Do you have an inventory of storm water inlets, pipes, ditches, and open channels?
No
2019
Comments: Not a complete inventory. The Town does now have such an inventory for one of our critical areas
in Town with previous reports of runoff problems. (a study of higgins creek and a limited analysis
of the H_oopers Valley Estate areas). Also stormwater outfalls have been mapped As of the start of
FY 2019/20, the Town has budgeted new funds to improve upon our overall stormwater program.
In the next 2-3 years we will have additional mapping done in phases for different sections of town
(And we will also be updatinq our outfall inventory).

responsible person or position for implementation?
No
Root Cause : Funds for stormwater management related activities are not sufficient
Plan of Action: Council approved new funding in FY 19/20 to enable McGill assoc. to help improve overall
Program.
Comments: With the start of the 2019/2020 fiscal year, our Town Council approved new funding to enlist the
help of McGill Associates (our consulting engineering firm) for assistance in evaluating our overall
program and to help improve upon any deficiencies that may exist. They will be evaluating
measurable goals and helping with implementation.

SW103370 The permittee must implement an inspection program to detect dry weather flows at system outfalls and,
at a minimum, must address the following:

swt03e20 The permittee may also develop a list of other similar occasional, incidental non -storm water discharges
that will not be addressed as Illicit discharges. '
SW103630 These non -storm water discharges must not be reasonably expected (based on information available to
the permittees) to be significant sources of pollutants to the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System,
because of either the nature of the discharges or conditions the permittee has established for allowing
these discharges to the permittee's MS4 (e.g., activity with appropriate controls on frequency, proximity
to sensitive waterbodies, BMPs).
sWloasao Does the Stormwater Management Program document local controls or conditions placed on discharges
and a provision prohibiting any individual non -storm water discharge thatis determined to be contributing
'significant amounts of pollutants to the permittee's MS4?
Yes

includes info about illicit discharges...
SW103750 Does the Stormwater Management Program provide street sweeping, inspecting and cleaning inlets and
outfalls?
Yes

cleaned on a complaint basis to my knowledge.

If the permittee relies on the NCDENR Division of Land Resources (DLR) Erosion and Sediment Control
Program to comply with this minimum measure for private development, than the NCDENR Division of
Land Resources Erosion and Sediment Control Program effectively meets the requirements of the

Root Cause : Best Management Practice is not established
Plan of Action: In previous years I had thought that Henderson County handled this min measure. But at
the 2019 DEQ workshop I learned that the state still handled this. I later confirmed
with Natalie Berry (henderson County). To my knowledge Shawna Riddle from DENR
(DEQ?) is our regional rep on this. I may need more clarification on this in the future to see
if there is more expected of the Town on this item. Henderson County still does our

SW104460 Consider coordinating this requirement with the permittee's public education program. Publicize the
procedures and contact information. The procedures must lead directly to a site inspection or other
timely follow-up action. The permittee may implement a plan promoting the existence of the NCDENR,

SW104920 The permittee's ordinances, and subsequent modifications, will be reviewed and approved by DWQ prior
to implementation. The approval process will establish subsequent timeframes when DWQ will review
performance under the ordinance(s). The reviews will occur, at a minimum, every five years. Regulated
public entities without ordinance making powers must demonstrate similar actions taken in their post
