NARRATIVE APPLICATION SUPPLEMENT:
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM REPORT
1. STORM SEWER SYSTEM INFORMATION
1.1 Population Served:
The permanent population for the Town of Holly Springs in 2015 is
estimated to be approximately 31,391 per the Town of Holly Springs
population estimates. The Town's population estimates are prepared
annually to determine the estimated July 1 population number. The estimate
is determined by multiplying the total number of single-family and townhome
certificates of occupancy issued during the past year by 3.05
persons/dwelling unit and multi -family certificates of occupancy by 2.68
persons/dwelling unit. This number is then added to the previous year's
estimated population. Every 10 years, the Town's population estimates are
updated by utilizing the official US Census Decennial Population Number and
the persons/dwelling unit are also updated to reflect the most current
numbers established by the official census count.
1.2 Growth Rate:
The growth rate for the service area is calculated based on the simple
analysis of the relative change between the US Census population in 1990
and 2000 stated as a percent change, annualized by dividing the percent
change by 10 yields a growth rate of 79.77% for 1990-2000 and 26.83% for
2000-2010. 1990 census population was 1,024; 2000 census population was
9,192. Total percentage increase for the 10-year period was 797.7%. 2010
census population was 24,661. Total percentage increase for the 10-year
period was 268.3%.
1.3 Jurisdictional and MS4 Service Areas:
The jurisdictional area is approximately 22.21 square miles, including city
limits and the Town's ETJ. The MS4 service area is approximately 16.63
square miles.
1.4 MS4 Conveyance System:
Town of Holly Springs, North Carolina 2016
NPI]ES Phase 11 Stormwater Permit Application — Permit NC50000495 1 of 39
Downtown Holly Springs lies on the watershed divide between two major
river basins: Middle Creek and its tributaries (Basal Creek and Rocky Branch)
in the Neuse River basin, drain the eastern one-fourth of the Holly Springs
planning area. Buckhorn Creek and its tributaries (Little White Oak Creek,
White Oak Creek, Big Branch, Little Branch, Utley Creek, Norris Branch, Cary
Branch and Jim Branch) in the Cape Fear River basin, drain the western
three -fourths of the planning area. NC-55 north of Holly Springs and SR 1115
and SR 1101 south of Town lie along the watershed divide between these
two river basins. Stormwater is collected via open swales and ditches, curb
and gutter or yard inlets to a closed system of pipes with flared end sections.
Some flared end sections outlet into Stormwater Control Measures (SCMs),
such as level spreaders, bioretention areas or riparian buffers. A
predominant amount of the streams in the Neuse River Basin flow through
Bass Lake and/or Sunset Lake, prior to leaving the Town's service area. Most
streams in the Cape Fear River Basin drain into Harris Lake prior to reaching
the Cape Fear River.
The Town regulates all stormwater collection system design and
construction. The Town maintains all stormwater systems on Town property
and within its street rights -of -ways. The Public Works Department maintains
these areas as needed to keep inlets clear of debris. Stormwater systems
within the State's right-of-way are maintained by the North Carolina
Department of Transportation. Systems on private property or private
drainage easements are solely the landowner's responsibility. The Town may
take corrective action on these systems when improper causes an emergency
situation; the property owner may then be subsequently billed for these
activities. Proper maintenance includes insuring that outfalls are free from
pollutants and obstructions, and securely in accordance with local, state, and
federal regulations.

Town of Holly Springs, North Carolina 2016
NPDES Phase II Stormwater Permit Application — Permit NCS0000495 2 of 39
For this project, the existing land use inventory was determined using GIS
data based upon the Town of Holly Springs Certified Zoning Map for parcels
within the Town Corporate Limits and Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ), as
well as approved preliminary site and development plans.
Residential classification is based upon the existing subdivision, subdivisions
currently under construction and land currently zoned residential that includes
farm land in the EI"J. Commercial classification is based on existing
commercial property including parcels with approved development plans.
Industrial classification includes existing industrial properties, landfills and
quarries. Open space classification is a combination of schools, parks,
cemeteries Homeowner Owner Association lands that will remain
undeveloped and land reserved for future parks. The remainder of the open
space classification are undeveloped properties.
1.7 TMDL Identification:
NC DENR has developed a TMDL for addressing impaired biological integrity in
the headwaters of the Swift Creek Watershed. The Town of Holly Springs drains
into Middle Creek, near its confluence with Swift Creek East of NC 210 in
Johnston County. Holly Springs is not tributary to the TMDL in the Swift Creek
Watershed. The NC Division of Water Quality's TMDL website states that NC
DENR is developing a TMDL for the Middle Cape Fear for the pollutant
Chlorophyll a. It has not been determined how this TMDL will affect Holly
Springs.

