The purpose of this Neuse and Tar-Pamlico Local Program is to establish and define the means by which Wilson County will comply with the requirements of the Neuse and Tar-Pamlico nutrient stormwater rule (henceforth, “Rule”) (15ANCAC 02B .0711, .0731).

This Local Program identifies the specific elements and minimum measures that Wilson County will develop, implement, enforce, evaluate and report to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Division of Water Resources (DWR) to comply with the requirements of the Rule. This Local Program covers activities associated with the discharge of nutrients in stormwater from Wilson County.

The Local Program will be evaluated annually, and updated as needed, to ensure that the elements and minimum measures it contains continue to adequately provide for Rule compliance.

Once the Local Program is approved by NCDEQ and the Environmental Management Commission, all provisions contained and referenced in it, along with any approved modifications, become enforceable.
