8. Describe your system, in narrative, identifying use of pipe, open channels,
to give a general feel for how the system performs and the general condition of
the streams and other water bodies receiving runoff.
The City of Rocky Mount stormwater collection system consists of a combination
of street gutters, catch basins, stormwater pipes, swales, ditches, ponds,
lakes, streams, creeks, culverts and rivers. All of the stormwater not retained
in ponds or lakes or infiltrates into the groundwater is ultimately discharged
to the Tar River.
Most streets in the City of Rocky Mount are paved with curb and gutter. The
properties in most areas with curb and gutter streets are designed to drain
toward the street so stormwater in these areas is collected by catchbasins that
transport the stormwater to the stormwater pipe system. After the stormwater is
collected in the street and transported in the piped system, the stormwater is
ultimately discharged into a ditch or small stream. From there, the water is
transported to larger ditches or streams until the stormwater is ultimately
discharged to the Tar River.
For streets without curb and gutter, the City has installed roadside ditches.
These ditches are designed to drain by gravity to a central collection point.
The stormwater is ultimately discharged into a larger ditch or small stream.
From there the water is transported to larger ditches or streams until the
stormwater is ultimately discharged to the Tar River.
A.
For areas located in the City's watershed and new development in areas with
inadequate existing drainage system, the City requires the construction of a
stormwater detention pond or water quality pond to reduce the impact of the new
development on the existing drainage system. The City requires developers to
retain the discharge from the site to the pre -development runoff rate.

i T
Like most cities, the City of Rocky Mount stormwater collection system is a
combination of older sections and newer sections. Some portions of the drainage
system still in use were constructed prior to 1900. As the City has experienced
significant growth in the past twenty years, a substantial portion of the
stormwater collection system is fairly new. Since the early 1970s the City of
Rocky Mount has enforced minimum drainage design and construction standards. So
most of the stormwater collection systems in the newer portions of the City have
been transporting the 10 year rainfall event. Stormwater systems constructed
prior to the 1970s were not designed to meet the current standards. Many of the
stormwater pipes and ditches are not properly sized to handle the 10 year storm. ✓
This results in localized flooding in heavy rainfall. Many of the older pipe
sections are now beginning to fail and will require increased maintenance. The
streams and Tar River are fairly well maintained; however, increasing runoff
from up stream development outside the City's jurisdiction continues to cause
concerns for residents adjoining the streams.
9. Describe the maintenance activities:
The Streets Division of the Public Works Department has three (3) full-time
ditch maintenance crews of six (6) employees each. These ditch crews perform
regular debris removal, grass, and weed control along ditch bottom, side slopes
and banks, grading of flow line to keep water flowing, removal of any blockages 19
or obstructions, erosion control measures and any other maintenance activity
needed to keep ditches functioning properly to prevent flooding.
The Streets Division also has a full-time pipe and catch basin maintenance
repair crew of three (3) employees to remove blockages and make structural
repairs as needed.
In addition, we have a street sweeping program for all curb and gutter streets
in the City, which covers both City system and State system. We employ four (4•)
street sweeper operators and two (2) dump truck drivers to service the sweeper.
We sweep the thoroughfares weekly and other streets on a six (6) to eight (8)
week cycle.
10. How many full time equivalent positions are used to provide maintenance ✓
services, annually?: +/- 30
11, How often is the system inspected for maintenance problems?: quarterly at a
minimum
12. Do you clean catch basins, pipes, and other man-made structures? : Yes
13. what is the frequency of cleaning and the method used? : Vacuum truck, ✓
Bobcat, hand work; frequency as needed
14. What is the annual budget for maintenance activities?: $900,000 v
15. Describe the methodology used to calculate land use percentages.: zoning
layer in GIS system.

3. Local Water Quality Programs

The City of Rocky Mount is located within the Tar Pamlico River Basin. The
NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources has adopted a Nutrient
Management Strategy for. the Tar Pamlico River Basin. As such, the City of Rocky
Mount has adopted buffer regulations in conformance with the Tar Pamlico
Nutrient Management Strategies.
The Tar River serves as the City's drinking water supply. The City has adopted a
Watershed Protection Ordinance that regulates development in the watershed. The
City requires that developers who disturb more than one acre of land must
install RMP to reduce the pollution in their stormwater discharge. The developer
is generally required to install a professionally designed water quality pond
with vegetative filters on the pond discharge,
The City of Rocky Mount is a delegated community for the States Sediment and
Erosion Control Program. The City has had this delegated authority for more than
15 years and has staff dedicated to the program implementation and enforcement.
The City has adopted a sediment and erosion control ordinance. Developers who
disturb more than one acre of land must submit a permit application and a
sediment and erosion control plan. upon approval of the plan by City staff a
permit is issued. The City has inspectors who regularly visit the construction V
sites and inspect the sediment and erosion measures that have been installed.
When the measures do not meet the minimum requirements or have not been
maintained properly, the City takes enforcement action to bring the sites back
.into compliance.
The City also received a grant to acquire conservation easements along the Tar.
River to improve water quality. The City either owns the property or has V
acquired conservations easements along the Tar River for most of the area within
the City limits.

10. Public Education
What pollutant source are you trying to address and why? List the targeted
pollutants and give a brief explanation as to why these are selected.:
The City plans to address four main pollutants: Sediment
Oil and Grease
Organic Matter(Yard Waste)
Lawn Chemicals
Sediment has been shown to be the most prevalent pollutant in urban stormwater.
The City is a delegated sediment and erosion program, but the program does not
regulate construction of projects with a disturbed area of one acre or less. The
public education program will be designed to inform contractors and homeowners
of the need for sediment and erosion control measures even on smaller projects.
The oil and grease off streets is washed into the storm sewer system. The public
education program would be designed to encourage better vehicle maintenance but
fixing fluid leaks and prevent the dumping of oil down the storm drain. Yard
waste and lawn chemicals are significant pollution sources particularly in the
spring and fall. The public education program would alert homeowners and lawn
contractors of the environmental damage these pollutants can do.
Write a narrative description of the approach you are going to take in your
outreach program.
The City plans to use its existing sources and methods to educate the public
about the stormwater program and ways that they can reduce stormwater pollution.
The City already has educational programs in place for litter control,
recycling, electric conservation and water conservation. The City has a full
time Public Information Officer who will be responsible for developing the
materials required to get the message to the targeted groups about the priority
pollutants. We plan to use a combination of printed materials such a pamphlets,

