The Town of Woodfin is required to regulate stormwater runoff for compliance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit, issued by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) with oversight from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Runoff is therefore required to be monitored by a stormwater management plan implemented by the Town of Woodfin which covers six program areas:

• Public Education and Outreach
• Public Involvement and Participation
• Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE)
• Post Construction Site Runoff Controls
• Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations

A draft version of the stormwater management plan provided by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NC-DEQ) can be found HERE. We are currently working on updating our stormwater policies to follow recommendations and requirements provided by the NC-DEQ.
