Bryant, Purred unt Region Coordinator Habitat Conservation Program DATE: 23 April 2007 SUBJECT: Draft NPDES Permit to Discharge Stormwater for Town of Stallings, Union County, North Carolina, NPDES Permit No. NCS000454. Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission have reviewed the subject document and we are familiar with the habitat values of the area. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (as amended), Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d), North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.), and North Carolina Administrative Code 15A NCAC 101.0102, The Town of Stallings has applied for an NPDES permit to discharge stormwater runoff from their municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) into North Fork Crooked Creek, South Fork Crooked Creek, Goose Creek, West Fork Twelvemile Creek and their tributaries in the Catawba and Yadkin -Pee Dee River basins. There are records for the federal and state endangered Carolina heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata) in Goose Creek. Goose Creek is on the State's 303(d) list due to impaired biological integrity and violation of fecal coliform standards. The potential sources include construction, urban runoff/storm sewers, minor non -municipal and agriculture. The draft permit states for those portions of the Goose Creek watershed present within the permittee's local jurisdiction: a) The permittee shall maintain two -hundred foot undisturbed buffers on perennial streams; one - hundred foot undisturbed buffers on intermittent streams; and a ten percent impervious surface threshold for engineered stormwater management controls in the interim period until the comprehensive plan for the protection of the Carolina heelsplitter in the Goose Creek watershed is adopted; or b) The permittee shall comply with the conditions and management measures of the site -specific comprehensive plan for protection of the Carolina heelsplitter in the Goose Creek watershed when adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

We are very pleased to see the riparian buffers we recommended have been incorporated into the draft permit. While we are encouraged by a ten percent impervious surface threshold for the use of engineered stormwater controls, we question whether this is sufficient to protect the Carolina heelsplitter and its habitat. in our comments on the draft permit (15 December 2004), we detailed several measures that we felt should be incorporated as permit conditions to reduce impacts to the Carolina heelsplitter and its habitat. We continue to believe all of the measures detailed that correspondence are important to protect the species and its habitat. However, we feel the following measures are crucial to ensure the continued survival of the species within the Goose Creek watershed and that these should be incorporated as permit conditions and in the site -specific comprehensive plan. I . New developments and existing developments for which modifications or expansion are proposed that exceed 6% site imperviousness include stormwater controls designed to mimic, using best available technology, the hydrographic condition at the site prior to the change in landscape. These should be designed to maintain subsurface infiltration, stream recharge, and stream stability. 2. Stormwater treatment systems should be designed to achieve a minimum of 85% average removal of total suspended solids and consider systems that would result in reducing the levels of fecal coliform, ammonia, phosphorus, nitrogen, copper, and pesticides as these pollutants have been identified as concerns. 3. Maintain and establish a 200-foot native forested buffer along each side of perennial streams and 100- foot native forested buffer along each side of intermittent streams. Buffers should be measured horizontally from the edge of the stream bank. if wooded buffers do not exist, these areas should be allowed to naturally revegetate (so long as the area is pervious) to increase the functionality of the forested buffer. 4. -Prohibit development within the 100-year FEMA floodplain and jurisdictional water floodplains and protect these areas as undisturbed forested areas. 5. Sewer line, water line and other utility infrastructure construction and maintenance follow the measures detailed in NC WRC's Guidance Memorandum to Address and Mitigate Secondary and Cumulative Impacts to Aquatic and Terrestrial Wildlife Resources and Water Quality (August 2002).

Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 'ETL� bSAND T0R iW4TER 'ry RI DRAFT P1?RMIT NO. NCS000454, Town of Stallings H Dear Mr. Bennett: These comments are submitted to supplement and amplify our previous comments on the above referenced application for a Stormwater discharge permit. Since we submitted our previous comments, the NC Division of Water Quality has issued a proposed total maximum daily load ("TMDL) for fecal coliform for Goose Creek. See Total Maximum Daily Loads for Fecal Coliform for Goose Creek, North Carolina, Public Review Draft, February 2005 ("Goose Creek TMDL") (attached). North Carolina's 2002 Integrated Report (305(b) reports and 303(d) lists of impaired waters) identifies the 17.0 mile segment of Goose Creek from its source to the Rocky River as impaired due to elevated/fecal coliform concentrations. `rhe proposed TMDL allocates allowable pollutant loads from known sources so that required actions may be taken to restore the water to its intended uses. The Goose Creek TMDL has several important implications for the pending application for stormwater permits within the Goose Creek watershed. The Goose Creek TMDI. allocates a 92.4% reduction in fecal coliform discharges to MS4s in order to achieve the 'TMDL necessary to restore water quality in Goose Creek to maintain existing uses. (Goose Creek TMDL. p.31). This waste load allocation specifically includes the MS4 designated areas of Mint Hill, Stallings, Indian Trail, and Hemby Bridge, all of which have pending applications for Phase II stormwater discharge permits within the Goose Creek watershed.' (Goose Creek TMDL_ p.30). LI'A requires that NPDES- regulated stormwater discharges be addressed by the waste load allocation component of a TMDL. (EPA Memorandum, Establishing Tolal Maximum Daily Load ('!'MDL) Waste Load Allocalions (WLAs) for Stormwater Sources and NPDES Permit Requirements Based on Those WL_As (November 22, 2002)(attached): see also 40 C.F.R. § 130.2(h)), "Stormwater discharges that are regulated under Phase I or Phase 11 of the NPDES Stormwater Program are point -sources that must be included in the WLA portion of a "TMDL." (EPA Memorandum p.3). "Where a'fMDL has been approved, NPDES permits must contain effluent limits and conditions consistent with the requirements and 1 Mint Hill, Stallings, Indian "frail, and Hemby Ridge have land areas of 11.2 mi'', 2.2 mil, 1.3 ini2, and 0.47 mil respectively within the Goose Creek watershed. 10096 recycled paper assumptions of the waste load allocations in the 'FMDL." (EPA Memorandum p.4; see 40 C.F.R. § 122.44(d)(1)(vii)(13)). The Goose Creek TMDL requires that permits for MS4 stormwater discharges within the Goose Creek watershed include effluent limitations and conditions that would achieve the required 92.4% reduction in fecal coliform in Goose Creek. Although the Goose Creek TMDL is not final, its purpose is to allocate waste loads for a water quality impaired stream. NPDLS stormwater discharge permits for MS4s in the 9MVd �kz3 W7watershed are water quality limited and must comply with water quality s _j ,2 . op including the water quality standard for fecal coliform. The Goose Creek TM although not final, defines the reductions in fecal coliform discharges required o achicvc'(;I;j water quality standards and thus dictates the effluent limitations and conditi% the permits must include. WEiLAN ANVVATERQ ALL BRANCHATER The proposed stormwater permit does not includes conditions or limitations that would achieve the required 92.4% reduction in fecal coliform necessary to meet water quality standards. The Goose Creek TMDL suggests measures that should be taken to attain water quality standards: The most prevalent sources of fecal coliform loading appear to be stormwater runoff from forests, agriculture, and urban land uses.... Urban sources can be addressed by the implementation of structural BMI's. Possible increased fecal coliform levels from new development can be addressed by the adoption of' post -construction ordinances that require riparian buffers and Low Impact Development (LID) techniques. Goose Creek TMDL p.32. 'these recommendations are consistent with recommendations of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission to protect special aquatic habitats discussed and summarized in our previous comments. The stormwater discharge permit must include limitations and conditions necessary to meet water quality standards, respond to the data conclusions in the Goose Creek "fMDI., and protect the endangered Carolina Heelsplitter and its critical habitat.

