History
On July 1, 2005, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) in the North Caroline
Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) began issuing Phase II stormwater
permits to municipalities in North Carolina under the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System Program (NPDES). At the time, the NPDES Phase 11 Program was the
latest stormwater program stemming from the Federal Clean Water Act of 1972. Prior to
the Phase 1I program, EPA and NC DEQ had issued NPDES Phase I Stormwater Permits
to Cities with populations larger than 100,000 residents. In North Carolina, these cities
were Raleigh, Charlotte, Fayetteville, Durham, Greensboro, and Winston Salem. Following
Session Law 2006-2,16, a city must comply with Phase 11 NPDES requirements if the city
population is greater than 10,000 or more than 4,000 housing units and either a population
density of 1,000 people per square mile or more than 400 housing; units per square mile.
The City of Shelby has a population of 20,323 and 434 housing units per square mile.

Stormwater Annual Report December 2015 - November 2016
On December 1, 2012, the City was issued a National Pollution Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) Stormwater Discharge Permit (NPDES Permit Number NCS000560). The
intent of the permit is to improve the quality of the nation's waterways by reducing the
quantity of pollutants that stormwater transports into stormwater systems and discharges
to surface water bodies. The permit requires permittees at a minimum to develop,
implement, and enforce a stormwater program designed to reduce the discharge of
pollutants from the municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) to the maximum extent
practicable. The stormwater program is composed of the following six management
measures as defined in the NPDES Permit:
1. Public Education and Outreach
2. Public Involvement and Participation
3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
4. Construction Site Runoff Controls
5. Post -Construction Site Runoff Controls
6. Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
Each of these measures consists of required Best Management Practices (BMPs),
measurable goals for each BMP and an implementation schedule for the 5-year permit cycle.
Additionally, the City of Shelby adopted a Comprehensive Stormwater Management
Program, which must be followed just as if it was part of the permit, and completes annual
reporting about the NPDES Phase 11 Program. This Annual Report is intended to
document the City's progression in implementing the NPDES Permit and Comprehensive
Stormwater Management Plan

Stormwater Annual Report December 2015 -- November 2016
The City of Shelby Stormwater System consists of a combination of piping, ditches, and
sheet flow. Per City Ordinance, all new city streets constructed by private developers must
have curb and gutter Stormwater systems with the exception of very low volume roads 000
trips per day serving Iess than 20 lots greater than one acre each). The stormwater
conveyance system within the City's public right-of-ways is maintained by the City of
Shelby's Stormwater Division and Public Works Department. The stormwater system for
state maintained roads is operated and maintained by the North Carolina Department of
Transportation. A map of the City of Shelby Phase 11 Area is provided in Appendix A.
In addition to the City of Shelby Phase 11 NPDES Stormwater Program, the City also has
two additional water quality programs:
1. The Watershed Protection Overlay Districts (Unified Development Ordinance
Section 10-1) are designed to protect designated public water supply watersheds
from activities which could degrade water quality. The purpose of this is to
implement the provisions of the Water Supply Watershed Protection Act (NCGS
143-214.5) which requires the City of Shelby to adopt minimum land use
regulations to protect water quality of public surface water supplies within the
City's zoning jurisdiction. Development within this district shall employ best
management practices to minimize water quality impacts.
2. The Flood Hazard Overly District (UDO Section 10-2) is designed for the purpose
of protecting people and property from the hazards of flooding in accordance with
the authority provided in NCGS 160A-381 and 160A-174. This program
addresses many issues such as Artificial Obstructions with Floodways, building
design requirements above base flood elevations, and on -site sewage disposal
system requirements that avoid impairment or contamination from it during
flooding.
Broad River Basin Receiving Waters
The following table was compiled from data provided by NCDEQ. The table provides a list
of receiving streams that are impacted by stormwater from the City of Shelby. This table
lists the stream name, water quality classification given by NCDEQ, and any water quality
issues that are known to exist on the stream segment. The water quality classifications are
defined as follows:
• "C" indicates waters protected for secondary recreation (wading, boating, and other
uses involving human body contact with water), fishing, wildlife, fish consumption,
aquatic life including propagation, survival, and maintenance of biological integrity,
agriculture and other uses suitable for Class C.
• "WS-11I" indicate waters used as sources of water supply for drinking, culinary or
food processing purposes where a more protective WS-I or WS-11 classification is not
feasible. These waters are also protected for Class C uses. WS-111 waters are
typically in low to moderately developed watersheds.
• "WS-IV" indicates waters used as sources of water supply for drinking, culinary or
food processing purposes where a WS-1, WS-II, or WS-III classification is not
feasible. These waters are also protected for Class C uses. WS-IV waters are
generally in moderately to highly developed watersheds.

