Page 3 SWU-264 June 17, 2015 NARRATIVE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM FOR THE CITY OF GOLDS13OR0 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. 4. Land Use Composition Estimates Residential 47% Commercial 12%a Industrial 14% Open Space 27% 5. Receiving Streams (See Table 1) 6. TMDL Identification The MS4 discharges into the Neuse River, which is under a TMDL for nitrogen. There is no Waste Load Allocation (WLA) for Urban Stormwater Runoff. 7.

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 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 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 connections and illegal discharges.

City staff undergoes training in identifying and report illegal discharges and illicit connections. 15.4 Detection and Elimination. 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.

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 27% 1.6. TMDL Identification The MS4 discharges into the Neuse River, which is under a TMDL for nitrogen. 0 2.

Government. OItG = Civic Organizations and Environmental Groups, 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.

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% Industrial 14% Open Space 27% L6, Estimate Methodology These percentages were based on the proposed Land Use Plan, Figure 3.2, in the City of Goldsboro's Comprehensive Plan for June 2000. 1.7. TMDL Identification The MS4 discharges into the Neuse River, which is under a TMDL for nitrogen. 1 2.

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 the City Engineering Department. The City will charge an annual fee of ' $100.00 for each BMP inspected (See City'Code, Chapter 96.03(c)). 7.5.3. The City of Goldsboro will develop, in the first year of the NPDES Permit and in coordination with the local county health department, an oversight ' program for the proper operation of on -site wastewater. treatment systems for domestic wastewater. Residents within the City boundaries are required to hook up to the sanitary treatment system as soon as possible. ' Chapter 53.17(C) of the City of Goldsboro Code of Ordinances is quoted: "Every person owning a house, apartment house, storehouse, restaurant or any building inside the city limits used for sleeping quarters ror any building where any persons are employed, which building abuts or adjoins a street or alley along which there is public water or sewer, shall, within 30 days from the date of legal notice served by the City Plumbing ' Inspector or other authorized deputy, have sewer and water connections made to the building or house.

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 C}Doaa is and SanlrgslwsabataWy SWMPF.,W Do \SMP F pando 1 -1 City of Goldsboro Stormwater Management Program For Nitrogen Control In The Neuse River Basin local stormwater management program plans to the Commission for review and approval, and 18 months before the programs must be implemented. Introduction 1.2 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. 0 1 J MDmwr mi4 and Settings%mabataWy Doc+nnentsnoldsbo*\PMseIISWMPTWA,ed SWMPFIml 0om%SMP knpod.doc 1-2 1 City of Goldshoro Stormwater Management Program ' For Nitrogen Control In The Meuse River Basin 1 1.2.3 Responsibilities ' 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. I Introduction CAD « ew -d se,w12M—Mt."

