PART 1: INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) is to establish and define the means by which
the Town of Harrisburg 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 Harrisburg 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 NCS0000513, 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 Harrisburg and
located within the corporate limits of the Town of Harrisburg.
In preparing this SWMP, the Town of Harrisburg 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.

The McKee Creek and Clear Creek TMDL was developed in 2002, and approved in August 2003, prior to
the issuance of an MS4 permit to the Town of Harrisburg. As such, the Town is not
specifically identified as part of the waste load allocation in the TMDL. Recognizing the timing of
TMDL development in 2002 and the issuance of an MS4 permit to the Town in 2005, the Town
performed a risk assessment in 2012 regarding its potential contribution to the current and future waste
load in the TMDL watershed. HDR Engineering, Inc of the Carolinas identified the Town having a low
potential for waste load contribution since the Town has only 80 acres of jurisdiction in the
watershed. Current annexation laws may limit the Town's ability to regulate development in balance of
the watershed.
Despite this low potential the Town developed a waste load reduction plan for the McKee Creek and
Clear Creek should future development occur in the watershed. This plan focuses on working within the
MS4 permit control measures to reduce fecal coliform loading. Proposed Best Management Practices
(BMPs) include encouraging the use of fecal coliform reducing structural stormwater control measures
(SCMs) for new development, performing public education and outreach about the TMDL to residents
and business in the watershed, consideration of a pet waste ordinance or collection
requirements for development common areas, and evaluation of opportunities for SCM retrofits.

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 Harrisburg.
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 Harrisburg to determine whether they may significantly
impact water quality.
The water quality impacts of non-Stormwater discharges have been evaluated by the Town of Harrisburg.
Non-stormwater discharges associated with the following activities, as specified in 40 CFR 122.26, are
allowed, provided that they do not significantly impact water quality:
• Other non-stormwater discharges for which a valid NPDES discharge permit has been approved
and issued by the state of North Carolina, and provided that such discharges to the municipal
separate storm sewer system shall be authorized by the Town. Prohibited substances include, but
are not limited to, oil, anti -freeze, chemicals, animal waste, paints, garbage and litter. Illicit
discharges are addressed in further detail in Part 7: Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
Program.

3.10 Target Audiences
Residential: This group has the ability to positively impact all of the issues contributing to the pollutant
sources identified in Table above. They also have a significant potential to increase participation in
volunteer programs for protecting and restoring water quality conditions. This is a large, targeted
audience composed of many subsets, including but not limited to homeowners, renters, pet owners,
community groups, scout troops, etc. The Town of Harrisburg, in partnership with the Regional
Stormwater Partnership of the Carolinas, has developed educational materials for reaching these different
subsets and will develop and implement outreach initiatives on an as needed basis to address specific
water quality issues as they arise.

Commercial: This group, like the residential group, has a significant potential to positively impact water
quality and has several subsets, including landscapers, grading contractors, building maintenance
companies, mobile washers, automotive repair shops, etc. The Town of Harrisburg, in partnership with
the Regional Stormwater Partnership of the Carolinas, has developed educational materials for reaching
these subsets and will develop and implement outreach initiatives on an as needed basis to address
specific water quality issues as they arise.
Institutional: This group predominantly includes schools and their related facilities. The Town of
Harrisburg is not a home to any places of higher learning at this time. However, educational institutions
have a significant potential to aid in the reduction of pollution sources as well as to expand volunteer
programs. The Town of Harrisburg, in partnership with the Regional Stormwater Partnership of the
Carolinas, conducts water quality educational presentations in school classrooms and many schools,
colleges and universities have become involved in the volunteer programs.

4.2 Program Funding and Budget
In accordance with the issued permit, the Town of Harrisburg shall maintain adequate funding and
staffing to implement and manage the provisions of the SWMP and comply with the requirements of the
NPDES MS4 Permit. The budget includes the permit administering and compliance fee, which is billed
by the Division annually.
There are currently five positions partially funded by the Stormwater Management Program. These
positions include the Engineering and Public Works Director, Engineering Manager, Engineer in Training
(2), and Grading Inspector.
Funding for stormwater is provided through Stormwater Fees which are assessed to commercial and
residential property owners via the monthly water and sewer bill. The charge per equivalent residential
unit (ERU) for FY22 is $5.62 per month.
The total FY 22 annual budget (excluding capital improvement projects) for the NPDES stormwater
management program is $795,992. The Town's current stormwater utility is calculated using impervious
area based on as-builts and a residential equivalent unit.
4.3 Shared Responsibility
The Town of Harrisburg shares the responsibility to implement the Construction Site Runoff Control and
Public Education and Outreach minimum control measures. The Town of Harrisburg remains responsible
for compliance if the other entity fails to perform the permit obligation and may be subject to enforcement
action if neither the Town of Harrisburg nor the other entity fully performs the permit obligation. Table
below summarizes who will be implementing the component, what the component program is called, the
specific SWMP BMP or permit requirement that is being met by the shared responsibility, and whether a
legal agreement to share responsibility is in place.
The Town relies on the Mooresville Regional office of the NCDEQ to provide erosion control and
sedimentation review and inspection services, consistent with the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of
1973 and the Title 15A Chapter 4: Sediment Control of the North Carolina Administrative Code. The

