The purpose of these actions is to minimize the discharge of pollutants from facilities owned and operated by the co-permittees that have been identified as having a significant potential for generating polluted stormwater runoff. The information contained in this document is also contained in Sections 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, and Appendix D of Mecklenburg County’s Storm Water Quality Management Program Plan. Section 2: Inventory of Municipally Owned or Operated Properties CMSWS has developed and is maintaining an inventory of properties owned by co-permittees. The inventory is contained in separate Excel spreadsheets maintained for each co-permittee as illustrated in Attachment 1. As of FY2021, there are a total of 3,052 properties included in these spreadsheets. A copy of the inventory is available upon request. All properties included in this inventory have been evaluated to determine if they have a significant potential for generating polluted stormwater runoff based on a determination that both of the following criteria are satisfied: 1. There is an exposure of significant materials at the facility based on the “Exposure Checklist” included in numbers 12 through 14 of NCDEQ’s “No Exposure Certification Form” (NCGNE0000) as described in CMSWS’s “Form for Evaluating Exposure of Significant Materials” (see Attachment 2), and 2. There are no written procedures or controls in place to prevent pollution. All facilities identified as having a significant potential for generating polluted stormwater runoff based on the above criteria as listed in Table 1, 2, 3, and 4 are included in CMSWS’s Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping Program. The co-permittees that own and/or operate these facilities are required to implement long-term pollution prevention measures to reduce the potential for polluted stormwater runoff, including (but not limited to) the below. These long- term pollution prevention measures are described in more detail in the following Sections of this document. Five (5) private operations located on property owned by a co-permittee that have the significant potential for generating polluted stormwater runoff are also included in Table 1. These facilities are inspected once every five (5) years. 1. Development of a full Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan that includes specific O&M Plans for reducing pollutants specific to the facility; 2. Development of written Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for activities on-site that have a significant potential to pollute stormwater; 3. Required inspections; and 4. Required pollution prevention training for on-site staff.

Fleet Management Facility NCG080063 Marcus McAdoo, Shop Manager 704-249-5290 900 W.12th Street, Charlotte * Operations are still being conducted at the Old Compost Central & Recycling Center. However, according to Joe Hack (Program Manager) these operations are planned to be discontinued in late 2021. Joe will notify CMSWS when this occurs, and the facility will be removed from the inspection list at that time provided all possible pollution sources have been eliminated. As of January 1, 2021, CMS owns and/or operates 176 schools. These schools have all been evaluated and determined not to have a significant potential for generating polluted stormwater runoff. However, the schools have the potential to generate pollutants that are not considered significant from food service areas, dumpsters without lids and plugs, erosion from high traffic areas, etc. Therefore, the schools are inspected roughly once every eight (8) years and training is provided to staff as necessary. During these inspections, pollution sources are identified and eliminated, and inspection reports completed. Co-permittees purchase, and in some case sell, properties necessitating that the inventory be updated on an annual basis. The process for updating the inventory is described below. 1. Prior to January 31st of every year, staff with CMSWS will use the Mecklenburg County Open Mapping system to obtain an updated inventory of all properties that are owned by the co-permittees, including the County, six (6) Towns, CPCC and CMS. 2. Prior to March 31st of every year, staff will complete a comparison of the updated inventory to the inventory on file from the previous fiscal year. The inventory will be updated with all new co-permittee properties. 3. Prior to May 31st of every year, staff will evaluate the new properties added to the inventory to determine if the properties have a significant potential to pollute as defined above. This process is as follows: Operation & Maintenance Plan for Municipally Owned & Operated Facilities - Permit # NCS000395 5 a. The most current aerial imagery available will be used to determine if no buildings are located on the property in which case the property will be identified as not having a significant potential to pollute and will not be included in the Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping Program. b. The inventory will be updated to indicate that the property was not included in the Program by placing an “N” in the column entitled “Significant Potential to Pollute” and a “N” in the column entitled “Pollution Prevented or Eliminated.” A comment as to why (i.e. – no building on property) will be added to the inventory. An Activity Report will be completed in Cityworks to document the identification process for properties with no significant potential to pollute. Staff will email their supervisor regarding completion of this evaluation and indicate the Activity Report number. c. Properties with one or more buildings (excluding single family homes) will be field evaluated and the Form for “Evaluating