bill stuffers� and similar materials, newspaper ads and articles, television
programs on the City channel, public service announcements, and personnel visits
to schools, civic clubs, neighborhood groups and similar organizations. The
message will be constant and varied to hold the public interest about ways to
prevent stormwater pollution.
The City also plans to use the existing Keep America Beautiful Program
Coordinator, who is a City employee to educate and involve the public in
activities designed to heighten the awareness of stormwater pollution and how to
prevent it.
Decision Process: describe the decision process used to create this program
element.
The City has hired a consultant who has had experience with a number of Phase I
cities. They have developed a public education plan that will educate the public
on the priority issues. The City Council appointed a Stormwater Advisory
Committee consisting of 18 members representing a number of different
constituent groups including developers, industries, and environmentalists and
they have reviewed the proposed public education program. Input was received
from the Public Information Officer, Keep America Beautiful Coordinator and
local school representatives in the development of the public education plan.
11. Public Involvement Program Are you going to comply with the public hearing
requirement to meet this minimum control measure?
Yes
1. Describe the Public Notice Process including the name and title of the person
responsible for compliance.
The City of Rocky Mount conducts public hearings cn a number of different issues
_ and the Public Notification Process is designed to meet --the requirements of the
particular issues. For example, some grant programs require a 30 day
advertisement prior to the public hearing while other grant programs only
require a two week notice prior to the public hearing.
For this application, we have adopted the most stringent of the public
notification procedures, which are a 30 day advertisement period, and the
advertisement must run at least twice in the newspaper with local circulation.
Also, copies of the application will be available for review in at least two
different locations. A certified copy of the advertisements and a copy of the
minutes of the public hearing will be submitted as a part of this application.
The'C~ity Clerk, Jean Bailey, is responsible for the City's compliance with the
public notification requirements.
12. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Illicit Discharge Detection and
Elimination Storm Sewer System Map
Storm sewer system map: Describe how you are going to complete a storm sewer
system map of outfall locations. (What sources of information will you use?

What form will the map take (digital, paper map)? What method will you use to
verify the accuracy of the locations? Will you do field verification and if so,
will you use any specific technology? How will you update the map, once data
collection begins? Who will keep the map current? Where will the map be
located within the organization for the public to view or review if desired?
The City plans to hire a consultant to help the City prepare a storm sewer
system map. The consultant will use the existing storm sewer system layer in the
City's GIS as a starting point and will use field surveying to complete the
storm sewer system map.
The map will be in digital form using Arc View, which is the software used to
support the City's GIS mapping. The digital- version will be available to all
City employees with computers on the City network. Paper copies of the map will
be available for the field crews who will perform maintenance on the system.
The location of the storm sewer facilities will be field surveyed by the
consultant using GPS technology. The City staff will use GPS and field surveying
methods to spot check the consultant's work to make sure that it is accurate.
The Engineering Department GIS technician will make changes to the GIS layer
containing the storm sewer system. The editing will be performed in a similar
manner as the water layer and the sewer layer in the GIS. The map will be
available for viewing and copying in the Stormwater Division of the Public Works
Department and the Engineering Department.
Regulatory Mechanism
Do you have an ordinance in place that prohibits non-stormwater from your
drainage system? No
Describe your process for developing a regulatory mechanism and when you plan on
doing so.
The City plans to review ordinances adopted by Phase 1 cities and other cities
that must comply with the Phase 2 regulations. Once a draft ordinance is
developed by the City staff and approved by the City Manager, the draft
ordinance will be sent to the Planning Board for review. The Planning Board will
hold a public hearing on the proposed ordinance. If they are in agreement with
the ordinance after receiving public input, they will forward the ordinance to
the City Council. The Council would hold a public hearing and adopt the
ordinance if they are in agreement with the ordinance. If either the Planning
Board or City Council have concerns, the ordinance would be redrafted addressing
their concerns and it would go back through the process again.
We plan to research and draft the ordinance in the first year and have the
Planning Board and City Council address the ordinance in the second year.
Enforcement Actions
Describe the methodology you will use to take enforcement actions needed when
you find an illicit connection. Include process you will follow if different -
from the method of adopting or amending your current ordinance.

The City plans to use the same approach as it currently uses in its Uniform
Housing Code Program. The City -will use a combination of -civil fines and
penalties and criminal charges to require property owners to eliminate illicit
discharges.
Upon determination that a property has an illicit discharge to the storm sewer
system, the City would write a letter to the property owner and/or tenant. The
letter would explain the violation and give the property owner 30 days to
correct the action. After thirty days, a re -inspection would occur. If the
illicit discharge has not been removed, the owner will be given a warning
stating that if it is not corrected with 15 days, they would be subject to fines
and/or penalties. If after 15 days the illicit discharge is not removed, the
City would then begin to fine the property owner or tenant $100 per day for each
day the violation is not corrected. If the fines are not paid, the City would
seek court relief to require that the fines be paid and the violation corrected.
Criminal penalties would be used in the event of deliberate acts such as illegal
dumping. If a person is caught illegally dumping materials into the storm sewer
system, he would be charged with a criminal violation of the City Code and be
required to pay the cost of remediation.
Detection and Elimination
Describe the plan you are going to follow to find and eliminate illicit
connections. Address spills and illegal dumping controls as well. Include
procedures for locating high priority areas in the community; procedures for
tracing the source of an illicit connection; procedures for removing the
discharge and procedures for program evaluation and assessment.
The City has existing ditch maintenance crews. These crews will be trained to
locate suspicious discharges into the storm sewer system as they perform their
normal maintenance activities in the ditches. City crews inspect and maintain
all of the ditches in the City receiving water from a City maintained street at
least once per year.
In year one, these crews will mark the location of any dry weather flows from
storm drainage pipes or ditches. This information will be used to develop a map
showing the potential hot spots. The Stormwater Program Manager will assign
staff to investigate the source of any dry weather flows into the storm sewer
system.
The second approach will be to establish and publicize a phone number that
residents can call to report illicit discharges and spills. The number would be
included in the public education materials provided to a wide range of groups
throughout the City. Any reported illicit discharges will be investigated by
City staff.
The'Stormwater Program Manager will conduct an annual evaluation of the
effectiveness of the illicit discharge and detection program. He will evaluate
the number of violations found, the amount of time from the notice of violation
to correction and overall effectiveness of the inspection program. He will make
adjustments in the program as required.
How will. you find illicit connections?