7 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
To protect water quality the Town of Holly Springs will develop, implement,
and enforce a stormwater management program (SWMP) designed to reduce the
discharge of pollutants from Holly Springs to the maximum extent practicable
(MEP) and to satisfy the appropriate water quality requirements of the Clean
Water Act.
7.1 Public Education and Outreach on Stormwater Impacts
7.1.1 SMP Summary Table: Appendix A
7.1.2 Target Pollutant Sources: The primary targets will
include sediment, nitrogen, fecal coliform all have
negative impacts to water quality as a result of
increased runoff from development pollutant and
debris transport, and stream bank erosion and
flooding. Other pollutants targeted will be disposal of
hazardous products and application of pesticides.
7.1.3 Target Audience: The target audiences for our
education program are those likely to have significant
stormwater impacts. These include: commercial,
industrial, residential development, schools located
within the Town's service area (three elementary, two
middle schools, one charter high school, and one high
school), residents of the Town of Holly Springs, and
Town staff.
Town of Holly Springs, North Carolina 2016
NPDES Phase II Stormwater Permit Application — Permit NCS0000495 15 of 39
7.1.4 Outreach Program: The Town will continue
implementation of our outreach strategy will include
methods such as social media, printed brochures,
newspapers, water bill and "The Springs" the Town's
e-newsletter, stormwater information library, booths
at local Town events, Town website, Town TV
channel, preconstruction and informational workshops
and other mass media to reach our target audiences.
We expect to reach the bulk of our population as well
as developers and others who do not reside within
the limits of the Town. The above methods of
outreach will provide individuals and households
about the steps they can take to reduce stormwater
pollution by promoting environmentally conscious
daily activities such as, yard and vehicle maintenance
activities to reduce loss of pollutants into the
stormwater system. We also plan to inform
individuals and groups on how to become involved in
the stormwater program with the tools listed above
and the development of workshops and coordination
with local businesses and existing "adopt a stream"
programs.
The Town will develop a Communications & Involvement Plan, to
more efficiently utilize existing resources that the town has to convey
stormwater information to our target audience and focus on citizen's
involvement and education. This plan will be submitted to the Town
Council for approval via a Public Hearing and be open for public
comments.
7.1.5 Evaluation: Evaluation of the program will be made
annually and recommended changes will be made
accordingly.

7.2 Public Involvement and Participation
7.2.1 BMP Summary Table: Appendix A
7.2.2 Tar et Audience: The target audiences for our public
involvement program will be focused on all residents
and stakeholders in the community. Information and
programs will be designed to accommodate all
ethnicities, economic groups, and people with varying
abilities. We will actively involve all potentially
affected stakeholder groups, including commercial
and industrial businesses, trade associations,
environmental groups, homeowners associations, and
educational organizations among others.
7.2.3 Participation Programs: All stormwater management
program documents will be available for public
viewing. Staff will make a
Council and the general
content of the permit, anc
accepted.
presentation to the Town
public summarizing the
public comments will be
An education and outreach program will be implemented to engage
all economic and ethnic groups and provide opportunities for the
public to participate in program development and implementation.
We plan to incorporate the following BMPs (with measurable goals)
as outlined in the BMP and Measurable Goals Table located in
Appendix A, including but not limited to, citizen representatives on
regional and local stormwater management committees, public
hearings for new ordinances and management plans, working with
citizen volunteers willing to educate others about the program, and
continue administration or coordination with existing "adopt a
stream", Big Sweep and mini -sweeps, Storm Drain Marker Program,
Dog Waste Signage Program and as other opportunities for public
participation arise.
The Town will develop a Communications & Involvement Plan
which will focus on citizen involvement and education. This plan will
be submitted to the Town Council for approval via a Public Hearing
and be open for public comments.
7.2.4 Evaluation: Evaluation of the program will be made
annually and recommended changes will be made
accordingly.

7.3 Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
7.3.1 BMP Summary Table: Appendix A
7.3.2 Storm Sewer System Man: The Town will maintain a
storm sewer map showing outfall locations and
stormwater drainage system components. The Town
currently has GIS layers of stormwater pipes, inlets
and existing structural post -construction stormwater
BMPs contained within the MS4. Other GIS layers
that have been created for stormwater management
purposes include the Town's Stream Protection Plan
showing both state and town regulated stream
buffers, Floodplain and drainage area maps,
containing Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) floodplain and Town regulated floodplain.
