Report– Sep 01, 1993 New regulations have been developed to protect water quality in areas of North Carolina where surface waters – streams, rivers, and lakes – are used as public drinking water sources. The regulations affect land use and development density. In some cases, they require that pollution control measures be used to help keep contaminants from entering waterways. Engineered stormwater controls are a type of control measure that will be required in some situations. This fact sheet describes engineered stormwater controls, explains how they work, and discusses their design, construction, operation, maintenance, and costs.
