PURPOSE: To consider approval of proposed amendments to the Soil Erosion and
Sedimentation Control Ordinance presented at the May 21, 2007 Quarterly Public Hearing.
BACKGROUND: Orange County has conducted soil erosion and sedimentation control
countywide since the original Ordinance was approved in 1975. Since adoption, the ordinance
has been revised 13 times. The first 12 were at the request of the State to match changes to the
State's model ordinance with the last request being in 1992. The thirteenth revision was made in
2003 and reflects the Commissioner's desire to ban open burning of large woody debris
resulting from land clearing activities subject to the Erosion Control Ordinance.
Revisions are highlighted in red and underlined. **~* indicate sections of the ordinance that are
unchanged. For a full copy of the proposed and amended ordinance, please see the Planning
and Inspections Office or the Clerks Office.
The current State requested revision is a result of recent changes to the State's model
ordinance. Proposed Changes to the Soil Erosion & Sedimentation Control Ordinance (per
NCDENR) fall under the following headings:
1. Ground Cover
2. Intent
3. Notice of Activity Initiation
4. Preconstruction Conference
5. Required Revisions
6: Civil Penalty Assessment Factors
7. Notice of Civil Penalty Assessment
8. Hearing
9. Final Decision
10. Appeal of Final Decision
11. Credit of Civil Penalties*
12. Graded Slopes and Fills
13. Financial Responsibility and Ownership
14. Land Disturbing Activity
15. Area Inspection
*Note: In the past, civil penalties collected pursuant to the ordinance were credited to the general
fund of the local government as non-tax revenue. The amended ordinance will require that penalties
collected be credited to the Civil Penalty and Forfeiture Fund (Case law on an air quality delegated
program determined that civil penalties assessed by local governments pursuant to a state
delegation had to be remitted to the Civil Penalty and Forfeiture Fund for the benefit of the local
school boards pursuant to the State Constitution's provision on State penalties, fines, and
forfeitures.) Since 1996, Orange County Erosion control has collected approximately $2,000 (all in
1997-98 and from one contractor).
This item was presented at the May 21, 2007 Quarterly Public Hearing. No comments were
received from the public. There was a Commissioner question for the County Attorney
concerning civil penalties and recovery of costs to the County. He responded that fees collected
went to the public schools.
The Planning Board considered this item on July 11, 2007 and voted unanimously to
recommend approval.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. Existing Erosion control staff is currently implementing and
administering the Ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Administration recommends approval of the proposed
amendments to the Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Ordinance.

Agenda Item 3: Approval of Minutes
June 6, 2007
Bernadette Pelissier: On page 3, line 54 should read, "I have highlighted".
Renee Price: On page 6, line 186 should read, "I have a problem" instead of program.
Sam Lasris: On page 8, line 291 through 329 didn't make sense.
Jay Bryan: It may help if some parts were in quotes. On page 8, line 292 should read "high quality of life". On page
8, line 310 should read "accessible". On page 8, line 316 should read "public accessible".
Craufurd Goodwin: I would like to suggest that everyone bring their written changes in with them to save time.
Jay Bryan: We need to check with Geoff Gledhill to make sure there will not be a problem. Approval of the minutes.
MOTION made by Jeffrey Schmitt.
Seconded by Renee Price.
VOTE: Unanimous
Agenda Item 4: CONSIDERATION OF ADDITIONS TO THE AGENDA
Agenda Item 5: PUBLIC CHARGE
Approved 8/1/07
Jay Bryan: I am okay with it being used for this plan but not being adopted as a broad County wide approach. This
is implied to be a County wide approach and I don't agree with that.
Michael Harvey: The task force is making a recommendation, whether it is accepted or not, to use REDA in this plan.
By adopting this plan, it does not establish the REDA. It still has to go through the normal zoning and land use text
process amendments to bring it to fruition.
Brian Crawford: I think we want to recommend the SAP but we have reservations about REDA being adopted
County wide. I think it is fair to state that in the motion.
MOTION made by Renee Price to approve the plan with the understanding that the residents have agreed to the plan
and REDA will not be adopted County wide. Brian Crawford seconded.
VOTE: (2 opposed (Jeffrey Schmitt, Joel Knight)
C. REVISIONS TO THE SOIL EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL ORDINANCE
Presenter: Ren Ivies
Ren Ivies: Reviewed the abstract.
Jay Bryan: You are summarizing the changes are made and giving it to us. These don't fall under our standards.
Brian Crawford: Is there any instance when the State ordinances are looser?
Ren Ivies: Absolutely. They do not regulate any land disturbance under one acre, we regulate them down to zero.
MOTION made by Craufurd Goodwin to accept recommendations made by staff. Sam Lasris seconded
VOTE: (Unanimous)
d. AMENDMENTS TO THE ORANGE COUNTY STORMWATER ORDNANCE FOR LANDS WITHIN
THE NEUSE RIVER BASIN
Presenter: Ren Ivies
MOTION made by Jeffrey Schmitt: to accept recommendations made by staff on page 139. Sam Lasris seconded.
