PART 1: INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) is to establish and define the means by which
the Town of China Grove 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 China Grove 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 NCS000515, as issued by NCDEQ. This permit covers activities associated with
the discharge of stormwater from the MS4 as owned and operated by the own of China Grove and
located within the corporate limits of the Town of China Grove.
In preparing this SWMP, the Town of China Grove Pasevaluated its MS4 an ermit requirements to
develop a comprehensive 5-year SWMP that will meet the community's needs, kess 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 containe 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 pe;r

PART 3: MS4 INFORMATION
3.1 Permitted MS4 Area
This SWMP applies throughout the corporate limits of the Town of China Grove, including all regulated
activities associated with the discharge of stormwater from the MS4. The map below shows the corporate
limits of Town of China Grove as of the date of this document.
3.2 Exi ting MS4 Mappi
Storm drainage within the Town of China Grove consists of a broken network of pipes, ditches and open
channels, which were installed at different times by many different entities. The flow of storm water
travels through both public and privately maintained areas, and the level of improvements installed are the
option of the property owner. The overall drainage area is relatively small and is served by three major
creeks and numerous tributary streams. Therefore, the typical drainage path from overland flow to the
outfall is short.
The Town recently inventoried the conveyance system and prepared detailed maps of the entire system
within the Town's municipal boundary limits.
Existing stormwater piping: +24,000 feet of 8" to 48" diameter piping Stormwater inlets: +276 inlets
Outfalls or discharge points: +60 (size from 12" to 60" diameter)
DRAFT NCS000515 SWMP
Town of China Grove
Figure 3 of Appendix A is a location map of all inventoried outfalls within the Town's municipal
boundaries. Appendix M includes detailed system maps showing the location of all inlets, piping and
outfalls.

*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 crest and for industrial zoned
areas a 12-inch diameter pipe or a drainage area > 2-acres.
**Outfalls have been mapped but the classification of the specific ou falls as major outfalls has not
occurred, therefore the number of major outfalls is unknown at thi e (See BW No. 16).
3.3 Receiving Waters Ob6h,
The tributary streams are listed in the order in which they occur beginning at the most downstream point
of the named Creek within the program area and proceeding upstream. The direction of flow of Grants
Creek and Town Creek is from south to north. Cold Water Creek flows from the north to the south. The
"E" and "W" designations indicate that the tributary is located to either the east or the west side of the
main creek. The numerical designation indicates the order of occurrence from the most far point in the
program area downstream to most upstream point in the program area. Figure 2 in Appendix A illustrates
the receiving streams in the program area.

"ANW
The USEPA developed an approach called total aximum daily to MDL) for determining the total
waste (pollutant) loading from point and nonpoint sources that a stream or other water body can
assimilate and maintain its designated uses. With the TMDL approach streams, which do not meet water
quality standards, are identified and the State establishes priorities for actions needed to meet water
quality goals. 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.

3.8 Non-Stormwater Discharges
The water quality impacts of non-stormwater discharges have been evaluated by the Town of China
Grove as summarized in Table 6 below. The unpermitted non-stormwater flows listed as incidental do
not significantly impact water quality. The Town of China Grove 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
China Grove. 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 China Grove to determine
whether they may significantly impact water quality.
