1. Population and Estimated Growth Rate
1.1 Population
The population of the City of Goldsboro is 35,434 based on the July 2014 population estimates using the
July 2014 Municipal boundaries, from the North Carolina State Demographics Unit.
1.2 Growth Rate
The City of Goldsboro had a negative 2.75% (-2.75%n) growth rate from the April 2010 census to July
2014. This rate is based on data from the North Carolina State Demographics Unit.
2. Jurisdictional and MS4 Service Areas
The ETJ area is 58.9 square miles, and the MS4 Service Area is 29.3 square miles.
3. 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 Public Works Department, which has a semi-annual
maintenance schedule for cleaning up ditches and culverts, and an on -calf 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.

NARRATIVE STORMWA`I'ER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM FOR THE CITY OF GOLDSBORO
In July 2003, the City of Goldsboro began partnership with the Clean Water Education Partnership
Program (CWEP) which still goes on today and the County oi' Wayne, North Carolina in public
education and outreach for stormwater management. As a part of the CWEP Program, the City of'
Goldsboro takes part in a statewide media campaign geared toward television, radio, and print
advertising. Based on statistics from CWEP, approximately 40% of the radio market and 60% of the TV
market in the City were reached by those media, and the City expects those numbers to continue in
future activity. In addition, annually the City holds staff training on pollution prevention and preventing
illegal discharges, conducts it technical workshop for developers and engineers, posts stormwater
information on its website, and reaches over 11,000 water users by including stormwater information as
part of its annual Consumer Confidence Report on the Water Treatment Plant.
14. Public Involvement and Participation
14.1 Public meeting to review and comment on the Stormwater Plan
The City of Goldsboro created a Stakeholders Committee in July 2000 to help develop their Stormwater
Management Program (SWMP). The Stakeholders Committee consisted of citizens from key sectors of'
the community, to include business leaders, developers, environmental groups, and the military. The
City was also represented on the Committee. The Committee held several meetings, provided input to
the development of the SWMP, and reviewed the draft Program before it was submitted to the State for
approval.
14.2 Annual Feedback on the Stormwater Management Program
At the end of the annual Technical Workshop, the City hosts a short meeting to solicit comments from
the engineering and developer community on key aspects of the Stormwater Management Program.
14.3 Volunteer Program/Citizen Participation

Scouts and Citizens about surface water quality and stormwater. Future activities are planned to get the
general public involved in water quality issues.
14.4 Public Hearings
Goldsboro has developed three ordinances for stormwater management. These were the Ordinance to
Implement Stormwater Management for New Development, the Ordinance for Illegal Discharge
Control, and the Ordinance for the Stormwater Permit. 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. The City also annually briefs
developers and local engineers seeking their input as it Citizen's Advisory Panel on implementation of'
the Stormwater Management Program.
15. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
15.1 Storm Sewer System Map
5
NARRATIVE STORMWA'ITER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM FOR THE CITY OF GOLDS130RO
The City developed their stormwater map showing all major outfalls between 2003 and 2008. Staff
from the Engineering Department, supported by the Public Works department, traveled approximately
20% of the City's streams and receiving waters each year, locating outfalls. The outfalls were mapped
using GPS, and the data was entered into the City's GIS. The GIS Technician maintains all the GIS data
on the outfalls and updates are entered into the system as the Engineering Department collects the data.
15.2 Regulatory Mechanism
Unilied Development Ordinance (UDO), Section 6.6, Illegal Discharge Control prohibits illegal
discharges.
15.3 Enforcement
"iThe UDO authorizes City Inspectors access to property for the purpose of investigating illicit

