SWMP TEMPLATE INSTRUCTIONS
Additional guidance for using this Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) Template can
be found on the DEQ stormwater web page at https:lldeg.nc. og v.sw under the NPDES
MS4 Program Forms & Resources tab, in the MS4 Toolbox. It is strongly recommended
that the posted instructional SWMP webinar be viewed prior to beginning development
of the SWMP.
2. An MS4-specific Annual Self -Assessment (ASA) Template will be developed based
upon the approved Final SWMP. This ASA will be an Excel spreadsheet that lists each
SWMP measurable goal and reporting metric for each reporting year. Please be aware
that the responses must be brief and answers of Yes/No/Partial, a quantity, or a date are
the preferred reporting metrics. There is a small character limited comment box to
provide the status of each entry, but there is no option to attach documents to the ASA.
3. The SWMP Template has instructions embedded in the document. They are always
highlighted:
Red italicized text with gray highlighting denotes an instruction or guidance that
should be deleted from the document after completion. For example, [insert a
map].
Plain highlighted text indicates an item that must be edited to provide the
appropriate information, for example:
o has / has not would be replaced with either has or has not
o Document Date would be replaced with the date, written as February 6,
2019 or 02/06/2019
o Permit Number NCSOOOxxx would be replaced with the NPDES MS4
permit number assigned by DEQ (e.g. NCS000300).
4. The SWMP Template has standard text that should not be edited or deleted, including all
listed permit conditions and some provided BMPs. The provided text works hand in
hand with the 2021 Permit Template to define a compliant MS4 program.
5. Number the BMPs in the tables consecutively, starting with BMP No. 1. Do not restart
numbering in each BMP table. The consecutive numbering supports quick referencing of
the individual table cells (e.g. BMP 1.B.1 or BMP 15.C.3).
6. Add or delete rows to enter as many BMPs and Measurable Goals as are necessary to
satisfy each permit requirement.
7. Each BMP should answer three basic questions and the reporting metric should, ideally,
represent what the MS4 will use to evaluate whether the BMP/Measurable Goal is
successful/useful ornot:

a. What will be done? Describe the specific task(s) to be completed.
b. When will it be completed? Include a frequency and applicable permit year(s).
c. How will it be measured and reported to DEQ each year? See Item 2 above.
8. Do not change "Draft" on the SWMP document until DEQ provides instructions in
writing to change the title to Draft Final or Final.
9. Helpful Hints:
• Search and replace "MS4name" with the name of the municipality (e.g. City of
Smithville) throughout the document.
• Think through BMP commitments, timing and available vs. needed resources.
Establish reasonable time frames to complete the program goals by the end of the 5-
year permit term. The MS4 will be accountable for the commitments and timing
provided.
• Identify components that need to be in place prior to BMP implementation and
consider whether they should be included as interim tasks/steps towards compliance
(e.g. developing tracking spreadsheets, staff training, etc.).
• The Division will specifically request additional information if needed to approve the
Final SWMP.
• Clear and concise wording is strongly recommended.
• It is recommended that an MS4 not include extraneous information, because it
becomes an enforceable component of the permit.

PART 1: INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) is to establish and define the means by which
the Town of Montreat 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 Montreat 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 NCS000440, 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 Montreat and located
within the corporate limits of the Town of Montreat.
In preparing this SWMP, the Town of Montreat 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 Montreat as
summarized in Table 6 below. The unpermitted non-stormwater flows listed as incidental do not
significantly impact water quality. The Town of Montreat has evaluated residential and charity car
washing and street washing for possible significant water quality impacts.
Street washing discharges are addressed under the Pavement Management Program in Part 10 of this
SWMP. The Division has/has not required that other non-stormwater flows be specifically controlled by
the Town of Montreat. [insert brief narrative of any other Division -required non-stormwater flows to be
addressed and where in the SWMP they are addressed.]
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 Montreat to determine whether they may
significantly impact water quality. [insert brief narrative explanation of the determination. If determined
to be significant, list as target pollutants/audiences and identify which parts of the SWMP contain
measures to address them (e.g. Measures to address these target pollutants are provided in Parts xxx of
this SWMP. If not evaluatedyet, include BMPs to evaluate and incorporate into the SWMP in the Illicit
Discharge Detection and Elimination section of this SWMP.]

significant water quality issues within the permitted MS4 area. These include [briefly explain
issue/pollutant, likely source and how the MS4 became aware. This might be something like:
Based upon multiple citizen complaint investigations, the Town of Montreat has identified littering from
abc school students traversing the xyz greenway to be an ongoing issue, or
Based upon the city's Muddy Creek and Trashed Creek Watershed Master Plans, sediment and litter have
been identified as pollutants of concern. Sediment is attributed to the rapid development and
construction occurring in the Muddy Creek watershed. Litter is a general issue associated with both
commercial and residential areas.]

PART 5: PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREACH PROGRAM
The Town of Montreat will implement a Public Education and Outreach Program to distribute educational
materials to the community or conduct equivalent outreach activities about the impacts of storm water
discharges on water bodies and steps the public can take to reduce pollutants in storm water runoff.
The target audiences and identified pollutants listed in Part 3.9 of this SWMP, which will be addressed by
the Public Education and Outreach Program, are summarized in Table 12 below. In addition, the Town of
Montreat is required to inform businesses and the general public of the hazards associated with illicit
discharges, illegal dumping and improper disposal of waste.

BMPs.
[If the MS4 is implementing public education through a cooperative/regional program, it is acceptable to
attach the program commitments as an Appendix and enter "See Appendix A " in the BMP table. Please
note that the MS4 will still be held accountable for complying with the regional commitments and they
must include MS4-specific reporting metrics for the MS4 Annual Self -Assessment. Some BMPs are
appropriate for regional implementation and aggregate reporting (e.g. number, date, topic and region of
radio and television PSAs). However, local MS4 events and activities must be reported individually for
each MS4 (e.g. number of students, date and topic for classroom presentations, etc.].

PART 8: CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL PROGRAM
In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0153, the Town of Montreat 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 Montreat 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 Montreat implements the following
State post -construction program requirements, which satisfy the NPDES Phase 11 MS4 post -construction
site runoff control requirements as Qualifying Alternative Programs (QAPs) in the MS4 area(s) where
they are implemented.
Table 18: Qualifying Alternative Program(s) for Post -Construction Site Runoff Control Program [delete

PART 10: POLLUTION PREVENTION AND GOOD HOUSEKEEPING PROGRAMS
This SWMP provides a comprehensive pollution prevention and good housekeeping strategy for the
Town of Montreat municipal facilities and operations. Pollution prevention and good housekeeping is
accomplished through the implementation of seven required programs, which collectively address the
ultimate goal of preventing or reducing pollutant runoff from municipal operations such as parks and
open space maintenance, fleet and building maintenance, new construction and land disturbances, and
municipal storm sewer system maintenance.
Pollution prevention and good housekeeping for municipal operations includes the following programs:
1. Municipal Facilities Operation and Maintenance Program
2. Spill Response Program
3. MS4 Operation and Maintenance Program
4. Municipal SCM Operation and Maintenance Program
5. Pesticide, Herbicide and Fertilizer Management Program
6. Vehicle and Equipment Maintenance Program
7. Pavement Management Program
The Town of Montreat will manage, implement and report the pollution prevention and good
housekeeping BMPs as specified in Table 21 below for each required program.