Wayland, III, Director.AP Office of Wetlands, Oceans and Watersheds' -'-'=' `' - R D James A. Hanlon, Director N SrpRMQU Office of Wastewater Management !tiq �� 7Y ` � �RBRgNC n y TO: Water Division Directors Regions I - 10 This memorandum clarifies existing EPA regulatory requirements for, and provides guidance on, establishing wasteload allocations (WLAs) for storm water discharges in total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) approved or established by EPA. It also addresses the establishment of water quality -based effluent limits (WQBELs) and conditions in National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits based on the WLAs for storm water discharges in TMDLs. The key points presented in this memorandum are as follows: NPDES-regulated storm water discharges must be addressed by the wasteload allocation component of a TMDL. See 40 C.F.R. § 130.2(h). NPDES-regulated storm water discharges may not be addressed by the load allocation (LA) component of a TMDL. See 40 C.F.R. § 130.2 (g) & (h). Storm water discharges from sources that are not currently subject to NPDES regulation may be addressed by the load allocation component of a TMDL. See 40 C.F.R. § 130.2(g). It may be reasonable to express allocations for NPDES-regulated storm water discharges from multiple point sources as a single categorical wastcload allocation when data and information are insufficient to assign each source or outfall individual WLAs. See 40 C.F.R. § 130.2(1). In cases where wasteload allocations Internet Address (URL) • http:llwww.epalgov Recycled/Recyclable • Printed with Vegetable Oil Based Inks on Recycled paper (Minimum 30% Postconsumer) arc developed for categories of discharges, these categories should be defined as narrowly as available information allows. The WLAs and LAs are to be expressed in numeric form in the TMDL. See 40 C.F.R. § 130.2(h) & (i). EPA expects TMDL authorities to make separate allocations to NPDES- regulated storm water discharges (in the form of WLAs) and unregulated storm water (in the form of LAs). EPA recognizes that these allocations might be fairly rudimentary because of data limitations and variability in the system. NPDES. permit conditions must be consistent with the assumptions and requirements of available WLAs. See 40 C.F.R. § 122.44(d)(1)(vii)(B). WQBELs for NPDES-regulated storm water discharges that implement WLAs in TMDLs may be expressed in the form of best management practices (BMPs) under specified circumstances. See 33 U.S.C. § 1342(p)(3)(B)(111); 40 C.F.R. § 122.44(k)(2)&(3). If BMPs alone adequately implement the WLAs, then additional controls are not necessary. EPA expects that most WQBELs for NPDES-regulated municipal and small construction storm water discharges will be in the form of BMPs, and that numeric limits will be used only in rare instances. When a non -numeric water quality -based effluent limit is imposed, the permit's administrative record, including the fact sheet when one is required, needs to support that the BMPs are expected to be sufficient to implement the WLA in the TMDL. See 40 C.F.R. §§ 124.8, 124.9 & 124.1 S. , The NPDES permit must also specify the monitoring necessary to determine compliance with effluent limitations. See'40 C.F.R. § 122.44(i). Where effluent limits are specified as BMPs, the permit should also specify the monitoring necessary to assess if the expected load reductions attributed to BMP implementation are achieved (e.g„ BMP performance data). The permit should also provide a mechanism to make adjustments to the required BMPs as necessary to ensure their adequate performance. This memorandum is organized as follows: (I). Regulatory basis for including NPDES-regulated storm water discharges in WLAs in TMDLs; (IL). Options for addressing storm water in TMDLs; and 2 (M), Determining effluent limits in NPDES permits for storm water discharges consistent with the WLA M. Regulatory Basis for Includin(,� NPDES-regulated Storm Water Dischar�es_in_WLAs in TMDLs As part of the 1987 amendments to the CWA, Congress added Section 402(p) to the Act to cover discharges composed entirely of storm water. Section 402(p)(2) of the Act requires permit coverage for discharges associated with industrial activity and discharges from large and medium municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4), i.e., systems serving a population over 250,000 or systems serving a population between 100,000 and 250,000, respectively. These discharges are referred to as Phase I MS4 discharges. In addition, the Administrator was directed to study and issue regulations that designate additional storm water discharges, other than those regulated under Phase 1, to be regulated in order to protect water quality. EPA issued regulations on December 8, 1999 (64 FR 68722), expanding the NPDES storm water program to include discharges from smaller MS4s (including all systems within "urbanized.areas" and other systems serving populations less than 100,000) and storm water discharges from construction sites that disturb one to five acres, with opportunities for area -specific exclusions. This program expansion is referred to as Phase IT. Section 402(p) also specifies the levels of control to be incorporated into NPDES storm water permits depending on the source (industrial versus municipal storm water). Permits for storm water discharges associated with industrial activity are to require compliance with all applicable provisions of Sections 301 and 402 of the CWA, i.e., all technology -based and water quality -based requirements. See 33 U.S.C. §1342(p)(3)(A). Permits for discharges from MS4s, however, "shall require controls to reduce the discharge of pollutants to the maximum extent practicable ... and such other provisions as the Administrator or the State determines appropriate for the control of such pollutants." See 33 U.S.C. § 1342(p)(3)(B)(111). Storm water discharges that are regulated under Phase I or Phase 1I of the NPDES storm water program are point sources that must be included in the WLA portion of a TMDL. See 40 C.F.R. § 130.2(h). Storm water discharges that arc not currently subject to Phase I or Phase TT of the NPDES storm water program are not required to obtain NPDES permits. 33 U.S.C. § 1342(p)(1) & (p)(6). Therefore, for regulatory purposes, they are analogous to nonpoint sources and may be included in the LA portion of a TMDL. See 40 C.F.R. § 130.2(g). (II). Options for Addressing Storm Water in TiNTDLs Decisions about allocations of pollutant loads within a TMDL are driven by the quantity and quality of existing and readily available water quality data. The amount of storm water data available for a TMDL varies from location to location. Nevertheless, EPA expects TMDL authorities will make separate aggregate allocations to NPDES-regulated storm water discharges 3 (in the form of WLAs) and unregulated storm water (in the form of LAs). It may be reasonable to quantify the allocations through estimates or extrapolations, based either on knowledge of land use patterns and associated literature values for pollutant loadings or on actual, albeit limited, loading information. EPA recognizes that these allocations might be fairly rudimentary because of data limitations. EPA also recognizes that the available data and information usually are not detailed enough to determine waste load allocations for NPDES-regulated storm water discharges on an outfall-specific basis. :In this situation, EPA recommends expressing the wasteload allocation in the TMDL as either a single number for all NPDES-regulated storm water discharges, or when information allows, as different WLAs for different identifiable categories, g.&., municipal storm water as distinguished from storm water discharges from construction sites or municipal storm water discharges from City A as distinguished from City B. These categories should be defined as narrowly as available information allows (e.g., for municipalities, separate WLAs for each municipality and for industrial sources, separate WLAs for different types of industrial storm water sources or dischargers). (III). Determining .Effluent Limits in NPDES Permits for Storm Water Discharges Consistent with the WLA Where a TMDL has been approved, NPDES permits must contain effluent limits and conditions consistent with the requirements and assumptions of the wasteload allocations in the TMDL. See 40 CFR § 122.44(d)(1)(vii)(B). Effluent limitations to control the discharge of pollutants generally are expressed in numerical form. However, in light of 33 U.S.C. § 1342(p)(3)(B)(iii), EPA recommends that for NPDES-regulated municipal and small construction storm water discharges effluent limits should be expressed as best management practices (BMPs) or other similar requirements, rather than as numeric effluent limits. See Interim Permitting Approach for Water Quality -Based Effluent Limitations in Storm Water Permits, 61 FR 43761 (Aug. 26, 1996). The Interim Permitting Approach Policy recognizes the need for an iterative approach to control pollutants in storm water discharges. Specifically, the policy anticipates that a suite of BMPs will be used in the initial rounds of permits and that these BMPs will be tailored in subsequent rounds. EPA's policy recognizes that because storm water discharges are due to storm events that are highly variable in frequency and duration and are not easily characterized, only in rare cases will it be feasible or appropriate to establish numeric limits for municipal and small construction storm water discharges. The variability in the system and minimal data generally available make it difficult to determine with precision or certainty actual and projected loadings for individual dischargers or groups of dischargers. Therefore, EPA believes that in these situations, permit limits typically can be expressed as BMPs, and that numeric limits will be used only in rare instances. 4 Under certain circumstances, BMPs are an appropriate form of effluent limits to control pollutants in storm water. See 40 CFR § 122.44(k)(2) & (3). If it is determined that a BMP approach (including an iterative BMP approach) is appropriate to meet the storm water component of the TMDL, EPA recommends that the TMDL reflect this. EPA expects that the NPDES permitting authority will review the information provided by the TMDL, see 40 C.F.R. § 122.44(d)(1)(vii)(B), and determine whether the effluent limit is appropriately expressed using a BMP approach (including an iterative BMP approach) or a numeric limit. Where BMPs are used, EPA recommends that the permit provide a mechanism to require use of expanded or better -tailored BMPs when monitoring demonstrates they are necessary to implement the WLA and protect water quality. Where the NPDES permitting authority allows for a choice of BMPs, a discussion of the BMP selection and assumptions needs to be included in the permit's administrative record, including the fact sheet when one is required. 40 C.F.R.§§ 124.8, 124.9 & 124.18. For general permits, this may be included in the storm water pollution prevention plan required by the permit. See 40 C.F.R. § 122.28. Permitting authorities may require the permittee to provide supporting information, such as how the permittee designed its management plan to address the WLA(s). See 40 C.F.R. § 122.28. The NPDES permit must require the monitoring necessary to assure compliance with permit limitations, although the permitting authority has the discretion under EPA's regulations to decide the frequency of such monitoring. See 40 CFR § 122.44(1). EPA recommends that such permits.require collecting data on the actual performance of the BMPs. These additional data may provide a basis for revised management measures. The monitoring data are likely to have other uses as well. For example, the monitoring data might indicate if it is necessary to adjust the BMPs. Any monitoring for storm water required as part of the permit should be consistent with the state's overall assessment and monitoring strategy. The policy outlined in this memorandum affirms the appropriateness of an iterative, adaptive management BMP approach, whereby permits include effluent limits (ems., a combination of structural and non-structural BMPs) that address storm water discharges, implement mechanisms to evaluate the performance of such controls, and make adjustments i.e., more stringent controls or specific BMPs) as necessary to protect water quality. This approach is further supported by the recent report from the National Research Council (NRC), Assessing the TMDL Approach to Water Quality Management (National Academy Press, 2001). The NRC report recommends an approach that includes "adaptive implementation," i.e., "a cyclical process in which TMDL plans are periodically assessed for their achievement of water quality standards" ... and adjustments made as necessary. NRC Report at ES-5. This memorandum discusses existing requirements of the Clean Water Act (CWA) and codified in the TMDL and NPDES implementing regulations. Those CWA provisions and regulations contain legally binding requirements. This document describes these requirements; it does not substitute for those provisions or regulations. The recommendations in this memorandum are not binding; indeed, there may be other approaches that would be appropriate in particular situations. When EPA makes a TMDL or permitting decision, it will make each decision on a case -by -case basis and will be guided by the applicable requirements of the CWA and implementing regulations, taking into account comments and information presented at that time by interested persons regarding the appropriateness of applying these recommendations to the particular situation. EPA may change this guidance in the future.

The 2002 list identified the t7.0 mile segment of Goose Creek from its source to the Rocky River as impaired due to elevated Fecal coliform concentrations. The objective of this study is to develop a fecal coliform TMDL using a watershed approach for Goose Creek, This TMDL encompasses all the stream segments listed in the 2002 303(d) list for this watershed. 1n response to the high level of interest in this TMDL fiom local government officials and concerned citizens, a stakeholder group was formed in 2003. The stakeholder group, lead by the Mecklenburg County Water Quality Program (MCWQP) and the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ), took an active role in the TMDL development process. MCWQP has a well developed and respected water quality management program and was able to take the lead role in both the source assessment and model development. 1.1 Background Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) requires states to develop a list of waters not meeting water quality standards or which have impaired uses. This list, referred to as the 303(d) list, is submitted biennially to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for review. The 303(d) process requires that a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) be developed for each of the waters appearing on Part I of the 303(d) list. The objective of a TMDL is to allocate allowable pollutant loads to known sources so that actions may be taken to restore the water to its intended uses (EPA 1991). Generally, the primary components of a TMDL, as identified by EPA (1991, 2000) and the Federal Advisory Committee (FACA 1998), are as follows: Target identification or selection of pollutant(s) and end-point(s) for consideration. The pollutant and end -point are generally associated with measurable water quality related characteristics that indicate compliance with water quality standards. North Carolina indicates known pollutants on the 303(d) list. Source assessment. All sources that contribute to the impairment should be identified and loads quantified, where sufficient data exist. Assimilative capacity estimation or level of pollutant reduction needed to achieve the water quality goal. The level of pollution should be characterized for the waterbody, highlighting how current conditions deviate from the target end -point. Generally, this component is identified through water quality modeling. Allocation ofpollutant loads. Allocating pollutant control responsibility to the sources of impairment. The wasteload allocation portion of the TMDL accounts for the loads associated with existing and future point sources. Similarly, the load allocation portion of the TMDL accounts for the loads associated with existing and future non -point sources, storm water, and natural background. Margin of safety. The margin of safety addresses uncertainties associated with pollutant loads, modeling techniques, and data collection. Per EPA (2000), the margin of safety may be expressed explicitly as unallocated assimilative capacity or implicitly due to conservative assumptions. Seasonal variation. The TMDL should consider seasonal variation in the pollutant loads and endpoint. Variability can arise due to stream flows, temperatures, and exceptional events (e.g., droughts, hurricanes). Section 303(d) of the CWA and the Water Quality Planning and Management regulation (USEPA -1- Goose Creek Fecal Coliform TMDL Public Review Draft February 2005 2000a) require EPA to review ail TMDLs for approval or disapproval. Once EPA approves a TMDL, the waterbody may be moved to Part III of the 303(d) list. Waterbodies remain on Category 4a of the list until compliance with water quality standards is achieved. Where conditions are not appropriate for the development of a TMDL, management strategies may still result in the restoration of water quality. The goal of the TMDL program is to restore uses to water bodies. Thus the implementation of bacterial controls will be necessary to restore uses in these creeks. Although an implementation plan is not included in this TMDL, reduction strategies are needed. The involvement of local governments and agencies will be needed in order to develop implementation plans. 1.2 Watershed Description The Goose Creek watershed is located in Mecklenburg County and Union County, North Carolina. The headwaters of the watershed originate in Mecklenburg County and flow into Union County, North Carolina and into the Rocky River. Stevens and Duck Creeks, which originate in Mecklenburg County, are both tributaries to Goose Creek. Stevens Creek flows into Goose Creek at the Mecklenburg -Union County line west of Stevens Mill Rd. while Duck Creck joins Goose Creek just upstream of Brief Rd: Figure l shows the location of the Goose Creek watershed within Mecklenburg and Union Counties.

Water quality and quantity data is collected at multiple locations by different agencies. For the purposes of assessing TMDL compliance, the DWQ ambient monitoring station on Goose Creek was used (Q8360000). The location of this monitoring station is illustrated in Figure 2. Other monitoring is discussed below.

