Outreach Program based on community wide issues. Yes 1
Comments (Generally describe process for establishing goals/objectives)

Town of Garner stormwater management plan defines goals and objectives for the local public education and outreach program
based on community wide issues. The narrative paragraph within section 7. Stormwater Management Program and 7.1 Public
Education and Outreach on Stormwater Impacts specifically describes our goals and objectives using resources from both the Clean
Water Education Partnership (CWEP) as well as Town education events and PSAs that are produced by Town staff. Staff also attend
town wide events as schedules permit and produces mass media PSAs in conjunction with the Town’s communication department
that run on social media, our website and our local cable channel. Target pollutants are reviewed and updated on an annual basis
based on the major issues within a given year. For example, litter became a big issue during 2020, the first year of the Covid-19
pandemic and a litter PSA was produced for education.

II.B.2.b

Public Education and Outreach
Comments (Describe any changes made, if applicable)

Yes, pollutants are evaluated annually for both MS4 permit and for the TOG Stormwater Program for Nitrogen Control (Neuse
Rules). Public Education activities and targeted PSAs for each year are reported as part of the Neuse Rules annual report to NCDEQ.
See section 5 of 2021 TOG Stormwater Program for Nitrogen Control annual report for an example. Target pollutants are assessed
annually based on town-wide issues. Some years pet waste has been a major problem, some years fertilizer has been an issue to
name a few. Most recently the Town has seen a growing issue with litter (especially since the Covid-19 pandemic). Education is
always needed for things like proper disposal of household cleaners, oils, fats and greases.

Pet waste bags – These have been distributed for a few years now. During the Covid-19 pandemic, they were given to the animal
control officer to hand out in the community when community events were discontinued. These are specifically targeted to citizens
that have dogs.
Pens with Illicit Discharge hotline/Litter Sweep information – we have a give-a-way pen that has a pullout information pane that
contains information regarding illicit discharges as well as our big and litter sweep volunteer events. These are targeted to both
citizens and business owners since illicit discharges can occur anywhere.
Magnets/stickers – These are given away at all town clean up events and other town events that we participate in and are targeted
towards citizens.
PSAs – These are generated with the Town of Garner communications department based on the most current issue to stormwater.
In the past several years a fertilizer, pet waste, litter and general stormwater PSAs have been created and run on social media, the
Town of Garner website and YouTube pages as well as the Town of Garner cable access channel. Residents, developers and
businesses are all target audiences of these PSAs depending on the pollutant.

All quantities of give-a-ways are reported annually within the MS4 report through the BIMs portal.

APPENDIX A: SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS

Supporting Document Item #1:
Town of Garner MS4 Stormwater Management Plan

Town of Garner — NPDES Stormwater Permit Application
X. Narrative Application Supplement: Stormwater Management Program Report
The following report for activities relating to stormwater management within the
Town of Garner has been prepared for renewal of the issued permit number
NCS000420. The Town of Garner was granted the permit renewal on February 20,
2017 for the purpose of managing stormwater runoff. This report is filed with
the North Carolina Division of Energy, Minerals and Land Resources (NC DEMLR) as
well as the North Carolina Division of Environmental Quality (NC DEQ) and a
matter of public record.
The information presented in this report follows the format established by NC
DEMLR and outlined in their "Instructions for Preparing the Comprehensive
Stormwater Management Report." These instructions outline seven (7) areas of
reporting and this report is segmented into each of those seven areas.
1. STORM SEWER SYSTEM INFORMATION
1.1 Population Served
-Permanent: 35,025
-Basis of Population statistic: July 2021, Town of Garner
-Seasonal: N/A
-Method used to create seasonal estimates: N/A
1.2 Growth Rate: 3.9% per year (based on 2021)
1.3 Jurisdictional and MS4 Service Areas
1.3.1 Jurisdictional Area (square miles): 39
1.3.2 Latitude of Center of MS4 Service Area: 350 64' 18"
Longitude of Center of MS4 Service Area: 780 57' 48"
1.3.3 MS4 Service Area (square miles): 18.2
1.4 MS4 Conveyance System
Describe your system, in narrative, identifying use of pipe, open channels, etc.
to give a general feel for how the system performs and the general condition of
the streams and other water bodies receiving runoff.
The existing MS4 system consists primarily of reinforced concrete pipe with some
corrugated metal pipe as well as some high density polyethylene (HDPE) and
polypropropylene (PP) pipe used in mainly residential and commercial areas.
Most of the storm water enters the system through catch basins and some yard
inlets. There are a lot of residential subdivisions where the existing pipe
system is older and the streams are showing some impact from upstream
development. Most complaints concern heavy erosion on the stream banks and
Section X. Stormwater Management Program Report 1

Town of Garner — NPDES Stormwater Permit Application
occasional flooding of side and backyards. There are not yet many complaints
regarding maintenance of older pipe systems. The Town of Garner completed an
infrastructure study on pipes greater than 36 inches in 2017 to prioritize
replacement of aging infrastructure.
1.4.1 MS4 maintenance activities: Drains are cleaned as needed or identified
during routine operations. After each rain event of approximately 1" or more,
55 locations throughout town are checked for blockage and function. These
locations are typically areas known for periodic flooding. Most cleaning is
manual with occasional flushing required. In addition, some maintenance
activities are done in response to citizen complaints. Major required
maintenance activities, such as upsizing of pipes or stream bank stabilizations,
are put on a list and are completed as the town budget allows.
1.4.2 How many full time equivalent positions are used to provide maintenance
services, annually? On average 3.
1.4.3 How often is the system inspected for maintenance problems? Monthly and
as needed.
1.4.4 Do you clean catch basins, pipes, and other man-made structures? Yes.
1.4.5 What is the frequency of cleaning and the method used? As needed.
Cleaning is manual with occasional flushing required.
1.4.6 What is the annual budget for maintenance activities? Approximately
$171,307 for storm drainage system maintenance.
1.5 Land Use Composition Estimates
Estimated percentage of jurisdictional area containing the following four land
use activities:
Residential: 24 %
Commercial: 6 %
Industrial: 3.3 %
Open Space: 2.7 %
1.6 Estimate Methodology
Describe the methodology used to calculate land use percentages.
The land use percentages were calculated using the land use layer in the Town's
GIS system. The layer was sorted and the percentages were attained based on the
area of each type of land use and the total area of the MS4 jurisdiction. There
was not a place for all of the land uses that exist in the town, so those were
left out of the percentages.
1.7 TMDL Identification
Do you discharge to a TMDL controlled water body? No.

