INTRODUCTION On December 8, 1999 the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized a rule that extends the current regulations for storm water discharges to municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) in urban areas having populations less than 100,000 and to construction sites between one and five acres in size. The rule is located in Chapter 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 9, 122, 123 and 124, and is known as Phase II of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Program. It requires small MS4s that were not covered by the Phase I program to participate in the NPDES program and obtain a storm water permit by March 10, 2003. According to the rule, the MS4s most likely affected are those municipalities with populations of 10,000 or more and a population density of at least 1,000 per square mile. The rule includes military bases located within Census Bureau-defined urbanized areas. The Marine Corps Base (MCB) Camp Lejeune, Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) New River, Camp Geiger Infantry Training School, hereafter referred to collectively as “MCBCL” or “the Base”, is located in Jacksonville, Onslow County, North Carolina, and is required to obtain a storm water permit under the NPDES Phase II program. Figures 1 and 2 located in Section 1 show the location of the MCBCL facility and major drainage features. In light of the promulgated regulations and permitting process, MCBCL’s existing storm water management program was assessed and recommendations and measurable goals were provided for the program to be in full compliance with the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) NPDES Storm W ater Phase II program. This Storm Water Management Plan (SW MP or “the Plan”) serves as a planning tool for MCBCL. In developing this Plan, six stakeholder meetings were conducted to gather information regarding the existing storm water program. Information was gathered from MCBCL staff and Atlantic Division, Naval Facilities Engineering Command (LANTDIV) staff on existing programs that may be affected by the NPDES Phase II regulations. A.1 HOW TO USE THIS PLAN This plan is broken into two parts. The first part of the plan (Sections A through I) of the manual is intended for internal use on the Base. Sections A through I explain the purpose of the Plan, relevant Federal and State requirements that must be met, MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 A2 stakeholders involved with the storm water management program, and costs associated with the best management practices (BMPs) proposed by the Plan. The second part of the plan (Sections 1 through 7) is the “Storm Water Management Report” and is intended for permit submittal to NCDENR. An additional cover sheet and table of contents preface the permit submittal portion. Sections 1 through 7 mirror the table of contents as required by Part X of the Notice of Intent (NOI) permit application. Section 7 lists specifically those BMPs currently practiced on the Base and those proposed. A summary table is provided at the end of Section 7 that lists in abbreviated format each BMP and the associated Measurable Goals, Implementation Years, and Responsible Party(ies). If viewing the Plan electronically, each section is easily accessed by simply clicking on it in the table of contents. MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 B1 B. REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS OF NPDES PHASE II B.1 THE BASIC APPROACH TO PERMITTING Under the NPDES Phase II regulations, an NPDES permitting authority issues a permit to authorize storm water discharges from regulated small MS4s. In the State of North Carolina, the NCDENR Division of Water Quality (DW Q) serves as the NPDES permitting authority. To obtain and comply with the permit, each regulated community must develop a set of BMPs under six specific program minimum control measures identified in the regulations. These minimum control measures are: • Public education and outreach on storm water impacts; • Public involvement/ participation; • Illicit discharge detection and elimination; • Construction site storm water runoff control; • Post-construction storm water management in new development and redevelopment; and • Pollution prevention/ good housekeeping for municipal operations. The regulations contain both mandatory and suggested components to comply with each of the six minimum control measures. The mandatory components must be implemented. The suggested components form a menu that provides the regulated communities a sense of EPA’s intent for each minimum control measure, and provides specific suggestions in each general category of BMP. Regulated communities can choose to include some, all, or none of EPA’s suggestions. A more detailed discussion on each of the six minimum control measures is presented in Section B.6 of this Plan. The BMPs identified to comply with the six minimum control measures can be any combination of programs, structures and other controls that, in the agreed opinion of NCDENR DWQ and the regulated community, meet the standard of reducing pollution discharge to Waters of the State to the maximum extent practicable (MEP). In this process, permittees and permit writers will evaluate the proposed storm water management controls to determine whether a reduction of pollutants to the MEP could be achieved using the identified BMPs. This evaluative process will consider such factors as conditions of receiving waters, specific local concerns, and other considerations included in a comprehensive watershed plan. MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 B2 Under the permitting approach, implementation by the regulated communities of BMPs consistent with storm water management program requirements at § 122.34 and permit provisions at § 122.33 would constitute compliance with the standard of ‘‘reducing pollutants to the MEP. That is, “if you do what you say you will do, you are by definition in compliance.” It is important to note that states implementing their own NPDES programs may develop more stringent requirements than those proposed in the Federal Register. In fact, many states will require more specific and rigorous requirements under special circumstances relating to the condition of the receiving water within, and downstream from, a community. For example, if a certain stream is required to have a Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) or similar study performed on it, then the NPDES Phase II permit conditions may reflect the allocation of pollutants to that community. The steps to permit compliance for a regulated community are then: 1. Review the conditions of the permit; 2. Develop and submit a NOI to comply with the NPDES permit through description of a BMP-based program under each of the six minimum control measures or program areas (see Section B.6 below); 3. Negotiate the proposed program with the permitting authority; 4. Receive approval of the submittal from the permitting authority; and, 5. Begin implementation of the conditions and programs described in the NOI, including record keeping and submittal of appropriate reports describing attainment of “measurable goals” for each BMP as described in the NOI. B.2 MEASURABLE GOALS EPA requires that each regulated community identify measurable goals for the development and implementation of each BMP in the NOI. The goals must identify, as appropriate, the activity levels required to implement the minimum control measures; including benchmarks, milestones, and establishing and reaching objectives. It is important that the measurable goals identified be actions or activity levels that the regulated community can control. For example, a measurable goal for street sweeping should be “the community will conduct street sweeping operations on primary roadways X times per year,” as opposed to “the community will remove X pounds of street waste per year from primary roadways.” The American Public Works Association (APW A) provides other examples of measurable goals including (APWA, 2000): MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 B3 • Inspecting or repairing a certain number of drain inlets each year; • Conducting a certain number of training classes for municipal operations per year; and • Surveying municipal right-of-ways to identify illicit discharges. B.3 NORTH CAROLINA’S PERMITTING OPTIONS MCBCL has limited permitting options. 1. NPDES Phase II Co-Permittee with Onslow County and/or the City of Jacksonville. Onslow County is identified as a Phase II County and the City of Jacksonville a Phase II Municipality per the 1990 U.S. Census Urbanized Area information. MCBCL is within the 2000 U.S. Census Urbanized Area, is a small MS4, and will therefore be required to comply with the Phase II regulations. As co- permittees under one permit, multiple communities are covered by the same permit requirements and schedules. W hen one permittee does not abide by the permit conditions and/or schedule, the potential for all permittees to be in violation with the permit exists. Therefore, it is recommended that MCBCL not choose this permitting option. 2. NPDES Phase II Permittee. As a permit holder, MCBCL has the ability to set schedules and activities based specifically on the needs of the Base. Compliance with the permit is based only on activities performed by the Base. MCBCL can enter into agreements with other communities to perform portions of the required activities. However, MCBCL will be held ultimately responsible for permit compliance with its own permit. It is recommended that MCBCL pursue a Phase II permit as a single MS4. B.4 PERMITTING SCHEDULE AND IMPLEMENTATION According to the Federal and State regulations, the NOI for the NPDES Phase II permit is due on March 10, 2003. The length of the permit period is five years. At the end of this time, the permit is renegotiated and reissued for five more years. States that have been given regulatory permitting authority can establish a different permitting schedule over the first five-year permitting period. It should be noted that MCBCL is not required to have already implemented (i.e., already be in compliance with) their proposed program by the date of their initial application. MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 B4 B.5 RECORD KEEPING AND REPORTING Sections II(H)(3)(c)(i) and (ii) of the federal rule discuss record keeping and reporting, respectively. Section (i) states that the NPDES permitting authority will be required to include at least the minimum appropriate record keeping conditions in each permit. Additionally, the NPDES permitting authority could specify that permittees develop, maintain, and/or submit other records to determine compliance with permit conditions. The permittee must keep these records for a minimum of three years but would not be required to submit records to the NPDES permitting authority unless specifically directed to do so. MCBCL is required to make the records, including the storm water management program, available to the public at reasonable times during regular business hours. MCBCL should also be able to assess a reasonable charge for copying and to establish advance notice requirements, not to exceed two business days, for members of the public to copy records. Section (ii) states that the Base is required to submit annual reports to the NPDES permitting authority for the first permit term. For subsequent terms, the Base must submit reports in Years 2 and 4 unless the NPDES permitting authority requires more frequent reports. The reports must include: 1. The status of compliance with permit conditions and an assessment of the appropriateness of identified BMPs and progress for achieving measurable goals for each of the six minimum control measures; 2. The results of information collected and analyzed, including monitoring data, if any, during the reporting period; 3. A summary of what storm water activities the permittee plans to undertake during the next reporting cycle; and, 4. Changes in any identified measurable goal or goals that apply to program elements. B.6 THE SIX MINIMUM CONTROL MEASURES The six minimum control measures required for compliance with NPDES Phase II regulations are described in detail in the sections below. The minimum control measures are divided into mandatory requirements and suggested activities and guidance. Paragraphs contained in the shaded boxes are taken directly from the federal regulation (§122.34(b)). The suggested activities and guidance are based upon MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 B5 the recommendations also found in the federal regulation but are modified to accommodate military installations. B.6.1 Public Education and Outreach on Storm Water Impacts For military installations, EPA has interpreted “public” as the “resident and employee population within the fence line of the facility.” Any reference to the “public” in this document is to be interpreted as such. MCBCL public education and outreach activities