15.4.1 Procedure for locating priority areas
The City uses dry weather screening and reliance upon citizen reporting through the Hotline or other
methods to detect illegal discharges. Police, Fire, and other City Staff are trained in what to look f'or as
they go about their normal duties and know how to report any suspected illicit connections or illegal
discharges to the City Engineering for further investigation and action.
15.4.2 Procedures for tracing the source of an illicit discharge
If a discharge is suspected, City Staff will track the discharge using a neap of the storm sewer system,
visual and aural clues, and CPS locators to determine the direction and distance to the source, and then
confirm the source by tracking the discharge to the point of origin.
15.4.3 Procedures for removing the source of an illicit discharge
Where a responsible party can be identified, they will be asked to remove the source and clean-up any
remaining material from the discharge. if they fail to remove or eliminate the source or fail to clean-up
the discharge, then the City will take action and attempt to collect their costs from the responsible party
at a later date. The City will ensure that a licensed company is used to remove or dispose of any
hazardous or contaminated material that falls within the City's area of responsibility.
15.4.4 Procedures for evaluating the plan to detect and eliminate illicit discharges
The Illicit. Connection and Illegal Discharge program is evaluated annually as a part of the Stormwater
Management Program Assessment.
15.5 Non-Stormwater Discharges
6
NARRATIVE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM FOR THE CITY OF GOLDSBORO
There are no non -storm water discharges that have been identified as significant contributors of
pollutants to the City's MS4.
15.6 Incidental Non-Stormwater Discharges
There are no local controls established on incidental non-stormwater discharges.
15.7 Outreach
Selected City staff are trained annually on illegal discharges and illicit connections. Periodically the
City sends a letter to selected commercial and industrial activities about the issue of illegal discharges.
The City's website has information for the public on the Illegal Discharge hotline and how to contact the
City to report a problem. Users of the City's solid waste disposal services receive a brochure warning
them of improper disposal of waste material. The staff training is noted in the Education Action plan,
and the outreach activities are part of the CWEP's radio and television advertising. As part of the
pollution prevention/housekeeping measure, annually training is given to select city staff, and this
training includes a discussion on prevention of illegal discharges and actions to take should an accident
result in an illegal discharge.
15.7 Staff Training
Staff training is conducted annually for City staff who are in contact with the public and who are in a
position to report illegal discharges and illicit connections. This staff training is also part of the

. 1. STORM SEWER SYSTEM INFORMATION
1.1. Population Served
The population of the City of Goldsboro is 38, 554 based on the July 2008 population
estimates using the July 2009 Municipal boundaries, from the North Carolina State
Demographics Unit.
1.2. Growth Rate
The City of Goldsboro had a negative 3.8% (-3.8%) growth rate from the 2000 census
to July 2008. This is an annual growth rate of negative .5%. Using the July 2008
data with the July 2009 Municipal boundaries, the rate is negative 1.5% (-1.5%).
This is an annual rate of negative .2% (-.2%) per year. These rates are based on data
from the North Carolina State Demographics Unit.
1.3. Jurisdictional and MS4 Service Areas
The ETJ area is 58.9 square miles, and the MS4 Service Area is 27.5 square miles.
1.4. 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 Public Works 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