3. EXISTING WATER QUALITY PROGRAMS
3.1 Local Programs
The Town of Garner currently has two programs in place. The Town of Garner
Stormwater Program for Nitrogen Control was implemented in 2001 and updated in
2021. The four minimum measures of this program are new development
review/approval, illegal discharges, retrofit location, and public education.
This program covers the entire jurisdiction, including the ETJ. An updated
document has been sent to NCDEQ/DWR for review to implement updated changes to
the Neuse Rules that will become effective September 2022. The Water Supply
Watershed Protection plan was approved by EMC in 1995. This plan does not cover
the entire jurisdiction, but a smaller area that drains to Lake Benson. The
plan includes low and high -density options for development with payments made
towards the development of a regional retention pond. The Town never built a
regional retention pond, but smaller individual primary SCMs (mostly wet
retention ponds) were built and implemented to meet the fee in -lieu collected
for TSS.
3.2 State Programs
The Town of Garner currently has the NPDES Phase II Program in place, which was
implemented in 2005. The six minimum measures of this program are public
education and outreach, public involvement and participation, illicit discharge
detection and elimination, construction site runoff controls, post -construction
site runoff controls, and pollution prevention and good housekeeping for
municipal operations. This program covers the total area of the MS4
jurisdiction.

and Town of Garner.
g. Other (Nitrogen) - The Town of Garner Stormwater Program for Nitrogen
Control in attachment 4 has a Public Education Action Plan that
addresses nitrogen loading.
h. Illicit connections and discharges.
Write a narrative description of the approach you are going to take in your
outreach program.
The Town of Garner has a Public Education Action Plan in Section 5-B of the Town
of Garner Stormwater Program for Nitrogen Control. We continue to participate
in the Clean Water Education Partnership coordinated by the Triangle J Council
of Governments (TJCOG). See agreement between TJCOG and the Town of Garner
located in the supporting documents. We also participate in various educational
opportunities as they arise throughout Town. We have participated in two semi-
annual events that are the Litter Sweep and Big Sweep for the past permit
durations and anticipate continued participation in the future as time and
weather permits. We have also utilized CWEP's stormwater education booth at
various education events in the past. Engineering Department staff works with
the animal control officer for pet waste education and to hand out pet waste
bags. The Town of Garner also produces mass media stormwater education
commercials for the Garner cable access channel, Town of Garner website and
social media (Facebook and Instagram). Stormwater educational give -a -ways are
also awarded to the community during Town events.
Decision Process: Describe the decision process used to create this program
element.
A model Neuse Stormwater Program for Nitrogen Control was developed by the State
of North Carolina in conjunction with local governments. The NPDES phase II
rules were used as the basis for the model plan. The Town of Garner Stormwater
Program for Nitrogen Control was based on the model program.
7.2 Public Involvement and Participation
Are you going to comply with the public hearing requirement to meet this minimum
control measure? Yes, the Town of Garner met the minimum requirement for a
public hearing at the time of the initial NPDES Phase II application permit
process. The public hearing was held on February 18, 2003. The Town of Garner
also works with the Clean Water Education Partnership to schedule education
Section X. Stormwater Management Program Report 9

Town of Garner — NPDES Stormwater Permit Application
participation events for the community. Sometimes these events happen at Town of
Garner Sponsored events and sometimes they are independent events.
Describe the Public Notice Process including the name and title of the person
responsible for compliance.
The Town of Garner holds two Town Council Meetings on the first Monday and the
third Tuesday of each month. A Town Council Work session is also held if
necessary, on the last Tuesday of the month. All of the meetings are public;
however, no decisions are made at worksessions. Public hearings must be
advertised for at least 10 days prior to the Town Council meeting when the
public hearing will be held. The person who is responsible for compliance with
legal notices is Stella Gibson, Town Clerk. A copy of the notice of public
hearing is included in attachment 6 along with the Resolution No. (2003) 1790
authorizing submittal of the permit application in attachment 7.
7.3 Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
7.3.1 Storm Sewer System Map: Describe how you are going to complete a storm
sewer system map of outfall locations. (What sources of information will you
use? What form will the map take (digital, paper map)? What method will you
use to verify the accuracy of the locations? Will you do field verification and
if so, will you use any specific technology? How will you update the map, once
data collection begins? Who will keep the map current? Where will the map be
located within the organization for the public to view or review if desired?
The storm sewer system map was developed with initial criteria and every year
starting in 2003, approximately 950 of the system has been mapped with
additional information. See section 3-B of the Town of Garner Stormwater Program
for Nitrogen Control for further information on how and when the storm sewer
system map is being developed. The map is in digital form and paper maps can be
created upon request. Past summer interns have been used to verify the existing
storm sewer system in the town limits. A summer intern was used in 2002 to
verify potential outfalls in the ETJ. 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.
7.3.2 Regulatory Mechanism
Do you have an ordinance in place that prohibits non-stormwater from your
drainage system? Yes.
Does it also address illegal dumping or illicit connections to the drainage
system? Does it define what is allowable in the storm drainage system? Does it
describe enforcement actions? Does it give you right of entry on to private
property to inspect and/or remove an illicit connection? If you answer no to
any of the above detailed questions, you need to update your ordinance and
include those pieces that are missing. Yes.
7.3.3 Enforcement Actions
Describe the methodology you will use to take enforcement actions needed when
you find an illicit connection. Include the process you will follow if
different from the method of adopting or amending your current ordinance.
Section X. Stormwater Management Program Report 10