do not have to extend into the surrounding communities. EPA believes that as the public gains a greater understanding of the storm water program, the facility is likely to gain more support for the program. In addition, compliance with the NPDES Phase II program would probably be greater if the public is well educated on storm water pollution prevention. Well-informed citizens could even act as formal or informal educators to further disseminate information and gather support for the program, thus easing the burden on the facility to perform educational activities. Mandatory Requirement §122.34(b)(1) (1) Public education and outreach on storm water impacts. (i) You must implement a public education program to distribute educational materials to the community or conduct equivalent outreach activities about the impacts of storm water discharges on water bodies and the steps that can be taken to reduce storm water pollution. Suggested Activities and Guidance The educational materials or public outreach program(s) implemented should inform staff and residents about steps that can be taken to reduce storm water pollution. Examples of such steps include limiting the use and runoff of garden chemicals, and properly disposing of used motor oil and household hazardous materials. The program should also provide information on becoming involved in local stream and storm water quality related activities coordinated by the military facility, youth service organizations, conservation corps, or other citizens’ groups. EPA encourages regulated communities to find and use educational materials from the State, EPA, or from outside groups; such as trade associations, public interest organizations, and environmental groups. The materials or outreach programs should be targeted at on-site departments likely to cause significant storm water impacts. The programs should explain their potential contribution to storm water pollution and ways to prevent runoff contamination. MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 B6 In fulfilling the public education requirement, regulated municipalities and military installations are encouraged to: • Tailor the program to address the viewpoints and concerns of all members of the community or Base, including minority and disadvantaged communities, as well as children. • Enter into State or regional partnerships to fulfill the public education requirement. It is more cost-effective to utilize a State or regional education program instead of numerous regulated communities developing their own. • Work with other regulated communities or organizations (e.g., environmental and nonprofit groups and industry) that might be able to assist in fulfilling this requirement. Many such organizations already have educational materials, and the groups could work together to educate the public. B.6.2 Public Involvement and Participation EPA believes that the public can provide valuable input and assistance to the development and implementation of the military facility’s storm water program. However, there are challenges associated with public involvement, such as addressing conflicting viewpoints, dealing with non-interest, and slowing down the decision making process. The advantages of active public involvement include reduced pollutant loadings, increased program support, and vigilant protection of waterbodies. Although public inclusion requires time and money, the benefits are numerous: • An educated public increases program compliance from residents and employees as they realize their individual and collective responsibility for protecting water resources; • An educated public is more likely to understand the environmental benefits of a municipal storm water program and, therefore, may be more willing to participate in such a program; • When the public is actively involved from the program’s inception and allowed to participate in the decision making process, the program is more likely to succeed in meeting its goals; and • The public’s participation is also useful in the areas of information dissemination/education and reporting of violators. MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 B7 Early and frequent public involvement can shorten implementation schedules and broaden public support for a program. Mandatory Requirement(s) §122.34(b)(2) (2) Public involvement/participation. (i) You must, at a minimum, comply with State, Tribal and local public notice requirements when implementing a public involvement/participation program. Suggested Activities and Guidance Examples of methods that could be used to foster public participation in the NPDES Phase II program are as follows: • The military facility could allow the public to participate as actively involved partners in program planning, development, and implementation. Opportunities for members of the public to participate in program development and implementation could include: • Serving as a stakeholder during program development; • Attending storm water stakeholder meetings; • Working as volunteers to educate other individuals about the program; • Assisting in program coordination with other pre-existing programs; and, • Aiding in the development and distribution of educational materials or participating in volunteer monitoring efforts. B.6.3 Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Illicit discharges are defined in the federal regulations (§ 122.26(b)(2)), as any discharge to an MS4 that is not composed entirely of storm water, except discharges pursuant to an NPDES permit and discharges resulting from fire fighting activities. Illicit discharges can enter the system through either direct connections (e.g., wastewater piping either mistakenly or deliberately connected to the storm drains) or indirect connections (e.g., infiltration into the storm drain system or spills collected by drain inlets). Example of illicit discharges include sanitary wastewater; effluent from septic tanks; car wash; laundry and other industrial wastewaters; improper disposal of auto and household toxins; and spills from roadway and other accidents. MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 B8 Mandatory Requirement(s) §122.34(b)(3) (3) Illicit discharge detection and elimination. (i) You must develop, implement and enforce a program to detect and eliminate illicit discharges (as defined at § 122.26(b)(2)) into your small MS4. (ii) You must: (A) Develop, if not already completed, a storm sewer system map, showing the location of all outfalls and the names and location of all Waters of the United States that receive discharges from those outfalls; (B) To the extent allowable under State, Tribal or local law, effectively prohibit through ordinance, or other regulatory mechanism, non-storm water discharges into your storm sewer system and implement appropriate enforcement procedures and actions; (C) Develop and implement a plan to detect and address non-storm water discharges , including illegal dumping to your system; and (D) Inform public employees, businesses, and the general public of hazards associated with illegal discharges and improper disposal of waste. (iii) You need to address the following categories of non-storm water discharges or flows (i.e., illicit discharges) only if you identify them as significant contributors of pollutants to your small MS4: • Water line flushing, • Landscape irrigation, • Diverted stream flows, • Rising ground waters, • Uncontaminated groundwater infiltration (as defined at 40 CFR 35.2005(20)), • Uncontaminated pumped ground water, • 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 washwater (discharges or flows from fire fighting are excluded from the effective prohibition against non-storm water and need only be addressed where they are identified as significant sources of pollution to the Waters of the United States. MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 B9 Suggested Activities and Guidance EPA recommends that the military facility’s illicit discharge program include procedures for locating priority areas likely for illicit discharges (through visual screening during dry weather or conducting field tests of selected pollutants), procedures for tracing and removing the source of illicit discharges, and procedures for program evaluation and assessment. The mapping requirements of the illicit discharge detection and elimination control requires a map or set of maps that show the locations of outfalls, and names and locations of receiving waters. In addition, it may be necessary to map the storm sewer system leading to an outfall, in order to determine the source of the discharge. A coding system should be used to mark and identify each outfall. Regulated communities have flexibility in the size, scale, and type of mapping (e.g., computer or hand-drafted); the coding system used; and the method(s) used to develop the mapping. B.6.4 Construction Site Storm Water Runoff Control The NPDES Phase II Program §122.34(b)(4) contains the requirements for control of storm water runoff from construction sites. The regulation requires regulated small MS4s to develop and enforce a pollutant control program for storm water runoff from construction activities larger than one acre. This includes construction activity less than one acre if it is part of a larger common plan of development or sale that would disturb one acre or more, such as a subdivision that is developed on a lot-by-lot basis. Mandatory Requirement(s) §122.34(b)(4) (4) Construction site storm water runoff control. (i) You must develop, implement, and enforce a program to reduce pollutants in any storm water runoff to your small MS4 that result in a land disturbance of greater than or equal to one acre. Reduction of storm water discharges from construction activity less than one acre must be included in your program if that construction activity is part of a larger common plan of development or sale that would disturb one acre or more. If the NPDES permitting authority waives requirements for storm water discharges associated with small construction activity in accordance with § 122.26(b)(15)(i), you are not required to develop, implement, and /or enforce a program to reduce pollutant discharges from such sites. (ii) Your program must include the development and implementation of, at a minimum: MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 B10 (A) An ordinance or other regulatory mechanism to require erosion and sediment controls, as well as sanctions to ensure compliance, to the extent allowable under State, Tribal, or local law; (B) Requirements for construction site operators to implement appropriate erosion and sediment control best management practices; (C) Requirements for construction site operators to control waste such as discarded building materials, concrete truck washout, chemicals, litter, and sanitary waste at the construction site that may cause adverse impacts to water quality; (D) Procedures for site plan review which incorporate consideration of potential water quality impacts; (E) Procedures for receipt and consideration of information submitted by the public; (F) Procedures for site inspection and enforcement of control measures. Suggested Activities and Guidance Site plan review procedures should include a pre-construction review to ensure consistency with erosion and sedimentation control requirements. Priority sites should be identified and regulations enforced based on the nature of the construction activity, topography, and characteristics of the soils and receiving waters. To ensure compliance, EPA recommends the military facility provide educational and training measures to construction site operators. In conjunction with these requirements, EPA will allow small MS4s to exclude from their program those construction sites for which the permitting authority has already waived permit requirements. An example presented in the regulation is for a permitting authority that does not require permit coverage for construction sites less than five acres where the erodibility factor is less than 0.2. In this case, the regulated MS4 can choose to waive program requirements for sites that fall under these criteria. To date, NCDENR DW Q has not identified any situations for which they will waive permit requirements. B.6.5 Post-Construction Storm Water Management in New Development and Redevelopment EPA recognizes that prior planning and design for the minimization of pollutants in storm water discharges is more cost-effective than reducing the discharge of pollutants after it has occurred. Therefore, in §122.34(b)(5), EPA will require regulated communities to address storm water runoff from new development and redevelopment MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 B11 projects that disturb one acre or more and discharge into the small MS4. This includes areas smaller than one acre that are part of a larger common development plan or sale. Note that the term ‘‘redevelopment’’ refers to alterations of a property that changes the ‘‘footprint’’ of a site