Town of Butner Organizational Chart..........................................................................20 Town of Butner DRAFT NCS000544 SWMP Page 1 3 MS4 Butner January 2022 1 Storm Sewer System Information 1.1 Population Served The Town of Butner has a permanent population, according to the 2000 census, of 5,792. The 2009 census estimate is 6,391. The area does not experience a significant seasonal fluctuation in population. 1.2 Growth Rate The population growth rate is estimated to be 2.38% annually. The population grew from 4,679 in 1990 to 5,792 in 2000, based on Census figures, giving a 23.79% change over 10 years, which annualizes to 2.38%. The Town was incorporated only in 2007 and as a part of that incorporation acquired significant new land area and population. Thus, the annualized growth rate, which in part reflects the jump in population that occurred as part of the incorporation, is higher than the growth rate that Butner is likely to experience in future years. 1.3 Jurisdictional and MS4 Service Areas The jurisdictional area of the Town of Butner is 13.79 square miles. The MS4 service area is 13.79 square miles. 1.4 MS4 Conveyance System The storm sewer system for which the Town is responsible primarily comprises roadside ditches along the 14.9 miles of streets that the Town maintains. Less than one mile of the Town's system is piped conveyance. Stormwater is conveyed to receiving streams mainly through ditches. The system's overall condition can be characterized as fair to good. Maintenance is performed primarily on a complaint basis, and no major problems have been identified. 1.5 Land Use Composition Estimates The following table lists the current land use composition estimates for the Town: Tahle 1 L. ind Tice Cmmnncitinn Fctimntec Land use Type % of Town Area Parcels Commercial 2.2 116 Industrial 7.6 57 Residential 16.9 1,585 Open Space 73.2 703 1.6 Estimate Methodology Land use classification was initially based on detailed tax assessor data. This was done by applying the following criteria to the tax data: Town of Butner DRAFT NCS000544 SWMP Page 1 4 MS4 Butner January 2022 • residential — parcels that included at least one bedroom or bathroom and where owner information did not readily indicate that the parcel was a commercial/industrial business; • open space — parcels that had a "building value" of zero; • industrial — parcels that indicated an industrial land use through examinationof ownership and parcel description; • commercial — parcels identified by the tax database as "commercial" properties. These classifications were verified in two ways. First, the land use classification for each parcel was compared against 2008 aerial imagery of the Town. Changes were made to land use classification where the imagery indicated that the initial classification was incorrect. Next, the resulting land use estimates were checked against the estimate used for the Town's Comprehensive Plan. Note that public roads are excluded from the estimate. 1.7 TMDL Identification There are no TMDLs for receiving waters. 2 Receiving Streams The following receiving streams were identified in accordance with the process and criteria stipulated in the instructions for preparing the Stormwater Management Program Report. The Town falls entirely within the Neuse River basin.

Water Supply Watershed Protection rules are in effect for the Falls Reservoir, a WSW -IV class waterbody. Neuse buffers are also required. 3.2 State Programs In Butner, the State erosion and sediment control program is in effect and, for local or state construction, the State stormwater program is implemented. 4 Permitting Information 4.1 Responsible Party Contact List The following table gives the parties responsible for each of the Measurable Goals found in section 7.

