PART 1 PER-MITTED AC'I'Ivl'l'IES
1. During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (the "University") is authorized to discharge
stormwater associated with property owned by the University to receiving waters, identified in
the permittce's Comprehensive Stormwatcr Management Program Report, within the Cape Fear
River Basin. Such discharge will be controlled, limited and monitored in accordance with the
pennittee's Comprehensive Stormwater Management Program Report, herein -after referred to as
the "Stormwater Plan." The Stormwater Plan must detail the permittee's stormwater
management program for the five-year term of the stormwater pen -nit including, for each of the
measure identified in the permit, a narrative description of the program, a table that identifies
each best management practice (BMP) used, the frequency of the BMP, the measurable goals for
each BMP, the implerentation schedule, and the responsible person or position for
implementation.
2. The majority of' stormwater runoff passing through the University's stone sewer system
discharges to waters of the state. These discharges are primarily associated with property owned
by the University. Systems that contribute to the University's system, or to which the
University's system may discharge, are privately owned and maintained, or owned and operated
by the City, County, State or Federal authorities. Stormwater from the town of'Chapel Hill also
discharges into the University's stromwater sewer system. ' he following list identifies the areas
and provides a brief description of land use covered by this pen -nit. The stone sewer system at
the University and the UNC Hospitals (1-lospital") convey stormwater from six square miles of
University -owned land into several watersheds. The majority of the impervious surface area and
the stormwater conveyance system are located on the main University campus. Dour watersheds
are present on the main University campus including small portions of the Bolin Creek and
Morgan Creek watersheds, the headwaters of the Battle Branch watershed, and the majority of'
the Meetings of the Waters watershed. Most of the runoff from the main campus flows into
Meeting of the Waters Creek.
On the main campus, precipitation falls on green spaces, buildings, athletic facilities, parking
lots, and roads. For the developed areas the water is collected in swales, drain inlets, and
stormwater piping. Water running off campus is carried primarily through stormwater pipes,
eventually emerging into open stream channels before exiting University property.
The University owns property surrounding University Lake that is primarily open space and
wooded. Rainfall in this area flows into the Morgan Creek watershed. This land is mainly
undeveloped, with little impervious surface area.
University property near the Horace Williams Airport is primarily wooded and open space, with
some acreage used for maintenance facilities. This area drains into Booker and Bolin Creeks.
The University's Mason Farm property is comprised of a golf course, the Mason Farm Biological
Reserve, the Botanical Gardens, the Friday Center, and other University buildings. Portions of'
the Mason Farm property are developed with building and parking areas. The Mason Faun
Biological Reserve and Botanical gardens are wooded and undeveloped. Runoff from the Mason
Farm property flows into Morgan Creek.
The University owns land near the Glen Lennox area in Chapel Hill. phis area is open space or
forest and is located within Bolin, Booker, and Little Creek floodplains.
Part I Page 1 of 3

Permit No. NCS000441
The Hospital owns a building and associated parking lot in northern Chapel Hill. This property
is located within the Old Field Creek watershed.
The University owns wooded property and porous pavement parking lot in northern Chatharn
County. Runoff from a small portion of this property flows into the watershed of East branch of
Price Creek, which is in the Morgan Creek (University Lake watershed). Runoff from the
majority of this property flows towards Wilson Creek.
All discharges authorized herein shall be adequately treated and managed in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this permit. Any other paint -source discharge to surface waters of the
state is prohibited unless it is an allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another
permit, authorization, or approval.
4. This permit does not relieve the University from responsibility for compliance with any other
applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree.
S. This permit covers activities associated with the discharge of stormwater from the MS4 within
the jurisdictional area of the pennittee as described in the approved Stormwater Plan to control
potential pollution from the MS4. The permit applies to current and future jurisdictional areas of
the permittee, as well as areas that seek coverage under this permit through inter -local or other
similar agreements with permittee. Agreements for coverage under this permit must be approved
by the Division of Water Quality, herein referred to as the "Division."
6. The Division may deny or revoke coverage under this pen -nit for separate entities and require
independent permit coverage as deemed necessary. In addition, the permittee may petition the
Division to revoke or deny coverage under this permit for specific entities.
Under the authority of Section 402(p) of the Clean Water Act and implementing regulations 40
C.F.R. Parts 122, 123, and 124, North Carolina General Statutes 143-215.1 and Session Law
2006-246 and in accordance with the approved Stormwater Plan, all provisions contained and
referenced in the Storrnwatcr Plan are enforceable parts of this permit. The pennittee will
develop and implement its approved Stormwater Plan in accordance with Section 402(p)(3)(i3) of
the Clean Water Act, provisions outlined by the Director, and the provisions of this pen -nit.
The pen -nit requires the development and proper implementation of the Stormwatcr Management
Plan. The purpose of the Storrnwatcr Management Plan is to reduce the discharge of pollutants
from the MS4 to the maximum extent practicable, to protect water quality, and to satisfy the
applicable water quality requirements of the Clean Water Act. Implementation of best
management practices consistent with the provisions of the Stormwater Management Plan
constitutes compliance with the standard of reducing pollutants to the maximum extent
practicable. Successive iterations of the Stormwater Management Plan and other components of
this permit will be driven by the objective of assuring that discharges do not cause or contribute
to the violation of water quality.standards, through the expansion and tailoring of management
measures within the scope of the Stormwater Management Plan.