♦�► Harrisburg NC
The right side o f vpportuniiy
Town works with Mr. Kenny Llewellyn, Regional Engineer, NCDEQ Mooresville Office to accomplish
this minimum measure.
The Town receives a portion of its potable water supply from the City of Concord, which as part of its
settlement of an Inter -basin Transfer (IBT) Agreement in 2010 instituted some additional regulatory and
procedural requirements on riparian buffers and vegetated setbacks. The Town amended its riparian
buffers and vegetative setback rules at the time to be consistent with the terms of the IBT agreement and
continues to enforce those rules.
In addition, the Town is part of the Regional Stormwater Partnership of the Carolinas (RSPC)
administered by the Infrastructure, Design, Environment and Sustainability (IDEAS) Center at UNC
Charlotte. The Partnership is underwritten with dues from over 20 communities in the Metrolina area and
serves as a forum for providing public education and outreach opportunities for its membership. The
Town relies on the RSPC to primarily conduct the public education and outreach minimum measure. The
Town observes the agreement with the RSPC via a foundation document that outlines contractual
obligations, defines goals and establishes memberships.

PART 8: CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL PROGRAM
In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0153, the Town of Harrisburg relies upon the North Carolina
Sedimentation Pollution Control Act (SPCA) of 1973 and the NCGO10000 permit for construction
activities as qualifying alternative programs to meet the NPDES MS4 Permit requirements for all
construction site runoff control measures to reduce pollutants in stormwater runoff from construction
activities that result in land disturbance of greater than or equal to one acre and any construction activity
that is part of a larger common plan of development that would disturb one acre or more.
The Town provides and promotes a means for the public to notify the appropriate authorities of observed
erosion and sedimentation problems. The Town utilizes the existence of the NCDENR, Division of Land
Resources "Stop Mud" hotline to meet the requirements of this section.

PART 9: POST -CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL
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 Harrisburg 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 Harrisburg would implement any State
post -construction program requirements, to satisfy the NPDES Phase II MS4 post -construction site runoff
control requirements as Qualifying Alternative Programs (QAPs) in the MS4 area(s) where they are
implemented. At this time, the Town of Harrisburg is not implementing any QAPs on a local level.

Overview of Regional Stormwater Partnership of the Carolinas (RSPC)
Purpose, Vision, and Goals
The Regional Stormwater Partnership of the Carolinas (RSPC) provides a forum for collaborations and
creates a synergy with 21 municipalities to provide education and outreach activities as part of the EPA's
Clean Water Act Municipal Stormwater permit requirements. The RSPC has developed strong
relationships between municipal agencies' staff by satisfying NPDES requirements and coming together
to achieve common goals. It is committed to the betterment of our region through the improvement of
water quality and takes an active stormwater leadership role in achieving that vision.
Mission
We seek to educate and bring awareness to the public, local businesses and education centers of our
region about stormwater issues and their impact on our water quality and our environment. We further
aim to unite local stormwater professionals and stormwater programs by sharing information and ideas
in order to collaborate, discuss and address similar stormwater issues on a regional level.
Background of the RSPC — Beginning as the Regional Stormwater Partnership (RSWP)
The Regional Stormwater Partnership (RSWP) was formed through collaboration with stormwater
professionals and the Centralina Council of Governments (CCOG) in 2007 with a Clean Water
Management Trust Fund Grant. It was developed as a regional stormwater partnership to address our
public's water quality concerns and to implement strategies that protect and promote water quality in
our region. The Centralina Council of Governments assumed the lead role in managing the grant by
facilitating a regional partnership, fostering local programs, procuring media involvement, and
administering the grant disbursements and programs.
In November 2012, the Regional Stormwater Partnership (RSWP) Executive Committee made the joint
decision to move the administration of the Partnership from the Centralina Council of Governments
(CCOG) to the Infrastructure, Design, Environment and Sustainability (IDEAS) Center at UNC Charlotte.
With this move, the RSWP was able to expand its membership beyond the CCOG area and utilize the
IDEAS Center resources within the Environmental Assistance Office to further the mission of the RSWP.
The RSWP was managed through UNC Charlotte until June 2016.
Today's RSPC
The Regional stormwater Partnership of the Carolinas (RSPC) has continued to develop and grow as an
organization to support all municipalities throughout the region in satisfying their NPDES municipal
stormwater permit requirements. Since July 15, 2017, the RSPC has contracted with Rising Solutions,
PLLC consulting engineering firm to provide facilitation services for creating a working relationship with
members and an administrative home to the RSPC. This allowed the RSPC to move forward with creating
organizational structure to become a 501c(3) Non -Profit, to develop bylaws, hold quarterly and annual
meetings, offer training, participate in outreach events, seek grant opportunities, plan workshops,
coordinate media campaigns, manage the RSPC website and elect the Board of Directors and Officers.
The current elected officers are shown in Table 1.