MCWQP maintains a monitoring location on both Goose and Stevens Creeks. The USGS maintains a flow gauge located in Goose Creek and a data summary are presented in Table 1.

Note that there are two quantitative criteria in the standard: Geometric mean of 200 and an instantaneous value of 400. All TMDLs include the establishment of in -stream numeric endpoints, or targets, used to evaluate the attainment of water quality goals and designated use criteria. The target represents the restoration objective to be achieved by implementation of the load reductions specified by the TMDL. For the TMDLs presented in this document, the fecal coliform 30-day geometric mean of 200 c.f.u.1100 ml. with no more than 20 percent of samples exceeding 400 c.f.u./100 ml. is applicable, as referenced in NC's water quality standard for fecal coliform in Class C waters (15ANCAC 2B .0211 (3)(e)). Secondary recreation is the designated use being addressed in this TMDL. Secondary recreation is defined in NC's standards (15A NCAC 2B .0202 (57)) as including "wading, boating, other uses not involving human body contact with water, and activities involving human body contact with water where such activities take place on an infrequent, unorganized, or incidental basis." One compliance point has been established for this TMDL, representing the DWQ ambient monitoring station located in the watershed. Compliance points are physical locations within a watershed that are used to monitor water quality conditions and assess progress in achieving the TMDL goal. 1.5 Water Quality Assessment Phase I water quality monitoring was collected at a total of twenty sites, including five wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) (See Figure 2). Phase I monitoring was conducted between June 2003 and December 2003. Table 6 provides the location and a site description for the Phase I monitoring sites located on Duck and Goose Creeks. Seventy-five samples were collected from three sites in the Duck Creek watershed and 172 samples, from seven locations, were collected in the Goose Creek watershed. Fifty-seven samples were collected from five WWTPs. The median and average fecal coliform concentrations for the Duck Creek samples were 530 and 1923 colonies/100 ml, respectively (Figure 3). The median concentration for the Goose Creek samples was 510 colonies/100 ml and the average concentration was 1954 colonies/100 ml (Figure 4). -4- Goose Creek Feca/ Coliform TMDL Public Review Draft February 2005 Figure 3.Duck Creek Fecal CuUboonDuta -Average Concen- 20000 3.5 3 ID 2.5 1.5 0/1/2003 7721/2003 9/8/2003 10C29/2002 12/1882003 Date -5- Goose Creek Fecal Coliform TMDL Public Review Draft February 20Q5 Figure 4.

For the purpose of this report, the sources of fecal coliform have been divided into two broad categories; point sources and non -point sources. Point sources can be defined as sources, either constant or time transient, which occur at a fixed location in a watershed. Non -point sources are generally accepted to be diffuse sources not entering a water body at a specific location. An example of a point source is wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). Examples of non -point sources are storm water runoff, dry weather flow from storm drains and ground water. The source assessment presented in this document represents the best estimation of the sources of fecal coliform in the TMDL watershed at this time. Additional investigation into the sources and distribution of sources of fecal coliform is critical to achieving the water quality target. Therefore, it is expected that, in the future, the source assessment will be modified to reflect additional data. Specifically, there needs to be a better understanding of seasonal changes and variation in the watershed. 2.1 Point Source Assessment All documented point source dischargers were included in the source assessment except the Fairfield Elementary School WWTP, which was not sampled. Actual discharge values for fecal Goose Creek Fecal Coliform TMDL Public Review Draft February 2005 coliform concentration and effluent flow rates were used throughout the TMDL. In the absence of direct measurements, permit limit values were used. Furthermore, it was assumed that discharges recorded during 2003 are typical and effectively estimate future conditions. 2.1..1 NPDES Permitted Dischargers Table 2 identifies the permitted NPDES point source dischargers in the Goose Creek Watershed. Figure 2 is a map of the watershed showing the locations of the permitted point source dischargers_ Discharge Monitoring Reports were obtained for each NPDES permitted discharger from January 2003 to May 2004. From these reports an average flow rate and hourly fecal coliform loading rate was determined. Table 2 presents this data for each of the NPDES permitted dischargers.

The NPDES Phase I rule requires large and medium municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) greater than 100,000 people to obtain an NPDES storm water permit. The NPDES Phase II addressed small municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) serving a population of less than 100,000 people in urbanized areas. This rile applies to a unit of government such as a city or county, which owns or operates an MS4. Each permitted entity is required to develop a Storm Management Program (SWMP). Within the Goose Creek Watershed four municipalities have been designated into the Phase II program. These municipalities are Stallings, Indian Trail and Hemby Bridge within Union County and Mint Hill within Mecklenburg County. In addition to the aforementioned municipalities Mecklenburg County has also been designated into the Phase II program. The land areas of Stallings, Indian Trail and Hemby Bridge within the Goose Creek Watershed are 2.2 miz, 1.3 mi2 and 0.47 miz respectively. The land area of Mint Hill within the Goose Creek Watershed is l 1.2 mil. The land area of the Goose Creek Watershed within Mecklenburg County is completely contained within Mint Hill's jurisdiction. A recent EPA mandate (Wayland, 2002) requires NPDES permitted stormwater to be placed in the wastload allocation (WLA), which had previously been reserved for continuous point source wastewater loads. Since portions of the Goose Creek Watershed are subject to MS4 permits, the WLA in the Goose Creek TMDL will include loads from both continuous discharge facilities and wet weather discharges. Goose Creek Fecal Coliform TMDL Public Review Draft February 2005 2.2 Non -Point Source Assessment Typically, assessment of the contribution of storm water runoff is based upon estimations of wildlife, agricultural operations and typical accumulation rates on built up (urban) areas. _ However, for this report, build-up and wash off rates for each land -use in the TMDL watersheds were adopted from a highly calibrated water quality model for the McDowell Creek Watershed (located approximately 15 miles to the northwest of the Goose Creek Watershed) (Tetra Tech, 2003). Originally, these values were calculated from local in -stream storm water samples collected by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from December 1993 to September 1997 (Bales et. Al, 1999). The calculated values were adjusted to obtain necessary calibration tolerances for the McDowell Creek Model. These values were directly integrated into the Goose Creek Watershed model. Table 3 presents the build-up and maximum accumulation levels used in this study. Table 3: Rate of Accumulation and Maximum Storage of Fecal Coliform by Land -Use.

Previous studies have used failure rate values ranging from 4% to 50% of all septic systems. The Mecklenburg County Health Department has estimated the local septic system failure rate to be 1%, (Daniel, 2000). The Health Department cited the following reasons for this estimate (Daniel, 2000): • In general, Mecklenburg County soils are highly conducive to septic system operation; • Areas where soil types are not conducive to septic system operation have been excluded from septic system use and existing systems in these areas have been targeted for integration into the CMU sanitary sewer system; and • Mecklenburg County has been a leader in enacting septic system regulation in North Carolina, which has prevented the installation of sub -standard systems. Many stakeholders, including Charlotte Mecklenburg Utilities, have questioned the validity of a 1% failure rate for septic systems. Personal observations and anecdotal evidence appear to indicate a much higher value. However, no documentation of a local investigation to establish a more accurate or reproducible value exists. Because of the lack of direct evidence to refute the 1% value cited by the Health Department, that value was initially adopted for the TMDLs presented in this document. However, during water quality model calibration the simulated fecal coliform concentrations during baseflow conditions were consistently lower than observed data. Because of the discrepancy in observed versus simulated, the septic system failure rate was increased to 2.4%. It is possible that the discrepancy could be due to wildlife sources that were unaccounted for in the model. However, direct inputs of fecal coliform bacteria by wildlife during baseflow conditions could not be directly accounted for in the model. No direct accounting of the number of septic systems in use in the Goose Creek Watershed was available. An estimate of the possible number of septic systems was completed through analysis of Mecklenburg County and Union County parcel data. Essentially, a listing of all parcels was amassed, each meeting the following criteria: 1. The parcel must be at least 2 acres. The basic requirement of space for the septic system and repair field was used to eliminate parcels less than 2 acres. 2. The parcel must be built upon. Database fields in the parcel coverage indicated the presence of buildings. Any indication of a building was assumed to indicate the necessity of a septic system. 3. The parcel must not be located in an area known to be served by a wastewater treatment plant. The resultant parcel coverage meeting the aforementioned criteria was then intersected with the watershed coverage used to construct the water quality model. Those parcels bisected by a watershed boundary were assumed to be located in the watershed containing the bulk of the parcel. An estimated 2.8 individuals were served by each septic system (Daniel, 2000), an estimated flow rate per person of 70 gallons per individual per day (Horsely.and Witten, 1996) and an estimated fecal conform concentration of 10,000 c.f.u./100 nil (Horsely and Whitten, EN! Goose Creek Fecal Coliform TMDL Public Review Draft February 2005 1996) were used to calculate the loading and flow rates.

Literature values for fecal Coliform concentration in ground water range from <10 to over 1000 e.f.u.1100 ml. Initially a groundwater concentration of 35 e.f.u./100 ml was adopted (HSPF default value). However, during the calibration process simulated fecal Coliform concentrations during base flow were consistently lower than observed values. Because of the discrepancy, the value was raised to 50 e.f.u./100 ml for the model. It is possible that the discrepancy could be due to wildlife sources that were unaccounted for in the model. However, direct inputs of fecal coliform bacteria by wildlife during baseflow conditions could not be directly accounted for in the model. 2.3 Water Quality Monitoring Phase I of the Goose Creek Source Assessment Strategy was initiated in June 2003 and was concluded on December 2003. A total of 304 samples were collected from 15 sites (including five (5) waste water treatment plants) during the sampling period. Table 6 presents a total of ten (10) sites that were identified as being representative of the varying land uses present in the Duck/Stevens/Goose Creek watersheds. The sites are mapped on Figure 2. All baseline monitoring sites listed in Table 5 were sampled weekly for fecal Coliform and E. coli. -14- Goose Creek Fecal Coliform TMDL Public Review Draft February 2005 Table 6: Goose/Stevens Creek TMDL Source Assessment Monitoring Sites.

The Goose Creek Phase 1I source assessment monitored specific land uses to determine baseline conditions. The Phase II monitoring was used to help determine to what extent livestock and septic tanks are contributing to fecal coliform loads in Goose Creek. A total of five (5) sites were identified that are representative of the targeted land uses present in the Goose Creek watershed as listed in Table 7 and shown in Figure 2. The monitoring sites are located upstream and downstream of a cattle operation, downstream of a horse farm, downstream of an area where chicken waste has been land applied and downstream of a residential area that utilizes septic systems. The sites are mapped on Figure 2. Phase 1I monitoring sites were sampled weekly for fecal coliform and E. coli for a period of six (6) weeks between February and March 2004. -15- Goose Creek Fecal Coliform TMDL Public Review Draft February 2005 Table 7: Goose/Stevens Creek TMDL Phase II Source Assessment Monitoring Sites.