The City plans tc use two different approaches to find illicit discharge
connections. The first approach is to use existing City crews to inspect storm
sewer outfalls during dry weather periods. The second approach is to establish a
phone and Internet hotline for residents to report illicit discharges.
The City has several crews that routinely perform maintenance on the storm sewer
system. The crews inspect all ditches that receive stormwater from City
maintained streets at least once per year. The crews will be trained on how to
look for illicit discharges and what would constitute an illicit discharge. As
they perform their maintenance activities, they will be responsible for looking
for suspicious discharges particularly during dry weather periods. The location
of these suspicious discharges will be marked on a storm sewer map and logged
into the system for investigation by the technical staff.
The City will also establish a phone hotline for residents to report illicit
discharges to the storm sewer system. The calls will be received by the
Stormwater Division staff and logged into the system for investigation by the
technical staff. The City would also include a reporting location on the City's
Internet web page. The information form this site would be automatically
forwarded to the stormwater program manager who would log it into the system for
investigation.
How will you address spills, within your own operation and within the community?
The City's water and sewer division, wastewater treatment plant, and water
treatment plants have spill prevention and management plans as required by NC
DENR. The City's Fire Department has a standard operating procedure on how to
handle spills within the City.
Spills by private individuals or companies are generally reported to the Police
Department. They immediately dispatch the Fire Department to investigate the
reports and determine the resources needed. The Fire Department has personnel
specifically trained in spill clean up and safety.
How will you eliminate an illicit connection or discharge?
The City plans to require the property owner or tenant to eliminate the illicit
discharge through the use of civil penalties and fines. The City plans to use
the same procedures currently used by the City to require property owners to
bring their houses into compliance with the City's Minimum Housing Code.
Under the proposed program, the City will send a notice to the property owner
upon determination that an illicit discharge has been found on their property.
The notice will give the property owner 30 days to correct the problem. If after
30 days the property owner has not corrected the problem, a warning notice will
be sent to the property owner giving him 15 days to correct the problem, and if
he does not correct the problem, civil penalties will be issued. If they still
do not correct the problem after an additional 15 days, the City will cite the
property owner and charge civil penalties of $100 per day for each day that the
violation is not corrected. The City would seek court relief to collect the
penalties and force the property owner to correct the problem after 30 days.
How will you evaluate your program and make changes over time?
The Stormwater Program Manager would be charged with the responsibility of
evaluating the illicit discharge detection and elimination program. The program
would be evaluated on the number of illicit discharges found, the average length
taken to correct the problem and the effectiveness of the detection program.

The Stormwater Program Manager would make the changes in the program needed to
make the program more effective,

them and how you
Public Outreach
How will you inform the public and your employees about the hazards of illicit
connections and illegal dumping? This activity should be coordinated with your
Public Education Program and your Good Housing Keeping Program.
The City plans,to train its ditch maintenance crew on what is an illicit
discharge into the storm sewer system and how to detect illegal discharges. The
City plans to train all of its employees on the hazards of illicit connections
and how the discharge of specific substances to the storm sewer system harms the
environment. For employees in specific job areas such as police and fire, they
will receive additional training on the prevention of illegal dumping into the
storm sewer system and what to do if they see this activity.
The City will use its public education efforts to inform the public of the harm
that illicit discharges can do to the environment. A series of print material
and video materials will be used to bring this message to the public.

Program Approach
Describe how you developed your program approach to illicit discharge
elimination. How did you choose your BMPs and your measurable goals?
The City researched how other cities have addressed this issue. The goal of the
City was to use as many of its existing personnel and experiences in similar
programs to develop this program.
Based upon our research and existing program, we were able to develop a program
that meets the regulatory requirements and utilizes existing employees and
processes used in other existing City programs. After the staff developed the
approach, the approach was presented to the City Manager for approval.
The measurable goals are based upon the number of miles in storm sewer system
and experience of other cities.
Measurable Goals
Explain how you will evaluate the success of your program. What are the
measurable goals for each BMP?
The measurable goals for the program include the establishment of the phone and
Internet hotline for reporting illicit discharges. Our goal is to have these
services available in the first year of the program. After the first year, our
goal will be to publicize these opportunities at least once per year. If an
illicit discharge is reported and the person gives a name or phone number for
reply, our goal is to respond back to the person within 30 days. If it were an
illicit discharge we would explain the action to be taken. If it were not an
illicit discharge, the reason for that determination would be given.
The goal of the ditch maintenance inspection crew is to inspect each storm
drainage ditch receiving water from a public street at least once per year. For
the suspicious discharges detected by these crews, our goal is to inspect each
location within 90 days in the first year of the program and 60 days in
subsequent years. Upon determination that the discharge is an illicit discharge,
our goal is to have the illicit discharge removed within 120 days.
We will evaluate the success of our program by reviewing the actual amount
achieved in each of these areas versus the goal. For those areas where the goal
was not achieved, the Stormwater Program Manager would determine the steps
needed to achieve the goals in the next year.
13. Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Controls Construction Site Stormwater
Runoff Controls
Are you going to use the State Sediment and Erosion Control program to comply
with this minimum control measure? Yes

If yes, who is responsible for the program in your community? 'Warner
Rackley, P. E. CPESC
Provide contact information on the local program if it is delegated. If
another local jurisdiction provides this program for your community, attach the
interagency agreement that delineates responsibilities. City of Rocky
Mount has a delegated Sediment and Erosion Control Program, but manages this
program only within the City limits, not in the City's ETJ. The State of North
Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Land Quality Section is
responsible for the Sediment and Erosion Control Program in the unincorporated
area. John Holly of the Raleigh Regional office is the contact for the program.
14. Post Construction Site Management Post Construction Management for New and
Re -development activities
Do you currently have development standards that address stormwater management
on new or redevelopment projects that disturb more than one acre of property?
YES
Are your standards in an ordinance or other regulatory format that requires plan
reviews, long-term maintenance, and use of BMPs for water quality controls?
NO
Describe current program and how it meets the requirements of the Permit. How
does it address non-structural controls? See responses below.
How does it address structural controls? See responses below.
Describe your maintenance program, including enforcement mechanism. See
responses below.

Describe your plan review process. Plans are reviewed by a Technical Review
Committee comprised of professional engineers and planners. Plans are reviewed
for conformance with City standards. The Committee meets weekly. Plans are
recommended to the Planning Board for approval or approved by the Director of
Planning and Development.
Of all your current practices and strategies, list the ones that will be used as
on -going BMPs under this permit.
Do you have requirements for structural BMPs to control stormwater on site for
-new or redevelopment activities to control water quality? NO
I€ no standards and controls exist to control water quality, describe the
process you will use to select the on -site controls and standards. The
City has standards and controls established for those projects that are
constructed in the Watershed Protection Area. The City requires that the
developer install a water quality pond that removes settlable solids in the
ponds and removes nutrients in the vegetative filter on the discharge from the
pond.
As a part of the Tar Pamlico Nutrient Management Strategy, the City will have to
adopt an ordinance that extends the requirements for properties developed in the
Watershed Protection Area to all areas within the City. The City will develop a
stormwater management plan that will include this provision. The City will seek
input on the plan and implement the stormwater program if the NC DENR approves
the plan.
Do you have a regulatory mechanism to address post -construction controls for
water quality? NO
Describe how you will develop a mechanism, what you are considering and when you
will develop it. The City of Rocky Mount is located in the Tar Pamlico
River Bdsin, The NC DENR is developing a model Stormwater Management Program
that includes posE..construction stormwater controls as a part of the Tar Pamlico
Nutrient Strategy. The City will be required to develop a stormwater management
plan as a part of the Tar Pamlico regulations. The Stormwater Management Plan
must be developed and approved by the NC DENR by Aug. 2004.
Under the current requirements outlined in the Tar Pamlico Model Stormwater
Program, property owners with BMPs installed on their property must submit an
annual report outlining the condition of the BMP and any required maintenance.
The property owner is responsible for making any repairs necessary to bring the
BMP up to the original design standards. At a minimum the City will have to
adopt this requirement if it is included in the final Tar Pamlico regulations.