Committees
The RSPC established committees to research and develop recommendations to the organization.
Committees will be developed as actions are pursued needing investigation, evaluation, and leadership
outside of a meeting timeframe. Committees will report back to the RSCP Board and memberships at
quarterly and annual meetings. There was a realignment of committees during the 2021 Annual Meeting
on February 10, 2021. The Training Committee and Educational Outreach Committee were combined
and membership in all committees were streamlined for action. As the RSPC is established as a Tax
Exempt Non-profit 501c(3); Craig Miller acts as the ongoing RSPC representative in these matters, other
nonprofit committee members have been released.
The current active committees include:
Executive Committee
Executive Committee shall consist of the Chair (Chris Costner), the immediate past Chair of the Board of
Directors (Rob Donham), Vice -Chairman (Craig Miller), Treasurer (Marissa Metzler), and Secretary
(Danon Lawson). The Executive Committee shall meet to consider matters of a nature which cannot
wait for action until the next meeting of the Board and shall have all the power and authority of the
Board of Directors to act in regard to such matters.

Media Campaign
The RSPC worked with The Agency for media campaign productions. Campaigns to promote awareness
of regional stormwater issues using an array of marketing strategies were implemented. These included
website development with member connectivity along with the production of radio and television spots.
TV
There were Rising Spotlight interviews on WCCB for television as well as web -based media which aired
on the morning news. These provided opportunities for stormwater outreach to the public. The Fall
2020 campaign's Rising Spotlight was done on October 22"d with topics of stormwater pollution
prevention education and active community involvement in storm drain labeling and stream cleanup to
explain specifically why it is important to educate about stormwater and its impacts by our NC
AmeriCorps / Resilience Corps NC Intern, Daisha Williams. The Spring 2021 campaign also included a
Rising Spotlight Interview on April 27t" with Marissa Meltzer of the Town of Mooresville on stormwater
pollution, resources available, and how to become involved with stormwater pollution prevention
volunteer activities in their communities (Figure 2).

Educational and Outreach
Schools —Title 1 Database Development and Outreach to Educators
Daisha Williams, NC AmeriCorps/Resilience Corp NC Member, researched and developed a database of
Title 1 Schools along with contact information for educators who may find stormwater/water resources
from the RSPC valuable within their teaching curriculum. An email was sent to educators within the
RSPC member counties in October 2020 to offer virtual classroom assistance and provide Watershed
Wisdom educational resources as email attachments. There were 285 educators within six counties
contacted as shown in Table 8.

Educational Material Development
Research was conducted to develop resources for outreach within stormwater education. Several
educational documents were created or acquired for the purpose of conducting outreach to citizens and
students, as well as for other entities wanting to utilize these resources. These include a pH lesson,
stormwater walk activity, storm drain marking activity, watershed wisdom lessons, build your own water
filter activity, stormwater coloring worksheets, go green lessons on different types of pollution, 51 ways
kids can go green, and water filtration lesson. These resources can be used by RSPC members within
their educational and outreach programs as well as a website resource. The stormwater coloring
worksheets are shown in Figure 10.