BST analysis was conducted by MapTech Inc. in their Blacksburg, VA laboratory. One hundred thirty six known source isolates from 17 livestock fecal samples collected in the Goose Creek watershed were combined with 168 known source isolates from 21 human and wildlife fecal samples previously collected in the Little Sugar Creek watershed. The isolates were analyzed to develop a library for discriminating between human, livestock and wildlife resources of E. coli bacteria. The livestock sample included 6 each from cattle and horses, and 5 from poultry. Eighty-eight human isolates were extracted from I 1 samples. The 80 wildlife isolates were collected from 1 sample each of rabbit, deer, goose, raccoon and fox, 2 samples from squirrel and 3 from ducks. Statistical analysis of the resulting data showed a 76% correct classification rate. This is slightly below the Division of Water Quality's preferred level of correct classification (> 80%). One thousand three hundred forty unknown isolates from five sampling locations were analyzed using the database developed with the known sources. The BST monitoring sites are shown on Figure 2. Results of the analysis are given in Table 8 and graphed in Figure 7. The results indicate that a significant number of the isolates are from livestock and wildlife.

HSPF was selected for the following reasons: 1. Mecklenburg County has constructed several tools within its WISe system to mine data for direct input to HSPF. These tools allow for the relatively rapid parameterization of basic 1-ISPF input decks with up to date local information. Namely, the datasets include topography, land -use, land -cover and impervious area. 2. Mecklenburg County staff has significant experience preparing HSPF models as well as supervising consultant preparation of HSPF models. This experience provides and ability to cross check model parameters to other calibrated models. To date, HSPF models have been prepared for the following watersheds in Mecklenburg County: McDowell Creek: A FISPF model was prepared for McDowell Creek to determine the effects of runoff on downstream water quality (Tetra Tech, 2003). Modeled parameters included fecal coliform bacteria, temperature and sediment Sugar, Little Sugar and McAlpine Creeks: HSPF models were prepared for fecal coliform TMDL calculations in the Sugar, Little Sugar and McAlpine Creek watersheds (MCDEP, 2002). Modeled parameters included fecal coliform bacteria and temperature. 3. 1-ISPF is a spatially distributed, lumped parameter, continuous simulation model used to model water quality conditions in watersheds and river basins. HSPF calculates non -point source loadings of selected pollutants for specified land use categories in a -18- Goose Creek Fecal Coliform TMDL Public Review Draft February 2005 watershed; represents subsequent pollutant runoff response to hydrologic influences, such as precipitation; simulates point sources as constant or variable flow and load; and simulates flow and pollutant routing through a stream network. These capabilities make it well suited to modeling a largely rural watershed where non - point sources of pollution are likely to outweigh point sources. . For the Goose Creek watershed model the following elements of the model were used: Pervious Land: ATEMP — Air Temperature Elevation Difference SNOW — Accumulation and Melting of Snow and Ice PWATER — Water Budget Pervious SEDMNT — Production and Removal of Sediment PQUAL — Quality Constituents Using Simple Relationships Impervious Land: ATEMP—Air Temperature Elevation Difference SNOW — Accumulation and Melting of Snow and Ice IWATER — Water Budget Impervious SOLIDS — Accumulation and Removal of Solids IQUAL — Quality Constituents Using Simple Relationships Reaches/Reservoirs: HYDR—Hydraulic Behavior ADCALC — Advection of Fully Entrained Constituents I-ITRCH — Heat Exchange and Water Temperature SEDTRN — Behavior of Inorganic Sediment GQUAL — Generalized Quality Constituents 3.2 Model Setup Figure 8 shows the sub -watershed delineations for the Goose Creek Watershed. Sub -watershed delineation was based upon factors such as the presence of a USGS gauging station, presence of a water quality monitoring site, presence of a NCDENR compliance point and confluence of major stream segments. Sub -watershed delineation, stream cross section geometry, slope and length were determined using Mecklenburg County's version of the Watershed Information System, which is a GIS based application that allows the manipulation of digital elevation data for modeling applications. Locally developed land use data (based upon individual land parcels) was simplified and used for model preparation. For the portion of the watershed in Mecklenburg County, 2004 land -used data generated from individual parcels was used. For the parts of the watershed in Union County, 2003 parcel data in combination with 2001 aerial photography was used. Table 9 shows the land uses applied in the TMDL model along with percent imperviousness and total area of each land use represented. Figure 9 shows the distribution of the land uses throughout the watershed. Meteorological data was adopted from Charlotte/Douglas International Airport. - 19- Goose Creek Fecal Coliform TMDL Public Review Draft February 2005 Figure 8: Goose Creek Watershed Delineations Table 9.

Certain non -point source categories are not associated with land loading processes and are represented as direct, in -stream source contributions in the model. These include failing septic systems. Land loading non -point sources are represented as indirect contributions to the stream through build-up and wash -off processes (see Section 2.2 above). The following sections describe the assumptions used for the various sources described in Section 2.0. 3.3.1 NPDES Discharges There are 5 NPDES point source dischargers in the Goose Creek Watershed. All NPDES dischargers were represented in the model as constant (do not vary with time) sources of both flow and fecal coliform. The fecal coliform loading and discharge rate were determined from Discharge Monitoring Reports filed for each of the facilities. Long term average flow and fecal coliform concentrations were used to determine the continuous inputs for the model. -21 - Goose Greek Fecal Coliform TMDL Public Review Draft February 3.3.2 Land Use Fecal coliform loading from urban areas was represented in the model as both pervious and impervious surfaces. Typically, urban loading rates are adjusted as a primary calibration parameter in the water quality model. However, for the water quality model developed for the TMDL watershed discussed in this report, loading rates were determined from a highly calibrated HSPF model prepared by Tetra Tech, Inc. for the McDowell Creek Watershed (approximately 15 miles to the Northwest). The loading values used for the Goose Creek watershed model are presented in the calibrated HSPF *.uci file included as Appendix B. 3.3.3 railing Septic Systems Fecal coliform loading values from failing septic systems were input to the water quality model as continuous point sources by sub -watershed. The fecal coliform loading rates are presented in Section 2.2.1 above. 3.4 Model Calibration Calibration of a dynamic loading model involves both hydrologic and water quality components. The model must be calibrated to accurately represent hydrologic response in the watershed before reasonable water quality simulations can be performed. The hydrologic calibration involves comparison of simulated stream -flows to observed stream -flow data from stream gauging stations in the watershed. Simulated stream -flows are generated by the model using both meteorological data and the physical characteristics of the watershed. Typically, certain model parameters are altered until a reasonable match is developed between simulated and observed stream flow. Similar techniques are used to calibrate the water quality portion of the model. Hydrologic and water quality calibration for the Goose Creek watershed model was limited from January 1, 2000—June 1, 2004. Significant recent land -use changes occurred which would substantially impact flow and water quality; therefore, the calibration was limited to this time period. The calibrated water quality model (*.uci file) is included as Appendix B. A condensed presentation of the hydrologic calibration data is included as Table 10 for the Goose Creek watershed. Much of the difference presented in Table 10 may be attributable to the use of a single rain gage. Table 11 presents the temperature calibration statistics for Goose Creek at SR 1524. Table 12 presents the fecal coliform calibration statistics for Goose Creek at SR 1524. Figures 10 and I I are Cartesian and Frequency Distribution plots of the hydrologic calibration for the Goose Creek watershed model, respectively. Figure 12 is a plot of the water quality (fecal coliform) calibration for the Goose Creek Watershed (at SR 1524). Figure 13 is a plot of the simulated fecal coliform concentration presented as a 30-clay geometric mean. -22- Goose Creek Fecal Coliform TMDL Public Review Draft February 2005 Table 10: Basic Hydrologic Calibration Data for Goose Creek at Hwy 601.

Al., 1994). Similarly, for water quality calibration, model parameters (primarily the first order decay coefficient) were adjusted until the closest match of simulated and observed concentrations were made. The closeness of the match was evaluated using the sum of the squares of the differences between simulated and observed values. The model was evaluated by sources outside Mecklenburg County for reasonableness, completeness and basis in reality.

Grand Total 1,522,600 100.00% An interpretation of the results presented in Table 14 indicates that non -point source runoff is by far the largest contributor of fecal coliform in the Goose Creek Watershed. It is critical to note, however, that as flows in Goose Creek approach 0, fecal loading from ground water, septic systems and point sources greatly impacts in -stream fecal coliform concentrations. Typically, the highest fecal coliform concentrations predicted by the WinHSPF model occurred during runoff events. However, several high concentrations of simulated fecal coliform were noted during low flow conditions. This may partially be the result of very dry conditions, particularly during the summer/fall of 2002, which caused the model to nearly "dry up." Although similar conditions are witnessed in the USGS gage history, the model tended to under -predict stream flow during extended periods without rain. -27- Goose Creek Fecal Coliform TMDL Public Review Draft February 2005 3.5.2 Critical Conditions Results of the three and a half year long water quality simulation of the 30-day geometric mean concentration for existing conditions at SR 1524 and Goose Creek are presented in Figure 13. Critical conditions (period of maximum exceedance) for the watershed occurred on 03/06/2003, which was the result of several runoff events, which occurred in rapid succession. The date of maximum exceedance and predicted in -stream fecal concentration are presented in Table 15.

Grand Total 129,344.4 100.00% 4.0 Allocation 4.1 'Total Maximum Daily Load The TMDL process quantifies the amount of a pollutant that can be assimilated by a water body, identifies the sources of the pollutant, and recommends regulatory or other actions to be taken to achieve compliance with applicable water quality standards based on the relationship between pollution sources and in -stream water quality conditions. A TMDL can be expressed as the sum of all point source loads (Waste Load Allocations [WLAs]), non -point source loads (Load Allocations [LA]), and an appropriate margin of safety (MOS), which takes into account any lack of knowledge concerning the relationship between the effluent limitations and water quality: TMDL = I WLAs + Y, LAs + NIOS The objective of a TMDL is to allocate loads among all of the known pollutant sources throughout a watershed so that appropriate control measures can be implemented and water quality standards achieved. 40 CFR § 130.2 (I) states that TMDLs can be expressed in terms of mass per time, toxicity, or other appropriate measure. For fecal coliform, TNtDLs are expressed as counts per 30 days to be consistent with the water quality standard. Therefore, the TMDL represents the maximum fecal coliform load that can be assimilated by the stream during the critical 30 day period while maintaining the fecal coliform water quality standard of the geometric mean of 200 c.f.u./100 ml over 30 days. -28- Goose Creek Fecal Coliform TMDL Public Review Draft February 2005 In November 2002 EPA headquarters published guidance which clarifies the regulatory requirements for establishing wasteload allocations for stormwater discharges (USEPA, 2002). In summary, this guidance states that sources which are transported to a stream via a NPDES regulated stormwater system must be considered point sources, and thus be addressed in the wasteload allocation component of a T1VIDL. Since Goose Creek watershed (or part of the watershed) is located in an NPDES Phase 11 community, pollutant loads, which are discharged to a stream reach via the stormwater conveyance system, must be considered as point sources. The total maximum daily load of fecal Coliform was determined by adding the WLA and LA. A 10% MOS was explicitly included in the TMDL analysis, functionally this made the standard 180 c1u./100 ml. To determine the TMDL, all permitted NPDES dischargers were modeled at permitted levels of flow and fecal Coliform. These values are presented in Table 2. Model runs to determine the TMDL with NPDES dischargers at permitted levels resulted in an inability to meet the water quality standard at SR1524 during the summer of 2002. This is largely because of extreme drought conditions that existed across the North Carolina Piedmont during this time. Essentially this caused the NPDES dischargers to comprise nearly all of the flow in Goose Creek at 1524, which rendered the 180 c.f.u./100 nil (includes 10% MOS) standard to be unachievable. In order to determine the TMDL an analysis suggested by NC DENR DWQ staff to exclude the lowest flows from the TMDL analysis was performed. Unfortunately, the USGS gage in the Goose Creek Watershed (02124692) had not been in existence for the minimum 10 years to accomplish the analysis. For this reason, a nearby stream gage with a long flow history (USGS Gage #0214657975) was analyzed to determine the lowest 5% of flows at that gage. A correlation of the observed flows at USGS Gage 02124692 with the observed flows at USGS Gage 0214657975 is presented as Figure 14. The drainage area upstream of USGS Gage #0214657975 (39.6 miz) was compared to the drainage area upstream of SR1524 (8.69 mil) to determine the drainage area ratio. The drainage area ratio was then used to calculate the flow in Goose Creek that would be exceeded 95% of the time. The results of this analysis are presented in Table 17. Using the value determined from the analysis, all modeled flows at or below 0.6 c.f.s. were excluded from the TMDL analysis. The TMDL,, excluding modeled flows at or below 0.6 c.£s, is listed in Table 18.

