This SWMP identifies the specific elements and minimum measures that the Town of Indian Trail 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 NCS000453, 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 Indian Trail and located within the corporate limits of the Town of Indian Trail. In preparing this SWMP, the Town of Indian Trail 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.

Major outfalls are required to be mapped to meet permit requirements. A major outfall is a 36-inch diameter pipe or discharge from a drainage area>50-acres; and for industrial zoned areas a 12-inch diameter pipe or a drainage area>2-acres. Major outfalls number shown in Table 1 above, is the total for all channel, inlet, and pipe outfalls located in Town in 2023. Town recently did an outfall inventory update in FY21/22. NCS000453 SWMP Town of Indian Trail 08/3/23 Page 4 3.3 Receiving Waters The Town of Indian Trail MS4 is located within the Yadkin Pee-Dee and Catawba River Basins and discharges directly into receiving waters as listed in Table 2 below.

The table also indicates whether the approved NCS000453 SWMP Town of Indian Trail 08/3/23 Page 6 TMDL has a specific stormwater Waste Load Allocation (WLA)for any watershed directly receiving discharges from the permitted MS4, and whether a Water Quality Recovery Program has been implemented to address the WLA. Table 3: Summary of Approved TMDLs Water Body Name TMDL Pollutant(s)of Concern Stormwater Water Waste Load Quality Allocation Recovery (Y/N) Program (Y/N) Goose Creek(Mint Hill) Fecal Coliform Yes No The Town's Goose Creek watershed encompasses a little over 6.5%of the entire corporate limits of the Town of Indian Trail. There is only one subdivision that was developed that has been constructed in this watershed since the Town was established. All other lands are occupied by single-family residences with limited access to county water and sewer. So potential development in the future would be hard economically to produce. Based on historical land use described above and the size of the watershed;the Town's approach on this is to perform the following minimum measure on an annual basis: 1) Public Education/Outreach — the Town will distribute educational material about watersheds, TMDLs, and septic field maintenance to all residents and to the handful of facilities(fire station, Goose Creek Airport,etc.) We will also coordinate with Union County(permitting authority for sewer)to see if there are any database for existing residential septic facilities,so we can have a better understanding where possible illicit discharges may be contributing to the TMDLs designation of Goose Creek. The Town's contracted consulting firm is finishing up a Watershed Management Plan for all watersheds located in the Town limits including Goose Creek. Water quality strategies will be created and implemented once plan is completed. The plan was supposed to be completed in June 2022, but due to lack of existing elevation data and some minor issue in the hydraulic model this plan will not be fully completed until December 2023. Due to waiting on the water quality report, the Town did not perform any proactive strategies for Goose Creek this year. NCS000453 SWMP Town of Indian Trail 08/3/23 Page 7 3.6 Endangered and Threatened Species and Critical Habitat Significant populations of threatened or endangered species and/or critical habitat are not identified within the regulated MS4 urbanized area. Based upon a review of the Endangered and Threatened Species and Species of Concern by County for North Carolina Map and Listed species believe to or known to occur in North Carolina map as provided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the species listed in Table 4 have the potential to occur within the regulated MS4 urbanized area. Of those species listed, Table 4 summarizes the species that may be significantly impacted by the quality of surface waters within their habitat.

Table 5: NPDES Stormwater Permitted Industrial Facilities(was not able to find the highlighted ones) Permit Number Facility Name Harris Teeter LLC NCG060372 Crooked Creek WWTP#2 NCG110070 Berry Global Inc NCG050349 Keywell Metals LLC NCG200463 Ready Mixed Concrete Co. NCG140187 Blumenthal Brandes Integrated NCGNE1460 3.8 Non-Stormwater Discharges The Town has evaluated the water quality impacts of non-stormwater discharges, as summarized in Table 6 below. The unpermitted non-stormwater flows listed as incidental do not significantly impact water quality.A previous version of the SWMP indicated that residential and charity car washing and street wash water had a"possible"water quality impact. In the Spring of 2022,the Town performed a detailed assessment by conducting field investigations and sampling discharges from outfalls that receive runoff from watersheds, including commercial canNashes and residential areas,to determine if car and street washing activities negatively impact receiving water bodies. The NCS000453 SWMP Town of Indian Trail 08/3/23 Page 8 assessment showed that residential and charity car washing and street wash water have only an incidental impact on receiving water bodies. Table 6 was revised to reflect the results of the assessment. Table 6: Non-Stormwater Discharges Non-Stormwater Discharge Water Quality Impacts Litter Incidental Water line and fire hydrant flushing Incidental Landscape irrigation Incidental Diverted stream flows Incidental Rising groundwater Incidental Uncontaminated groundwater infiltration Incidental Uncontaminated pumped groundwater Incidental Uncontaminated potable water sources Incidental Foundation drains Incidental Air conditioning condensate Incidental Irrigation waters Incidental Springs Incidental Water from crawl space pumps Incidental Footing drains Incidental Lawn watering Incidental Residential and charity car washing Incidental Flows from riparian habitats and wetlands Incidental Dechlorinated swimming pool discharges Incidental Street wash water Incidental Flows from firefighting activities Incidental 3.9 Target Pollutants and Sources In addition to those target pollutants identified above,the Town of Indian Trail is not aware of other significant water quality issues within the permitted MS4 area. 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 Indian Trail has evaluated schools, homeowners and businesses as target audiences that are likely to have significant stormwater impacts.

PART 8: CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL PROGRAM In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0153,the Town of Indian Trail 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 NCS000453 SWMP Town of Indian Trail 08/3/23 Page 23 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. Table 16: Qualifying Alternative Program Components for Construction Site Runoff Control Program Permit State or Local Program Name Legal Authority Implementing Entity Reference 3.5.1 - State Implemented SPCA 15A NCAC Chapter 04 NCDEQ 3.5.4 Program *The local delegated SPCA Program ordinance(s)/regulatory mechanisms)can be found at: NC DEQ: Erosion and Sediment Control Laws and Rules.

Residents are encouraged to visit www.moveinaiantraii.com/outreac., , take a brief survey, and provide feedback using an interactive map. ---- "Indian Trail's original Pedestrian Plan was adopted in 2009,"said Tim Jones,Senior Planner www.moveindiantrail.com/outreach and Project Manager. "A lot has changed since then,and many new residents have joined our L_ community. In order to create a comprehensive Pedestrian Plan,we need to understand where our residents walk to and why,what barriers there are to walking,and what other transportation needs they may have. We look forward to hearing what our residents have to say and creating this plan together." While the Town is currently in the design phase for a greenway that will contact Highway 74 with Crooked Creek Park,there are numerous sidewalk connectivity projects,totaling more than 13,000 feet,that have not yet been funded.The updated Pedestrian Plan will help the Town prioritize these projects, as well as develop new plans for improved connectivity and walkability. The Town will announce additional opportunities for public input on the Pedestrian Plan in the coming weeks. 4 • Last year,the North Carolina Department of Transportation's (NCDOT) Multimodal Planning Grant program awarded the Town $70,000 to update its existing Pedestrian Plan.The$70,000 includes a $21,000,or 30 percent, match from the Town.The annual matching grant program helps communities .

Indian Trail is continually looking for ways to improve its parks and offerings/activities for residents. April 2021 The Town Council approved the updated Parks and Recreation Master Plan. One of the action items in the plan was to"equitably prioritize land acquisition and park development as the Town grows." Fall 2021 The Council engaged LandDesign, Inc.to examine opportunities for park enhancements at Crooked Creek and Chestnut Square Park using available park bond funds,which are only available for use in those two parks.The Council chose to focus on enhancing Chestnut Square Park. Spring 2022 LandDesign, Inc. and Town staff began work on concepts for other Town parcels. Summer 2022 McAdams Engineering was awarded the design contract for Chestnut Square Park Phase 2,which covers the remaining undeveloped property,including the pond and areas surrounding it. McAdams is working on a conceptual plan that will focus on additional multipurpose fields and parking.This will be presented to the Council at a later date. June 2022 At the June 28 meeting,the Council received a report outlining park development opportunities at several town properties. Passive and active concepts were shown for several of the properties. Next Steps The Town Council will host a workshop before the regular Council meeting on Aug.9 beginning at 5:30 p.m.to further discuss the additional park development opportunities and provide the Town staff with direction for moving forward. Additionally, McAdams is scheduled to present two concepts for Chestnut Square Park Phase 2 this fall. Stay tuned to see what's coming next for Indian Trail's park system!

Town Council Approves 2041 Comprehensive Land Use Plan, Selects Conservative Scenario The Indian Trail Town Council recently approved the 2041 Comprehensive Town of Indian Trail Land Use Plan,which is a 20-year guide for future growth in Indian Trail. MP.„_ Ns � Using data analysis and public input, Indian Trail's Planning Department L A N developed three potential directional scenarios for the Plan: Status Quo, Conservative,and Aggressive. Based on feedback from the Comprehensive through 2041 Plan Advisory Committee,residents and business owners,and the Planning Board,the Planning Department recommended the Conservative scenario,which the Town Council ultimately adopted. In the Conservative scenario,several areas throughout the Town change from high density to medium density residential and from medium density to low density residential. There are no areas in which the density will increase.The updated Comprehensive Plan also includes the Advisory Committee's revisions to the Town's vision,goals and objectives based on public input,as well as updates to basic demographic data,new mapping,report clarifica- tion,and an easier to read document. To view the 2041 Comprehensive Plan, visit https://www.indiantrail.org/DocumentCenter/View/3288/2041-Comprehensive-Plan.

