Onslow working on Off-site Wastewater Changes PDF Print E-mail
Friday, 18 March 2011 08:59

The Onslow County Planning Board has been discussing off-site septic systems and concerns with the continued use of these systems in subdivision design over the past several months.  The Board will be holding a workshop meeting with developers and design professionals to share ideas for additional changes to the Subdivision Ordinance to address some of their concerns regarding off-site systems.  This meeting will be held in the Halsey Meeting Room in the Planning & Development Department building on Thursday, March 31 at 7 p.m.  We are attaching a handout that includes three lists:  the first is a list of the current requirements; the second is a listing of additional standards for consideration; and the third is a listing of ideas that the Board had considered but has not deleted from consideration. 

We hope you can attend this important meeting so we can get feedback and possibly additional ideas before the Board takes any final action to recommend a new set of text changes to the Board of Commissioners.

If you cannot attend the meeting, please feel free to call and/or submit any written comments/questions/concerns.

Air Quality Challenges in New Hanover County PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 17 March 2011 13:43

You may have seen New Hanover County Commissioner Rick Catlin discussing potential "nonattainment" in New Hanover County. Here's what that would mean to you:

The Clean Air Act requires that EPA set national air quality standards for certain pollutants.  One of those pollutants is Sulfur Dioxide (S02).  In June 2010, EPA strengthened the primary national standard for sulfur dioxide.  This change was brought about as a result of scientific studies that provided strong evidence for a link between short term exposures to S02 and adverse respiratory outcomes http://www.epa.gov/air/sulfurdioxide. In revising this standard, EPA believes that they will improve public health, especially for children, the elderly, and people with asthma - which are the groups most susceptible to the health problems associated with breathing S02. In North Carolina, the new standard has a particularly significant effect on New Hanover County, because S02 monitoring data conducted between 2008-2010 shows that levels of S02 in the County exceed the new standard.  New Hanover County is the only area in North Carolina where monitoring results exceed the new standard.