All values in Table 14 reflect the shift. In addition to the 30-day geometric mean standard, the daily model output was also evaluated for compliance with the 400/100 ml in more than 20 percent of the samples portion of the standard. For this evaluation model output (with flows excluded) was evaluated for the number of predicted in -stream concentrations in excess of 360 c.f.u./ 100 ml (400 c.f.u.1100 ml plus a 10% MOS equates to an effective standard of 360 c.f.u./100 ml) during any 30-day period. The standard was interpreted to mean that only 6 exceedances of 400 c.f.u.1100 m1 daring any 30 day period would be considered compliant with the standard and that 7 exceedances would be considered non compliant. The maximum number of exceedances of the 400 c.f.u.1100 ml standard in model output (flows excluded) was 6. Therefore, the TMDL as presented was considered to be compliant with both parts of the standard. 4.2 Waste Load Allocations (Point Sources) The WLA for the Goose Creek Watershed is identical to the existing Waste Load Allocation. In other words, for the TMDL current conditions should be maintained. Several of the point source dischargers discharge fecal coliform at levels much less than their permit allows. If these dischargers increase the level of fecal coliform in their effluent to permitted levels, it is likely the TMDL presented here would not be met. In addition to permitted point source dischargers, MS4 communities required to obtain a Phase II Storm Water Permit are included in the WLA. Table 19 presents the percent reductions for the MS4 areas in the Goose Creek Watershed. Table 19: Percent Reduction for MS4 Areas to Achieve TMDL.

Modeling results indicate the vast majority of fecal coliform loading is from build-up and wash -off of pollutants from the land surface. Because of this, the TMDL has focused on this source. Table 20 presents the percent reductions needed from the major allocation categories to meet the TMDL requirements. Table 21 presents the TMDL components necessary to meet the water quality target. Figure 15 displays the 30 geometric mean fecal coliform concentration for the Goose Creek Watershed for both current conditions and TMDL conditions. Note that the day exhibiting the highest 30 geometric mean concentration during current conditions (with permitted dischargers discharging at permit limits) was 03/06/2003. This 30-day period was typified by higher than average flows with several runoff events. After the load reductions necessary to achieve the water quality standard were input to the model the period of maximum exceedance shifted to 07/07/2002 (30 day geometric mean value of 177), which was a period of very low flows dominated by WWTP effluent and ground water flow to the stream. The cause of the shift was the drastic reduction of NPS fecal coliform in the model to achieve the water quality standard. This drastic reduction shifted the critical condition from a 30-day period of wet weather (NPS dominated sources of fecal coliform) to a 30-day period of dry weather (WWTP dominated sources of fecal coliform).

The intent of meeting the criteria is to support the designated use classifications in the watershed. A detailed implementation plan is not included in this TNLDL. The involvement of local land owners and agencies will be needed in order to develop an implementation plan. In general, reductions in fecal coliform loads should be sought through identification and installation of additional agricultural and urban BM.Ps to reduce loads during runoff events. 6.0 Stream Ylonitoring NCDENR will continue monthly monitoring on Stevens Mill Rd. in Union County. MCWQP will continue monthly fecal coliform monitoring on Stevens Creek at Thompson Rd. and on Goose Creek at Country Woods Dr. The continued monitoring of fecal coliform will allow for the evaluation of progress towards the goal of achieving water quality standards and intended best uses. Moreover the Storm Water Management Program (SWMP) required in MS4 permits is a good means of achieving the continued and enhanced monitoring. 7.0 Future Efforts The most prevalent sources of fecal coliform loading appear to be storm water runoff from forest, agriculture and urban land uses. Addressing the agricultural sources will require voluntary adoption of BMPs, facilitated by existing cost -share programs and educational efforts. Urban sources can be addressed by the implementation of structural BMPs. Possible increased fecal coliform levels from new development can be addressed by the adoption of post construction ordinances that require riparian buffers and Low Impact Development (LID) techniques. -32- Goose Creek Fecal Coliform TMDL Public Review Draft February 2005 8.0 Public Participation Mecklenburg County involved an interactive stakeholder group involving individuals representing diverse community interests from the Mecklenburg and Union Counties, Charlotte Mecklenburg Utilities, Sierra Club, DENR-DWQ, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, local developers, and community members.

All letters have significant exhibits, which are attached to the hard copies that were mailed yesterday. We remain disappointed that North Carolina's Phase II Stormwater Program will have no beneficial impact on water quality and concerned that the permits authorize discharges that contravene the Clean Water Act and state law. As discussed in more detail in the letters, discharges of stormwater pursuant to the general permits and the individual permits, especially to sensitive waters and waters providing aquatic habitat for endangered species, likely will cause water quality violations and degradation of existing uses. Furthermore, the Department's decision to deem existing stormwater programs compliant with the Phase II post -construction standards is particularly troubling, and clearly violates federal law and the Phase II session law. As you review our letters, please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.

Our comments focus on the effects of the proposed stormwater permit on the endangered Carolina heelsplitter (Lasmrgona decorata) and the obligations of the Division of Water Quality ("DWQ") to issue the permit with adequate protection of the species. These comments are submitted on behalf of the North Carolina Wildlife Federation and the Sierra Club. The Southern Environmental Law Center ("SELC") is a non-profit legal advocacy group dedicated to protecting the environment of the South. SELC works with more than 100 partner groups in its six state coverage area. SELC has been actively involved in a variety of efforts to improve water quality in the Swift Creek watershed, including work on protections for the Carolina heelsplitter. To that end, we are closely involved with the efforts of local environmental groups to protect water quality and the habitat of the Carolina heelsplitter in the Goose Creek watershed. The Sierra Club is the nation's oldest grassroots environmental organization. Alone among environmental groups, it is organized at the national, regional, state and local levels. The North Carolina Chapter was formed in 1977, after having been part. of the North/South Carolina LeConte Chapter since 197 t. The North Carolina Chapter has 17,000 members in 13 local groups across the state. The mission of the Sierra Club is to explore, enjoy, and protect the wild places of the earth; to practice and promote the responsible use of the earth's ecosystems and resources; to educate and enlist humanity to protect the quality of the natural and human environment; and to use all lawful means to carry out these objectives. To those ends, the Sierra Club has been very involved in efforts to protect endangered mussel habitat in North Carolina. The North Carolina Wildlife Federation ("NCWF") is a non-profit environmental advocacy group working to protect wildlife and natural habitats in North Carolina. The mission of NCWF is to be the leading advocate for all North Carolina wildlife and its habitat. The goals of NCWF are to advocate the conservation and enhancement of all wildlife and its habitat; to advocate ethical and biologically sound hunting, fishing, and other outdoor activities; to advocate education, for children and adults, that increases public awareness of wildlife, its dependence on habitat, and the importance of both to human existence; in affiliation with our member organizations, to communicate, cooperate, and partner with the North Carolina General Assembly, state resource agencies, corporations, and other interested groups to advance the well being of wildlife and its habitat; and in affiliation with the National Wildlife Federation, to support national and international issues of mutual interest. To those ends, NCWF is very concerned about the effects the draft NPDES permit will have on the Carolina heelsplitter. As explained below, the conditions and limitations in the draft permit is inadequate to ensure compliance with water quality standards. The federal Clean Water Act and North Carolina law require that all NPDES permits include limitations necessary to comply with applicable water quality standards. North Carolina law places the burden on the applicant to demonstrate compliance with water quality standards. Issuance of a permit without adequate measures to protect federally listed endangered species may result in a prohibited taking in violation of the Endangered Species Act. 1. The area subject to stormwater limitations affects waters that provide habitat to a federally -listed aquatic species that would be adversely affected by stormwater. The Carolina heelsplitter was listed as endangered on June 30, 1993. 58 Fed. Reg. 34926 (June 30, 1993) (attached as Exhibit 1). The Goose Creek watershed contains one of the four remaining populations of this species. Id.; see also Goose Creek Map (attached as Exhibit 2). In July 2002, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service ("USFWS") designated critical habitat for the Carolina heelsplitter, including the main stems of Goose Creek and Duck Creek in Union County. 67 Federal Register44502-44521 (July 2, 2002) (attached as Exhibit 3). In proposing critical habitat, the Service concludes: Available information indicates that several factors have contributed to the decline and loss of populations of the Carolina heelsplitter, and threaten the remaining populations. These factors include pollutants in wastewater discharges (sewage treatment plants and industrial discharges); habitat loss and alteration associated with impoundments, channel ization, and dredging operations; channel and streambank scouring associated ivith increased storm -water run-off,- and the run-off of silt, fertilizers, pesticides, and other- pollutants front various land disturbance activities with inadequate or poorly maintained erosion and stornovater control. Many of the streams in the area of Charlotte, North Carolina, that are known to have historically supported the Carolina heelsplitter, but which no longer do, have been degraded by a combination of the factors listed above and appear to no longer support, or be capable of supporting, any species of native mussels. The rung1l'of storm waterfrom cleared areas, roads, rooftops, parking lots, and other developed areas, which often is ditched or piped directly into strectms, not only results in stream pollution, but also results in increased water volume and velocity during heavy rains. This change irl water volione and velocity causes charnel and stream -bank scouring that leads to degradation and eliminatiolt of Mussel habitat. Id. at 36230 (emphasis added) (for more information on the Carolina heelsplitter, see Exhibit 4). The receiving waters for stormwater from Stallings include Goose Creek. The draft NPDES permit will result in the adverse impacts to the Carolina heelsplitter from stormwater identified by the USFWS. 2. Endangered or threatened aquatic species require enhanced protection from stormwater. Scientific information and conclusions that formed the basis for designation of critical habitat for the Carolina heelsplitter establish that the impacts from stormwater runoff associated with new development are the types of impacts that will appreciably reduce the likelihood of the survival and recovery of the endangered mussel. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission ("WRC"), in consultation with the USFWS, has identified measures that if implemented and enforced would avoid adverse impacts from stormwater. WRC, Guidance Memorancltan to Address and Mitigate Secondary and Cumulative Impacts to Aquatic and Terrestrial Wildlife Resources and Water Quality (August 2002) (attached as Exhibit 5). These measures constitute the best scientific information available on actions to avoid adverse modification of critical habitat and jeopardy of the Carolina heelsplitter. DWQ and the permit applicant must assure that these measures are included in the final NPDES permit. For watersheds that support federally listed species, the WRC recommends that certain measures be implemented to provide a higher degree of protection. The WRC encourages the maintenance and establishment of 200 foot native, forested ripariall buffers on perennial streams and 100 foot forested buffers o11 interllilttent streams. WRC, Guidance Memorandum (August 2002) (emphasis added). These buffer widths are based on detailed studies that establish the need for wider buffers to protect endangered aquatic species.' The WRC also recommends that if forested buffers do not exist, the buffer area should be allowed to revegetate naturally to increase its functionality. Id. The WRC also advocates maintenance of the natural predevelopment hydrograph. In order to do so, the guidelines recommend that "new developments can build using traditional designs at a level of 7% imperviousness, or build more densely, using dedicated open t Knutson, K.L., and V.L.