or building in such a way that results in the disturbance of equal to or greater than one acre of land. The term is not intended to include such activities as exterior remodeling, which would not be expected to cause adverse storm water quality impacts and offer no new opportunity for storm water controls. Mandatory Requirement(s) §122.34(b)(5) (5) Post-construction storm water management in new development and redevelopment (i) You must develop, implement, and enforce a program to address storm water runoff from new development and redevelopment projects that disturb greater than or equal to one acre, including projects less than one acre that are part of a larger common plan of development or sale, that discharge into your small MS4. Your program must ensure that controls are in place that would prevent or minimize water quality impacts. (ii) You must: (A) Develop and implement strategies which include a combination of structural and/or non-structural best management practices (BMPs) appropriate for your community; (B) Use an ordinance or other regulatory mechanism to address post- construction runoff from new development and redevelopment projects to the extent allowable under State, Tribal or local law; and, (C) Ensure adequate long-term operation and maintenance of BMPs. Suggested Activities and Guidance Regulated communities have significant flexibility both to develop this measure as appropriate to address local concerns and to apply new control technologies as they become available. Since storm water technologies are constantly being improved, EPA recommends that municipal and military installation requirements be responsive to these changes and that the BMPs chosen are appropriate for the local community in minimizing water quality impacts. EPA also states that the BMPs should attempt to maintain pre-development conditions. In developing the program, EPA encourages the regulated communities to adopt a planning process that includes stakeholders and interested citizens, and clearly identifies the post-construction program’s goals, BMP implementation strategies, operation and maintenance policies, and enforcement procedures. MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 B12 This minimum control measure effectively makes the communities proactive in their storm water program, rather than reactive. For example, a significant aspect of the post-construction minimum control measure is that the regulated communities will now be accountable for the proper maintenance and operation of storm water control facilities, such as sediment ponds and detention ponds. This does not mean they are required to do the maintenance, but that they have to use their enforcement powers to insure it is done. This requirement indirectly encourages the regulated communities to implement non-structural BMPs (i.e., preventative planning, management and source control activities). Because non-structural alternatives reduce or eliminate the source of pollutant loadings in storm water runoff, they are typically more cost-effective than construction and maintenance of structural facilities. Examples of non-structural BMPs for post-construction runoff control are: • Policies that direct growth to certain areas, protect sensitive areas such as wetlands and riparian areas, maintain or increase open space, minimize impervious surfaces, minimize soil and vegetative disturbances, and provide buffers along sensitive water bodies; • Education programs for contractors and the public about project designs that minimize water quality impacts, such as preserving open space, cluster development, minimizing directly connected impervious areas, and using swales or landscaped areas as buffers; and • The use of non-structural infiltration and filtration practices (maintenance of open space, buffer zones, wetland and riparian protection). Examples of structural BMPs include, but are not limited to: • The use of structural infiltration and infiltration practices (porous pavement, infiltration basins, swales, sand filters, filter strips); and • The use of storage practices (wet ponds, extended-detention outlet structures). B.6.6 Pollution Prevention/ Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations This minimum control measure, defined by §122.34(b)(6), addresses military facility “in- house” operations. In general, the requirement to develop and implement an operation and maintenance program, including employee training, is meant to ensure that on-site MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 B13 activities are performed in the most appropriate way to minimize contamination of storm water discharges, rather than requiring the facility to undertake new activities. Mandatory Requirement(s) §122.34(b)(6) (6) Pollution prevention/good housekeeping for municipal operations (i) You must develop and implement an operation and maintenance program that includes a training component and has the ultimate goal of preventing or reducing pollutant runoff from municipal operations. Using training materials that are available from EPA, your State, Tribe, or other organizations, your program must include employee water pollution from activities such as park and open space maintenance, fleet and building maintenance, new construction and land disturbances, and storm water system maintenance. Suggested Activities and Guidance Regulated communities should consider the following items in developing such a program: • Maintenance activities, maintenance schedules, and long-term inspection procedures for structural and other storm water controls to reduce floatables and other pollutants discharged from the separate storm sewers; • Controls for reducing or eliminating the discharge of pollutants from streets, roads, highways, parking lots, maintenance and storage yards (e.g., salt/sand storage locations, snow disposal areas), and waste transfer stations—including programs that promote recycling and pesticide use minimization; • Procedures for the proper disposal of waste removed from the separate storm sewer systems and areas listed above, including dredge spoil, accumulated sediments, floatables, and other debris; and • Ways to ensure that new flood management projects assess the impacts on water quality and examine existing projects for incorporation of additional water quality protection devices or practices. MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 B14 B.7 ADDITIONAL NORTH CAROLINA REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS NCDENR DW Q is the permitting authority for NPDES Phase II in the State of North Carolina. States that have been given permitting authority have the right to modify the NPDES Phase II regulations to impose stricter standards for their own regulated communities, to modify the permitting process and schedule, and to choose from several of permit types. The federal regulations give several options to the permitting authority on the process, schedule requirements, and the permit types. NCDENR requirements provide clarification to the federal requirements and include additional provisions for post-construction runoff controls. The required State post-construction requirements for MCBCL are outlined below. B.7.1 Model Ordinance NCDENR is required to develop a model ordinance including BMPs to control and manage storm water runoff from development and redevelopment sites. NCDENR must work in cooperation with local governments to develop this model ordinance and the model ordinance must be approved by the Environmental Management Commission. There is no timeline established for developing the model ordinance. B.7.2 Implementation Deadline Pursuant to Rule 15A North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC), paragraph 2H.0126(10)(d)(i), the deadline for implementation of the local post-construction storm water program is March 10, 2005. B.7.3 Low Density/ High Density Projects Pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H.0126(10)(e), a post-construction storm water management program for new development/ redevelopment shall be based on low density or high density controls for projects disturbing an acre or more of land area. As outlined under 15A NCAC 2H.0126(10)(e)(i)(A), low density projects shall be: No more than 2 dwelling units per acre or 24 percent built-upon area (BUA) for development; Storm water runoff from the development shall be transported from the development by vegetated conveyances to the MEP; BUA shall be at a minimum of 30 feet landward of perennial and intermittent surface waters; and MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 B15 Deed restrictions and protective covenants are required to ensure that development activities maintain the development consistent with the approved project plans. MCBCL is prohibited by federal law from placing deed restrictions or protection covenants. Therefore, in practice on the Base, this is done by providing a Boundary Survey. As outlined under 15A NCAC 2H.0126(10)(e)(i)(B), projects that do not conform to low density requirements are deemed high density. High density projects shall: Control and treat the difference in storm water runoff volume leaving the project site between the pre and post development conditions for the 1 year/ 24 hour storm. Runoff volume drawdown time shall be a minimum of 24 hours, but not more than 120 hours; Structural storm water treatment systems used to meet the requirements of the program shall be designed to have an 85% average annual removal for total suspended solids; General Engineering Design criteria for projects shall be in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.1008(c); BUA shall be at a minimum of 30 feet landward of perennial and intermittent surface waters; and Deed restrictions and protective covenants are required to ensure that development activities maintain the development consistent with the approved project plans. MCBCL is prohibited by federal law from placing deed restrictions or protection covenants. Therefore, in practice on the Base, this is done by providing a Boundary Survey. B.7.4 Additional Requirements for Fecal Coliform Pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H.0126(10)(g), the post-construction storm water program shall control fecal coliform sources to the MEP. At a minimum, this shall include the development and implementation of an oversight program to ensure proper operation and maintenance of on-site wastewater treatment systems for domestic wastewater. B.7.5 Additional Requirements for SA Waters Pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H.0126(10)(h), for programs with development/ redevelopment draining to SA waters, which are saltwater streams or lakes designated for fish consumption and protection of aquatic life, additional program elements must be incorporated into the storm water management program. The SA waters requirements include the development, adoption, and implementation of order(s) or Base policies that ensure (1) the selection of appropriate BMPs for reducing fecal coliform to the MEP, and (2) implementation of a pet waste management program. MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 B16 In addition, new direct points of storm water discharge to SA waters or expansion of existing points of discharge to any constructed storm water conveyance system, or constructed system of conveyances that discharge to SA waters, shall not be allowed. Expansion is defined as an increase in drainage area or an increase in impervious surface within the drainage area resulting in a net increase in peak flow or volume from the 1-year/ 24-hour storm. Overland sheetflow of storm water or storm water discharge to a wetland, vegetated buffer, or other natural area capable of providing treatment or absorption will not be considered a direct point of storm water discharge for the purposes of this Rule. B.7.6 Additional Requirements for Nutrient Sensitive Waters Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW ) is a supplemental DWQ classification intended for waters needing additional nutrient management due to their being subject to excessive growth of microscopic or macroscopic vegetation. In general, management strategies for point and non-point source pollution requires control of nutrients (usually nitrogen and/or phosphorus) such that excessive growth of vegetation is reduced or prevented, and there is no increase in nutrients over target levels. Nutrient management strategies are site-specific. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H.0126(10)(h), for development/ redevelopment draining to NSW , the following must be incorporated into the storm water management program: (1) A Base Order or policy must be developed, adopted, and implemented to ensure that the BMP for reducing nutrient loading is selected while still meeting the requirements of Rule 15A NCAC 2H.0126(10)(d); and (2) a nutrient application management program (including both inorganic fertilizer and organic nutrients) shall be developed and included in the storm water management program.