7.1.3. Outreach Program-- In July 2003, the City of Goldsboro began
partnership with the Clean Water Education Partnership Program (CWEP)
and the County of Wayne, North Carolina in public education and
outreach for stormwater management. As a part of the CWEP Program,
the City of Goldsboro takes part in a statewide media campaign geared
toward television, radio, and print advertising. Based on statistics from
CWEP, approximately 40% of the radio market and 60% of the TV market
in the City were reached by those media, and the City expects those
numbers to continue in future activity. In addition, annually the City holds
staff training on pollution prevention and preventing illegal discharges,
conducts a technical workshop for developers and engineers, posts
stormwater information on its website, and reaches over 11,000 water
users by including stormwater information as part of its annual Consumer
Confidence Report on the Water Treatment Plant.
7.1.4. Evaluation —The Public Education Action Plan is evaluated as part of the
annual Stormwater Management Assessment and a report is submitted to
the State each October under the Neuse NSW Management Strategy rules.
G7
0 . 7.2. Public Involvement and Participation
7.2.1. Public meeting to review and comment on the Stormwater Plan —The City
of Goldsboro created a Stakeholders Committee in July 2000 to help
develop their Stormwater Management Program (SWMP). The
Stakeholders Committee consisted of citizens from key sectors of the
community, to include business leaders, developers, environmental
groups, and the military. The City was also represented on the
Committee. The Committee held several meetings, provided input to the
development of the SWMP, and reviewed the draft Program before it was
submitted to the State for approval
7.2.2. Volunteer Program/Citizen Participation —The City has worked with the
Boy Scouts of America on an Ad Hoc basis to education and inform local
Scouts and Citizens about surface water quality and stormwater. Future
activities will include projects and Scout activities that will get both Boy
Scouts and the general public involved in water quality issues.
7.2.3. Public Hearings —Goldsboro has developed three ordinances for
stormwater management. These were the Ordinance to Implement
Stormwater Management for New Development, the Ordinance for Illegal
Discharge Control, and the Ordinance for the Stormwater Permit. 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. The City also annually briefs the City Planning;
Commission, seeking their input as a Citizen's Advisory Panel on
implementation of the Stormwater Management Program.
7.2.4. Evaluation —The Public Education Plan is evaluated annually as a part of
the Stormwater Management Program Assessment and a report is
submitted to the State each October under the Neuse River Basin NSW
Management Strategy Program.
0
7.3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
7.3.1. Storm Sewer System Map —The City developed their stormwater map
showing all major outfalls between 2003 and 2008. Staff from the
Engineering Department, supported by the Public Works department,
traveled approximately 20% of the City's streams and receiving waters
each year, locating outfalls. The outfalls were mapped using GPS, and the
data was entered into the City's GIS. The GIS Technician maintains all
the GIS data on the outfalls and updates are entered into the system as the
Engineering; Department collects the data.
7.3.2. Regulatory Mechanism —Unified Development Ordinance (UDO),
Section 6.6, Illegal Discharge Control prohibits illegal discharges.
CEO
4 7.3.3. Enforcement —The UDO authorizes City Inspectors access to property for
the purpose of investigating illicit connections and illegal discharges. The
UDO provides significant penalties although the thrust of the ordinance is
to correct any illicit connection or illegal discharge. City staff undergoes
training in identifying and report illegal discharges and illicit connections.
7.3.4. Detection and Elimination.
7.3.4.1. Procedure for locating priority areas —the City uses dry weather
screening and reliance upon citizen reporting through the Hotline or
other methods to detect illegal discharges. Police, Fire, and other
City Staff are trained in what to look for as they go about their
normal duties and know how to report any suspected illicit
connections or illegal discharges to the City Engineering for further
investigation and action.
7.3.4.2. Procedures for tracing the source of an illicit discharge —If a
discharge is suspected, City Staff will track the discharge using a
map of the storm sewer system, visual and aural clues, and GPS
locators to determine the direction and distance to the source, and
then confirm the source by tracking the discharge to the point of
origin.
7.3.4.3. Procedures for removing the source ofan illicit discharge —Where a
responsible party can be identified, they will be asked to remove the
source and clean-up any remaining material from the discharge. If
® they fail to remove or eliminate the source or fail to clean-up the
discharge, then the City will take action and attempt to collect their
costs from the responsible party at a later date. The City will ensure
that a licensed company is used to remove or dispose of any
hazardous or contaminated material that falls within the City's area
of responsibility.
7.3.4.4. Procedures for evaluating the plan to detect and eliminate illicit
discharges —the Illicit Connection and illegal Discharge program is
evaluated annually as a part of the Stormwater Management Program
Assessment and a report is submitted to the State each October under
the Neuse NSW Management Program.
7.3.5. Non-Stormwater Discharges —There are no non-stormwater discharges
that have been identified as significant contributors of pollutants to the
City's MS4.
7.3.6. Incidental Non-Stormwater Discharges —There are no local controls
established on incidental non-stormwater discharges.
7.3.7. Outreach —Selected City staff are trained annually on illegal discharges
and illicit connections. Periodically the City sends a letter to selected
commercial and industrial activities about the issue of illegal discharges.
The City's website has information for the public on the Illegal Discharge
hotline and how to contact the City to report a problem. Users of the
City's solid waste disposal services receive a brochure warning them of
improper disposal of waste material. The staff training is noted in the
Education Action plan, and the outreach activities are part of the CWEP's
1�1
0
radio and television advertising. As part of the pollution
prevention/housekeeping measure, annually training is given to select city
staff, and this training includes a discussion on prevention of illegal
discharges and actions to take should an accident result in an illegal
discharge.
7.3.8. Staff Training —Staff training; is conducted annually for City staff who are
in contact with the public and who are in a position to report illegal
discharges and illicit connections. This staff training is also part of the
Education Action Plan.
7.3.9. Evaluation —The Illegal/Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
Program is evaluated annually during the Stormwater Management
Assessment and a report is submitted to the State in October as part of the
Neuse River Basin NSW Management Strategy.
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.
7.5. Post -Construction Stormwater Management in New Development and
Redevelopment
7.5.1. Regulatory Mechanism: Management of post -construction runoff from
new development and redevelopment falls under the UDO (Section 6
Stormwater Management for New Development amended to add the
requirement for a Stormwater Management Permit)
7.5.2. Operation and Maintenance: The Stormwater Management Permit (SWM
Permit) is required as part of the UDO. The SWM Permit consists of
Stormwater Management Plan, covenants and deed restrictions, and a
Maintenance Agreement. In addition, the City has a program to inspect all
BMPs for proper operation and maintenance once a year and has in place a
legal framework to correct any problems noted during the inspection.
7.5.3. Prevent or minimize water quality impacts from new development and
redevelopment projects: The City has a Stormwater Management
Program in place under the Neuse River Basin NSW Urban Stormwater
Program to minimize water quality impacts.
7.5.4. Program controls, to the maximum extent practicable, for the sources of
fecal coliform: The City does not allow on -site wastewater treatment
facilities within its jurisdiction. Those properties that are incorporated
into the city are required to connect to the existing, sanitary sewer system.
Agreements are in place for Wayne County Health Department to inspect
and monitor existing; on -site wastewater treatment systems until they are
connected to the City's sanitary sewer system.
12
7.5.5. Trout Jr) waters: Not applicable; the City has no Trout Waters within its
jurisdiction
7.5.6. Nutrient Sensitive waters and Nutrient Application (both inorganic
fertilizer and organic nutrients) Management Program: The City has a
Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) that meets the requirements
of the Neuse River Basin NSW Urban Stormwater Program. As
proscribed in the UDO, the City does not allow the application of fertilizer
in riparian buffers and encourages conformance to fertilizer application
standards established by the NC Cooperative Extension Service. The City
enforces state and federal law on the use of nutrient applications.
7.5.7. Non-structural BMPs:
7.5.7.1. The City relies upon the UDO to provide requirements and set
standards to direct growth. The UDO includes landscaping
requirements as well as stormwater management requirements for