Town of Garner - NPDES Stormwater Permit Application
Town personnel continue to locate illicit connections through field screening,
proactive inspections on known offenders or public involvement. The offenders
have been cited and will continue to be cited until action is taken to remove
the illicit connection or discharge. See Sec. 17-97 of the Stormwater Discharge
Ordinance in attachment 4 for further information.
7.3.4 Detection and Elimination
Describe the plan you are going to follow to find and eliminate illicit
connections. Address spills and illegal dumping controls as well. Include
procedures for locating high priority areas in the community; procedures for
tracing the source of an illicit connection; procedures for removing the
discharge and procedures for program evaluation and assessment.
High priority areas that consist of 10% of the jurisdiction have been delineated
for each year. Older areas of town were targeted as the first high priority
areas because they were often developed without sanitary sewer. Accordingly,
there are more opportunities for illegal connections where sanitary sewer was
added to existing development. A field screening process continues to be used
to locate discharges or connections and if the source of the illicit connection
cannot be determined visually or traced to the source then chemical testing is
performed. Once the source has been identified enforcement action will take
place. So far 1000 of the Town has been field screened for illicit connections.
There have been several discharges that have been tested, but no illicit
connections have been found to date. Since the Town has completed 1000 of the
field screening, the high priority areas have started to be field screen over
again. New ETJ and town limits have been incorporated into the high priority
outfall areas as well as all new developments and new pipe systems mapped in our
GIS system. The program continues to be evaluated as it goes and parts of the
program that are not working will be assessed for changes. See section 3-C and
3-D of the Town of Garner Stormwater Program for Nitrogen Control for additional
information.
7.3.5 How will you find illicit connections?
See section 3-D of the Town of Garner Stormwater Program for Nitrogen Control.
7.3.6 How will you address spills, within your own operation and within the
community?
Spills or leaks of polluting substances discharged to or having the potential to
be indirectly transported to the stormwater conveyance system, shall be
contained, controlled, collected, and removed promptly. Our Public Works
Department is trained annual on spill prevention and response for minor spills
and directed to call 911 for any major spills. All affected areas shall be
restored to their preexisting condition. See Sec.17-96(c) of the Stormwater
Discharge Ordinance for additional information.
7.3.7 How will you eliminate an illicit connection or discharge?
See Section 3-D of the Town of Garner Stormwater Program for Nitrogen Control
and Sec. 17-96(b) of the Stormwater Discharge Ordinance in Appendix E of the
Town of Garner Stormwater Program for Nitrogen Control.
7.3.8 How will you evaluate your program and make changes over time?
Section X. Stormwater Management Program Report 11

Town of Garner - NPDES Stormwater Permit Application
Screening reports are maintained on file and are used to develop and maintain a
map that includes the following information: points of identified illegal
discharges, watershed boundaries of the outfalls where illegal discharges have
been identified, and an accompanying table that summarizes the illegal
discharges that have been identified that includes location, a description of
pollutant(s) identified, and removal status.
7.3.9 How will the following discharges be categorized?
Illicit or Allowable
1. Water line flushing: Allowable
2. Landscape irrigation: Allowable
3. Diverted stream flows: Allowable
4. Rising ground waters: Allowable
5. Uncontaminated ground water infiltration (as defined at 40 CFR
§35.2005(20)): Allowable
6. Uncontaminated pumped ground water: Allowable
7. Discharges from potable water sources: Allowable
8. Foundation drains: Allowable
9. Air conditioning condensation: Allowable
10. Irrigation water: Allowable
11. Springs: Allowable
12. Water from crawl space pumps: Allowable
13. Footing drains: Allowable
14. Lawn watering: Allowable
15. Individual residential car washing: Allowable
16. Flows from riparian habitats and wetlands: Allowable
17. Dechlorinated swimming pool discharges: Allowable
18. Street wash water: Allowable
Are there other incidental discharges that you will define as NON-STORMWATER and
ILLICIT for purposes within your community? If yes, describe them and how you
will address them in your program. No.
7.3.10 Public Outreach: How will you inform the public and your employees about
the hazards of illicit connections and illegal dumping? This activity should be
coordinated with your Public Education Program and your Good Housing Keeping
Program.
We have set up a website to inform the public about illicit connections and
illegal dumping. The website also includes the hotline number as well an email
address for the public to report any illicit discharges. We also have sent
information to local businesses in the past that have the potential to be likely
sources of illegal discharges and plan to do that again later this year. Clean
Water Education Partnership also is working to generate education material to
business owners regarding illicit discharges. Also, stormwater give -a -ways
incorporate and promote the illicit discharge hotline and email address, have
been distributed at various educational events and are available at Town Hall.
During the pandemic, the Town of Garner Animal Control Officer distributed pet
waste bags to dog owners in town and provided pet waste education that he had
direct interaction with in lieu of our canceled town events. As we review site
plans, we also evaluate potential illicit discharges and/or connections and
discuss them with the property owner. See Section 3-E. of the Town of Garner
Stormwater Program for Nitrogen Control for more information.
We also conduct training for town staff on detecting and reporting illicit
discharges on an annual basis.
Section X. Stormwater Management Program Report 12