The City Council appointed a Stormwater Advisory Committee made up of 18
citizens representing different constituent groups. The committee discussed this
issue and has recommended that the City provide the inspection for the property
owners. The City Council will be asked to consider this option.
If yes you have standards to control water qua< ty, is long-term maintenance
required and how is it regulated? if no, describe how you will incorporate
maintenance requirements. If no long-term maintenance strategy is included in
your program, describe the process you will use to establish a long-term
maintenance strategy and the schedule you will follow. The long-term
maintenance program will be dictated by the inspection program. The City will be
required under the Tar Pamlico Regulations to have an annual inspection program.
The inspection program will determine the improvements needed to bring the BMP
up to its design standards. The City will follow up to make sure that the
improvement identified in the inspection report are completed in a timely
manner.
Describe the process you followed in determining your plan of action for this
minimum control measure. The City was a member of the stakeholders
group established by the NC DENR for the Tar Pamlico Model Stormwater Program.
The group reviewed the requirements established for the Neuse River Basin and
examined its effectiveness. The group also reviewed measures used in other
cities throughout the southeast.
The City and its consultant discussed this requirement with its Stormwater
Advisory Committee and they recommended a slightly different approach. The
Stormwater Advisory Committee included representatives of the development
community, industry, environmentalist, and neighborhoods. Each group had a
different perspective on this issue and they reached a consensus on having the
City perform the inspections. Their recommendation is subject to approval by the
City Council.
What are your priority areas? The top priority areas are to insure
that the BMP is properly designed by a professional, properly constructed, and
properly maintained to insure that it continues to function as designed.
The City's staff including professional engineers review each BMP design to make
sure that it meets the City's standards. The City has inspectors to insure that
the project is constructed properly. The City will either require the property
owner to inspect the BMP or the City will inspect it themselves and make the
property owner take corrective measures for any BMP not meeting its design
standards.
What conditions exist in your community that are unique or require tailored
BMPs? The City has a Watershed Protection Area established by ordinance upstream
of the City's Sunset Avenue Water Treatment Plant. The City requires that water

quality BMPs be constructed on all projects that disturb more than one acre and
exceed 24% impervious area.
Describe your measurable goals and evaluation process. The City will
have a goal of inspecting or causing to be inspected all BMPs installed in the
City on an annual basis.
The City will have a goal of requiring that repairs or improvements identified
in the inspection report be made within six months of the date of the annual
report.
The City shall have a goal of reviewing all BMP designs within 21 days of
submittal.
The City shall have a goal of developing the ordinances required to meet this
program and the similar program in the Tar Pamlico Nutrient Management Strategy
by Dec. 2004
The 5tormwater Program Manager shall be responsible for reviewing the program.
He should determine the number of BMPs installed and the number of annual
reports received.
For the annual reports that show corrections are required, the manager should
determine the actual time required for the improvements to be made.
The manager should annually review the ordinances and make sure that the
ordinances are in compliance with the Phase II regulations and the Tar Pamlico
Rules.
15. Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations Pollution

your program. No.
What are you currently doing that could be considered as BMP strategies under
the Permit? List measures and check to indicate that you are going to use these
to comply with the permit requirements. 1. The City of Rocky Mount
is currently evaluating existing facilities for their potential impact on
stormwater quality. The City enforces and complies with the Watershed Protection
requirements. The City requires buffers adjacent to named streams for water
quality protection.

List the municipal operations that will be impacted by this measure. Do you
operate or maintain:
List the municipal operations that must have a separate Industrial NPDES permit.
They may include: * Vehicle maintenance, fueling and repair facility for

* Mining operations (i.e., borrow area for landfill operation) Marinas
Fleet maintenance facility
Wastewater Treatment Plant,
Drainage system maintenance: describe your procedures for controlling floatable
and other pollutants from the drainage system. If you do not have a plan, how
will you address this in your permit?
The City controls floatable materials and other pollutants by preventing them
from entering the storm sewer system. The City has a very active street sweeping
program to remove pollutants from the roadways including floatable materials.
The City also has a vacuum truck dedicated to cleaning storm drainage lines. The
truck removes pollutants that have settled into catch basins and storm sewer
pipes. The City has three crews dedicated year round to the cleaning of ditches,
which includes removal of debris and vegetation.
Describe your procedures for maintenance of the drainage system including
inspection of the system. If you do not have a plan, how will you address this
in your permit?
See information on existing maintenance program in Section I-9.
Describe controls for reducing pollutants from parking lots, storage yards,
waste transfer stations, outdoor storage areas at vehicle maintenance shops,
salt storage and snow disposal areas. It you do not have a plan, how will you
address this in your permit?
We will address these issues in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
associated with the Fleet Maintenance Facility that will be permitted
separately.
Describe your procedures for the proper disposal of waste removed from your
drainage system? If you do not have a plan, how will you address this in your
permit?
What are your procedures to incorporate water quality controls within flood
management projects? If you do not currently consider this in your program of
flood management, how will you address this in your permit?
The City will adopt nutrient management strategies to meet the Tar Pamlico Rules
adopted by the EMC. They will apply to new projects constructed in the City.

Describe how you developed your pollution prevention plan for this permit. What
important factors did you consider?
We have not developed a stormwater pollution prevention plan for the Fleet
Maintenance Facility. We will develop the plan in accordance with the Industrial
NPDES requirements.
What are your measurable goals and how will you evaluate them
The measurable goals for the good housekeeping/pollution prevention requirements
will be the number of employees trained per year in pollution prevention
methods. All new employees will be trained in pollution prevention and employees
on the ditch maintenance crews will be trained in illicit discharge detection.
other employees will be trained as required for specific types of activities
that if improperly executed may result in increased pollution.

EXTRACT OF THE MINUTES OF A REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD
FEBRUARY 10, 2003.
The City Council of the City of Rocky Mount met this day in a
regular session at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chamber of the Municipal
Services Complex with Mayor Frederick E. Turnage presiding.
Councilmembers present: Reuben C. Blackwell, IV, Lamont Wiggins,
Walter D. Wiggins, Jimmie G. Armstrong, W. B. Bullock, and Christine
Carroll Miller (Chris).
Councilmember absent: Helen P. Gay.
NPDES PERMIT/PUBLIC HEARING
The Mayor opened a public hearing relative to the City's
application for a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
permit required as a result of U. S. Environmental Protection Agency
and North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
regulations. He noted that these regulations provide for cities and
counties to implement programs to reduce pollutants from stormwater
discharge into creeks, streams and rivers. He recognized the City
Engineer Jerry Pierce to explain the regulations and what the City is
being required to do.
Mr. Pierce explained that by March 10, 2003 the City will be
required to apply for a Phase II National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System permit which must include a proposed stormwater
management program and a schedule to implement the program within the
next five (5) years. He noted that the permit application requires a
public hearing and that the City address six minimum elements:
1. A public education program that informs citizens on what they
can do to reduce pollutants in stormwater.
2. A public involvement and participation program.

