Develop, adopt, and implement an ordinance to ensure that the BMPs for reducing nutrientloading are selected. In areas where the EMC has approved an NSW Stormwater Management Program, the provisions of that program fulfill the nutrient loading reduction requirement.

Bioretention areas are landscaping features adapted to provide on-site treatment of storm water runoff. Surface runoff is directed into shallow, landscaped depressions.
![Page 21: How to Do Phase II: Post-Construction Site Runoff Controls NC STATE UNIVERSITY](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649db65503460f94aa8b89/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Bioretention areas are usually designed to use many of the pollutant removal mechanisms that operate in forested ecosystems.

Stormwater wetlands are similar to wet ponds but also incorporate wetland plants into the design. As stormwater runoff flows through the wetland, pollutants are removed through settling and biological uptake.

Stormwater wetlands are fundamentally different from natural wetland systems. Stormwater wetlands are designed specifically to treat stormwater runoff, and have less biodiversity than natural wetlands.
![Page 24: How to Do Phase II: Post-Construction Site Runoff Controls NC STATE UNIVERSITY](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649db65503460f94aa8b89/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Sand filters are good options in ultra-urban areas because they consume little space. Underground and perimeter sand filters in particular are well suited to the ultra-urban setting because they consume so surface space.
![Page 25: How to Do Phase II: Post-Construction Site Runoff Controls NC STATE UNIVERSITY](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649db65503460f94aa8b89/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Sand filters are an excellent option to treat runoff from storm water hot spots because stormwater has no interaction with groundwater.
(Hot spots include areas where vehicles are fueled, serviced, washed or stored and places where hazardous materials are generated or stored.)
![Page 26: How to Do Phase II: Post-Construction Site Runoff Controls NC STATE UNIVERSITY](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649db65503460f94aa8b89/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Ponds remove stormwater pollutants through settling and biological uptake.

Buffers are areas along a shoreline or stream where development is restricted or prohibited. Buffers cleanse stormwater and provide a physical barrier to protect waterways.
![Page 28: How to Do Phase II: Post-Construction Site Runoff Controls NC STATE UNIVERSITY](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649db65503460f94aa8b89/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Water reuse involves capturing stormwater from a roof before it is discharged into a storm drain. This reduces peak flow and also reduces the need to purchase treated water.
![Page 29: How to Do Phase II: Post-Construction Site Runoff Controls NC STATE UNIVERSITY](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649db65503460f94aa8b89/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Green roofs are simply a layer of vegetation grown on a layer of soil and drainage material on a rooftop. Rainwater is stored in the layers of drainage material for a short time before it is discharged.

DWQ recently initiated the USMP, which would be a
voluntary new program.
The USMP would allow a local government to implement a single set of post-construction requirements throughout its entire jurisdiction.
The USMP would be more straightforward, easier to implement, and more protective of the natural environment.