Adopt-A-Stream Program Waterways can accumulate trash due to rain washing and people dumping debris into the storm drainage system. The Town's Adopt-A- Stream program can be a helpful tool to assist the Town in keeping our waterways clean. It is a volunteer-based program that allows our citizens to be involved in the community while providing valuable information to Town staff about stream conditions. It can be a great opportunity for HOAs, businesses,churches,sports associations,or scout groups to perform a social or team-building activity. To participate in the Adopt-A-Stream program, volunteers are required to clean up a stream segment once a year for two years. We will supply all the materials you need and collect the trash you pick up. Once a group fulfills this requirement,the group qualifies to have its name on an Adopt-A-Stream road sign! Of course,a citizen or group of citizens can also choose to hold one or more cleanups at a stream without the commitment of an Adopt-A- Stream contract.Town staff can help you coordinate this event and provide you with supplies. Storm Drain Marking Just like the Adopt-A-Stream Program, this volunteer-based program helps protect waterways by educating the community on how storm drains connect 2022 Tax Bills to streams and lakes. Our goal is to mark every storm drain in the Town, and with your help,this could happen. The Town of Indian Trail tax bills will be mailed mid to late August and are due on Sept. 1, 2022.

On a regular basis,we receive inquiries from residents about how much are Town taxes and what they get for their money.The Town tax rate is 18.5 cents per$100 of value and is one of the lowest in the state.There is also a modest stormwater fee,which must only be used for stormwater-related activities.The County tax rate is .5880 cents per$100 of value and is billed separately. Law Enforcement:7.44 Cents For every$100 of valuation,7.44 cents goes toward funding Indian Trail's contract with the Union County Sheriff's Office. Public safety is one of the Town Council's priorities. For the current budget year,the Town added two employees (a detective and a patrol deputy) and a civilian crime scene investigator to the Sheriff's Office contract to help keep our residents safe and Indian Trail's crime rate low. Solid Waste Services: 5.79 Cents On May 10 of this year,the Town Council approved a five-year solid waste contract with Waste Connections in the amount of$2,931,577, which represents a $925,000 increase over the previous contract.The increase in cost was anticipated,and the Town set aside funding to cover the costs.The contract includes weekly solid waste collection, biweekly recycling and yard waste collection and quarterly bulk pick. Currently,the Town serves 13,942 households and has added more than 300 new resident pick-up locations since January of this year. Capital Reserve/Debt Service: 3.92 Cents Capital Reserve/Debt Service funds are used to pay on any outstanding bond debts owed by the Town,as well as the mortgage payment for the Town Hall.These funds are also available to pay cash for large-scale projects. For example,some of the Town's capital reserve funds will be used to pay for portions of the Indian Trail Road Complete Street project and the Chestnut Square Park Phase II project. General Fund: 1.35 Cents The remaining 1.35 cents goes toward the general 18.5 Cent Tax Rate fund, which covers the day-to-day expenses of the Town.This includes things like the daily maintenance of our parks, vehicle and equipment maintenance, 7.44 Cents: °°"°F staffing, utilities, and technology. Additional funding Law Enforcement ® sources,such as sales tax revenue and motor vehicle tax revenue, among others, provide supplemental funds for the General Fund. 5.79 Cents: Solid Waste Services ��� For more information about the Town's taxes or finances, visit http://indiantrail.org/160/Finance- Business-Operations. 3.92 Cents:Capital Reserve/Debt Service CD If you have any questions,please contact our Finance Department at 704-821-5401.They would be happy to speak with you. 1.35 Cents: Available for General Fund Use October Meeting Dates* 5 PARC Committee Meeting, 6 p.m. 19 Watershed Study: Public Meeting, 6-8 p.m. 11 Town Council Meeting, 6:30 p.m. 20 ABC Board, 6 p.m. @ABC Store (5880 U.S. 74) 13 Stormwater Committee Meeting, 6 p.m. 25 Town Council Meeting, 6:30 p.m. 18 Planning Board Meeting, 6 p.m. 27 Board of Adjustment Meeting, 6:30 p.m. All meetings are at Indian Trail Town Hall, 315 Matthews-Indian Trail Road, unless otherwise noted.

A watershed is an area of land where all the rainwater and melted snow drain into a single creek, river,or body of water. "Public input is an important component of the watershed management study,"said Todd Huntsinger, director of engineering. "The feed- back received during the public input meeting,in conjunction with the community survey data and field work by the contractor,will be used to create a comprehensive watershed management plan. I encourage all residents,especially those who were unable to take the survey,to attend the meeting and provide their input." Proper Leaf Disposal With the Fall season in full swing,it will soon be time to clean up leaves.A few reminders before you bring out the rakes and leaf blowers: • Place leaves in clear plastic bags or biodegradable lawn bags and put curbside for service. - If you need to find out your color week for yard waste pick up,type in your address into our searchable recycling and yard waste map:https://indiantrail.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=550edf6159d84a11 aa93d59ae0bba8d9 - You can find the corresponding color on the Solid Waste and Recycling calendar: http://indiantrail.org/DocumentCenter/View/3232/Solid-Waste--Recycling-Calendar-2022-2023 • Keep leaves out of the roadway,storm grates or creek beds. Leaves can clog storm drains and create backups when it rains. • Do not burn leaves. Indian Trail's Fire Prevention Ordinance prohibits the open burning of yard waste,including leaves. (See ordinance: https://bit.ly/3rc9jjj). If you have any questions,please call the Town Hall at 704-824-5401.

Stormwater is rainwater or melted snow that flows over land,paved streets,parking lots and rooftops.When this runoff is absorbed into the soil, it is naturally filtered and flows into rivers and streams. In developed areas, however, there are more impervious surfaces that prevent water from soaking into the ground, such as driveways, roads and buildings. This causes stormwater runoff to pickup pollutants like trash, chemicals and oils that can harm our waterways. The .;; ; runoff can be just as polluted as untreated sewer. „ What is a Stormwater Utility Fee? The Town has a stormwater fee for all residential and non-residential properties. It is used for: • Ensuring Town compliance with federal and state water quality regulations • Infrastructure improvement and maintenance programs • Inspections of detention ponds • Investigating spills or reports of illegal dumping For residential properties,the stormwater fee is determined by the footprint of the home: • Tier 1: Less than 2,060 square feet= $4.43 per month • Tier 2: Greater than 2,060 square feet = $5.30 per month Non-residential stormwater fees are calculated based on Equivalent Residential Units (ERUs). An ERU is the average square foot of a residential parcel. One ERU equals 2,060 square feet. The fee is calculated at a rate of$3.38 per ERU per month. For example, a non-residential (i.e. com- mercial) property with 31,746 square feet of impervious surface has 15.4 ERUs and would pay a yearly fee of$624.63. What is the Town doing to manage stormwater runoff? In addition to the stormwater fee, Indian Trail: • Enforces development regulations to control runoff • Operates a three-year schedule for clearing creeks and performing routine maintenance of the stormwater system • Contracted with WithersRavenel, Inc. on a 13-month Watershed Management Study. Information from the study will serve as a blueprint to implement water quality improvements. You can learn more about this on page 2. The Town's Stormwater Advisory Committee also meets quarterly to focus on stormwater issues in neighborhoods and roadways. What can residents do to help improve stormwater quality? There are many ways you can help prevent the pollution of our stormwater system, including: • Keeping storm drains free from litter, leaves and other debris • Following landscape watering guidelines • Controlling pests in your yard and garden without using chemicals • Washing your car in your yard instead of your driveway • Reporting illegal dumping in the Town by calling 704-821-8173 You can learn more about the Town's stormwater services at+ittps://www.indiantrail.org/298/Stormwater-Services.

Indian Trail Receives Grant to Assist with Pedestrian Planning The Town of Indian Trail was one of only 10 municipalities to receive grant funding as part of the North .=, Carolina Department of Transportation's(NCDOT)Multimodal Planning Grant program.The annual match- ill. ing grant program helps communities develop comprehensive plans for expanding bicycle, pedestrian and/or transit facilities. The Town was awarded $70,000 to update its existing Pedestrian Plan,which was first adopted in 2009. , . 1 ,t" g The$70,000 includes the$21,000,or 30 percent,match from the Town.The cost share was based on the I,' :4 I, '. Town's population. i - . _I r[1t .- "Indian Trail has grown considerably since the initial Pedestrian Plan was approved,"said Todd Huntsinger, - i director of engineering. "The grant funding will allow us to update the plan to meet the needs of our grow- ing community by providing additional means of connectivity,walkability and recreation for our residents. '- - _-_ - _- The updated Pedestrian Plan will also tie into our existing five-year Capital Improvement Plan that focuses — -•— - on improving amenities and infrastructure." Next Steps According to NCDOT's timeline,a municipal agreement will be executed in the next couple of months pending approval by the Indian Trail Town Council. A notice to proceed will be issued in early 2023. At that time,the Town will be able to begin updating the Pedestrian Plan. The traditional plan completion deadline is approximately 12 months from the notice to proceed. Contact Information Town of Indian Trail - Now Hiring!