3. A program to detect and eliminate illicit discharges to the
stormwater system. This includes a requirement that the City
identify all water bodies in the City and map the location of
all stormwater outfalls.
4. A program to control runoff from construction sites.
S. A program to control post -construction runoff from any
development that disturbs more than one acre of land.
6. A good housekeeping/pollution prevention program to reduce
pollutants in the runoff from the City's own facilities.
Councilmember Armstrong asked if the landscape and yard
maintenance businesses that operate in the City know about these
regulations. He stated that many of them blow the debris from their
yard work into the storm drainage system.
Mr. Pierce told Councilmember Armstrong that this is already
illegal and the City will attempt to control this through an education
program to alert these business owners as to the damage this practice
is causing.
The Mayor recognized Lewis Turner who stated that an answer to
some of this problem may be recycling. He noted that citizens have to
learn to work with nature.
No one else from the public appeared relative to the permit
application and the Mayor declared the public hearing closed.
No further action was required of the City Council.

8. Describe your system, in narrative, identifying use of pipe, open channels,
to give a general feel for how the system performs and the general condition of
the streams and other water bodies receiving runoff.
The City of Rocky Mount stormwater collection system consists of a combination
of street gutters, catch basins, stormwater pipes, swales, ditches, ponds,
lakes, streams, creeks, culverts and rivers. All of the stormwater not retained
in ponds or lakes or infiltrates into the groundwater is ultimately discharged
to the Tar River.
Most streets in the City of Rocky Mount are paved with curb and gutter. The
properties in most areas with curb and gutter streets ar.e.designed to drain
toward the street so stormwater in these areas is collected by catchbasins that
transport the stormwater to the stormwater pipe system. After the stormwater is
collected in the street and transported in the piped system, the stormwater is
ultimately discharged into a ditch or small stream. From there, the water is
transported to larger ditches or streams until the stormwater is ultimately
discharged to the Tar River.
For streets without curb and gutter, the City has installed roadside ditches.
These ditches are designed to drain by gravity to a central collection point.
The stormwater is ultimately discharged into a larger ditch or small stream.
From there the water is transported to larger ditches or streams until the
stormwater is ultimately discharged to the Tar River.
For areas'located in the City's watershed and new development in areas with
inadequate existing drainage system, the City requires the construction of a
stormwater detention pond or water quality pond to reduce the impact of the new
development on the existing drainage system. The City requires developers to
retain the discharge from the site to the pre -development runoff rate.

Like most cities, the City of Rocky Mount stormwater collection system is a
combination of older sections and newer sections. Some portions of the drainage
system still in use were constructed prior to 1900. As the City has experienced
significant growth in the past twenty years, a substantial portion of the
stormwater collection system is fairly new. Since the early 1970s the City of
Rocky Mount has enforced minimum drainage design and construction standards. So
most of the stormwater collection systems in the newer portions of the City have
been transporting the 10 year rainfall event. Stormwater systems constructed
prior to the 1970s were not designed to meet the current standards. Many of the
stormwater pipes and ditches are not properly sized to handle the 10 year storm.
This results in localized flooding in heavy rainfall. Many of the older pipe
sections are now beginning to fail and will require increased maintenance. The
streams and Tar River are fairly well maintained; however, increasing runoff
from up stream development outside the City's jurisdiction continues to cause
concerns for residents adjoining the streams.
9. Describe the maintenance activities:
The Streets Division of the Public Works Department has three (3) full-time
ditch maintenance crews of six (6) employees each. These ditch crews perform
regular debris removal, grass, and weed control along ditch bottom, side slopes
and banks, grading of flow line to keep water flowing, removal of any blockages
or obstructions, erosion control measures and any other maintenance activity _
needed to keep ditches functioning properly to prevent flooding.
The Streets Division also has a full-time pipe and catch basin maintenance
repair crew of three (3) employees to remove blockages and make structural
repairs as needed.
In addition, we have a street sweeping program for all curb and gutter streets
in the City, which covers both City system and State system. We employ four (4)
street sweeper operators and two (2) dump truck drivers to service the sweeper.
We sweep the thoroughfares weekly and other streets on a six (6) to eight (8)
week cycle.
10. How many full time equivalent positions are used to provide maintenance
services, annually?: +/- 30
11. How often is the system inspected for maintenance problems?: quarterly at a
minimum
12. Do you clean catch basins, pipes, and other man-made structures? : Yes
13. What is thy= frequency of cleaning and the method used? Vacuum truck,
Bobcat, hand work; frequency as needed
A. What is the annual budget for maintenance activities?: $900,000
15. Describe the methodology used to calculate land use percentages.: Zoning
layer in CIS system.
2. Receiving Streams No Streams Entered
3. Local Water Quality Programs

The City of Rocky Mount is located within the Tar Pamlico River Basin. The
NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources has adopted a Nutrient
Management Strategy for the Tar Pamlico River Basin. As such, the City of Rocky
Mount has adopted buffer regulations in conformance with the Tar Pamlico
Nutrient Management Strategies.
The Tar River serves as the City's drinking water supply. The City has adopted a
Watershed Protection Ordinance that regulates development in the watershed. The
City requires that developers who disturb more than one acre of land must
install BMP to reduce the pollution in their stormwater discharge. The developer
is generally required to install a professionally designed water quality pond
with vegetative filters on the pond discharge.
The City of Rocky Mount is a delegated community for the State's Sediment and
Erosion Control Program. The City has had this delegated authority for more than
15 years and has staff dedicated to the program implementation and enforcement-.
The City has adopted a sediment and erosion control ordinance. Developers who
disturb more than one acre of land must submit a permit application and a
sediment and erosion control plan. Upon approval of the plan by City staff a
permit is issued. The City has inspectors who regularly visit the construction
sites and inspect the sediment and erosion measures that have been installed.
When the measures do not meet the minimum requirements or have not been
maintained properly, the City takes enforcement action to bring the sites back
into compliance.
The City also received a grant to acquire conservation easements along the Tar
River to improve water quality. The City either owns the property or has
acquired conservations easements along the Tar River for most of the area within
the City limits.

