1. STORM SEWER SYSTEM INFORMATION
I.I. Population Served
The population of the City of Goldsboro is 38, 516 based on the July 2001 estimates
from the North Carolina State Demographics Unit,
1.2. Growth Rate
The City of Goldsboro had a negative 4.1% (-4.1%) growth from the 1990 to the
2000 census, based on data from the North Carolina State Demographics Unit. This
is an annual rate of negative .4% (-.4%) per year
1.3. Jurisdictional and MS4 Service Areas
The ETJ area is 32 square miles, and the MS4 Service Area is 26 square miles.
L4. MS4 Conveyance System
The MS4 system consists of ditches, culverts, and underground pipes. Most runoff
starts as sheet flow from streets, parking lots, and managed space; or as flow from
roof downspouts. The runoff is picked up in ditches and storm sewer inlets, and
moves through culverts and underground pipe to the receiving waters. The system is
maintained by the General Services Department, which has a semi-annual
maintenance schedule for cleaning up ditches and culverts, and an on -call role when
problems in drainage are encountered. The state of maintenance of the system is
good overall, although large storms have resulted in localized flooding, particularly in
the Stoney Creek sub -basin.
1.5. Land Use Composition Estimates
Residential
47%
Commercial
12%
Industrial
14%
Open Space
27%
1.6. Estimate Methodology
These percentages were based on the proposed Land Use Plan, Figure 3.2, in the City
of Goldsboro's Comprehensive Plan for June 2000.
1.7. TMDL identification
The MS4 discharges into the Neuse River, which is under a TMDL for nitrogen.

Implement Stormwater Management for New Development, and the
Ordinance for Illegal Discharge Control. The Public was notified of
the proposed ordinances and invited to comment. Notification was
published in accordance with the established procedures for enacting
ordinances within the City of Goldsboro, and the ordinances were
discussed and approved by the City Council at a properly scheduled
Council Meeting.
7.2.3.3. Working with Citizen Volunteers —See Table 7.2, Item 1
7.2.3.4. Volunteer Monitoring —See Table 7.2, Item 2
7.2.4. Decision Process --See the Public Education Action Plan (enclosed).

7.4. Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control
The City of Goldsboro will rely upon the State Erosion and Sediment Control
Program and the DWQ General Permit for Construction Activities to meet the
requirements of this measure. The City's activity will be limited to reminding
developers during technical workshops of the requirement for them to comply
with the State program. See Table 7.4 for BMP Summary.
7.5. Post -Construction Storm Water Management in New Development and
Redevelopment
7.5.1. Locally issued Permit to Construct Under the SWMP—The City of
Goldsboro will develop and implement a Local Permit for Construction
Under the SWMP (hereafter referred to as the SWMP Permit). Under the
existing SWMP, all projects within the City of Goldsboro's jurisdiction
must control peak runoff for the I year, 24 hour storm, except for
developments that are less than 15% impervious and that convey
stormwater over pervious cover to the maximum extent practicable. The
Neuse River Riparian Buffer rules require projects to be 50 feet from
perennial and intermittent surface waters, and the City will rely upon the
State DWQ for enforcement of that provision. The current SWMP already
meets the requirement that structural BMPs for stormwater treatment
E

'
achieve an average of 85% annual removal for Total Suspended Solids
(TSS) because the SWMP requires BMPs to be constructed in accordance
with the NC DENR BMP manual (See Appendix A of the SWMP). The
SWMP Permit will incorporate the following requirements:
7.51.1. The permit will require recorded deed restrictions and protective
covenants.
'
7.5.1.2. The permit will require that all projects shall be designed in
accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.1008(c)
7.5.2. Operation and Maintenance Component —The City of Goldsboro will
inspect BMPs on an annual basis, and the inspection will be performed by
the City Engineering Department. The City will charge an annual fee of
'
$100.00 for each BMP inspected (See City Code, Chapter 96.03(c)).
7.5.3. The City of Goldsboro will develop, in the first year of the NPDES Permit
and in coordination with the local county health department, an oversight
on
program for the operation of on -site wastewater treatment systems
for domestic wastewater. Residents within the City boundaries are
required to hook up to the sanitary treatment system as soon as possible.
'
Chapter 53.17(C) of the City of Goldsboro Code of Ordinances is
quoted: "Every person owning a house, apartment house, storehouse,
restaurant or any building inside the city limits used for sleeping quarters
'
or any building where any persons are employed, which building abuts or
adjoins a street or alley along which there is public water or sewer, shall,
within 30 days from the date of legal notice served by the City Plumbing
Inspector or other authorized deputy, have sewer and water connections
made to the building or house. All such connections must be made
according to the requirements of this subchapter in the interest of public
'
health and safety."
7.5.4. The City of Goldsboro MS4 does not drain to SA Waters.
7.5.5. The City of Goldsboro MS4 does not drain to Trout (Tr) Waters.
7.5.6. The City of Goldsboro has an approved plan under the NSW Urban
Stormwater Management Program to control drainage to Nutrient
'
Sensitive Waters. A nutrient application management program for both
inorganic and organic nutrients will be developed in the second year of the
NPDES Permit and included in the SWMP.
7.5.7. The City of Goldsboro participates in the Mid-Neuse NPS (Non -Point
Source) Team meetings and activities, which include education on nutrient
application management and BMP implementation within the Stoney
'
Creek sub -basin. These activities will be integrated into the SWMP
whenever they fit within the objectives of this NPDES Permit.
7.5.8. BMP Summary Table —See Table 7.5
'
7.5.9. Non-structural BMP
7.5.9.1. The City has no policies or ordinances that direct growth, protect
sensitive areas, maintain or increase open space, provide for buffers,
'
minimize impervious surfaces, or minimize soil disturbances beyond what
are explicitly stated in this permit application. The City has reviewed its
1
development ordinances and policies to see where impacts to water quality
I0

can be reduced, and the City enforces the Neuse River Riparian Buffer
Regulations.
7.5.9.2. There are no other ordinances or policies that encourage infill
development to higher density urban areas or areas with existing storm
sewer systems beyond whan are explicitly stated in this permit application.
7.5.9.3. The City conducts annual education programs for developers and
their engineers/designers of record on compliance with the SWMP.
7.5.9.4. There are no other non-structural BMPs beyond what are

Stormwater
Management Program
For Nitrogen Control In
The !lease River Basin
1. Introduction
Introduction
1.1 Meuse River Basin Nutrient Sensitive waters iNSWI Management strategy
The goal of the Neuse River Basin Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW) Management
Strategy (final adoption in August 1998) is to achieve a 30 percent nitrogen reduction
from each controllable and quantifiable source of nitrogen in the basin. These sources
are Wastewater Treatment, Urban Stormwater, and Agriculture and Nutrient
Application. The NSW Strategy also includes a rule to protect riparian buffers (the
Riparian Buffer Rule, 15A NCAC 2B .0233) to maintain their existing nitrogen
removal capabilities.
The Neuse Stormwater Rule (15A NCAC 2B .0235) only applies to the largest and
fastest -growing local governments in the Neuse River Basin (there are 15); Goldsboro
is one of the affected governments. The rule establishes a broad set of objectives for
reducing nitrogen runoff from urban areas and sets up a process for the Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) to work with the affected local governments to develop a model
stormwater program for meeting the objectives. The timeframe for implementation of
the rule is as follows:
September 9, 2000: Deadline for submittal of local Stormwater Management Program
1 March 9, 2001:
(including ordinances) to the Environmental Management
Commission (EMC).
Deadline for local governments to begin implementing local
Stormwater Management Programs.
Each stormwater management program must include the following general elements:
New Development Review/Approval, Illegal Discharges, Retrofit Locations, and
Public Education. Following implementation of the local Stormwater Management
Programs, local governments are required to make annual progress reports to EMC by
October 30 of each year that include nitrogen loading reduction estimates.
This document details the City of Goldsboro's Stormwater Management Program for
t Nitrogen Control in the Neuse River Basin. It closely follows the guidance provided in
the Neuse River Basin: Model Stormwater Program for Nitrogen Control dated August
30, 1999. The implementation dates listed above differ from those listed in the model
1 plan. The EMC committee decision to approve the model local government
stormwater program occurred on September 9, 1999; the Stormwater Rule allows 12
months from EMC approval before the subject local governments must submit their

Stormwater
Management Program
For Nitrogen Control In
The Neuse River Basin
local stormwater management program plans to the Commission for review and
approval, and 18 months before the programs must be implemented. Introduction
1.2 Goldsboro's Stormwater Management Program
1.2.1 Program Goals
The City of Goldsboro is taking a proactive approach to the management and control of
stormwater in both the City proper and in its Extraterritorial Jurisdictions (ETJs).
Rather than simply meet the requirements for nitrogen control as dictated by the Neuse
NSW Strategy, Goldsboro is structuring their Stormwater Management Program to
also address the concerns and expected requirements of EPA's Phase II Stormwater
Rule. The City has also prepared their program to be no less stringent than the
program for Wayne County, which is also subject to the Neuse Stormwater Rule.
Teaming possibilities with Wayne County will continually be explored, particularly in
the areas of public education and outreach, and public participation/involvement. In
this way, Goldsboro and its constituents will garner the benefits of an integrated
stormwater management program that requires the least expenditure of financial and
personnel resources and avoids duplication of effort.
Another goal of this program is to provide uniform guidelines and requirements for
development and growth in both the City of Goldsboro and throughout Wayne County.
Although the process may differ in each jurisdiction, the program elements and
requirements of both Stormwater Management Programs will be consistent. Fee
schedules and penalties will be no less rigorous than those required by Wayne County.
Other incorporated areas will be considered in this process. This will serve not only to
avoid inappropriate and unbalanced development as a result of program
implementation, but will provide standardized requirements for unincorporated areas
which undergo annexation.
1.2.2 Organization of this Stormwater Management Program
This document reflects the basic organization of the Neuse River Basin: Model
Stormwater Program for Nitrogen Control, and incorporates some additional
components from EPA's Phase lI Stormwater Rule. Section 2.0 presents Goldsboro's
Program Plan for New Development. Section 3.0 discusses their Program Plan for
Illegal Discharges. Section 4.0 explains the methodology for Identifying Retrofit