Stormwater is rainwater or melted snow that flows over land,paved streets,parking lots and rooftops.When this runoff is absorbed into the soil, it is naturally filtered and flows into rivers and streams. In developed areas, however, there are more impervious surfaces that prevent water from soaking into the ground, such as driveways, roads and buildings. This causes stormwater runoff to pickup pollutants like trash, chemicals and oils that can harm our waterways. The .;; ; runoff can be just as polluted as untreated sewer. „ What is a Stormwater Utility Fee? The Town has a stormwater fee for all residential and non-residential properties. It is used for: • Ensuring Town compliance with federal and state water quality regulations • Infrastructure improvement and maintenance programs • Inspections of detention ponds • Investigating spills or reports of illegal dumping For residential properties,the stormwater fee is determined by the footprint of the home: • Tier 1: Less than 2,060 square feet= $4.43 per month • Tier 2: Greater than 2,060 square feet = $5.30 per month Non-residential stormwater fees are calculated based on Equivalent Residential Units (ERUs). An ERU is the average square foot of a residential parcel. One ERU equals 2,060 square feet. The fee is calculated at a rate of$3.38 per ERU per month. For example, a non-residential (i.e. com- mercial) property with 31,746 square feet of impervious surface has 15.4 ERUs and would pay a yearly fee of$624.63. What is the Town doing to manage stormwater runoff? In addition to the stormwater fee, Indian Trail: • Enforces development regulations to control runoff • Operates a three-year schedule for clearing creeks and performing routine maintenance of the stormwater system • Contracted with WithersRavenel, Inc. on a 13-month Watershed Management Study. Information from the study will serve as a blueprint to implement water quality improvements. You can learn more about this on page 2. The Town's Stormwater Advisory Committee also meets quarterly to focus on stormwater issues in neighborhoods and roadways. What can residents do to help improve stormwater quality? There are many ways you can help prevent the pollution of our stormwater system, including: • Keeping storm drains free from litter, leaves and other debris • Following landscape watering guidelines • Controlling pests in your yard and garden without using chemicals • Washing your car in your yard instead of your driveway • Reporting illegal dumping in the Town by calling 704-821-8173 You can learn more about the Town's stormwater services at+ittps://www.indiantrail.org/298/Stormwater-Services.

Indian Trail Receives Grant to Assist with Pedestrian Planning The Town of Indian Trail was one of only 10 municipalities to receive grant funding as part of the North .=, Carolina Department of Transportation's(NCDOT)Multimodal Planning Grant program.The annual match- ill. ing grant program helps communities develop comprehensive plans for expanding bicycle, pedestrian and/or transit facilities. The Town was awarded $70,000 to update its existing Pedestrian Plan,which was first adopted in 2009. , . 1 ,t" g The$70,000 includes the$21,000,or 30 percent,match from the Town.The cost share was based on the I,' :4 I, '. Town's population. i - . _I r[1t .- "Indian Trail has grown considerably since the initial Pedestrian Plan was approved,"said Todd Huntsinger, - i director of engineering. "The grant funding will allow us to update the plan to meet the needs of our grow- ing community by providing additional means of connectivity,walkability and recreation for our residents. '- - _-_ - _- The updated Pedestrian Plan will also tie into our existing five-year Capital Improvement Plan that focuses — -•— - on improving amenities and infrastructure." Next Steps According to NCDOT's timeline,a municipal agreement will be executed in the next couple of months pending approval by the Indian Trail Town Council. A notice to proceed will be issued in early 2023. At that time,the Town will be able to begin updating the Pedestrian Plan. The traditional plan completion deadline is approximately 12 months from the notice to proceed. Contact Information Town of Indian Trail - Now Hiring!

The IDDE Plan includes procedures for identifying and tracking the sources of illicit discharges to the Towns' MS4 and establishing of a plan for eliminating or removing the sources.The IDDE Plan also includes procedures for identifying priority areas likely to have illicit discharges.A procedure for updating the map of drainage system components on a priority basis per the approved illicit discharge program has also been developed and is included in the IDDE Program. The IDDE Program is organized as follows: Section 1—Introduction Section 2—Outfall and Drainage Area Mapping Section 3—Field Identification and Detection of Illicit Discharges Section 4—Illicit Discharge Tracking Procedures Section 5—Removal of Illicit Discharge Sources Section 6—Identification of Priority Areas Likely to Have Illicit Discharges Section 7—Updating Drainage System Components Section 8—Additional IDDE Program Requirements Section 9—References Illicit Discharge Detection & Elimination Plan Town of Indian Trail June 2022 1 2 Outfall and Drainage Area Mapping Approximately 80 miles of stream within the Town of Indian Trail will be traversed by field crews to collect storm drainage outfall points. These points will consist of pipes that are 12-inches in diameter and larger, and open channel points with drainage areas of two acres and greater (provided channel has at least a 12-inch pipe contributing to the channel/ditch). An Indian Trail Outfall Inventory Map showing the location of Indian Trail's open channels, outfalls, and receiving waters has been prepared. The latest outfall inventoy is included in Appendix A, the Illicit Discharge Priority Areas map . This map can assist in providing a basis for the future prioritization of outfalls and watershed areas in terms of their potential to contribute non-stormwater entries into the MS4 as described in Section 6, Identification of Priority Areas Likely to Have Illicit Discharges. Illicit Discharge Detection & Elimination Plan Town of Indian Trail June 2022 2 3 Field Identification and Detection of Illicit Discharges There are two components to illicit discharge identification in the field: visual identification of illicit discharges and identification through dry weather screening methods.The procedures that will be used to detect illicit discharges through field investigation in Indian Trail are discussed below. 3. 1 Visual Identification of Illicit Discharges Visual identification of illicit discharges will first be performed in conjunction with data collection for the outfall inventory. While the field crews are conducting the channel walks for purposes of outfall inventory, outfalls with flowing water after 72-hours of no precipitation are noted for further investigation during the dry weather screening phase. In addition,the detection of a variety of certain physical parameters during the Indian Trail Outfall Inventory phase can be useful indicators of potential illicit discharges.The physical parameters to be noted in the digital database during the Indian Trail Outfall Inventory pass in Indian Trail for this purpose are described as follows: • Odor—The odor of stormwater discharges will vary widely. Odor can be a good indicator of the type of pollutant in the water. For instance,stormwater discharges may smell like sewage, oil, gasoline, or may contain a chemical smell. Decomposition of organic materials can also cause a distinctive sulfur odor. Odors may vary greatly with changes in temperature and time of year. • Color—Color can also be an important factor in determining the source of an illicit discharge. The particular color should be noted and tracked upstream as far as possible. Sewage will typically have a gray or brown color, whereas industrial wastes may have a variety of colors. • Turbidity—Turbidity is a measure of the amount of suspended matter in the water and affects the clarity of the discharge. Discharges from industrial facilities are often highly turbid. Although erosion can also create highly turbid water, this should not be the case during dry weather flows. Each inspection should note the relative degree of turbidity. • Oil Sheen — An oily sheen on water near a stormwater outfall can be an indicator of illicit discharges from petroleum refineries or storage facilities, vehicle service facilities including vehicle wash facilities, and dumping of used oil products into storm drains. • Scum—Scum forms on the water surface when there is an excessive growth of algae and is also associated with a foul odor. Harmful and excessive growth of algae are generally caused by excessive nutrients. • Sediment/Debris—Excessive sediment and debris near a stormwater outfall can be indicative of construction site runoff problems. Illicit Discharge Detection & Elimination Plan Town of Indian Trail June 2022 3 • Vegetation—Vegetation growing in the immediate discharge area should be noted in relation to vegetation growing in the general vicinity of the outlet. Certain discharges can cause substantial changes in plant growth. Discharges containing a high nutrient content may cause increased growth while discharges with severe changes in pH may cause a decrease in growth. Although vegetation patterns may serve as an indicator of non-stormwater discharges, they are also difficult to interpret. Time of year, rainfall patterns, and exposure to sun all affect plant growth and may be contributing factors to the changes in vegetation patterns. Caution should be used when considering vegetation as an indicator of an illicit discharge. It is important not to confuse adverse scouring effects of high stormwater flows on vegetation withy highly toxic dry-weather intermittent flows. • Structural Damage—Structural damage to the conveyance system can also be an indicator of an illicit discharge. Structural damage is typically more noticeable in concrete pipes. Acidic discharges may cause cracking, spalling, or deterioration of the concrete. The location of the damage within the pipe and the distance upstream will be important in determining the type of pollutant and the source of the discharge. Poor construction, hydraulic scour, and old age may also adversely affect the condition of the outfall structure which are not indications of illicit discharges. Some of the types of illicit discharges that can be identified through visual identification and physical data include: • Sanitary sewer overflows/leaks • Broken manholes • Septic tank leaks • Gray water discharges from residences • Erosion and sediment control problems • Public dumping of trash • Car wash discharge • Unnatural volume,temperature, color, or odor issues involving drainage flows 3.2 Dry Weather Screening to Detect Illicit Discharges The objective of the dry weather screening phase is to identify all outfalls that have a base flow after 72-hours of continuous dry condition after a storm event of 0.1 inches or less. The dry weather screening requires a second pass of the open channels by a field crew during appropriate weather conditions using the outfall locations provided by the inventory pass.Weather conditions in Indian Trail will be monitored via the Charlotte-Monroe Executive Airport rainfall station. Discharge coming from a storm sewer pipe or open channel after a few days of no precipitation may indicate the presence of an illicit discharge. In order to identify this type of illicit discharge, the flow must be observed after the specified period of continuous dry weather conditions and sampled for key chemical parameters. Only major outfalls with observed dry weather flow are required to be sampled. Illicit Discharge Detection & Elimination Plan Town of Indian Trail June 2022 4 3.2.1 Selection of Chemical Sampling Parameters It has been determined that the following chemical parameters are sufficient in helping to detect the major pollutants found in the stormwater runoff from the major types of land use categories (residential, business district(commercial), institutional, industrial)found in Indian Trail: • pH—The normal pH of ground water typically ranges from 6.6 to 8.8. Values outside of this range are an indicator of an illicit discharge.Water with values less than 6.6 are acidic and may indicate discharges from textile mills, pharmaceutical manufacturers, metal fabricators, and companies that produce resins, fertilizers, or pesticides. Wastes containing sulfuric, hydrochloric, or nitric acids are a common source of contamination. Water with values greater than 8.8 may indicate discharges from industries such as textile mills, metal plating facilities, steel mills, and producers of rubber and plastic. Wash water used to clean floors and industrial machinery may also produce alkaline wastewater. • Copper — Elevated levels of copper may indicate discharges from cooling, boiler, or industrial re-circulation systems. Copper sulfate is typically used as an algaecide in all of these systems. Copper can also be an indicator of discharges from an automobile manufacturing or maintenance facility. Normal ranges of copper are 0.0 to 0.399 mg/L. • Phenols — Elevated levels of phenols may indicate industrial wastewater discharges. Caution should be exercised; however, since phenols may also be present in other waste streams, phenols should be considered in relation to other parameters in determining the potential source. Normal ranges of phenols are 0.0 to 0.5 mg/L. • Surfactants/Detergents — Typically, the presence of surfactants and detergents will indicate a connection to either an automobile wash facility or a laundry facility. High surfactants/detergents and elevated temperatures are good indicators of laundry facilities. Lower levels of surfactants/detergents may indicate a connection to a residential laundry or industrial facility. Normal ranges of surfactants/detergents are 0.0 to 0.06 mg/L. • Chlorine—The absence of chlorine may indicate a natural water source. However, due to chlorine's ability to dissipate quickly, caution should be used when making judgments based on its absence. Generally, only potable water sources will contain chlorine. Therefore, the presence of chlorine ensures that the source is not a natural water source. Very high levels(above 0.5 mg/L) of chlorine typically indicate a connection to a swimming pool or other potable water source. Normal ranges of chlorine are 0.0 to 0.06 mg/L. • Temperature—Water temperature that varies greatly from the ambient air temperature is a good indicator that there is an illicit discharge to the system. 3.2.2 Sampling and Analysis Procedures Two grab samples will be taken and analyzed at all outfalls that have a base flow after 72-hours of continuous dry conditions.The two samples will be taken at least 4-hours apart and no greater than 24-hours apart. The samples will be analyzed in the field for phenols, surfactants, chlorine, Illicit Discharge Detection & Elimination Plan Town of Indian Trail June 2022 5 and copper using Hach Stormwater Test Kits and CHEMetrics Kits. These test kits allow the field measurements of pH, total chlorine, copper, phenols, and detergents/surfactants. The detection range of the kit along with the "normal" concentration range for each of these parameters is provided in Table 1. Table 1.