Town of Garner — NPDES Stormwater Permit Application
7.3.11 Program Approach: Describe how you developed your program approach to
illicit discharge elimination. How did you choose your BMPs and your measurable
goals?
The Town of Garner Stormwater Program for Nitrogen Control was taken from the
model Neuse Stormwater Program for Nitrogen Control that was developed by the
State with input from other municipalities within the Neuse River Basin. As BMP
standards change with guidance from NCDEMLR/NCDEQ, we constantly update and
change our requirements to meet those of NCDEMLR/NCDEQ.
7.3.12 Measurable Goals: Explain how you will evaluate the success of your
program. What are the measurable goals for each BMP?
Ten percent of the town limits and ETJ is field screened every year beginning in
2003 and the entire jurisdiction has been completed. Although no illicit
connections or illegal discharges were found, the Town of Garner has continued
to investigate these areas in town on a yearly basis.
A database continues to be maintained for the Illicit Discharge Hotline/email
and calls to Town Hall, which includes the complaint and any action taken.
We will continue to contact local businesses that, by the nature of their
operation, have the potential to be a likely source of illegal discharges.
Maintain the Illegal Discharge Ordinance that is used to enforce the program.
Continue to develop and maintain the stormwater outfall maps in accordance with
the Town of Garner Stormwater Program for Nitrogen Control.
Continue to train and educate all Public Works employees as well as Engineering
Department employees on illicit discharge detection and elimination practices.
7.4 Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control
Are you going to use the State Sediment and Erosion Control program to comply
with this minimum control measure? Yes.
If yes, who is responsible for the program in your community? Wake County
Provide contact information on the local program if it is delegated. If
another local jurisdiction provides this program for your community, attach the
interagency agreement that delineates responsibilities.
Resolution No. (1975) 378 is included as attachment 3.
7.5 Post Construction Stormwater Management in New Development and Re-
development
Do you currently have development standards that address stormwater management
on new or redevelopment projects that disturb more than one acre of property?
Yes.
Are your standards in an ordinance or other regulatory format that requires plan
reviews, long-term maintenance, and use of BMPs for water quality controls?
Yes.
Section X. Stormwater Management Program Report 13

Town of Garner - NPDES Stormwater Permit Application
Describe current program and how it meets the requirements of the Permit. How
does it address non-structural controls?
Section 2 of the Town of Garner Stormwater Program for Nitrogen Control
addresses new development review and approval. Plans are reviewed if they
disturb greater than 1 acre of land for single family, duplex residential
development or recreational facilities. For multifamily residential development
and commercial, industrial or institutional facilities, review is required if
they disturb greater than 0.5 acres of land. Plans are reviewed for riparian
buffers and nitrogen reduction. Either SCMs are installed to reduce nitrogen or
offset payments are made to applicable private mitigations banks. In the event
that there are no private mitigation credits available, payments are then made
to the North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services.
Also, there must be no net increase in peak flow leaving the site from
predevelopment conditions for the 1-year, 24-hour storm. On top of these
requirements, the Town of Garner also requires peak flow reduction for the 10-
year and 25-year storm and in some circumstances the 100 year storm. For
additional information see section 2-D of the Town of Garner Stormwater Program
for Nitrogen Control.
The Town of Garner Stormwater Program for Nitrogen Control also addresses non-
structural controls in sections 2-G and 2-H. The non-structural controls
include land use planning provisions and jurisdiction -wide and inter -local
approaches that could potentially be used for new development and re -development
activities.
The Town of Garner also addresses watershed water supply protection rules. Any
development that is located within the watershed water supply area that drains
to Lake Benson and is over 12% is required to implement a primary stormwater
control measure for 85% TSS removal. These SCMs can also be used to treat
nitrogen as listed above. Development is capped at 70% impervious surface with
stormwater control measures in the watershed water supply. If development is
located in the critical area, any development over 6% requires a primary
stormwater control measure to treat impervious surface.
How does it address structural controls?
Structural controls are used to reduce nitrogen export and for peak flow
attenuation. For residential development structural SCMs must be used to
achieve a nitrogen export of 6.0 lbs/ac/yr or less and for commercial/industrial
developments the nitrogen export must be no greater than 10.0 lbs/ac/yr. Once
these numbers are attained, structural SCMs can also be used to reach the 3.6
lbs/ac/yr limit as an alternative to the offset payment. Dry detention ponds
are most often used for peak flow attenuation on sites that pay the offset
payment instead of using SCMs for nitrogen control.
See Table 2b: SCM Types, TN Removal Rates and Design Standards in the Town of
Garner Stormwater Program for Nitrogen Control for more information.
Describe your maintenance program, including enforcement mechanism.
The maintenance of any SCM installed to achieve nitrogen loading and/or flow
attenuation requirements for a development shall be the responsibility of the
property owner or other identified responsible party. SCMs are inspected on an
annual basis by Town of Garner staff. The property owner/responsible party have
Section X. Stormwater Mana;ement Program Report 14