It/ (emphasis added). 3. The proposed NPDES stormwater permit fails to Provide adequate protection to endangered or threatened aguatic species. The draft NPDES permits include conditions and limitations that fall well short of the WRC's guidelines. The following table compares —with emphasis added —the stormwater permit's wholly inadequate requirements with the WRC's guidelines for the protection of mussel populations.

DWQ must require the more stringent measures recommended by the WRC in order to protect the endangered Carolina heelsplitter. The draft NPDES permit sets a definition for low -density development at 24% or less BUA. Low -density developments are not required to implement engineered stormwater management controls, such as infiltration systems or detention ponds. Well documented scientific studies have found that sensitive waters begin to lose uses and sensitive values decay once built upon areas reach 10 %.z For areas with endangered and threatened aquatic species, the studies suggest that BUA be limited to 7% imperviousness. This can be achieved through the use of conventional design at a level of 7% imperviousness or using conservation clusters with higher densities which incorporate dedicated open space and other controls to preserve the natural hydrograph. In the Chesapeake Bay area of Maryland, these measures have been implemented with much success.3 2 Paul, M.J., J.L.

(Impervious studies are attached as t:xhibit 7). 3 Prince Georges County, Maryland, Department of Environmental Resources, Low hnpact Development Design Strategies (1999) (attached as Exhibit 8). 5 DWQ must also require the more stringent buffer requirements. The draft permit for Stallings sets the riparian buffer requirements at 30-Feet for all perennial and intermittent streams. These requirements are not stringent enough to ensure survival of the Carolina heelsplitter. WRC guidelines recommend 200-foot forested buffers for - perennial streams and 100-foot buffers for intermittent streams. DWQ must require these more stringent measures in order to protect the endangered mussel population. 4. The NPDES permit must include limitations necessary to meet water uj! t standards. The NPDES permit violates federal requirements in several important respects. The NPDES permits must satisfy the federal Phase 11 requirements. The Clean Water Act prohibits discharges that violate water quality standards. The rules promulgated pursuant to 33 U.S.C. 5 1342 (p) by the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") require regulated entities to "develop, implement, and enforce a stormwater management program designed to reduce the discharge of pollutants ... to the maximum extent practicable, to protect water quality, and to satisfy the appropriate requirements of the Clean Water Act." 40 C.F.R. § 122.34 (a) (emphasis added). Based upon existing case law, "maximum extent practicable" means to the fullest degree technologically feasible for protection of water quality, except where costs are wholly disproportionate to the potential benefits. See Naeuser v. Department of Law, 97 F.3d 1152, 1155 (9`h Cir. 1996) ("practicable" has been defined as "capable of being done: feasible"); Rybac•hek v. United States E.P.A., 904 F.2d 1276, 1289 (9" Cir. 1990) (EPA must select best level of technology unless costs are "wholly disproportionate" to the benefits); Assn of Pac. Fisheries v. United States E.P.A., 615 F.2d 794, 805 (9`h Cir. 1980). In the stormwater context, these stringent definitions of the term "practicable" are further narrowed by the use of "maximum," clearly indicating that the measures to be required must be more protective than standard practice, or than ordinary measures, where those measures are failing to protect water quality. Such a definition would also comport with the recent Ninth Circuit decision interpreting Phase II program requirements. The court there suggested that the "maximum extent practicable" standard may require more of permittees than mere compliance with water quality standards or numeric effluent limitations designed to meet such standards. Envd. Def: Or., Inc. v. United States EPA, 319 F.3d 398, 425-26 (9"' Cir. 2003) (noting that although general permits will explicitly require compliance with numeric effluent limitations designed to ensure compliance with water quality standards, additional review of permittees' notices of intent is required to ensure that permittees have also designed programs that do in fact reduce their stormwater pollution to the maximum extent practicable). The NPDES permit violates federal rules because it fails to define adequately the criteria by which permits are to be judged: whether plans proposed by applicants reduce stormwater pollution to the "maximum extent practicable." The NPDES permit also violates federal rules because it fails to require stormwater measures that achieve the standards of Phase II to reduce the discharge to the maximum extent practicable. ro Furthermore, because the stormwater management program is regulated through a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ("NPDES") permit other requirements apply. "Since 1973, EPA regulations have provided that an NPDES permit shall not be issued `when the imposition of conditions cannot ensure compliance with the applicable water quality requirements of all affected States.' n 10 40 C.F.R. § 122.4(d) (1991); see also 38 Fed. Reg. 13533 (1973); 40 C.F.R. § 122.44(d) (1991). Arkansas v. Oklahoma, 503 U.S. 91, 105 (1992). Federal and North Carolina law require that NPDES permits ensure compliance with water quality standards. NPDES regulations issued under the Clean Water Act "specifically require that each NPDES permit contain `any requirements... necessary to : (1) achieve water quality standards established under Section 303 of the Act.' 40 C.F.R. § 122.44(d)(1). Thus any permit that fails to contain conditions necessary to achieve water quality standards violates both the Act and 40 C.F.R. § 122.44(d)(1)." Champion Int 'l Corp. v. United States FPA, 648 F. Stipp. 1390, 1395 (D.N.C. 1986) (vacated and remanded for different reasons by 850 F.2d 182, 186 (4th Cir. 1988).4 North Carolina law prohibits the discharge of waste to waters of the state in violation of water quality standards. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-215.1(a)(6). Permitted stormwater discharges (direct or indirect) must not result in "water pollution" or "alteration of the ... biological ... integrity of waters of the state." N.C. Gen. Stat. §§ 143-215. 1 (a)(1 1), 213(19). The EMC's permitting regulations place the burden on an NPDES permit applicant to demonstrate a proposed system will meet water quality standards. North Carolina NPDES permitting regulations state: The permit applicant has the burden of providing sufficient evidence to reasonably ensure that the proposed system will comply with all applicable water quality standards and requirements. No permit may be issued when the imposition of conditions cannot reasonably ensure compliance with applicable water quality standards and regulations of all effected states. 15A N.C.A.C. 21-1.0112(c). 4 The Preamble to LPA's stormwater permitting regulations describe the circumstances in which stormwater permits must comply with water quality standards: ...small MS4 permittees should modify their programs if and when available information indicates that water quality concentrations warrant greater attention or prescriptiveness in specific components of the municipal program. If the program is inadequate to protect water quality, including water quality standards, then the permit will need to be modified to include any more stringent limitations necessary to protect water quality. 64 Fed. Reg 68753. 7 5. North Carolina water cluality standards require protection and maintenance of threatened or endangered aquatic species. Water quality standards applicable to all waters identify "best usage of waters" to include "maintenance of biological integrity" and further state "[t]he waters shall be suitable for aquatic life propagation and maintenance of biological integrity..., sources of water pollution which preclude any of these uses on either a short-term or long-term basis shall be considered to be violating a water quality standard." 15A N.C.A.C. 2B.0211(1), (2). `Biological integrity means the ability of an aquatic ecosystem to support and maintain a balanced and indigenous community of organisms having species composition, diversity, population densities and functional organization similar to that of reference conditions." 15A N.C.A.C. 2B.0200(11). Loss of endangered or threatened aquatic species, often the most sensitive and vulnerable organisms in an aquatic ecosystem, contravenes the requirement of water quality standards that the biological integrity of all waters must be maintained. North Carolina's antidegradation policy also requires that "existing uses" of all waters be maintained. t5A N.C.A.C. 2B.0201(b). "Existing uses mean uses actually attained in the water body, in a significant and not incidental manner, on or after November 28, 1975, whether or not they are included in the water quality standards..." 15A N.C.A.C. 2B.0200(30). North Carolina's water quality regulations recognize that a use of a water may include providing habitat for endangered or threatened species: "Certain waters provide habitat for federally -listed aquatic animal species that are listed as threatened or endangered by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service or National Marine Fisheries Service under the provisions of the Endangered Species Act, 16 U.S.C. 1531- 1544 and subsequent modifications. Maintenance and recovery of the water quality conditions required to sustain and recover federally -listed threatened and endangered aquatic animal species contributes to the support of maintenance of a balanced and indigenous community of aquatic organisms and thereby protects the biological integrity of the waters."5 15A N.C.A.C. 2B.01 t0 6. Issuance of stormwater permits without adequate protection for federally -listed endangered or threatened species violates the Endangered Species Act. Under Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act, it is "unlawful for any person" to "take any [endangered] species within the United States...." 16 U.S.C. § 1538(a)(1)(B). It is also "unlawful for any person" to "attempt to commit, solicit another to commit, or cause to be corlmrittecl' a taking of any endangered species within the United States. 16 U.S.C. § 1538(g) (emphasis added). The term "person" is defined to include "any officer, employee, agent, department, or instrumentality of the Federal Government, [or] of any State..." and thus includes DWQ. 16 U.S.C. § 1532(13). "Take" under the Act s 15A N.C.A.C. 2B.01 10 directs the Division of Water Quality to develop site -specific management strategies under the provisions of 15A N.C.A.C. 213.0225 (Outstanding Resource Waters) or 15A N.C.A.C. 28.0227 (Water Quality Management Plans) to protect the endangered or threatened aquatic species in these waters. Although the rule was adopted in August 2000, the Division has yet to propose or designate any waters under these provisions. 8 includes any "harm" to an endangered species and specifically includes habitat degradation,6 Section 9 prohibits not only the actions of those who directly exact the taking of endangered species, "but also bans those acts of a third party that bring about the acts exacting a taking." Strahan v. Core, 127 F.3d 155, 1.63 (Ist Cir. 1997). In Strahan, the State of Massachusetts was found to have exacted a taking of endangered Northern Right Whales through its licensing and permitting of certain fishing practices that exacted a taking of the species.7 In Loggerhead Turtle v. County Council of Volu,sia Comity, a federal district court in Florida held that the Volusia County government caused takings of endangered sea turtles through its authorization of vehicular beach access during turtle mating season. 896 F. Supp. t 170, 1180- l 181 (M.D. Fla. 1995). As currently proposed, the draft permit for Stallings would "cause to be committed" a taking of the endangered Carolina heelsplitter in violation of federal law. 7. Additional Comments The permit application for the Town of Stallings lists as receiving waters Goose Creek, North Fork Crooked Creek, and South Fork Crooked Creek. Although the application states that there are no water quality issues in these stream segments, DWQ has listed all of these stream segments as impaired in the proposed 2004 303(d) Impaired Waters List. See DWQ, North Carolina 303(d) Impaired Waters List— 2004, t09-1 10 (attached as Exhibit 9). Goose Creek was placed on the 303(d) list in 1998 for fecal coliform violations. From its headwaters to SR 1524, Goose Creek remains impaired overall due to fecal coliform from construction sites and urban stormwater runoff. From SR 1524 to its confluence with the Rocky River, Goose Creek is impaired for aquatic life due to organic enrichment, fecal coliform, and other as yet unidentified stressors. North Fork Crooked Creek was first listed as impaired for aquatic life due to impaired biological integrity from unidentified stressors in 1998 and remains on the 2004 303(d) list. The sources of impairment in North Fork Crooked Creek are urban runoff and storm sewers. South Fork Crooked Creek was also listed as impaired overall for biological integrity in 1998 and remains on the 2004 303(d) list. The sources of impairment for South Fork Crooked Creek are agriculture and construction. Clearly, there are water quality issues in these receiving streams. DWQ must require more stringent stormwater management measures in the NPDES permit for the Town of Stallings in order to prevent further degradation of these impaired waters. The draft NPDES permit sets a definition for low -density development at 24% or less BUA. Low -density developments are not required to implement engineered stormwater management controls, such as infiltration systems or detention ponds, to control stormwater runoff. Numerous scientific studies have found that sensitive waters begin to lose uses and sensitive values decay once built upon areas reach 6 Babbitt v. Sweet Honre Chatter of Conm unitiies for a Great Oregon, 515 U.S. 687 (1995). 7 See also Sierra Club v. Yuetter, 926 F.2d 429, 438-39 (51h Cir. 1991)(iinding Forest Service caused take of endangered red -cockaded woodpecker by permitting logging practices near nesting colonies); Defenders of Wildlife v. Adnrinistrator, iSnot Protection Agency, 882 F,2d 1294, 1300-01 (8`h Cir.1989)(finding IPA caused take of endangered species through its registration of pesticides for use by others). 9 10 %.8 Scientific research indicates that a decline in ecological integrity of stream - riparian ecosystems begins at very low levels of watershed development and continues with increased watershed development.`' Impaired waters are sensitive waters that have already begun to lose important uses. DWQ must set the definition for low -density development at lower percent BUA in order to protect these streams from stormwater runoff from watershed development. Because of the significant public interest evidenced by the vital issues raised in the above comments, we also request a public hearing on the merits of granting this proposed permit. As you know, N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-215.1 requires DWQ to consider all written requests for a public hearing made within thirty days following the notice of intent to take action on a permit application and to grant such a request if there is significant public interest. The permits will allow significant degradation of water quality in the Goose Creek watershed and will have a significant effect on the survival of the Carolina heelsplitter. DWQ should carefully weigh the effects of its permitting decision before implementing lax stormwater controls in the critical habitat of the endangered mussel. Considering the potential effects the permit may have on Goose Creek and more specifically on the Carolina heelsplitter, we respectfully request that DWQ hold a public hearing on the proposed NPDES stormwater permit for Stallings. We appreciate the opportunity to provide these comments on the permits. If you have any questions please feel free to call us at (919) 967-1450. Sincerely yours, Derb S.