Permit No. NCS000441
9. The permit authorizes the point source discharge of stormwater runoff from the MS4. In
addition, discharges of non-stormwater are also authorized through the MS4 of the permittee if
such discharges are:
a. Permitted by, and in compliance with, another NPDLS discharge permit including
discharges of process and non -process wastewater and stormwater associated with
industrial activity; or
b. Determined to be incidental non-stormwater flows that do not significantly impact water
duality including, but are not limited to:
• water line flushing;

such by the Division, the permittee shall implement a TMDL Water Quality Recovery
Program. The following additional requirements apply.
(a) Within two years after receiving the Division's notice that the permittee is subject
to a TMDL, the permittee shall establish a TMDL Water Quality Recovery
Program and shall identify the locations of all currently known MS4 outfalls
within its jurisdictional area with the potential of discharging the pollutant(s) of
concern: to the impaired segments, to their tributaries, and to segments and
tributaries within the watershed contributing to the impaired segments. The
permittee shall also develop a schedule to discover and locate all other MS4
outfalls within its jurisdictional area that may be discharging the pollutant(s) of
concern: to the impaired stream segments, to their tributaries, and to segments and
tributaries within the watershed contributing to the impaired segments.
(b) Within two years after receiving the Division's notice that the permittee is subject
to a TMDL, the permittee shall develop a monitoring plan for each pollutant of
concern. The monitoring plan shall include the sample location by verbal
description and latitude and longitude coordinates, sample type, frequency, any
seasonal considerations, and a monitoring implementation schedule for each
pollutant of concern. Where appropriate, the permittee may reduce the monitoring
burden by proposing to monitor outfalls that the Division would consider
substantially similar to other outfalls. The permittee may also propose in -stream
monitoring where it would complement the overall monitoring plan. The
monitoring plan shall be adjusted as additional outfalls are identified in
accordance with the schedule required in (a) above and as accumulating data may
suggest.
(c) The permittee shall include the location of all currently known MS4 outfalls with
the potential of discharging the pollutant(s) of concern, the schedule for
discovering and locating currently unknown MS4 outfalls with the potential of
discharging the pollutant(s) of concern, and the monitoring plan, (all as required
in (a) and (b) above, and all part of the TMDL Water Quality Recovery Program)

minimize impervious surfaces, and/or minimize disturbance of soils and vegetation; (2)
policies or ordinances that encourage infill development in higher density urban areas,
and areas with existing storm sewer infrastructure; (3) education programs for developers
and the public about minimizing water quality impacts; (4) other measures such as
minimizing the percentage of impervious area after development, use of measures to
minimize directly connected impervious areas, and source control measures often thought

22. Total Maximum Daily Load „(TMDL)
A TMDL is a calculation of the maximum amount of a pollutant that a waterbody can
receive and still meet water quality standards, and an allocation of that amount to the
pollutant's sources. A TMDL is a detailed water quality assessment that provides the
scientific foundation for an implementation plan. The implementation plan outlines the