The Town of Indian Trail has made arrangements with a hazardous waste disposal company to provide two temporary storage containers to store the waste.The Town will provide the necessary secondary containment for storage of the containers in a secure well ventilated area on Town property for the field crews to dispose of the sampling waste. Once the first container is almost full, the hazardous waste disposal company will be called to collect the container and replace it with an empty container. Illicit Discharge Detection & Elimination Plan Town of Indian Trail June 2022 6 4 Illicit Discharge Tracking Procedures The following paragraphs describe the procedures for tracking illicit discharges in Indian Tail. 4. 1 Step 1 - Data Analysis, Third Screening Sample Once the field screening and sampling activities have been completed for an area as described in Section 3, the data collected will be analyzed to identify problem outfalls and flow components. The field screening and sampling data,which includes physical and chemical evaluations of outfall and/or discharge conditions, will be used as an initial effort to identify the outfalls needing more detailed drainage area investigations, which would identify specific pollutant sources. If either of the two samples taken of a dry weather flow results in out-of-range data for any of the pollutants being tested for, a third dry weather screening operation will be conducted at the outfall to verify flow and pollutant concentration. If verification of out-of-range data is made after the third screening sample, tracking the discharge upstream to its source is required. Determination of any further actions that may be needed to ensure the removal of the illicit discharges will also be required. Based on the collected field and sampling data, the following procedures will be used for the particular situation: Situation 1 — If the two initial dry weather samples are out-of-range for a particular analyte (chlorine, copper, surfactants, phenols), there is no need to take a third sample. The flow from this outfall will be tracked upstream as far as possible or until a definitive source is reached. If the flow splits off in multiple directions,those flows will be analyzed to determine which path the "illicit" flow is coming from to eliminate the action of tracking the discharge in the wrong direction. Situation 2—If only one of the two samples is out of range for a particular analyte,then a third sample must be analyzed to determine if what was observed was a sampling error or an intermittent or continuous flowing illicit discharge.The third sample should only be analyzed for analytes that were out-of-range in at least one of the two earlier samples. If all parameters in the third sample are within range,then the flow will not be tracked, but it should be checked in future years to ensure that there is not an intermittent illicit flow. The flow will be tracked if the third sample is out-of-range for any parameter. Situation 3 —All samples are within range, but a visual or olfactory indicator indicates a potential illicit. Field crews will return to the outfall in question,and if a visual key or odor indicates evidence of a potential illicit discharge,then the flow will be tracked to a source using these indicators only. For all tracking activities, once a point is reached where the field crew can go no further, that point will become the "source" that is reported. If a pipe less than or equal to 12-inches in diameter contains an illicit discharge,than it is most likely directly tied to the industry or residence source. If, during the tracking, a business name or street address can be determined, it will be noted at the point placed for the source. Sometimes, the investigation will be interrupted by an Illicit Discharge Detection & Elimination Plan Town of Indian Trail June 2022 7 industry's perimeter fence or a system network that does not have manholes. In these situations, the flow has been tracked as far as possible and this is the source that will be indicated within the tracking database. 4.2 Step 2 - Cross Check Stormwater Facility Inventory and Priority Area Maps Typically,the majority of illicit discharges and connections will be either wash water or a sanitary sewer source.These potential sources should first be cross-checked with the watershed's facility inventory(water, sewer), if available,to determine possible connections. In addition, information collected regarding priority, industrial and high-risk areas within the Town, as discussed in Section 6 below, can also be used to help track illicit discharges to their sources.The location of the identified illicit discharges can be identified on the Priority Area Map and cross-checked using the chemical and physical parameters with the information available from the Priority Area Map and the Outfall Inventory Map. 4.3 Step 3 - Follow Dry Weather Flow Upstream The next step in tracing an illicit discharge is to follow dry weather flows upstream along the conveyance system to narrow the location of the source. This is accomplished by taking the following steps: • Check the next upstream manhole with a junction to see if there is evidence of the dry weather flow. Sample the flow if possible. • Keep checking and sampling at upstream junctions until a junction is found with no evidence of the dry weather flow. • The discharge source is likely to be located between the junction with no evidence of discharge and the next downstream junction. • After the main trunk line of the discharge source is identified,the branch lines can be similarly evaluated. Once the discharge is sufficiently isolated, it may be possible to identify the source using the location and the data collected in Steps 1 and 2. 4.4 Step 4 - Potential Additional Steps If the source of an illicit discharge cannot be identified by using the procedures and data collected in Steps 1 through 3, there are additional tests and procedures that may be employed.These are described in the following paragraphs. 4.4.1 Dye Testing Dye testing involves flushing non-toxic dye into toilets and sinks of buildings in the vicinity of the isolated discharge area and observing storm and sanitary sewer manholes and storm sewer Illicit Discharge Detection & Elimination Plan Town of Indian Trail June 2022 8 outfalls for the presence of the dye. It is necessary to inform building owners and occupants prior to performing this test to gain permission for entry. Local public health and state water quality staff should be notified so that they will be prepared to answer questions from citizens calling about any dye observed in surface waters. 4.4.2 Smoke Testing Smoke testing involves injecting non-toxic smoke into the storm sewer lines and then noting the emergence of smoke from sanitary sewer vents in illegally connected buildings or cracks and leaks in the storm sewer lines. It is used to survey an area all at once in contrast to dye testing, which tests one building at a time. Prior to performing this test, it is necessary to inform building owners and occupants in the area as well as police and fire departments. The smoke may cause minor irritation of respiratory passages; special attention should be made to identify residents or occupants that should not be present during tests. Smoke testing is more effective in inflow/infiltration investigations of sanitary sewer lines than in detecting illegal connections to the storm sewer system. 4.4.3 Video Inspection Mobile video cameras can be guided remotely through storm sewer lines to observe and record possible illegal connections. This technique is time consuming and expensive but thorough, non- intrusive to the public, and usually definitive. 4.4.4 Aerial Infrared or Thermal Photography Aerial infrared and/or thermal photography is most useful in locating illicit discharges from failing septic systems using soil moisture, temperature, and vegetation as markers. This technique involves interpreting the aerial photographs for evidence of increased soil moisture, vegetation and/or temperature close to the failing septic systems. Illicit Discharge Detection & Elimination Plan Town of Indian Trail June 2022 9 5 Removal of Illicit Discharge Sources Upon identification of the source of the illicit discharge or illegal dumping, the responsible party should be notified by the Town of Indian Trail to cease the improper practices. All appropriate regulatory agencies should be notified of the discharge, which may vary depending on the type of discharge and its location. NCDEQ should be notified of enforcement actions taken. The violator may be fined or summoned in accordance with the Town's Stormwater Control and Management Ordinance. The Town may conduct follow-up inspections to verify compliance with the order to cease and desist further discharges and ensure that any clean-up procedures required to mitigate damages caused by the discharge were completed. Illicit Discharge Detection & Elimination Plan Town of Indian Trail June 2022 10 6 Identification of Priority Areas Likely to Have Illicit Discharges As described in Section 2, an Indian Trail Outfall Inventory Map showing the location of Indian Trail's outfalls and receiving waters will be updated. This map can be used to help determine priority areas that may likely have future illicit discharges, and where prioritized attention should be given, as appropriate. A Priority Area Map should be created to identify the areas deemed to have a higher likelihood of illicit discharge or illicit connection. Priority, commercial, industrial, or areas with a high risk for contributing substantial pollutants to the MS4 could include: • Landfills, other treatment, storage, or disposal facilities. • Hazardous waste treatment, storage, disposal, and recovery facilities. • Facilities subject to the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act(EPCRA) Title III, Section 313. • Businesses subject to wastewater pretreatment rules. • Businesses falling under certain Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Codes or business sectors with a record of enforcement actions. • Older areas of Town which predate more stringent construction codes regarding illegal connections to the storm sewer system and may have deteriorating sewer and/or storm sewer infrastructure that can lead to infiltration problems. • Areas where there have been repeated complaints of illegal dumping or apparently contaminated discharges (once a public reporting mechanism is in place (see Section 8.3) these locations can be identified in a GIS database and mapped). • Locations identified from ambient water quality sampling data such as the state's list of impaired waters (303(d) list). • Location of septic tanks. These types of facilities within the Town of Indian Trail should be identified and located on the Indian Trail Priority Area Map. Information relating to industrial and commercial activities can be obtained from existing NPDES permits in North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) database at https://deq.nc.gov/permits-rules/permit-directory/list-permits#C. The Priority Area Map can be used in conjunction with the illicit discharges identified during the screening phase in order to track (Section 4) the discharges to their sources. The existing Illicit Discharge Priority Areas Map is found in Appendix A.The map is treated as a living document and will continue to be added to and adjusted as additional data becomes available. Illicit Discharge Detection & Elimination Plan Town of Indian Trail June 2022 11 7 Updating Drainage System Components This section describes procedures for updating the map of drainage system components on a priority basis. This procedure includes the addition of new outfalls to the Indian Trail Outfall Inventory Map on an annual basis. The location of these new stormwater components can be obtained from the plan review and approval process through the Town of Indian Trail's Planning and/or Engineering Departments. On an annual basis, all new outfalls, including modifications and replacements, can be field located using GPS equipment and added to the ArcGIS Field Maps database. When the Town of Indian Trail completes preparation of the stormwater system inventory, additions and revisions to both channel outfalls and stormwater system components should be located and surveyed each year, and the data entered into the Town's databases. Illicit Discharge Detection & Elimination Plan Town of Indian Trail June 2022 12 8 Additional IDDE Program Requirements In addition to tracking, locating, and eliminating illicit discharges to the MS4, an effective IDDE Program must also include components to prevent problems from developing and provide an environment where future problems will be avoided. The following items are, therefore, also required as part of the implementation of an effective IDDE Program for the Town of Indian Trail: • Employee training • Public education • Public reporting mechanism • Legal authority/enforcement procedures • Data management Although not mandatory, an efficient data management system will also provide for a more effective IDDE Program. Each of these additional IDDE Program components is discussed below. 8. 1 Employee Training Engineering and stormwater staff,as well as other appropriate Town staff,should receive specific technical training on the requirements of the IDDE Program and the techniques that will be used to carry it out. In addition, other Town employees can play an important role in the detection and prevention of illicit discharges. For example,employees who provide catch basin maintenance can look for signs of illicit discharges. Police officers and other public works employees whose jobs keep them outside and mobile in the community can help spot illegal dumpers. Fire and police department personnel who respond to hazardous material spills can help keep the spills out of the storm sewer system and adjacent waterbodies. A training program for Town employees on pollution prevention techniques is one of the six required Minimum Measures of the Town's NPDES MS4 permit. Training related to IDDE and prevention can be a part of this training. 8.2 Public Education Educating the public can significantly reduce the number of pollutants that end up in the storm drainage system. Public education is one of the six minimum measures required of the Town of Indian Trail's NPDES MS4 permit. Therefore, IDDE outreach can be integrated into the Town's larger stormwater public education program. Suggested items for the public education program include: • A storm drain stenciling program to increase community awareness. Illicit Discharge Detection & Elimination Plan Town of Indian Trail June 2022 13 • Creation of a mailing database of potential polluters and implementing targeted mailings to owners of septic systems, landscapers, pressure washers, various contractors, restaurants, etc. • An organized, systematic program for disconnecting commercial and industrial non- stormwater entries into the storm drainage system for industrial and commercial businesses. • Disconnecting direct sanitary sewerage connections. 8.3 Public Reporting Mechanism A coordinated system for collecting and tracking complaints of illegal dumping can help identify and eliminate this difficult source of illicit discharges. The following procedures can be used to handle complaints of illegal dumping or discharges to the storm sewer system: • Establish a "hotline" or identify a "person to notify" to report illegal dumping behavior • Advertise the hotline/ notification procedure in public education materials • Complaints received by the Town of Indian Trail, whether called in or received in writing, should include as much information as possible(e.g.,who,when, and where illegally dumped occurred) • Log complaints in an illicit discharge database. Note where dumping occurs most often, record patterns of time of day and day of week and note common responsible parties, if known • Investigate the reported complaint by observing the materials that have been illegally dumped • Trace the potential sources of materials, if possible • Prepare a detailed report of the results of the investigation • Notify the complainant of the results of the investigation 8.4 Legal Authority/ Enforcement Procedures Illicit discharge prohibition provisions are included in Section 60.04, Stormwater Control and Management Ordinance, adopted by the Town of Indian Trail in June 2007 and amended in June 2020. The Town's Stormwater Control and Management Ordinance provides authority to implement all components of the IDDE Program. In addition, the Ordinance allows for enforcement actions to be taken for illicit discharge violations, including levying penalties against offenders and providing compensatory measures to the Town should intervention and removal of the discharge become necessary. The enforcement methodology involves notification of the property owner, establishing a reasonable timeframe to address the occurrence, and issuing notices of violation and fines. Enforcement procedures are discussed above in Section 5, Removal of Illicit Discharge Sources. 8.5 Data Management The Indian Trail Outfall Inventory database should be used to track all field screening and illicit connection activities.The database will then house the results of field screening activities for each Illicit Discharge Detection & Elimination Plan Town of Indian Trail June 2022 14 outfall and can then be used to generate reporting of the field activities by outfall and to allow rapid analysis of the data. The database should also be used to store the results of the illicit connection investigations of each outfall, generate reports, and assist in data analysis including future assessment and evaluation of the IDDE Program. An assessment and evaluation program must quantify whether the IDDE Program is being successful or not. Information and data to be collected and included in the data management system should include but not be limited to the following: • Number of outfalls inspected • Number of outfalls with dry weather flows observed • Number of outfalls with pollution problems identified • Percentage of dry weather flows with pollution problems • Number of sources determined • Number of pollution problems eliminated • Percentage of pollution problems eliminated • Number of stream miles walked This information will be reviewed and evaluated to determine if the program needs to be modified in order to accomplish the intent of the Stormwater Program. 8.6 IDDE Program Schedule A list of all required IDDE Program elements per Indian Trail's NPDES MS4 Permit No. NCS000453, along with the related BMPs, measurable goal(s), schedule for implementation, and annul reporting metric are summarized in the Town's latest Stormwater Management Program(SWMP).

