Town of Butner
Operation and Maintenance Program for the Storm Sewer System
June 2022
In Support of the Town's NPDES Phase II MS4 Permit

Stormwater System Operations and Maintenance
Description
The Town of Butner maintains 32 miles of storm drainage infrastructure, mostly made up of open channel
ditches on either side of 15.9 miles of Town -maintained streets.
Practices
Reclamation of ditches
Since the Town's incorporation in 2007, the Public Works Department has been making progress on its
program to reclaim the Town's conveyance system of ditches. Most were overgrown and did not function well
as a result of the State's low level of service in the many years preceding incorporation. The first round of
reclamation work has been completed. Ditch reclamation involves removing large overgrown vegetation and
sediment deposits that are impeding the flow of stormwater and causing standing water or erosion.
Ditch Maintenance/Repair
Butner's Public Works Department receives complaints regarding poor drainage, standing water, or flooding.
The Town receives frequent drainage complaints. Response to drainage complaints is prioritized: issues that
cause street drainage problems are resolved first, then ones that cause private property damage or issues. The
Town works only in its own rights of way, except for some exceptional circumstances requiring work in North
Carolina Department of Transportation rights of way. The Town dos not work in private drainage ways or in
streams.
To resolve drainage issues, the Town completes a number of driveway culvert replacement projects every year.
The Town's driveway culvert replacement projects are funded with Powell Bill funds. Records of complaints
are kept in a spreadsheet that is updated by the administrative assistant.
Leaf Collection
The Town does not have a leaf collection program. Leaf burning is allowed, but items intentionally cut from
trees or shrubs, and any fallen limbs over 4" in diameter must be hauled to the dump.
Catchments
Public Works staff performs monthly inspections catchment basins in Town. If over half full cleaning occurs.
The debris is hauled to the dump. To improve record keeping, the Town is preparing to implement a new
inspection form for catchment basins.
Outfalls
The operations and maintenance of outfalls is detailed in the Town of Butner IDDE Manual. Outfalls are to be
inspected quarterly. Pictures will be taken as part of the inspection. If an illicit discharge is detected a Notice of
Violation will be sent to the property owner of the use responsible for the violation per article 4 of the Town of
Butner Land Development Ordinance (LDO).
Public Works Building
The operations and maintenance of the Town of Butner Public Works facilities is detailed in the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan.
Municipal SCM's
The Town maintains 7 SCM's.. Five are located at the Butner Athletic Park and two are located at Butner Town
Hall.. The Town of Butner Water Supply Watershed Protection Ordinance requires that all runoff control
structures be inspected monthly to ensure they are being maintained and are functioning as originally designed.
As part of this inspection process, the Public Works Department provides an annual maintenance inspection
report using the attached form. If repair work is required it is done immediately and a follow up inspection is
performed. Town facilities have yet to need repair work.