Nitrogen and phosphorus are targets for the Town because stormwater runoff in Butner eventually drains to Falls Lake, a drinking water source for the City of Raleigh. The State Division of Water Quality has listed Falls Lake on the Clean Water Act 303(d) list of impaired waters due to chlorophyll -a, a measure of the algal productivity, which is an indicator of nutrient loading. The Falls Water Supply Nutrient Strategy rules (15A NCAC 02B .0275) require Butner to reduce its nitrogen loading to Falls Lake by 40% and phosphorus loading by 77% from a 2006 baseline condition. The goal of these reductions is to improve water quality in the watershed as a whole and to improve water quality in Falls Lake. Sediment is the number one water pollutant, by volume, in North Carolina. Sediment degrades the quality of water for drinking, wildlife, plants, and land by carrying attached pollutants into receiving waters, increasing the turbidity of waters, affecting the habitats of aquatic life, and disrupting the natural hydrology of landscapes, among other effects. Runoff from construction sites has a particularly high concentration of sediment, thus construction site runoff within the Town is of concern. Town of Butner Stormwater Management Program Report Page 1 22 7.1.2 Target Audiences The target audiences for nutrients are the general public, property owners, developers, and construction site operators. Education on the effects of fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides will be used to encourage homeowners and property managers to use these products according to package instructions and to limit their use. The public will also be encouraged to limit energy consumption and vehicle use and will be advised of benefits of servicing and maintaining their on -site wastewater systems. Given the impending Falls rules, the general public, property owners, developers and construction site operators will also be targeted. In addition to providing education about the requirements of the new rules and the effects of excess nutrients on water quality, the Town will provide education about how nutrient load reductions will be accomplished. The specifics of the Town's load reduction program for existing development are yet to be determined, but could include physical changes to developed sites, such as removing impervious surfaces or constructing bioretention areas. Property owners and the general public will be informed of the need for such measures. Developers and construction site operators will face new requirements for new developments, such as meeting nitrogen and phosphorus loading requirements, and they will need information about why the new requirements exist and how they can meet those requirements. Because of its relationship to erosion and sedimentation control, the target audiences for sediment are construction site operators, construction workers, and the general public. Construction site operators and construction workers have opportunities to alter erosion prevention and sediment control practices on their sites, which may lead to a reduction in, or elimination of, sediment releases. The general public may notice releases of sediment and notify the Town by calling a hotline. Providing education to the public and to young people, specifically, on the effects of sedimentation on water quality may increase awareness of the need to protect habitats by preventing sediment contamination. 7.1.3 Outreach Program The Town's outreach program will inform the target audiences about stormwater through a number of mechanisms, including a website, a stormwater hotline, a bill insert to water customers, a brochure for construction workers and construction site operators, a workshop for developers and construction site operators, public meetings, and community events. Using a variety of these mechanisms, the Town will attempt to target all Butner residents through the course of the permit term. The Town will establish a stormwater page on its website, which will feature information about stormwater in general, stormwater pollution, ways that individuals can prevent stormwater pollution, information about the Falls Water Supply Nutrient Strategy and contact/hotline information for the Town. Pictures may be used to illustrate concepts where advantageous. The site will be updated periodically with new information. The stormwater hotline will be an advertised phone number that the public can use to inform Town staff about stormwater pollution issues. Town of Butner Stormwater Management Program Report Page 1 23 The Town will develop a bill insert to provide information to the general public about stormwater. The insert will describe the Falls rules for citizens, the impact individuals can have on stormwater pollution, and ways citizens can become involved in stormwater programs. The Town will work with the South Granville Water and Sewer Authority to distribute this bill insert to water customers. The Town will develop two brochures: one directed at developers, construction workers, and construction site operators and one directed at the general public. Each brochure will provide information about the Falls rules and stormwater pollution. In addition, the brochure for developers and construction workers will discuss how requirements have changed for new development. The Town is a member of the Clean Waters Education Partnership. General stormwater education and outreach will be provided through the partnership. Periodically, Town Council meetings and Town Council workshops will be held in which stormwater is discussed for at least a portion of the meeting. These meetings are open to the public and are advertised as required by public notice requirements. The Town will periodically organize and/or participate in community events relevant to stormwater or water quality, such as stream cleanups. Volunteers will be encouraged to participate. The Town will evaluate its public outreach program annually against the measurable goals described in the table below. The Town will evaluate the success of this minimum measure by the number of individuals reached through volunteer activities, hotline phone calls received, or using other evaluation strategies as indicated by the measurable goals for each of the BMPs.

Attendees will be invited to ask questions or make comments about stormwater and the Town's policies for stormwater management. The Town will initiate a stormwater volunteer program. Volunteers will be invited to assist Town staff in performing stream monitoring and stream cleanups. To satisfy the requirement for a mechanism for public involvement, citizens will be invited to participate in stormwater program development and implementation by providing comments at the public meeting or calling or emailing Michael Ciriello with feedback. The draft plan will be posted on the Town's website with links to an email address for providing feedback. The plan will be advertised on the Town's website. In addition, Town staff will attend meetings of local groups to make presentations related to the stormwater program, accept and address comments on the program, and invite volunteer participation. The public involvement and participation program will be evaluated based on the number of participants and their exposure to public involvement and participation programs. Ideally, this number will increase from year to year.