development and redevelopment. The City requires all projects in the
City to comply with the Neuse River Basin NSW Riparian Buffer rules.
7.5.7.2. The UDO encourages infill development through a number of
measures, without compromising water quality.
7.5.7.3. The City conducts periodic training sessions (at least once every two
years) for developers and engineers specifically oriented on complying
with the Neuse River Basin NSW Management Strategy. This training
covers BMPs used to reduce water quality impacts to local surface
• water bodies and the City's Stormwater Permit Ordinance.
7.5.7.4. The Stormwater Permit (a part of the UDO) required by the City
codifies the requirements for deed restrictions and covenants to protect
BMPs and water quality structures; and requires a maintenance plan for
each BMP or structure.
7.5.8. Structural BMPs: The City requires developers to comply with the NC
DENR BMP manual in the design of their projects. Structural BMPs are
subject to annual inspection by the City.
7.5.9. Natural Resource Protection:
7.5.9.1. Natural resource areas and critical habitat protection: 'There are no
natural resource areas or critical habitat areas within the City's
jurisdiction other than the buffer zones around the Neuse River and its
tributaries. The City enforces the Neuse River Basin NSW Riparian
Buffer zone regulations
7.5.9.2. Buffer zones: The City enforces the Neuse River Basin NSW
Riparian Buffer zone regulations. The City also uses "buffer yards" to
provide a physical transition between uses to minimize impacts of one
use on another. These "buffer yards" usually consist of landscape
plantings that are tailored to the transition between land uses.
7.5.9.3. Source water protection: The City enforces the state water
supply/water shed protection and controls development through the
UDO.
7.5,10. Open Space Protection: The UDO sets standards for open space. For most
development this requires the developer to set aside 20% of the entire
13
development for open space and to accurately show this on site plans.
Open space is further identified as active or passive use, but cannot consist
of fragmented pieces of land that serve no useful purpose. Ownership by a
legally established community corporations or conveyance to the City is
proscribed to ensure the continued use of such land for its intended
purpose.
7.5.11. Tree Preservation:
7.5.11.1. Protect and maintain trees: A landscape plan must be submitted
with site plans to the City. Specific requirements for trees and other
vegetation are listed in the UDO. 'hrees are required on all vehicular
surface areas (VSA) and standards for size, placement, and number of
trees are proscribed in the UDO. Trees are encouraged, but not
required, to be included in street yards, which are the portion of the
development that abuts a public or private street; grass or a ground
cover is required.
7.5.11.2, Private property: The UDO specifically proscribes tree
preservation requirements for developments and City projects A tree
preservation plan can be submitted as part of the required landscaping
plan, and the City encourages maximum use of existing vegetation.
The UDO also provides for removal and replacement of dead,
substandard and unhealthy plant material by owners of private
property.
7.5.11.3. Use on capital improvement projects: The City follows all
• portions of the UDO, including the placement of trees within the street
yard areas.
7.5.12. Redevelopment: There are no specific incentives to direct development to
previous developed area. The zoning regulations (part of the UDO)
encourage growth within areas having similar development. The
Stormwater Management Program rules encourage redevelopment by
insuring redevelopment projects are fairly considered as far as peak runoff
and nutrient discharge are calculated.
7.5.13. Development in Areas with Existing Infrastructure: The zoning
regulations (UDO) encourage development in areas with existing
infrastructure.
7.5.14. Mixed Use Development: Mixed land use is allowed under certain limited
circumstances through zoning districts including, but not limited to,
Office -Residential (O-R), Office and Institutional 1 (0&I1), and
Neighborhood Business (NB).
7.5.15. Street Design:
7.5.15.1. Street Design Standards: The UDO sets street design standards
(and street widths) in accordance with the street function, so that streets
are no wider than necessary to move traffic. The width varies from 22-
feet for a rural access road (I I -foot travel lanes) to 31-feet for a
residential access road (to allow for street parking) to four 1246ot lanes
on major thoroughfares.
•
14
7.5.15.2. Driveways and Parking Areas: The City does not have measures
in the UDO specifically directed at restricting driveways and parking;
areas. However, the City provides for on -street parking; in residential
areas, and effectively limits the size of parking areas through its
landscaping, screening, and buffering requirements for vehicular
surface area design standards.
7.5.16. Green Infrastructure Elements and Street Design:
7.5.16.1. Green infrastructure practices: The City does not require the
integration of green infrastructure practices as a standard part of
construction, maintenance and improvement plans. Certain design
standards for road construction encourage the use of green practices,
such as the City Council may allow the installation of swales with
minimal slopes for minor non -entrance roads within residential
subdivisions as opposed to curb and gutter construction.
7.5.16.2. Promote Pervious Materials: The use of permeable pavement is
covered in the technical workshops for local developers and engineers.
Permeable pavement is encouraged for parking areas, driveways, and
other hard surfaces that are not traveled roadways. Permeable
pavement is taken into consideration \when calculating; peak runoff and
nutrient discharge and credit is given for its pervious characteristics.
7.5.17. Reduced Parking Requirements: Shared parking is allowed under the
UDO. Parking area can also be reduced based on mixed use on the same
parcel. Building more parking space than allowed by the UDO requires
. the approval of the City's Planning Director. The Central Business
District (CBD) is exempt from the requirements for off-street parking
which protects the character of the downtown district and reduces the
construction of off-street parking.
7.5.18. Transportation Demand Management Alternatives: The City does not have
a process to allow alternative transportation demand management
measures or in -lieu payments for parking areas.
7.5.19. Minimizing; Stormwater from Parking Lots: The UDO proscribes
landscaping requirements for vehicular surface areas (VSAs—which
include parking lots). VSAs must have shade trees, landscaping islands
and/or medians with groundcover, and other vegetation that is distributed
throughout the VSA. The more impervious surface of the lot, the greater
the landscaping requirements.
7.5.20. Green Infrastructure Practices:
7.520.1. Legal and/or preferred use: The UDO encourages certain practices
that may be described as green, but does not prefer their use over other
practices. One of these is the Cluster Development or Residential PUD
Option, which allows homes on lots that are smaller than permitted
under general use; however the saved land is retained as commonly
held open space to protect natural resources or extend stream buffers.
7.5.20.2. Impediments to use: There are no impediments to the use of green
infrastructure practices within the City. All infrastructure practices are
15
subject to the UDO, but there are no limits on use of infiltration
structures, permeable pavements, or similar BMPs in the ordinances.
7.5.20.3. Stormwater Management Plan Reviews. The UDO encourages
developers to obtain a pre -submittal review of site plans, and the City
has a process to ensure that city staff meets with the developer to
review documents. During the technical workshops the City holds for
developers and engineers, City staff discuss the submittal and review
process, and encourage developers and engineers to schedule
stormwater management plan reviews early in the planning process.
7.5.20.4. Non -potable use of stormwater: The City does not have a process
to encourage non -potable use of harvested rainwater. The City does
not regulate the use of rain barrels, and allows their use during a water
supply emergency or during a period of restricted water use.
7.5.20.5. Practices in -lieu of stormwater requirements: The City complies
with the Neuse River Basin NSW Management Strategy and uses the
nutrient buy -down process for developers to pay into a wetlands bank
to offset nutrient loading in lieu of constructing structural BMPs for
Stormwater runoff.
7.5.21. Maintenance/Enforcement: The City of Goldsboro inspects BMPs on an
annual basis, and the inspection is performed by the City Engineering;
Department. The City charges an annual fee of $100.00 for each BMP
inspected. If a problem is noted, the UDO provides for the property owner
. to correct or rectify the failing BMP. If the property owner fails to correct
the problem, the City has the legal authority to fix the BMP and seek
repayment from the property owner.
7.5.22. Green Infrastructure Strategies: The City continuously reviews its
development processes and strategies and seeks improvement. The UDO
is flexible enough to accommodate evolving green infrastructure practices
in the short and medium term. Long term strategies for revising local
policies will be need to be identified as the UDO undergoes refinement.
7.5.23. Evaluation--Post-construction Stormwater Management in New
Development and Redevelopment is evaluated annually during the
Stormwater Management Program Assessment and a report is submitted to
the State in October as part of the Neuse River Basin NSW Management
Strategy.