2.1 Controlling Nitrogen Through the New Development Review/Approval Process Development
Section 32.088 of Goldsboro's Code of Ordinances states that no new or redevelopment
project may proceed before all permits are secured, which requires that the site plan be
submitted to and approved by the Planning and Engineering Departments of the city. It
will be during this established development review process that the City will review the
Neuse Stormwater Rule components of any project falling under the "New
Development" definition. Appendix A contains "An Ordinance to Implement
Stormwater Management Regulations for New Development" to establish the authority to
require compliance with the Program Plan for New Development within the City proper
and its ETJ, as detailed in this section. The developer or builder will be required to
comply with these provisions for any new development which falls under either of the
following definitions:
• Any activity that disturbs greater than one acre of land in order to establish,
expand, or modify a single family or duplex residential development or a
recreational facility. [Land disturbance is defined as grubbing, stump
removal, and/or grading.]
• Any activity that disturbs greater than one-half an acre of land in order to
establish, expand, or modify a multifamily residential development or a
commercial, industrial, or institutional facility.
To fund this additional new development review process, the City Council may set a fee
structure for the cost of reviewing all Building Permit applications for compliance with
the ordinance.
All such projects will be. required to meet the goal of a 30 percent nitrogen reduction by
implementation of planning considerations and best management practices (BMPs).
Agriculture, mining, or forest activities, and property owners with vested rights are not
subject to the requirements of new development and will receive a waiver. Vested rights
must be demonstrated by the property owner as of the effective date of this Stormwater
Management Program (as adopted by the City Council) and may be based on at least one
of the following:
substantial expenditures of resources as determined by the Engineering
Department (time, labor, money) based on a good faith reliance upon having
received a valid local government approval to proceed with the project, or

• having an outstanding valid building permit in compliance with G.S. 153A-
344.1 or G.S. 160A-385.1, or Program Plan for New
Development
• having an approved site specific or phased development plan in compliance
with G.S. 153A-344.1 or G.S. 160A-385.1.
' Projects that require a state permit, such as landfills, NPDES wastewater discharges, land
application of residuals and road construction activities shall be considered to have vested
rights if a state permit was issued prior to the effective data of this Local Stormwater
Management Program.
' Currently, Recreation and Parks projects for the City do not require permits. To ensure
that all such projects comply with the provisions of the Neuse Stormwater Rule, and
eventually EPA's Phase 11 Rule, all park projects will be required to undergo an internal
review by the Planning and Engineering Departments.
New development will be limited to 3.6 pounds per acre per year (Ibslaclyr) nitrogen
loading. Property owners will have the option to partially offset projected nitrogen loads
by funding wetland or riparian area restoration through the NC Wetlands Restoration
Program (WRP). As established by Rule 15A NCAC 213.0240, the rate shall be
$11/lb/yr, at an amount sufficient to fund 30 years of nitrogen reduction. The result is a
one-time offset payment of $330/lb/ac which must be paid prior to approval of the
development plan. However, no new residential development will be permitted to exceed
a total nitrogen loading rate of 6.0 Ibslaclyr, and no new nonresidential development will
be permitted to exceed 10.0 lbs/ac/yr.
The nitrogen export standard of 3.6 Ibslaclyr was estimated by the EMC to be 70 percent
of the average nitrogen load contributed by the nonurban areas in the Neuse River basin
' (as defined using 1995 LANDSAT data). It is understood that the EMC may periodically
update the performance standard based on the availability of new scientific information.
2.1.1 Calculating Nitrogen Export from New Development
The nitrogen export from each new development will be calculated. Annual reports must
contain the computed baseline and net change in nitrogen export from new development
that year. Goldsboro will utilize the methodologies as they are detailed below. The
' Inspection Department will supply the necessary worksheets for the developer or builder
to perform these calculations at new development sites as part of their building permit
submission (to ensure that the 30 percent reduction has been attained or that appropriate
' and sufficient BMPs have been planned and/or offset fees paid). The calculations will be

verified by the Engineering Department then, and again prior to issuance of the
Certificate of Occupancy (to ensure that the site was developed as planned, and that any Program Plan for New
required BMPs have been constructed properly). Development
Method l for residential developments where lots are shown but the actual
footprint of buildings are not shown on site plans. The impervious surface
resulting from building footprints is estimated based on typical impervious
area associated with a given lot size. Figure 2.1 contains the worksheet for
this calculation.
2. Method 2 for residential, commercial, and industrial developments when the
entire footprint of the roads, parking lots, buildings, and any other built -upon
area is shown on the site plans. Figure 2.2 contains the worksheet for this
calculation.
For nonresidential subdivisions where the impervious surfaces are not
shown on the plans at the time of submittal, the developer or builder will
specify areas of impervious surface, undisturbed open space, and managed
open space in their Building Permit application, assuming the maximum
impervious surfaces and minimum open space for the project design. The
City has established the Building Permit as a legal, enforceable mechanism
to hold the developer or builder accountable for their estimations of each
land use type. The developer or builder will then use Method 2 (Figure 2.2)
for their calculation.
4. For redevelopment projects, Method 2 must be used to estimate the nitrogen
loading from the site before and after the redevelopment project takes place.
As long as the redevelopment project does not increase the nitrogen loading
from the site, the developer shall be exempt from the program requirements
for nitrogen control on new development.
2.1.2 Methodology for Calculating Peak Runoff Volumes
The Neuse Stormwater Rule states that there can be no net increase in peak flow leaving
a new development site from the predevelopment conditions for the 1-year, 24-hour
storm. The Inspection Department will provide the developer or builder with a
worksheet (Figure 2.3) that employs The Rational Method to determine the peak flow
from both the pre -development (performed prior to issuance of the Building Permit) and
post -development (performed prior to issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy)
C:SdUq--b and Saningslw&.ta" SWMF%R.A Doc SMP Report doc 2-3

conditions. The Rational Method is the most common method for computing the peak
rate of runoff from small drainage basins (up to 150 acres). If peak runoff needs to be
calculated from a larger drainage area (more than 150 acres), the Peak Discharge
Method as described in the USDA Soil Conservation Service's Technical Release
Number 55 (TR-55) will be employed. This methodology will be used for computing
pre- and post -development conditions. (Note: The Putnam Method, while allowed by
the Model Plan, was developed specifically for the Piedmont region of North Carolina,
and will not be used for calculations in Goldsboro, which lies in the Coastal Plain.)
The equation for calculating peak runoff under the Rational Method is:
Qp = Aci
where
Qp = peak runoff, cfs
A = drainage area, acres
c = runoff coefficient, dimensionless
i = rainfall intensity, inches/hour
The acreage for each land use type will already be known from calculating the nitrogen
export as described in Section 2.1.1. The runoff coefficients for a variety of surface
types can be gotten from a table, such as the one developed by the American Society of
Civil Engineers (ASCE) & Water Environmental Federation (in Design and
Construction of Urban Stormwater Management Systems, 1972). However, as stated
by John E. Gribbin in Hydraulics and Hydrology for Stormwater Management (1997),
typical design values for runoff coefficients are 090 for impervious surfaces, 0.30 for
permanently protected managed open space (such as lawns), and 0.20 for permanently
protected undisturbed open space (such as woods and brush).
In keeping with the spirit of the rule, and to maintain consistency with the approach
' taken to calculate total nitrogen export (where total nitrogen export coefficients are
set), Goldsboro will adopt these typical design values for the runoff coefficient. This
will result in a more consistent, objective, and straightforward calculation of peak
runoff that does not need to take into account the effects of soils, rainfall intensity and
duration, slope, and impervious surface. A worksheet has been prepared for the
Rational Method peak runoff calculation (Figure 2.3) which is patterned after the
' method outlined in the NC Erosion and Sedimentation Control Planning and Design
Manual.