Programmatic, equipment and/or staffing needs or problems that exist in the current storm water program were identified. Regulatory documents, such as the Storm W ater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), and other information relevant to water quality were also reviewed. MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 C4 This section presents an overview of the MCBCL’s current storm water program, in comparison to the federal and state NPDES Phase II regulations. Based upon the meetings with staff, the Base’s existing storm water management program contains many NPDES Phase II related elements, including the following: • Staff training; • Plans review; • Construction site runoff control; • Inspection and enforcement; and • Good housekeeping practices. While the Base’s program contains these elements, the Base may not be fully incorporating water quality, as required by NPDES Phase II rules. MCBCL’s storm water program components are spread throughout several departments including Public Works, Environmental, and ROICC Office. Currently, the Environmental Office acts as the coordinating agency. C.1 PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREACH ON STORM WATER IMPACTS Current educational efforts are focused on staff. A SWPPP Training CD has been designed for the MCBCL industrial areas; staff attend a Management of Hazardous Material/ Hazardous Waste course and a Commanders’ Awareness Course; and ROICC holds pre-construction meetings with contractors to review MCBCL requirements for Sediment and Erosion Control BMPs and Safety. Construction inspectors with the ROICC Office are required to obtain inspector training, provided internally. MCBCL has many avenues for communication within its community. The MCBCL Public Affairs Office (PAO) publishes a weekly newspaper, The Globe, available on- and off–Base at designated locations. The MCAS PAO publishes a weekly newspaper, Rotoview, also available on and off–Base at designated locations. MCBCL Base schools publish a periodic newsletter in-house. Other existing area newspapers include The Daily News, which is distributed throughout the City of Jacksonville and Onslow County. An internal cable channel serves as a message board for the offices and homes with cable television. MCAS has developed a website and the Environmental Management Division (EMD) is in the process of developing a website. The Public Affairs office is capable of sending Base-wide emails. Marine Corps Community Services (MCCS) organizes the Spring Fling beach event yearly. Other events MCBCL MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 C5 participates in or organizes include Earth Day, America Recycles Day, Arbor Day, Ecomania (sponsored by MCCS) and Big Sweep, a North Carolina State University sponsored event. Additional opportunities for public education and outreach exist on the Base. Residents of the Base are given a Welcome Package upon arrival containing information about services provided, maintenance needs, etc. No storm water issues are currently addressed in this packet. C.2 PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT Outside of the industrial areas represented on the Storm W ater Pollution Prevention Team, the MCBCL has formed Storm Water Stakeholder Groups for development of the NPDES Phase II Storm Water Management Plan. The stakeholder groups attended six minimum control measure (MCM) meetings and included representatives from various departments within MCBCL’s Installations and Environment (I&E) Department, LANTDIV, and the City of Jacksonville, Onslow County, the New River Foundation, and the NC State Cooperative Extension Service. There are several opportunities for the public to be involved in environmental affairs at MCBCL. Earth Day, America Recycles Day, Arbor Day, Ecomania, and Big Sweep are existing events that MCBCL sponsors to promote environmental awareness and to provide ways for the public to volunteer their time. In addition, two clubs currently existing on-Base focus on environmental issues. They are the High School Ecology Club and the Conservation Volunteer Program (CVP), which has approximately 100 members. The CVP mission is to assist MCBCL Natural Resources Personnel in achieving the objectives and goals of the Base Integrated Natural and Cultural Resources Management Plan (INRMP and ICRMP) and increase community awareness of ecosystem management and conservation programs and techniques through the use of both military and civilian volunteers. C.3 ILLICIT DISCHARGE DETECTION AND ELIMINATION MCBCL has a detailed drainage system map with flow patterns, outfalls, and drainage basins identified. The entire Base storm drainage mapping (GIS) has been recently updated in the urbanized areas, including the coverage for Waters of the State, storm water management ponds, storm drainage ditches, and drainage infrastructure (pipes and structures) for urbanized areas of the Base. The mapping will continue to be updated periodically. MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 C6 MCBCL has also recently updated the GIS database. This update included the coverage of MCBCL’s industrial buildings, drainage basins, and outfalls as part of the Base SWPPP update. Non-industrial outfalls and drainage basins in urbanized areas of the Base were also updated. The industrial sites are inspected semi-annually. The database will continue to be updated periodically. MCBCL completed a comprehensive Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) Study in 1993 for the development of a SWPPP for the Phase I permit. This IDDE involved the dye testing of industrial and sanitary drains within structures on the Base. In addition, MCAS completed a 1998 Hangar Drain Study. Floor drains in the majority of maintenance shop bays have been plugged. Housing units are connected to the sanitary sewer system. A ROICC representative inspects construction sites for illicit connections. Household hazardous material is accepted at designated areas of the Base. The Recycling Program on-Base covers the typical household generated items, such as cans, plastic, and newspapers; and extends to scrap metal recycling, antifreeze, and oil. A recycling drop off is located at the MCBCL landfill. C.4 CONSTRUCTION SITE STORM WATER RUNOFF CONTROL New construction and demolition plans are reviewed and modified, if needed, by the Public W orks Division. A Base policy exists that addresses construction site runoff. Erosion and sediment control (ESC) is addressed during the site plan review and an ESC plan required for construction sites greater than one acre. The ROICC office staff inspect MCBCL facility construction projects daily and require contractors to inspect and submit inspection reports to ROICC. Construction sites are inspected; including erosion and sediment control, and illicit connection detection. The ROICC inspectors review the inspection reports to ensure that the sites are being adequately managed. The ROICC has the authority to halt construction or payment until proper control measures are taken. Additionally, the Civil Engineering Department coordinates with the local Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) to utilize an erosion and sediment control inspector for small construction projects that do not require a construction permit. MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 C7 C.5 POST-CONSTRUCTION STORM WATER MANAGEMENT IN NEW DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT MCBCL has maintenance practices for post-construction structural BMPs on the Base. The following post-construction related structural BMPs have been installed and are being maintained on-site: • Detention ponds – several wet detention ponds are located throughout MCBCL. The Environmental Compliance Branch (ECB) inspects the permitted ponds on-Base semi-annually. In addition, MCBCL has recently contracted the dredging of 32 ponds on-Base and the repair of pond side banks. • Grass swales - storm water drainage primarily flows through grass swales before entering catch basins or area drains throughout the facility. • Vegetation policy – while a formal policy is not in place, certain aspects are addressed. “Bare spots” of grass/ vegetation occurring on side banks of ponds and swales are addressed as needed on a continual basis. Bahia grass is not allowed to be planted on the Base. • Riparian Buffers – NCDENR requirements are followed for SA waters. • Integrated site and storm water infrastructure design standards follow those set by NCDENR. C.6 GOOD HOUSEKEEPING PRACTICES For regulated industrial activities, the SWPPP outlines procedures to evaluate each facility (tenant) on the incorporation of baseline BMPs, including good housekeeping practices. These BMPs emphasize the implementation of pollution prevention measures and the reduction of possible pollutant discharges at the source. For areas outside the industrial activities, the following list of good housekeeping procedures was noted to be incorporated into existing practice: • Loose garbage and waste material is picked up and disposed of regularly; • Housing area streets are swept monthly; • Equipment is kept in good working order; • Limited exterior painting operations are performed; • Routine inspections are conducted for leaks or conditions creating possibility for spills; MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 C8 • Employees are trained on spill cleanup procedures; • Adequate space is provided for material transfer and storage, easy access for inspections, and prevention of accidental spills; and • Catch basins, oil/water separators (OW Ss) and wash racks are routinely inspected and/or maintained. Several other pollution prevention an good housekeeping measures are employed on MCBCL. MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 D1 D. STATUS OF OTHER LOCAL REGULATED COMMUNITIES Currently, NPDES Phase II communities in the area surrounding MCBCL are the City of Jacksonville and Onslow County. The City of Jacksonville is currently preparing their Notice of Intent and Storm W ater Management Plan and plan to submit by March 10, 2003. The City of Jacksonville and MCBCL have actively participated in each others’ stakeholder meetings. Although permitting separately, the City of Jacksonville and MCBCL have agreed to cooperate and partner when possible to assist each other in meeting the minimum control measures, particularly the Public Education and Outreach and Public Involvement and Participation. In accordance with Rule 15A NCAC 2H.0126(7)(b)(iii)(B), regulated public entities that do not own or operate a small MS4 may apply to implement the post-construction control and good housekeeping/ pollution prevention minimum control measures using the “permitted by rule” option. Onslow County will be applying under this permitted by rule option and has formed a stakeholder group to assist in the preparation of the NOI and SWMP, which will outline how the County will address the post-construction control and good housekeeping/ pollution prevention MCMs. Under this option, the State is responsible for implementing the remaining minimum control measure requirements through existing programs to the extent allowed. MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 E1 E. ACTION ITEMS There are potential ways to save time and money in preparation for the NPDES Phase II permitting process. Any MS4 going into a permitting situation with an informed plan and approach will fare far better with the permit writer than one that does not. Therefore, it is a good idea to plan ahead, take steps toward compliance, and position the MS4 to meet the expected demands of the permit. This section addresses the interim steps that should be taken in development of a long-term storm water management program. First, we outline general issues that the MCBCL facility must address in further developing and fine-tuning its storm water program. Next, we provide a list of specific action items that must be taken in order to prepare for compliance with NPDES Phase II regulations. E.1 GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS The following items list issues or considerations that MCBCL should keep in mind when developing its storm water program and preparing for the NPDES Phase II permitting process. 