Program Plan for New Development ' Program Plan for New 2.1 ControlUag N1 rogen Through the New Development Bevlew/Approval Pwcess Development ' Section 32.088 of Goldsboro's Code of Ordinances states that no new or redevelopment project may proceed before all permits are secured, which requires that the site plan be ' submitted to and approved by the Planning and Engineering Departments of the city. It will be during this established development review process that the City will review the Neuse Stormwater Rule components of any project falling under the "New ' Development" definition. Appendix A contains "An Ordinance to Implement Stormwater Management Regulations for New Development" to establish the authority to require compliance with the Program Plan for New Development within the City proper ' and its ETJ, as detailed in this section. The developer or builder will be required to comply with these provisions for any new development which falls under either of the following definitions: ' • Any activity that disturbs greater than one acre of land in order to establish, expand, or modify a single family or duplex residential development or a ' recreational facility. [Land disturbance is defined as grubbing, stump removal, and/or grading.] ' • Any activity that disturbs greater than one-half an acre of land in order to establish, expand, or modify a multifamily residential development or a commercial, industrial, or institutional facility. ' To fund this additional new development review process, the City Council may set a fee ' structure for the cost of reviewing all Building Permit applications for compliance with the ordinance. All such projects will be required to meet the goal of a 30 percent nitrogen reduction by implementation of planning considerations and best management practices (BMPs). Agriculture, mining, or forest activities, and property owners with vested rights are not subject to the requirements of new development and will receive a waiver. Vested rights must be demonstrated by the property owner as of the effective date of this Stormwater Management Program (as adopted by the City Council) and may be based on at least one of the following: substantial expenditures of resources as determined by the Engineering Department (time, labor, money) based on a good faith reliance upon having received a valid local government approval to proceed with the project, or CtiD—enls and Seningslmahataft DocunenfarCMsbamSPF yeIISW MRRwiud SW MpF1inl DocASMP Rapw &c 2-1 1 I I I 1 1 City of Goldsboro Stormwater Management Program For Nitrogen Control In The Neuse River Basin • having an outstanding valid building permit in compliance with G.S. 153A- 344.1 or G.S. 160A-385.1, or Program Plan for Now Development • having an approved site specific or phased development plan in compliance with G.S. 153A-344.1 or G.S. 160A-385.1. Projects that require a state permit, such as landfills, NPDES wastewater discharges, land application of residuals and road construction activities shall be considered to have vested rights if a state permit was issued prior to the effective data of this Local Stormwater Management Program. Currently, Recreation and Parks projects for the City do not require permits. To ensure that all such projects comply with the provisions of the Neuse Stormwater Rule, and eventually EPA's Phase 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).

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. City of Goldsboro Stormwater Management Program For Nitrogen Control In The Nense River Basin Program Plan for New Development I CADoc—ft and SaM gAwsabafa" Docwwft l3oWsbm"iaaa6SW MPBwWd SWMMnd DocAWP P^p Ldoc 2-4 City of Goldsboro Stormwater Management Program For Nitrogen Control In 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.

Development The City of Goldsboro will refrain from issuing local approvals for any new ' development activity that is proposed to take place within the first 50 feet adjacent to an affected water body, unless: ' a. the person requesting the approval does not propose to impact the riparian buffer of a surface water indicated on the NRCS or USGS maps listed above, ' or b. the property owner has received approval by DWQ. DWQ approval could be: ' - an on -site determination from DWQ that surface waters are not present, - an Authorization Certificate for a use designated as Allowable, - an Authorization Certificate and approval on a mitigation plan for a use ' designated as Allowable with Mitigation, or - a variance. 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 1 C kao w is and Senwgilwaebeta" Doc+mwftZa 3bmuV1h A1SWMFNPW M SWMRnrW Do \SMP Rapon dw 2-6 1 Clty of Goldsboro Stormwater ' Management program For Nitrogen Control In The Neuse River Basin ' development plans from the onset (reducing road widths, reducing minimum parking ' requirements, minimizing use of curb and gutter, allowing cluster or open -space Program Plan for New developments, allowing traditional neighborhood developments, and others). If they Development do not choose to incorporate these practices, or if BMPs are still required, information ' sources may be provided on the various BMPs available for nitrogen reduction, their individual effectiveness and cost, as well as data on which methods work best for the ' area's soil type(s). If more than one BMP is installed in series on a development, then the removal rate shall be determined through serial rather than additive calculations. As research and development in this field progresses, information sources on new ' BMP techniques or improvements in established BMW techniques may also be disseminated as part of the Public Education Action Plan. The BMPs which may currently be utilized for reducing nitrogen from new developments are listed below. The estimated total nitrogen removal rate for each BMP is included in parenthesis. ' • Wet detention ponds (25%) ' • Constructed wetlands (40%) • Open channel practices (30%) ' • Riparian buffers (30%) ' • Bioretention (25%) • Vegetated filter strips with level spreader (20%) ' • Sand filters (35%) , • Proprietary BMPs (varies) If builder developer 1 a or includes one or more BMWs as part of the site design, they will be required to provide an engineering certification of the design at the time they submit their Building Permit application. Prior to issuance of a Certificate of ' Occupancy, the builder or developer will be required to submit an engineering certification that the BMP was constructed as designed and is operating properly.

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.

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.

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.