Management Program
For Nitrogen Control in
The Meuse River Basin
The peak runoff calculation will be performed by the developer or builder for their
Building Permit submission. Prior to issuance of a Building Permit, the post- Program Plan for New
development peak flow must be calculated to be equal to or less than the pre- Development
development peak flow (which may require the implementation of one or more BMps),
unless one of the two following conditions are met:
The increase in peak flow between the pre- and post -development conditions
does not exceed ten percent.
The proposed new development meets all of the following criteria: overall
impervious surface is less than 15 percent, and the remaining pervious portions
of the site are utilized to the maximum extent practical to convey and control
the stormwater runoff (as determined by the City Engineering Department).
Upon completion of the development project, and prior to approval of a Certificate of
Occupancy, the post -development peak flow will again be calculated to ensure
compliance with the regulations detailed above. Section 32.089 of the City
Ordinances establishes the administrative procedure for ensuring this step by stating,
"No Certificate of Occupancy shall be issued by the Building Inspector until the
Planning Department and the Engineering Department of the city have certified that
site improvements have been completed in accordance with the plan previously
submitted and approved."
Because of the existence of local flooding problems, peak flow calculations may
indicate the need for Stormwater detention in areas that would actually increase
flooding problems as a result of their implementation. For sites that are in (or drain to)
these flood -prone areas, exemptions may be granted on a case -by -case basis. Chapter
151 of the City Code of Ordinances details Flood Damage Prevention and addresses
this problem, and is included in Appendix B. Section 151.04 (E) states that this
ordinance is designed to "Prevent or regulate the construction of flood barriers which
will unnaturally divert flood waters or which may increase flood hazards to other
lands."
2.1.3 Goldsboro's Choice for Protection of Riparian Buffers in New Developments
The Neuse Stormwater Rule requires local governments to ensure that riparian areas
are protected on new developments in accordance with the Riparian Buffer Rule (15A
NCAC 2B .0233). The rule requires protecting and maintaining the 50-foot riparian
buffers on all sides of intermittent and perennial streams, ponds, lakes, and estuaries in
the Neuse River Basin. These waters must be shown on the most recent version of

The City of Goldsboro will refrain from issuing local approvals for any new
development activity that is proposed to take place within the first 50 feet adjacent to
an affected water body, unless:
' a. the person requesting the approval does not propose to impact the riparian
buffer of a surface water indicated on the NRCS or USGS maps listed above,
or
b. the property owner has received approval by DWQ. DWQ approval could be:
' - an on -site determination from DWQ that surface waters are not present,
- an Authorization Certificate for a use designated as Allowable,
- an Authorization Certificate and approval on a mitigation plan for a use
' designated as Allowable with Mitigation, or
- a variance.
As part of this Stormwater Management Program, Goldsboro will record riparian areas
to be protected on new or modified plats.
t2.2 Best Management Practices [BMPs)
2.2.1 Choosing SMPs
Site planning practices that reduce nitrogen loadings from new development (including
reducing impervious surfaces and protecting open spaces) will be encouraged;
however, BMPs may still be required. Property owners will be instructed to consider
the ability of the 13MP(s) to reduce their nitrogen loading within acceptable limits, as
well as the issues of aesthetics, long-term maintenance, safety, and reliability of the
BMP design.
In conjunction with the Public Education component of this plan (Section 5.0),
information sources will be made available to property owners and developers
' explaining the benefit to them of incorporating site planning practices into their new

development plans from the onset (reducing road widths, reducing minimum parking
requirements, minimizing use of curb and gutter, allowing cluster or open -space Program Plan for New
developments, allowing traditional neighborhood developments, and others). if they Development
do not choose to incorporate these practices, or if BMPs are still required, information
sources may be provided on the various BMPs available for nitrogen reduction, their
individual effectiveness and cost, as well as data on which methods work best for the
area's soil type(s). If more than one BMP is installed in series on a development, then
the removal rate shall be determined through serial rather than additive calculations.
As research and development in this field progresses, information sources on new
BMP techniques or improvements in established BMP techniques may also be
disseminated as part of the Public Education Action Plan,
The BMPs which may currently be utilized for reducing nitrogen from new
developments are listed below, The estimated total nitrogen removal rate for each
BMP is included in parenthesis.
• Wet detention ponds (25%)
• Constructed wetlands (40%)
• Open channel practices (30%)
• Riparian buffers (30%)
Bioretention (25%)
Vegetated filter strips with level spreader (20%)
• Sand filters (35%)
• Proprietary BMPs (varies)
if a builder or developer includes one or more BMPs as part of the site design, they
will be required to provide an engineering certification of the design at the time they
submit their Building Permit application. Prior to issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy, the builder or developer will be required to submit an engineering
certification that the BMP was constructed as designed and is operating properly.

2.2.2 Long -Term Maintenance Plan for BMPs
The Inspection Department will conduct annual inspections of all BMPs as part of their
inspection program. An annual inspection fee will be charged to fund this additional
inspection program (as adopted by the City Council). A current list of all BMPs, their
location, and status will be maintained by the Engineering Department to assist in the
inspection process. BMPs will be required to be on the same lot as the new
development, unless waived because of potential flooding problems, or unless an off -
site location for the BMP has been approved by the City's Planning and Engineering
Departments.
The City of Goldsboro took the following approach for the long-term maintenance of
BMPs:
The City will notify the owner upon finding that maintenance is needed on a BMP.
If the owner does not complete the maintenance in a timely manner (180 days),
then the City will contract out the maintenance and recover costs in the manner it
determines most appropriate.
The Stormwater Management Ordinance (Appendix A) details the allowable BMPs as
well as the maintenance of BMPs. The maintenance section refers to Section 96 of the
Code of Ordinances, which contains the following subchapters: Improperly Operating
BMPs are Prohibited, Responsibility for Maintenance; Compliance with Provisions;
and Inspections and Annual Inspection Fee.
t2.3 Local ordinance Review of Lend -Use Planting and Design Tecllltttt ues
The Model Plan addresses the use of land -use planning provisions to reduce
' impervious surfaces with design techniques and thereby reducing the need for BMPs
and associated maintenance concerns. Jurisdictions are required to show they reviewed
local ordinances with regard to the following planning techniques (and the general
' advantages and disadvantages of incorporating these approaches at the local level) and
show that they have provided adequate flexibility for developers to utilize planning
' measures to reduce impervious surfaces. This review is intended to look for
opportunities where these measures could be allowed, or obstacles to their use could be
removed.

the Technical Design and Details Manual which encourages, and allows for, variances
in the items listed above. Variations in those planning and design techniques will be
considered on a case -by -case basis provided that the measures would decrease
impervious surface area, while still fulfilling the basic needs of the Planning and
Engineering Departments.
U ltrr MCUoa-wide and Inver -local Approaches
Jurisdiction -wide and inter -local approaches may be incorporated into the City's
Stormwater Management Program if appropriate information shows how they will
achieve the nitrogen loading reduction requirements applicable to new development.
Some ideas include:
• Creating regional Stormwater management facilities (such as ponds). Would
require on -site controls to locally protect against water quality degradation and
flooding, and Neuse buffer requirements may impact the feasibility of some
approaches.
• "Land Banking" within the same watershed where development is occurring.
Land should have significant water quality value and secured in a permanent
conservation easement or equivalent legal mechanism prohibiting both farming
and unapproved logging practices, tracked on GIS, and recorded on the plat or
deed.
Prior to incorporating such approaches into the City's Stormwater Management
Program, it will demonstrate and quantify the associated nitrogen removals to DWQ
and the EMC.

Program Plan for New
EPA's Phase H Stormwater Rule contains two minimum control measures which fall Development
within this Program Plan for New Development: Construction Site Runoff Control and
Post -Construction Runoff Control. Because of the way the Neuse Stormwater Rule is
structured — limiting nitrogen export, freezing peak runoff volumes, establishing
protection for riparian buffers in new development, and requiring the installation and
maintenance of BMPs where necessary — the majority of the Phase H requirements for
development controls are addressed through this Program Plan. However,
modifications have been incorporated into this SWMP to comply with the Phase 11
program in the future.
2.5.1 Construction Site Runoff Control
The Construction Site Runoff Control Minimum Control Measure requires a regulatory
mechanism to control polluted runoff from construction sites; a site plan review
process to control erosion and sediment and other waste at the site; an inspection and
enforcement program of control measures to deter infractions; and a procedure for the
receipt and consideration of public enquires, concerns, and information submitted
regarding local construction activities. The State Sedimentation Control Act (Title
15A, Chapter 4) and the State's NPDES general stormwater permit for construction
activities substantially address all of these issues.
2.5.2 Post -Construction Runoff Control
The Post -Construction Site Runoff Control Minimum Control Measure requires the
development and implementation of strategies which include a combination of
structural and/or nonstructural BMPs; an ordinance or other regulatory mechanism
requiring the implementation of post -construction runoff controls; and a method to
ensure adequate long-term operation and maintenance controls. These provisions are
included in this Stormwater Management Program.

The Neuse Stormwater Rule requires that selected local governments establish a
program to prevent, identify, and remove illegal discharges. Under Title XV, Land
Usage, the Goldsboro City Council has adopted a new chapter (Chapter 156) for their
Code of Ordinances entitled "An Ordinance to Implement Regulations Regarding
Illegal Stormwater Discharges Related to the City of Goldsboro's Stormwater
Management Program" to establish this authority within the City proper and its ETJ.
This ordinance is included as Appendix C of this Stormwater Management Program
and shows that Goldsboro will be able to:
• Control the contribution of pollutants to the stormwater collection system
associated with industrial activity.
• Prohibit illegal discharges to the stormwater collection system.
• Prohibit discharge of spills and disposal of materials other than stormwater to
the stormwater collection system.
• Determine compliance and noncompliance.
• Require compliance and undertake enforcement measures in cases of
noncompliance.
Tables 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, identify some discharges that are and are not allowed
to the stormwater collection system.