Section 60.9 - Stormwater Management Service Charges A. Developed land in the Town, whether public or private, shall be subject to a stormwater service charge. Exemptions shall not be allowed based on age, tax exemption or other status of an individual or organization. Stormwater service charges may be subject to a credit system as further provided herein. B. Stormwater service charges on developed land shall be based on a schedule of rates, charges, tiers and late fees fixed and established from time to time by the Town Council, adopted in the annual budget ordinance and maintained on file in the offices of the Town Clerk. Stormwater service charges will be determined and modified from time to time by the Town Council, so that the total revenues generated by said charges will be used to pay the principal and the interest on the debt incurred for stormwater purposes, and such expenses as are reasonably necessary for providing stormwater services within the Town of Indian Trail. C. Computation of stormwater service charges: 1. For single-family developed residential land, the monthly stormwater service charges shall be based on the median amount of impervious surface on a single-family residential lot in the Town, which is known as an "Equivalent Residential Unit" or ERU. (The median amount of impervious surfaces on a single-family residential lot in the Town of Indian Trail has been calculated to be 2,060 square feet). There shall be two tiers for single-family developed properties based on the amounts of impervious surfaces of single-family properties as shown in the following table. _Tier _ Residential Rate _ Tier 1: <_ 2,060 sq. ft. $4.43 per parcel per month Tier 2: > 2,060 sq. ft. $5.30 per parcel per month 2. For other developed residential land, the monthly stormwater service charges shall be one ERC per each dwelling unit. This category includes townhouses, apartments, condominiums and other multi- unit residential developments. Ord #312 P. 5 3. For all other developed properties, the monthly stormwater service charge on developed land is calculated by dividing the total impervious surface area of the property by one (1) ERU, rounded to the nearest tenth, multiplied by the established monthly ERU rate (as shown below): ERU Non-Residential Rate ERU= 2,060 sq. ft. of impervious area Rate= $3.38 per ERU per month 4. The following exemptions from stormwater management service charges are allowed if requests for exemptions authorized under subsections (4) and (5) are made in writing to the Town Manager or his designee and document the application of the exemption.

