Rules Implementation ResourcesFalls New Development Model ProgramThe Falls New Development rule required the division to develop a New Development Model Program to assist local governments in developing their local programs. The N.C. EMC approved the Division's Model Program on March 10, 2011. The Model Program contains a Model Ordinance and a Nutrient Loading Accounting Tool. Local governments had until Aug. 10, 2011 to develop and submit local programs. Model Ordinance (PDF) Model Ordinance (MS Word) Falls Lake Stormwater Accounting ToolThe Falls Rules also required the division to develop a Nutrient Loading Accounting Tool to estimate nutrient loading from new development and loading changes due to BMP implementation. The division contracted with N.C. State University's Stormwater Team to develop this tool. Two versions are available below. *Note (May 10, 2013): The tools found below are Version 2.0. Several errors were identified in the original tool such that under certain limited development scenarios, it produced erroneous results. Those errors were corrected and none of the tool's other functions have been changed. To help track versions, all sheets in the tool include a label at the top noting"Ver2.0". Please begin using Version 2.0 from this point forward.

The division asks local governments to share this memorandum with developers in their jurisdictions.