1 3.3 Mapping and neid Screening in High PrlorttyAreas
Program Plan for Illegal
As part of the October 2002 annual report, the Engineering Department will identify a Discharges
high priority area for more detailed mapping and field screening (at least 20 percent of
the jurisdiction area). Each subsequent year, another high priority area of at least 20
percent size will be chosen. In this way, Goldsboro will complete their high priority
area mapping by 2007, which will meet expected EPA Phase R requirements.
' "High Priority" means the areas where it is most likely to locate illegal discharges (e.g.,
older development). The basis of the annual selection of each high priority area will be
explained in the annual report.
The first part of the screening process for the selected area is mapping of the
' stormwater system, which should include:
• Locations of the outfalls of any pipes from nonindustrial areas that are greater
than or equal to 36 inches.
• Locations of the outfalls of any pipes from industrial areas that are greater than
' or equal to 12 inches.
• Locations of drainage ditches that drain more than 50 acres of nonindustrial
' land.
• Locations of drainage ditches that drain more than 2 acres of industrial land.
• An accompanying summary table listing the outfalls that meet the above
criteria that includes outfall ID numbers, location, primary and supplemental
classification of receiving water, and use -support of receiving water.
The second part of the screening process is conducting a dry weather field screening
of all outfalls that meet the criteria to detect illegal discharges. The General Services
Department will be responsible for overseeing the dry weather field screening which
will not be conducted during or within 72 hours following a rain event of 0.1 inches or
' greater. In residential areas, field screening will be scheduled either before 9:00 am or
after 5:00 pm (if possible), hours when citizens are most likely to be home and illegal
discharges are more likely to be evident. A field screening process, such as that

If field screening shows that an outfall is dry, then the outfall should be checked for
intermittent flow at a later date. If the field screening shows that an outfall has a dry
weather flow, then a screening report for the outfall will be completed. The field
screening report will contain information similar to that detailed in Table 3.3 (general
information, field site description, visual observations, and any required sampling
analyses). Analytical monitoring is required only if an obvious source of the dry
weather flow cannot be determined through an investigation of the upstream
stormwater collection system. Screening reports will be kept for five years.
Outfalls with flow will be screened again within 24 hours for the parameters included
in the field screening report. Any tests for ammonia and nitrate/nitrite that are
purchased will be sensitive for 0.1 to 10 mg/L.

After the field screening is complete, the General Services Department will take
measures to identify and remove illegal discharges. The jurisdiction -wide information
compiled as the first step in this process will be consulted for information on land uses,
infrastructure, industries, potential sources, and types of pollution that exist in the
drainage area of the outfall.

After potential sources have been identified, the General Services Department will be
responsible for planning a systematic field investigation to minimize the amount of Program Plan for Illegal
resources required to identify the source. Several field methods may be used for Discharges
identifying illegal discharges, with the simplest approach recommended, if that will
suffice. From simplest to more complex, the recommended approaches are:
• Site investigation.
• Additional chemical analysis (recommend testing for fecal coliform if the
ammonia concentration is found to exceed 1.0 mg.L).
• Flow monitoring (multiple site visits recommended rather than a depth
indicator).
• Dye testing (fluorescent dye is recommended).
• Smoke testing.
• Television inspection.
Documentation of the results of the office and field investigations will be kept on file
for five years with the screening report.
After the source of an illegal discharge is identified, enforcement action will be taken
to have the source removed or redirected to the sanitary sewer. Appendix C, which
contains the adopted ordinance to establish authority to control illegal discharges, also
contains the authority to order a source removed (or redirected) and penalties for
noncompliance. Records of compliance actions will be kept for five years with the
screening report.
In addition to keeping all screening reports on file, the Engineering Department will
maintain a map of:
• Points of identified illegal discharges.
• Watershed boundaries of the outfalls where illegal discharges have been
identified.

City personnel will be trained in how to conduct a thorough field screening, how to
review the field screening results in conjunction with the jurisdiction -wide information
collected previously, and how to plan an effective field investigation to identify the
source of an illegal discharge. The training of City personnel to undertake the process
of investigating and identifying illegal discharges will be multi -phased. Training
materials (pamphlets, flyers, and/or booklets) will be disseminated to all involved
personnel as part of Goldsboro's Public Education Action Plan (Section 5.0). It is
anticipated that most (if not all) of these materials can be obtained from agencies such
as DWQ and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In addition, the written
training materials may be accompanied by seminars and hands-on field training. The
General Services Department will be responsible for coordinating personnel training
and for scheduling all illegal discharge activities.
3.5 Preveniing Discharges and Establlshing a Hotline
The Planning and Finance Departments will contact persons who are responsible for
establishments that are likely sources of illegal discharges (e.g., auto sales, rental, and
repair businesses, lawn care companies, cleaners, and certain types of contractors). A
Ietter (see sample letter in Appendix D) will be mailed to all such businesses that can
be identified. The mailing list will be compiled from sources such as the Chamber of
Commerce listings, the local Yellow Pages, and business tax rolls, and will be mailed
before the first annual report is due in October 2001.
By October 2001, the Community Affairs Department will establish an illegal
discharge hotline as a cost-effective way to identify illegal discharges. There will be a
recording advising citizens what to do if they call during nonbusiness hours, or in the
case where an illegal discharge is perceived to be an emergency. The Inspection
Department will investigate all potential illegal discharges identified through the
hotline. Part of the Public Education Action Plan (discussed in Section 5.0) will be to
educate citizens about what types of discharges should not go to the stormwater
collection system and make them aware of the hotline.
Table 3.4 is a summary table showing the phased implementation schedule for illegal
discharges.

Detection and Elimination Minimum Control Measure. Adjustments have been made
to this Stormwater Management Program to comply with the requirements of EPA's Program Plan for Illegal
Phase II Stormwater rule based upon NCDENR's instructions for the Phase H Discharges
Stormwater Permit. The Phase II Program includes the following:
A storm sewer system map, showing the location of all outfalls and the
names and location of all waters of the US that receive discharges from those
outfalls. During the collection of jurisdiction --wide information, all waters
will be mapped that appear on NRCS Soil Survey Map and USGS I:24,000
scale topographic map. Outfalls will be mapped during the mapping and field
screening of each high -priority area; however, the outfall mapping schedule for
this program (Neuse Stormwater Rule) must be accelerated to meet the
expected Phase II requirements.
• That an ordinance, or other regulatory mechanism, establish a prohibition
on non -storm water discharges into the municipal separate storm sewer
systems (MS4), and appropriate enforcement procedures and actions. The
ordinances established in response to the Neuse Stormwater Rule will fulfill
this requirement.
• A plan to detect and address non -storm water discharges, including illegal
dumping, into the MS4s. The ordinances established in response to the Neuse
Stormwater Rule will fulfill this requirement.
The education of public employees, businesses, and the general public about
the hazards associated with illegal discharges and improper disposal of
waste. The Public Education Action Plan (detailed in Section 5.0) lays the
groundwork for a comprehensive stormwater education program for the City of
Goldsboro. The required Phase 11 elements are already a part of this program.
Additional elements have been added to the Action Plan for the Neuse
Stormwater Rule now that the State has issued the Phase H Permit.
The determination of appropriate best management practices and
measurable goals for this minimum control measure. The Phase II
Stormwater rules recommend four steps for their plan: (1) locate problem
areas, (2) find the source, (3) remove/correct illicit connections, and (4)
document actions taken. This Program Plan for Illegal Discharges addresses
all of the Phase II components, and required only minimal changes to comply
with Phase lI Stormwater requirements.

4. Retrofit locations
Retrofit Locations
4.1 AnnualRevolltActlons
Goldsboro will establish a program to identify places within existing developed areas
that are suitable for retrofits. Based on their current census figures, Goldsboro will
identify a minimum of three retrofit locations each year. Possible sites for retrofits will
be selected by the Planning and Engineering Departments. The Engineering
Department will then conduct a feasibility study of each site before compiling a final
list of acceptable sites. This list will be submitted to the Stakeholders Committee to set
the priority for each site, and then to the Steering Committee for approval of the final
selections (see Section 5.0 for more information on the Stakeholders and Steering
Committees). The retrofit information tables, which must be included in the annual
report, will be prepared by the Engineering Department during each feasibility study.
Retrofit opportunities will be considered acceptable if all of the following conditions
have been investigated:
• The retrofit, if implemented, clearly has the potential to reduce nitrogen
tloading to the receiving water.
• The watershed is clearly contributing nitrogen loading above background
levels.
• The landowner where the retrofit is proposed is willing to have the retrofit
installed on his property (often the most difficult aspect of implementing a
retrofit).
• There is adequate space and access for the retrofit.
• It is technically practical to install a retrofit at that location.
Sites may be carried over to meet minimum requirements for up to two subsequent
years provided that BMPslretrofits have not been implemented and the site continues to
' meet the criteria above on an annual basis.

• Location of retrofit opportunity.
• Property boundaries in the vicinity of the retrofit opportunity.
• Significant hydrography (as depicted on USGS topographic maps and NRCS

5. Public Education and Public Involvement
51 Public Motion Action Plan
The Neuse Stormwater Rule requires that Goldsboro develop a locally administered
environmental education program (a Public Education Action Plan) to address nitrogen
loading issues. This Action Plan will outline the proposed education activities for the
upcoming year, and will identify target audiences and anticipated costs of the program.
Goldsboro will submit their annual Action Plan to DWQ for approval prior to October
1 of each year, starting October 1, 2001.
The Action Plan will consist of activities from each of the two categories listed in
Table 5.1. Innovative activities not included in this table may be considered on a case -
by -case basis. All activities must be designed to raise awareness and educate the
audience about water quality, nonpoint source pollution, and the effects of everyday
activities on water quality and nutrient loading. At least one of these activities will be
directed at educating the citizens about what types of discharges should not go to the
stormwater collection system and to making them aware of the illegal discharge
hotline. In addition to the Category 1 and 2 activities, this Action Plan will include two
technical workshops in the first year and a toll free hotline for reporting illegal
discharges.