Developed land with less than four hundred (400) square feet of impervious surface area. v. Cemeteries, excluding buildings located on cemetery property greater or equal to four hundred (400) square feet of impervious surface area. Churches with attached graveyards shall not be included in this exemption. Section 60.10 - Billing Method, Responsible Parties, Collection A.

Any adjustment to the Stormwater Utility Fee for the person pursuing an adjustment shall be made by refund of the amount affected. B. Credits Ord#312 P. 7 1. The Town may provide a system of credits to reduce stormwater service charges for properties on which stormwater control measures substantially mitigate the peak discharge or runoff pollution flowing from such properties or substantially decrease the Town's cost of maintaining the stormwater management system. The Town Manager or his designee will develop written policies to implement the credit system and codify said policies. No credit will be authorized until the Town Council approves written policies to implement the system of credits; a copy of the approved policies shall be on file with the Town Clerk. The Town's policies may make credits retroactive to the date stormwater management service charges were initiated but not to exceed one (1) year. Any bill charges requiring adjustments must be applied through the utility billing system. But no credit will be granted for more than one (1) past year. Nothing shall prevent the Town Council from modifying the adopted system of credits and such modifications may apply to holders of existing credits. 2. Each credit allowed against the stormwater management service charge is conditioned on the continuing proper operation, maintenance and functioning of the stormwater control measure as designed; credited stormwater control measures must comply with all applicable laws, ordinance and regulations, and credits may be rescinded for noncompliance with these standards. 3. Each credit for which a customer applies shall be subject to review and approval by the Director of Engineering or his designee. The Director of Engineering may approve or reject any application for a credit in whole or in part. 4. Credits shall only be applied to developed lands containing the credited stormwater control measure. For developments with common property containing credited stormwater control measures such as townhouse developments, cluster unit developments or condominiums, each dwelling unit shall be eligible for its equal pro rata share of the credit unless other arrangements for billing the stormwater service charge are made.