New infrastructure will be updated with as -built
information provided by developers, and field
verification of the outfall locations. This information
will be compiled through the development inspection
process, field inspections, and incorporating it into our
GIS/GPS utility mapping program. GIS layers for the
maps will be reviewed annually and updated as
needed when program needs arise. This map will be
created and maintained within the Town of Holly
Springs Department of Engineering.
7.3.3 Re ulato Mechanism: The Town will continue legal
authority to regulate Illicit Discharges and Illegal
Connections through the Town's NPDES Phase II
Stormwater Illicit Discharge Detection & Elimination
Regulations, Chapter 8, Article IV of the Holly Springs
Code of Ordinances, Attachment 2.
Town of Holly Springs, North Carolina 2016
NPDES Phase II Stormwater Permit Application — Permit NCS0000495 19 of 39
7.3.4 Enforcement: The Town will ensure appropriate
enforcement procedures and actions implementing
our Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
Regulations by maintaining a section of our
Environmental Tracking Spreadsheet which lists the
date and types of violation, enforcement actions,
penalty assessments and other pertinent information.
Annually or as needed this document will be reviewed
to determine if updated to forms, policies, procedures
or regulations are required.
Town of Holly Springs, North Carolina 2016
NPDES Phase II Stormwater Permit Application — Permit NCS0000495 20 of 39
7.3.5 Detection and Elimination: The town has developed a
form for staff and citizens to report an illicit discharge
and provide basic information for stormwater staff to
inspect and enforce as required. Staff has been
trained to detect illicit discharges during I&I
inspections and during their routine activities around
town. The staff will be expanding this training to
cover all departments including office staff that does
not work out in the field.
Priority areas include stormwater outfalls that are adjacent a
sanitary sewer outfall, on -site wastewater facilities or a business or
industry that could have the potential for illicit discharges. Staff plans
to incorporate these areas on a GIS layer of the existing GIS Storm
drainage map and develop an inspection schedule to monitory areas
that are more probable to have an illicit discharge.
Procedures for tracing the source of an illicit discharge, including
the specific techniques used to detect the location of the source of an
illicit discharge will be found through techniques such as citizen
complaints and staff dry weather inspections. As required, samples
will be collected will then be tested either by either the Town's lab or
an independent lab depending on the pollutant and party responsibly
for the testing.
Procedures for removing the source of the illicit discharge will be
determined by the type of discharge. Areas where an illicit discharge
or connection is found by the Town's inspector one of the
enforcement requirements will be for the person(s) in violation to
clean up or remove the illicit discharge or connection. If the Town or
a contractor for the Town performs actions to remove the source the
person(s) will be charged in addition to any civil penalties assessed
for the violation. In areas where the person responsible for the illicit
discharge is unknown the town with coordination between the fire
Department, the City of Raleigh who is currently contracted to remove
Hazardous Materials and the Public Works Department. In areas
where an illicit discharge is the result of a sanitary sewer overflow,
Public Works and Public Utility department processes are followed for
testing removal and reporting of the spill.
7.3.6 Outreach: The Town will provide educational
materials

7.3.7 Staff Trainin : The Town has developed a training
mechanism for Town staff in the form of biennial
training events, as well as onsite facility training
performed during Good Housekeeping and Pollution
Prevention inspections of Town -operated facilities.
7.3.8 Evaluation: Town will annually evaluate the data
obtained and the effectiveness of the programs to
detect and eliminate illicit discharges.

outreach plan. The good housekeeping component
also trains Town staff in identifying and eliminating
illicit connections and discharges.
7.3.12 Staff Training: Staff training occurs on an as needed
basis to based on staff duties and projects that may
involve the possibility of identifying and illicit
discharge such as our sanitary sewer outfall
maintenance crew. The Town is developing
information to be provided to all Town staff to be able
to identify an illicit discharge and report to the
appropriate stormwater staff for follow up and
enforcement.

7.4 Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control
7.4.1 BMP Summary Table: Appendix A
7.4.2 Regulatory Mechanism: The Town has an existing Sedimentation
and Erosion Control, Stream and Wetlands Protection Land
Disturbance Ordinance in place since November 1, 2000. Chapter 8,
Article II of the Holly Springs Code of Ordinances, Attachment 2.
We have established requirements for construction site operators to
implement appropriate erosion and sediment control best
management practices via ordinances, construction standards and
mandatory pre -construction conference which includes an
environmental education section, Certificate of Compliance
inspection, will verify that the measures are installed as per the
approved plan.