Town of Garner - NPDES Stormwater Permit Application
ninety days to correct all deficiencies and make all repairs. Failure to
satisfactorily complete the repairs will cause the SCM to be declared a nuisance
and abatement of the nuisance will proceed as provided for in the Garner Town
Code. In general, the Town of Garner has about an 90% compliance rate and has
brought SCMs into compliance with cooperating property owners. Staff works in
conjunction with these property owners to ensure maintenance is completed and
that the stormwater SCM is working as originally designed and approved. See
section 2-F and Appendix C of the Town of Garner Stormwater Program for Nitrogen
Control for additional information.
Describe your plan review process.
When the Town receives a plan, the parcel is first checked within the GIS system
to see if there are any water features on the property. If a water feature
shows up on GIS (based on the soils map) then it is checked to see if a buffered
stream feature is located on the plans. If no feature is shown on the plans,
then the property owner must provide documentation from the State that the water
feature does not exist and/or is not subject to a buffer.
The Town next reviews nitrogen calculations and enters them into an excel
spreadsheet. The nitrogen calculations are compared to the site plan and
checked for accuracy. The design for any SCM used for nitrogen reduction is also
checked for accuracy. Calculations are updated accordingly with subsequent plan
submittals and changes to the site.
If this site is located within the watershed water supply area of town, the
amount of impervious surface on the plans is checked and ensured that any
development over 12% (6% for the critical area) is directed for treatment
through a primary SCM device. The cap of 70% for these areas is also checked
within the plans.
Peak flow attenuation is also checked as part of the review. Stormwater
detention calculations for the 1, 10, 25 and sometimes the 100 year storm events
are compared with the SCM design on the site plan and checked for accuracy.
Overall drainage of the site is checked and ensured to be in compliance with all
Town of Garner UDO requirements.
Of all your current practices and strategies, list the ones that will be used as
on -going BMPs under this permit.
All of the current practices and strategies will be maintained under this
permit. The Town of Garner ensures that all publically and privately owned SCMs
that are reviewed, implemented and maintained within the Town are in accordance
with the approved and most current NCDEQ Stormwater Best Practices/SCMs Manual
and the Minimum Design Criteria (MDCs).
Do you have requirements for structural BMPs to control stormwater on site for
new or redevelopment activities to control water quality? Yes.
Describe the regulatory mechanism, those controls and how they were selected?
The Town of Garner uses an ordinance as the regulatory mechanism, and the
controls were selected in conjunction with DEQ.
Do you have a regulatory mechanism to address post -construction controls for
water quality? Yes.
Section X. Stormwater Management Program Report 15

Town of Garner - NPDES Stormwater Pen -nit Application
Describe the regulatory mechanism and why you chose that process.
As a Neuse NSW community, the Town of Garner must implement the Neuse Stormwater
Program for Nitrogen Control. The program currently addresses post -construction
controls for water quality for the town limits and the ETJ. The Neuse
Stormwater Program for Nitrogen Control is based on NPDES Phase II requirements.
If yes you have standards to control water quality, is long-term maintenance
required and how is it regulated? If no, describe how you will incorporate
maintenance requirements. If no long-term maintenance strategy is included in
your program, describe the process you will use to establish a long-term
maintenance strategy and the schedule you will follow.
Yes, long-term maintenance is required. During plan review, developers are
required to fill out an operations and maintenance agreement that will be then
be recorded along with a memorandum of agreement with Wake County Registry of
Deeds. This serves as their maintenance plan. The Town of Garner will continue
to annually inspect SCMs as staff are able to and require maintenance to be
performed if the SCM is not functioning properly. For privately owned SCMs,
inspections are performed, and the property owner is given ninety (90) days to
provided necessary maintenance. Publicly owned SCMs are on a quarterly contract
and annually inspected for any repairs that are necessary other than routine
maintenance. These are then budgeted for repair within the next fiscal year. See
section 2-F of the Town of Garner Stormwater Program for Nitrogen Control for
information on how it is regulated.
Describe the process you followed in determining your plan of action for this
minimum control measure.
The Town of Garner Stormwater Program for Nitrogen Control was taken from the
model Neuse Stormwater Program for Nitrogen Control that was developed by the
State with input from other municipalities within the Neuse River Basin. The
Neuse Stormwater Program for Nitrogen Control is based on NPDES Phase II
requirements.
What are your priority areas? Jurisdictional areas targeted for reduction in
nitrogen loading. Watershed water supply area is targeted for 85% Total
Suspended Solids removal.
What conditions exist in your community that are unique or require tailored
Burps? All areas are subject to NSW and/or the watershed water supply.
Describe your measurable goals and evaluation process.
The Town has established and implemented an inspection program for SCM
maintenance, which will continue to be conducted on an annual basis. A database
was set up to track inspections and results.
Identify and track SCMs that require repairs or remedial work.
Engage Wake County regarding on -site wastewater treatment systems. Town of
Garner will work with Wake County to distribute educational material.
Maintain Stormwater Discharge Ordinance that is used to enforce the program.
Section X. Stormwater Management Program Report 16

Town of Garner — NPDES Stormwater Permit Application
We have implemented the approved Nutrient Management Plan for municipal
operations.
7.6 Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
Is your community a certified Environmental Management System community?
Describe your program. No.
What are you currently doing that could be considered as BMp strategies under
the Permit? List measures and check to indicate that you are going to use these
to comply with the permit requirements.
Currently, there are procedures in place for cleaning up unexpected spills.
Also, the vehicle fueling area, vehicle maintenance area, and the equipment
storage areas are all covered to prevent contamination of stormwater. The Town
of Garner also performs regular street sweeping activities on all Town
maintained streets as well as some NCDOT roads and Town owned parking lots.
Storm drains are also cleaned out when reported as clogged.
List the municipal operations that will be impacted by this measure.
Vehicle maintenance and washing areas and equipment storage areas will be
impacted.
List the municipal operations that must have a separate Industrial NPDES permit.
Vehicle maintenance, fueling and repair facility for transportation vehicles
(public transit, ambulances, school buses, dump trucks, garbage haulers, parks
vans for special activities such as programs for the elderly, boat maintenance).
Drainage system maintenance: Describe your procedures for controlling floatable
and other pollutants from the drainage system. If you do not have a plan, how
will you address this in your permit?
Our street sweeper operates approximately 150 days per year. We spend about
2,500 man hours per year picking up litter off of Town ROW.
Describe your procedures for maintenance of the drainage system including
inspection of the system. If you do not have a plan, how will you address this
in your permit?
Drains are cleaned as needed or identified during routine operations. After
each rain event of approximately 1" or more, approximately 68 locations
throughout town are checked for blockage and function.
Describe controls for reducing pollutants from parking lots, storage yards,
waste transfer stations, outdoor storage areas at vehicle maintenance shops,
salt storage and snow disposal areas. If you do not have a plan, how will you
address this in your permit?
All material and equipment storage areas and vehicle maintenance areas are
covered. The vehicle washing area is covered and drains to the oil/water
separator on site and to add secondary containment for an oil storage container
adjacent to the building. There are also procedures in place to clean up any
unexpected oil spills that occur outside of the vehicle maintenance area,
including around the vehicle fueling area.
Section X. Stormwater Management Program Report 17