7.6.2. "Training; —The City conducts two workshops for City employees on
stormwater management. The City staff is targeted in the Public
Education Action Plan to receive information on Pollution and Pollutants,
and Illegal Discharges. This training is provided annually. The Pollution
and Pollutants training; is part of the public information measure, but
specifically targeted at city staff who conduct activities that may impact
water quality. The Illicit Connecti on/I I legal Discharge training; is targeted
at city staff who are in contact with the public and who may be in a
position to observe or discover illicit connections or illegal discharges.
7.6.3. Maintenance and Inspections --The City has mapped all outfalls, and
during that mapping the City checked for illicit connections and illegal
discharges. The City maintains a hotline for citizens to report incidences
of illegal discharges. The City has a program to sweep streets and parking;
lots quarterly. The City picks up yard debris on both a regular basis and
when called. Both the Central Maintenance Complex and the Biosolids
Facility are subject to weekly, monthly, and semi-annual inspections for
pollutants as a part of the their NPDES permits (SWPPP).
7.6.4. Vehicular Operations— In regard to vehicle operations, the Public Works
Department is responsible for facility and vehicle maintenance for the City
of Goldsboro. The Public Works Department operates under standard
procedures that include the control of pollutants and the clean-up of any
spills of pollutants. The Central Maintenance Complex has a General
Industrial Stormwater Discharge Permit and a Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan to control the stormwater discharges from the Complex.
The City has two general public parking lots that are swept quarterly to
reduce the amount of pollutants that may discharge from those lots.
7.6.5. Waste Disposal —Municipal waste is disposed of in accordance with
current laws and regulations. The City maintains a Transfer Point where
trash and debris is accumulated before being shipped off site. Sludge and