1. Keep the internal MCBCL audiences informed. One of the keys to developing a successful storm water program is to keep the acting administration and any affected agencies and departments informed about the NPDES Phase II regulations and actions that the facility must take to comply. 2. Continue to assess costs. An initial cost estimate of developing and implementing a NPDES Phase II program is contained in Section F. A number of assumptions were made to develop those costs. As MCBCL becomes more focused on the NPDES Phase II program and identifies specific activities, more defined costs should be developed. Program plans and estimated costs should be presented to an informed administration early in the process to make sure the budget will reflect what is needed for NPDES Phase II compliance activities. 3. Define reasonable BMPs and measurable goals for each control. Remember that MS4s are not required to have already implemented their proposed program by the date of their initial permit application. Prior to NOI submittal on March 10, 2003, MCBCL has to decide what it is willing and able to do to meet each of the six minimum control measures and how compliance will be measured. Items to consider during this process include cost, equipment and/or staffing needs, capabilities of staff to implement new policies, public or MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 E2 stakeholder interest, and public or stakeholder opposition. Remember, the storm water program developed to comply with the NPDES Phase II regulations should be tailored as much as possible to the environmental needs, level of public support, and reasonable staffing and funding capabilities of MCBCL. Parts of the program that are new to the MCBCL facility that may be particularly difficult to implement should be investigated prior to permit negotiations. 4. Negotiate a reasonable program to meet the six minimum control measures. As stated previously, the regulatory language of the NPDES Phase II requirements is vague, and it is unclear what NCDENR DW Q will consider the absolute minimum requirements for compliance for each regulated community. Therefore, MCBCL should negotiate reasonable permit conditions with NCDENR DWQ. Activities and actions that go beyond the permit requirements should be documented and reported as part of the normal NPDES Phase II reporting requirements but should not be proposed as permit conditions. 5. Develop a method of record keeping. NCDENR DWQ will require regulated MS4s to prove their compliance with the NPDES Phase II permit through reporting tasks. Therefore, documentation of compliance activities is essential. With the initial permitting and annual reporting requirements in mind, MCBCL actions that are directed toward any aspect of storm water management should be documented and maintained at a central location. A filing system should be designed to provide ready access to supporting documentation that may be required for the NPDES Phase II permit application and annual reports. Documentation of public education and participation activities could be as simple as filing away a copy of the informational material or an activity schedule. Simple check sheets can be developed for illicit discharge inspections or construction and post-construction plan reviews and inspections. 6. Review and expand current complaint management. As citizens are better educated on water quality issues and become more vigilant, MCBCL should expect additional citizen inquiries and complaints. There is no need to develop multiple complaint handling systems, but instead review and expand the existing systems to handle various types of water-quantity and quality related problems, including construction site runoff complaints and illicit discharge suspicions. The majority of this review can be done during the permit period, but the complaint handling process should be kept in mind when developing parts of the NPDES Phase II compliance program. MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 E3 Adequate documentation and tracking of each complaint received can be utilized as documentation of compliance with the NPDES Phase II regulations for several controls and will enable MCBCL to track and assess its own programs. 7. Update existing policies and contract language to address NPDES Phase II requirements. MCBCL has standard documents addressing different facets of construction, good housekeeping practices, and illicit discharges. Each of these documents should be compared to the Phase II requirements to ensure consistency and compliance. 8. Update plan review checklists. As the new program elements are developed, plans review checklists for the erosion and sediment control and post- construction runoff control programs should be updated. These checklists will help ensure consistency with the adopted guidelines. E.2 RECOMMENDED ACTION ITEMS Table 2 in Section 7 presents the BMPs that MCBCL currently implements and proposes to implement as part of the NPDES Phase II permit. The action items are organized by minimum control measure. As the program is developed, this table should be revisited and modified on a yearly basis to determine what tasks have been completed, if there is a need to re-arrange the schedule and/or tasks, what other commitments should be planned, and whether new goals or tasks should be added. Some recommendations are partially dependent on others, thereby dictating the schedule for the activities. MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 F1 F. STORM WATER PROGRAM COSTS F.1 ESTIMATION OF COST There is much speculation on the actual program elements and costs for a particular storm water program developed under NPDES Phase II regulations. There is question about the vagueness in the regulatory language, and the high degree of potential flexibility inherent in briefly described program elements. For example, for the first of the minimum control measures the regulatory language states: Public education and outreach on storm water impacts. You must implement a public education program to distribute educational materials to the community or conduct equivalent outreach activities about the impacts of storm water discharges on water bodies and the steps that can be taken to reduce storm water pollution. (You may use storm water educational materials provided by your State, Tribe, EPA, environmental, public interest or trade organizations, or other MS4s. The public education program should inform individuals and households about the steps they can take to reduce storm water pollution, such as ensuring proper septic system maintenance, ensuring the proper use and disposal of landscape and garden chemicals ….) The “regulatory” wording in parenthesis is not mandatory but suggestive, and there is wide room for interpretation of the intensity and detail necessary to accomplish this minimum control measure. There will always be great variability in what two different programs intend to do to accomplish the same general goals. There have been several attempts at estimating NPDES Phase II program costs based on current costs of “similar” programs. EPA has provided estimates of the probable cost implications of the NPDES Phase II Permit based on summary information from the permit applications from 21 Phase I cities. No information has been compiled about the cost of implementing Phase II requirements at military installations. The results of EPA’s city cost study ranged from $1.39 to $7.83 per person per year for the first permit five-year period, and $1.28 to $5.63 for other permit cycles. For a city of 103,455 (based upon the 2000 census), that is a wide range of $143,800 to about $810,050 annually for the first permit cycle. These costs only consider NPDES compliance and not general storm water needs beyond NPDES. MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 F2 The estimated costs for development and implementation of a comprehensive storm water program were based on the action items shown in Table 2 of Section 7. The following assumptions were made when developing the estimates: • Equipment and other overhead costs were not included in the estimates in Table F1 through F5. An in-depth financial analysis is needed to address those costs. • Brynn Ashton will be the Storm W ater Engineer and primary developer. • Unit costs for labor categories are fully burdened rates that include salary and overhead costs. This is an estimate based on primarily private sector rates. • No outside services were used for the day-to-day running of the program (i.e., implementation activities). • Post-construction BMP costs were not included for the design and construction of structural BMPs. The cost of the program will depend upon the type(s) and number of BMPs installed and the potential of retrofitting existing BMPs. • Costs for the illicit discharge program are primarily for equipment such as a camera unit, test kits, etc. • Costs for the ongoing street sweeping program include only the labor costs for reporting and record keeping. These costs do not include the equipment and labor costs required to perform street sweeping. An estimate of new storm water program costs is provided in Tables F1 through F5, meaning that new time for existing staff is included, and capital and maintenance costs are not. Costs of the program include implementation and development costs. It should be noted that the costs shown are rough and approximate. MCBCL may opt to do more or less for some action items; therefore, the costs should be considered a general estimate for budgeting purposes. The following tables illustrate cost for the each fiscal year of the five-year permit, Years 1-5. These costs are preliminary and will need adjusting as the program evolves over time.