Town of Garner — NPDES Stormwater Permit Application
Describe your procedures for the proper disposal of waste removed from your
drainage system? If you do not have a plan, how will you address this in your
permit?
Any waste removed from the drainage system is temporarily stored on the Public
Works site until it can be removed and disposed of at the landfill.
What are your procedures to incorporate water quality controls within flood
management projects? If you do not currently consider this in your program of
flood management, how will you address this in your permit?
We do not currently have any flood management projects. It is our understanding
that water quality controls within flood management projects would be in -stream
and therefore discouraged by the State.
Describe how you developed your pollution prevention plan for this permit. What
important factors did you consider?
To develop our pollution prevention plan we looked at several areas at our
existing facility where we could potentially improve pollution prevention. We
also chose BMPs to implement based on requirements of the industrial permit that
we are also required to submit for our vehicle maintenance facility.
What are your measurable goals and how will you evaluate them?
Continue to inspect vehicle washing and fueling operations to ensure they are in
good working order twice a year (spring and fall) and that they minimize
exposure of stormwater to chemicals, fuels, and other liquids. Continue to
report on findings.
Continue to annually inspect all materials storage facilities to determine
priority for reducing exposure to stormwater. Continue to report on sites
inspected and actions taken.
Evaluate spill response program for in-house activities as well as community
response and adjust as needed to ensure highest potential for minimizing impacts
on stormwater. Implement any recommended changes and report on findings and
strategies.
Continue to evaluate used oil recycling program for equipment and vehicle
maintenance program within organization. Implement any recommended changes and
report results.
Continue requiring licensure of employees that spray pesticides and other
chemicals. Report on number of employees trained and what subjects were
covered.
Continue to train and educate all Public Works
practices, spill response procedures, illicit
prevention items as well as SCM maintenance.

I. Introduction
On March 9, 2001, the Town of Garner began implementation of rules required by the Neuse River Basin
Stormwater Program for Nitrogen Control. The rules require that four general elements must be addressed as part
of a local government stormwater management plan. These four general elements are as follows:
• New Development Review/Approval
• Illegal Discharges
• Retrofit Locations
• Public Education
2. New Development Review/Approval
The Town of Garner proposed (and on track for approval) and approved twenty (20) new development projects,
zero (0) modifications to existing development and five (5) residential subdivisions between July 1, 2020 and
June 30, 2021 that were subject to the Neuse River Basin Stormwater Program for Nitrogen Control. Those
numbers have been updated accordingly for each new development. Of the total twenty-six projects, three were
proposed residential subdivisions. Two of the modifications were made to previous projects that already had
reporting data in the new development spreadsheets. Two (2) new development projects were parcels that were
included in overall subdivision plans that had already reported their nitrogen numbers at final build out. These
spreadsheets were updated for this report if there were any changes to the original numbers as part of these
developments.
2-A. New Development and Impervious Surface
Per the Town of Garner Stormwater Program for Nitrogen Control, existing impervious surfaces shall not be
included when calculating land disturbance area or nitrogen export. The following tables both summarize data
prior to July 1, 2020, and for the current reporting year of July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021. Table 1 and 2 list
the total new development area, the post -development impervious area, and the impervious surface added for the
new development projects that used Method 1 and Method 2, respectively. Table 3 lists the total site area, the
post -development impervious area and the impervious surface added for the modifications to existing
development.
Tables I through 3 are all based on plan approvals and submitted proposed plans within this reporting year that
are on track for approval. The data has been reviewed since the last annual report and corrected to better
represent the projects developed to date. A large undeveloped project from the Method 1 data was removed that
was undeveloped and data has been updated. Please note that some developments include a mix of townhomes
and single family homes, which is broken out respectively into Method 1 and Method 2 calculations.

2-B. Computed Baseline and Net Change
As a part of the annual reporting requirements, a nitrogen baseline must be determined for all projects. This
baseline is calculated by determining the total nitrogen export based upon predeveloped land uses using the
following export loading rates:
Land Use Type
Forest Land
Pasture
Residential
Commercial/Industrial
Cropland
Nitrogen Export lbs/ae/ r
1.7
4.4
7.5
13.0
13.6
The export loading rates for the various land uses are multiplied by the number of acres for each of these land
types and then added together to determine the total nitrogen export in pounds/year. The net change is the
difference between the post -development N load before SCMs or offset payments and after SCMs applied. Table
4 and 5 list the computed baseline and net change for new development projects that used Method 1 and Method
2, respectively. Table 6 lists the computed baseline and net change for the modifications to existing development.

• One project proposed a stormwater wetland only.
• One project proposed a combination of underground detention system and a Contech Stormfilter.
• One project proposed two (2) underground detention systems.
• One project proposed a combination of a wet retention pond and a sandfilter.
2-D. Summary of Offset Fees
In addition, nineteen (19) of the new development projects (including the two (2) previously submitted projects
under a subdivision cover) were required to make an offset payment for nitrogen reduction and two (2) of the
residential subdivisions were required to make an offset payment for nitrogen reduction. Fourteen (14) projects
remain unpaid and either not approved yet or undeveloped/have yet to receive a building permit to date. Two (2)
new development projects were part of existing subdivision plans that had previously paid a nitrogen offset fee for
total build out. Table 7 lists the nitrogen load reduction purchased through Division of Mitigation Services or
private mitigation banks in pounds for both the period prior to July 1, 2020 and for the current reporting year of
July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021. Table 7 does not include fees that have not been paid to date. Totals reflect
the addition of projects reported in previous year reports that paid within this year reporting year.

