Drainage Design & Erosion Control
The Environmental Services and Engineering departments have worked closely developing drainage design criteria and have adopted the NCTCOG iSWM Site Design Manual.

Information about the State permit, City ordinance, and other useful information is provided in this section.

Flood Plain Management
The Environmental Services and Engineering departments also work together in order to apply the City's Floodplain Management regulations. Copies of the City's ordinance, access to digital FEMA data, and the floodplain development permit are located in this section.
Garbage and Recycling
The Environmental Services department assists other departments in implementing the garbage and recycling collection contract. The City does not have its own staff that collects these materials, it hires a contractor to perform them. This section contains information about how to use the landfill, and when to set out your garbage and recycling.

Drainage System Maintenance and Repair
Storm Drainage maintenance includes repair of damaged underground pipes and the clearing of sediment and blockages from drainage ditches and channels on city property. The Environmental Services department does not routinely clear drainage utility easements on private property unless the drainage flow is obstructed and the blockage may lead to a structure flooding, nor does it provide erosion control on private property.
