7.1.2. Target Audience
The City of Conover will target a majority of the community with respect
to Public Education. Households, farmers, businesses and industry, gas station
owners and gardeners are some of the citizen groups targeted. Every member of
the community has been targeted for education, because only with citizen
participation, can we reduce or remove pollution from the stormwater system.
7.1.3 Target Pollutant Sources
Specific pollutants being targeted by Conover's program include soils &
silts, trash, bacteria, yard waste and grease / oils that may intentionally or
inadvertently be discharged into the system. These pollutants are common among
storm water systems located within urban and suburban areas and are impacted by
construction site development. Such pollutants may be reduced or eliminated by
following proper principles in the disposal, transportation, use and containment
of the components.
7.1.4 Outreach Program
For the past several years Conover has provided Public Education through
these efforts:
® Use of local government cable channel
® Use of Conover Neighbors newsletter to all utility customers
® Development and distribution of educational handouts to residents
® Display of posters and storm water information at various public functions
such as National Night Out, Earth Day, Catawba River feat, Conover Farmers
Market.
® Storm water related brochures placed in public areas and local vet
offices.
We plan to continue those practices and expand efforts by further
development of our web site, partner with the local storm water working group in
offering additional educational programs to local schools / civic organizations
and working with developers and contractors to develop and implement procedures
to address construction run-off.
7.1.5 Decision Process
The City of Conover feels that the practices currently used and those
proposed blend well with our community efforts to keep the public informed on
all issues. Efforts such as these have been successful for our community.
Expanding on current practices will help keep the cost of the program down for
our residents.
7.1.6 Evaluation
The Public Education Program will be evaluated every year by referencing
the suggested BMP's and reporting any activity in the annual report to the
State. By tracking the number of publications produced, and comparing the amount
of information provided to the public through mailers, brochures and web hits, a
count of citizens reached can be calculated.

local businesses and industries are just a few of the groups targeted. Every
member of the community has been targeted for involvement, because only with
citizen participation, can we reduce or remove pollution from the stormwater
system.
11

7.2.3 Participation Program
The City of Conover realizes the importance of public involvement in the
overall success of the stormwater Management Plan. A citizen's stormwater
Advisory Board has been established to hear items related to stormwater, provide
a public contact and venue for stormwater issues, and offer recommendations to
the City Council.
Continue to make available storm drain stenciling materials for local
volunteer groups who are interested in civic projects or raising water quality
awareness. Continue to involve local scouts who have participated in past years
in stenciling drains, as well as public postings for stenciling opportunities.
Promote public involvement in local litter pick up campaigns such as the
existing Keep Catawba County Beautiful program. Encourage citizen participation
at biannual hazardous household waste disposal days. Continue the successful
curbside and specialty drive to recycling programs.
7.2.4. Decision Process
The City of Conover is going to develop the public involvement and
participation program using the BMP's suggested. These measures were decided
upon because they involve not only the general public, but give groups who are
interested in water quality and the environment the opportunity to participate
in programs and contribute. Since developers will install storm drains as part
of stormwater infrastructure, we will require that the drains castings contain a
"drains to stream" message.
7.2.5 Evaluation
The success of this measure will be evaluated by determining if the BMP's
listed above have been accomplished and reporting accomplishments annually to
the State.

infrastructure provided by GPS technology. Parcel
Of a digital GIS base map with
and topographical data are also supplied to provide a map that can be used to
identify locations of drainage ways and outfalls within the City of Conover. Our
der system, which gives us the
GIS Mapping is also linked to our citywide work or
ability to schedule and track activities needed and performed along the system.
13

As a provision of our Regional GIS Consortium arrangement, the county updates
the GIS base mapping layers. The Map is to be kept current through coordination
of the Public Works Department and GIS Department. Stormwater mapping will be
available on the City computer network. Conover Staff members will provide hard
copy maps upon request and a copy will be available for Public inspection at the
Public Works Facility located at 939 4� Street Southwest.
7.3.3. Regulatory Mechanism
The regulatory mechanism used will be the Phase II Stormwater Ordinance
and the City's Code of ordinances. Key components of the Phase II Stormwater
Ordinance are the right to inspect for illicit discharges on private property
and the requirement for the elimination at the source of any illicit discharges
that are discovered.
'7,3.4. Enforcement Actions
The enforcement of the illicit discharge section of the Phase II
Stormwater ordinance will be the responsibility of the City's Code Enforcement
Division of the Planning Department. Primarily, the Phase II Stormwater
Ordinance prohibits illicit discharges into the MS4. The ordinance also
establishes the right to inspect for illicit discharges on private property.
The requirement for the elimination of illicit discharges at the source is also
established by the ordinance. Illicit discharges are considered a public
nuisance per the City's adopted Phase II Ordinance and shall be abated in
accordance with the procedures set forth in Chapter 12-Health and Sanitation
Nuisances of the Conover Code of Ordinances.
7.3.5. Detection and Elimination
The City will develop a plan to detect and address illicit (non -storm
water) discharges including illegal dumping into the system (MS4). The plan will
be designed to meet the following criteria:
® Locate problem areas - Methods may include public complaint, visual
inspections and sampling, inspection by public works personnel
e Find the source - Methods may include dye test / smoke test, upstream
tracing or septic system and commercial / industrial building inspections.
® Remove / Correct Illicit Connections - Once the source is identified, the
offending discharger will be notified to correct the problem. Working with
and educating first offenders will be a common course of action when
applicable.
a Documentation of actions - Documentation will performed to illustrate
to eliminate illicitit connections and
that progress is being made
discharges. Information may include number of outfalls screened,
complaints screened and corrected, number of discharges detected and / or
eliminated and number / type of tests performed.
Field personnel will receive periodic training on how to identify illicit
discharges to the MS4, and if necessary, track them to locate the source
of the illicit discharge. When dry weather flows are discovered, the
field personnel may report the dry weather flows so that they can be
investigated by Code Enforcement.

