PART 1: INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) is to establish and define the means by which
the Town of Woodfin 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 Woodfin 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 NCS000440, 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 Woodfin and located
within the corporate limits of the Town of Woodfin.

In preparing this SWMP, the Town of Woodfin 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.

PART 3: MS4 INFORMATION
3.1 Permitted MS4 Area
This SWMP applies throughout the corporate limits of the Town of Woodfin, including all regulated
activities associated with the discharge of stormwater from the MS4. The map below shows the corporate
limits of Town of Woodfin as of the date of this document.
3.2 Existing MS4 Mapping
The current MS4 mapping includes inlets and catch basins, pipes with flow direction, outfalls and
receiving waters. Major outfalls are identified in a separate data layer. Information such as material,
depth, diameter, and condition are also recorded, and a photo is linked to inlets and outfalls.
The stormwater system map is hosted by Land of Sky Regional Council and available online:
https://arcg.is/1m4GWT0
Table 1: Summary of Current MS4 Mapping
Percent of MS4 Area Mapped 99 %
No. of Major Outfalls* Mapped TBD total
*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

DRAFT NCS000440 SWMP
Town of Woodfin

3.4 MS4 Interconnection
The Town of Woodfin MS4 is not interconnected with another regulated MS4 and directly discharges to
the receiving waters as listed in Table 2 above.

The MS4 does interconnect with the statewide NCDOT MS4 and includes:

a. The interconnection is/is not receiving stormwater from the NCDOT MS4. The number of
interconnections is known/estimated/unknown. Quantity: ## or N/A

b. The interconnection is not discharging stormwater into the NCDOT MS4.

c. The Town of Woodfin MS4 mapping does identify interconnections with the NCDOT MS4.

d. The Town of Woodfin MS4 mapping does not include NCDOT MS4 outfalls. Currently, we
have only been able to acquire the NCDOT inlets.

3.5 Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs)
No total maximum daily loads have been established in the MS4, as determined by the map and list
provided on the NCDEQ Modeling & Assessment Unit web page. There is a statewide TMDL for
mercury; however, the French Broad River Basin was not an area of concern. The following link provides
additional information on the NC Statewide Mercury TMDL.

3.6 Endangered and Threatened Species and Critical Habitat
Significant populations of threatened or endangered species and/or critical habitat are identified within the
regulated MS4 urbanized area. Based upon a review of the Endangered and Threatened Species and
Species of Concern by County for North Carolina Map and Listed species believe to or known to occur in
North Carolina map as provided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the species listed in Table 4 have
the potential to occur within the regulated MS4 urbanized area. Of those species listed, Table 4
summarizes the species that may be significantly impacted by the quality of surface waters within their
habitat.

3.7 Industrial Facility Discharges
The Town of Woodfin MS4 jurisdictional area includes the following industrial facilities which hold
NPDES Industrial Stormwater Permits, as determined from the NCDEQ Maps & Permit Data web page.

Table 5: NPDES Stormwater Permitted Industrial Facilities
Permit Number Facility Name
NCG050238 Silver Line Plastics LLC
NCG080661 Republic Services of North Carolina LLC

NCG030134 Thermo Fisher Scientific LLC

3.8 Non-Stormwater Discharges
The water quality impacts of non-stormwater discharges have been evaluated by the Town of Woodfin as
summarized in Table 6 below. The unpermitted non-stormwater flows listed as incidental do not

DRAFT NCS000440 SWMP
Town of Woodfin
August 2021
Page 6

significantly impact water quality. The Town of Woodfin 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 Woodfin.

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 Woodfin to determine whether they may
significantly impact water quality. According to the 2020 Integrated Report, the portions of the French
Broad River receiving discharges from the MS4 are meeting water quality criteria for parameters such as
pH and dissolved oxygen, which indicates that there is not an issue with detergent runoff.

3.9 Target Pollutants and Sources
In addition to those target pollutants identified above, the Town of Woodfin is aware of a significant
water quality issue within the permitted MS4 area. Newfound Creek, which flows through the northwest
corner of the town’s municipal boundary on the west side of the French Broad River, is on the 303d list
for fecal coliform. However, the town’s stormwater system does not cover this area, and the impairment
is largely due to agricultural runoff in the Newfound Valley of Buncombe County.

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 Woodfin has evaluated schools,
homeowners and businesses as target audiences that are likely to have significant stormwater impacts.

The target audiences, as shown in Table 7 were identified due to the potential for these entities to
contribute to pollutants and because they are the groups that have probable ability to affect positive
change.

4.2 Program Funding and Budget
In accordance with the issued permit, the Town of Woodfin 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 the general revenue fund for professional services, training,
and maintenance and repairs ($85,000 for FY22). The Town of Woodfin has also budgeted a portion of its
ARP SLFRF allocation ($1,149,103.73) to a special revenue fund for capital improvements to its
stormwater system. The ARP funds must be fully obligated by December 31, 2024 and expended by
December 31, 2026. The Town will evaluate the sufficiency of its current funding to implement the
SWMP and to comply with MS4 Permit requirements.

4.3 Shared Responsibility
The Town of Woodfin 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 Woodfin 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 Woodfin nor the other entity
fully performs the permit obligation. Table 9 below summarizes who will be implementing the

PART 8: CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL PROGRAM
In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0153, the Town of Woodfin 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 Town of Woodfin 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 Town of Woodfin 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.