The Town will enforce requirements for construction site operators
to control waste such as discarded building materials, concrete truck
washout, chemicals, litter, and sanitary waste at the construction site
that may cause adverse impacts to water quality by enforcement of
our Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Regulations, Chapter
8, Article IV of the Holly Springs Code of Ordinances, Attachment 2.
Contractors will be informed of these regulations through pre -
construction conference as well as local and regional contractor
training programs.
Toum of Holly Springs, North Carolina 2016
NPDES Phase II Stormwater Permit Application — Permit NC50000495 25 of 39
7.4.3 Plan Reviews: All development plans that have at
least 20,000 square feet of disturbed area are
reviewed for erosion and sedimentation control
measures. Developers, or their consultants, submit
an application identifying the Financially Responsible
Party (FRP) and other pertinent project information,
and pay associated fees for erosion control plan
review with the first plan submittal. The plan is
reviewed in the Construction Drawing review cycle,
which includes a two week plan review turn around
with comments issued at the end of the two week
period. The plans are reviewed with the use of a
erosion control plan review checklist which outlines
standards that should appear on every erosion control
plan and assist in the identification of problem areas.
Erosion control devices from the clearing and
grubbing stages of the project through the final
grading are reviewed at this time. Potential water
quality impacts are looked at during the plan review
such as encroachment into floodplains, wetlands and
riparian buffers. Staff requires the developer to
provide information that the applicable permits
associated with impacts to these areas have been
obtained prior to the issuance of a Land Disturbance
Permit. Once the plan is approved, or approved with
conditions, a pre -construction meeting is held to go
over site specific concerns, the Town's ordinance,
inspection, and enforcement procedures, as well as
site specific critical areas that need to be protected
throughout construction. The Town also provides a
copy of the NCG1000 NPDES Construction Permit with
the Erosion Control Plan Approval at the pre -
construction meeting.
Town of Molly Springs, North Carolina 2016
NPDES Phase II 5tormwater Permit Application — Permit NC50000495 26 of 39
7.4.4 Enforcement: Once a Land Disturbance Permit is
issued a Certificate of Compliance must be issued
prior to starting clearing, grubbing and construction
(installation of storm drainage water and sewer, curb
& gutter etc.). If the site is in excess of 20,000
square feet of disturbed area and has not obtained
Erosion Control Plan approval, Land Disturbance
Permit, or Certificate of Compliance prior to clearing
and grubbing, a Notice of Violation is issued. If a site
is not in compliance at any time through the
construction process, a Notice of Violation can be
issued. This violation can be issued at the time of the
violation or for not meeting compliance dates set
forth in sedimentation inspection reports. Fines can
be accessed up to $5,000 for the initial violation and
each day the site is not in compliance with the
ordinance. The Town also has the ability to hold
building permits, inspections, and Certificates of
Occupancy to assist in the enforcement of its
ordinance. The ordinance also allows for criminal
penalties for noncompliance. Projects disturbing less
than 20,000 square feet are required to provide
erosion control measures to keep sediment from
leaving their site or entering watercourses on the
tract. If a site is found to be not in compliance with
the ordinance, the Town will also seek corrective
actions to bring the site back into compliance and
assess penalties as needed. A copy of all Notice of
Violations is forwarded to the NC Division of Water
Quality, Raleigh Regional Office which then can be
used for their enforcement of NCG10000 Permit for
the project.
Town of Holly Springs, North Carolina 2016
NPDES Phase II 5tormwater Permit Application — Permit NCS0000495 27 of 39
7.4.5 Inspections, Site inspections are made on a regular
basis (multiple times in a one month period) for all
sites that have an open Land Disturbance Permit or
Building Permit. The Town's Environmental Specialist
and Development Inspectors provide erosion and
sedimentation control inspections for these sites.
Inspection reports are written primarily by the
Development Inspector for sites with open Land
Disturbances Permits and Building Permits.
Inspection reports list general site information such as
project name and phase, location, weather, date, and
FRP. It also includes if the site is under Notice of
Violation, if it is compliance with the ordinance, what
items are not in compliance, corrective actions
needed, and specified timeframe for repairs. Upon
the receipt of Citizen Complaints for possible
violations of the Town's ordinance, the Devlopment
Inspector, or other trained engineering department
staff, investigate the complaint, make field
inspections, and provide necessary enforcement
actions to resolve the violation and bring it into
compliance. These complaints are logged on the
citizen complain log and used to evaluate the
program.