As discussed in Section 2.2.1, information sources will be provided to property owners
and developers explaining the benefit to them of incorporating site planning practices Public Education and
into their new development plans from the onset. Information sources may also be Public Involvement
provided on the various BMPs available for nitrogen reduction as well as information
on new BMP techniques or improvements in established BMP techniques.
For the training of City personnel to identify and remove illegal discharges (Section
3.4), training materials such as pamphlets, flyers, and/or booklets will be disseminated
to all involved personnel by the General Services Department. It is anticipated that
most (if not all) of these materials can be obtained from agencies such as DWQ and the
US EPA. In addition, the written training materials may be accompanied by seminars
and hands-on field training.
5.1.1 Planned Activities
Goldsboro (with a population of less than 60,000) will include two Category I
activities and two Category 2 activities in their annual Action Plan. The combination
of activities selected by the City will be chosen so as to provide a general awareness of
nitrogen loading issues and address a diverse audience.
The ultimate goal of the Public Education Program is to utilize major media
advertising (television, radio, and newspaper) to reach a broad audience (but may be
cost prohibitive). Should Goldsboro use effective major media advertising, either
independently or through a cooperative effort, then Goldsboro will be exempt from the
minimum Category 1 and 2 requirements.
As part of Goldsboro's integrative approach to managing their Stormwater
Management Program, two separate advisory committees were formed to aid in the
development of the City's Stormwater Plan: The Steering Committee, an internal
management group, and a Stakeholder's Conuwttee, a select community group. Both
committee's were convened on July 12 and August 17, 2000 to provide direct input
into this Program Plan.
The Steering Committee is composed of representatives from the City Manager's
office, and the General Services, Recreation and Parks, Planning, Engineering,
Community Affairs, and Finance Departments. The Charge to the Steering Committee
' included the need to assign responsibilities for program elements, consider manpower
and budgetary needs, obstacles to implementation, and steps that could be taken to
remove obstacles and/or provide incentives for program participation. It is anticipated

that the Steering Committee will continue to meet on a quarterly basis to review the
implementation of the program and to address any new issues which may arise. Public Education and
Public Involvement
For the Stakeholder's Committee, individuals from the following concerns were
invited to participate, along with representatives from the City Manager's office: the
Chamber of Commerce, Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, Industry, Commercial
Development, Wayne Community College, the Economic Development Corp., the
Neuse River Foundation, a large and small developer, an engineer, and a concerned
property owner (and flood victim). Although compliance with the Neuse River Rule
(and eventually EPA's Phase II Rule) is mandatory, the City wanted to establish a
means for active involvement and input by affected citizenry. It was explained to the
Stakeholder's that only by voicing their concerns about program implementation, and
by sharing their ideas for public education/participation and specific program
incentives, could the program be tailored to best serve the citizens of Goldsboro.
It is anticipated that this group, or one structured very similar to it, will continue to
meet on a quarterly basis to discuss any problems and concerns they encounter
during program implementation. This group is an excellent starting place for later
community involvement in carrying out the program, and will help provide support
for enforcement and funding initiatives.
In addition, Goldsboro already has several entities in place which are useful in
disseminating information to the public and for garnering their involvement.
Community Affairs will utilize these groups as avenues for public education and
outreach, and public participation/involvement.
The Commission of Community Affairs was established to "inform the general
public of existing local, state and federal policies, regulations and programs and
how these particular policies, regulations and programs directly affect the lives of
area residents." In addition, their purpose is to create a forum which permits open
discussion and invites the free expression of public opinion, as well as to achieve
and sustain an effective degree of citizen involvement.
The Planning Commission was established to serve as an advisory board to make
recommendations to the City Council on any matter presented to them by the
Director of Planning and Community Development, by any local governing board,
or by any Board member.
The Advisory Committee on Community Development consists of ten citizens and
residents of the City, with special efforts made to include a majority of members
who are low- and moderate -income persons, members of minority groups,
residents of area where significant amounts of activity are proposed or on -going,
GA➢ocu m and S.Mrq,�we M.W y Coc tsr--d6hM1PM..11SWMPkRWi$W SWMPV,-1 D.-ISMP P.PW.d- 5-3

the elderly, the handicapped, the business community, and civic groups who are
concerned about community development. At least two members from each
community development area must be included. This committee, or one structured
like it, could be used to play an active role in educating the general public on
stormwater related issues.
• The Youth Council offers an organization through which the youth of the
community may benefit both themselves and their community. Stormwater
concerns would be an excellent opportunity to initiate programs and projects that
are of benefit to the youth and to the City of Goldsboro.
5.1.2 Technical Workshops
During the first year of program implementation, General Services will take
responsibility for conducting two technical workshops. One shall be designed to
educate local government officials and staff, and the other for the development
community (including engineers, developers, architects, contractors, surveyors,
planners, and realtors). In subsequent years, workshops are considered an option under
Category 2 activities, and will be considered for inclusion in the annual Education
Action Flan.
5.2 Incorporating D=ng Resources and Programs
Community teaming is encouraged in the Stormwater Rule, and Goldsboro will make
every effort to research and incorporate existing resources and Stormwater education
programs. Although Goldsboro's unique Action Plan will fulfill all public education
requirements from the onset, the City recognizes that utilizing existing resources will
not only result in a more consistent education effort for communities of all sizes, but
will make the most efficient use of available resources and will reduce duplication of
efforts.
Teaming possibilities with Wayne County will continually be explored, particularly in
regards to the following Public Education activities:
• Major Media Advertising: If the City and County could implement effective
major media advertising (radio, television, newspaper), they will become
exempt from minimum Category 1 and 2 activities.
' + Category 1 and 2 activities: If effective major media advertising is not
employed, it may prove easiest and most cost efficient to conduct planned
activities together.

costs and duplication of efforts.
5.3 EPIrs Phase II stoMater Relloh nenlIS
As detailed earlier in this section, Goldsboro already has several entities in place which
are useful in disseminating information to the public and for garnering their
involvement. These groups may become an integral part of Goldsboro's Phase H
Stormwater Management Program which requires public education and outreach, and
public participation/involvement. For Phase II, educational materials and strategies
will be tailored to activities relevant to local situations and issues, while reaching a
variety of audiences and communities including ethnic, minority, and low-income
communities; academia and educational institutions; neighborhood and community
groups; children; outdoor recreation groups; and business and industry. Goldsboro's
Public Education Action Plan for the Neuse Stormwater Rule will serve as an excellent
foundation for the City's Phase lI efforts, and will be expanded and/or tailored'on an
annual basis.

Pollution Prevention/Good
' Another component of the Phase H Rule is the Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping
Housekeeping Minimum Control Measure. The General Services Department has
responsibility for the development and implementation of a maintenance program with
the ultimate goal of preventing and reducing pollutant runoff from municipal
operations into the storm sewer system. In addition, the program will include
employee training on how to incorporate pollution prevention/good housekeeping
' techniques into municipal operations. If such components are not already an integral
part of Goldsboro's Action Plan by the time this Minimum Control Measure is required
by the Phase II Rule, these particular education and training initiatives will be
incorporated into the SWMP by reference to the Public Education Action Plan.

Table 7.1 Specific Annual Nitrogen Loading Reporting Requirements
1.
The predevelopmeut nitrogen load from all land developed during the past
year. This can be determined by:
•
Taking total acres of cropland developed multiplied by 13.6 lbs/ac/yr, and adding
•
Total acres of pasture developed multiplied by 4.4 lbs/ac/yr for pasture, and adding
•
Total acres of forested land developed multiplied by 1.7 lbslaclyr, and adding
•
Total acres of residential land redeveloped multiplied by 7.5 lbs/ac/yr, and adding
•
Total acres of commercial and industrial lands redeveloped multiplied by 13.0 lbs/ac/yr.
2.
The post development nitrogen load from all land developed during the past
year without structural BMPs.
3.
The post development nitrogen load from all land developed during the past
year with structural BMPs. Unfortunately, it will be very difficult to document
the improvements in nitrogen loading due to the implementation of nonstructural
BMPs. However, jurisdictions are more than welcome to attempt this if they
wish.
4.
Pounds of nitrogen bought by developers making offset payments to the
Wetland Restoration Program.
5.
The net change in nitrogen loading for the year. This would be (Item 3 - Item
1) - Item 4. A positive number would denote an increase; a negative number
would denote a decrease.
6.
The reductions in nitrogen loading due to structural BMPs and Wetland
Restoration Program payments. This would be (Item 2 - Item 3) + Item 4. This
should be a positive number that represents the pounds of nitrogen removed that
year as a result of implementing the Neuse Stormwater Rule.
* This list of items that should be accounted for was agreed upon by the Neuse Stormwater Team during
their June 1, 2000 meeting.

