This SWMP identifies the specific elements and minimum measures that the Town of Canton 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 NCS000476, 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 Canton and located within the corporate limits of the Town of Canton. In preparing this SWMP, the Town of Canton 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.

The map below shows the corporate limits of Town of Canton as of the date of this document. 3.2 Existing MS4 Mapping The current MS4 mapping includes current mapping and inventory developed by town staff and consultants who have physically located most of the Town's system components. This mapping includes the location of all publicly owned stormwater piping. The map of the existing system will continue to be verified and finalized. The mapping will be updated as new facilities are installed using required submittals to the Planning Board and through regular inspections and maintenance. Table 1: Summary of MS4 Mapping Percent of MS4 Area Mapped 95 % No. of Major Outfalls* Mapped unknown** total NCS000476 SWMP Town of Canton 1/15/2020 Page 3 *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. **Outfalls have been mapped but the classification of specific outfalls as major outfalls has not occurred, therefore, the number of major outfalls is unknown at this time (See BMP No. 14). 3.3 Receiving Waters The Town of Canton MS4 is located within the French Broad River Basin and discharges directly into receiving waters as listed in Table 2 below. The abbreviation "UT" in the following table stands for Unnamed Tributary. Applicable water quality standards listed below are compiled from the following NCDEQ sources: o Waterbody Classification Map o Impaired Waters and TMDL Map o Most recent NCDEQ Final 303 d List Table 2: Summary of MS4 Receiving Waters NCS000476 SWMP Town of Canton 1/15/2020 Page 4 Receiving Water Name Stream Index / AU Number Water Quality Classification 303(d) Listed Parameter(s) of Interest Pigeon River 5-7 C MurrayBranch 5-9 C UT of Pigeon River No DWQ index # C UT of Pigeon River No DWQ index # C Mingus Branch No DWQ index # C UT of Mingus Branch No DWQ index # C UT of Pigeon River No DWQ index # C UT of Pigeon River No DWQ index # C Hominy Creek 6-76 C UT of Hominy Creek No DWQ index # C UT of Hominy Creek No DWQ index # C Dutch Cove 6-76-1 C UT of Hominy Creek No DWQ index # C UT of Hominy Creek No DWQ index # C UT of Hominy Creek No DWQ index # C UT of Hominy Creek No DWQ index # C UT of Pigeon River No DWQ index # C UT of Beaverdam Creek No DWQ index # C Beaverdamn Creek 5-8 C UT of Beaverdam Creek No DWQ index # C UT of Pigeon River No DWQ index # C 3.4 MS4 Interconnection The Town of Canton MS4 is not interconnected with another regulated MS4 and directly discharges to the receiving waters as listed in Table 2 above. 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. Table 3: Summary of Approved TMDLs TMDL Pollutant(s) Stormwater Waste Water Quality Water Body Name of Concern Load Allocation Recovery Program Y/N Y/N Statewide Mercury N N NCS000476 SWMP Town of Canton 1/15/2020 Page 5 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. Table 4: Summary of Federally Listed Species/Habitat Impacted by Surface Water Quality Scientific Name Common name Species Group Federal Listing Status Microhexura montivaga Spruce -fir moss spider M. montivaga E arachnid Alasmidonta raveneliana Appalachian elktoe A. raveneliana E river mussel 3.7 Industrial Facility Discharges The Town of Canton MS4 jurisdictional area includes the following industrial facilities which hold NPDES Industrial Stormwater Permits, as determined from the NCDEQ Active NPDES Stormwater Permit List and/or Active Stormwater Permits Map. Table 5: NPDES Stormwater Permitted Industrial Facilities Permit Number I Facility Name NCS000105 I Blue Ridge Paper Products Inc (Evergreen — Canton Mill Facility) 3.8 Non-Stormwater Discharges The water quality impacts of non-stormwater discharges have been evaluated by the Town of Canton as summarized in Table 6 below. The unpermitted non-stormwater flows listed as incidental do not significantly impact water quality. The Town of Canton 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. Street cleaning is performed with a dry street sweeping process so street washing discharges are not relevant to the MS4. The Division has not required that other non-stormwater flows be specifically controlled by the Town of Canton. 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 NCS000476 SWMP Town of Canton 1/15/2020 Page 6 contain detergents have been evaluated by the Town of Canton to determine whether they may significantly impact water quality. They were determined to be a possible cause of water quality impacts and will be addressed through public education efforts (See BMPs No. 5 and 7). Table 6: Non-Stormwater Discharges Non-Stormwater Discharge Water Quality Impacts Water line and fire hydrant flushing Incidental Landscape irrigation Incidental Diverted stream flows Incidental Rising groundwater Incidental Uncontaminated groundwater infiltration Incidental Uncontaminated pumped groundwater Incidental Uncontaminated potable water sources Incidental Foundation drains Incidental Air conditioning condensate Incidental Irrigation waters Incidental Springs Incidental Water from crawls ace pumps Incidental Footing drains Incidental Lawn watering Incidental Residential and charity car washing Possible Flows from riparian habitats and wetlands Incidental Dechlorinated swimming pool discharges Incidental Street wash water N/A Flows from firefighting activities Incidental 3.9 Target Pollutants and Sources In addition to those target pollutants identified above, the Town of Canton 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 Canton has evaluated schools, homeowners and businesses as target audiences that are likely to have significant stormwater impacts. Schools represent an important target audience as teaching students can provide opportunities for education and community involvement in the process. By beginning this education process early, positive change can occur. Homeowners and business are obvious target audiences because they represent likely sources for non -point pollution. This typically occurs because of a lack of education and recommended management practices.

The budget includes the permit administering and compliance fee, which is billed by the Division annually. The stormwater program currently receives funding of approximately $160,000 per year; this is funded primarily through general funds. This includes a separation of duties between both the Street & Sanitation Department as well as, Water & Sewer however, the Water and Sewer Superintendent position is funded through the Water and Sewer Enterprise fund. This $160,000 includes time spend and hours spent specifically to Stormwater needs and Street Sweeping based on BMP. The program is currently under -funded to conduct all the proactive elements of the permit as it relates to stormwater specific duties and needs. Further fiscal analysis and investigation of funding options (such as additional general fund allocation or a stormwater fee) will be conducted to fully fund the program by Permit year three. 4.3 Shared Responsibility The Town of Canton will share the responsibility to implement the following minimum control measures, which are at least as stringent as the corresponding NPDES MS4 Permit requirement. The Town of Canton remains responsible for compliance if the other entity fails to perform the permit obligation, and may be subject to enforcement action if neither the Town of Canton nor the other entity fully performs the permit obligation. Table 9 below summarizes who will be implementing the component, what the component program is called, the specific SWMP BMP or permit requirement that is being met by the shared responsibility, and whether or not a legal agreement to share responsibility is in place.
