PART 1: INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Stormwater Management an (SWMP) is to establish and define the
means by which the Town of Wrightsville Beach 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
Wrightsville Beach 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 NCS000445, 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 Wrightsville Beach and located within the
corporate limits of the Town of Wrightsville Beach.
In preparing this SWMP, the Town of Wrightsville Beach 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.

3.8 Non-Stormwater Discharges
The water quality impacts of non-stormwater discharges have been evaluated by the Town of
Wrightsville Beach as summarized in Table 6 below. The unpermitted non-stormwater flows
listed as incidental do not significantly impact water quality. The Town of Wrightsville Beach
has evaluated residential and charity car washing and street washing for possible significant
water quality impacts.
The UNCW Aquaculture Center discharges operational waste from fish growing activities
directly into the Town stormwater system. This water, in turn, flows directly into the SB waters
of Lee's Cut. UNCW possesses a state -issued stormwater permit for this activity.
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 Wrightsville Beach.
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 Wrightsville Beach
to determine whether they may significantly impact water quality.
NCS000445 SWAP
Town of Wrightsville Beach

Vehicle/Vessel Washing: Many residents take their vehicles and trailered boats "off island" to
have washing done at commercial establishments. Some washing of vehicles and boats on
driveways and other impervious surfaces does occur within Wrightsville Beach. This practice
sends soaps, toxins, heavy metals and other chemicals down storm drains and into the local
waterways. Chemicals in car washing soaps, such as phosphates, can contribute to algal blooms
and depletion of dissolved oxygen. Ongoing outreach and education efforts encourage citizens
to wash vehicles on grassy areas or to patronize commercial car washes. (The Wrightsville Beach
Zoning Ordinance does not allow commercial car washes, so the residents must travel to the City
of Wilmington to use this method of cleaning vehicles.)

3.9 Target Pollutants and Sources
In addition to those target pollutants identified above, the Town of Wrightsville Beach is aware of
other significant water quality issues within the permitted MS4 area. These include the non-
stormwater sources listed below:
Trash: Trash and litter are problems in the Wrightsville Beach waterways and necessitate
constant public outreach and education efforts. Plastic and glass bottles, fast food wrappers, and
cigarette butts are the most ubiquitous items of trash collected in stream clean up events. In
addition to aesthetic impacts, trash also has an immediate influence on the storm drainage
system, which can become clogged with debris and result in street and property flooding. Trash
is also a serious threat to local wildlife, which can easily mistake trash for food, ingesting it to their
detriment.
Pet Waste: Pathogens in uncollected pet waste are a threat to human health, aquatic life, and
water quality. Certain bacteria, parasites, and viruses found in pet waste can be transmitted to
other animals and people, especially children. Pathogens in pet waste can contribute to shellfish
area closings, degraded water quality for recreational resources, and human health risks. Pet
waste also contains nutrients that encourage weed and algae growth in water. This nutrient rich
water becomes cloudy, green, unattractive, and unhealthy for recreational activities such as
swimming, boating, and fishing. Enforcement of the Town ordinances and continued education
are necessary to maintain the level of success the Town has achieved.
Application of lawn care products: The application of fertilizers and pesticides is a common
practice, particularly by lawn care companies and single-family households in the spring.
Outreach efforts continue to focus on educating the public that fertilizers contain nutrients, which,
in excess, can wash into area waterways and result in lower dissolved oxygen levels, excessive
weed and algae growth, and impaired aquatic habitat. Education efforts encourage the use of
soil testing kits to determine specific lawn nutrient needs and on saving the consumer money by
spending less on unnecessary fertilization.
Disposal of household chemicals and used oil: Dumping household hazardous chemicals,
cleaners, grease, and automobile fluids into storm drains or ditches are activities that have
occurred in Wrightsville Beach. Dumping these materials can result in waterways with high levels
of pollutants including: heavy metals, toxins, oil, grease, solvents, and nutrients. Elevated
pollutant levels degrade water quality and threaten aquatic life, wildlife, and human health.
Outreach efforts continue to focus on educating the public about the proper disposal methods of
hazardous materials and the impacts of dumping them into storm drains or ditches.
Vehicle/Vessel Washing: This practice sends soaps, toxins, heavy metals and other chemicals
down storm drains and into the local waterways. Chemicals in car washing soaps, such as
phosphates, can contribute to algal blooms and depletion of dissolved oxygen. Ongoing
outreach and education efforts encourage citizens to wash vehicles on grassy areas or to
patronize commercial car washes. (The Wrightsville Beach Zoning Ordinance does not allow
commercial car washes, so the residents must travel to the City of Wilmington to use this method
of cleaning vehicles.)

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
Wrightsville Beach has evaluated schools, homeowners and businesses as target audiences
that are likely to have significant stormwater impacts.
Evaluation of target pollutant sources have determined that litter has the potential to have the
most impact on stormwater quality. The sheer volume of people visiting the Town of
Wrightsville Beach has a tremendous impact on the environment. Heaviest concentration is the
'Downtown business/bar district", Mercer's Pier area, the entire beach, W B Park, other parks,
all parking lots and all streets where there is public parking. All beach access paths are also
significant sources of litter. Pet waste is a concern because of its potential to affect water
quality and the environment in general. Household chemicals, yard debris, lawn care products
are other target pollutants.

PART 8: CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL PROGRAM
In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0153, the Town of Wrightsville Beach 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 Wrightsville Beach
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 Wrightsville Beach
implements the following State post -construction program requirements, which satisfy the
NPDES Phase II MS4 post -construction site runoff control requirements as Qualifying

The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II Stormwater Program is
an effort to preserve, protect, and improve the nation's water resources from polluted runoff.
The program requires the Town of Wrightsville Beach and other municipalities to obtain a
federal stormwater permit. The Town of Wrightsville Beach was issued a permit March 1, 2007.
A requirement of the Town's permit was the adoption of a post construction stormwater
ordinance. The ordinance follows the N.C. Division of Water Quality's Stormwater Model
Ordinance and the Best Management Practices (BMP) Design manual, and was adopted by the
Town of Wrightsville Beach Board of Aldermen on June 28, 2007.
The Town's Phase II Stormwater Ordinance and the accompanying Design Manual are
available upon request from the Stormwater Manager. The ordinance was effective June 28,
2007, and affects all new development and redevelopment which affect 500 square feet or
more.