NPDES Phase II Minimum Control Measures
Each of the six Minimum Control Measures (MCM's) has a set of best management practices
(BMP's) that are intended to foster compliance with both the City's Permit and the CSWMP.
Public Education and Outreach
The City operates a Public Education and Outreach program that is designed to educate the
general public about the need to improve water quality in stormwater. The general
objectives are to distribute educational materials to the community and/or to conduct
equivalent outreach activities about the impacts of stormwater discharges on surface waters
and the steps the public can take to reduce pollutants in stormwater runoff. These
objectives have been further refined to target residents, schoolchildren, local businesses
(examples include: gas station owners, landscaping companies, and contractors), and
industry because these groups have the most impact on stormwater pollution prevention.
Pollutants discussed in the educational program include but are not limited to:
• Trash and Debris • Sediment • Household Chemicals
• Yard Waste • Used Oil • Fecal Coliform
• Automobile and • Lawn Care
Equipment Washing Products
City staff also maintains a variety of brochures and other handouts at multiple public and
private locations such as:
• City Hall
• Shelby Utilities Operation Center
• Shelby Customer Services
• Shelby -Cleveland County Regional Airport
• Cleveland Memorial Library
• Veterinary Hospitals and Pet Supply stores
• Local Hardware Stores
• City of Shelby website at http://www.cityofShelby.com/services/stormwater/
The following is a partial list of the topics addressed in the literature at these locations:
• Pet Waste • Erosion Control • Yard Waste
• Oil and Chemicals • Litter • Agriculture
The City of Shelby Planning and Development Services is responsible for building and
development permitting throughout the City. At the time of issuing permits, contractors
are provided with information including a handout on erosion and sediment control.
During this reporting period, 196 handouts were distributed.

Public Participation and Involvement
The City Stormwater Division views the requirement for Public Participation and
Involvement as an essential feature of a successful stormwater program. The City has seen
a growing interest in the stormwater program and will continue placing a large emphasis on
promoting stormwater.
In an effort to make it more convenient for citizens to obtain additional information or to
report issues, the City maintains a stormwater hotline [phone]) with the Customer
Services Department. The City also utilizes an email address that is simply
stormwater a cityofshelby.com that is intended to provide another simple means of
communication.
The City of Shelby partnered with Keep Shelby
Beautiful to coordinate four litter collection events
within the City and had a total of 62 citizens
participate in these events. Approximately 1,300
bounds of garbage were collected during the four
events.
The City of Shelby assisted Cleveland County in the
Annual Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day
in 2016. Approximately 304 county residents
participated in disposing of hazardous wastes such
as paint and pesticides. The Collection Day also
resulted in 375 pounds of unwanted/expired
medication being taken out of the waste stream.

The City plans to initiate a storm drain marking program in 2017. This program will
strongly encourage public participation and will focus on the areas that receive the most
pedestrian traffic and areas that have had illegal dumping or similar issues in the past.
The City has begun replacing standard manhole lids with new City of Shelby Stormwater
manhole lids. The goal is to bring awareness that Stormwater is not treated and everything
that enters the stormwater system flows to streams and rivers.

Stormwater Annual Report December 2015 — November 2016
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
The City of Shelby continues to implement an effective Illicit Discharge Detection and
Elimination (IDDE) Program. The goal of the IDDE Program is to identify and eliminate
any discharges to the stormwater system that are not strictly stormwater runoff with the
only exceptions being those that are specifically listed in the City of Shelby Phase II
Stormwater Ordinance.
An illicit discharge is typically dirt, soap, pet waste, litter, oil, fertilizer, pesticides, or raw
sewage and often times comes from "generating sites." Generating sites are points of
pollution that continue over a period and are recurring at regular or irregular intervals.
The foundation of the IDDE program is the City of Shelby Phase 11 Stormwater Ordinance
that was adopted in November 201:3 by Shelby City Council. The IDDE ordinance provides
legal authority to restrict illegal discharges, prohibits illicit connections, provides conditions
for cleaning up and preventing polluted spills, provides for right of entry into a property to
investigate prohibited activities, and provides the City with options for enforcing the
Ordinance.
The second portion of the IDDE program focuses on the City's Stormwater System Map.
The initial mapping phase was completed by GPS mapping and is now maintained in the
City's GIS system. The initial data has been verified and the map is being updated as
necessary. The map includes the entire stormwater system and serves as an efficient tool
when investigating illicit discharges or connections.
The IDDE program also
utilizes dry weather
screening of outfalls and
storm system pipes. The
location of the outfalls is
shown in Appendix B.
Outfalls and storm system
pipes that had dry weather
flows are reported and then
have follow up investigations
completed. During this
reporting year, all 295 of the ; }
297 major outfalls were
inspected (access is currently `
restricted to two outfalls).
Currently, there are 41
possible illicit discharges/connections within the Ci i \ . Some of these are ongoing issues
that we continue to work to resolve. Two have been resolved this year and were results of
leaking sanitary sewer lines. The lines were repaired and the illicit discharge resolved.
�I�Ih� Page 15

Stormwater Annual Report December 2015 - November 2016
The City Stormwater Department continues to investigate issues to resolve them with the
goal of protecting the City's water quality. The Stormwater Division along with the Water
Resources Department have purchased a new camera system to be utilized in not only
surveying piping throughout the City, but also to assist in tracking the source of illicit
discharges/connections. The current locations of illicit discharges within the City are show
on the map in Appendix C.
The City had five reportable sanitary sewer overflows during this reporting year, three of
which resulted in 1,635 gallons of sanitary sewer reaching surface waters. Of the three
reaching surface waters, two were the result of line blockages and one was a result of a
control failure. The City's Field Operations Department works to operate and maintain the
sanitary sewer system on a daily basis. Several projects have been completed over the last
year to specifically reduce inflow and infiltration to the sanitary sewer system with the
ultimate goal of reducing overflows.
City Staff are trained on an
annual basis to identify illicit
discharges and connections
and the reporting process for
these issues. This training is
combined with the Pollution
Prevention and Good
Housekeeping training of
public works, utilities,
recreation, planning, and code
enforcement staff as well as
some fire and police
personnel.

