PART 1: INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) is to establish and define the means by which
the Town of Kure Beach will comply with its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit and the applicable provisions of the Clean Water
Act to meet the federal standard of reducing pollutants in stormwater runoff to the maximum extent
practicable.

This SWMP identifies the specific elements and minimum measures that the Town of Kure Beach will
develop, implement, enforce, evaluate and report to the North Carolina Department of Environmental
Quality (NCDEQ) Division of Energy, Minerals and Land Resources (DEMLR) in order to comply with
the MS4 Permit number NCS000499, as issued by NCDEQ. This permit covers activities associated with
the discharge of stormwater from the MS4 as owned and operated by the Town of Kure Beach and
located within the corporate limits of the Town of Kure Beach.

In preparing this SWMP, the Town of Kure Beach has evaluated its MS4 and the permit requirements to
develop a comprehensive 5-year SWMP that will meet the community’s needs, address local water
quality issues and provide the minimum measures necessary to comply with the permit. The SWMP will
be evaluated and updated annually to ensure that the elements and minimum measures it contains
continue to adequately provide for permit compliance and the community’s needs.

Once the SWMP is approved by NCDEQ, all provisions contained and referenced in this SWMP, along
with any approved modifications of the SWMP, are incorporated by reference into the permit and become
enforceable parts of the permit.

PART 3: MS4 INFORMATION

3.1 Permitted MS4 Area
This SWMP applies throughout the corporate limits of the Town of Kure Beach, including all regulated
activities associated with the discharge of stormwater from the MS4. The map below shows the corporate
limits of the Town of Kure Beach as of the date of this document.

3.2 Existing MS4 Mapping
The current MS4 mapping includes the ditches, swales, underground stormwater pipes, town managed
outfalls and privately owned stormwater ponds within the town boundaries of the town. The link to the
detailed GIS map is below. The basic hydrography of the town results in stormwater having two main
stormwater drainage basins. The first of these is defined by the ridge of the frontal dune. This ridge
bisects the Town. All the rain which falls to the east of the frontal dune drains to the Atlantic Ocean. All
the rain which falls to the west of the frontal dune, except for that rainwater which is caught in one of the
18 sub-basins which are also, because of the storm drains, a part of the eastern drainage basin, drains to
the Cape Fear River. The rain which falls outside of the 18 sub-basins behind the frontal dune is either
filtered by the area known as the “buffer zone” or the MOTSU property, before reaching the Cape Fear
River or it is filtered by the soil as it trickles down into the aquifer.

Table 1: Summary of MS4 Mapping
Percent of MS4 Area Mapped 75 %
No. of Major Outfalls* Mapped 13 total

*An outfall is a point where the MS4 discharges from a pipe or other conveyance (e.g. a ditch) directly
into surface waters. Major outfalls are required to be mapped to meet permit requirements. A major
outfall is a 36-inch diameter pipe or discharge from a drainage area > 50-acres; and for industrial zoned
areas a 12-inch diameter pipe or a drainage area > 2-acres.
* All major outfalls draining to the ocean are included on the town’s mapping. Four outfalls (Henneker’s
ditch, K Avenue, H Avenue, Davis Road) discharging to the Cape Fear River need to be added to the GIS
mapping. GIS information has been obtained but has not been added yet.

3.3 Receiving Waters
The Town of Kure Beach’s MS4 lies between the Atlantic Ocean and the Cape Fear River. The Town
drains from its highest elevation into both the Atlantic Ocean, which is classified SB, and the Cape Fear
River, which is classified SC waters.

Cape Fear River 18- (71) SC

3.4 MS4 Interconnection
The MS4 is interconnected with the Town of Carolina Beach at Henneker’s Ditch where waters co-
mingle before discharge to the Cape Fear River.
3.5 Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs)
The TMDL(s) listed in Table 3 below have been approved within the MS4 area, as determined by
the map and list provided on the NCDEQ Modeling & Assessment Unit web page. The table also
indicates whether the approved TMDL has a specific stormwater Waste Load Allocation (WLA)
for any watershed directly receiving discharges from the permitted MS4, and whether a Water
Quality Recovery Program has been implemented to address the WLA.

The Statewide TMDL for Mercury does not require any actions by the NPDES stormwater
permittees because most mercury in stormwater comes from atmospheric deposition.

3.6 Endangered and Threatened Species and Critical Habitat
Significant populations of threatened or endangered species and/or critical habitat are identified within the
regulated MS4 urbanized area, as determined by a review of the Endangered and Threatened Species and
Species of Concern by County for North Carolina Map and Listed species believe to or known to occur in
North Carolina map as provided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Of those species listed, Table 4
summarizes the species that may be significantly impacted by the quality of surface waters within their
habitat.

3.7 Industrial Facility Discharges
The Town of Kure Beach MS4 jurisdictional area includes no industrial facilities which hold NPDES
Industrial Stormwater Permits, as determined from the NCDEQ Active NPDES Stormwater Permit List
and/or Active Stormwater Permits Map.

3.8 Non-Stormwater Discharges
The water quality impacts of non-stormwater discharges have been evaluated by the Town of Kure Beach
as summarized in Table 6 below. The unpermitted non-stormwater flows listed as incidental do not
significantly impact water quality. The Town of Kure Beach has evaluated residential and charity car
washing and street washing for possible significant water quality impacts.

Street washing discharges are addressed under the Pavement Management Program in Part 10 of this
SWMP. The Division has not required that other non-stormwater flows be specifically controlled by the
Town of Kure Beach.

Wash water associated with car washing that does not contain detergents or does not discharge directly
into the MS4 is considered incidental. However, these types of non-stormwater discharges that do
contain detergents have been evaluated by the Town of Kure Beach to determine whether they may
Draft NCS000499 SWMP

significantly impact water quality. As they are possible sources of water quality impact, they are
addressed through public education (see BMP 1, Only Rain Down the Drain).

3.9 Target Pollutants and Sources
In addition to those target pollutants identified above, the Town of Kure Beach is not aware of other
significant water quality issues within the permitted MS4 area.

Table 7 below summarizes the water quality pollutants identified throughout Part 3 of this SWMP, the
likely activities/sources/targeted audiences attributed to each pollutant and identifies the associated
SWMP program(s) that address each. In addition, the Town of Kure Beach has evaluated homeowners
and businesses as target audiences that are likely to have significant stormwater impacts.

PART 9: POST-CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL PROGRAM
This SWMP identifies the minimum elements to develop, implement and enforce a program to address
stormwater runoff from new development and redevelopment projects that disturb greater than or equal to
one acre, including projects less than one acre that are part of a larger common plan of development or
sale, that are located within the Town of Kure Beach and discharge into the MS4. These elements are
designed to minimize water quality impacts utilizing a combination of structural Stormwater Control
Measures (SCMs) and/or non-structural BMPs appropriate for the community, and ensure adequate long-
term operation and maintenance of SCMs.

In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0153 and .1017, the Town of Kure Beach implements the following
State post-construction program requirements, which satisfy the NPDES Phase II MS4 post-construction
site runoff control requirements as Qualifying Alternative Programs (QAPs) in the MS4 area(s) where
they are implemented.