2-E. Maintenance Activities Conducted on SCMs
A yearly SCM inspection program was implemented during the 2006-2007 reporting year. Engineering staff
continued to inspect all town and privately owned SCM. During this reporting year, two hundred and one (201)
SCM sites were inspected. Twenty-one (21) of the SCM sites required some type of maintenance during this
reporting year. Letters were sent to the responsible party to inform them of the maintenance requirements. Of the
twenty-one (21) sites that required maintenance, seventeen (17) sites were maintained within the reporting year.
Four (4) of the sites responsible parties have agreed to comply with maintenance as soon as they are able to and
weather permits. Engineering Department staff is currently in the process of locating property owners and
working with legal council on outstanding maintenance sites from the previous reporting years that have not
completed maintenance.
2-F. SCM Failures
There were no SCM failures during the reporting period.
3. Illegal Discharges
3-A. High Priority Area 2020-2021 Field Screening
Garner mapped and screened the seventh high priority area again during reporting season. Thirty-three (33)
outfalls were identified and were screened. No illicit connections or discharges were detected during the
screening period at any outfall.
3-B. High Priority Area 2021-2022 Selection
During the upcoming reporting season, we will re-evaluate and rescreen the eighth high priority area that was
previously mapped. A map of the eighth high priority area is attached as Appendix A.
3-C. Illegal Discharge Prevention and Hotline
The Town of Garner continued to operate the Illicit Discharge Hotline. Between July 1, 2020 and June 30, 2021,
the Town of Garner received eight (8) illicit discharge complaints. The following is a list of the complaints and
the results of the follow-up investigations:
Public Works complained that a resident had overflowing drums of oil and antifreeze in their yard that
had potential to make it into the storm drain system. Upon inspection, drums were not overflowing and
had proper covers on them. No contarnination was found on the ground or surrounding area. No illicit
discharge found.
A business owner complained that a pet business adjacent to their property was draining dog wash water
onto their property. Upon inspection, no clear discharge was observed. Swimming pools are allowed to be
discharged per our ordinance, however NCDEQ frowns upon this discharge so the property owner was
informed that releasing this pool wash water- could be considered an illicit discharge once the Town's
ordinance changes in the future. No illicit discharge found.
A resident complained that the apartment complex on the other side of the creek behind their house was
dumping furniture into the creek. Upon inspection, miscellaneous furniture items had been dumped on
creek bank beside the dumpster. Apartment complex was issued an illicit dumping notice of violation.
7

Apartment cleaned np furniture and removed all debris from stream bank and a notice of compliance was
issued.
• A resident complained of trash in the creek behind their property. Upon inspection, some trash was found,
but no evidence of where it came from or who the responsible party was for the dump. No illicit discharge
detected.
• A resident complained of a sanitary sewer overflow from their apartment. Upon inspection, no odor was
found, some discharge that had a sheen on it was observed. Water was tested and no nitrates were found.
This water was most likely groundwater that had come up from a high water table due to large amounts of
rain located in this low lying area of the resident's apartment. No illicit discharge found.
• A resident complained of an illicit discharge at the property beside their residence. Upon inspection,
water was found standing in the ditch that had no odor or color that appeared to be an illicit discharge.
There was a broken driveway pipe at this residence and poor drainage due to broken pipe. Spoke with
property owner who said NCDOT was going to fix the pipe to create better drainage. No illicit discharge
was found.
• A business owner reported a hydraulic fluid spill at a local restaurant. Spill was reported and cleaned up.
Notice of Violation letter was issued to the business owner.
• A resident observed a company washing vehicles in a business parking lot. Upon inspection, no one was
found in the business's parking lot and no evidence of water was found in the parking lot as well. No
illicit discharge detected.
4. Retrofit Locations
Based upon our current population, Garner must identify a minimum of two (2) retrofit sites each year. Sites may
be carried over to meet the minimum requirement for up to two additional years provided that BMPs/retrofits
have not been implemented and the site continues to meet the required criteria.
4-A. CVS Pharmacy
The CVS Pharmacy site that was mentioned in the 2019-2020 Annual Report continues to be a viable option for a
retrofit within the Town of Garner. For more information on this site, please refer to the information in Table 8 in
the above -mentioned report.
4-B. Faith Alliance Church
The Faith Alliance Church site is currently owned by the Cary Alliance Church has a dry detention pond in the
back of its property and is upstream of Lake Benson located on Aversboro Road. This pond was developed in the
early 2000s for water quantity and in conjunction with a grass swale for TSS and nitrogen removal. This
stonnwater BMP has been identified as a candidate for a retrofit into a wet retention pond, which may be suitable
at this site for more nitrogen and TSS removal.

5. Public Education
The Neuse Stormwater Rule requires that a Public Education Action Plan be developed and administered as a part
of Garner's plan. Based upon our current population (over than 30,000), the Education Action Plan must
consist of at least two of the activities from each of the two categories listed in Table 5a of the Town of Garner
Stonnwater Program for Nitrogen Control. In lieu of these activities Garner, in cooperation with other affected
local governments, may choose to use effective major media advertising to satisfy the public education
requirements.
5-A. Annual Action Plan
The following public education activities were completed between July 1, 2020 and June 30, 2021 for the Public
Education component of the Town of Garner Stonnwater Program for Nitrogen Control. In person education and clean
up events were not perfonned during this period due to Covid-19. This eliminated our fall and spring litter sweep as well
as a library education event planned by a CWEP representative.
The Town of Garner continued to participate in CWEP, which is a regional stormwater education and
awareness program that included TV and radio ad campaigns, a brochure, and a website. A copy of the
CWEP Fiscal Year 2020-2021 is attached as Appendix B.

