contacts listed below under Information Sources will help you locate the information you need. Storm
water programs should be designed to address the specific needs of the community and water
resources they are intended to protect. If you haven't done so already, collect information on your city's
receiving waters and what pollutants and sources are impacting those waters. You should also know th
various uses of your receiving waters so you can design a program to protect those uses. Complete a

SW101700 Does the Stormwater Management Program summarize what best management practices will be usec
the frequency of the BMP, the measurable goals for each BMP, the implementation schedule, and the
responsible person or position for implementation?
Yes
Comments: Once we gather more input and data, we will refine our plan to best suit the city's needs and
abilities.
SW101710 Does the Stormwater Management Program identify the target audiences likely to have significant ston
water impacts (including commercial, industrial and institutional entities) and why those target
audiences were selected?
Yes
SW101720 Does the Stormwater Management Program identify what target pollutant sources the permittee's publi
education program is designed to address and why those sources are an issue?
Yes
Comments: The information is available to our citizen in the form of pamphlets, we also partner with CWEP to
implement audio & visual sources to the public.
SW101730 Does the Stormwater Management Program describe the permittee'Is outreach program (i.e., how the
permittee plans to inform individuals and households about the steps they can take to reduce storm
water pollution and how the permittee plans to inform individuals and groups on how to become involvE
in the storm water program?
Yes
Comments: our plan describes the outreach program, it needs refinement.
SW101750 Has the permittee develop general stormwater educational material to appropriate target groups?
Instead of developing its own materials, the permittee may rely on state -supplied Public Education and
Outreach materials, as available, when implementing its own program.

Septic Systems
No
Root Cause : Best Management Practice is not established
Plan of Action: The presence of septic systems are minimal inside of citv limits. and we reauire orooert
owners to connect to the sanitary sewer when septic systems fail. We do have a few
residences with step septic systems, which pump the effluent into the sanitary sewer. ThE
uses of these systems are limited to areas that may not be able gravity flow effluents. Thi
- systems use vacuum test tanks to greatly limit leakage.

No
Root Cause : Best Management Practice is not established
Ik Plan of Action: This is a part of the program which need to be added and improved.

use to detect the location of the source.
WN103400 rocedures for removing the source of the illicit discharge.

SW103420 Does the Stormwater Management Program address the following categories of non storm water
discharges or flows (i.e., illicit discharges) only if permittee identify them as significant contributors of
pollutants to the permitteenulls small MS4:

SW103590 flows from riparian habitats and wetlands;
SW103600 street wash water;
SW103610 flows from emergency fire fighting.
SW10362o T The permittee may also develop a list of other similar occasional, incidental non -storm water discharge
that will not be addressed as illicit discharges.
SW103630 These non -storm water discharges must not be reasonably expected (based on information available t(
the permittees) to be significant sources of pollutants to the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System,
because of either the nature of the discharges or conditions the permittee has established for allowing
these discharges to the permittee's MS4 (e.g., activity with appropriate controls on frequency, proximity
to sensitive waterbodies, BMPs).
SW103640 Does the Stormwater Management Program document local controls or conditions placed on dischargE
and a provision prohibiting any individual non -storm water discharge that is determined to be contributii
significant amounts of pollutants to the permittee's MS4?

watershed protection plan to meet part, or all, of the requirements for post -construction stormwater
management?
Yes
Page Number: 31
SW105680 Areas within the jurisdictional area of the permittee that are already subject to the existing state
stormwater management programs are deemed compliant with the post -construction stormwater
management model practices identified in (a). The programs are: the Water Supply Watershed
protection programs for WS-1 — WS-IV waters, the HQW and ORW waters management strategies, the
Neuse River Basin Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW) Management Strategy, the Tar -Pamlico River Bas
Nutrient NSW Strategy, and the Randleman Lake Water Supply Watershed program.