1. STORM SEWER SYSTEM INFORMATION
1.1. 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 ATo (-.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.
1.4. 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%

City of Goldsboro created a Stakeholders Committee in July 2000 to
help develop their Stormwater Management Program (SWMP). The
' Stakeholders Committee consisted of citizens from key sectors of the
community, to include business leaders, developers, environmental
groups, and the military. The City was also represented on the
Committee. The Committee held several meetings, provided input to
the development of the SWMP, and reviewed the draft Program
before it was submitted to the State for approval
1 7.2.3.2. Public Hearings —Goldsboro developed two ordinances for

Services Department.
7.3,10. Evaluation ---The Illegal/Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
Program is evaluated annually and a report is submitted to the State in
October.
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
�7
achieve an average of 85% annual removal for Total Suspended Solids
(TSS) because the SWMP requires BMWs 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

I able 1. I List of Departments and (JT)erations Impacted by Uty U&M
General Services The Cemetery Division is responsible for
maintaining the two City cemeteries,
Elmwood and Willowdale. The Building
and Traffic Maintenance Division installs
and maintains traffic signals, signs, and street
markers. The Streets and Storm Sewer
Maintenance Division repairs and maintains
11
149 miles of paved and 5 miles of unpaved
city streets and drainage facilities. The
Utility Maintenance Division is responsible
for the installation and maintenance of water
and sanitary sewer mains. The Sanitation
Division's major responsibilities are the
collection of refuse, recycling products and
vegetative yard debris. The Garage
Division is responsible for the maintenance
and upkeep of over 500 City and County
vehicles.
Public Utilities The Water Treatment Plant has a current
treatment capacity of 12 million gallons per
day. The Water Reclamation Facility
currently treats wastewater using a biological
process to remove pollutants from the water.
It has a current treatment capacity of 10.8
million gallons per day (MGD). An upgrade
project will be finished in 2003 which will
increase treatment capacity to 14.2 MGD. A
Biosolids Composting Facility takes the
biosolids from the treatment process and mix
it with chipped yard waste to produce
compost that can be used in horticultural
applications. Forty acres of Constructed
Wetlands provides further "polishing" of
one million gallons of treated wastewater per
day before the water is discharged back into
the Neuse River.
Parks and Recreation I The Goldsboro Recreation and Parks
Department operates and maintains I 1 parks,
three recreation centers, an 18-hole golf
course, and the Paramount Theater,
Engineering The Engineering Department provides
engineering and surveying services necessary
for the design and construction of streets,
sidewalks, storm drainage lines, water lines,
and sanitary sewer lines.
Engineering provides inspection services for
construction of streets, storm drainage lines,
water lines, and sanitary sewer lines within
public rights -of -way and new subdivisions to
assure conformance with City standards.