10. Public Education
what pollutant source are you trying to address and why? List the targeted
pollutants and give a brief explanation as to why these are selected.:
The City plans to address four main pollutants: Sediment
Oil and Grease
Organic Matter(Yard Waste)
Lawn Chemicals
Sediment has been shown to be the most prevalent pollutant in urban stormwater.
The City is a delegated sediment and erosion program, but the program does not
regulate construction of projects with a disturbed area of one acre or less. 'rhe
public education program will be designed to inform contractors and homeowners
of the need for sediment and erosion control measures even on smaller projects.
The oil and grease off streets is washed into the storm sewer system. The public
education program would be designed to encourage better vehicle maintenance but -
fixing fluid leaks and prevent the dumping of oil down the storm drain. Yard
waste and lawn chemicals are significant pollution sources particularly in the
spring and fall.. The public education program would alert homeowners and lawn
contractors of the environmental damage these pollutants can do.
Write a narrative description of the approach you are going to take in your
outreach program.
The City plans to use its existing sources and methods to educate the public
about the stormwater program and ways that they can reduce stormwater pollution.
The City already has educational programs in place for litter control,
recycling, electric conservation and water conservation. The City has a full
time Public Information Officer who will be responsible for developing the
materials required to get the message to the targeted groups about the priority
pollutants. We plan to use a combination of printed materials such a pamphlets,

bill stuffers, and similar materials, newspaper ads and articles, television
programs on the City channel, public service announcements, and personnel visits
to schools, civic clubs, neighborhood groups and similar organizations. The
message will be constant and varied to hold the public interest about ways to
prevent stormwater pollution.
The City also plans to use the existing Keep America Beautiful Program
Coordinator, who is a City employee to educate and involve the public in
activities designed to heighten the awareness of stormwat-er pollution and how to
prevent it.
Decision Process: describe the decision process used to create this program
element.
The City has hired a consultant who has had experience with a number of Phase I
cities. They have developed a public education plan that will educate the public
on the priority issues. The City Council appointed a Stormwater Advisory
Committee consisting of 18 members representing a number of different
constituent groups including developers, industries, and environmentalists and
they have reviewed the proposed public education program. Input was received
from the Public Information officer, Keep America Beautiful Coordinator and
local school representatives in the development of the public education plan.
11. Public Involvement Program Are you going to comply with the public hearing
requirement to meet this minimum control measure?
Yes
1. Describe the Public Notice Process including the name and title of the person
responsible for compliance.
The City of Rocky Mount conducts public hearings on a number of different issues
and the Public Notification Process is designed to meet the requirements of the
particular issues. For example, some grant programs require a 30 day
advertisement prior to .the public hearing while other grant programs only
require a two week notice prior to the public hearing.
For this application, we have adopted the most stringent of the public
notification procedures, which are a 30 day advertisement period, and the
advertisement must run at least twice in the newspaper with local circulation.
Also, copies of the application will be available for review in at least two
different locations. A certified copy of the advertisements and a copy of the
minutes of the public hearing will be submitted as a part of this application.
The City Clerk, Jean Bailey, is responsible for the City's compliance with the
public notification requirements.
12. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Illicit Discharge Detection and
Elimination Storm Sewer System Map
Storm sewer system map: Describe how you are going to complete a storm sewer
system map of outfall locations. {What sources of information will you use?

What form will the map take (digital, paper map)? What method will you use to
verify the accuracy of the locations? Will you do field verification and if so,
will you use any specific technology? How will you update the map, once data
collection begins? Who will keep the map current? Where will the map be
located within the organization for the public to view or review if desired?
The City plans to hire a consultant to help the City prepare a storm sewer
system map. The consultant will use the existing storm sewer system layer in the
City's GIS as a starting point and will use field surveying to complete the
storm sewer system map.
The map will be in digital form using Arc View, which is the software used to
support the City's GIS mapping. The digital version will be available to all
City employees with computers on the City network. Paper copies of the map will
be available for the field crews who will perform maintenance on the system.
The location of the storm sewer facilities will be field surveyed by the
consultant using GPS technology. The City staff will use GPS and field surveying
methods to spot check the consultant's work to make sure that it is accurate.
The Engineering Department- GIS technician will make changes to the GIS layer
containing the storm sewer system. The editing will be performed in a similar
manner as the water layer and the sewer layer in the GIS. The map will be
available for viewing and copying in the Stormwater Division of the Public Works
Department and the Engineering Department,
Regulatory Mechanism
Do you have an ordinance in place that prohibits non-stormwater from your
drainage system? No
Describe your process for developing a regulatory mechanism and when you plan on
doing so.
The City plans to review ordinances adopted by Phase 1 cities and other cities
that must comply with the Phase 2 regulations. Once a draft ordinance is
developed by the City staff and approved by the City Manager, the draft
ordinance will be sent to the Planning Board for review. The Planning Board will
hold a public hearing on the proposed ordinance. If they are in agreement with
the ordinance after receiving public input, they will forward the ordinance to
the City Council. The Council would hold a public hearing and adopt the
ordinance if they are in agreement with the ordinance. If either the Planning
Board or City Council have concerns, the ordinance would be redrafted addressing
their concerns and it would go back through the process again.
We plan to research and draft- the ordinance in the first year and have the
Planning Board and City Council address the ordinance in the second year.
Enforcement Actions
Describe the methodology you will use to take enforcement actions needed when
you find an illicit connection. Include process you will follow if different
from the method of adopting or amending your current ordinance.

The City plans to use the same approach as it currently uses in its Uniform
Housing Code Program. The City will use a combination of civil fines and
penalties and criminal charges to require property owners to eliminate illicit
discharges.
Upon determination that a property has an illicit discharge to the storm sewer
system, the City would write a letter to the property owner and/or tenant. The
letter would explain the violation and give the property owner 30 days to
correct the action. After thirty days, a re -inspection would occur. If the
illicit discharge has not been removed, the owner will be given a warning
stating that if it is not corrected with 15 days, they would be subject to fines
and/or penalties. if after 15 days the illicit discharge is not removed, the
City would then begin to fine the property owner or tenant $100 per day for each
day the violation is not corrected. If the fines are not paid, the City would
seek court relief to require that the fines be paid and the violation corrected.
Criminal penalties would be used in the event of deliberate acts such as illegal
dumping. if a person is caught illegally dumping materials into the storm sewer
system, he would be charged with a criminal violation of the City Code and be
required to pay the cost of remediation.
Detection and Elimination
Describe the plan you are going to follow to find and eliminate illicit
connections. Address spills and illegal dumping controls as well. Include
procedures for locating high priority areas in the community; procedures for
tracing the source of an illicit connection; procedures for removing the
discharge and procedures for program evaluation and assessment.
The City has existing ditch maintenance crews. These crews will be trained to
locate suspicious discharges into the storm sewer system as they perform their
normal maintenance activities in the ditches. City crews inspect and maintain
all of the ditches in the City receiving water from a City maintained street at
least once per year.
In year one, these crews will mark the location of any dry weather flows from
storm drainage pipes or ditches. This information will be used to develop a map
showing the potential hot spots. The Stormwater Program Manager will assign
staff to investigate the source of any dry weather flows into the storm sewer
system.
The second approach will be to establish and publicize a phone number that
residents can call to report illicit discharges and spills. The number would be
included in the public education materials provided to a wide range of groups
throughout the City. Any reported illicit discharges will be investigated by
City staff.
The Stormwater Program Manager will conduct an annual evaluation of the
effectiveness of the illicit discharge and detection program. He will evaluate
the number of violations found, the amount of time from the notice of violation
to correction and overall effectiveness of the inspection program. He will make
adjustments in the program as required.
How will you find illicit connections?