Town of Holly Springs, North Carolina 2016
NPDES Phase II Stormwater Permit Application — Permit NCS0000495 28 of 39
7.4.6 Public Information. Revisions to the ordinance are
made through the Town's Public Hearing process.
Education is directed specifically to various different
stakeholders: design consultants, developers, home
builders, contractors, residents, and Town staff. This
information will be summarized in the
Communications Plan. Currently the Town provides
education to the stakeholders mentioned above by
using various media. Regional Contractor training
with coordination of other local Erosion &
Sedimentation Control Programs, NC DENR Land
Quality Section, and provides education to the
developers onsite during field inspections, during pre -
construction meetings, with brochures and newspaper
articles. Education for residents has been targeted
with brochure information available at Town Hall, the
Environmental booth at festivals and events, the
Town website, newsletters and through local
newspaper. Any changes of the construction site
stormwater runoff control program will include public
involvement at minimum by holding a Public Hearing
for ordinance revisions.
7.4.7 Evaluation: Monthly reports are made listing the
amount of plans reviewed, plans approved, Land
Disturbance Permits issued, Citizen Complaints,
inspections and Notices of Violation. This information
is then compiled in the Engineering Departments
quarterly report. The use of this information Staff will
review this information and make changes to the
policies and procedures to ensure an effective
program. The Town staff will also keep up to date of
changes to the States Sedimentation and Erosion
Control regulations and will revise the ordinance to be
at least as restrictive as the states rules.

7.5 Post -Construction Stormwater Management in New
Development and Redevelopment
7.5.1. BMP Summary Table
7.5.2. Regulatory Mechanism: The Town will continue legal authority to
regulate Post -Construction Stormwater Management in new and
redevelopment through the Town's NPDES Phase II Post -
construction Stormwater regulations, Chapter 8, Article V of the
Holly Springs Code of Ordinances, Attachment 2. This program
ensures that all projects that disturb 20,000 square feet of
disturbed area obtain Stormwater Management Plan approval.
Town's existing post -construction stormwater plan review
processes which includes three stages, 1. Concept Stage: Scoping
Meeting and Concept Plan Review Meetings, Preliminary Plan
Review & Approval. 2. Construction Stage: Construction Drawing &
Environmental Plan Review, Environmental Development Approval
including the erosion control, floodplain development and post -
construction stormwater plan approvals, Performance sureties and
draft Operation & Maintenance (O&M) approvals as well as
construction of the project including construction of the structural
stormwater BMPs. 3. Post -Construction Stage: Final 0&M
approvals, easement recordation, digital & mylar as -built
submittals, establishment of a maintenance surety, homeowner
education packets certifications & reporting.
7.5.3. Operation and Maintenance: We will continue to implement and
develop policies and procedures to ensure the long-term O&M of
our BMPs and will be consistent with state regulations. This will
include but is not limited to requiring the following for each
structural BMP subject to the Town's regulations: Operation &
Maintenance manuals requiring quarterly self inspections and
annual certifications by a Professional Engineer, reporting and
enforcement; recording drainage and access easements;
establishing performance and maintenance sureties with
agreements (Stormwater Development Improvements Agreement
(SDPIA) with Stormwater development and maintenance agreement
(SMA) respectively,) between the Town and the developer,
property owner or Home Owners Association (HOA).
Town of Holly Springs, North Carolina 2016
NPDES Phase 11 Stormwater Permit Application — Permit NCS0000495 30 of 39
7.5.4. Enforcement: The post -construction stormwater program has two
stages of enforcement, during construction and post -construction.
The Environmental Technician is responsible for enforcing of the
post -construction regulations in the field. This starts with the
required Environmental Pre -construction meeting where the
contractor, developer and Town staff to discuss the installation of
each structural BMP and the Town's required inspections and
regulations. The Environmental Technician coordinates with the
projects Development Inspector to enforce the transition of erosion
control required for the construction of the BMP and/or conversion
of erosion control devices from a sediment basin to permanent
stormwater BMPs. The Environmental Technician inspects and
enforces as necessary the installation of the BMP and receives
certifications from the projects engineer ensuring that the volume,
structural integrity, soils and other required elements have been
installed as designed. If the BMP is not installed per the approved
plan the Town will have the developer come into compliance with
the approved stormwater management plan. The Town can issue a
Notice of Violation and civil penalties if the developer/owner does
not come into compliance within the specified timeframe. Once the
BMP has been constructed the Town has a one year performance
monitoring to verify that the BMP is still functioning properly and
required plantings have survived the first year. The punch list
inspection identifies required corrective actions and finalization of
O&M documentation for the Town to establish the maintenance
surety and transfer maintenance of the structural BMPs to the
property owner or HOA. Annually the Environmental Technician
will verify that the owner or HOA is maintaining the BMPs as
outlined in the approved O&M Manual for the BMPs, in the event
that the HOA is not following the Manual the Environmental
Technician will provide both education and enforcement
accordingly.