Bennett: The U.S.- Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has reviewed nine draft National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) storfnwater pen -nits, listed in the attached table, and are providing the following comments in accordance with the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543), and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.). The North Carolina Division'of Water Quality (DWQ) has'proposed the issuance of these permits to meet requirements of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Storm Water Phase II Final Rule. Under Section IX. A. (Coordination Procedures Regarding Issuance of State or Tribal Permits) of the Memorandum of Agreement Between the Environmental Protection Agency, Fish and WildlycService and National Marine Fisheries Service Regarding Enhanced Coordination Under the Clean Water Act and Endangered Species Act (USEPA 2001), the Service is to contact the Stag when we are concerned that an NPDES permit is likely to,have a more than nunor detrimental effect on a federally -listed species or critical habitat. This letter provides our concerns and information in support of them. We are generally supportive of this next step in the niianagement of stormwater in North Carolina, and appreciative of DWQ's efforts in persevering with public -involvement and Hiles to' implement this program since 2000., We are concealed about two issues: 1) the lack of watershed -specific information in'any of these permits regarding sensitive natural resources, important waters, and conservation measures; and 2) the potential for actions permitted under this program to adversely affect federally -listed threatened and endangered species. We believe each of these shortcomings can be addressed through revised permits that incorporate information from the natural: resource management agencies, including the Service, which DWQ has enlisted to help prepare site -specific water quality management plans far waters supporting federally -listed species (15A NCAC 02B .0110). Our two concerns are discussed briefly below. These comments apply to all thepermits listed in Table 1 and will ultimately apply to any permits proposed for waters with listed species or critical habitat (see eoclosed map). We use the hermits proposed for the Goose Creels watershed as an illustration of how the permits could be improved. We will be glad to discuss how best to provide' similar details for the other watersheds to resolve our concerns. I.Z/Z9/04 WED 1'1:bt) k'A3 1 ilia Cap 4000 UStT►5-t[Al.>Wllin,ivli Jj Lack of watershed specfc information in draft permits . We are aware that the EPA's Phase Il Stormwater Program requirements are basic and are designed, to accommodate a general permit approach as well as provide the owner / operator of small municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) a great deal of local flexibility in selecting Best .Management Practices (BMPs) to meet national program .requirements. We also know that each permit requires a specific stormwater management plan and that those plans can contains considerably more information on a conditi f loca ters, the importance of sensxia natural resources in those waters, and the cific tormwater management BW s to be applied. , We are concerned, however, that the individual permits do not provid any o this important oca ions C e. s ecific information, the absence of which leaves interested stakeholders with no assurances that they *11 be addressed. Permits proposed for municipalities in the Goose Creek watershed are a good example. The draft permits for the Town of Stallings (NCSOOO454); Town of Indian Trail (NCS00O454), Town of Hemby Bridge (NCS0O049O) and Mecklenburg County'(NCS00395, includes also Towns of Matthews and Mint Hill) do not mention,. much less highlight, a) impaired waters needing restoration, b) waters known to be impaired by%stormwater now, or c) waters meriting additional protection due to sensitive natural resources... The Goose Creek watershed has all of these attributes, and DWQ's Point Source, Branch has the opportunity, to highlight the importance of Goose Creek in those permits. In the recent Yadkin-Pee.Dee River Basinwide. Water Quality Management Plan, the DWQ's Planning Branch (2003)'appropriately lists the Carolinaheelsplitter (Ldsmigona decorata) as one. of the only two federally protecred rare aquatic species in the entire Yadkin-Pee.Dee River .basin (Table A-12). Goose Creek is appropriately identified as one of only six significant aquatic habitats within the basin (Section 2.6.3), and nonpoint source pollution problems associated with stormwater runoff are noted among the causative agents in Goose Creek's Clean Water Act 303(d) listing as impaired (Section 12.2.1)... The Service recommends that waters` such as Goose Creek, which have been identified as priority concerns by the DWQ Planning staff and others, be focal points in the Phase Il storrwater permits in order to help guide targeted and eCfcctive local stormwater plans. While DWQ could do this in- house by referring to available water quality planning documents, we suggest DWQ incorporate material fronm -i the emerging site -specific management plans for streams supporting federally -listed species. The intent of those plans is to provide for maintenance and recovery of the water quality conditions required to sustain these species, and the Service; NC Wildlife Resources Commission, the NC Natural Heritage Program and others have working drafts for three basins. ,A draft site - specific plan for Goose Creek was shared with the Point Source Branch in' September 2003; it provided a great deal of information on the Carolina heelsplitter, water quality parameters of concern, sources of local water quality impairment, and potential corrective actions. We believe that highlighting the need to protect.these resources should be a component of the permitting process; both as technical assistance to the MS4 owners 1 operators for their planning as well as a mechanism to help ensure progress on previously identified water quality priorities. 2) Potential to adversely affect federally -listed threatened and endangered species The Model Practices section of each draft permit contains basic requirements related to stream setbacks (30-feet), development densities that would trigger more aggressive stormwater A koll a 12/L8/U4 WEI) .17:57 Y'Ab 1 VIV 860 4556 U5YlY5-KAL,r;1(;}i,N(: 10004, management (24°fo built -upon area), and the design storm for high density development (I-year24- hour storm). While we realize the draft permits indicate these requirements are the minimum, and that the stormwater management plans must equal or exceed these, we are concerned that they are not protective minimum criteria for many waters that provide habitat to federally -listed aquatic species. The lack of any specifics on the type and frequency of monitoring (a typical component of NPDES permits) is also 'a concern. Recent research compiled by the Center for Watershed protection indicates that the biological and physical integrity of streams can be significantly degraded when impervious cover within the watershed exceeds 10% (Zielinski 2002), and the Service has previously recommended that stormwater controls in listed mussel habitat should be implemented under density options similar to those of the Critical Area WS-11 Watershed Protection Hiles (Low Density Option of 1 dwelling unit 12 acre or 6% built -upon area; High Density Option of 6-24% built -upon area provided stormwater controls in place). Ln a, recent review of literature and'application of professional judgment for protecting North Carolina's endangered fauna, the Wildlife Resources Commission (2002) and partners advocated maintenance of the natural predevelopment bydrograph. In order to do so, the Guidelines recommend that new developments can build using traditional designs at a level of 7% imperviousness, or build more densely, using dedicated open space and other stormwater practices to mimic the hydrograph which would'occur at only 7% imperviousness. The draft: stormwater permits set a definition for low density development at 24%; this is too high, especially if low -density developments are not required to implement engineered stormwater management control. Maintaining vegetated riparian buffers is a well-known method of reducing stream sedimentation and other runoff. Riparian buffers are particularly important for freshwater mussels (Neves et al. 19.97). Several recent reviews of riparian buffer widths, extent, and vegetation are available io guide evaluation of buffer design and efficacy (Palone and Todd 1998, Wenger 1999, North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission 2002). Because we do not think a 30-foot one -size fits all minimum buffer width ensures the continued survival of federally endangered and threatened aquatic species, we have advocated variable -width buffers tbat incorp6mte a portion of the functional floodplain, taking into consideration the natural topography to establish buffer widths. In most cases, buffers equal to or exceeding 100-feet would be needed to adequately protect water quality in developing watersheds such as those affected by these stormwater permits; the 30-foot setbacks are not adequate. The permits should also note a requirement for attainment of diffuse flow at the edge of buffers. Finally, tkie lack of specifics on what will be required to monitor efficacy of stor nwater management programs is a concern. - The permits would benefit from explicit statements regarding water quality parameters to monitor, monitoring locations, the frequency of monitoring, and the targeting of stormwater events as a component of monitoring. Without specifics, it is not possible to determine if monitoring data will help guide determination of overall program efficacy. Again, we realize that the DWQ's permits are delivering an EPA program -with basic requirements and that some municipalities may choose to exceed these foundation level requirements. For example, we have been pleased with the efforts of Mecklenburg County Water Quality Program staff to conduct chemical and biological monitoring, develop much more protective buffers and include natural resources managers (including the Service) on a stakeholders group to help develop 12/29/04 WED 17:58 FAX 1 919 856 4556 USFWS-RALEIGH,NC SODS the post -construction stormwater ordinance. We also recognize that the DWQ is encouraging watershed protection planning 'as an alternate vehicle for achieving permit compliance and that Wake County and others have used this approach. We remain concerned, however, that the template of each draft permit has a core of model practices that is in many cases already less protective than existing regulations and potentially► harmful to species we help manage. Thank you for the opportunity to piovide these comments. We appreciate DWQ's consideration of federally -listed species in crafting of the current State stormwater rules. for triggering additional stormwater management plans/permits (15A NCAC .0126) andthe oppot-tunities to work with DWQ to help improve water quality in listed species habitat through the new site -specific water quality management plans (15A NCAC.02B .0110). While the permits we reviewed are a small component of overall water quality management affecting listed species, they are important and we urge your consideration of our comments to improve thern..