The O&M Manual should guide the Town of Indian Trail Public Works Department on the Town's specific stormwater management practices. Stormwater management practices are included in this manual for the Town's facilities, vehicles,equipment, pavement,stormwater sewer system, structural controls,and management of chemicals. Each section will include an overview of the systems in place, including a definition and location (if applicable) of these systems. The section will cover general guidance and Best Management Practices (BMPs) and include instruction on maintenance, inspection, scheduling, and training as needed. The section may include checklists for inspection and maintenance as well as training logs. While the O&M Manual will be a reference for these forms, additional checklists and training logs will also be provided for easier access. 1 .2 Objectives The specific objectives of this O&M Manual are to: • Serve as a guide for Town of Indian Trail staff on the definitions, practices, and locations regarding stormwater management. • Provide maintenance, inspection, and training overviews and materials for stormwater management measures to control the quantity and quality of stormwater produced by municipal activities. • Assist the Town of Indian Trail in meeting Stormwater Phase II requirements. o Encourage the use of BMPs within each watershed for the goal of consistent long-term application; o Encourage cost savings for the MS4 through proper and timely maintenance of stormwater systems; o And promote behavior that will improve water quality in the Town of Indian Trail. 1 .3 MS4 Permit The Town of Indian Trail is subject to the NPDES M54 permit # NC5000453. This permit authorizes discharges of stormwater to Crooked Creek,North Fork Crooked Creek,South Fork Crooked Creek,Davis Mine Creek,Goose Creek, Price Mill Creek,West Fork Creek,Twelve Mile Creek,and unnamed tributaries within the Catawba River and Yadkin- Pee Dee River Basins. A condition of this permit is to comply with certain BMPs including O&M for municipally- owned facilities,roads,pavement,and stormwater controls.BMPs include pollution prevention,good housekeeping, and training for a number of municipal operations.This document,in part,is meant to comply with the requirement to maintain an O&M Plan for municipal facilities and operations. 1 .4 Stormwater Overview Urbanized runoff is defined as the stormwater that flows over an urbanized area and poses a risk to the water quality of receiving waterways as it is regularly exposed to sediment, bacteria, nutrients,and other contaminants.To lower this risk and to keep the receiving waterways free of pollutants, it is important that municipal system operators identify which activities pose a risk of adding pollutants to runoff and what actions should be taken to lower the risk. This document provides information on pollution prevention for various municipal operations that may contribute Town of Indian Trail Operation and Maintenance Manual 1 July 2022 to contaminated urbanized runoff. The following table summarizes common stormwater pollutants, their sources from municipal operations, and potential impacts. Table 1:Common Stormwater Pollutants and Impacts POLLUTANT SOURCES IMPACTS • Construction sites • Destruction of plant and fish habitat Sediment • Winter salt application • Transportation of other pollutants • Vehicle washing • Increased maintenance costs • Fertilizers • Malfunctioning septic • Increased potential for algal blooms systems • Increased potential for Nutrients(phosphorus, • Vehicle washing hypoxia/anoxia (low levels of nitrogen) • Decaying grass and leaves dissolved oxygen which can kill • Sewer overflows aquatic organisms) • Leaking trash containers • Vehicle/equipment leaks • Vehicle/equipment Hydrocarbons emissions (Polycyclic Aromatic • Pesticides • Toxic at low levels Hydrocarbons) • Fuel spills • Improper fuel storage and disposal • Vehicle brake/tire wear • Vehicle/equipment exhaust • Batteries • Toxic at low levels Heavy Metals • Galvanized metal • Drinking water contamination • Paint • Fuels • Malfunctioning septic . Risk to human health Pathogens systems • Drinking water contamination • Sewer leaks and overflows • Improper or illegal waste • Potential risk to human health Debris/Litter disposal and storage • Decreased aquatic life • Littering • Unattractive Town of Indian Trail Operation and Maintenance Manual 2 July 2022 2 Facilities Section 2.1 will describe general inspection and maintenance activities that can be employed across all City facilities to reduce the likelihood of pollutants entering stormwater runoff. Section 2.2 provides specific inspection and maintenance activities for the five (5) identified facilities owned and maintained by the Town. Each facility is identified by its name and location along with a brief description of the facility's purpose.Information for each facility also includes; potential pollutants in runoff from the facility, BMPs to be employed, the facility's inspection and maintenance schedule, and training. 2. 1 General Inspection and Maintenance Activities The most effective way to maintain your facility is to prevent pollutants from entering the facility in the first place. Common pollutants include sediment, trash and debris, chemicals, pet wastes, runoff from stored materials, and fluids from motor vehicles. The facility maintenance program will include measures to address potential contaminants. Key points in a maintenance program include: • Educating employees/residents on how their actions impact water; quality and how they can help reduce maintenance costs; • Keeping properties,streets,curb and gutters,and parking lots free of trash, debris, and lawn clippings; • Ensuring the proper disposal of hazardous wastes and chemicals; • Planning lawn care to minimize the use of pesticides, herbicides,and fertilizers(PHFs); • Sweeping or blowing grass clippings from paved surfaces and putting the clippings in a compost pile or back on the lawn; • Being aware of automobiles and equipment leaking fluids; • Using absorbents such as clay or cat litter to soak up drippings and dispose of properly; • Re-vegetating disturbed and bare areas to maintain vegetative stabilization; • And storing materials under cover (including landscaping materials) unless they are otherwise protected from stormwater runoff. 2.1 .1 Education The education of the public and Town staff who use and maintain the facilities is an important step in stormwater pollution prevention.Typical,education methods include: • Posting signage to prevent littering and encourage pet waste pickup; • Providing pet waste and trash stations for easy access to properly dispose of waste; • Hosting public education meetings on the prevention of stormwater pollution; • Providing public service announcements; • And hosting trash pick-up walks or other interactive events. 2.1 .2 General Maintenance 2.1.2.1 Pressure Washing/ Equipment Washing • When using soaps and detergents to wash on a paved area, utilize a wastewater collection device,such as a sump pump or wet vacuum to collect wash water and associated solids.Then dispose of wastes properly. • If soaps and detergents aren't used to wash on a paved area, screen the wash water with a filter fabric, other type of screen,or in a catch basin drop insert to trap solids. Town of Indian Trail Operation and Maintenance Manual 3 July 2022 • When pressure washing on a grassed area, disperse runoff as sheet flow in a way that won't harm or kill the grass. Prevent the runoff from reaching paved surfaces. 2.1.2.2 Trash and Waste Disposal • Trash bins and dumpsters should be covered at all times. • Trash bins and dumpsters should be routinely emptied to prevent overflow. • Cleaning products and chemicals should be disposed of as per the label instructions. 2.1.2.3 Material Storage • Limit storing large quantities of material by ordering on an as needed basis. • Identify all hazardous and nonhazardous substances present in the facility. • Maintain an inventory of all substances used/stored at each facility. • Handle and dispose of materials safely. o Follow directions on the product's label. o Follow directions on the SDS document. o Follow directions on any specific procedures for your department. • Store materials out of high traffic areas. o This helps prevent accidents that may cause spills and helps any spilled material from being spread by traffic. • Keep temporarily stockpiled material covered and away from water flow, drain inlets and waterways. • Spill trapping devices recommended: o Indoors-store barrels on a spill containment base. o Outdoors-storage areas should be bordered by a curb or berm to contain spills. 2.1 .3 Landscaping and Lawn Care For use of pesticides, herbicide, and fertilizer refer to Section 7 - Pesticide, Herbicide, and Fertilizer (PHF) management. • Mow only as low as needed for the area's intended use,try to vary mowing pattern. • Water at appropriate times(when no rain is forecasted). • Do not dispose of collected vegetation in waterways or storm drainage systems. Instead, dispose of grass clippings, leaves, sticks, and various other forms of vegetation as compost, reusing it in other areas that may need soil or stabilization. If composting is not available,dispose of the waste as garbage. • In areas with exposed soils use erosion control BMPs such as mulching, rip rap or erosion control blankets for stabilization. 2.1 .4 Repair, Remodeling, and Construction • When doing outdoor painting, scraping, or sandblasting work use ground or drop cloths underneath work areas and properly dispose of the collected material daily. • If the work could lead to dust,grit,wash water or other pollutants leaving the work site, install a device to control runoff. Examples include a storm drain cover, filter fabric, or similarly effective runoff control mechanism. Put the device into place before work begins and dispose of the collected spoils before removing the device at the end of the day. • When mixing paint or cleaning tools use a ground cloth and/or secondary containment. Rinse water-based paints from brushes and tools into a sink that is connected to a sanitary sewer, never directly into a waterbody or storm drain inlet. Collect and properly dispose of used solvents when cleaning oil-based paints,finishes, and similar materials. Recycle the used solvents when possible. Town of Indian Trail Operation and Maintenance Manual 4 July 2022 • When dewatering an excavation site,filter the water through sediment filters or utilize a woven geotextile dewatering bag. Sediment-laden water can be pumped into a dewatering bag that allows filtered water to flow through. • Keep toxic materials and sediment storage covered by a tarp or temporary cover material when not in use to prevent the materials from contaminating runoff during a storm event. 2.2 Spill Response This section provides a general overview of appropriate spill response activities for low-risk facilities such and Town Hall and passive Parks. In the event of a spill: 1. Work quickly to lean up spills immediately, using a spill kit where possible. 2. Contain the spill by use of a drip pan or absorbent material to collect dripping fluids and protect drains to prevent liquids from entering. 3. Find the source of the spill and try and stop the leak or spill at the source. 4. Clean the spill - NEVER use a hose to rinse spills away. For liquids, soak up the spill and dispose of waste. For dry material,cover or sweep the spill. 5. Report large spills or spills of hazardous materials to your supervisor. 2.2.1 Spill Kits The Town provides multiple spill kits to streamline the process of cleaning a spill as well as providing additional safety to the personnel. 2.2.2 Public Works/Engineering Vehicles • All Vehicles include a Stardust Quick Response II Spill Kit. o These include: one (1) Yellow Duffle, fifteen (15) Universal Sorbent Pads, two (2) 3"x4' Universal Sorbent Socks,4 Disposal Bags, Nitrile Gloves. o Follow kit instructions when possible. 2.2.3 Public Works Facility • A 55-gallon spill kit is available at the facility for large spills, o Follow kit instructions when possible. 2.3 Overview of Facilities The City currently owns and maintains five (5)facilities in various locations.The facilities include Town Hall, Public Works, and three (3) park facilities. Each of these facilities present unique opportunities for pollutants entering stormwater runoff. In general, Town Hall presents the fewest opportunities for contributing pollutants to runoff. The Public Works and parks facilities present more opportunities for pollutants in runoff if not addressed. The most likely pollutants from these facilities are sediment, nutrients, trash, metals, bacteria, oil and grease, organics,and oxygen demanding pollutants.The following sections provide Best Management Practices to assist in Town of Indian Trail Operation and Maintenance Manual 5 July 2022 containing and minimizing non- stormwater discharges as well as training employees on proper stormwater good housekeeping practices. 2.3.1 Town Hall 2.3.1.1 Location and Description The Indian Trail Town Hall is located at 315 Matthews Indian Trail Road.