The estimated annual costs for development and implementation of MCBCL’s comprehensive storm water management program over the five-year period are presented in Tables F1 through F5.

DEFINITIONS Allowable Discharge is a non-storm water discharge identified by the regulated small MS4 as not to be a significant contributor of pollutants, such as water line flushing, foundation drains, irrigation water, and discharges from potable water sources. Backfill is earth used to fill a trench or an excavation. Baffles are fin-like devices installed vertically on the inside walls of liquid transport vehicles that are used to reduce the movement of the waste inside the tank. Berm is an earthen mound used to direct the flow of runoff around or through a structure. Best Management Practices (BMPs) means a practice or a combination or series of practices and measures designed to prevent or minimize the amount of pollution generated from sources such as access roads and haul roads, spoil storage and stockpile areas, site preparation, installation of culverts, steam crossings and bridges, and other related activities. BMPs may be either non-structural or structural. Non-structural BMPs are intended to reduce the generation and accumulation of pollutants through planning, management, and education. Structural BMPs are used to delay, capture, store, treat, or infiltrate storm water runoff. Biodegradable is the ability to breakdown or decompose under natural conditions and processes.

Discharge is a release or flow of storm water or other substance from a conveyance or storage container. Drip Guard is a device used to prevent drips of fuel or corrosive or reactive chemicals from contacting other materials or areas. Dry Weather Screening examines water in the storm sewer system during dry weather, when flows should either be absent or consist only of natural flow. Emission is pollution discharged into the atmosphere from smokestacks, other vents, and surface areas of commercial or industrial facilities and from motor vehicle, locomotive, or aircraft exhausts. Erosion is the wearing away of land surface by wind or water. Erosion occurs naturally from weather or runoff but can be intensified by land-clearing practices related to farming, residential or industrial development, road building, or timber-cutting. Excavation is the process of removing earth, stone, or other materials. MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 I3 Fertilizer is materials such as nitrogen and phosphorus that provide nutrients for plants. Commercially sold fertilizers may contain other chemicals or may be in the form of processed sewage sludge. Filter Fabric is textile of relatively small mesh or pore size that is used to (a) allow water to pass through while keeping sediment out(permeable), or (b) prevent both runoff and sediment from passing through (impermeable). Filter Strip is usually long, relatively narrow area of undisturbed or planted vegetation used to retard or collect sediment for the protection of watercourses reservoirs, or adjacent properties. Flange is a rim extending from the end of a pipe; can be used as a connection to another pipe. Flow Channel Liner is a covering or coating used on the inside surface of a flow channel to prevent the infiltration of water to the ground. Flowmeter is a gauge that shows the speed of water moving through a conveyance. General Permit is a permit issued under the NPDES program to cover a certain class or category of storm water discharges. These permits allow for a reduction in the administrative burden associated with permitting storm water discharges. Grab Sample means an individual sample of at least 100 milliliters collected at a randomly- selected time over a period not exceeding 15 minutes. Grading is the cutting and/or filling of the land surface to a desired sloe or elevation. Hazardous Substances (1) are any materials that pose a threat to human health and/or the environment. Hazardous substances can be toxic, corrosive, ignitable, explosive or chemically reactive. (2) Any substance named required by EPA to be reported if a designated quantity of the substance is spilled in the Waters of the United States or if otherwise emitted into the environment. Hazardous Waste is by-products of human activities that can pose a substantial or potential hazard to human health or the environment when improperly managed. Possesses at least one of four characteristics (ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or toxicity), or appears on special EPA lists. Holding Pond is a pond or reservoir, usually made of earth, built to store polluted runoff for a limited time. Illicit Connection is any discharge to a municipal separate storm sewer that is not composed entirely of storm water except discharges authorized by an NPDES permit MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 I4 (other than the NPDES permit for discharges from the municipal separate storms sewer) and discharges resulting from fire fighting activities. Individual permits are permits issued to a specific facility in response to an individual permit application. Infiltration (1) The penetration of water through the ground surface into sub-surface soil or the penetration of water from the soil into sewer or other pipes through defective joints, connections, or manhole walls. (2) A land application technique where large volumes of wastewater are applied to land, allowed to penetrate the surface and percolate through the underlying soil. Inlet is an entrance into a ditch, storm sewer, or other waterway. Intermediates are chemical compounds formed during the making of a product. Irrigation is human application of water to agricultural or recreational land for watering purposes. Landfills (1) Sanitary landfills are land disposal sites for non-hazardous solid wastes at which the waste is spread in layers, compacted to the smallest practical volume, and cover material applied at the end of each operating day. (2) Secure chemical landfills are disposal sites for hazardous waste. They are selected and designed to minimize the chance of release hazardous substances into the environment. Leaching is the process by which soluble constituents are dissolved in a solvent such as water and carried down through the soil. Level Spreader is a device used to spread out storm water runoff uniformly over the ground surface as sheetflow (i.e., not through channels). The purpose of level spreaders are to prevent concentrated, erosive flows from occurring and to enhance infiltration. Liming is treating soil with lime to neutralize acidity levels. Liner (1) a relatively impermeable barrier designed to prevent leachate from leaking from a landfill. Liner materials include plastic and dense clay. (2) An insert or sleeve for sewer pipes to prevent leakage or infiltration. Liquid Level Detector is a device that provides continuous measures of liquid levels in liquid storage areas or containers to prevent overflows. Mandatory components of the NPDES Phase II Final rule must be implemented. Material Storage Areas are on-site locations where raw materials, products, final products, by-products, or waste materials are stored. MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 I5 Measurable Goals are BMP design objectives or goals that quantify the progress of a MS4 storm water management program implementation and the performance of a minimum control measure BMP. Measurable goals are objective markers or milestones that the MS4 (and the permitting authority) will use to track the progress and effectiveness of the minimum control measure BMPs in reducing pollutants to the maximum extent practical. Mine shall mean an area of land, surface or underground, actively mined for the production of crushed and broken stone from natural deposits. Such area shall also include any adjacent land, the uses of which is incidental to any such activities; all lands affected by the construction of new roads or the improvement or use of existing roads, except maintained public roads, to gain access to the site of such activities and for haulage, excavations, workings, impoundments, dams, dumps, stockpiles, overburden piles, holes or depressions, repair areas, storage areas, and other areas upon which are sited structures, or other property or materials on the surface, resulting from or incident to such activities. Minimum Control Measures are the six MS4 storm water management program elements that when implemented in concert, are expected to result in significant reduction of pollutants discharged to receiving waterbodies. The six minimum control measures are: (1) Public Education and Outreach: distributing educational materials and performing outreach to inform the public about the impacts polluted storm water runoff discharges can have on water quality. (2) Public Participation / Involvement: providing opportunities for the public to participate in program development and implementation, including effectively publicizing public hearings and/or encouraging public representatives on a storm water management panel. (3) Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination: developing and implementing a plan to detect and eliminate illicit discharges to the storm sewer system (includes developing a system map and informing the public about hazards associated with illegal discharges and improper disposal of waste). (4) Construction Site Runoff Control: developing, implementing, and enforcing an erosion and sediment control program for construction activities that disturb 1 or more acres of land (controls could include silt fences and temporary storm water detention ponds). (5) Post-Construction Runoff Control: developing, implementing, and enforcing a program to address discharges of pos-construction storm water runoff from new development and redevelopment areas. Applicable controls could include preventive actions such as protecting sensitive areas (e.g., wetlands) or the use of structural BMPs such as grassed swales or porous pavement. (6) Pollution Prevention / Good Housekeeping: developing and implementing a program with the goal of preventing or reducing pollutant runoff from municipal operations. The program must include staff training on pollution prevention measures and techniques (e.g., regular street sweeping, reduction in the use of pesticides or street salt, or frequent catch-basin cleaning). MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 I6 Monthly Average Concentration is a limitation on the discharge concentration in milligrams per liter, as the arithmetic mean of all daily concentrations determined in a one-month period. Mulch is a natural or artificial layer of plant residue or other materials covering the land surface which conserves moisture, holds soil in place, aids in establishing plant cover, and minimizes temperature fluctuations. National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) means the Federal Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) national program for issuing, modifying, revoking and reissuing, terminating, monitoring, and enforcing water quality permits. The term includes an "approved state