8. EPA Phase 11 Measurable Goals 1
EPA Phase II Measurable
The City of Goldsboro has designed their Stormwater Management Program to: Goals '
• Reduce the discharge of pollutants to the "maximum extent practicable"
• Protect water quality; and
• Satisfy the appropriate water quality requirements of the Clean Water Act. I
Implementation of the MEP standard requires the development and implementation of
BMPs and the achievement of measurable goals to satisfy each of the six minimum
control measures. Under the Phase II Rule, the City of Goldsboro's Stormwater
Management Program has six elements that, when implemented in concert, is expected
to result in significant reductions of pollutants discharge into receiving water bodies.
The six MS4 program elements, termed "minimum control measures," are outlined in
Appendix F. Each is followed by a preliminary schedule of measurable goals, which is
required for each minimum control measure, and is intended to gauge permit
compliance and program effectiveness. The measurable goals, as well as the BMPs, '
reflect the needs and characteristics of the operator and the area served by its small
MS4. Furthermore, they were chosen using an integrated approach that fully addresses
the requirements and intent of the minimum control measure. 1

GENERAL PROVISIONS
§ 155.01 STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION.
The Legislature of the State of North Carolina has, in Chapter (T15A), Article (02B),
Section (.0235), entitled Neuse River Basin - Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management
Strategy; Basinwide Stormwater Requirements, designated specific local governments for
new of development stormwater management requirements as part of the Neuse River
1 Storm waterOrd.doc - 1/8-
25 February 2003

Nutrient Sensitive Waters stormwater management strategy. Therefore, the City Council
does ordain as follows in this chapter.
(Ord. 2000-95, passed 11-20-00)
NUTRIENT REDUCTION PEAK RUNOFF CONTROL,
AND PROTECTING RIPARIAN BUFFERS
§ 155.02 NUTRIENT REDUCTION REQUIREMENTS.
(A) Definition of new development/land disturbance. For purposes of this chapter,
DEVELOPMENT OR LAND DISTURBANCE shall be defined to include the
following:
(1) Any activity that disturbs greater than one acre of land in order to establish,
expand or modify a single-family or duplex residential development or a recreational
facility,
(2) Any activity that disturbs greater than one-half acre of land in order to
establish, expand or modify a multi -family residential development or a commercial,
industrial or institutional facility,
(3) Any grubbing, stump removal and/or grading activity,
(B) Exemptions. Agriculture, mining or forestry activities are not subject to the new
development requirements of this chapter.
(C) Vested rights.
(1) Property owners that can demonstrate that they have vested rights as of the
effective date of this chapter will not be subject to the requirements for new development.
Vested rights may be based on at least one of the following:
(a) Substantial expenditures of resources as determined by the Engineering
Department (time, labor, and money) based on a good faith reliance upon having received
a valid local government approval to proceed with the project, or
(b) Having an outstanding valid building permit in compliance with G.S. §
153A-344.1 or G.S. § 160A-385.1, or
(c) Having an approved site specific or phased development plan in
compliance with G.S. § 153A-344.1 or G.S. § 160A-385.1.
(2) Projects that require state permits, such as landfills, NPDES wastewater
discharges, land application of residuals and road construction activities shall be
considered to have vested rights if a state permit was issued prior to the effective date of
this chapter.
(D) Calculation of nitrogen export. The nitrogen export from each development
must be calculated. This export will be calculated in pounds per acre per year (lb/ac/yr).
The following methodologies will be used for calculating nitrogen export from new
development (refer to the City of Goldsboro Stormwater Management Program for
Nitrogen Control in The Neuse River Basin for calculating nitrogen export loading):
Storm waterOrd.doc -2/8- 25 February 2003 1

(1) Method 1 is intended for residential developments where lots arc shown, but
the actual footprints of buildings are not shown on the plans.
(2) Method 2 is for residential, commercial, and industrial developments when
the entire footprint of the roads, parking lots, buildings, and any other built -upon area is
shown on the site plans.
(3) For nonresidential subdivisions where the impervious surfaces are not
shown on the plans at the time of submittal, the developer or builder will specify areas of
impervious surface,, undisturbed open space, and managed open space in their building
permit application, assuming the maximum impervious surfaces and minimum open
space for the project design. The developer or builder will then use Method 2 for their
calculation.
(4) For redevelopment projects, a modified procedure as described by the NC
' Division of Water Quality (DWQ) will be used to determine the total change in nitrogen
loading.
(E) Nitrogen export standards.
(1) All new development will be limited to a nitrogen export of 3.6 pounds per
acre per year (lbs/ac/yr). Property owners will have the option to partially offset projected
nitrogen loads by funding wetland or riparian area restoration through the NC Wetlands
Restoration Program. As established by Rule 15A NCAC 2B .0240, the rate shall be
$11/lb/yr, at an amount sufficient to fund 30 years of nitrogen reduction. The result is a
one-time offset payment of $330/lb/ac, which must be paid prior to approval of the
development plan. However, no new residential development will be permitted to exceed
a total nitrogen loading rate of 6.0 lbs/ac/yr, and no new nonresidential development will
be permitted to exceed 10.0 lbs/ac/yr.
(2) If the development contributes greater than 3.6 pounds per acre per year of
nitrogen, then the table below summarizes the options available, depending upon whether
the development is residential or nonresidential. Any changes to the nitrogen export
standards approved by the Environmental Management Commission will be adopted by
reference.

owner must provide the city with evidence that DWQ has received payment prior to the
city's issuance of a building permit.
(Ord. 2000-95, passed 11-20-00)
§ 155.03 PEAK RUNOFF CONTROL.
(A) There shall be no net increase in peak stormwater runoff flow leaving a new
development site from the pre -development conditions for the 1-year, 24-hour storm as
determined by calculating the pre- and post -development runoff in accordance with the
City of Goldsboro Stormwater Management Program for Nitrogen Control in The Neuse
River Basin.
(B) The Rational Method is the most common method for computing the peak rate
of runoff from small drainage basins (up to 150 acres) and will be used to determine the
peak flow from both the pre -development (performed prior to issuance of the building
permit) and post -development (performed prior to issuance of the certificate of
occupancy) conditions. If peak runoff needs to be calculated for a larger drainage area
(more than 150 acres), the peak discharge method as described in the USDA Soil
Conservation Service's Technical Release Number 55 (TR-55) will be employed for
StormwaterOrd.doc - 4/8- 25 February 2003 1

computing the pre- and post -development conditions.
(Ord. 2000-95, passed 11-20-00)
§ 155.04 PROTECTING RIPARIAN BUFFERS.
(A) Establishment of buffer. Riparian areas must be protected on new
developments in accordance with the Riparian Buffer Rule (15A NCAC 213 .0233). The
rule requires for protecting and maintaining the 50-foot riparian buffers on all sides of
intermittent and perennial streams, ponds, lakes, and estuaries in the Neuse River Basin.
These waters must'be shown on the most recent version of either a Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) soil survey county map or a 1:24,000 scale (7.5 minute
quadrangle) topographic map prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The city
will refrain from issuing local approvals for any new development activity that is
proposed to take place within the first 50 feet adjacent to an affected water body, unless:
(1) The person requesting the approval does not proposed to impact the riparian
buffer of a surface water indicated on the NRCS or USGS maps listed above, or
be:
(2) The property owner had received approval by DWQ. DWQ approval could
(a) An on -site determination from DWQ that surface waters are not present;
(b) An authorization certificate for a use designated as allowable;
(c) An authorization certificate and approval on a mitigation plan for a use
designated as allowable with mitigation; or
(d) A variance.
(B) Description of buffers on development plans. Riparian areas to be protected
will be recorded on new or modified plats. If the plat shows an encroachment into a
riparian buffer, the appropriate DWQ approval must accompany the preliminary and
fiend plat submissions.
(Ord. 2000-95, passed 11-20-00)
BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
' § 155.10 ALLOWABLE BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES.
(A) The following best management practices may be utilized for nitrogen

(C) If more than one BMP is installed in series on a development, then the removal
rate shall be determined through serial rather than additive calculations. For example, if a
wet detention pond discharges through a riparian buffer, then the removal rate shall be
estimated to be 47.5%. The pond removes 25% of the nitrogen and discharges 75%n into
the buffer. The buffer then removes 30% of the nitrogen discharged from the pond, which
is 22.5%. The sum of 25 and 22.5 is 47.5. The removal rate is not 25% plus 30%.
(Ord. 2000-95, passed 11-20-00)
§ 155.11 MAINTENANCE OF BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES.
All best management practices that are implemented to achieve nitrogen reduction and
StormwaterOrd.doc - 6/8- 25 February 2003

flow attenuation will require a maintenance plan. For the purposes of this chapter refer to:
(A) Section 96.40, Improperly Operating BMPs (Stormwater Control Facilities) are
Prohibited; Responsibility for Maintenance.
(B) Section 96.41, Compliance with Provisions.
(C) Section 96.42, Inspections and Annual Inspection Fee.
(Ord. 2000-95, passed 11-20-00)
BUILDING PERMIT, REVIEW FEES, AND ENFORCEMENT
§ 155.20 BUILDING PERMIT AND BUILDING PERMIT REVIEW FEES.
(A) As of the effective date of the adoption of this chapter, any builder applying for
a building permit must submit his calculations for nitrogen loading and peak runoff with
both the preliminary and final plats. Application for a building permit constitutes a
certification by the developer or builder that all provisions of this chapter have been fully
met and that the calculations for nitrogen loading and peak runoff, as shown on the
preliminary and final plats, are correct. Any BMP requiring engineering design will have
the engineer's seal and signature affixed to the design drawing, and the engineer's seal
will attest that the design for the BMP was completed in accordance with good
engineering practices.
(B) The City Council may set a fee structure for the cost of reviewing all building
' permit applications for compliance with this chapter, and the fee schedule will be as
shown in the City of Galdsboro Stormwater Management Program for Nitrogen Control
in the Neuse River Basin.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
§ 151.01 SHORT TITLE.
This chapter shall be known as the "Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance," and the
maps herein referred to are identified by the titles. (FIRM) "Flood Insurance Rate Map"
and (FI•IBM) "Flood Hazard Boundary Map".
(Ord. 1991-50, passed 8-5-91)
§ 151.02 STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION.
The Legislature of the State of North Carolina has in G.S. §§ 143-215.51 et seq.,
160A- 381 et seq., 160A-411 et seq., and 160A-456 et seq., delegated the responsibility
to local governmental units to adopt regulations designed to promote the public health,
safety, and general welfare of its citizenry. Therefore, the City Council does ordain as
follows in this chapter.
(Ord. 1991-50, passed 8-5-91)
§ 151.03 FINDINGS OF FACT.
(A) The flood hazard areas of the city are subject to periodic inundation which
results in loss of life, property, health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and
governmental services, extraordinary public expenditures of flood protection and relief,
and impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety, and
general we] fare.
(B) These flood losses are caused by the cumulative effect of obstructions in
floodplains causing increases in flood heights and velocities, and by the occupancy in
flood hazard areas by uses vulnerable to floods or hazardous to other lands which are
FloodOrd.doc - 2/20- 25 February 2003