Exposure of Significant Materials” (see Attachment 2) will be completed. The form is divided into three (3) sections, including Exposure to Precipitation, Above Ground Storage Tanks, and Secondary Containment. If the answer is “Yes” to any of the questions under Exposure to Precipitation or “No” to any of the questions under Above Ground Storage Tanks and Secondary Containment, then the facility has a significant potential to pollute unless: i. Written procedures or controls are in place to prevent pollution; or ii. The source(s) of pollution can be permanently eliminated. If either of these two (2) conditions for exclusion from having a significant potential to pollute currently exist or can be developed, then staff will select the appropriate “Yes” or “No” box on the form and indicate under “Comments” at the end of each section the appropriate exclusion option and whether it currently exists or needs to be developed. If no exclusion option exists, then the appropriate box is selected, and no comment provided. d. If the answer is “No” to all the questions under Exposure to Precipitation and “Yes” to all the questions under Above Ground Storage Tanks and Secondary Containment, then the facility does not have a significant potential to pollute. However, there may be pollution sources that are not listed on the form, such as vehicle washing outside or a leaking drum. In such cases, staff will note this under “General Comments” at the bottom of the form. In all such situations, staff must implement immediate actions to remove the pollution source, including issuing a Notice of Violation and/or requiring that SOPs be implemented to eliminate/control the source. e. Staff will complete an Activity Report in Cityworks to document the field evaluation and the Form will be attached. Staff will indicate in the Activity Report whether the property has a significant potential to pollute and recommend a course of action. Staff will submit the Activity Report documenting the completion of the field evaluation to their supervisor for review and follow up. f. The supervisor will review the Activity Report and discuss with staff as necessary. The supervisor will decide the appropriate course of action and the Activity Report will include a description of that action and document when it is completed. For example, if it is decided that there is no significant potential to Operation & Maintenance Plan for Municipally Owned & Operated Facilities - Permit # NCS000395 6 pollute, the lead staff will explain this in the Activity Report and update the inventory by placing an “N” in the column entitled “Significant Potential to Pollute” and a “N” in the column entitled “Pollution Prevented or Eliminated.” The Activity Report number will be indicated in the inventory and then closed. No further action is required. g. If it is decided that there is a significant potential to pollute, but that one of the two (2) exclusion options described above can be implemented, then the supervisor will assign this work to staff and follow up to ensure completion at which point the Activity Report will be updated with a description of the actions taken and the inventory updated by placing a “Y” in the column entitled “Significant Potential to Pollute” and a “Y” in the column entitled “Pollution Prevented or Eliminated.” A brief description of the actions completed will be provided in the comment column of the inventory. The Activity Report number will be indicated in the inventory and then closed. No further action is required. h. If it is decided that there is a significant potential to pollute and the two (2) exclusion options cannot be implemented, then the supervisor will explain this in the Activity Report and update the inventory by placing a “Y” in the column entitled “Significant Potential to Pollute” and a “N” in the column entitled “Pollution Prevented or Eliminated.” A comment will also be added to the inventory explaining why. The Activity Report number will be indicated in the inventory and then closed. The facility will be added to the Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping Program and the four (4) long-term pollution prevention measures will be implemented as described in this document. i. If it is decided that there is no significant potential to pollute but pollution sources are present at the facility that are not listed on the form, then the supervisor will ensure that staff complete the necessary follow up actions to eliminate the source(s). The Activity Report will be updated with a description of the actions taken and the inventory updated by placing a “N” in the column entitled “Significant Potential to Pollute” and a “Y” in the column entitled “Pollution Prevented or Eliminated.” A brief description of the actions completed will be provided in the comment column of the inventory. The Activity Report number will be indicated in the inventory and then closed. No further action is required. j. In some situations, the supervisor may decide that even though a significant potential to pollute does not exist there is a potential to cause negative water quality impacts and sources cannot be effectively eliminated or controlled. In such cases, the supervisor may elect to implement one (1) or more of the four (4) long-term pollution prevention measures described in this document. A brief description of the actions to be undertaken will be provided in the comment column of the inventory. The Activity Report will be updated with a description of the actions taken and the inventory updated by placing a “N” in the column entitled “Significant Potential to Pollute” and a “Y” in the column entitled “Pollution Prevented or Eliminated.” A brief description of the actions completed