Please refer to the letter you received from the Town of Stallings on December 9, 2004, regarding the agreement between the Town of Indian Trail and the Town of Stallings. I appreciate the time you spent with me on the phone on Thursday, November 18, 2004, to answer the Towns' questions regarding the permit. Most of the comments we have are general word changes and clarifications in comparison to the Federal Rule 40 CFR § 122.34. Comments that require more detail or consideration are noted below. 1. Part II: Many of the first BMPs listed for each minimum measure describe a plan of implementation. This verbiage is now above the BMP box, because the plan or program will be implemented by applying arose BMPs. 2. Part II Section E: A disclaimer was added regarding the DENR Sediment and Erosion Control Program, to clarify that the Town will not assume operations of that program at this time. 3. Par II Section F: Neither Town is located in a subject watershed as defined in Item 3, so paragraph (a) has.been deleted. The remaining paragraphs have been reformatted for easier understanding. 4. Part III Program Assessment: All references to required monitoring and sampling have been modified to read "may include" or similar. 5. Part V Section A Item 1 (d) refers to "the Act" and "this Act". Assuming "the Act" is the Clean Water Act as defined in Part VII, what does "this Act" refer to? 6. Part V Section A Item 3 has confusing verbiage. "Furthermore, the Town is responsible for consequential damages, such as fish kills, even though the responsibility for effective compliance may be temporarily suspended." If it is changed to read, "If this permit is temporarily suspended, the Town shall be responsible for consequential damages of noncompliance," does it state the same thing? Please feel free to contact me at 704.821.5401 if you need any further clarification of these comments. Sincerely, Susan L. Habina, P.E.

The town is in Union County and the City's MS4 drains into the Catawba River Basin and the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin. The jurisdictional area is 6.3 square miles and the MS4 area served is the same. Land use is reported as 700/0 residential, 10% industrial, 5% open, and 15% commercial. The application identifies four primary receiving waters, all classified C. The responsibilities for elements of the Stormwater Management Program Plan fall to four city employees, the Town Manager, Town Clerk, an engineer, and a planner. Application review a) The four -page permit application has been signed and sufficiently completed. OK b) Section 7.1 Public Education - Sufficient content (year one actions, minorities and disadvantaged included by virtue of targeting schools, educational program, utility mail outs, PLUS public meeting.) OK c) Section 7.2 Public Involvement - Sufficient content (public meeting requirement captured in Public Education Program, volunteer Adopt -a -Stream, PLUS volunteer drain stenciling, volunteer Adopt-a-Greenway/Trail.) OK d) Section 7.3 illicit Discharges - Sufficient content (develop program, establish ordinance, mapping, enforcement provisions promised, inspections by new staff or contract PLUS public education aspect captured in Public Education Program.) OK. e) Section 7.4 Construction Site Runoff - Sufficient content (reliance on NCDENR Sediment and Erosion Control program, PLUS pre -construction plan review, inspections, builder education program.) OK f) Section 7.5 Post Construction Management - Sufficient content (All the elements identified in the temporary rule for post construction runoff control, PLUS builder education program.) OK g) Section 7.6 Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping - Sufficient content (Stallings reports that it does not own, operate, or maintain any municipal operations, however, employee education efforts are proposed under this program.) OK h) Staffing and budget - Sufficient. Most of the Stormwater Management Program Plan activities fail to the previously identified town employees. The Plan recognizes a need to hire or contract for several other tasks within the Plan. For this small town, and the limited scope of activity, Stallings' staffing seems appropriate. No budget information is provided. OK i) Timing - Sufficient. Some public education BMPs start in the first year. Other minimum measures are timely. OK j) Measurable goals - Sufficient. OK k) The Plan is consistent with the temporary rules in effect at the time of submittal and the instructions provided with the application form. Plan approvable as is.

BOX 4030 STALLINGS, NC 28106-4030 Subject: NPDES Phase II Stormwater Program Lucy Drake: In 1990 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Phase I stormwater program was promulgated under the Clean Water Act. Phase I relies on National Pollutant discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit coverage to address stormwater runoff from: (1) "medium" and "large" municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) generally serving populations of 100,000 or greater, (2) construction activity disturbing 5,acres of land or greater, and (3) ten categories of industrial activity. The NPDES Stormwater Phase II Final Rule was promulgated in December 1999 and is the next step in EPA's effort to preserve, protect, and improve the Nation's water resources from polluted storm water runoff. The Phase II program expands the Phase I program by requiring additional operators of MS4s in urbanized areas and operators of small construction sites, through the use of NPDES permits, to implement programs and practices to control stormwater runoff. Phase I1 is intended to further reduce adverse impacts to water quality and aquatic habitat by instituting the use of controls on the unregulated sources of stormwater discharges that have the greatest likelihood of causing continued environmental degradation. The NPDF__S Stormwater Phase lI Final Rule requires nationwide coverage of all operators of small MS4s that are located within the boundaries of a Bureau of the Census defined "urbanized area" based on the latest decennial Census. We are writing to you to remind you that the Town of Stallings has been identified as being located within a census designated urbanized area in both the 1990 and 2000 decennial census. As a regulated community, you are required to develop a stormwater management program and apply for stormwater permit coverage, if you own and operate a small MS4 or file a certification that the Town of Stallings does not own or operate a small MS4. The deadline for submitting your application package or non -ownership certification is March 10, 2003. Application and certification documents, as well as additional information on the NPDES stormwater program, are available for download at our web site, Our web address is http:llh2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/stormwater,htmI- You may also contact us for hard copies of the documents.

Public comment document control #217. a. USFWS is concerned about the lack of watershed specific information in the permit. There is no location -specific information in the permit on impaired waters, or sensitive natural resource -waters. Specifically, these concerns apply to Goose Creek, one of Stallings' receiving waters, because of the presence of the Carolina heelsplitter, a federally -protected rare aquatic species. USFWS believes it appropriate for the permit to highlight this need. b. USFWS is concerned about the potential for actions permitted to adversely affect threatened and endangered species or critical habitat. Specifically, the Model Practices provisions of 30' set back, 24% built -upon area, and the 1- year, 24-hour storm design basis are not protective for many waters that provide habitat to federally -listed aquatic species. c. Specifically, wrt built -upon area, despite recent reports of and recommendations of significant degradation at 10% BUA (Center for Watershed Protection), and low density threshold of 6% and high density of 6% - 240/b for listed mussel habitat (USFWS), and an effective 7% BUA for protection of endangered fauna (NC WRC), the permit provides by comparison 24%. d. The 30' buffer is not adequate. e. The lack of monitoring in the permit is a concern, and monitoring specifics should be added to the permit f. The core Model Practices are less protective than existing regulations and are potentially harmful to species that the USFWS manages. 9. 12/30/04 comments from the Southern Environmental Law Center and the North Carolina Wildlife Federation and the Sierra Club. Numerous comments are specific to the Phase II program as distinct from NCS0000453 or seem to me to be legal and policy issues not resolvable at the permit writer level, and are not repeated in this summary of comments on the draft permit. Public comment document control #218. a. DWQ is obligated (under several provisions of rule and law) to revise the permit to protect the Carolina heelsplitter, an endangered mussel in Goose Creek. b. The specific measures to be employed to protect the mussel can be found in the Wildlife Resources Commission Guidance Memorandum of August 2002. These measures include 100' - 200' buffers, and 7% built -upon threshold. 10. 12/31/04 public comment period expires. 11. 9/07/05 final permit prepared for signature, incorporating selected comments from the applicant. Effective date October 1, 2005. 12. 6/7/07 revised and reissued in accordance with EMC agency decision from SELC lawsuit. Added 100' & 200' buffers and 10% BUA in Goose Creek watershed.

Hazardous Substance Any substance designated in 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act. 10. 111icit Discharge Any discharge to a MS4 that is not composed entirely of stormwater except discharges pursuant to an NPDES permit (other than the NPDES MS4 permit), allowable non- stormwater discharges, and discharges resulting from fire -fighting activities. 11. Industrial Activity For the purposes of this permit, industrial activities shall mean all industrial activities as defined in 40 CFR 122.26. 12. Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Parts V, VI, VII & V11I Page 6 of 8 NCS000453 NCS000454 Pursuant to 40 CFR 122.26(b)(8) means a conveyance or system of conveyances (including roads with drainage systems, municipal streets, catch basins, curbs, gutters, ditches, manmade channels, or storm drains): (1) Owned or operated by the United States, a state, city, town, county, district, association, or other public body (created by or pursuant to state law) having jurisdiction over disposal of sewage, industrial wastes, stormwater, or other wastes, including special districts under state law such as a sewer district, flood control district or drainage district, or similar entity, or an Indian tribe or an authorized Indian tribal organization, or a designated and approved management agency under Section 208 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) that discharges to waters of the United States or waters of the State; (ii) Designed or used for collecting or conveying stormwater; (iii) Which is not a combined sewer; and (iv) Which is not part of a Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) as defined in 40 CFR 122.2. 13. Nan-stormwater Discharge Categories The following are categories of non-stormwater discharges that the peffflitteeTown must address if it identifies them as significant contributors of pollutants to the storm sewer system: water line flushing, landscape irrigation, diverted stream flows, rising groundwater, uncontaminated groundwater infiltration, [as defined in 40 CFR 35.2005(20)], uncontaminated pumped groundwater, discharges from potable water sources, foundation drains, air conditioning condensation, irrigation water, springs, water from crawl space pumps, footing drains, lawn watering, individual residential car washing, flows from riparian habitats and wetlands, dechlorinated swimming pool discharges, and street wash water (discharges or flows from fire fighting activities are excluded from the definition of illicit discharge and only need to be addressed where they are identified as significant sources of pollutants to waters of the United States). 14. Non-structural BMP Non-structural BMPs are preventive actions that involve management and source controls such as: (1) Policies and ordinances that provide requirements and standards to direct growth to identified areas, protect sensitive areas such as wetlands and riparian areas, maintain and/or increase open space, provide buffers along sensitive water bodies, 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 of as good housekeeping, preventive maintenance, and spill prevention. 15. Outfall Parts V, V I, V I I& V I II Page 7 of 8 NCS000453 NCS000454 The point of wastewater or stormwater discharge from a discrete conveyance system. See also point source discharge of stormwater. 16. Permittee The owner or operator issued this permit. 17. Point Source Discharge of Stormwater Any discernible, confined and discrete conveyance including, but not specifically limited to, any pipe, ditch, channel, tunnel, conduit, well, or discrete fissure from which stormwater is or may be discharged to waters of the state. l8. Redevelopment Means any rebuilding activity other than a rebuilding activity that results in no net increase in built -upon area, and provides equal or greater stormwater control than the previous development. 19. Representative Storm Event A storm event that measures greater than 0.1 inches of rainfall and that is preceded by at least 72 hours in which no storm event measuring greater than 0.1 inches has occurred. A single storm event may contain up to 10 consecutive hours of no precipitation. For example, if it rains for 2 hours without producing any collectable discharge, and then stops, a sample may be collected if a rain producing a discharge begins again within the next 10 hours. 20. Stormwater Runoff The flow of water which results from precipitation and which occurs immediately following rainfall or as a result of snowmelt. 21. Toxic Pollutant Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act. Parts V, VI, VII & VIII Page 8 of 8