X 7.3 Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination 7.3.1 Storm Sewer System Map The Town will create a storm sewer system map marking the major outfall locations and the names and locations of receiving waters. The map will be added to the Town's existing GIS database. Data on receiving waters has already been obtained through NCOneMap and will be updated periodically. The storm sewer system map data will be collected in the field using handheld GPS or GPS-enabled laptops. 7.3.2 Regulatory Mechanism The Town's land development ordinance addresses illicit discharges (Section 15.4). Currently, the Town can achieve elimination of some illegal discharges through cooperation with South Granville Water and Sewer Authority. Discharges that are identified through complaints or through the Authority's regular inspections programs can be eliminated through the Authority, as it already regulates illicit discharges related to the potable water and wastewater system. Town of Butner Stormwater Management Program Report Page 1 26 7.3.3 Enforcement The Town does enforce actions related to illicit discharges. See Town of Butner LIDO Section 15.4 7.3.4 Detection and Elimination The Town will establish written procedures for detecting and tracing the sources of illicit discharges and for removing the sources or reporting the sources to the State to be properly permitted. Staff will detect illicit discharges through regular surveillance of outfalls. Additionally, an illicit discharge record will be initiated when citizens, police, or Town staff calls to report a suspicious looking spill. A member of the Public Works staff will follow up on the call in accordance with written procedures. Procedures to identify and report failed septic systems and sanitary sewer overflows will also be developed during the permit term. 7.3.5 Procedures for Locating Priority Areas In the course of staff's regular surveillance of outfalls, staff members will look for outfalls and illegal connections that they have not seen previously, and trace them to their sources. In addition, staff will prioritize older subdivisions for inspections. 7.3.6 Procedures for Tracing the Source To remove the source of an illicit discharge, the staff member will notify the suspected discharger via the NOV process developed indicated in section 7.3.3. 7.3.7 Procedures for Removing the Source To remove the source of an illicit discharge, the staff member will notify the suspected discharger via the NOV process developed indicated in section 7.3.3. 7.3.8 Procedures for IDDE Evaluation In the future, staff plans to collect location data on suspected, identified and/or eliminated illicit discharges using parcel addressing and a Global Positioning System (GPS) device. The data will be kept on the Town's GIS database and examined periodically. This will allow staff to identify any patterns that may be occurring. Town of Butner Stormwater Management Program Report Page 1 27 7.3.9 IDDE Outreach The stormwater hotline will be the primary method used by the Town for the receipt of illicit discharge complaints. The hotline will advertised on the Town website and in the water bill insert described in section 7.1.3. Other mechanisms through which the Town can receive illicit discharge information from citizens include the Town's general information number or email to the appropriate Public Works staff. Public Works staff members will attempt to respond to non -anonymous citizen complaints with one-on-one contact (call, meeting, email, etc.) with the complainant. This is recognized as an opportunity to both gather further information about the suspected discharge, and to educate the complainant about illicit discharge detection and elimination. The hazards of illicit discharges and illegal waste disposal will be addressed in both brochures the Town develops as part of its Public Outreach program and on the Town's stormwater website. 7.3.1 Staff Training The Town will provide training to Public Works staff in the identification of and response to illicit discharges. 7.3.2 Evaluation The illicit discharge detection and elimination program will be evaluated by the number of illicit discharges and the number of repeated illicit discharges found at the same location.

