The City of Burlington is a federally designated NPDES Phase II community and is currently developing a Stormwater Management Program. The City received its Individual Stormwater Permit July 1, 2005 from the NCDENR-DWQ. It can be viewed on line at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/phase2_draft_individual_permits.htm
The stormwater program will operate as a division of the Water Resources Department. Water Resources will continue to coordinate management activities of multiple departments using both City resources and contract services. Existing City departments expected to be most involved include Engineering, Planning and Inspections, Water & Sewer, and Public Works. The Street Division will maintain responsibility for drainage and infrastructure located within the City’s transportation right-of-ways.
This site is under continuous development and interested persons should monitor occasionally for updates. To find out more about stormwater, please visit the Public Education Section. Persons needing additional information may contact Michael Layne in the Water Resources Department at (336) 222-5140.