Construction Site Runoff Controls
The City of Shelby, like many other municipalities in North Carolina, delegate the
Construction Site Runoff Controls to the NCDEQ Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land
Resources. While the City of Shelby does not have a delegated erosion control program,
City Staff does ensure that all site development plans that disturb greater than 1.0 acres of
land provide a copy of the erosion control plans and an approved permit from NCDEQ. The
City of Shelby has a strong working relationship with NCDEQ and reports sedimentation
and erosion control issues as they arise.
tikxlh� Page 17

Stormwater AnnuM Report December 2015 - November 2016
Post Construction Site Runoff Controls
On November 18, 2013, the Shelby City Council approved Ordinance No. 41-2013 that
established the City's post -construction stormwater management requirements. This
ordinance was largely based on the state model ordinance and meets NCDEQ rules and
regulations. In addition to the Post- Construction Ordinance, a stormwater administrative
manual that outlines permitting, and an efficient review and permitting process were
established. The Post- Construction Stormwater Management Program applies to projects
that exceed 1.0 acre of disturbance or have a common plan of development that will
cumulatively exceed 1.0 acres of disturbance, Projects that exceed the 1.0-acre threshold are
then identified as either high or low density projects based upon their built upon area (BUA).
Projects that exceed 24% BUA qualify as high density projects, while projects that are less
than 24% BUA are low density projects. High Density Projects are then required to meet
the following requirements:
• Control and treat runoff from the first 1" of rain.
• Treated runoff is to have an 85% TSS reduction.
• Discharge treated water at a rate less than or equal to the pre -development rate for
the 1-year 24-hour storm.
• Discharge treated water between 48-120 hours.
• Stormwater control measures must be in recorded access easements and must have
a recorded operation and maintenance agreement.
Stormwater control measures, as well as runoff calculations, are prepared based on the most
recent version of the NC DEQ BMP Manual and are then reviewed by the Certified Plan
Reviewers within the City of Shelby Engineering Department. City Staff that are
responsible for the review of stormwater plans and issuing the Stormwater Management
Permits must obtain a Plan Reviewer Certification through NC State and then complete the
necessary annual recertification process.
The Engineering Department then ensures that the plans either meet or are revised to meet
state standards for stormwater management. After plans are approved and the appropriate
preliminary documents are submitted, a City of Shelby Stormwater Management Permit is
issued.
After approval of the project and completion of construction, the owner is required to
complete an Operation and Maintenance Agreement and an Access Easement for the
stormwater control measures. The O&M agreement with the appropriate BMP specific
addenda along with the access easement are then recorded at the Cleveland County
Register of Deeds. The recording of these documents meet the permit and Phase I1
Ordinance requirements.

The City of Shelby conducts construction inspections and requires as -built drawings and an
Engineer's Certification of Completion prior to a Certificate of Occupancy being issued for
any project that is issued a Stormwater Management Permit. After construction of a BMP is
completed, the information is added to the City's GIS system. This system then has all
related information linked to the newly added feature so future access to the information
will be readily available. The City currently has nine certified and completed projects and
four that are either in the planning phase or under construction.
The City also encourages consultation meetings with representatives of future projects that
will be required to conform to Phase lI stormwater management requirements to assist in
the permitting process and ensure compliance with the City ordinance. It has been the
experience of City staff that completing these meetings and discussions early in the planning
process are critical to an efficient review and permitting process. A substantial amount of
time was spent by the City to develop a thorough Administrative Manual that outlines the
requirements and steps necessary to apply for and receive a stormwater management
permit. This manual includes application forms and detailed checklists that a developer is
able to utilize when preparing plans for a proposed project in an effort to streamline the
permitting process to the extent possible.

Stormwater Annual Report December 2015 — November 2016
Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping
Pollution prevention is a primary
goal of the City's stormwater
management plan and good
f
housekeeping is critical to that
goal. Municipalities, in general,
conduct many activities that can
potentially pose a threat to water
quality. Municipal facilities are a
potential source of contamination
but with good housekeeping
habits this potential can be greatly
reduced. The City attempts to
minimize stormwater pollution
from municipal operations by
implementing BMPs such as
training, inspections, and
providing spill controls and
countermeasures. The City
purchased twelve 30-gallon mixed
application spill kits to be placed
ua
at various City facilities as well as'�
102 vehicle spill kits for City
vehicles. Facility inspections are City employee utilizing a spill kit to assist a citizen
conducted annually to ensure
BMPs are in place and functioning properly. Deficiencies are reported to facility managers to
ensure they are adequately addressed. Each facility also inspects their respective areas on a
regular basis and corrects deficiencies as necessary. Vehicle wash bays at various facilities
are cleaned as needed and collected sediment is properly disposed of.
City staff training is an important part of pollution prevention and good housekeeping.
Staff training includes but is not limited to proper materials handling procedures and spill
prevention, control, and countermeasures. At this point, the Stormwater Division primarily
utilizes Excal Visual training videos for staff training. These videos cover the topics of
stormwater pollution prevention for MS4s and illicit discharge detection and elimination.
The City of Shelby operates two street sweepers on a daily basis. Mobile 311, a GPS based
mapping tool, is utilized to monitor the streets being swept. With this information, City
staff is able to analyze the frequency that streets are being swept at and determine if there
are environmental or infrastructure conditions that can be improved at areas that require
the most frequent sweeping. Through the large emphasis placed on street sweeping, the
City removed approximately 437 tons of debris during the last permit year and disposed of
the debris at the Cleveland County Landfill.
*.IbI Page 21