The City plans to use two different approaches to find illicit discharge
connections. The first approach is to use existing City crews to inspect storm
sewer outfalls during dry weather periods. The second approach is to establish a
phone and Internet hotline for residents to report illicit discharges.
The City has several crews that routinely perform maintenance on the storm sewer
system. The crews inspect all ditches that receive stormwater from City
maintained streets at least once per year. The crews will be trained on how to
look for illicit discharges and what would constitute an illicit discharge. As
they perform their maintenance activities, they will be responsible for looking
for suspicious discharges particularly during dry weather periods. The location
of these suspicious discharges will be marked on a storm sewer map and logged
into the system for investigation by the technical staff.
The City will also establish a phone hotline for residents to report illicit
discharges to the storm sewer system. The calls will be received by the
Stormwater Division staff and logged into the system for investigation by the
technical staff. The City would also include a reporting location on the City's
Internet web page. The information form this site would be automatically
forwarded to the stormwater program manager who would log it into the system for
investigation.
How will you address spills, within your own operation and within the community?
The City's water and sewer division, wastewater treatment plant, and water
treatment plants have spill prevention and management plans as required by NC
DENR. The City's Fire Department has a standard operating procedure on how to
handle spills within the City.
Spills by private individuals or companies are generally reported to the Police
Department. They immediately dispatch the Fire Department to investigate the
reports and determine the resources needed. The Fire Department has personnel
specifically trained in spill clean up and safety.
How will you eliminate an illicit connection or discharge?
The City plans to require the property owner or tenant to eliminate the illicit
discharge through the use of civil penalties and fines. The City plans to use
the same procedures currently used by the -City to require property owners to
bring their houses into compliance with the City's Minimum Housing Code.
Under the proposed program, the City will send a notice to the property owner
upon determination that an illicit discharge has been found on their property.
The notice will give the property owner 30 days to correct the problem. If after
30 days the property owner has not corrected the problem, a warning notice will
be sent to the property owner giving him 15 days to correct the problem, and if
he does not correct the problem, civil penalties will be issued. If they still
do not correct the problem after an additional 15 days, the City will cite the
property owner and charge civil penalties of $100 per day for each day that the
violation is not corrected. The City would seek court relief to collect the
penalties and force the property owner to correct the problem after 30 days.
How will you evaluate your program and make changes over time?
The Stormwater Program Manager would be charged with the responsibility of
evaluating the illicit discharge detection and elimination program. The program
would be evaluated on the number of illicit discharges found, the average length
taken to correct the problem and the effectiveness of the detection program.

The Stormwater Program Manager would make the changes in the program needed to
make the program more effective.

them and how you
Public Outreach
How will you inform the public and your employees about the hazards of illicit
connections and illegal dumping? This activity should be coordinated with your
Public Education Program and your Good Housing Keeping Program.
The City plans to train its ditch maintenance crew on what is an illicit
discharge into the storm sewer system and how to detect illegal discharges. The
City plans to train all of its employees on the hazards of illicit connections
and how the discharge of specific substances to the storm sewer system harms the
environment. For employees in specific job areas such as police and fire, they
will receive additional training on the prevention of illegal dumping into the
storm sewer system and what to do if they see this activity.
The City will use its public education efforts to inform the public of the harm
that illicit discharges can do to the environment. A series of print material
and video materials will be used to bring this message to the public.

Program Approach
Describe how you developed your program approach to illicit discharge
elimination. How did you choose your BMPs and your measurable goals?
The City researched how other cities have addressed this issue. The goal of the
City was to use as many of its existing personnel and experiences in similar
programs to develop this program.
Based upon our research and existing program, we were able tb develop a program
that meets the regulatory requirements and utilizes existing employees and
processes used in other existing City programs. After the staff developed the
approach, the approach was presented to the City Manager for approval.
The measurable goals are based upon the number of miles in storm sewer system
and experience of other cities.
Measurable Goais
Explain how you will evaluate the success of your program. What are the
measurable goals for each BMP?
The measurable goals for the program include the establishment of the phone and
Internet hotline for reporting illicit discharges. Our goal is to have these
services available in the first year of the program. After the first year, our
goal will be to publicize these opportunities at least once per year. if an
illicit discharge is reported and the person gives a name or phone number for
reply, our goal is to respond back to the person within 30 days. If it were an
illicit discharge we would explain the action to be taken. If it were not an
illicit discharge, the reason for that determination would be given.
The goal of the ditch maintenance inspection crew is to inspect each storm
drainage ditch receiving water from a public street at least once per year. For
the suspicious discharges detected by these crews, our goal is to inspect each
location within 90 days in the first year of the program and 50 days in
subsequent years. Upon determination that the discharge is an illicit discharge,
our goal is to have the illicit discharge removed within 120 days.
We will evaluate the success of our program by reviewing the actual amount
achieved in each of: these areas versus the goal. For those areas where the goal
was not achieved, the Stormwater Program Manager would determine the steps
needed to achieve the goals in the next year.
13. Construction Site Stormwater Runoff
Runoff Controls
Are you going to use the State Sediment
with this minimum control measure?
Controls Construction Site Stormwater
and Erosion Control program to comply
Yes

If yes, who is responsible for the program in your community? Warner
Rackley, P. E. CPESC
Provide contact information on the local program if it is delegated. if
another local jurisdiction provides this program for your community, attach the
interagency agreement that delineates responsibilities. City of Rocky
Mount has a delegated Sediment and Erosion Control Program, but manages this
program only within the City limits, not in the City's ETJ. The State of North
Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Land Quality Section is
responsible for the Sediment and Erosion Control Program in the unincorporated
area. John Holly of the Raleigh Regional Office is the contact for the program.
14. Post Construction Site Management Post Construction Management for New and
Re -development activities
Do you currently have development standards that address stormwater management
on new or redevelopment projects that disturb more than one acre of property?
YES
Are your standards in an ordinance or other regulatory format that requires plan
reviews, long-term maintenance, and use of $MPS for water quality controls?
NO
Describe current program and how it meets the requirements of the Permit. How
does it address non-structural controls? See responses below.
How does it address structural controls? See responses below.
Describe your maintenance program, including enforcement mechanism. See
responses below.

