Mecklenburg UCC February 2016 Minutes Meeting opened at 10:07 by Chair, Matt Barringer Introductions around the room Review of January 2016 minutes. Motion to accept by Sam Gonzalez. Seconded by Roger Richards. Craig Miller, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services, spoke about City & County ordinances regarding run-off, storm drains, discharge, and violations. Containment, storage, and disposal is an issue. You can empty into a private pit that is contained and allow the discharge to dry. For areas over an acre you need a permit from the State of North Carolina. There are rental companies that supply containers for the discharge. Storm Water Services would rather avoid issuing citations and violations and would prefer compliance. Enforcement could include fines up to $5,000.00 per day. Craig will send an email which is a draft he would like the group to review. (email sent)