Stormwater Annual Report December 2015 - November 2016
The City operates two leaf/grass clipping vacuum trucks daily. During the months of October
through December, the City operates two additional vacuum trucks. During this permit
period, the City of Shelby has disposed of approximately 1,352 tons of leaves at the Cleveland
County Ijandfill.
As specified in the City's Municipally Mcrrrrluiiwd streets, Catch Basins and Conueyance
Systems Operation and Maintenance Manual dated November 1, 2013, the City inspects
and cleans all City owned parking lots once per month or as needed. Culverts throughout
the City are inspected periodically throughout the year for excessive debris and cleaned as
needed. Components of the stormwater system (pipes, catch basins, grates, inlets, etc.) are
primarily inspected and cleaned during or following rain events and when problems are
reported.
bbe b11 Page 22

Stormwater Annual Report December 2015 - November 2016
Utilizing the City's jet vacuum truck, approximately 20 structures (catch basins and pipes)
have been cleaned allowing stormwater to flow and reducing street flooding.
During the winter, the City of
Shelby primarily utilizes sand for
traction control during ice or snow
events. Salt is utilized on a very
limited basis for de-icin;;
primarily on steep inclines and
bridges. Most of the ice and snow
removal on City maintained
streets and parking lots is
completed via snow plows and
other mechanical means.

Infrastructure
Based on the G1S mapping that has been completed by City staff over the past 3 years, the
City maintains approximately 28 miles of stormwater piping AND over 2,83:3 stormwater
structures within City of Shelby public right-of-ways.
During the previous permit year, the City received 51 stormwater related work orders.
Work orders are issued based primarily on citizens calling Customer Service. The
breakdown of the work order issues are as follows:
• 20 were private property issues for the property owner to address
• 25 were City issues to be addressed by City Staff
• 6 were North Carolina Department of Transportation issues
The City completed the design and/or construction on multiple infrastructure improvement
projects during the permit year. The following list is a sample of some of the stormwater
construction projects that were completed:
• Arey St. and S. Trade St. Alley Project — Construct Spring 2017 ($207,108)
• Chestnut and Oakley St. Stormwater Replacement ($15,000 est.)
• Plating and injecting nine culverts throughout the City ($90,364)
• Police Department Stormwater Replacement Design ($4,700)
• Logan St. Parking Lot Stormwater System ($16,453.79)
• Kingsbury St. Culvert Replacement ($46,500)
• Montrose Cir. Culvert Replacement ($57,450)
• Arden Dr. and Woodlawn Ave. Stormwater Replacement ($29,120)
These projects include the replacement of failing or undersized structures and the
installation of new structures within the public right-of-way.
Utilizing the Transportation Asset Management Plan developed for the City in February
2015, nine culverts were identified for repair this year. This process includes filling inverts
with sandbags if necessary, installing reinforcing bands, plating the inverts of the pipes, and
injecting resin into the voids to create a solid seal around the pipe. By doing this, the City
avoided costly replacement of the pipes as well as maintained traffic on the streets.
During this reporting period, the City began utilizing the Envirosight camera system to
video and photograph the conditions of several stormwater systems throughout the City. In
addition to producing a video of the inside of the system, a detailed report is generated
outlining problem areas through a pipe and the approximate location of the issue. This
method of inspection allows the City of identify failing systems and to pinpoint illicit
discharges and connections throughout the City. The City has purchased a new IBAK
camera system and will be continuing system inspections in 2017.

Stormwater Infrastructure Assistance Program
On February 1, 2016, the Shelby City Council approved Ordinance No. 3-2016 that
established the City's Stormwater Infrastructure Assistance Program. This ordinance was
to provide a program to assist property owners with the costs of resolving issues related to
stormwater on private property. At the time a property owner applies for assistance, City
staff evaluates the problem based on the following criteria:
• Threat to an inhabited home from severe erosion.
• Threat of flooding to an inhabited home.
• Damaged or undersized drainage features connecting to street drains.
• Damaged or undersized drainage features no connected to street drains.
• Illicit discharges or connections.
• Private property flooding (not impacting a permanent structure) -
Each application is processed and categorized based on these criteria and in a first -come,
first -served basis. Funding for the program is evaluated annually with the adoption of the
City's operating budget. For residential properties, the City pays 80% of the cost and the
property owner pays 20%. For commercial properties, the City pays 50% and the property
owner pays 50%. The City has also established a means for the property owner's costs to be
assessed over a 5-year period.
Since the adoption of the ordinance, the City has completed four projects under the program.
The City has spent $45,050 and the private property owners have spent $8,950. We
currently have two more projects designed and are in the process of bidding them out for
construction.