Business Stormwater BMPs Development
Daisha Williams, NC AmeriCorps/Resilience Corp NC Member, continued the development of
stormwater best management practices documents for businesses. She worked with the RSPC members
in creating a priority of business types which BMP documentation would be most useful. She
researched, developed templates, and created the Stormwater BMPs for Agricultural Runoff, Breweries,
Cleaning Operations, Commercial Property Management, Construction, Food Industry, Landscape
Management, Painting Industry, and Vehicle Maintenance Operations. These documents were
personalized for each member municipality as requested for them to implement throughout their
jurisdiction. An example of the Business BMPs is shown in Figures 11-13 for the Construction Industry.
MqF'Will..
Stormwater is the polluted runoff gathered from rain and other precipitation events from
roads, parking lots, and other impervious surfaces, where runoff collects pollutants and
carries them downstream. Unfortunately, the construction industry is a significant
contributor to this problem. As storm water tiows over a canstruct5Gn site, it picks up
pollutants like sediment, debris, and chemicals. Abundant volumes of storm water can also
ca USe stream bank erosion, and destroy downstream aquatic habitat. In addition to the
environmental impact, uncontrolled erosion can have a significant financial impact on a
construction project. It costs money and time to repair vegetation, clean sediment -clogged
storm drains, and mitigate damage to other people's property or to natural resources.
Through the use of best management practices (BMPs), construction site operators are the
key defense against erasion and sedimentation. By following the erosion and sediment
BMPs. In this pamphlet, you can help guarantee a sate working environment for your
business and clean waterways far all. These guidelines Include control measures and
practices, which prevent or reduce erosion and redirect stormwater flow during
construction activities.
The quality of our waters depends on your actions. We can work together to protect
our local water quality and comply with local, regional, and state regulationsl

EARTH DIKES
Earth Dikes are used in constructEon areas to
control sedimentation, erosion or flood damage
through diverting water. This BMP Is a
temporary ridge of compacted sail placed in a
manner, which diverts uncontaminated water
from contaminated areas, or allows
contaminated water flow to be deposited In
sediment trapping devices or appropriate
outlets.
SEDIMENT TRAPS
.A
Sediment traps can be used as a temporary
dam or basin used to collect, trap and stare
sediment produced by construction activitles It
can also be used a method to control flow of
runoff during heavy rain events. preventing
sediment from washing into our waterways.

SILT FENCES
A slit fence is an inexpensive sediment barrler
used on construction sites to retain the soil on
disturbed land untiI activities subside In order to
protect water qua Pity of nearby waterways.
Keep the soll on a construction site, rather than
it washing away into the storm drain system
prevents the degradation and contamination of
aquatic habitats, as well as the clogging on
storm drains_
VEGETATED SWALES
Vegetated swales are natural BMP's that are
densely pla nted with avarletyof local grasses,
shrubs or trees deglgned to manage runoff
primarily by reducing runoff velocity and volume_
This BM can be implemented along the road
near construction, or along broad, shallow water
channels depicted In the image to the left to
provide water quality treatment through filtering
stormwa ter runoff.
Figure 13: Construction Industry Storm water BMPs (Page 3)
In addition to businesses BMPs, there was a General Citizens Guide developed to help citizens to
understand more clearly stormwater and how to protect water quality. The Citizens Guide to
Stormwater (3 pages) is shown below in Figures 14-16.

IMPLEMENT NATURAL AREAS OR
QARDENSa AROUND YOUR PROPERTY
Specifically -designed areas planted with
native plants can provide natural places for
rainwater to collect and soak into the ground,
which could prevent flooding. In addition,
rain from rooftops or paved areas can be
diverted into these areas rather than into the
storm drain, limiting stormwater runoff.
WASH YOUR CAR AT A CARWASH
FACt1,ITY
When you wash a car a home, all of the din.,
grime, and grease from your car washes
down the driveway into the Nearest storm
drain. This runoff also contains chemicals
and soaps, which are harrn€ul to aquatic life -
However, dirty water from coirunercial car
washes goes to the sanitary system and is

NPDES Templates:
To assist with compliance for all 21 municipalities in the partnership a total of 46 NPDEs templates were
acquired in the following categories: IDDE Investigation Procedures, Illicit Discharge Notices of
Violation, MS4 Maintenance and Operation Schedule Procedures, Municipal Facility & BMPs Inspection
Checklists, Outfall Screening & Inspection Forms, and Spill Preparedness & Response Procedures
Templates (Table 10). These categories are based on municipal need and want which was determined
through a poll during the Annual Meeting on February 10, 2021 as shown in Figure 17. To further hone
down municipal need, individual surveys were sent out to each municipality where they were able to
choose from all template types to indicate which ones would be of best use for their municipality. These
templates are being tailored individually for each responding RSPC member.