7.5.5. Control of sources of Fecal Coliform: The Town controls sources of
fecal coliform to the maximum extent practicable by include
education material targeted to the community through pet waste
management and on -site wastewater system maintenance. The
Town regulations for sewer service, Chapter 16 Article III, Division
2 of the Town Code of Ordinances and Section 7.08 prohibit the
construction of on -site treatment systems for domestic wastewater
and require all owners of improved real property Town limits and
within a reasonable distance of any sewer collection line, owned or
leased, and operated by the Town to connect their lines to the
Town's sanitary sewer system. In instances where the use of an
on -site wastewater treatment system is required the Town
coordinates with Wake County Health Department to permit and
enforce regulations to ensure that the system designed,
constructed, operated and maintained properly.
The Town's Post -Construction Stormwater program has
established both structural and non-structural BMP to reduce
nutrient loading in both the Cape Fear and Neuse River Basins by
requiring structural BMPs to require performance standards to
control the total nitrogen (TN) export limitations, per the Neuse
Basin Rules, 15A NCAC 2B.0233, for both new and redevelopment
in the Town and extra territorial jurisdiction. In addition to these
requirement the Town continue to maintain 30-f000t stream
buffers in the Cape Fear River Basin and 100-foot buffers on
perennial streams in the Neuse River basin, which exceeds the
required 50-foot Neuse Riparian Buffer. The Town will continue to
develop and distribute materials to homeowners and businesses
promote the use of soil testing and proper application of inorganic
fertilizer and organic nutrients.

NPDES Phase 11 5tormwater Permit Application — Permit NCS0000495 32 of 39
7.5.6. Non -Structural BMPs: The Town's Unified Development Ordinance
(UDO), Sedimentation and Erosion Control, Stream and Wetlands
Protection, Land Disturbance Ordinance; Flood Damage Prevention
Ordinance; Comprehensive Plan and Open Space Plan currently
provide requirements and standards to direct growth to identified
areas, protect sensitive areas such as wetlands and riparian areas,
maintain and/or increase open space and provide buffers along
sensitive water bodies, minimize impervious surfaces, and minimize
disturbance of soils and vegetation. These ordinances will be
revised accordingly to meet the State's minimum requirements
The Town's Unified Development Ordinance and Comprehensive
Plans can encourage various types of development. The
Downtown Development Incentives Policy P-033 was adopted in
December 2008 to encourage development in compliance with the
Village District Area Plan, part of the Town's comprehensive plan,
which promotes the use of design criteria that would provide for
shared parking, pocket parks, architectural features where the use
of three story buildings incorporating residential above commercial
versus a typical two story building and the possibility of assistance
with regional stormwater management in the Downtown area.
Other incentives may be developed to promote infill in sections of
the Town where there is existing storm sewer infrastructure.
As described above in Section 7.1 of this narrative, education
programs for developers, contractors and the public about the
Town's Post -Construction stormwater management program that
minimize impacts to water quality. These existing tools and others
will be incorporated in the Communications & Involvement Plan
focuses on the post -construction stormwater management program
in new development and redevelopment. Some current practices
that area directly related to the post -construction program is the
requirement to provide educational signage at structural
stormwater BMPs, Homeowners Education Packets, NPDES post -
construction stormwater updates during the Town's Developers
Workshops, environmental pre -construction meetings to ensure the
proper construction and maintenance of structural stormwater
BMPs.
Town of Holly Springs, Noah Carolina 2016
NPDES Phase II Stormwater Permit Application — Permit NC5000049S 33 of 39
The Town minimizes the percentage of impervious area after
development by enforcing our stream buffer and floodplain rules by
regulating or prohibiting parking, patio and accessory structures in
these protected areas. When building or UDO permit applications
are received for structures in areas that have existing stormwater
management plans the Town requires the applicant to verify that
the new impervious surface meets the approved stormwater
management plan for that drainage area or provide new BMPs or
upgrades to existing BMPs for the new impervious surface. The
Town will continue to develop other methods to reduce the
percentage of impervious areas after development and the addition
of measures to minimize directly connected impervious areas, and
source control measures often thought of as good housekeeping,
preventive maintenance and spill prevention have been or will be
incorporated into the six minimum measures of the Town's
stormwater management program, as well as other land
development regulations and guidance documents.
