Dear Mr. Mishak:
After a review of your permit application materials, I found that with changes to Stormwater
Management Plan identified herein, there is sufficient content to continue with the review and drafting of
your permit.
The Stormwater Management Report detailing the proposed storrnwater management program for
the five-year permit did not address the following:
1. To meet the objectives of the Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Program,
the Town of China Grove must establish and publicize a reporting mechanism for
the public to report illicit discharges.
2. To meet the objectives of the Construction Site Runoff Controls Program the
Town of China Grove will need to monitor the Rowan County Environmental
Services program for effectiveness in the permittee jurisdiction.
3. To meet the objectives of the Construction Site Runoff Controls Program the
Town of China Grove must provide and promote a means for the public to notify
the appropriate authorities of observed erosion and sedimentation problems. The
permittee may implement a plan promoting the existence of the NCDENR,
Division of Land Resources "Stop Mud" hotline to meet the requirements of this
paragraph.
4. To meet the objectives of the Construction Site Runoff Controls Program the
Town of China Grove must establish procedures for site inspection.
5. To meet the objectives of the Construction Site Runoff Controls Program the
Town of China Grove must conduct random inspections of local land disturbing
activities that have a sediment and erosion control permit, issued by Rowan
County Environmental Services. Potential problems at construction sites with
sediment and erosion control permits must be reported to the Rowan County
Environmental Services. The Town of China Grove must maintain a record of
findings and followup actions taken.
6. Under the Post -Construction Stormwater Management Program the Town of
China Grove low density development built -upon area of 30% or less is not
consistent with Session Law.

conveyance systems, and evaluate the sources, document deficiencies, plan
corrective actions, and document the accomplishment of corrective actions.

their tributaries, and to segments and tributaries within the watershed contributing to the
impaired segments. The permittee shall also develop a schedule to discover and locate all
other MS4 outfalls within its jurisdictional area that m yAbe discharging the pollutant(s)
of concern: to the impaired stream segments, to their trit5utanes, and to segments and

tributaries within the watershed contributing to The:ipaire`segments.
(b) Within two years after receiving the Division's'.notice that the permittee is subject to a
t_ 1, ..Zy
TMDL, the permittee shall develop a monitoring plan for each pollutant of concern. The
monitoring plan shall include the sample`loca(ion•ba erbal description and latitude and

monitoring implementation schedule'for each pollutant of concern. Where appropriate,
the permittee may reduce;hhe monitoring hurden by proposing to monitor outfalls that the
Division would consider substantially_jj'similar to other outfalls. The permittee may also
propose in -stream monitorring tierce iViKould complement the overall monitoring plan.
The monitoring plan shall be adjusted as additional outfalls are identified in accordance
with the schedule required in (a)jabove and as accumulating data may suggest.
(c) The permittee shall include the location of all currently known MS4 outfalls with the
potential of discharging the pollutant(s) of concern, the schedule for discovering and
locating currently unknown MS4 outfalls with the potential of discharging the
pollutant(s) of concern, and the monitoring plan, (all as required in (a) and (b) above, and
all part of the TMDL Water Quality Recovery Program) in the first Stormwater
Management Plan annual report due no earlier than two years after the Division's initial
notification of the applicability of a TMDL.
(d) The next and each subsequent Stormwater Management Plan annual report shall include
an assessment of the available data for each pollutant of concern, and an assessment of
the effectiveness of the BM -Ps employed, to determine what, if any, additional BMP
measures may be necessary to return the impaired segments to compliance with state
water quality standards. The permittee shall implement appropriate BMPs to control the
pollutant(s) of concern to the maximum extent practicable. implementation of the
appropriate best management practices constitutes compliance with the standard of
reducing pollutants to the maximum extent practicable.
(e) Following any review and comment by the Division on the TMDL Water Quality
Recovery Program, the permittee shall incorporate any necessary changes into the
program. The permittee shall incorporate the revised TMDL Water Quality Recovery

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 pump, footing drains, lawn
watering, individual residential car washing, flows from riparia�n,h a,bitats and wetlands,
dechlorinated swimming pool discharges, and street wash + WateK(discharges or flows from fire

21. Stormwater Runoff
The flow of water which results from precipitation and which occurs immediately following
rainfall or as a result of snowmelt.
22. Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)
A TMDL is a calculation of the maximum amount of a pollutant that a waterbody can receive
and still meet water quality standards, and an allocation of that amount to the pollutant's sources.
A TMDL is a detailed water quality assessment that provides the scientific foundation for an
implementation plan. The implementation plan outlines the steps necessary to reduce pollutant
loads in a certain body of water to restore and maintain Water xquality standards in all seasons.
The Clean Water Act, Section 303, establishes the water�'quality standards and TMDL programs.
23. Toxic Pollutant OKV
Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the;,C]can Water Act.