Grants
Water Resources Research Institute — Stormwater Consortium
A Water Resources Research Institute — Stormwater Consortium (WRRI — SWC) Grant of $76,924 was
awarded to Johnson C. Smith University in collaboration with the RSPC. Dr. Bryan Patterson, Assistant
Professor of Public Leadership, Department of Interdisciplinary Studies, Philosophy, and Religion, is the
Principal Investigator of the project, "Empowering underrepresented citizens of Charlotte -Mecklenburg
with a voice and role in municipal storm water program goals." The project has been implemented
within three Charlotte Neighborhoods, Historic Washington Heights, Lincoln Heights, and Northwood
Estates, from February 15, 2020 to June 30, 2021.
The project included education and outreach, stream cleanups and storm drain labeling, focus groups
and surveys to understand perspectives, evaluations of two years of citizen 3-1-1 reporting data, and a
"#311, Having a Voice Workshop". These activities allowed for seeking to create an understanding of
perspectives, engaging citizens in actions to improve their neighborhoods, and building two-way
communications to overcome mistrust and feelings of being ignored in relation to citizen calls. A
summary of stream cleanups and storm drain marking events and impacts are shown in Figure 20.

Elected Officials Stormwater Workshop
The Elected Officials Stormwater Workshop was held on February 23, 2021 from gam -11am virtually via
zoom. There were 165 people who registered for the Elected Officials Stormwater Workshop with 142
attendees. The participants by categories included: 31 Elected Officials (21%), 44 RSPC Member
Municipalities (31%), 36 Consultants (25%), 30 Non-RSPC Municipalities (21%), 7 Government Officials
(5%), and 7 academia (5%).
An agenda announcement was created to highlight the event and speakers which was provided to
elected officials (Figure 26). The presentations were meaningful to the elected officials in areas of
stormwater permit requirements' role in protecting our water resources, gaining an overview of the NC
State Auditing process for a municipality, balancing stormwater fees and community needs, and the
benefits of a Stormwater Advisory Board. There were dynamic discussions during the interactive panel
which covered questions sent in during registration and from the audience during the workshop. The
workshop allowed elected officials to understand stormwater issues and provide resources for their
follow up inquiries through the RSPC and individual members in each municipality. Attendees comments
included:
• GREAT JOB! Having this done remotely and with the presenters selected, was really well done.
Thank you all for the maximum effort that you all put in. It really was great.
• Like I said in a comment during the presentation, the workshop went a long way in terms of me
finally understanding the whole stormwater issue. Exactly where can I find the recording of the
presentation so I can provide it to other members of our council? I am going to propose that all
council members start by viewing the presentation and then we can have a Stormwater Meeting
with staff to decide what we should do next.
I enjoyed the class yesterday, and it was very informative. I knew we had a lot of work to do,
and we heard several good ideas to help us prepare for the audit.
Credits:
There were 2 hours of credit for Engineering Professional Development Hours (PDHs) or Certificates of
Training awarded to 32 individuals. The zoom tracking allows for easy documentation of those attending
and their actual minutes of attendance.

registered for the Tech Talk with 31 attendees. The purpose of the Tech Talk was to bring understanding
on the Riverkeepers programs and seek to find commonalities within the municipal/county stormwater
agencies for building collaboration in pollution prevention, stream clean ups, outreach, and education,
along with individual activities which may bring value to both the Riverkeepers and the stormwater
36 of 42

programs. This Tech Talk was valuable for the RSPC members to have an opportunity to learn about the
Riverkeeper Programs, meet and discuss topics via Zoom with the contact person for each river basin
Riverkeepers: John Searby (Executive Director of the Catawba Riverkeeper Foundation) and Edgar Miller
(Executive Director of the Yadkin Riverkeeper). Discussion points included: biggest threats to the river
basins, Riverkeeper organizational goals, how to work together with important topics to help the river,
and public participation partnerships for stream clean ups.

Online Workshop and Training Resources
The RSPC has developed workshop and training video recordings to allow additional resources in
reaching members of our communities, staff, elected officials. Examples of these are shown in Figures
29 and 30 for the Post Construction Stormwater Compliance Workshop and the Elected Officials
Stormwater Workshop. These resources have been used in reaching individuals who were not available
during the actual events, additional training, and during meetings to allow others to understand the
importance of stormwater management. An example is the "Elected Officials Stormwater Workshop"
where participants indicated an interest in sharing the workshop will all their council members,
commissioners, and other decision makers within the municipality.