7.5.7. Structural BMPs: Previously structural BMPs such as wet ponds and
extended detention outlet structures were only required on sites
that had known drainage or flooding problems. The adoption of
the Town's post -construction stormwater regulations in 2007
require new and redevelopment project to provide structural BMPs
to meet the required water quality performance standards in
addition to the volume control performance standards for areas
where known drainage or flooding problems exist. The Town has
adopted structural BMPs consistent with the NC Stormwater BMP
Manual. Some of the structural BMPs found in the Town of Holly
Springs include constructed wetlands, bioretention areas, level
spreaders and vegetated filter strips. The design guidelines for
stormwater quality, quantity and conveyance are included in
Section 8 of the Town's Engineering Design and Construction
Standards and have been included for reference in Attachment 3.
7.5.8. Natural Resource Protection: The Town has polices, regulations
and incentives in place to protect natural resource areas and critical
habitat from future development. Through its Comprehensive Plan
and Open Space Master Plan and Unified Development Ordinance.
The Town currently has various riparian buffers required in the
Town's Planning Jurisdiction which includes 10-foor undisturbed
buffers tributary to Bass Lake, 100-foot buffers on perennial
streams and 50-foot buffers on intermittent streams in the Neuse
River Basin and 30-foot streams in the Cape Fear River Basin. The
Town of Holly Springs, North Carolina 2016
NPDES Phase II Stormwater Permit Application - Permit NCS0000495 34 of 39
Town does not allow residential lot development in both FEMA and
Town regulate floodplains and is in the process of developing more
restrictive requirements which would limit non-residential
development in the floodplain as well as platting of residential lots
in riparian buffers and floodplain. The Town also has
approximately a 40 acre area in the Middle Creek watershed that
has been protected for the Eastern Tiger Salamander, a State
Threatened Species. The Town requires conservation easements on
the Bass Lake buffers and coordinates with the local US Army Corps
of Engineers staff to require conservation easements on wetlands
that are not protected by stream buffers.
The Town coordinates with the Parks and Recreation on various
stewardship activities and programs held at Bass Lake Park which
includes stream cleanup programs. The Town also holds roadside
and stream clean-up days where all Town staff can participate by
cleaning up trash in the right-of-way and stream corridors. The
Town provides various methods of outreach to citizens to reduce
the risk of watershed contamination. On occasion staff will provide
assistance including but not limited to soil test kits and other
educational resources to homeowners or homeowners associations
that are experiencing problems on their property.
The Town has participated in various Wake County watershed
planning programs and is currently participating with the Wake
County Sustainability Task Force. The Town plans to develop other
resource management strategies as a result of participation with
these programs.
7.5.9. Open Space Protection: Both managed and natural open space is
required for development seeking approval thought the Unified
Development Ordinance and in a manner consistent with the Parks
and Recreation Master Open Space Plan.
Town of Holly Springs, North Carolina 2016
NPDES Phase 11 Stormwater Permit Application — Permit NCS0000495 35 of 39
7.5.10. Tree Preservation: The Town currently requires a Timbering Plan
for all tree removal that is not an exempt Forestry activity. The
Town requires riparian and perimeter buffers around development
and replanting of planning buffers where trees have died or
removed. In some areas throughout Town conditional zoning
requirements or conditions of plan approval have been placed on
specific projects to retain the natural topography and vegetation on
the site. The Planning Department is currently in the process to
develop more standard tree preservation requirements for new
development.
Street trees are required in various
7.5.11. Redevelopment, Develo ment in Areas with Existin Infrastructure
and Mixed Use Development: Currently the Town does not have
much opportunity for redevelopment and development in areas
with existing infrastructure due to the growth in the past ten to
fifteen years. The main area for redevelopment and infill is located
in the downtown area or Village District Area other areas where
there is this potential is the Northeast Gateway and Southern
Gateway areas. The Town has developed specific small area plans
for these areas to highlight development opportunities for mixed
residential, mixed use commercial and office/professional in that
area. In addition the Town Council approved development
incentives for the Downtown area which includes the use of shared
parking, mixed use development with multiple floors in one building
containing retail, office and residential uses and small scale regional
stormwater management opportunities. Currently the Town has
one Engineer that is LEED certified and three that are North
Carolina Low Impact Development (LID) Certified. The Town plans
to incorporate both LEED and LID principals in future updates of
the Unified Development Ordinance and Engineering Design and
Construction Standards and other planning documents.
