This SWMP identifies the specific elements and minimum measures that the Town of China Grove 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 NCS000515, 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 China Grove and located within the corporate limits of the Town of China Grove. In preparing this SWMP, the Town of China Grove 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.

Signature: J/ Print Name: Ken Deal Title: Town Manager Signed this day of 20 21 DRAFT NCS000515 S WMP Town of China Grove July 2151, 2021 Page 2 PART 3: MS4 INFORMATION 3.1 Permitted MS4 Area This SWMP applies throughout the corporate limits of the Town of China Grove, including all regulated activities associated with the discharge of stormwater from the MS4. The map below shows the corporate limits of Town of China Grove as of the date of this document. 3.2 Existing MS4 Mapping Storm drainage within the Town of China Grove consists of a network of pipes, ditches and open channels, which were installed at different times by many different entities. The flow of storm water travels through both public and privately maintained areas, and the level of improvements installed are the option of the property owner. The overall drainage area is relatively small and is served by three major creeks and numerous tributary streams. Therefore, the typical drainage path from overland flow to the outfall is short. The Town recently inventoried the conveyance system and prepared detailed maps of the entire system within the Town's municipal boundary limits. Existing stormwater piping: +24,000 feet of 8" to 48" diameter piping Stormwater inlets: +276 inlets Outfalls or discharge points: +60 (size from 12" to 60" diameter) DRAFT NCS000515 SWMP Town of China Grove July 21", 2021 Page 3 Figure 3 of Appendix A is a location map of all inventoried outfalls within the Town's municipal boundaries. Appendix M includes detailed system maps showing the location of all inlets, piping and outfalls. Table 1: Summary of Current MS4 Mapping Percent of MS4 Area Mapped 100 % No. of Major Outfalls* Mapped Unknown** total *An oufall 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 oufall 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. * *Outfalls have been mapped but the classification of the specific outfalls as major oufalls has not occurred, therefore the number of major outfalls is unknown at this time (See BW No. 16). 3.3 Receiving Waters The tributary streams are listed in the order in which they occur beginning at the most downstream point of the named Creek within the program area and proceeding upstream. The direction of flow of Grants Creek and Town Creek is from south to north. Cold Water Creek flows from the north to the south. The "E" and "W ' designations indicate that the tributary is located to either the east or the west side of the main creek. The numerical designation indicates the order of occurrence from the most far point in the program area downstream to most upstream point in the program area. Figure 2 in Appendix A illustrates the receiving streams in the program area.

No tributary streams are included in the program area. 3.4 MS4 Interconnection The Town of China Grove MS4 is not interconnected with another regulated MS4 and directly discharges to the receiving waters as listed in Table 2 above. The MS4 does not interconnect with the statewide NCDOT TS4 and includes: a. The interconnection is not receiving stormwater from the NCDOT TS4. The number of interconnections is unknown. Quantity: N/A b. The interconnection is not discharging stormwater into the NCDOT TS4. The number of interconnections is unknown. Quantity: N/A c. The Town of China Grove MS4 mapping does/does not identify interconnections with the NCDOT TS4. d. The Town of China Grove MS4 mapping does not include NCDOT TS4 outfalls. 3.5 Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) The USEPA developed an approach called total maximum daily loads (TMDL) for determining the total waste (pollutant) loading from point and nonpoint sources that a stream or other water body can assimilate and maintain its designated uses. With the TMDL approach streams, which do not meet water quality standards, are identified and the State establishes priorities for actions needed to meet water quality goals. 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.

Table 5: NPDES Stormwater Permitted Industrial Facilities Permit Number Facility Name NCG070057 Hitachi Metals North Carolina NCG080909 R&L Carriers 3.8 Non-Stormwater Discharges The water quality impacts of non-stormwater discharges have been evaluated by the Town of China Grove as summarized in Table 6 below. The unpermitted non-stormwater flows listed as incidental do DRAFT NCS000515 SWMP Town of China Grove July 21", 2021 Page 6 not significantly impact water quality. The Town of China Grove 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 Town of China Grove. 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 China Grove to determine whether they may significantly impact water quality. Table 6: 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 Springs Incidental Water from crawls ace pumps Incidental Footing drains Incidental Lawn watering Incidental Residential and charity car washing Possible Flows from riparian habitats and wetlands Incidental Dechlorinated swimming pool discharges Incidental Street wash water N/A Flows from firefighting activities Incidental 3.9 Target Pollutants and Sources In addition to those target pollutants identified above, the Town of China Grove 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 SWMP program(s) that address each. In addition, the Town of China Grove has evaluated schools, homeowners and businesses as target audiences that are likely to have significant stormwater impacts.