Describe your plan review process. Plans are reviewed by a Technical Review
Committee comprised of professional engineers and planners. Plans are reviewed
for conformance with City standards. The Committee meets weekly. Plans are
recommended to the Planning Board for approval or approved by the Director of
Planning and Development.
Of all your current practices and strategies, list the ones that will be used as
on -going BMPs under -this permit.
Do you have requirements for structural BMPs to control stormwater on site for
new or redevelopment activities to control water quality? NO
If- no standards and controls exist to control water quality, describe the
process you will use to select the on -site controls and standards. The
City has standards and controls established for those projects that are
constructed in the Watershed Protection Area. The City requires that the
developer install a water quality pond that removes settlable solids in the
ponds and removes nutrients in the vegetative filter on the discharge from the
pond.
As a part of the Tar Pamlico Nutrient Management Strategy, the City will have to
adopt an ordinance that extends the requirements for properties developed in the
Watershed Protection Area to all areas within the City. The City will develop a
stormwater management plan that will include this provision. The City will seek
input on the plan and implement the stormwater program if the NC DENR approves
the plan.
Do you have a regulatory mechanism to address post -construction controls for
water quality? NO
Describe how you will develop a mechanism, what you are considering and when you
will develop it. The City of Rocky Mount is located in the Tar Pamlico
River Basin. The NC: DENR is developing a model Stormwater Management Program
that includes post construction stormwater controls as a part of the Tar Pamlico
Nutrient Strategy. The City will be required to develop a stormwater management
plan as a part of the Tar Pamlico regulations. The Stormwater Management Plan
must be developed and approved by the NC DENR by Aug. 2004.
Under the current requirements outlined in the 'Far Pamlico Model Stormwater
Program, property owners with BMPs installed on their property must submit an
annual report outlining the condition of the BMP and any required maintenance.
The property owner is responsible for making any repairs necessary to bring the
BMP up to the original design standards. At a minimum the City will have to
adopt this requirement if it is included in the final Tar Pamlico regulations.

The City Council appointed a Stormwater Advisory Committee made up of 18
citizens representing different constituent groups. The committee discussed this
issue and has recommended that the City provide the inspection for the property
owners. The City Council will be asked to consider this option.
If yes you have standards to control water quality, is long-term maintenance
required and how is it regulated? If no, describe how you will incorporate
maintenance requirements. if no long-term maintenance strategy is included in
your program, describe the process you will use to establish a long-term
maintenance strategy and the schedule you will follow. The long-term
maintenance program will be dictated by the inspection program. The City will be
required under the Tar Pamlico Regulations to have an annual inspection program.
The inspection program will determine the improvements needed to bring the BMP
up to its design standards. The City will follow up to make sure that the
improvement identified in the inspection report are completed in a timely
manner.
Describe the process you followed in determining your plan of action for this
minimum control measure. The City was a member of the stakeholders
group established by the NC DENR for the Tar Pamlico Model Stormwater Program.
The group reviewed the requirements established for the Neuse River Basin and
examined its effectiveness. The group also reviewed measures used in other
cities throughout the southeast.
The City and its consultant discussed this requirement with its Stormwater
Advisory Committee and they recommended a slightly different approach. The
Stormwater Advisory Committee included representatives of the development
community, industry, environmentalist, and neighborhoods. Each group had a
different perspective on this issue and they reached a consensus on having the
City perform the inspections. Their recommendation is subject to approval by the
City Council.
What are your priority areas? The top priority areas are to insure
that the BMP is properly designed by a professional, properly constructed, and
properly maintained to insure that it continues to function as designed.
The City's staff including professional engineers review each BMP design to make
sure that it meets the City's standards. The City has inspectors to insure that
the project is constructed properly. The City will either require the property
owner to inspect the BMP or the City will inspect it themselves and make the
property owner take corrective measures for any BMP not meeting its design
standards.
What conditions exist in your community that are unique or require tailored
BMPs? The City has a Watershed Protection Area established by ordinance upstream
of the City's Sunset Avenue Water Treatment Plant. The City requires that water

quality BMPs be constructed on all projects that disturb more than one acre and
exceed 24% impervious area.
Describe your measurable goals and evaluation process. The City will
have a goal of inspecting or causing to be inspected all BMPs installed ir. the
City on an annual. basis.
The City will have a goal of requiring that repairs or improvements identified
in the inspection report be made within six months of the date of the annual
report.
The City shall have a goal of reviewing all BMP designs within 21 days of
submittal.
The City shall have a goal of developing the ordinances required to meet this
program and the similar program in the Tar Pamlico Nutrient Management Strategy
by Dec. 2004
The Stormwater Program Manager shall be responsible for reviewing the program.
He should determine the number of BMPs installed and the number of annual _
reports received.
For the annual reports that show corrections are required, the manager should
determine the actual time required for the improvements to be made.
The manager should annually review the ordinances and make sure that the
ordinances are in compliance with the Phase II regulations and the Tar Pamlico
Rules.

* Mining operations (i.e., borrow area for landfill operation) * Marinas
Fleet maintenance facility
Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Drainage system maintenance: describe your procedures for controlling floatable
and other pollutants from the drainage system. If you do not have a plan, how
will you address this in your permit?
The City controls floatable materials and other pollutants by preventing them
from entering the storm sewer system. The City has a very active street sweeping
program to remove pollutants from the roadways including floatable materials.
The City also has a vacuum truck dedicated to cleaning storm drainage lines. The
truck removes pollutants that have settled into catch basins and storm sewer
pipes. The City has three crews dedicated year round to the cleaning of ditches,
which includes removal of debris and vegetation,
Describe your procedures for maintenance of the drainage system including
inspection of the system. If you do not have a plan, how will you address this
in your permit?
See information on existing maintenance program in Section I-9.
Describe controls for reducing pollutants from parking lots, storage yards,
waste transfer stations, outdoor storage areas at vehicle maintenance shops,
salt storage and snow disposal areas. If you do not have a plan, how will you
address this in your. permit?
We will address these issues in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
associated with the Fleet Maintenance Facility that will be permitted
separately.
Describe your procedures for the proper disposal of waste removed from your
drainage system? If you do not have a plan, how will you address this in your
permit?
What are your procedures to incorporate water quality controls within flood
management projects? If you do not currently consider this in your program of
flood management, how will you address this in your permit?
The City will adopt nutrient management strategies to meet the Tar Pamlico Rules
adopted by the EMC. They will apply to new projects constructed in the City.

Describe how you developed your pollution prevention plan for this permit. What
important factors did you consider?
We have not developed a stormwater pollution prevention plan for the Fleet
Maintenance Facility. We will develop the plan in accordance with the Industrial
NPDES requirements.
What are your measurable goals and how will you evaluate them
The measurable goals for the good housekeeping/pollution prevention requirements
will be the number of employees trained per year in pollution prevention
methods. All new employees will be trained in pollution prevention and employees
on the ditch maintenance crews will be trained in illicit discharge detection.
Other employees will be trained as required for specific types of activities
that if improperly executed may result in increased pollution.