For commercial properties, the Shelby City Council adopted a Stormwater Utility Fee Credit
Program via Resolution No. 41-2014. There is a maximum credit of 30% with a 10% fee
credit offered in three categories:
1. Water Quality (10% credit) — Properties must provide an onsite BMP that reduces
the impact of pollution on water quality and conforms to the design and maintenance
standards in the City of Shelby's Phase II Stormwater Ordinance and the NCDEQ
BMP Manual (minimum 85% TSS removal).
2. Water Quantity (10% credit) — Properties must provide a post -development rate of
runoff that is less than or equal to the runoff rates at pre -development. If properties
cannot achieve pre -development runoff rates, but do reduce runoff rates, fee credits
will be issued proportionally based on the amount of reduction achieved.
3. Industrial Stormwater Permit (10% credit) — An industrial property that is covered
by an individual or general NPDES Stormwater discharge permit is eligible for this
credit if all requirements of the permit are satisfied.

3. Existing Water Quality Programs
3.1. Local Programs:
a) Watershed Protection Overlay District (Unified Development Ordinance Section 10-1)
The watershed protection overlay districts are designed to protect designated public
water supply watershed from activities which could degrade water quality. The
Purpose of this is to implement the provisions of the Water Supply Watershed
Protection Act (NCGS 143-214.5) which requires the City of Shelby to adopt
minimum land use regulations to protect water quality of public surface water
supplies within the City's zoning jurisdiction. Development within this district shall
employ best management practices to minimize water quality impacts.
b) Flood Hazard District Overlay Requirements (UDO Section 10-2)
The Flood Hazard Overly District is designed for the purpose of protecting people
and property from the hazards of Flooding in accordance with the authority provided
in NCGS 160A-381 and 160A-174. This program addresses many issues such as
Artificial Obstructions with Floodways, building design requirements above base Flood
elevations, and on -site sewage disposal system requirements that avoid impairment
or contamination from it during flooding.
3.2. State Programs:
NCDENR Erosion and Sediment Control
The North Carolina Department of Natural Resources implements the Sedimentation
Pollution Control Act (SPCA) by adopting rules, setting standards, and providing
guidance. This program currently reviews plans for all construction sites greater
than or equal to 1.0 acre within the City's jurisdictional limits. This state agency is
also responsible for field inspections and enforcement as required.

7. Stormwater Management Program Plan
7.1. Public Education and Outreach on Storm Water Impacts
7.1.1. BMP Summary Table: See Appendix B (pg. 25) for the details on the following BMP's:
➢ Semi-annual newsletters included with utility billings.
➢ Distribute stormwater brochures through public facilities.
➢ Informational website linked to City web page.
➢ Establish reporting hotline.
➢ Coordinate with other in-house communication tools.
7.1.2. Target Audience: The target audience for this measure will be households, businesses,
and industries. Efforts will be made to target materials to school age children, the
general public, and City employees. Materials will also be created to focus on different
types of uses, such as residential, commercial, and industrial.
7.1.3. Target Pollutant Sources:
➢ Trash: An accumulation of trash and debris can clog stormsewer pipes, creating hazards for
vehicles, pedestrians, and homes.
➢ Sediment: Sediment removal reduces sedimentation of waterways and improves water
quality for aquatic life, recreational uses, and drinking water supplies.
➢ Car Washing: Car washing can introduce pollutants into the stormsewer system and is
normally done under conditions where the runoff is not diluted.
➢ Disposal of Household Chemicals and used Oil: Improper disposal of chemicals and
oil degrades waterways and water quality.
➢ Application of Lawn Care Products: Overuse and improper application of lawn products
poses risks to the natural environment, as well as people and animals.
➢ Fecal Coliform: Point and non -point pollution sources can increase levels of fecal coliform
in a waterway.
7.1.4. Outreach Program: The City of Shelby's approach for the outreach program will use
different methods to distribute information and inform the public. Initially, outreach
efforts will focus on mailers, flyers, and brochures to make the public aware of the
stormwater program. Outreach efforts will also include updates to the City's website
that will include general stormwater information and email links to report violations. In
addition to the web -based information a hotline will also be established for the public
to contact City Staff.
7.1.5. Decision Process: The overall purpose of the City of Shelby stormwater plan is to provide
a solid foundation of information for the public over the next five years. The City has not
had a comprehensive stormwater program and these BMP's represent the initial steps in
starting a program. Due to the extensiveness of the changes that are required, the City
is not prepared to deal with all aspects of stormwater management simultaneously.
However, the approach outlined in this application represents progressive steps
designed to build on each other. It also allows for an evaluation of the BMP's
effectiveness and the ability to make adjustments as needed. This approach will also
accommodate any future revisions to the final stormwater rules that will be adopted by
the State.
7.1.6. Evaluation: The effectiveness of this measure will be evaluated on an annual basis
through a review of the number of materials developed and distributed. Additionally,
the number of contacts through the hotline and email will be tracked to document the
impact that the materials are having on the public.
Page 1 13

