PART 1: INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) is to establish and define the means by which
the City of High Point 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 City of High Point 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 NCS000421, as issued by NCDEQ. This permit covers activities associated with
the discharge of stormwater from the MS4 as owned and operated by the City of High Point and located
within the corporate limits of the City of High Point.
In preparing this SWMP, the City of High Point 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. Any major changes to the approved SWMP will require resubmittal,
review, and approval by NCDEQ, and may require a new public comment period depending on the nature
of the changes.

3.2 Existing MS4 Mapping
The current MS4 mapping includes pipes, flow direction, ditches, inlets, catch basins, manholes, outfalls,
sizes, condition, etc., and is contained in our GIS mapping program and in a secure layer of ThePoint, an
interactive map which allows searches for property information as well as many other types of
information related to areas of High Point. The City of High Point does not provide access to stormwater
structural layers to the general public, however.
Go to https:Hgiswebl0.hi vointnc.gov/JS/ThePoint/ to access the Interactive GIS Data Viewer.
Table 1: Summary of Current MS4 Mapping
Percent of MS4 Area Mapped
99%
No. of Major Outfalls* Mapped
1,203 as of 7-14-2021
*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 City of High Point MS4 is located within the Cape Fear and Yadkin River Basins 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:

3.8 Non-Stormwater Discharges
The water quality impacts of non-stormwater discharges have been evaluated by the City of High Point as
summarized in Table 6 below. The unpermitted non-stormwater flows listed as incidental do not
significantly impact water quality. The City of High Point 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
City of High Point.
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 not been evaluated by the City of High Point to determine whether they may significantly
impact water quality. However, the City of High Point will continue to educate the general public on the
hazards associated with car washing. Measures to address these target pollutants are provided in Part 5 of
this SWMP.

3.9 Target Pollutants and Sources
In addition to those target pollutants identified above, the City of High Point is 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 City of High Point has evaluated schools,
homeowners and businesses as target audiences that are likely to have significant stormwater impacts.

4.2 Program Funding and Budget
In accordance with the issued permit, the City of High Point 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 program is funded through a stormwater utility fee charged to property owners within
city limits. Residential customers are charged 1 Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU) of $4 per month.
All commercial and industrial properties are charged based on the total amount of impervious area on a
property divided by the ERU (Equivalent Residential Unit) of 2,588 square feet multiplied by $4 per
month. Example: 100,000 sq. ft. / 2588 sq. ft. = 38.64 ERU, 38.64 ERU X
$4 per month = $154.56 per month for the stormwater utility fee.

PART S: CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL PROGRAM
In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0153, the City of High Point relies upon the North Carolina
Sedimentation Pollution Control Act (SPCA) of 1973 as a qualifying alternative program to meet a
portion of the NPDES MS4 Permit requirements for construction site runoff control measures. The
SPCA requirements include reducing pollutants in stormwater runoff from construction activities that
result in land disturbance of greater than or equal to one acre and includes any construction activity that is
part of a larger common plan of development that would disturb one acre or more. The state SPCA
Program is either delegated to a city/town, delegated to a county, or implemented by NCDEQ in non -
delegated areas.

PART 9: POST -CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL PROGRAM
This SWMP identifies the minimum elements to develop, implement and enforce a program to address
stormwater runoff from new development and redevelopment projects that disturb greater than or equal to
one acre, including projects less than one acre that are part of a larger common plan of development or
sale, that are located within the City of High Point and discharge into the MS4. These elements are
designed to minimize water quality impacts utilizing a combination of structural Stormwater Control
Measures (SCMs) and/or non-structural BMPs appropriate for the community and ensure adequate long-
term operation and maintenance of SCMs.
In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0153 and .1017, the City of High Point implements the following
State post -construction program requirements, which satisfy the NPDES Phase II MS4 post -construction
site runoff control requirements as Qualifying Alternative Programs (QAPs) in the MS4 area(s) where
they are implemented.

PART 10: POLLUTION PREVENTION AND GOOD HOUSEKEEPING PROGRAMS
This SWMP provides a comprehensive pollution prevention and good housekeeping strategy for the City
of High Point 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
The City of High Point will manage, implement, and report the pollution prevention and good
housekeeping BMPs as specified in Table 21 below for each required program.