Town of Holly Springs, North Carolina 2016
NPDES Phase II Stormwater Permit Application — Permit NCS0000495 36 of 39
7.5.12. Transportation Demand and Management Alternatives: The Town's
Thoroughfare Plan, Section 2 Transportation of the Town's
Comprehensive Plan and Engineering Design and Construction
standards that determine the type of road required for new
development or to be undertaken as a Town project. The Town is
currently in the process of undertaking a multi -modal
transportation plan which will look at various transportation
management alternatives.
7.5.13. Reduced Parking Re uirements and Minimizing Stormwater from
Parkin Lots: The Town's Comprehensive Plan and Unified
Development Ordinance has regulations that promote shared
parking and reduction of required parking spaces in new
development.
7.5.14. Green Infrastructure Strategies: The Town's current regulations
will allow for green infrastructure strategies to be used, this
includes the use of reclaimed water for irrigation or bulk use and
the ability to use Low Impact Development techniques to meet the
Town's post -construction stormwater requirements. Town will
continue to incorporate green infrastructure strategies in future
updates to the Unified Development Ordinance and other planning
documents and train staff to be knowledgeable in these
development techniques as discussed in section 7.5.11 of this
document.
7.5.15. Evaluation: Evaluation of the program will meet the minimum
requirement every five years. Regular monitoring of the success of
the program will occur through tracking post -construction
stormwater plan review, approvals, BMP inspections and
certifications and citizen complaints. Post -construction Stormwater
Design and Construction Standards will be included in updated to
the Town of Holly Springs Engineering Design and Construction
Standards which will include any NC Division of Water Quality BMP
manual updates that were not already included into the Town's
stormwater management program.

7.6 Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal
Operations
7.6.1 BMP Summary Table: Appendix A
7.6.2 Affected Operations: The Town has an inventory of
facilities that will be evaluated through environmental
audits to determine the potential pollution
contributions. A stormwater pollution prevention plan
will be established for each facility that has been
identified as a potential pollution contributor that is
required to have a General Industrial Stormwater
Permit. The plan includes BMPs that target the
identified pollutants, spill prevention and feasible
alternatives on the site to reduce surface water
pollution. Operations may be affected by this
measure but not limited to would include
maintenance yards, parks maintenance, vehicle
equipment maintenance, drainage system
maintenance, storage facilities, street sweeping,
ground maintenance and chemical applications.
7.6.3 Trainina: The Town performs biennial training,
performs onsite training during facility inspections and
utilizes any available government employee training
programs available through NC DENR, NC State
University, NC League of Municipalities or other
available resources. The trainings focus on use to
prevent and reduce stormwater pollution from
activities such as park and open space maintenance,
fleet and building maintenance, new construction and
land disturbances, and stormwater system
maintenance with funds that are available for training
in the approved fiscal budget. The Town will compile
a library of training materials on pollution prevention
for public facilities using existing materials gathered
from other organizations or creating new tools as
needed. Training of staff will be included in the
communications plan.
Town of Holly Springs, North Carolina 2016
NPDES Phase II stormwater Permit Application — Permit NCS000049S 38 of 39
7.6.4 Maintenance and Inspections: We currently have an
existing drainage maintenance program that is
designed to remove floatables and sediment from the
storm sewer system located in the Town's right-of-
way on an as needed basis. The Town is in the
process of evaluating the desired level of service for
stormwater maintenance within the MS4 and
determining the appropriate funding source to provide
the desired level of service to the community.
7.6.5 Vehicular Operations: An inspection of municipal
parking lots, maintenance and storage yards, waste
transfer stations, fleet or maintenance shops with
outdoor storage areas, and salt/sand storage
locations, and snow disposal areas the Town operates
will have potential BMP areas identified for reducing
or eliminating the discharge of pollutants. This will be
included in an environmental audit and necessary
actions to come into compliance with State
regulations.
7.6.6 Waste Disposal: Waste is collected and deposited in
an approved land fill, evaluation of collection
procedures specifically of yard waste and leaf
collection will occur annually and recommendations
will be made to the Public Works Department that
administers the program for implementation.
7.6.7 Other evaluations: Other procedures to evaluate spill
response, oil recycling program, maintenance of
hazardous chemical inventory, sanitary sewer supply
and maintenance programs, and the evaluation of
road construction and maintenance procedures will
evaluated annually and recommendations will be
made to the department that administers the program
for implementation.
7.6.8 Evaluation: Evaluation of the program will be made annually and
recommended changes will be made accordingly.