Hello Jaclyn,
I did reach out to the library, but their in -person programming is still on hiatus. We may partner for a program in the
spring, depending on their staff capacity for restarting in -person events. Please don't hesitate to reach out if there are
any events in the spring you'd like to see CWEP represented at.
Hope you're doing well and have a great Friday!

Hi Jaclyn,
Unfortunate timing on my part! I'll certainly look into a library visit, and loop you back in once I've made contact and
hopefully scheduled something. If you think of anything in the meantime, I'm all ears.
Thanks!

Hello Caroline! We unfortunately just completed our litter sweep last weekend on 9/25. A library visit may be
a best bet, we have a Wake County operated on located in Garner on 7th avenue. We do not have any major
events other than Christmas parade coming up. The spring may have more better opportunities though!

Hello Jaclyn,
I'm Caroline, the new stormwater education coordinator with the Clean Water Education Partnership. I may
be a bit late on this, but is Garner still conducting litter clean-ups in October for the Big Sweep? If so, I would
be happy to help facilitate an event, if that would be helpful. If not, I would also be happy to be a work on
organizing a one-off cleanup sometime this fall, engaging students, scouts, or other folks in the public as
desired, or generally be a resource for organizing and running the clean-ups you conduct in the spring as well.
CWEP also does other kinds of education visits, which I could work on scheduling if you'd like. Since every
community has different COVID restrictions in place, these are some of the kinds of visits we're doing at the
moment:
• library visits - virtual or outdoor water -related storytime, arts & crafts
• classroom visits - virtual lesson or coordinate with teachers to provide materials and lesson plans for
clean water lessons that they could implement in -person
• parks & rec - local litter clean-up or guided stream walk
• festivals - if you have a major event this year, CWEP can set up a table with educational materials and
giveaways

I'm looking forward to working with you!
Warmly,
Caroline Wofford (she/her)

7.2. Stormwater management.
Commentary. The Stormwater management provisions apply seven sets of rules, covering the areas of erosion control, stormwater quantity,
conservation or protected buffers, nitrogen reduction, water supply, watershed protection, environmentally sensitive watershed protection and floodplain
management. Often, more than one element will apply to an individual property. Questions about the application of these provisions should be discussed
with the Town Engineer.
A. Application to existing development.
1. Existing structures which become nonconforming with respect to watershed regulation by the adoption of this UDO are not
affected unless and until there is a repair or expansion of or reconstruction of such structure .
2. Existing structures which become nonconforming with respect to watershed regulation by the adoption of this UDO may be
repaired or reconstructed without a stormwater permit or watershed protection occupancy permit provided that there is no net
increase in impervious surface .
3. Existing structures , whether conforming or nonconforming, may be added to or expanded without a stormwater permit or
watershed protection occupancy permit provided there is no net increase in impervious surface .
4. In determining whether there is additional impervious surface area, and in determining the best management practices to be
utilized in watershed protection in connection with an addition or expansion to an existing structure , the built -upon area of the
existing development is to be excluded from any density calculations which are required to be performed.
Commentary. This means, for example, that the owner of an existing lot may build on up to 70 percent of the remaining pervious surface, rather than
the 70 percent limitation being applied to the entire lot including pre-existing development.
B. Erosion and sedimentation control.
1. A permit shall be obtained from the Wake County Erosion Control Inspector before a developer undertakes any land
disturbing activity that would result in the uncovering of 40,000 square feet or more, and that no such permit may be issued for any
development that would uncover 40,000 square feet or more until an erosion and sedimentation control plan is submitted and
approved, provided, that this section does not apply to activity under the exclusive jurisdiction of the North Carolina Sedimentation
Control Commission is exempt from these requirements.
2. No use permit may be issued or final plat approval be given for any development that would cause land disturbing activity
subject to the jurisdiction of Wake County Erosion Control Inspector or the North Carolina Sedimentation Control Commission unless
such inspector or agency has certified to the Town that:
a. Any permit required by such inspector or agency has been issued or any erosion control plan required by such inspector or
agency has been approved; or
b. Upon examination of the preliminary plans for the development it appears that any required permit or erosion control plan
can be approved upon submission by the developer of more detailed construction or design drawings. However, construction of the
development may not begin until such inspector or agency issues any required permit or approves any required erosion control plan.
C. Stormwater quantity.
1. Stormwater management; relation to adjacent properties. No development shall unreasonably burden adjacent properties
with surface waters as a result of such development, including specifically the following:
a. No development may be constructed or maintained so that such development unreasonably impedes the natural flow of
water from higher to lower properties, thereby causing substantial damage to such higher properties; and
b. No development may be constructed or maintained so that surface waters from such development are unreasonably
collected or diverted onto lower properties, thereby causing substantial damage to lower properties.
2. Stormwater runoff design standards.
a. To the extent practicable, all development shall conform to the natural contours and drainage patterns (watersheds ) of the
land, and retain existing patterns of flow;
b. To the extent practicable, lot boundaries shall be made to coincide with natural drainage ways within subdivisions to avoid
the creation of lots that can be built upon only by altering such natural drainage ways;
c. All developments shall have a drainage system adequate to prevent the undue retention of surface water on the
development site. Surface water shall not be regarded as unduly retained if:
(1) The retention results from a deliberate approved sedimentation or storm water run-off control plan.
(2) The retention is not substantially different in location or degree than in the site's development stage, unless such
retention presents a danger to health or safety.
d. No surface water may be channeled or directed into a sanitary sewer;
e. Whenever practicable, drainage systems shall coordinate with and connect to drainage systems or drainage ways on
surrounding properties or streets ; and
f. Drainage swales in subdivisions are provided for in Section 8.2, Streets . Private roads and access ways within