will be provided in the comment column of the inventory. The Activity Report number will be indicated in the inventory and then closed. No further action is required. Operation & Maintenance Plan for Municipally Owned & Operated Facilities - Permit # NCS000395 7 4. Prior to June 30th of every year, staff will contact all co-permittees either by email or letter providing a list of all their facilities and/or operations that have been determined to have a significant potential to pollute and are therefore subject to the Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping Program. Co-permittees will be asked to respond back with any additional facilities and/or operations that should be added to the list or indicate that the list is complete. The supervisor may assign field evaluations or other follow up actions as necessary based on these responses to ensure that the inventory is updated as necessary. All the above actions will be documented in an Activity Report in Cityworks with all correspondences attached. The end result will be the completion of the updated inventory prior to June 30th of every year that has been verified in writing by each co- permittee. 5. The inventory must be completed by June 30th of every year. 6. If follow up actions are deemed necessary for future fiscal years, the supervisor will be responsible for incorporating these actions into annual Work Plans. 7. The supervisor will work with the Program Manager to update the SWMP to include new properties into the Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping Program. Section 3: Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) SWPPPs are developed and implemented for all municipal facilities included in the inventory as having a significant potential to generate stormwater pollution. These SWPPPs describe the O&M Plans and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) implemented at the facilities for the purpose of reducing the discharge of pollution in stormwater runoff. At a minimum, SWPPPs include the following: 1. Site Map that shows the location of the facility and all access roads. The map must also indicate the name of the receiving stream and specify if it is impaired and the source of that impairment. A USGS quadrangle map is acceptable. 2. Site Plan that shows the location of all structures on the site and the general uses of these structures (i.e. storage, vehicle maintenance, offices, etc.) as well as the locations of all stormwater inlets and outlets at or adjacent to the facility, potential pollution sources and access on and off the site. 3. Stormwater Management Plan that includes an evaluation of BMPs (if any) on the site, and descriptions of storage practices, waste handling and disposal methods and the potential on-site pollution sources including exposed significant materials. 4. Spill Prevention and Response Plan that identifies the specific actions to be taken to prevent and respond to spills, including clean up contractors and their contact information, etc. 5. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Plan that describes the measures taken to prevent or minimize contamination of stormwater runoff from areas identified as potential pollution sources, including but not limited to areas used for vehicle and equipment cleaning. The Plan must also describe the type and frequency of site inspections and routine maintenance and the staff responsible for performing these activities. 6. Training Schedule that describes the employees that will receive training, the type of training to be provided and the schedule for that training. This training must include a Operation & Maintenance Plan for Municipally Owned & Operated Facilities - Permit # NCS000395 8 discussion of all the material contained in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. All staff must be made aware of the location of this Plan at the facility. Section 4: Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) Written SOPs are developed to describe the actions co-permittees are to undertake to control the discharge of pollutants from their facilities and operations to protect downstream water quality. These SOPs are provided to co-permittees and are included in their SWPPPs. CMSWS evaluates the effectiveness of the implementation of these SOPs during facility inspections as described in Section 5. Section 5: Inspections CMSWS conducts inspections of all the facilities listed in Tables 1, 2, 3, and 4 above. Facilities operated by a co-permittee are inspected annually and facilities operated by private entities on property owned by a co-permittee are inspected once every 5 years. These inspections include the following: 1. Thorough assessment of facility operations, maintenance activities, maintenance schedules and long-term inspection procedures for controls to reduce floatables and other pollutants. Pollution sources will be identified and minimized to the MEP. 2. Evaluation and documentation of the procedures for the disposal of waste removed from the MS4 and municipal operations, including street sweeping wastes, dredge spoil, accumulated sediment, floatables, and other debris, as applicable. 3. Visual evaluation of stormwater outfalls at the facility and identification and minimization of pollution sources to the MEP. 4. Review of spill response and clean up procedures. Procedures will be revised as necessary to ensure protection of water quality. 5. Evaluation of housekeeping practices that will be revised as necessary to minimize potential pollution sources to the MEP. 6. Identification of all potential discharges of pollution, including parking lots, maintenance and storage yards, waste transfer stations, fleet and maintenance facilities, outdoor storage areas, salt/sand storage areas, etc. 7. Evaluation of areas used for vehicle and equipment cleaning to ensure that all discharges are to the sanitary sewer system. 