Stormwater
Management Program
For Nitrogen Control In
The Neuse River Basin
1 1. Introduction
Introduction
1.1 Neuse River Basin Nutrient Sensitive Waters 1NSW1 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 213 .0233) to maintain their existing nitrogen
' removal capabilities.
The Neuse Stormwater Rule (15A NCAC 213 .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
Nitrogen Control in the Neuse River Basin. It closely follows the guidance provided in
the Nurse River Basin: Model Stonnwater Program for Nitrogen Control dated August
30, 1999. The implementation dates listed above differ from those listed in the model
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

local stormwater management program plans to the Commission for review and

1.2 Gol9sboro'sStormwater ManagementProgram
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 It 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 It 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
Locations. Public Education and Public Involvement are discussed in Section 5.0.
Section 6.0 discusses the Phase It requirements for Pollution Prevention/Good
Housekeeping. Section 7.0 details the annual Evaluation and Reporting requirements.

' The implementation of this Stormwater Management Program for Nitrogen Control
will be the responsibility of the City Manager. Oversight will be provided by an
internal Steering Committee, comprised of representatives from the following
1 departments: Manager's Office, General Services, Planning, Community Affairs,
Engineering, Finance, and Recreation and Parks. This Steering Committee, in
' conjunction with the City Manager, assigned responsibilities for program
implementation, considered staffing and budgetary requirements, identified obstacles
to implementation, and developed strategies to remove obstacles and/or provide
' incentives for program participation. Meetings will be held on a quarterly basis to
review the implementation of the program and to address any new issues which may
arise.

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 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 II 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 (lbs/ac/yr) 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 $33011b/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 Ibslac/yr, and no new nonresidential development will
be permitted to exceed 10.0 Ibslac/yr.
The nitrogen export standard of 3.6 Ibslac/yr 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

required BMPs have been constructed properly). Development '
1. Method I 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 tots, buildings, and any other built -upon
'
area is shown on the site plans. Figure 2.2 contains the worksheet for this
calculation.
'
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
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 1
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)
cnonuWS&WVsWwaba1j"oocun ftT-09=bomwhWISWMPOevaedSWMFWM0o %SMPReportabc
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
% = peak runoff, cfs
' A = drainage area, acres
c = runoff coefficient, dimensionless
i = rainfall intensity, inchesthour
' 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 Hyclrology for Stormwater Management (1997),
typical design values for runoff coefficients are 0.90 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.

The Neuse 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 Cade 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

- an Authorization Certificate and approval on a mitigation plan for a use
' designated as Allowable with Mitigation, or
- a variance.
1 As part of this Stormwater Management Program, Goldsboro will record riparian areas
to be protected on new or modified plats.
' 2.2 Best Management Practices tBMPs)
' 2.2.1 Choosing BMPs
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 BMP(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

2.2.2 tong -Term Maintenance Plan for l3MPs
Program Plan for New
' The Inspection Department will conduct annual inspections of all BMPs as part of their Development
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
t 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.
' 2.3 Local Ordinance Review of Land -Ilse Planning and Resign Technlaues
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.

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.

1 2.5 EPA's Phase II Stormwater Requirements
' EPA's Phase II Stormwater Rule contains two minimum control measures which fall
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 IT requirements for
development controls are addressed through this Program Plan. However,
modifications have been incorporated into this SWMP to comply with the Phase I1
program in the future.
2.5.1 Construction Site Runoff Control
u
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.

3.1 EstabllshingLegal AuthofttoControl lnegalDischarges Discharges
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.
31 Collecting Jurisdiction-VAds Information
The City will collect geographic information at three increasing levels of detail:
• First, most cursory level of information shall be collected for the entire
jurisdiction.
• Second level is a more detailed screening for high priority areas within the
jurisdiction.

3.3 Mapping and Field Screening In High Prioft Areas
As part of the October 2002 annual report, the Engineering Department will identify a
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 II 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 fD 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
illustrated in Figure 3. I, will be followed.

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/1-

3A Idenifltdng and RemoWng Illegal Olscharges
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.

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 Preventing Discharges and Establishing 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
letter (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 H Stormwater rule based upon NCDENR's instructions for the Phase H Discharges
Stormwater Permit. The Phase H 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 1:24,000
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 11 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 H 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 11 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 H components, and required only minimal changes to comply
with Phase Il Stormwater requirements.