' inadequately elevated, floodproofed, or otherwise unprotected from flood damages.
(Ord. 1991-50, passed 8-5-91)
§ 151.04 STATEMENT OF PURPOSE.
' It is the purpose of this chapter to promote the public health, safety, and general
welfare and to minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in specific
areas by provisions designed to:
' (A) Restrict.or prohibit uses which are dangerous to health, safety, and property
due to water or erosion hazards, or which result in damaging increases in erosion or in
' flood heights or velocities;
(B) Require that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities which serve such
uses, be protected against flood damage at the time of initial construction;
1 (C) Control the alteration of natural floodplains, stream channels, and natural
protective barriers which are involved in the accommodation of flood waters;
(D) Control filling, grading, dredging, and other development which may increase
erosion or flood damage; and
1 (E) Prevent or regulate the construction of flood barriers which will unnaturally
divert flood waters or which may increase flood hazards to other lands.
(Ord. 1991-50, passed 8-5-91)
§ 151.05 OBJECTIVES.
The objectives of this chapter are to:
(A) Protect human life and health;
(B) Minimize expenditure of public money for costly flood control projects;
(C) Minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding and
generally undertaken at the expense of the general public;
(D) Minimize prolonged business interruptions;
(E) Minimize damage to public facilities and utilities such as water and gas mains,
electric, telephone and sewer lines, streets, and bridges located in floodplains;
(F) Help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound use and
development of flood prone areas in such a manner as to minimize flood blight areas; and
(G) insure that potential home buyers are notified that property is in a flood area.
(Ord. 1991-50, passed 8-5-91)

addition, or other improvement of a structure, the cost of which equals or exceeds 50% of
the market value of the structure before the start of construction of the improvement. The
term SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVE, MENTincludes structures which have incurred
"substantial damage", regardless of the actual repair work performed. The term does not,
however, include either: any project of improvement of a structure to correct existing
violations of state or local health, sanitary, or safety code specifications which have been
identified by the local code enforcement official and which arc the minimum necessary
IFloodOrd.doe - 7/20-
25 February 2003

to, assure safe living conditions; or, any alteration of a historic structure, provided that
the alteration will not preclude the structure's continued designation as a historic
structure.
SUBSTANTIALLY IMPROVED EXISTING MANUFACTURED HOME PARKor
SUB -DIVISION. Where the repair, reconstruction, rehabilitation or improvement of the
streets, utilities and pads equals or exceeds 50% of the value of the streets, utilities and

GENERAL PROVISIONS
§ 156.01 SHORT TITLE.
This chapter shall be known as the "Illegal Discharge Control Ordinance," but may
1 IIlegalDischargeOrd.doc - 119-
25 February 2003

also be referred to as the "Illicit Discharge Ordinance."
(Ord. 2001, passed 2-19-01)
§ 156.02 STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION.
The Legislature of the state has, in Ch. T15A, Art. 02B, §.0235, entitled Neuse River
Basin - Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy: Basinwide Stormwater
Requirement [hereafter referred to as the Neuse Stormwater Rule], designated specific
local governments for stormwater management requirements as part of the Neuse River
Nutrient Waters stormwater management strategy. Therefore, the City Council does
ordain as follows in this chapter.
(Ord. 2001, passed 2-19-01)
§ 156.03 FINDINGS OF FACT.
(A) Water quality has been an issue in the Neuse River Basin for over a century.
Dcspite a number of initiatives between 1950 and 1995, the Neuse River Basin has
continued to have water quality problems. Although environmental conditions in the
Neuse River are driven by complex interactions between rainfall, flows, temperatures,
biological factors, and chemistry, the long history of problems with nutrient pollution and
algal blooms provides evidence that immediate control measures are necessary.
(B) In August 1998, the final comprehensive Neuse River Nutrient Sensitive
Waters Strategy was adopted. The goal of the strategy is to achieve a 30% nitrogen
reduction from each controllable and quantifiable source of nitrogen in the basin. The city
was one of the 15 largest and fastest -growing local governments in the Neuse River basin
which was required to comply with the Neuse Stormwater Rule. This rule contains four
program elements, one of which pertains to illegal discharges.
(C) Illegal discharges are substances deposited in storm sewers (which lead directly
to streams) that really should be handled as wastewater discharges. Depending on the
source, illegal discharges may contain nitrogen. Local governments that must comply
with the Neuse Stormwater Rule, including the city, must identify and remove illegal
discharges.
(Ord. 2001, passed 2-19-01)
§ 156.04 STATEMENT OF PURPOSE.
(A) This purpose of this chapter is to:
(1) Protect the public health, safety and welfare by controlling the discharge of
pollutants into the stormwater conveyance system.
(2) Promote activities directed toward the maintenance and improvement of
surface and ground water quality.
(3) Satisfy the requirements imposed upon the city under its National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MSa)
discharge permit issued by the state; and
I I legalDi sc hargeOrd. doc - 219- 25 February 2003 1

(4) Establish administration and enforcement procedures through which these
purposes can be fulfilled.
(B) The provisions of this chapter are supplemental to regulations administered by
federal and state governments.
(Ord. 2001, passed 2-19-01)
§ 156.05 OBJECTIVES.
The objectives of this chapter are to:
(A) Regulate the discharge of substances which may contaminate or cause
pollution of stormwater, stormwater conveyances, or waters of the state;
(B) Regulate connections to the stormwater conveyance system;
(C) Provide for the proper handling of spills; and
(D) Provide for the enforcement of same

Re: The City of Goldsboro's "Illegal Discharge Control Ordinance"
Dear Business Owner or Operator,
The City of Goldsboro has adopted an "Illegal Discharge Control Ordinance" on March 1, 2001 to satisfy
requirements of the State and protect the water quality of local streams and the Neuse River. This ordinance
prohibits illicit connections and/or discharges to the City's storm drain system (streets, catch basins, curbs,
gutters, ditches, man-made and natural channels, pipes, culverts, etc.). You are receiving this letter because
you are involved in a business that is a likely source of illicit discharges.
Illicit discharges include any discharge other than stormwater to the storm drain system, except for the
activities listed below (provided the dot significantly imtxrct water rtuality).
(1) Filter backwash and draining associated with swimming pools;
(2) Filter backwash and draining associated with raw water intake screening and filtering devices;
(3) Condensate from residential or commercial air conditioning;
(4) Residential vehicle washing;
(5) Flushing and hydrostatic testing water associated with utility distribution systems;
(6) Discharges associated with emergency removal and treatment activities, for hazardous materials,
authorized by the federal, State, or local government on -scene coordinator;
(7) Uncontaminated ground water [including the collection or pumping of springs, wells, or rising
ground water and ground water generated by well construction or other construction activitiesl;
(8) Collected infiltrated stormwater from foundation or footing drains;
(9) Collected ground water and infiltrated stormwater from basement or crawl space pumps;
(10) Irrigation water;
(11) Street wash water;
(12) Flows from fire fighting;
(13) Discharges from the pumping or draining of natural watercourses or waterbodies;
(14) Flushing and cleaning of stormwater conveyances with unmodified potable water;
1

(I5) Wash water from the cleaning of the exterior of buildings, including gutters, provided that the 1
discharge does not pose an environmental or health threat; and
(16) Other non-stormwater discharges for which a valid NPDES discharge permit has been approved '
and issued by DENR and provided that any such discharges to the municipal separate storm sewer
system shall be authorized by the City. '
Substances prohibited from introduction into the storm drain system include, but are not limited to: oil,
anti -freeze, chemicals, animal and human waste, paints, garbage, litter, and other pollutants.
An illicit connection is any connection which allows the unlawful discharge of non-stormwater to the
stormwater conveyance or waters of the State, as specified above. Illicit connections are prohibited, and '
must be corrected by: cutting off and sealing the connection, reconnecting to the sanitary sewer (may
require a permit) or other treatment facility with a permit, or applying for and receiving a discharge permit
under the NPDES.
A copy of the ordinance can be obtained by calling the City of Goldsboro's General Services Department
(734-8674).

Goldsboro's Public Education Action Plan
Goldsboro, in complying with the requirements of The Neuse Stormwater Rule (15A NCAC 2B
.0235), has prepared this locally unique Public Education Action Plan for the City. This Action Plan
outlines the proposed education activities for the upcoming year, identifies target audiences, and
estimates the anticipated costs of the program. In addition, because this is the first Action Plan to be
submitted to the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for approval, components of the Action Plan
which were to be addressed by the municipalities prior to submittal of the first Annual Report (due
October 31) are also discussed.
Goldsboro (with a population of less than 60,000) will conduct two Category 1 activities and two
Category 2 activities (see Table 1 below) as part of their annual Action Plan. One of the activities is
directed at educating the citizens about what types of discharges should not go to the stormwater
collection system and making them aware of the illegal discharge hotline. In addition to the two
Category 1 and two Category 2 activities, the City has conducted two technical workshops in the first
year (one for City staff and local government officials, and one for the development community) and
will be establishing a toll free hotline for reporting illegal discharges.

The combination of activities selected by the City was chosen to raise awareness of nitrogen loading
issues across as diverse an audience as possible (including ethnic, minority, and low-income
communities; academia and educational institutions; neighborhood and community groups; children;
outdoor recreation groups; and business and industry). Specifically, activities were chosen that would
educate the public about water quality, nonpoint source pollution, and the effects of everyday
activities on water quality and nutrient loading. Table 2 illustrates the eight major audiences being
targeted by these education efforts, and the specific categories of information that will be stressed for
each audience.