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. c som wft -,a D—.� ,oi isbmTns&wsswMru&,bW swmP�F.w ooa%smp R pw.d. 3-1 City of Goldsboro Stormwater Management Program For Nitrogen Control In The Meuse River Basin Program Plan for Illegal Table 3.11 Discharges that May be Allowable to the Stormwater Collection Discharges System Waterline Flushing Landscape Irrigation Diverted Stream Flows Uncontaminated Rising Uncontaminated Ground Uncontaminated Pumped Ground Water Water Infiltration to Ground Water Stormwater Collection System Discharges from Potable Foundation Drains Uncontaminated Air Water Sources Conditioning Condensation Irrigation Water Springs Water from Crawl Space Pumps Footing Drains Lawn Watering Non-commercial Car Washing Flows from Riparian Habitats NPDES Permitted Discharges Street Wash Water and Wetlands Fire Fighting Emergency Wash Water from the Dechlorinated Backwash and Activities Cleaning of Buildings Draining Associated with Swimming Pools Table 3.2 Types of Discharges that are not Allowed to the Stormwater Collection System Dumping of Oil, Anti -freeze, Commercial Car Wash Industrial Discharges Paint, Cleaning Fluids Contaminated Foundation Cooling Water Unless No Washwaters from Commercial/ Drains Chemicals Added and Has Industrial Activities NPDES Permit Sanitary Sewer Discharges Septic Tank Discharges Washing Machine Discharges Chlorinated Backwash and Draining Associated with Swimming Pools • Third level is a very detailed investigation that shall be done upon the discovery of an illegal discharge.

The CADomti ft"Sawng—abataWySWMRHrW D=ASMP P W.Wc 3-2 I Engineering Department will be responsible for collecting and mapping the jurisdiction -wide information which will be compiled at a scale no greater than 1:24,000 to show the following: • Location of sanitary sewers in areas of the major stormwater collection systems and the location of areas that are not served by sanitary sewers. • Waters that appear on the NRCS Soil Survey Maps and the USGS 1:24,000 scale topographic maps. • Land uses. Categories, at a minimum, should include undeveloped, residential, commercial, agriculture, industrial, institutional, publicly owned open space, and others. • Currently operating and known closed municipal landfills and other treatment, storage, and disposal facilities, including for hazardous materials. • Major stormwater structural controls, to include major stormwater outfalls and identification of their receiving waters (as required by Phase II). • Known NPDES permitted discharges to the stormwater collection system (this list can be obtained from DWQ). Written descriptions will be provided for map components as follows: • A summary table of municipal waste facilities that includes the names of the facilities, the status (open/closed), the types, and addresses. • A summary table of the NPDES permitted dischargers that includes the name of the permit holder, the address of the facility and permit number. • A summary table of the major structural stormwater control structures that shows the type of structure, area served, party responsible for maintaining, and age of structure. • A summary table of publicly owned open space that identifies size, location, and primary function of each open 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 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- - Table 3.3 Field Screening Report Information City of Goldsboro Stormwater Management Program For Nitrogen Control In The Neuse River Basin Program Plan for Illegal Discharges General Information Sheet Number Outfall ID Number Date Time Date, Time and Quantity of Last Rainfall Event Field Site Description Location Type of Outfall Dominant Watershed Land Use(s) Visual Observations Photograph Deposits/Stains Odor Vegetation Condition Color Structural Condition Clarity Biological Floatables Flow Estimation Sampling Analysis * Temperature Nitrogen-Nitrate/Nitrite PH Fluoride or Chlorine Nitro en -Ammonia * Analytical monitoring is required only if an obvious source of the dry weather flow cannot be determined through an investigation of the upstream storrnwater collection system. 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.

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.

