PART 1: INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) is to establish and define the means by which the City of
Monroe 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 City of Monroe 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 NCS000482, as issued by
NCDEQ. This permit covers activities associated with the discharge of stormwater from the MS4 as owned and operated
by the City of Monroe and located within the corporate limits of the City of Monroe.
In preparing this SWMP,the City of Monroe 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.

3.2 Existing MS4 Mapping
The current MS4 mapping includes data on the municipal storm sewer system including stormwater structures, BMPS,
conveyances with flow direction, major outfalls and waters of the United States receiving stormwater discharges. Data
collection includes size, depth, material, condition, etc., where applicable. Data is updated continuously in the field and
synced daily.
Currently,there is no public link to the City's data.

Percent of MS4 Area Mapped 95 %
No.of Major Outfalls*Mapped 101 total
*An outfall is a point where the MS4 discharges from a pipe or other conveyance(e.g. a ditch)directly into surface waters.
Major oufalls 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.
3.3 Receiving Waters
The City of Monroe MS4 is located within the Yadkin River Basin and the Catawba River Basin. The MS4 discharges
directly into receiving waters as listed in Table 2 below. Applicable water quality standards listed below are compiled from

3.8 Non-Stormwater Discharges
The water quality impacts of non-stormwater discharges have been evaluated by the City of Monroe as summarized in
Table 6 below. The unpermitted non-stormwater flows listed as incidental do not significantly impact water quality. The
City of Monroe has evaluated residential and charity car washing,and street washing for possible significant water quality
impacts.
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 City of Monroe and determined to possibly impact water quality. The City utilizes Public Education and Outreach
as well as Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping BMPs to educate residents and municipal staff on the possible
effects of detergents entering the surface water.
Street cleaning procedures were reviewed by the City of Monroe and it was determined that street wash water is not
applicable to the MS4. Street cleaning is performed with sweeping trucks which is addressed under the Pavement
Management Program in Part 10 of this SWMP.
The Division has not required that other non-stormwater flows be specifically controlled by the City of Monroe.

3.9 Target Pollutants and Sources
In addition to those target pollutants identified above,the City of Monroe is aware of other significant water quality issues
within the permitted MS4 area. These include oils, sediments, fertilizers/pesticides, yard waste, pet waste and litter
throughout the system.
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 City of Monroe has evaluated schools,homeowners and businesses as target audiences that
are likely to have significant stormwater impacts.
Information gathered from citizens and employees has provided insight into the City of Monroe's target pollutants and
likely sources.Litter was found to be an issue for each target audience—schools,homeowners and businesses.Homeowners
are also the likely source of fertilizers/pesticides and yard waste into the stormwater system.Businesses were determined
to be a likely source of oil and fertilizers/pesticides pollutants.
The City of Monroe's Public Education & Outreach Program addresses the target pollutants with the appropriate target
audience.The Construction Site Runoff Control Program addresses sediment related to construction activities.The City's
Pollution Prevention&Good Housekeeping Program addresses illicit discharges, illegal dumping and improper disposal
of waste with municipal employees.

4.2 Program Funding and Budget
In accordance with the issued permit,the City of Monroe shall maintain adequate funding and staffing to implement and
manage the provisions of the SWMP and comply with the requirements of the NPDES MS4 Permit. The budget includes
the permit administering and compliance fee,which is billed by the Division annually.
The Monroe City Council authorized City staff to move ahead with the implementation the Stormwater Utility in June
2008. An ordinance was adopted in July 2008 authorizing the implementation of the Utility stormwater fees which were
added to the City of Monroe utility bill starting in January 2009.
The stormwater utility fee provides a dedicated funding source for the City's stormwater program and is based on the
number of equivalent residential units (ERUs) that have been calculated for each individual parcel. The equivalent
residential unit, also referred to as equivalent runoff unit, is the average amount of impervious surface area on a single-
family residential property in the City of Monroe.One ERU equals 2,618 square feet of impervious surface.The stormwater
utility fee is billed monthly on the customer utility bill.
Single-Family Detached Residential Rates
Single-family detached residential properties (including mobile homes)are grouped into a three tier system based on the
amount of impervious surface located on the property.Each of the three tier groups is assigned an ERU value and assessed
a stormwater utility fee based on this value.
Tier Area of Impervious Surface (in Assigned ERU Fee
square feet) (not exact
1 0—2,010 0.7 $3.68 per month
2 2,011—3,287 1.0 $5.25 per month
3 3,288 and above 1.4 $7.35 per month
Rates effective January 1,2021
Multi-Unit Residential Rates
For other residential developed property,including townhouses,apartments,condominiums,and other multi-unit residential
develo ment,an ERU value is assigned based on the categorization of the residential unit.
Other Residential Units(by dwelling unit) Assigned ERU Fee
not exact
Townhomes 0.5 $2.63 per month
Condominiums 0.5 $2.63 per month
Multifamily(including apartment units 0.6 $3.15 per month
Rates effective January 1,2021
Non-residential rates
For non-residential property, ERU is calculated by dividing the total impervious surface area of the property divided by
one ERU or 2,618 square feet, and rounded to the nearest tenth. Each of these ERU values is then multiplied by the
established monthly billing unit rate as fixed by City Council. The monthly stormwater utility billing unit rate is $5.25,
effective January 1,2021.
• Calculating Equivalent Residential Units(ERUs)for Non-Residential Properties
o Total Impervious surface area(in sq.ft.)-2,618 sq.ft.(1 ERU)=Total ERUs
• Calculating Monthly Stormwater Utility Fee
o Total ERUs x$5.25=Monthly Fee

The current number of approved full-time stormwater positions is 14.5 with recent annual revenue budgets of$2.26 million
(actual FY 2022),$2.29 million(2023 budget),and$3.58 million(FY 2024 proposed).
The City's most recent GAP Analysis,performed in 2022, noted the MS4 Stormwater Program is funded and managed
effectively.
4.3 Shared Responsibility
The City of Monroe will share the responsibility to implement the following minimum control measures,which are at least
as stringent as the corresponding NPDES MS4 Permit requirement. The City of Monroe remains responsible for
compliance if the other entity fails to perform the permit obligation,and may be subject to enforcement action if neither the
City of Monroe nor the other entity fully performs the permit obligation. Table 9 below summarizes who will be
implementing the component,what the component program is called,the specific permit requirement that is being met by

PART 8: CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL PROGRAM
In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0153, the City of Monroe 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.