Year One Activities
As mentioned above, Goldsboro conducted two technical workshops in the first year of the
Stormwater Management Program. A brief description of each workshop is presented below.
City Staff Workshop:
Goldsboro held a 2-hour technical workshop on February 14, 2001 for City Staff (conducted by
ARCADIS G&M) to introduce them to the Goldsboro's Stormwater Management Program for
Nitrogen Control in the Neuse River Basin (SMP) and to prepare them to carry out the Program. This
workshop was attended by representatives from Engineering, Planning, Inspections, General Services
(Garage/Maintenance, Streets/Storm Sewers, Sanitation, and Building and Traffic Maintenance),
Public Works, Recreation and Parks, Community Affairs, the Fire Department, and the City
Manager's Office. The workshop consisted of:
+ a general introduction to stormwater as well as a discussion of the need for the Neuse
Stormwater Rule and who would be affected;
• a presentation of the four elements of the Neuse Stormwater Rule;
• the annual reporting requirements;
• what is anticipated to be included in EPA's Phase Il Rule; and
• a question and answer period.
Development Community Workshop:
Goldsboro and Wayne County teamed together to present a 4-hour technical workshop on March 1,
2001 at Wayne Community College to introduce the development community to the City's and
County's SMPs and to prepare them to meet the Nitrogen Runoff and Peak Discharge requirements
of the SMPs. Invitations were mailed to engineers, developers, architects, contractors, surveyors,
planners, realtors, and several business entities such as Wooten Oil Co. and Lane Tree Golf Club.
Although the basic components of the workshop were the same as those presented at the Goldsboro
Staff Workshop, each of the four program elements were discussed in much more detail. The
participants were then walked through actual calculations of nitrogen loading and peak runoff for
small residential, large residential, and commercial developments, as well as examples involving the
implementation of BMPs. Sample worksheets - completed independently by the participants — were
then reviewed, followed by a question and answer period. Continuing Education Credits (CEC) were
provided by the College.
Toll Free Hotline:
Goldsboro is in the process of establishing a toll free hotline for reporting illegal discharges and illicit
connections. This number will be answered in person during normal business hours, and by voice
rnail after hours and on weekends. Each call will be logged in, then the information will be
forwarded to the appropriate field personnel for follow-up. The resolution of each call will also be
documented, providing a complete record which will then be used for the preparation of the Annual
Report. This hotline will be established by October 31, 2001.

Goldsboro's Proposed Education Action Plan
Category I Activities:
Over the past year, Goldsboro has totally redesigned their web page. It is now possible to obtain
information about the Mayor, the City Council, and each of the 14 City Departments; access a catalog
of City services (with phone numbers); and even browse through the Goldsboro Code of Ordinances.
The Public Utilities De artment already has the following information on their web page under the
Water Treatment Plant section:
Fallowing are some tips for conserving water and maintaining water quality:
• Dispose of hazardous chemicals properly.
• Limit your use of pesticides and fertilizers.
• Check your plumbing for leaks and fix them.
• Take shorter showers.
• Do full loads of laundry and run dishwasher only when full.
• Water lawn and garden only when needed, at night.
They describe Goldsboro's Grease Trap Program that is a part of its Sewer Use Ordinance, and which
applies to industrial and non -domestic establishments, particularly food preparation and food serving
facilities. They also discuss how residential customers can help prevent grease accumulation in (and
therefore, overflows to) the sanitary sewer system.
With such an excellent foundation to start from, this web site will be expanded to include more
detailed information on stormwater and water quality. Specifically, a separate subheader will be
added to the home page and titled along the lines of "Protecting Your Water" or "Stormwater and
You." This link will directly address the impacts of public activities on water quality (such as
pouring oil down the storm sewer, overwatering the lawn and flushing fertilizers into the storm
sewers, and washing cars in the street) and provide links to additional sites on how everyone can help
improve the water quality in the Neuse River Basin.
Targeted Audience: General Public, Homeowners, and Business/
Industry/Institutional/Government Leaders.
Anticipated Cost for Web Page Enhancements: $ 250
(cost for web -page developer)
The second proposed Category I activity will be getting the Mayor's Youth Council involved in
either storm drain stenciling or in an "Adopt -a -Stream" program. This youth group, established in
1974, implements programs and develops projects and special events that will benefit them and their
community. Membership is open to all 9th —12th graders in the Wayne County School System.

Either of these activities will fit quite nicely into the agenda of the Youth Council, which is already
involved in the Keep Wayne County Beautiful program. In addition, the General Services
Department will provide valuable assistance and direction to this group for either of these activities.
They can provide maps of storm drains, and because they conduct annual maintenance inspections of
Stoney Creek (from northern city limits to southern city limits), Reedy Creek (from northern city
limits to Stoney Creek), and Richland's Creek (from eastern city limits to Stoney Creek), can also
provide recommendations for stream segments which could most benefit from being incorporated
into the "Adopt -a -Stream" program.
Targeted Audience: General Public, specifically 9`h to 12'h grade children and
young adults.
Anticipated Cost for "Adopt -a -Stream" program: $ 200
(cost of "Adopt -a -Stream" signs and garbage bags)
Anticipated Cost for Stream Stenciling program: $ 250
(cost of spray paint and templates)
An additional Category 1 activity that Goldsboro will conduct is to enlist the support of the local
' newspaper. By catching the interest of a local reporter, quarterly local newspaper articles on
stormwater and stormwater related issues can be published at no cost to the City, and the newspaper
will reach portions of the general public that may otherwise be missed.
' Targeted Audience: Everyone who reads a newspaper, which should include
portions of all target audiences.
' Anticipated Cost for Quarterly Newspaper Articles: $ 0
'
Category 2 Activities:
Goldsboro's Public Utilities Department mails an annual Consumer Confidence Report on the Water
'
Treatment Plant to all water customers. This is a perfect, cost-effective avenue in which to reach
practically every resident of Goldsboro. Flyers, aimed specifically at educating the public on
stormwater issues and the direct impacts of residential activities on water quality and nutrient loading,
'
will be included in this annual mailing. This mailing always occurs before June 30 each year, and is
usually completed during the first quarter of the calendar year.
'
These same flyers will be posted or made available at locations where the public is frequently found.
This includes placing the flyers next to Building Permit Applications, and posting these flyers in the
library, banks, City buildings, schools, fire stations, police stations, recreation centers (3) and park
'
facilities (11), and at the City -managed golf course.
'
Targeted Audience: Every homeowner and business owner receiving water, sewer,
or refuse services.
Anticipated Cost for flyer insertion: $1,500

The second Category 2 activity which will be conducted is expanding on the City's existing '
"Curbside Recycling and Refuse Program" pamphlet. This booklet describes the City's recycling
program in detail and goes on to address junked or abandoned vehicles, disposing of unwanted bulky
items, and the consequences of having an overgrown lot.
This pamphlet will be expanded to include information on daily activities which impact water quality
(such as the importance of not dumping wastes into the storm sewers) and will advertise the illegal
discharge hotline. An insert will be developed for the existing supply of pamphlets. When the next
printing of pamphlets occurs, an additional page will be added. These pamphlets are provided to all
new customers (residential, commercial and industrial), and given to any customer that is not
complying with the recycling regulations, and are available upon request to the general public. In '
addition, the web site (the first Category I activity) will refer to this pamphlet and provide
information as to how it can be obtained. Copies will also be provided to the schools.
Targeted Audience: Business/ Industry/InstitutionallGovernment Leaders, General Public, and
Homeowners.
Anticipated Cost for expanding the "Curbside Recycling and Refuse Program": $1,000 '

GOLDSBORO, NC 27533-9701
Subject: NPDES Phase 11 Stormwater Program
Richard Slozak:
In 1990 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Phase I Stormwater program was promulgated under the
Clean Water Act. Phase I relies on National Pollutant discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit coverage to
address stormwater runoff from: (1) "medium" and "large" municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) generally
serving populations of 100,000 or greater, (2) construction activity disturbing 5 acres of land or greater, and (3) ten
categories of industrial activity. The NPDES Stormwater Phase II Final Rule was promulgated in December 1999 and is
the next step in EPA's effort to preserve, protect, and improve the Nation's water resources from polluted storm water
runoff. The Phase 11 program expands the Phase I program by requiring additional operators of MS4s in urbanized areas
and operators of small construction sites, through the use of NPDES permits, to implement programs and practices to
control stormwater runoff. Phase It is intended to further reduce adverse impacts to water quality and aquatic habitat by
instituting the use of controls on the unregulated sources of stormwater discharges that have the greatest likelihood of
causing continued environmental degradation.
The NPDES Stormwater Phase II Final Rule requires nationwide coverage of all operators of small MS4s that are
located within the boundaries of a Bureau of the Census defined "urbanized area" based on the latest decennial Census.
We are writing to you to remind you that the City of Goldsboro has been identified as being located within a census -
designated urbanized area in both the 1990 and 2000 decennial census. As a regulated community, you are required to
develop a stormwater management program and apply for stormwater permit coverage, if you own and operate a small
MS4 or file a certification that the City of Goldsboro does not own or operate a small MS4. The deadline for submitting
your application package or non -ownership certification is March 10, 2003. Application and certification documents, as
well as additional information on the NPDES stormwater program, are available for download at our web site . Our web
address is http:l/h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/stormwater.him[. You may also contact us for hard copies of the documents. if
you have any questions about this letter, please feel free to contact me (919-733-5083, ext.525) or Darren England
(919-733-5083, ext. 545)