8. Identification and elimination of dry weather discharges. 9. Review of Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans annually. 10. Review of educational materials. 11. Review the timeliness of any monitoring reports required by the NPDES Permits issued to the facilities listed in Table 4 above. 12. Evaluation of the co-permittees status regarding compliance with Permit requirements, including: post-construction stormwater controls for transportation projects; maintenance of municipally-owned streets, roads, and public parking lots (PP-6); operation and maintenance of municipally-owned or maintained catch basins, conveyance systems, and structural stormwater controls (PP-7); and management of pollutants from vehicle and equipment cleaning areas (PP-8). In addition, CMSWS obtains the pesticide license numbers for all employees and contractors performing application activities and conducts Operation & Maintenance Plan for Municipally Owned & Operated Facilities - Permit # NCS000395 9 a search on the NC Dept. of Agriculture and Consumer Services website to ensure all licenses are valid. 13. Completion of a written report documenting findings and listing actions taken to minimize pollution sources and protect water quality to the MEP. Additional inspection details are contained in the Stormwater Inspection Checklist that is reviewed and updated as necessary as part of the Phase II Work Plan developed and implemented annually by CMSWS. A copy of this checklist is provided in Appendix B. The co- permittee that owns and/or operates the facility is responsible for compliance. Follow up inspections are conducted as necessary to ensure the minimization of all potential pollution sources to the MEP and documentation of corrective actions. The supervisor of each facility is contacted and provided with a copy of the written report. All reports of inspection activities are reviewed by the supervisor prior to closure. These reports are maintained in the Cityworks database. Section 6: Training Annual training is provided to the employees involved in implementing pollution prevention and good housekeeping practices at the municipally operated facilities listed in Tables 1, 2, 3, and 4 above. Privately-operated facilities located on properties owned by a co-permittee as identified in Table 1 are responsible for conducting their own training. Training is also provided for other employees involved in municipal operations that have the potential to cause negative water quality impacts. The goal of this training seminar is to inform employees of the actions necessary to reduce the discharge of pollution and protect water quality from activities such as park and open space maintenance, fleet and building maintenance, new construction and land disturbances, storm sewer system maintenance, and other municipal activities as well as the steps for reporting suspected illicit discharges and actions required for compliance with Permit requirements. The following topics are covered in the training seminar: 1. Overview of general water quality conditions in Mecklenburg County and reasons for protecting water quality. 2. Description of common pollutants, their sources and water quality impacts associated with illicit discharges. 3. Description of the actions that each facility and/or operation should take to reduce discharges of pollutants, including good housekeeping and proper herbicide, pesticide, and fertilizer application and management. 4. Description of effective spill prevention measures that should be employed at each facility and/or operation. 5. Discussion of typical pollution sources at municipal operations and the specific action that should be taken to eliminate these sources and protect water quality. 6. Description of techniques for identifying and reporting illicit discharges and connections. This training is a Permit requirement for all municipal staff, who, as part of their normal job responsibilities, may come into contact with or otherwise observe an illicit discharge or illicit connection to the storm sewer system. 7. Description of new requirements in the Permit issued in November 2011 as follows: • Post-construction stormwater controls for municipally owned transportation projects. Operation & Maintenance Plan for Municipally Owned & Operated Facilities - Permit # NCS000395 10 • Minimizing pollution from municipally owned streets, roads, and public parking lots. • Operation and maintenance of municipally owned and maintained storm sewer system including catch basins and conveyance. • Management of pesticide, herbicide and fertilizer application. 8. Review of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and/or Spill Response Plan. 9. Explanation of the consequences of failing to control pollutants at facilities and/or pollutants associated with municipal operations. 10. Proper reporting of illicit discharges. The above training is conducted separately from the outreach programs conducted for the IDDE Program previously described under program element ID-5, which includes training for municipal staff, who, as part of their normal job responsibilities, may come into contact with or otherwise observe an illicit discharge or illicit connection to the storm sewer system. The training for the Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping Program described under program element PP-1 focuses on municipal staff involved in implementing pollution prevention and good housekeeping practices. Due to the very distinct differences in the two (2) target audiences it is necessary to separate this training.
