§ 20-1. Purpose.

Latest version.

The purpose of this chapter is to establish minimum criteria to control and minimize quantitative and qualitative impacts of stormwater runoff from development within the Town of Smithfield, a nutrient management program for new development in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0235 Neuse River Basin Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy: Basinwide Stormwater Requirements.

Further, prudent site planning should include special consideration for the purposes of preserving natural drainage ways, maximizing infiltration, and slowing stormwater runoff from individual sites in route to streams and rivers by use of effective runoff management, structural and non-structural best management practices, drainage structures, and stormwater facilities.