Town of Butner Stormwater Management Program Report Page 1 29 7.4 Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control The Town's erosion prevention and sedimentation control is managed by the state's Erosion and Sedimentation Program under the North Carolina Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973. Requirements for erosion and sediment controls are codified in 15A NCAC Chapter 4. The State also provides the North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design annual, which offers details and procedures for developing site -specific erosion and sedimentation control plans in accordance with the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act and the administrative rules. Table 7 BVIP for Construction Site Storm-vvater Runoff Control BMP Measurable Goals Yr 1 Yr 2 Yr 3 Yr 4 Yr 5 Promote a means for the public to notify the appropriate authorities a) Promote reporting of erosion and of observed erosion and sedimentation problems by promoting the X sedimentation problems existence of the NCDENR, Division of Land Resources "Stop Mud" hotline. 7.5 Post -Construction Stormwater Management: New Development, Redevelopment The Town has adopted North Carolina's Universal Stormwater Management Program (USMP) As such, the Town has adopted the USMP requirements for stormwater design. 7.5.1 Regulatory Mechanism The Town's Land Development Ordinance is in compliance with the USMP. The Town's Design Manual provides policy, criteria and technical specifications and standards for stormwater permits and the design, implementation and performance of post -construction management structural and non-structural controls. 7.5.2 Operation and Maintenance The Town's Land Development Ordinance requires that each structural BMP be maintained and operated so as "to preserve and continue its function in controlling stormwater quality and quantity at the degree or amount of function for which the structural BMP was designed" (see 15.7.1, Standards for Maintenance, of the Land Development Ordinance, included as an appendix to this report). The person responsible for maintenance of the BMP must submit an annual inspection report to the Town. This inspection report is completed by a professional engineer, surveyor, landscape architect, soil scientist, aquatic biologist, or person certified by the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service for stormwater treatment practice inspection and maintenance. Prior to issuing a permit for development or redevelopment that requires a structural BMP, the applicant or owner must execute an operation and maintenance agreement that is binding on all subsequent owners of the site. This requires the owner to maintain, repair and, if necessary, reconstruct the BMP and states maintenance terms and a schedule. Under the USMP requirements, all residential development in the Town that disturbs an acre or more and all commercial development disturbing a half -acre or more is required to control and treat stormwater runoff generated by a one -inch rain event. At a minimum, these control and treatment measures must remove 85% of total suspended solids and a have a volume drawdown of at least 48 hours, but not more than 120 hours. In addition, the storage volume of Town of Butner Stormwater Management Program Report Page 1 30 the stormwater control device must be discharged at a rate equal to or less than the pre - development discharge rate for the 1-year, 24-hour storm. In the critical areas of water supply watersheds, new development is limited to an impervious surface density of no more than 36 percent. 7.5.3 Fecal Coliform The Town will coordinate with the Granville -Vance District Health Department to control known sources of fecal coliform to the maximum extent practicable. Onsite wastewater systems are permitted by the Granville -Vance District Health Department based on site evaluations performed by the Health Department, which also investigates complaints regarding malfunctioning onsite wastewater systems. If the Health Department finds a problem, recommendations are made for corrective action. 7.5.4 Nutrient Sensitive Waters The Town's participation in the USMP meets requirements for development and redevelopment draining to nutrient sensitive waters. The Town does not currently have a nutrient application management program, but will develop and implement one under this NPDES permit. 7.5.5 Non -Structural BMPs As part of the USMP program, the Town has a setback requirement that prohibits new impervious surfaces within 30 feet of all perennial and intermittent surface waters. No new impervious or partially pervious surfaces, except for roads, paths and water dependent structures, are allowed in the floodplain. In addition, the Town's Land Development Ordinance requires that planned unit developments (PUDs) preserve environmentally sensitive areas, including all wetlands, steep slopes, and floodways, as open space. A minimum of 20% of the gross area of a PUD must be open space, and no more than 50% of the dedicated open space can be used for active recreation purposes. 7.5.6 Structural BMPs The Town requires structural BMPs for stormwater treatment in accordance with the adopted USMP. To date, three BMPs have been implemented and two are under construction. Two additional BMPs have been implemented on sites that were formerly under County land use controls. 7.5.7 Natural Resource Protection As described in the previous section, the Town has a setback requirement that prohibits new impervious surfaces within 30 feet of all perennial and intermittent surface waters. No new impervious or partially pervious surfaces, except for roads, paths and water dependent structures, are allowed in the floodplain. 