PART 1: INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) is to establish and define the means by which
the Town of Weaverville 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 Weaverville 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 NCS000448 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 Weaverville and
located within the corporate limits of the Town of Weaverville.

In preparing this SWMP, the Town of Weaverville 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.

3.2 MS4 Mapping
The Town of Weaverville has not mapped its MS4 system and proposes to do so as set out in BMP No.
20.

Table 1: Summary of Current MS4 Mapping
Percent of MS4 Area Mapped 0.0 %
No. of Major Outfalls* Mapped 0 total

As it develops its MS4 map, the Town will include all pipes, flow direction, inverts, ditches, inlets, catch
basins, manholes, major outfalls, sizes, condition, etc., in order to conform with permit item 3.4.1 for
specific requirements. It is understood that 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.

3.3 Receiving Waters
The Town of Weaverville MS4 is located within the French Broad River Basin and discharges directly
into receiving waters as listed in Table 2 below. 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

3.4 MS4 Interconnection
The Town of Weaverville 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.

3.8 Non-Stormwater Discharges
The water quality impacts of non-stormwater discharges have been evaluated by the Town of Weaverville
as summarized in Table 6 below. The unpermitted non-stormwater flows listed as incidental do not
significantly impact water quality. The Town of Weaverville has evaluated residential and charity car
washing and street washing for possible significant water quality impacts. The Town performs limited
street washing so street washing discharges are possible and are therefore relevant to the MS4.
The Division has not required that other non-stormwater flows be specifically controlled by the Town of
Weaverville.
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 Weaverville 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.

3.9 Target Pollutants and Sources
In addition to those target pollutants identified above, the Town of Weaverville 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

DRAFT NCS000448 SWMP
Town of Weaverville
March 16, 2021
Page 8

SWMP programs that address the target pollutants. In addition, the Town of Weaverville has evaluated
schools, homeowners and businesses as target audiences that are likely to have significant stormwater
impacts. The schools were selected as a target audience due to the opportunity to affect positive change
through education and involvement opportunities. Homeowners and businesses were identified as target
audiences because they were likely sources of non-point pollution through uninformed management
practices.

4.2 Program Funding and Budget
In accordance with the issued permit, the Town of Weaverville shall maintain adequate funding and
staffing to implement and manage the provisions of the SWMP and comply with the requirements of the
NPDES MS4 Permit. The budget includes the permit administering and compliance fee, which is billed
by the Division annually.
The stormwater activities of the Town are currently included within the general budgets of both the Public
Works Department and Administration and have not been tracked.
The Town recognizes that its stormwater program is currently underfunded to conduct all of the proactive
elements of the permit. As the Town of Weaverville fully develops and implements its stormwater
program, further fiscal analysis and investigation of funding options (such as additional general fund
allocation or a stormwater fee) will be conducted as indicated in BMP No. 1 in order to fully fund the
program by permit year 5.

4.3 Shared Responsibility
The Town of Weaverville 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 Weaverville 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 Weaverville 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.

The Town of Weaverville has relied on Buncombe County to perform both the Construction Site Runoff
and Post-Construction Site Runoff Controls for decades. Documentation of the legal agreements for these
shared responsibilities has not been well maintained or updated in many years and are in need of update
or replacement in order to ensure proper documentation of shared responsibilities and to address any
program deficiencies noted in the self-audits of the Construction Site Runoff Controls and Post-
Construction Site Runoff Controls components (see BMP Nos. 7, 32 and 39).
Land of Sky Regional Council (LOSRC), the North Carolina Council of Government representing the
Town of Weaverville and other surrounding jurisdictions, has recently announced its WNC Stormwater
Partnership Program (see attached flyer). The Town of Weaverville is in the process of contracting with

PART 10: POLLUTION PREVENTION AND GOOD HOUSEKEEPING PROGRAMS
This SWMP provides a comprehensive pollution prevention and good housekeeping strategy for the
Town of Weaverville municipal facilities and operations. Pollution prevention and good housekeeping is
accomplished through the implementation of seven required programs, which collectively address the
ultimate goal of preventing or reducing pollutant runoff from municipal operations such as parks and
open space maintenance, fleet and building maintenance, new construction and land disturbances, and
municipal storm sewer system maintenance.

Pollution prevention and good housekeeping for municipal operations includes the following programs:

1. Municipal Facilities Operation and Maintenance Program
2. Spill Response Program
3. MS4 Operation and Maintenance Program
4. Municipal SCM Operation and Maintenance Program
5. Pesticide, Herbicide and Fertilizer Management Program
6. Vehicle and Equipment Maintenance Program
7. Pavement Management Program

Spill response procedures are currently handled by the Public Works Department. All other components
of the pollution prevention and good housekeeping measures are implemented by the Public Works
Department. The Town already provides limited street cleaning and seasonal leaf collection services to
residents but will begin to quantify and monitor for assessment. The Town of Weaverville will manage,
implement and report the pollution prevention and good housekeeping BMPs as specified in Table 21
below for each required program.