Discharges City personnel will be trained in how to conduct a thorough field screening, how to review the field screening results in conjunction with the jurisdiction -wide information collected previously, and how to plan an effective field investigation to identify the source of an illegal discharge. The training of City personnel to undertake the process of investigating and identifying illegal discharges will be multi -phased. Training materials (pamphlets, flyers, and/or booklets) will be disseminated to all involved personnel as part of Goldsboro's Public Education Action Plan (Section 5.0). It is anticipated that most (if not all) of these materials can be obtained from agencies such as DWQ and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In addition, the written training materials may be accompanied by seminars and hands-on field training. The General Services Department will be responsible for coordinating personnel training and for scheduling all illegal discharge activities. 3.5 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. 1 1 u G: Documents and Setlmgslmabalaft Donn J3\Go1d3b0m\Raaa1tSWMP%P"ised SW MP irW D"%SMP P pM doc 3" r Table 3.4 Phased Implementation Schedule for Illegal Discharge Activities Year Implementation Requirements Annual Report requirements By March 9, • Establish legal authority to 0 Submit report identifying 2001 address illegal discharges. established legal authority to meet requirements.

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. 1 I R1Do� and SWrgsiwsabaWAy 0oci+�36ao1P1 JSWMRRWkwd SWMP�FwW Docs1SMP n pawoe .3-9 Cily of Goldsboro 5tormwater Management Program For Nitrogen Control In The Neuse River Basin 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 Each retrofit opportunity that is identified will be accompanied by information to ' describe the location of the retrofit, the type of retrofit being proposed, the property 1 C Docunmm and Samnomabalaft Docum M(3o1da6o.Th- a 1SWMHRwkad SWMPn-I D cs%SMP R-Mm.doc H1 owner, as well as basic information about the watershed and the receiving water.

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.

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 City of Goldsboro 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, 1 DiDecrx is and SeMr9Mwaabala" Dace &Tba GoidaboroV'mseIISW MPJie MW SW MP%Rl l Doa SMP Reportdoc 55-3 City of Gold shoro stormwater Management Program ' For Nitrogen Control In The Neuse River Basin ' 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. C.'�Dm.nent+erd Sa WW%w-L.I.W y 5W MPFkn1 DkSMP Rq—i doc 5-4 City of Goldsboro Stormwater Management Program For Nitrogen Control In The Meuse River Basin • 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.

In addition, the program will include ' employee training on how to incorporate pollution prevention good housekeeping techniques into municipal operations. If such components are not already an integral part of Goldsboro's Action Plan by the time this Minimum Control Measure is required by the Phase 11 Rule, these particular education and training initiatives will be incorporated into the SWMP by reference to the Public Education Action Plan.

EPA Phase 11 Measurable Goals 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.

