Stormwater Management Program

The City of Shelby was designated as a regulated public entity under the NPDES Phase II Stormwater Program on January 14, 2010. This designation is pursuant to Session Law 2006-246 of the North Carolina General Assembly and requires the City to develop a stormwater management program and apply for a stormwater permit from the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources.  City staff has submitted the permit application and developed the Stormwater Management Plan Report (SWMP) that is required with the permit submission.  This information was presented to Shelby City Council on June 6, 2011 and was subsequently adopted at the Shelby City Council meeting on June 20, 2011.

You are invited to review the SWMP Report and submit any comments to stormwatercomments@cityofshelby.com or contact the City Engineering Department at (704) 484-6840.
