PART 1: INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) is to establish and define the means
by which the Town of Maiden 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 Town of Maiden
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 NCS000481, 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 Maiden and located within the corporate limits of the Town of Maiden.
In preparing this SWMP, the Town of Maiden 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.

3.8 Non-Stormwater Discharges
The water quality impacts of non-stormwater discharges have been evaluated by the Town of
Maiden as summarized in Table 6 below. The unpermitted non-stormwater flows listed as
incidental do not significantly impact water quality. The Town of Maiden 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 Maiden.
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 Maiden to determine
whether they may significantly impact water quality.
In coordination with the Western Piedmont Council of Government, the message of stormwater
pollutants and various types of stormwater quality impacts are discussed with the public.

3.9 Target Pollutants and Sources
In addition to those target pollutants identified above, the Town of Maiden is aware of other
significant water quality issues within the permitted MS4 area. These include grass clippings
thrown into the road. Based on several complaints and concerns raised by our Street Department,
grass clippings and yard debris in the road can cause issues with storm drains being able to
handle stormwater. Additionally, litter can contribute negatively to stormwater and the
environment and is always an aspect of keeping streams clean that needs to be discussed with
audiences.
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 Maiden has
evaluated schools, homeowners and businesses as target audiences that are likely to have
significant stormwater impacts.

PART 4: STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION
4.1 Organizational Structure
The Town Manager is over three departments that assist in the overall implementation of the
stormwater program. The Planning Department serves as the stormwater administrator and
oversees several aspects of the stormwater program. The Public Works Department, primarily
the Street Department assist the program through recognizing issues throughout the MS4
including cleaning stormdrains and inlets, collecting leaves and brush and overseeing the Public
Works facility. Lastly, the Fire Department is most frequently called in the event of a spill
response and work closely with the Catawba County Emergency Management to ensure cleanup.

*Public Education and Outreach are administered by the Western Piedmont Council of
Governments WPCOG, but fees are taken from the Planning Budget.
^ Construction Site Runoff Control is provided by Catawba County and no fees are charged.
4.2 Program Funding and Budget
In accordance with the issued permit, the Town of Maiden 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.
Funding Mechanisms for the stormwater program: The stormwater program is not supported by a
revenue source such as impervious surface rate or other such fees. Funding for the stormwater
program is provided solely by the Town of Maiden’s General Fund. The total budget is $31,571.
This includes funding for the Western Piedmont Council of Governments WPCOG GIS
maintenance service that is used to map utilities (stormwater infrastructure, but also water,
sewer, and electric) Contract for WPCOG Public Education and Outreach aspect, NPDES MS4
Permit, and a portion of wages from Town employees involved in implementing the stormwater
program. This is an increase from $3,400 previously shown as the budget in the annual report.
This funding indicates an accurate depiction of the Town’s expenditure on the stormwater
program and is sufficient to implement this SWMP.
4.3 Shared Responsibility
The Town of Maiden 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 Town of Maiden remains responsible for compliance if the other entity fails to perform the
permit obligation, and may be subject to enforcement action if neither the Town of Maiden nor
NCS000481 SWMP

PART 10: POLLUTION PREVENTION AND GOOD HOUSEKEEPING PROGRAMS
This SWMP provides a comprehensive pollution prevention and good housekeeping strategy for
the Town of Maiden 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
Currently, the Maiden Fire Department handles spill responses and this is done in conjunction
with Catawba County Emergency Services. The Town of Maiden does not have a street sweeper
but provides leaf collection, brush collection, and curbside removal of certain solid waste. The
Town of Maiden will quantify these measurements of pick up. The Town of Maiden will
manage, implement and report the pollution prevention and good housekeeping BMPs as
specified in Table 21 below for each required program.