7.2. Public Involvement and Participation
7.2.1. BMP Summary Table: See Appendix B (pg. 25) for the details on the following BMP's.
➢ Hold public comments session for stormwater permit application.
➢ Establish a stormwater steering committee of citizens and stakeholders.
D Storm drain marking/Stream Clean Up Day
➢ Annual Public Meeting on program progress
7.2.2. Target Audience: The target audience will be the general public.
7.2.3. Participation Program: A public comments session was held by the City Council allowing
the general public to comment on the Stormwater Permit Application and Management
Program.
7.2.4. Decision Process: The public comments seession process was chosen because it gives
any interested party an opportunity to comment on proposed regulations. A public
comments session also ensures that the elected officials have an opportunity to hear
comments directly from the public. The stormwater steering committee and the storm
drain marking / Stream Clean Up Day will be established to ensure that citizen's take
some "ownership" of the program and work as with the City to ensure goals are met.
7.2.5. Evaluation: The effectiveness will be evaluated by holding an Annual Public Meeting on
program progress in compliance with State and Local requirements for a public hearing.
7.3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
7.3.1. BMP Summary Table: See Appendix B (pg. 25) for the details on the following BMP's.
➢ Develop and adopt ordinance regarding illicit connections.
➢ Establish stormwater system map through the Geographic Information System (GIS)
➢ Identify illicit connections through dry weather screening and video inspections
➢ Train employees on how to inspect for illicit connections and establish a tracking system for
managing reported problems
➢ Utilize local hotline set up under Public Involvement Program for public reporting of
illicit discharge/ illegal dumping.
➢ Coordinate with local wastewater program on identification of potential cross connections
between sanitary sewer and storm sewers.
➢ Identify responsible party within organization to manage follow up and enforcement
actions.
7.3.2. Storm Sewer System Map: The City currently has paper maps on a small percentage of the
stormsewer system. This information will provide a base for an updated comprehensive
stormsewer map. At a minimum the map will identify stormsewer outfalls and receiving
waters. All maps will be available through the City of Shelby Utilities Department for
review and comment.
7.3.3. Regulatory Mechanism: The City will develop and adopt ordinances for defining and
correcting illicit connections and discharges to the stormsewer system. City Staff will also
develop procedures to identify problem areas and trace it to the source.
7.3.4. Enforcement: The Code of Ordinances will be amended to allow for enforcement actions to
be initiated for stormwater violations. At a minimum the methodology will involve
notification of the property owner, establishing a remediation period, and issuance of
Page 1 14

fines as needed.
7.3.5. Detection and Elimination: The City's proposed approach to detect and eliminate illicit
discharges will start with a general evaluation of the stormsewer system. The evaluations
will primarily be conducted during prolonged dry periods during the summer months. Once
the preliminary evaluation is complete a more detailed investigation of the stormsewer
system will be conducted. Once discharges are detected enforcement actions will taken.
7.3.5.1. Procedures for locating priority areas: The City will use several different
methods to identify illicit connections. First, dry weather evaluations of
stormsewer outfalls will be conducted to identify problems areas. Second, on -
site inspections of industries and businesses will be conducted on an as -needed
basis. These inspections will be coordinated through existing inspections
programs in various City Departments. Third, the general public will be provided
with reporting mechanisms to notify City personnel of illicit connections. The
City will also train employees to identify illicit connections and report possible
violations to appropriate staff members. Additional detection methods will be
evaluated during the permit cycle and changes will be made as needed.
7.3.5.2. Procedures for tracing the source of an illicit discharge: The City will use
common methods, such as video, smoke, and dye to determine the source of an
observed illicit discharge.
7.3.5.3. Procedures for removing the source of the illicit discharge: The City will
adopt an ordinance specifying the procedures and authority to eliminate an illicit
connection or discharge. The ordinance will give City employees the right to
perform on -site inspections, grant right -of -entry powers, outline corrective
actions, and specify procedures for issuing fines and citations.
7.3.5.4. Procedures for evaluation of illicit connection and discharge
component: A stormwater advisory group composed of designated City employees
will evaluate the program on an annual basis. The group will evaluate the
suggested BMP's for that year and determine whether they were met. If the goals
of the suggested BMP's are not fulfilled the group will decide whether to devise a
new strategy for the BMP, modify the implementation method, or extend the time
frame for the strategy.

dumping through the methods discussed in the Public Education component. As for City
employees, this information will be integrated into training programs.
7.3.8. Staff Training: City staff will be trained in meetings that include employees from various
departments. The presentation will include pictures that are representative of common
illicit discharges. City staff will be directed to report all possible illicit discharges to the
city staff member designated by the Public Utilities Director
7.3.9. Decision Process: The program approach for illicit discharge detection and elimination
was developed by reviewing technical documents from NCDENR and USEPA. It was
determined that inspections would need to be coordinated with other City Departments.
From these inspections corrective measures would be initiated and followed up by
designated staff members. It was determined that outreach activities should be
combined with the public education program.
7.3.10. Evaluation: The success of the program will be evaluated on meeting the proposed
deadlines and finding and correcting illicit discharges into the stormsewer system. The
measurable goals for each BMP are listed in the BMP Summary Table.
7.4. Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control
7.4.1 BMP Summary Table: See Appendix B (pg. 25) for the details on the following BMP's.
Rely on existing measures implemented through NCDENR Land Quality Section.