Town of Indian Trail Operation and Maintenance Manual 23 July 2022 4 Pavement Management 4. 1 Overview of Pavement Runoff from road and street maintenance operations has the potential to discharge sediment,trash, metals,oil and grease,organics,and oxygen demanding pollutants into receiving waterways.When performing these maintenance activities, it is important to schedule them on days with expected dry weather to minimize stormwater discharges of pollutants. Keep all stockpiled materials covered with roofs or tarps and stored away from storm drain inlets and gutters. Maintain equipment in good working condition to ensure efficiency and to prevent pollution from leaks during storage and operation. 4.2 Maintenance Activities 4.2.1 Street Repair • Inspect equipment to ensure proper working order.Address any maintenance issues before starting work to ensure that no liquids or materials are leaked into the road and/or storm drain system. • Inspect all equipment shutoff valves to ensure that they are in working order before starting work. • Transfer materials carefully to prevent splashing or spilling.Leave space in containers or equipment holding tanks to allow the material room to move or expand during activities. • Transfer and load material away from storm drains.Some materials may contain hazardous ingredients(e.g. lead). If material must be transferred near a storm drain, use inlet protection to ensure that spillage does not enter storm drains or waterways. • Prevent concrete, steel, wood, metal parts, tools, and various other work materials from reaching storm drain inlets or waterways. • Use dry cleanup methods to remove any excess material,sediment, or debris from the job site. 4.2.2 Concrete Installation and Repair • Place inlet protection device over nearby storm drain inlets before breaking up concrete or asphalt. • Minimize the amount of concrete mixed and return all leftover materials to the concrete truck. Properly dispose of all hardened excess concrete,grout, mortar,and exposed aggregate sweepings in the trash. • Store concrete mixing materials under cover and keep cement bags secured once they are open to prevent cement powder from reaching the ground. • Before making saw cuts to pavement, protect adjacent stormwater inlets with inlet protection to prevent the slurry from entering the storm drain system. To minimize slurry, use as little water as possible in the operation.Shovel or use a vactor truck to remove the slurry residue. 4.2.3 Patching, Resurfacing, and Sealing • Handle hot bituminous material away from drainage systems or watercourses. • Keep all nearby storm drain inlets covered with a waterproof material or mesh while applying seal coat. When complete, clean all excess material on the street and around the inlets with a dry method, such as sweeping or vacuuming. Dispose of all excess material properly in the trash. • Designate an area to clean equipment where the excess material can be collected and properly disposed of. Never wash out equipment over a storm drain or directly into a water body. • Minimize water usage and pressure during dust control to keep runoff and erosion to a minimum. Town of Indian Trail Operation and Maintenance Manual 24 July 2022 4.2.4 Unpaved Roads • Stabilize exposed roadside areas with native vegetation if possible. Refer to the Town's Land Development Standards Erosion Control and Stormwater Seriesfor installation of appropriate stabilization techniques and controls. • If erosion has already occurred, install temporary erosion controls such as sediment control fences, check dams,or other controls help minimize erosion before the area can be permanently stabilized. 4.2.5 Ice and Snow • Minimize the use of salt and brine for deicing purposes to the extent possible, especially near bridges and culverts. • Town only provides deicing for Town-owned parking lot facilities. No streets gets decing. 4.2.6 Litter, Leaves, and other Debris • Keep ditches,gutters, and inlets free of debris. • Sweep streets on a regular basis increasing frequency during the Fall. 4.3 Schedules PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE INSPECTION FREQUENCY MAINTENANCE FREQUENCY ACTIVITY Street Sweeping Semi-annually As needed Salt Management As needed As needed 5 Stormwater Sewer System 5. 1 Overview of Stormwater Sewer System Runoff from drainage system maintenance has the potential to discharge sediment, nutrients, trash, metals, bacteria, oil and grease, organics, and oxygen demanding pollutants into receiving waterways. When performing drainage system maintenance, it is important to regularly inspect structures and channels for damage or discharges that could contribute to pollutant loads in stormwater runoff. 5.2 Maintenance and Inspection Activities 5.2.1 Conveyance Systems • Regularly inspect structures for damage and a buildup of sediment and debris.Immediately repair structural damage if it is affecting functionality. Remove sediment and debris when inlets and catch basins appear to be approximately 25%full. • Keep a maintenance log whenever maintenance is performed on a drainage structure. • Decant/dewater waste collected from the drainage structures into an appropriate filter device.If permitted, discharge the waste into the sanitary sewer system. If discharging into the sanitary sewer system is not permitted, vacuum/pump the water into a tank and then dispose of both the solids and liquids properly. Town of Indian Trail Operation and Maintenance Manual 25 July 2022 Store waste in appropriate containers or at temporary storage sites. Store and dewater all wastes away from storm drains or waterways. • If flushing must be used to clean out a pipe, install outlet protection downstream of the flow to trap sediment and debris that may come loose during the activity. • Properly dispose of any waste from this activity including sediment,spoils and floatable. 5.2.2 Open Channels The following action items refer to Town owned channels only. • Keep channels clear and free from debris. Debris in channels and the conveyance system may lead to flooding. • Repair eroding banks as needed. • Confirm that any channel modifications that could change the natural state of a watershed are done in accordance with existing permits, laws,and regulations. 5.2.3 Illicit Discharges and Illegal Dumping • Train employees from all municipal departments to recognize evidence of illicit discharges during regular inspections. o Illicit discharges are any discharge to the storm sewer system that is not composed entirely of stormwater, except for discharges which are allowed under a NPDES permit or waters used for firefighting activities. o When attempting to identify if a discharge is allowable or illicit,consider the following: • Solids- look for debris or rubbish piles. Solid waste dumping often occurs on roadways with light traffic or in rural areas that are not easily visible from the roadway. • Liquids-signs of illegal dumping or discharge may include: ■ Staining or unusual colors on the pavement or surrounding adjacent soils near storm drains; ■ Pungent odors coming from the drainage system; ■ Discoloration or oily substances in the water or stains and residues in ditches, channels,or drain boxes; ■ And abnormal water flow during the dry conditions. 5.2.4 Inlet Protection Storm drain inlet protection prevents soil and other debris from entering the storm sewer system.These measures are described in detail in the Town's Land Development Manual,Erosion Control Series.The stormwater department can advise as to which method of inlet protection will work best for specific applications. • Notify the Indian Trail Stormwater Phone Line immediately if an illicit discharge is suspected.Call 704-821- 8173 to report any instances of illegal dumping or illicit discharges. If material spilled, dumped, or discharged to a storm drain or surface waters is believed to be an immediate threat to the public's health or to the environment please call emergency services.

Any control has strengths and weakness and must be maintained properly. Below is a basic summary of the different types of structural controls: • Detention/retention basins, as the term implies, holds runoff for a period of time allowing pollutants to settle. Other removal mechanisms include filtration through vegetation, infiltration, evapotranspiration, and biological and chemical transformation. Basic types include extended detention, retention ponds, and constructed wetlands. • Filtration devices remove pollutants through the natural filtering process of soil and aid in the reduction of runoff volume. Infiltration devices generally transport runoff to groundwater. Filtration (often called exfiltration) devices filter water through an engineered layer of soil and then discharge it to the drainage system.Specific devices include bioretention areas, infiltration trenches,and sand filters. • Vegetative filtration devices filter and reduce pollutants in runoff through vegetation.They tend to be used for on-site controls. Pollutant removal mechanisms include sedimentation and filtration, infiltration, evapotranspiration, and biological uptake. Devices include filter strips and wooded buffers with flow spreaders, and grassed swales(with or without check dams). Structural Stormwater controls are often a post construction BMP and need to be inspected and maintained as such. This section will cover the locations, definitions, maintenance, inspection, schedules, and training for the specific structural stormwater controls owned by the Town of Indian Trail. 6.2 Inspection and Maintenance Activities 6.2.1 Wet Ponds Wet Ponds are in the category of Detention/Retention Basins listed in the overview of the Structural Stormwater Control section.Wet ponds are designed to permanently retain water and to slowly release a portion of the collected stormwater runoff through an outlet structure. Wet detention systems are the recommended BMP for sites with moderate to high water table conditions.Wet detention systems provide removal of both dissolved and suspended pollutants by taking advantage of physical,chemical,and biological processes within the pond.

The field operations manager and parks crews are licensed applicators. 7.1 .1 Fertilizer and Pesticide Management • Follow federal, state, and local laws and regulations regarding fertilizer and pesticide storage, usage, and disposal. This includes the proper training of applicators and pest control advisors. In conjunction, follow the directions and recommendations from the manufacturer of the chemical.Store all pesticides in properly labeled containers and secondary containment(if necessary). Properly dispose of PHFs as suggested by the manufacturer. • Do not apply fertilizer and chemicals when it is raining or if precipitation is expected in the near future. Avoid applying chemicals during high wind speeds. • Perform a soil analysis on the application area prior to all lime and fertilizer applications. Determine where distinguishable representative soil types are located at the application site. Representative soil types include existing predominate soils at the application site and if applicable:cut slopes,fill material,and areas of exposed subsoil. o Collect one (1) soil sample for each distinguishable representative soil type. One (1) sample consists of mixing ten (10) sub-samples taken uniformly over each distinguishable representative soil type. Soil samples should be taken from stockpiles where the material will be the top six (6) inches of the seedbed. Take each sub-sample within the top four (4) to six (6) inches of the soil surface. o Submit a separate soil sample for each representative soil type to a certified soil testing laboratory. o The soil analysis determines the need and rate of lime and fertilizer applications.At a minimum,a standard soil test includes pH, buffer pH, extractable phosphorus, potassium, lime requirements and recommendations,calculations for CEC(cation exchange capacity),and fertilizer requirements and recommendations. • Use slow-release granular fertilizer for all permanent cover applications that complies with state fertilizer laws. • Where applicable, use fertilizer that incorporates a minimum of 50% slow release (water insoluble) nitrogen.The statements water insoluble,slowly available or slowly available soluble nitrogen also indicate slow-release forms of nitrogen. Typically, the slow-release fertilizer will list the percentage of nitrogen (expressed as a percentage by weight of the package contents)that is in the slow-release form.For example, when a 10-10-10 fertilizer is labeled as 5% slow-release nitrogen, divide the 5% slow-release nitrogen by the 10%total N in the product and multiply by 100 to get the percentage of nitrogen that is in slow-release form. In this example it is 5%/10%X 100=50%slow-release nitrogen. • Use fertilizer that has a package slip clearly stating the percentage of nitrogen, percentage of slow-release nitrogen, percentage of phosphoric acid, and percentage of potash along with the weight (pounds) of nitrogen, weight (pounds) of phosphoric acid, and weight (pounds) of potash. Animal by-product or municipal waste fertilizers are not deemed acceptable. • Near sensitive surface waters, the addition of lime can affect the pH (or acidity) of runoff to receiving waters. Importing topsoil or amending the existing soil with compost is better than heavy liming and fertilizing exposed soil. • Make sure fertilizer spreaders are calibrated correctly and to utilize application techniques to minimize off target spraying. Town of Indian Trail Operation and Maintenance Manual 34 July 2022 • Use secondary containment when preparing chemicals and make sure it is done away from a storm drain. • Do not apply fertilizers, insecticides,or herbicides within 100 ft.of surface waters. • When applicable on bare soil applications, instead of surface applying the fertilizer, incorporate it into the soil to reduce the risk of contaminating runoff. Alternate irrigation and pesticide application schedules to ensure that irrigation runoff discharges as little pesticide as possible. Irrigate at low intensities to prevent excess runoff. Regularly inspect the irrigation system for leaks and to confirm that the correct amount of water is being applied.
