This SWMP identifies the specific elements and minimum measures that the City of New Bern 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 NCS000585, 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 New Bern and located within the corporate limits of the City of New Bern. In preparing this SWMP, the City of New Bern 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.

Township 7 Area �t � � I In summary, the map shown above depicts 100% of the permitted drainage area. The City of New Bern is continuously updating its drainage area and structures to this map as we continue to grow and expand. We also find structures that went unnoticed in the original survey of our drainage system. The city is working with outside entities to improve our tracking and identification of outfalls within our area of responsibility. *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. NCS000585 SWMP City of New Bern September 21, 2021 Page 4 3.3 Receiving Waters The City of New Bern MS4 is located within the Neuse River Basin and discharges directly into receiving waters as listed in Table 1 below.

Table 4: NPDES Stormwater Permitted Industrial Facilities Permit Number Facility Name NCG030333 New Bern Recycling NCG190007 Hatteras/Cabo Yachts LLC NCG030088 BSH Home Appliances Corporation NCG170031 Amital Spinning Corporation NCG140105 Ready Mixed Concrete - New Bern, Plant 33 3.8 Non-Stormwater Discharges The water quality impacts of non-stormwater discharges have been evaluated by the City of New Bern as summarized in Table 5 below. The unpermitted non-stormwater flows listed as incidental do not significantly impact water quality. 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 New Bern. 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 City of New Bern to determine whether they may significantly impact water quality. Table 5: 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 NCS000585 SWMP City of New Bern September 21, 2021 Page 8 Springs Incidental Water from crawls ace pumps Incidental Footing drains Incidental Lawn watering Incidental Residential and charity car washing Incidental Flows from riparian habitats and wetlands Incidental Dechlorinated swimming pool discharges Incidental Street wash water Incidental Flows from firefighting activities Incidental 3.9 Target Pollutants and Sources In addition to those target pollutants identified, the City of New Bern is aware of other significant water quality issues within the permitted MS4 area. Information gathered from citizen complaints and employee input has given us insight into a major source of litter within our permitted area. Trucks traveling thru the city limit toward the area landfill are not securing load sufficiently causing a broadcasting of litter thru-out their routes. Table 6 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 New Bern has evaluated schools, homeowners and businesses as target audiences that are likely to have significant stormwater impacts.

The budget includes the permit administering and compliance fee, which is billed by the Division annually. Fiscal year 2019 — 2020, $927,801 was budgeted to the city's stormwater program. The City of New Bern collects funds for its stormwater program by tax revenue, which equivalates to $.02 per $1000 of property tax value, this rate is the same for residential and commercial properties. Additional funds are acquired thru the pre -construction stormwater review process. The city's Public Works director manages the monetary needs of the stormwater division, with the input of the division administrators, the Stormwater Superintendent and Staff Engineer for Public Works. After obtaining a clear picture of what is needed for the division, a budget is compiled and submitted for approval by the City Manager and the Board of Alderman. 4.3 Shared Responsibility The City of New Bern 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 City of New Bern remains responsible for compliance if the other entity fails to perform the permit obligation and may be subject to enforcement action if neither the City of New Bern nor the other entity fully performs the permit obligation. Table 8 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 a legal agreement to share responsibility is in place.