permits)
Page 1 16

7.5. Post -Construction Storm Water Management in New Development and
Redevelopment
7.5.1. BMP Summary Table: See Appendix B (pg. 25) for the details on the following BMPs.
➢ Develop and adopt an ordinance for development and redevelopment of properties
meeting the minimum criteria established by NCDENR.
➢ Establish regulatory controls for ensuring long-term maintenance of on -site structures.
➢ Encourage Low Impact Development and better site design for stormwater control
7.5.2. Non -Structural BMPs: The following non-structural BMPs have been adopted by the
City Council.
➢ The City of Shelby Unified Development Ordinance allows for voluntary open space
set -asides in certain residential and mixed -use zoning districts. If a developer
chooses this option they may be allowed smaller lots sizes.
➢ The City of Shelby Unified Development Ordinance requires all new non-residential
developments to provide on -site landscaping.
7.5.3 Structural BMPs: City staff members will perform technical reviews and compile a list of
post -construction controls for City Council adoption. Strategies will also be developed
for long-term inspection of these controls. Amendments to the City's Development
Ordinance, Code of Ordinances, and Standard Specifications and Details Manual may
be required for post -construction management.
7.5.4. Natural Resource Protection: None at this time.
7.5.5. Open Space Protection: Protected through requirements of Planned Unit Developments
and through the Watershed Overlay Protection District regulations.
7.5.6. Tree Preservation: Required through the zoning process and verified for compliance at
the completion of construction. The Urban Forestry Regulations (Chapter 16 Article IV
of the Code of Ordinances) also addresses the issue of tree preservation.
7.5.7. Redevelopment: None at this time.
7.5.8. Development in areas with Existing Infrastructure: Capital water and sewer plans
and construction projects have been completed in areas with sufficient land to allow for
the installation of the BMPs necessary to reduce the TSS levels to at least the minimum
required levels.
7.5.9. Mixed -Use Development: Mixed -use development is currently allowed in most zoning
districts and specifically in a Planned Unit Development (UDO Section 9-10)
7.5.10. Street Design:
7.5.10.1. Street Design Standards and Engineering Practices: City staff will
review the current street design standards and determine if the width of travel lanes
may be reduced. This review will consider width of the streets under each street
classification individually.
7.5.10.2. Alternative Parking for Residential lots: The City of Shelby Standard
Details currently requires driveway widths to be a minimum of 12 feet and allow a
maximum of 16 feet in width. The City does allow shared driveways on residential lots.
The City currently does not regulate the type of driveway that is required outside of the
Page 1 17

right-of-way. As such, a two -track driveway is acceptable outside of the NCDOT or City
of Shelby right-of-way.
7.5.11. Green Infrastructure Elements and Street Design
7.S.11.1. Green Infrastructure in Construction: City staff will perform technical
reviews on the various green infrastructure practices and incorporate those that are
most feasible into the "City of Shelby Standard Details" by June 30, 2013. These
Standard Details are referenced during both new construction and street improvements
and repairs.
7.5.11.2. Pervious Materials for Paving Surfaces: The City of Shelby will allow
pervious materials for areas being paved if specific criteria are met (vehicular loads,
traffic volumes, soil types, maintenance responsibility, etc.). The guidelines for this will
be determined by City Staff and included in the "City of Shelby Standard Details" update
by June 30, 2013
7.5.12. Reduced Parking Requirements: The City of Shelby will reduce parking requirements
upon submittal or additional pedestrian facilities to City of Shelby Planning Services
Director. These requests are reviewed on a case -by -case basis.
7.5.13. Transportation Demand Management Alternatives: The City of Shelby will review
this topic and where feasible will incorporate this into our development requirements.
Modifications to the applicable ordinances and details will be completed by August 30,
2013.
7.5.14. Minimizing Stormwater from Parking Lots: the City of Shelby Unified Development
Ordinance currently requires landscaping for parking lots. The requirements require that
large maturing trees be planted within 75 feet of each parking space. In large parking
lots, this will lead to the installation of landscaping islands which will help reduce runoff.
7.5.15. Green Infrastructure Practices: Green infrastructure will be included in the "City of
Shelby Standard Details" by June 30, 2013 and will be implemented for development
and redevelopment within our jurisdiction. Developers will be required to submit a
stormwater management plan as part of the site plan review process.
7.5.16. Regulatory Mechanism: The mechanism the City will use to develop post -construction
run-off controls will primarily be based on internal technical reviews and consultations
with other municipalities. City staff members will perform technical reviews of methods
that are proven to meet the required Total Suspended Solid (TSS) removal criteria and
reduced nutrient loading. City staff members will also contact other municipalities that
currently use these controls and evaluate their effectiveness and cost burden. A list of
controls that have been proven to meet the required TSS and nutrient sensitive loading
criteria will be compiled and forwarded to the City Council for adoption June 30, 2013.
7.5.17. Operation and Maintenance: All long-term maintenance activities will be the
responsibility of the property owner or a homeowner's association. City staff members
will be responsible for receiving annual maintenance inspection reports from a qualified
professional. The City will establish a reporting, notification, and enforcement
mechanism for corrective action in its ordinance.
7.5.18. Decision Process: To meet this requirement City staff reviewed current City Ordinances
and determined that revisions were needed to ensure that non-structural and structural
BMP's would meet or exceed State requirements.
Page 1 18