The outreach program is based upon reaching the majority of the general
public and the various businesses that operate within the City limits. The
gram, the public involvement and participation
public education and outreach pro
h
program, and the pollution prevention and good housekeeping program will all be
part of a coordinated effort. Informing the general public, various businesses,
and municipal employees o£ the importance of the hazards associated with illicit
discharges and improper disposal of waste will be an integral part of all three
of these minimum measures. The strategies used in the public education and
public involvement minimum measures will be supplemented by employee training
and other aspects of the good housekeeping minimum measure.
7,3,g, Decision Process
The approach being utilized takes into consideration existing programs
water need. Using Staff currently
that can be tailored to also address the Storm
involved in inspection of wastewater sewers and performing the GPS of new
infrastructure will broaden our Staff awareness and involvement in stormwater
activities. BMPs and Goals were considered based upon our ability to initiate
and gain benefit from those actions.

7.5.2. Non -Structural BMP'a
The City will promote Prevention Measures (non-structural BMPs) as our
first line of defense against runoff problems. Proper planning and zoning, which
guides high impact growth away from sensitive areas, will be considered to
Site based controls that include buffer strips; riparian
protect water quality,
zone preservation and designation of open space are also common practices that
will be used. The preservation of open space and natural features is encouraged
throughout the code. Intensity, dimensional, and design standards contain
provisions to encourage landscaping and tree plantings. The application of
these provisions ranges from residential subdivisions to perimeter buffers and
screenings to interior parking lot landscaping. There are also provisions to
set aside areas for recreation and open space. Special purpose districts are
also used to comply with the watershed and buffer regulations. All of these
provisions combined have the effect of reducing impervious surface area.
7.5.3. Structural BMP's
Engineered stormwater BMPs are currently required by the City of Conover's
Phase II Stormwater Ordinance which is in effect for the entire City and ETJ, as
well as the Conover Zoning Ordinance portion in the Watershed Protection Overlay
District (Water Supply Watershed). The Storm Water Best Management Practices
Manual published by the NCDENR, DWQ is used as a guideline for the requirements
for all engineered stormwater BMPs. The more restrictive provisions of the
various regulations govern where they overlap.
7.5.4 Regulatory Mechanism
The regulatory mechanism used will be the City's Code of Ordinances. The
Phase II stormwater Ordinance and the City of Conover's Zoning Ordinance both

7.5.5 Operation and Maintenance
The long-term operation and maintenance of the stormwater control structure
BMPs will be assured by operation and maintenance agreements recorded with the
Catawba County Register of Deeds. The financial security of the agreement will
be assured by the posting of adequate financial instruments for the purpose of
the maintenance, repairs, or reconstruction necessary for adequate performance
of the storm- water control structures. An operation and maintenance plan shall
be provided that is consistent with the recorded operation and maintenance
agreement. Annual inspections of the stormwater controls must be conducted by a
qualified professional. A copy of the annual inspection report must be
furnished to the City's Planning Department.
The City will coordinate oversight for on -site wastewater treatment systems
with the Catawba County Environmental Health Department.
7.5.6. Decision Process
The City's plan of action includes measures that utilize City / State
requirements for site runoff controls. The first step in the decision process
was to compare all of the current stormwater regulations that apply within the
City limits and ETJ. These various regulations were reviewed to determine which

provisions are more restrictive, so that the more restrictive regulations can be
applied where they Overlap.

7,6,5, Vehicular Operations
Vehicular operations contribute pollutants that are commonly removed from
municipal parking lots and streets by sweeping operations. Vehicle maintenance
activities typically take place indoors. The majority of municipal vehicles and
equipment parked overnight at the public services complex have covered
parking/storage areas, Since this is the same complex where vehicle maintenance
operations take place, the covered storage and maintenance areas reduce the
pollutants discharged into the storm drainage system. Vehicle fluids are