7.5.8 Open Space Protection The Town has not implemented open space protection. Town of Butner Stormwater Management Program Report Page 1 31 7.5.9 Tree Preservation Article 11 of the Town's Land Development Ordinance provides incentives for developers to preserve and protect existing mature trees in conjunction with new development. Developers receive credit of 1.5 times the number of preserved trees to be used towards the tree planting requirements for landscaping and buffering for each tree preserved and protected in accordance with the standards of the article. Approved tree preservation credits may be applied to the tree planting requirements for streetyard landscaping, motor vehicle use area landscaping, street trees, or perimeter buffers. However, tree preservation credits cannot be used to offset more than 50% of the required number of trees in the area to which they are applied. Street trees are required to be planted on both sides of new public or private streets established through the major subdivision process. These trees must have a minimum mature height of 20 feet and must be a minimum of eight feet high and two inches in diameter (at six inches above the ground) at the time of planting. The Town's Land Development Ordinance allows for Mixed Residential Districts, which are a combination of residential development and "complimentary public and institutional uses which would not detract from the residential character of the district." 7.5.10 Street Design The Town's Land Development Ordinance requires streets to be built to North Carolina Department of Transportation standards. The Town has not green infrastructure street design elements to date. 7.5.11 Reduced Parking Requirements The Town has not implemented these elements to date. 7.5.12 Transportation Demand Management Alternatives The Town has not implemented Transportation Demand Management Alternatives to date. 7.5.13 Green Infrastructure The Town has not implemented Green Infrastructure requirements to date. 7.5.14 Minimizing Stormwater from Parking Lots Landscaped planting areas are required for all motorvehicle use areas developed in accordance with the Land Development Ordinance. One landscaped planting area is required for every 2,500 square feet of motor vehicle use area. Each planting area must contain at least one tree with a minimum height of eight feet and a minimum diameter of two inches, as measured six inches above the ground. Each parking space within a motor vehicle use area must be within at least 60 feet of the trunk of a required tree. These trees may be clustered around loading docks or other maneuvering areas. Town of Butner Stormwater Management Program Report Page 1 32 7.5.15 Maintenance/Enforcement Stormwater BMPs are maintained and enforced through the mechanisms described in section 7.5.2. Annual reporting is required for BMPs on private land. Development of structural BMPs will be tracked using a database, which will also track annual reporting. 7.5.16 Evaluation Post -construction stormwater management will be evaluated by the number of BMPs that are evaluated annually and found to be in good working condition and the number of annual reports received.

Town of Butner Stormwater Management Program Report Page 1 34 7.6 Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations The Town will implement an operations and maintenance program with the goal of preventing or reducing pollutant runoff from municipal operations. This program will include staff training and documentation of procedures and activities. 7.6.1 Affected Operations The Town currently operates a public works facility where routine maintenance to vehicles is conducted. The Town maintains the stormwater drainage system, including ditch cleaning and repair. The Town maintains parking lots on its current Town Hall, Sports Arena, and storage building sites, as well as on a gravel lot adjacent to a ball field. As part of parks and open space maintenance, the Town operates the Sports Arena, D Street Ball Fields, and Gazebo Park. The site for the new Town Hall is under construction and will include the Town Hall building as well as an athletic park. The Town will establish procedures for pollution prevention and good housekeeping for these operations. The Town's sole industrial -type facility is the Public Works facility. The Town is in the process of seeking a no exposure certification exclusion for this facility. 7.6.2 Training The Town will conduct an annual training for staff involved in municipal operations and maintenance activities. The training will cover both basic stormwater education and specific pollution prevention practice information pertaining to the Town's operations. The program will convey the same information as the public education outreach efforts, including illicit discharge detection and elimination -specific outreach, with the goal of contextualizing inquiries and questions that staff may receive from citizens. The illicit discharge detection and elimination portion of the training will also focus on enabling staff to spot potential illicit discharges and, when IDDE standard operating procedures are complete, to familiarize staff with the Town's SOPs for discharge elimination. 7.6.3 Maintenance and Inspections The Town does not own permanent stormwater controls. For new stormwater controls that are installed to comply with the Falls Rules and state stormwater quality requirements, the Town will establish a program of regular inspections and maintenance for the facilities. The Town will establish a regular inspections program for the storm drainage system. 7.6.4 Vehicular Operations Routine maintenance for vehicles is conducted at the Public Works facility. Maintenance activities are conducted indoors. Vehicle washing is conducted in a commercial carwash or on a grassed surface. The facility is maintained in an orderly manner, materials are stored indoors, and spill kits are maintained and used when necessary. The Town owns several parking lots. Town of Butner Stormwater Management Program Report Page 1 35 Litter collection is performed regularly at these lots. These practices will be continued as part of the Town's compliance with this permit. 7.6.5 Waste Disposal The Town will formalize procedures for waste disposal as part of its program development, including pollution prevention for stockpiled materials. Used motor oil, antifreeze, filters and vehicle fluids used in routine maintenance are disposed at the County landfill's used oil recycling collection point. 7.6.6 Evaluation The pollution prevention and good housekeeping program will be evaluated according to pollution prevention standard operating procedures created and implemented and staff training completed.