7.5.18.1 Priority Areas: One priority areas in Shelby is property adjoining the Broad
River, which runs through the jurisdiction. The Broad River is the water supply
for the City of Shelby and other municipalities downstream.
7.5.18.2 Specific Concerns: None.
7.5.19. Evaluation: All of the measurable goals require the development and adoption of City
ordinances. Once these revisions have been completed, each measure will be evaluated
for its effectiveness on an annual basis. Included in this evaluation will be an internal
review of record keeping for post -construction controls by the Public Utilities Director or
his designee.
7.6 Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
7.6.1 BMP Summary Table: See Appendix B (pg. 25) for the details on the following BMP's.
Develop training materials on pollution prevention for public facilities, using existing
materials gathered from other organizations or creating new tools as needed. Educate
employees on the need for controls to protect stormwater from exposure to potential
pollutants.
y Provide training for those employees that maintain the drainage system with a focus on
disposal of floatables, grit, sediment, and other pollutants removed from the system.
Provide training to employees that manage and apply chemicals for control of dust, pests, vermin,
and weeds and/or are used to enhance the growth or condition of public urban landscape and
recreation fadlities. Training will target the safe and effective application, storage and disposal of
chemicals used.
Annually inspect vehicle washing and fueling operations to ensure that they are in good
working order and that they minimize exposure of stormwater to chemicals, fuels, and other
liquids.
y Inspect all materials storage facilities to determine priority for reducing exposure to
stormwater.
D Inspect salt storage facility and application equipment annually to identify and eliminate
exposure to stormwater and/or ineffective/inappropriate application. Evaluate current snow
and ice management program and ensure that effective measures are in place to minimize
contamination of stormwater.
Develop standard operating procedures for various facilities and/or operations such as
street sweeping activities and parking lot (garage) maintenance activities to ensure that
the greatest reduction of pollutant loading to stormwater that can be achieved.
Evaluate your procedures for managing trash and garbage collection to ensure that
exposure of contaminant materials is minimized.
y Evaluate spill response program for in-house activities as well as community response and
adjust as needed to ensure highest potential for minimizing impacts on stormwater.
Maintain inventory of hazardous chemicals and other potentially hazardous materials and
ensure that limited but sufficient quantity of items are on band to minimize risk of spill or
contamination of stormwater.
7.6.2 Affected Operations: City staff reviewed the operations listed below and determined that
the wastewater plant and utilities garage required individual permits.

Shelby Vehicle Maintenance Facility: (No -Exposure Certifiate NCGNE0531)
7.6.3 Training: Municipal employee education will be done by holding training sessions for various
City Departments. Particular emphasis will be placed on the Public Works Department and
target street sweeping, chemical application, mowing and clearing activities, and automotive
fluid and chemical disposal. Handouts and posters will also be developed to inform other
City Departments about the stormwater program, how to report violations, and good
housekeeping measures for municipal operations.
7.6.4 Maintenance and Inspections: The Public Works Department provides street sweeping for
all City -maintained streets. The downtown area is swept weekly and the entire City is swept
every three months. The City also maintains trash receptacles in the downtown area, some
city parking lots, and city parks. The City also provides garbage and recycling collection for
all City residents, with weekly collection. The City currently does not have a drainage system
inspection program, but does clean storm sewer piping on an as needed basis. Inspections
occur during rain events as flow is monitored. The City will implement an inspection
program as part of the illicit discharge and detection program.
7.6.5 Vehicular Operations: Street Sweeper is used on an as needed basis to clean all city
maintained parking lots. Salt storage areas are covered under a permanent structure.
7.6.6 Waste Disposal: All waste collected from the storm sewer system is deposited in the
Cleveland County Landfill,
7.6.7 Existing ordinances: City Staff members identified the following ordinances that impact
water quality.
➢ Watershed Protection Overlay District Requlations
Flood Hazard District Overlay Requirements
Urban Forestry Ordinance- Regulates the planting, maintenance, and removal of trees
located on public property.
Solid Waste Ordinance - Littering prohibited on any city street, sidewalk, or public property.
v Nuisance Ordinance - Accumulation of junk, trash, and debris on private property is
prohibited. The nuisance ordinance is enforced by a full-time Code Enforcement Officer,
1- Sewer Services Reporting Requirements - Specifies response procedures and reporting for
sanitary sewer overflows.
Water and Wastewater Treatment Plants- Addresses the multiple aspects of discharges from
these facilities,
7.6.8 Decision Process: The pollution prevention plan was developed by reviewing existing policies
and ordinances that impact water quality. The deficiencies in these policies were noted and
incorporated into the BMP's. Important factors considered were the importance of employee
training, implementing new BMP's, and documenting current practices that impact water
quality.
7.6.9 Evaluation: The measurable goals are to increase the awareness of water quality among all
Page 120

employees and to introduce new BMP's into everyday work activities. The measurable goals
will be evaluated through documenting of daily activities and closer monitoring and reporting
of chemicals that are used on a daily basis.
