Stormwater Control Measures

As part of the compliance requirements of the Phase II Stormwater Program mandated by federal and state governments, Stormwater Control Measures (SCMs), previously known as Best Management Practices (BMPs), were required to be installed to capture and treat storm water runoff from your property when your project was developed.  These SCMs were designed to allow pollutants in the runoff to be filtered prior to release from your property.

State guidelines were used when these SCMs were designed and installed.  As part of these guidelines, regular inspection of components of each water quality treatment measure, or SCM, and detention structure, is required. Any deficient elements in the SCM should be corrected, repaired, or replaced immediately.  These deficiencies can affect the integrity of the structures, safety of the public, and the pollutant removal efficiency of the SCM.

Design requirements

• Please reference the following for design requirements:
  • NC-DEQ Stormwater Design Manual 
  • Article 4 of the Concord Technical Standards
• When submitting plans for final approval, you must submit a full set of the final stormwater calculations.

As-Built Certification

• Follow the checklist on the SCM Intake Form to execute the SCM maintenance agreement.
• Please submit the following to Clint Shoaf for review:
  • As-Built Plans
  • As-Built Survey
  • As-Built Checklist (below)
  • Calculations
• Please complete the As-Built Site Visit Inspection (through the map below).

As-Built Checklists

As-Built Site Visit Inspection

Please find your site on the map and complete the inspection report.  This report is used to assure the device is in good condition at the end of the construction phase. The engineer sealing this form must visit the site as part of this as-built inspection process.
