d. Standards
(1) Development Standards for the Neuse River Basin Watershed
A. Nitrogen Loading Rate Targets.
i. The project shall meet either a nitrogen stormwater loading rate target of 3.6 pounds per acre per year (lb/ac/yr) or meet “runoff volume match” as defined in 15A NCAC 02H .1002. ii. The project area used for nutrient calculation and stormwater requirements includes the site area less any existing built-upon area. The project density used for determining stormwater requirements is the amount of built-upon area subject to this section at project completion divided by the project area. iii. The developer shall determine the nitrogen load and loading rate generated from the project area without engineered stormwater controls and determine the needed nitrogen load reduction to meet nutrient targets by using the approved accounting tool. iv. The nitrogen loading standards in this section are supplemental to, not replacements for, stormwater standards otherwise required by federal, state or local law, including without limitation any riparian buffer requirements applicable to the location of the development. This includes, without limitation, the riparian buffer protection requirements of 15A NCAC 02B .0714 and .0295.
B. Methods to Meet Nutrient Control Requirements. Projects subject to this ordinance shall meet nitrogen loading targets through a combination of the following methods:
