PART 1: INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Stormwater Management Plan(SWMP) is to establish and define the means by which
the Town of Harrisburg will comply with its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit and the applicable provisions of the Clean Water
Act to meet the federal standard of reducing pollutants in stormwater runoff to the maximum extent
practicable.
This SWMP identifies the specific elements and minimum measures that the Town of Harrisburg will
develop, implement, enforce, evaluate, and report to the North Carolina Department of Environmental
Quality (NCDEQ) Division of Energy, Minerals and Land Resources (DEMLR) in order to comply with
the MS4 Permit number NCS0000513, as issued by NCDEQ. This permit covers activities associated with
the discharge of stormwater from the MS4 as owned and operated by the Town of Harrisburg and located
within the corporate limits of the Town of Harrisburg.
In preparing this SWMP, the Town of Harrisburg has evaluated its MS4 and the permit requirements to
develop a comprehensive 5-year SWMP that will meet the community's needs, address local water quality
issues, and provide the minimum measures necessary to comply with the permit. The SWMP will be
evaluated and updated annually to ensure that the elements and minimum measures it contains continue to
adequately provide for permit compliance and the community's needs.
Once the SWMP is approved by NCDEQ, all provisions contained and referenced in this SWMP, along
with any approved modifications of the SWMP, are incorporated by reference into the permit and become
enforceable parts of the permit. 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.

The McKee Creek and Clear Creek TMDL was developed in 2002, and approved in August 2003,prior to
the issuance of an MS4 permit to the Town of Harrisburg. As such,the Town is not specifically identified
as part of the waste load allocation in the TMDL. Recognizing the timing of TMDL development in 2002
and the issuance of an MS4 permit to the Town in 2005, the Town performed a risk assessment in
2012 regarding its potential contribution to the current and future waste load in the TMDL watershed. HDR
Engineering, Inc of the Carolinas identified the Town having a low potential for waste load contribution
since the Town has only 80 acres of jurisdiction in the watershed. Current annexation laws may limit the
Town's ability to regulate development in balance of the watershed.
Despite this low potential the Town developed a waste load reduction plan for the McKee Creek and Clear
Creek should future development occur in the watershed. This plan focuses on working within the MS4
permit control measures to reduce fecal coliform loading. Proposed Best Management Practices (BMPs)
include encouraging the use of fecal coliform reducing structural stormwater control measures (SCMs)for
new development,performing public education and outreach about the TMDL to residents and business in
the watershed, consideration of a pet waste ordinance or collection requirements for development common
areas, and evaluation of opportunities for SCM retrofits.
3.6 Endangered and Threatened Species and Critical Habitat
Significant populations of threatened or endangered species and/or critical habitat are identified within the
regulated MS4 urbanized area, as determined by a review of the Listed species believed to or known to
occur in North Carolina as provided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Of those species listed, Table
4 summarizes the species that may be significantly impacted by the quality of surface waters within their
habitat.

3.8 Non-Stormwater Discharges
The Town of Harrisburg enforces the stormwater ordinance,including section 53.011 which specifies that
no person shall cause or allow the discharge, emission, disposal,pouring or pumping directly or indirectly
into any stormwater conveyance,the waters of the state or upon the land in a manner and amount that the
substance is likely to reach a stormwater conveyance or the waters of the state, any liquid, solid, gas or
other substance, other than stormwater.
Street washing discharges are addressed under the Pavement Management Program in Part 10 of this
SWMP. The Division has not required that other non-stormwater flows be specifically controlled by the
Town of Harrisburg.
Wash water associated with car washing that does not contain detergents or does not discharge directly into
the MS4 is considered incidental. However, these types of non-stormwater discharges that do contain
detergents have been evaluated by the Town of Harrisburg to determine whether they may significantly
impact water quality.
The water quality impacts of non-stormwater discharges have been evaluated by the Town of Harrisburg.
Non-stormwater discharges associated with the following activities, as specified in 40 CFR 122.26, are
allowed, provided that they do not significantly impact water quality:
• Other non-stormwater discharges for which a valid NPDES discharge permit has been approved
and issued by the state of North Carolina, and provided that such discharges to the municipal
separate storm sewer system shall be authorized by the Town. Prohibited substances include, but
are not limited to, oil, anti-freeze, chemicals, animal waste, paints, garbage and litter. Illicit
discharges are addressed in further detail in Part 7: Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
Program.

3.10 Target Audiences
Residential: This group has the ability to positively impact all of the issues contributing to the
pollutant sources identified in Table above. They also have a significant potential to increase
participation in volunteer programs for protecting and restoring water quality conditions. This is a
large, targeted audience composed of many subsets, including but not limited to homeowners,
renters, pet owners, community groups, scout troops, etc. The Town of Harrisburg, in partnership
with the Regional Stormwater Partnership of the Carolinas, has developed educational materials
for reaching these different subsets and will develop and implement outreach initiatives on an as
needed basis to address specific water quality issues as they arise.
Commercial: This group, like the residential group,has a significant potential to positively impact
water quality and has several subsets, including landscapers, grading contractors, building
maintenance companies, mobile washers, automotive repair shops, etc. The Town of Harrisburg,
in partnership with the Regional Stormwater Partnership of the Carolinas, has developed
educational materials for reaching these subsets and will develop and implement outreach
initiatives on an as needed basis to address specific water quality issues as they arise.
Institutional: This group predominantly includes schools and their related facilities. The Town of
Harrisburg is not a home to any places of higher learning at this time. However, educational
institutions have a significant potential to aid in the reduction of pollution sources as well as to
expand volunteer programs.The Town of Harrisburg, in partnership with the Regional Stormwater
Partnership of the Carolinas,conducts water quality educational presentations in school classrooms
and many schools, colleges and universities have become involved in the volunteer programs

4.2 Program Funding and Budget
In accordance with the issued permit,the Town of Harrisburg shall maintain adequate funding and staffing
to implement and manage the provisions of the SWMP and comply with the requirements of the NPDES
MS4 Permit. The budget includes the permit administering and compliance fee, which is billed by the
Division annually.
There are currently five positions partially funded by the Stormwater Management Program. These
positions include the Engineering and Public Works Director, Engineering Manager, Engineer in Training
(2), and Grading Inspector.
Funding for stormwater is provided through Stormwater Fees which are assessed to commercial and
residential property owners via the monthly water and sewer bill.The charge per equivalent residential unit
(ERU)for FY22 is $5.62 per month.
The total FY 22 annual budget (excluding capital improvement projects) for the NPDES stormwater
management program is $795,992. The Town's current stormwater utility is calculated using impervious
area based on as-builts and a residential equivalent unit.
4.3 Shared Responsibility
The Town of Harrisburg shares the responsibility to implement the Construction Site Runoff Control and
Public Education and Outreach minimum control measures. The Town of Harrisburg remains responsible
for compliance if the other entity fails to perform the permit obligation and may be subject to enforcement
action if neither the Town of Harrisburg nor the other entity fully performs the permit obligation. Table
below summarizes who will be implementing the component, what the component program is called, the
specific SWMP BMP or permit requirement that is being met by the shared responsibility, and whether a
legal agreement to share responsibility is in place.
NCS0000513 SWMP
Town of Harrisburg,NC
April 2024
Page 14
The Town relies on the Mooresville Regional office of the NCDEQ to provide erosion control and
sedimentation review and inspection services, consistent with the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of
1973 and the Title 15A Chapter 4: Sediment Control of the North Carolina Administrative Code.The Town
works with Mr. Kenny Llewellyn, Regional Engineer, NCDEQ Mooresville Office to accomplish this
minimum measure.
The Town receives a portion of its potable water supply from the City of Concord, which as part of its
settlement of an Inter-basin Transfer (IBT) Agreement in 2010 instituted some additional regulatory and
procedural requirements on riparian buffers and vegetated setbacks. The Town amended its riparian buffers
and vegetative setback rules at the time to be consistent with the terms of the IBT agreement and continues
to enforce those rules.
In addition,the Town is part of the Regional Stormwater Partnership of the Carolinas(RSPC) administered
by the Infrastructure, Design, Environment and Sustainability (IDEAS) Center at UNC Charlotte. The
Partnership is underwritten with dues from over 20 communities in the Metrolina area and serves as a forum
for providing public education and outreach opportunities for its membership. The Town relies on the RSPC
to primarily conduct the public education and outreach minimum measure. The Town observes the
agreement with the RSPC via a foundation document that outlines contractual obligations, defines goals
and establishes memberships.

PART 8: CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL PROGRAM
In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0153, the Town of Harrisburg relies upon the North Carolina
Sedimentation Pollution Control Act(SPCA)of 1973 and the NCGO 10000 permit for construction activities
as qualifying alternative programs to meet the NPDES MS4 Permit requirements for all construction site
runoff control measures to reduce pollutants in stormwater runoff from construction activities that result in
land disturbance of greater than or equal to one acre and any construction activity that is part of a larger
common plan of development that would disturb one acre or more.
The Town provides and promotes a means for the public to notify the appropriate authorities of observed
erosion and sedimentation problems. The Town utilizes the existence of the NCDENR, Division of Land
Resources"Stop Mud"hotline to meet the requirements of this section.

PART 9: POST-CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL PROGRAM
This SWMP identifies the minimum elements to develop, implement and enforce a program to address
stormwater runoff from new development and redevelopment projects that disturb greater than or equal to
one acre, including projects less than one acre that are part of a larger common plan of development or sale,
that are located within the Town of Harrisburg and discharge into the MS4. These elements are designed
to minimize water quality impacts utilizing a combination of structural Stormwater Control Measures
(SCMs) and/or non-structural BMPs appropriate for the community and ensure adequate long-term
operation and maintenance of SCMs.
In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0153 and .1017,the Town of Harrisburg would implement any State
post-construction program requirements,to satisfy the NPDES Phase I1 MS4 post-construction site runoff
control requirements as Qualifying Alternative Programs (QAPs) in the MS4 area(s) where they are
implemented. At this time,the Town of Harrisburg is not implementing any QAPs on a local level.