4. Retrofit locations
Retrofit Locations
U Annual RetP MACtlnnS
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
' loading 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.
' 41 Data CotlecUan and Rotlncatlon

5. Public Education and Public Involvement
5.1 Public Education 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 BM13 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 1
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 Committee, 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
I
QV)nc "aid SWMP InW Doc SMP PkPoM*c 55-2

Stormwater
Management Program
For Nitrogen Control In
The Meuse Rarer Basin
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,

' the elderly, the handicapped, the business community, and civic groups who are
concerned about community development. At least two members from each Public Education and
' community development area must be included. This committee, or one structured Public Involvement
like it, could be used to play an active role in educating the general public on
stormwater related issues.
t• 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 Plan.
5.2 tncorporatlng Bdsting Resources and Programs
' Community teaming is encouraged in the Stor nwater 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 I and 2 activities: If effective major media advertising is not
employed, it may prove easiest and most cost efficient to conduct planned
' activities together.

• Workshops: The two technical workshops that must be conducted during the
first year (one to educate local government officials and staff, and the other for Public Education and
the development community) could be sponsored jointly, thereby reducing Public Involvement
costs and duplication of efforts.
5.3 Effs Phase II stomrMer Requiremems
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 11
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 ll efforts, and will be expanded and/or tailored'on an
annual basis.

1 Another component of the Phase II 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

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.

5.
The net change in nitrogen loading for the year. This would be (Item 3 - Item

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.

EPA Phase II Measurable
The City of Goldsboro has designed their Stormwater Management Program to: Goals
a Reduce the discharge of pollutants to the "maximum extent practicable"
• Protect water quality; and
0 Satisfy the appropriate water quality requirements of the Clean Water Act.
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.

§ 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

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,
(13) 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):
I �

J
StormwaterOrd.doc -2/8- 25 February 2003
(1) Method 1 is intended for residential developments where lots are 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 Ibs/ac/yr, and no new nonresidential development will
be permitted to exceed 10.0 lbs/aclyr.
(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.

(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
I �

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 2B .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 (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
(2) The property owner had received approval by DWQ. DWQ approval could
be:
(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)

(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% 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%.

§ 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 it
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 Goldsboro 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 (FHBM) "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 welfare.
(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 - 2120- 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:
1
a
1
I
lil
(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;
(C) Control the alteration of natural floodplams, 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
(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

§ 156.01 SHORT TITLE.
This chapter shall be known as the "Illegal Discharge Control Ordinance," but may
' ] IlegaIDisehargeOrd.doc 1/9-
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.
Despite 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 (MS4)
discharge permit issued by the state; and
I [legal Di schargeOrd.doc - 2/9- 25 February 2003

(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,
0 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.
a Illicit discharges include any discharge other than stormwater to the storm drain system, except for the
activities listed below (provided they do not significantly impact water quality).
i
B(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;
n (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 [includingthe collection or pumping of springs, wells, or rising
ground water and ground water generated by well construction or other construction activities];
(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 firefighting;
(13) Discharges from the pumping or draining of natural watercourses or waterbodies;
(14) Flushing and cleaning of stormwater conveyances with unmodified potable water;
I
(15) Wash water from the cleaning of the exterior of buildings, including gutters, provided that the
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. 1
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
I
Goldsboro, in complying with the requirements of The Neuse Stormwater Rule (15A NCAC 213
.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 tykes 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 I 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, 200.1 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 II 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:
I
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
mail 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 1 Activities:
I �
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 Department already has the following information on their web page under the
Water Treatment Plant section:
Following 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 Ieaks 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/InstitutionaVGovemment Leaders.
Anticipated Cost for Web Page Enhancements: $ 250
(cost for web -page developer)
The second proposed Category 1 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
8 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
B limits to Stoney Creek), and Richland's Creek (from eastern city limits to Stoney Creek), can also
provide recommendations for stream segments wwhich could most benefit from being incorporated
into the "Adopt -a -Stream" program.
Targeted Audience: General Public, specifically 9'" to 12`r grade children and
young adults.
Anticipated Cost for "Adopt -'a -Stream" program: $ 200
(cost of "Adopt -a -Stream" Iigns and garbage bags)
Anticipated Cost for Stream Stenciling program: $ 250
(cost of spray paint and templates)
a
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.
t
Targeted Audience: Everyone who reads a newspaper, which should include
portions of all target audiences.
tAnticipated Cost for Quarterly Newspaper Articles: $ 0
ICategory 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.
�
Ile
These same flyers will be posted or made availabat 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 1 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/Institutional/Govemment Leaders, General Public, and