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 a Storm waterOrd.doc - 118- 25 February 2003 I � 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 � I I I I I 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. u� 1 0 1-1 I I StorrnwaterOrd.doc - 3/8- 25 February 2003 11 Nitrogen Export Reduction Options Residential Commercial/Industrial If the computed export is less than 6.0 If the computed export is less than 10.0 Ibs/ac/yr then the owner may either: Ibs/ac/yr, then the owner may either: 1.Install BMPs to remove enough nitrogen 1.Install BMPs to remove enough nitrogen to bring the development down to 3.6 to bring the development down to 3.6 lbslac/yr. lbslac/yr. 2.Pay a one-time offset payment of $330/1b 2.Pay a one-time offset payment of $330/lb to bring the nitrogen down to the 3.6 to bring the nitrogen down to the 3.6 lbs/ac/yr. lbslac/yr. 3.Do a combination of BMPs and offset 3.Do a combination of BMPs and offset payment to achieve a 3.6 lbs/ac/yr export. payment to achieve a 3.6 lbs/ac/yr export. If the computed export is greater than 6.0 If the computed export is greater than 10.0 lbslac/yr, the owner must use on -site lbslac/yr, the owner must use on -site BMPs to bring the development's export down to BMPs to bring the development's export 10.0 lbslac/yr. Then, the owner may use down to 6.0 lbs/aclyr. Then, the owner one of the three options above to achieve the reduction between 10.0 and 3.6 may use one of the three options above to lbs/ac/yr. achieve the reduction between 6.0 and 3.6 lbs/ac/yr. (3) If an offset payment is being made to the Wetlands Restoration Program, the owner must provide the city with evidence that DWQ has received payment prior to the city's issuance of a building permit. (Ord. 2000-95, passed 11-20-00) § 155.03 PEAK RUNOFF CONTROL. (A) There shall be no net increase in peak stormwater runoff flow leaving a new development site from the pre -development conditions for the 1-year, 24-hour storm as determined by calculating the pre- and post -development runoff in accordance with the City of Goldsboro Stormwater Management Program for Nitrogen Control in The Neuse River Basin. (B) The Rational Method is the most common method for computing the peak rate of runoff from small drainage basins (up to 150 acres) and will be used to determine the peak flow from both the pre -development (performed prior to issuance of the building permit) and post -development (performed prior to issuance of the certificate of occupancy) conditions. If peak runoff needs to be calculated for a larger drainage area (more than 150 acres), the peak discharge method as described in the USDA Soil Conservation Service's Technical Release Number 55 (TR-55) will be employed for I � I � StormwaterOrd.doc - 4/8- 25 February 2003 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) BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES § 155.10 ALLOWABLE BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES. (A) The following best management practices may be utilized for nitrogen reduction: Wet detention ponds Constructed wetlands Open channel practices Riparian buffers ' Bioretention Vegetated filter strips with level spreader 1 I StormwaterOrd.doc - 5/8- 25 February 2003 1 Sand filters Proprietary BMPs (B) The total nitrogen (TN) BMP removal rates to be used in calculating nitrogen reductions are provided in the table below. Any state -approved modifications or additions to the list of BMPs available for nitrogen reduction and/or determinations of TN removal rates are adopted by reference. BMP Types, TN Removal Rates and Design Standards BMP Types TN Removal Rate Design Standards Based on Current Literature Studies Wet detention ponds 25% NC and MD Design Manuals Constructed wetlands 40% NC and MD Design Manuals Open channel practices 30% NC and MD Design Manuals Riparian buffers 30% Neuse Riparian Buffer Rule (15A NCAC 2B .0233) Bioretention 25% NC and MD Design Manuals Vegetated filter strips with level 20% NC and MD Design spreader Manuals and other literature information Sand filters 35% NC and MD Design Manuals Proprietary BMPs Varies Per manufacturer subject to DWQ approval (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%. (Ord. 2000-95, passed 11-20-00) § 155.11 MAINTENANCE OF BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES. All best management practices that are implemented to achieve nitrogen reduction and u 11 StormwaterOrd.doc - 618- 25 February 2003 1 flow attenuation will require a maintenance plan. For the purposes of this chapter refer to: (A) Section 96.40, Improperly Operating BMPs (Stormwater Control Facilities) are Prohibited; Responsibility for Maintenance. (B) Section 96.41, Compliance with Provisions. (C) Section 96.42, Inspections and Annual Inspection Fee. (Ord. 2000-95, passed 11-20-00) BUILDING PERMIT, REVIEW FEES, AND ENFORCEMENT § 155.20 BUILDING PERMIT AND BUILDING PERMIT REVIEW FEES. (A) As of the effective date of the adoption of this chapter, any builder applying for a building permit must submit his calculations for nitrogen loading and peak runoff with both the preliminary and final plats. Application for a building permit constitutes 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. (Ord. 2000-95, passed 11-20-00) § 155.21 CRIMINAL PENALTIES. Any person who is found in violation of any provision of this chapter, rule, regulation or order duly adopted or issued pursuant to this chapter shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine not to exceed $500. Each violation shall be a separate offense. (Ord. 2000-95, passed 11-20-00) § 155.22 ORDER TO CORRECT VIOLATION. Upon a determination that such a violation exists, the Director of Inspections or his designee shall notify, in writing, the owner of the premises and shall order the prompt correction thereof. The owner will be allowed 180 days from the receipt of such written notice to comply with the provisions of this chapter.

(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.

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.

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.

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. 3 ' cikk a nsib and a UwgaW balnVny &�t,4 W sbordW dv Uon a Wn plwAgol "ro a draft pWn edu lion actwn plan,dx 1 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. c'do wts and sedings5wsabata" do nonta gokabumo odu Mn action planlgoldsboida dmftpLNc education action plandac 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 a ' 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.

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 Homeowners.
