Nuisance Ordinance DRAFT NCS000420 SWMP Town of Garner March 25, 2022 Page 1 PART 1: INTRODUCTION The purpose of this Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) is to establish and define the means by which the Town of Garner 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 Garner 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 NCS000420, 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 Garner and located within the corporate limits of the Town of Garner. In preparing this SWMP, the Town of Garner 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.

DRAFT NCS000420 SWMP Town of Garner March 25, 2022 Page 3 PART 3: MS4 INFORMATION 3.1 Permitted MS4 Area This SWMP applies throughout the corporate limits of the Town of Garner, including all regulated activities associated with the discharge of stormwater from the MS4. The map below shows the corporate limits of Town of Garner as of the date of this document. 3.2 Existing MS4 Mapping The current MS4 mapping system consists primarily of reinforced concrete pipe with some corrugated metal pipe used in mainly residential and commercial areas. Most of the storm water enters the system through catch basins and some yard inlets. All SCMs that are owned by private developments or HOAs as well as publicly by the Town of Garner are also mapped within the Town of Garner GIS system, but not represented on the above map. Maps of the stormwater collection system are updated on a routine basis as the Town receives as-builts of completed development projects. DRAFT NCS000420 SWMP Town of Garner March 25, 2022 Page 4 Table 1: Summary of Current MS4 Mapping Percent of MS4 Area Mapped 95 % No. of Major Outfalls* Mapped ~165 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. The storm sewer system map was developed with initial criteria and every year starting in 2003, approximately 95% of the system has been mapped with additional information. The map is in digital form and paper maps can be created upon request. Discrepancies that were found by field verification were noted and changed accordingly. The storm sewer system is updated as the town receives as-built drawings, and any field discrepancies are changed accordingly as they are noted. The maps can be accessed through the Engineering Department of the Town. The number of major outfalls maps changes each year as we update our mapping to include new infrastructure. The number of major outfalls mapped above represents the current number of outfalls that are checked through high priority dry weather screenings. These numbers are updated within high priority areas when screened as new infrastructure has been added. DRAFT NCS000420 SWMP Town of Garner March 25, 2022 Page 5 3.3 Receiving Waters The Town of Garner MS4 is located within the Neuse River Basin and discharges directly into receiving waters as listed in Table 2 below. Applicable water quality standards listed below are compiled from the following NCDEQ sources: o Waterbody Classification Map o Impaired Waters and TMDL Map o Most recent NCDEQ Final 303(d) List Table 2: Summary of MS4 Receiving Waters Receiving Water Name Stream Index / AU Number Water Quality Classification 303(d) Listed Parameter(s) of Interest Swift Creek (Lake Benson) 27-43-(5.5) WS-III; NSW, CA Ecological/Benthos Buck Branch 27-43-6-(1) WS-III; NSW Buck Branch 27-43-6-(2) WS-III; NSW, CA Reedy Branch 27-43-7-(1) WS-III; NSW Reedy Branch 27-43-7-(2) WS-III; NSW, CA Mahler’s Creek 27-43-9 C; NSW White Oak Creek (Austin Pond) 27-43-11 C; NSW Unnamed Tributary to Swift Creek 27-43-5-(2) WS-III; NSW, CA Bagwell Branch Not Classified Echo creek Not Classified 3.4 MS4 Interconnection The Town of Garner 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 receiving stormwater from the NCDOT MS4. The number of interconnections is unknown. b. The interconnection is discharging stormwater into the NCDOT MS4. The number of interconnections is unknown. c. The Town of Garner MS4 mapping does identify some interconnections with the NCDOT MS4. d. The Town of Garner MS4 mapping does include some, not all, NCDOT MS4 outfalls. DRAFT NCS000420 SWMP Town of Garner March 25, 2022 Page 6 3.5 Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) 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 3: Summary of Approved TMDLs Water Body Name TMDL Pollutant(s) of Concern Stormwater Waste Load Allocation (Y/N) Water Quality Recovery Program (Y/N) N/A The Town of Garner does not currently have any TMDLs, but there are 3 streams that are currently on the 303D list that include Swift Creek and Lake Benson. When a TMDL is assigned to the Town of Garner, the Town shall comply with the requirements of any approved TMDL. Within 12 months of the final approval of a TMDL, the Town annual reports shall include a description of existing programs, controls, partnerships, projects and strategies to address impaired waters and a brief explanation as to how the programs, controls, partnerships, projects and strategies address impaired waters. In the event of an adopted TMDL, a Water Quality Recovery Program will be adopted to address reduction of the pollutant levels of concern in accordance with an approved Waste Load Allocation (WLA) assigned to the Town. DRAFT NCS000420 SWMP Town of Garner March 25, 2022 Page 7 3.6 Endangered and Threatened Species and Critical Habitat Significant populations of threatened or endangered species and/or critical habitat are not 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. Table 4: Potential Federally Listed Species/Habitat Impacted by Surface Water Quality Scientific Name Common name Species Group Federal Listing Status N/A 3.7 Industrial Facility Discharges The Town of Garner MS4 jurisdictional area includes the following industrial facilities which hold NPDES Industrial Stormwater Permits, as determined from the NCDEQ Maps & Permit Data web page. Currently there is only one municipal facility owned by the Town of Garner that holds an additional MS4 NPDES Industrial Permit to release stormwater, the Wade H Vester Public Works Center. Municipal employees are trained annually on pollution prevention and good housekeeping, general stormwater information, stormwater control measure maintenance and illicit discharges. The municipal facility has an annual inspection for the vehicle maintenance shop, fueling station and grounds and the outfall on site that drains the fueling area is inspected twice a year for any stormwater pollution discharges. Table 5: NPDES Stormwater Permitted Industrial Facilities Permit Number Facility Name NCG080688 Town of Garner – Wade H Vester Public Works Center 3.8 Non-Stormwater Discharges The water quality impacts of non-stormwater discharges have been evaluated by the Town of Garner as summarized in Table 6 below. The unpermitted non-stormwater flows listed as incidental do not significantly impact water quality. The Town of Garner 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 Garner. 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 DRAFT NCS000420 SWMP Town of Garner March 25, 2022 Page 8 contain detergents have been evaluated by the Town of Garner to determine whether they may significantly impact water quality. Any commercial car wash or detergents that are draining to the storm drain system receive a notice of violation (NOV) until they connect their wash water to sanitary sewer or an oil/water separator. 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 crawl space 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 Possible Flows from firefighting activities Incidental 3.9 Target Pollutants and Sources In addition to those target pollutants identified above, the Town of Garner is aware of other significant water quality issues within the permitted MS4 area. These include fertilizer and application of law care products, general stormwater, disposal of household chemicals and used oil, car washing, pet waste and litter. Some of these topics are currently targeted by our regional partnership with the Clean Water Education Partnership and other items are tackled through the Town of Garner Engineering Department based on citizen complaints as well as field observations. Litter, pet waste, fats and oils have been the most recent focus as well as educating restaurant owners regarding illicit discharges. 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 Garner has evaluated schools, homeowners and businesses as target audiences that are likely to have significant stormwater impacts.