program." Non-contact Cooling Water is water used to cool machinery or other materials without directly contacting process chemicals or materials. Notice of Intent is an application to notify the permitting authority of a facility's intention to be covered by a general permit; exempts a facility from having to submit an individual or group application. NPDES is EPA's program to control the discharge of pollutants to Waters of the United States. NPDES Permit An authorization, license, or equivalent control document issued by EPA or an approved State agency to implement the requirements of the NPDES program. Oil and Grease Traps are devices which collect oil and grease, removing them from water flows. Oil Sheen is a thin, glistening layer of oil on water. Oil/Water Separator is a device installed, usually at the entrance to a drain, which removes oil and grease from water flows entering the drain. Organic Pollutants are substances containing carbon which may cause pollution problems in receiving streams. Organic Solvents are liquid organic compounds capable of dissolving solids, gases, or liquids. Outfall is the point, location, or structure where wastewater or drainage discharges from a sewer pipe, ditch, or other conveyance to a receiving body of water. Permeability is the quality of a soil that enables water or air to move through it. Usually expressed in inches/hour or inches/day. MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 I7 Permit is an authorization, license, or equivalent control document issued by EPA or an approved State agency to implement the requirements of an environmental regulation; e.g., a permit to operate a wastewater treatment plant or to operate a facility that may generate harmful emissions. Permit Issuing Authority (or Permitting Authority) is the State agency or EPA Regional office which issues environmental permits to regulated facilities. Phase I Permit is a storm water permit (issued under the NPDES program) intended to initially cover the majority of storm water discharges associated with industrial activities. For example, EPA is planning to issue two baseline general permits: NPDES General Permits for Storm Water Discharges From Construction Activities that are classified as "Associated with Industrial Activity" and NPDES General Permits for Storm Water Discharges from Industrial Activities that are classified as "Associated with Industrial Activities." EPA is also encouraging delegated States which have an approved general program to issue baseline general permits. Phase II Permit is a storm water permit (issued under the NPDES program) requiring coverage for storm water discharges from (1) Certain regulated small municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) and (2) Construction activity disturbing between 1 and 5 acres of land (i.e., small construction activities). Plunge Pool is a basin used to slow flowing water, usually constructed to a design depth and shape. The pool may be protected from erosion by various lining materials. Point Source is any discernible, confined, and discrete conveyance, including but not limited to any pipe, ditch, channel, tunnel, conduit, well, discrete fissure, container, rolling stock, concentrated animal feeding operation, or vessel or other floating craft, from which pollutants are or may be discharged. Pollutant is any dredged spoil, solid waste, incinerator residue, filter backwash, sewage, garbage, sewage sludge, munitions, chemical wastes, biological materials, radioactive materials (except those regulated under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 (U.S.C. 2011 et seg.)), heat, wrecked or discharged equipment, rock, sand, cellar dirt, and industrial, municipal, and agricultural waste discharged into water. It does not mean: (i) Sewage from vessels; or (ii) Water, gas, or other material which is injected into a well to facilitate production of oil or gas, or water derived in association with oil and gas production and disposed of in a well, if the well used either to facilitate production or for disposal purposes is approved by the authority of the State in which the well is located, and if the State determines that the injection or disposal will not result in the degradation of ground or surface water resources. Radioactive materials covered by the Atomic Energy Act are those encompassed in its definition of source, byproduct, or special nuclear materials. Examples of MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 I8 materials covered include radium and accelerator-produced isotopes. See Train v. Colorado Public Interest Research Group, Inc., 426 U.S. 1 (1976). Porous Pavement is a human-made surface that will allow water to penetrate through and percolate into soil (as imperious asphalt pavement or concrete). Porous asphalt pavement is comprised of irregular shaped crush rock pre-coated with asphalt binder. Water seeps through into lower layers of gravel for temporary storage, then filters naturally into the soil. Precipitation is any form of rain or snow. Preventative Maintenance Program is a schedule of inspections and testing at regular intervals intended to prevent equipment failures and deterioration. Public is the resident and employee population within the fence line of the military facility. Quarry is an open pit, mine, or excavation where stone, sand, gravel, or mineral is obtained from open faces, with or without a waste rock overburden. Recycle is the process of minimizing the generation of waste by recovering usable products that might otherwise become waste. Examples are the recycling of aluminum cans, wastepaper, and bottles. Redevelopment refers to alterations of a property that changes the “footprint” of a site or building in such a way that results in the disturbance of equal to or greater than one acre of land. The term is not intended to include such activities as exterior remodeling, which would not be expected to cause adverse storm water quality impacts and offer no new opportunity for storm water controls. Regulated small MS4s are all small MS4s located in "urbanized areas" (UAs) as defined by the Bureau of the Census, and those small MS4s located outside of a UA that are designated by NPDES permitting authorities. Reportable Quantity (RQ) is the quantity of a hazardous substance or oil that triggers reporting requirements under CERCLA or the Clean Water Act. If a substance is released in amounts exceeding its RQ, the release must be reported to the National Response Center, the State Emergency Response Commission, and community emergency coordinators for areas likely to be affected. Residual is an amount of pollutant remaining in the environment after a natural or technological process has taken place, e.g., the sludge remaining after initial wastewater treatment, or particulates remaining in air after the air passes through a scrubbing or other pollutant removal process. Retention is the holding of runoff in a basin without release except by means of evaporation, infiltration, or emergency bypass. MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 I9 Retrofit is the modification of storm water management systems in developed areas through the construction of wet ponds, infiltration systems, wetland plantings, stream bank stabilization, and other BMP techniques for improving water quality. A retrofit can consist of the construction of a new BMP in the developed area, the enhancement of an older storm water management structure, or a combination of improvement and new construction. Rill Erosion is the formation of numerous, closely spread streamlets due to uneven removal of surface soils by storm water or other water. Riparian Habitat area areas adjacent to rivers and streams that have a high density, diversity, and productivity of land and animal species relative to nearby uplands. Run On is storm water surface flow or other surface flow which enters property other than that where it originated. Runoff is that part of precipitation, snow met, or irrigation water that runs off the land into streams or other surface water. It can carry pollutants from the air and land into the receiving waters. Sanitary Sewer is a system of underground pipes that carries sanitary waste or process wastewater to a treatment plant. Sanitary Waste is domestic sewage. Scour is the clearing and digging action of flowing water, especially the downward erosion caused by stream water in sweeping away mud and silt from the stream bed and outside bank of a curved channel. Sealed Gates is a device used to control the flow of liquid materials through a valve. Secondary Containment are structures, usually dikes or berms, surrounding tanks or other storage containers and designed to catch spilled material from the storage containers. Sediment Control Structure means the quarry and any constructed, existing, or natural depression approved as part of the mine plan for treating mine wastewater prior to the water entering the receiving stream. Sediment Trap is a device for removing sediment from water flows; usually installed at outfall points. Sedimentation is the process of depositing soil particles, clays, sands, or other sediments that were picked up by flowing water. MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 I10 Sediments are soil, sand, and minerals washed from land into water, usually after rain. They pile up in reservoirs, rivers, and harbors, destroying fish-nesting areas and holes of water animals and cloud the water so that needed sunlight might not reach aquatic plants. Careless farming, mining, and building activities will expose sediment materials, allowing them to be washed off the land after rainfalls. Sheet Erosion is the erosion of thin layers of surface materials by continuous sheets of running water. Sheetflow is runoff which flows over the ground surface as a thin, even layer, not concentrated in a channel. Significant materials, as defined at 122.26(b)(12) include, but are not limited to: Raw materials; fuels; materials such as solvents, detergents and plastic pellets; finished materials such as metallic products; raw materials used in food processing or production; hazardous substances designated under section 101(14) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA); any chemical the facility is required to report pursuant to section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA); fertilizers; pesticides; and waste products such as ashes, slag, and sludge that have a potential to be released with storm water discharges. Slag is non-metal containing waste leftover from the smelting and refining of metals. Slide Gates is a device used to control the flow of water through storm water conveyances. Sloughing is the movement of un-stabilized soil layers down a slope due to excess water in the soils. Sludge is a semi-solid residue from any of a number of air or water treatment processes. Sludge can be a hazardous waste. Small MS4 are any MS4 that is not a medium or large MS4 covered by Phase I of the NPDES Storm W ater Program. Soil is the unconsolidated mineral and organic material on the immediate surface of the earth that serves as a natural medium for the growth of plants. Solids Dewatering is a process for removing excess water from solids to lessen the overall weight of the wastes. Source Control is a practice or structural measure to prevent pollutants from entering storm water runoff or other environmental media. MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 I11 Spent Solvent is a liquid solution that has been used and is no longer capable of dissolving solids, gases, or liquids. Spill Guard is a device used to prevent spills of liquid materials from storage containers. Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures Plan (SPCC) is a plan consisting of structures, such as curbing, and action plans to prevent and respond to spills of oil as defined in the Clean Water Act. Stopcock Valve is a small valve for stopping or controlling the flow of water or other liquid through a pipe. Storm Drain is a slotted opening leading to an underground pipe or an open ditch for carrying surface runoff. Storm Water is runoff from a storm event, snow melt runoff, and surface runoff and drainage. Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is the plan developed, documented, and maintained by the permittee or responsible operator to minimize potential pollution and erosion from storm water discharges associated with industrial activity. Storm water discharges associated with industrial activity means the discharge from any conveyance which is used for collecting and conveying storm water and which is directly related to manufacturing, processing or raw materials storage areas at industrial plant. Subsoil is the bed or stratum of earth lying below the surface soil. Suggested components of the NPDES Phase II Final Rule form a menu that provides regulated communities a sense of EPA’s intent for each minimum control, and provides specific suggestions in each general category of BMP. Regulated communities can choose to include some, all, or none of EPA’s suggestions. Sump is a pit or tank that catches liquid runoff for drainage or disposal. Surface Impoundment is treatment, storage, or disposal of liquid wastes in ponds. Surface Water is all water naturally open to the atmosphere (rivers, lakes, reservoirs, streams, wetlands impoundments, seas, estuaries, etc.); also refers to springs, wells, or other collectors which are directly influenced by surface water. Swale is an elongated depression in the land surface that is at least seasonally wet, is usually heavily vegetated, and is normally without flowing water. Swales direct storm water flows into primary drainage channels and allow some of the storm water to infiltrate into the ground surface. MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 I12 Tarp is a sheet of waterproof canvas or other material used to cover and protect materials, equipment, or vehicles. A TMDL is a quantitative assessment of a water quality problem. It specifies the amount of a particular pollutant that may be present in a waterbody, allocates allowable pollutant loads among sources, and provides the basis for attaining or maintaining water quality standards. TMDLs are established for waterbody and pollutant combinations for waterbodies impaired by point sources, non-point sources, or a combination of both point and non-point sources. Topography is the physical feature of a surface area including relative elevations and the position of natural and human-made features. Toxic Pollutants are any pollutants listed as toxic under Section 501 (a)(1) or, in the case of "sludge use or disposal practices," any pollutant identified in regulations implementing Section 405(d) of the CWA. Please refer to 40 CFR Part 122 Appendix D. Treatment is the act of applying a procedure or chemicals to a substance to remove undesirable pollutants. Tributary is a river or stream that flows into a larger river or stream. Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) are storage tanks with at least 10 percent or more of its storage capacity underground (the complete regulatory definition is at 40 CFR Part 280.12). Waste is unwanted materials left over from a manufacturing or other process. Water Table is the depth or level below which the ground is saturated with water. Waters of the United States (a) All waters, which are currently used, were used in the past, or may be susceptible to use in interstate or foreign commerce, including all waters which are subject to the ebb and flow of the tide; (b) All interstate waters, including interstate "wetlands"; (c) All other waters such as intrastate lakes, rivers, streams (including intermittent streams), mudflats, sandflats, "wetlands," sloughs, prairie potholes, wet meadows, play lakes, or natural ponds, the use, degradation, or destruction of which would affect or could affect interstate or foreign commerce including any such waters: (1) Which are or could be used by interstate or foreign travelers for recreational or other purposes; (2) From which fish or shellfish are or could be taken and sold in interstate or foreign commerce; or (3) Which are used or could be used for industrial purposes by industries in interstate commerce; MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 I13 (d) All impoundments of waters otherwise defined as Waters of the United States under this definition; (e) Tributaries of waters identified in paragraphs (a) through (d) of this definition; (f) The territorial sea; and (g) "Wetlands" adjacent to waters (other than waters that are themselves wetlands) identified in paragraphs (a) through (f) of this definition. Waste treatment systems, including treatment ponds or lagoons designed to meet the requirements of CWA (other than cooling ponds as defined in 40 CFR 423.11 (m) which also meet the criteria of this definition) are not Waters of the United States. This exclusion applies only to manmade bodies of water which neither were originally created in Waters of the United States (such as disposal area in wetlands) nor resulted from the impoundment of Waters of the United States. Waterway is a channel for the passage or flow of water. Wet Well is a chamber used to collect water or other fluid and to which a pump is attached. Wetlands is an area that is regularly saturated by surface or ground water and subsequently is characterized by a prevalence of vegetation that is adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Examples include: swamps, bogs, fens, marshes, and estuaries.

STORM SEWER SYSTEM INFORMATION The Marine Corps Base (MCB) Camp Lejeune, Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) New River, Camp Geiger Infantry Training School, hereafter referred to collectively as “MCBCL” or “the Base”, is located in Jacksonville, Onslow County, North Carolina, and located on 153,439 acres or approximately 240 square miles. The primary function of MCBCL is national defense, providing a home Base for the II Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF), Command Element, II MEF Auxiliary Command Element, 2d Marine Division, 2d Force Service Support Group, Marine Forces Atlantic, Naval Hospital, Naval Dental Clinic, and MCAS New River. Figures 1 and 2 show the location of the MCBCL facility and major drainage features. 1.1 POPULATION SERVED The Base has a population of 70,000, which is a combination of Marines, civilians, and residents. The Family Housing Office maintains 4,640 units on MCB Camp Lejeune and neighboring MCAS New River. There are numerous bachelor officer quarters and bachelor enlisted quarters located around the Camp Lejeune/ New River complex: including Paradise Point, Camp Geiger, MCAS New River, Courthouse Bay and Camp Johnson. 1.2 GROWTH RATE The growth rate is approximately five percent. 1.3 JURISDICTIONAL AND MS4 SERVICES AREAS The jurisdictional area of the Base is approximately 240 square miles. The municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) service area is approximately 25.1 square miles. 1.4 MS4 CONVEYANCE SYSTEM Storm water on MCBCL is conveyed by overland flow and sheetflow to on-site ditches and piping networks. There are few curb and gutter conveyance features on the Base. Storm water from many of the developed areas is routed to wet detention ponds prior to discharging into the receiving streams. Public W orks provides regular inspection to ensure trash and material removal of the drainage ditches and swales. Mowing of the dry swales and around storm water detention ponds is performed every six weeks by contractors. The drainage system has been mapped and outfalls have been identified MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 2 the outfalls from regulated industrial and non-industrial basins in the urbanized areas of the Base. 1.5 LAND USE COMPOSITION ESTIMATES Land use categories include shoreline, woodlands, residential areas, industrial areas, administrative buildings, recreational facilities, memorial sites, and training areas. New construction projects primarily focus on renovation of existing buildings. Many of the industrial activities on the Base are regulated under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase I storm water regulations. The estimated percentage of jurisdictional area containing the following four land use activities are shown below. Residential 1.2% Commercial 1% Industrial 3.5% Open Space 94.3% Total = 100% 1.6 ESTIMATE METHODOLOGY The land use estimates are based on existing MCBCL Geographical Information System (GIS) data. 1.7 TMDL IDENTIFICATION Section 303(d) of the Clean W ater Act (CWA) requires states to identify and establish a priority ranking for waters for which existing pollution controls are not stringent enough to attain and maintain State water quality standards, and to establish Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for those waters. This list of waters and TMDLs must be submitted periodically to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). A TMDL is defined in existing regulations as a quantitative assessment of a water quality problem. The TMDL specifies the amount of a particular pollutant that may be present in a waterbody, allocates allowable pollutant loads among sources, and provides the basis for attaining or maintaining water quality standards. TMDLs are established for waterbody and pollutant combinations for waterbodies impaired by point sources, non-point sources, or a combination of both point and non-point sources. In MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 3 short, TMDLs are used to assure that water quality standards are attained and maintained. Per the North Carolina W ater Quality Assessment and Impaired W aters List (2002 Integrated 305(b) and 303(d) Report), Public Review Draft, June 2002) of the receiving streams identified, the following waters require development of a TMDL: • Northeast Creek (stream segments 19-16-(0.5)), • Brinson Creek, • New River (stream segments 19-(27)b and 19-(27)c), • Stones Creek, and • Courthouse Bay (stream segment 19-36b). The following streams are waters for which regulatory controls other than TMDLs are expected to result in meeting standards by the next listing: • New River (stream segments 19-(11) and 19-(15.5)), • Wilson Bay, • Northeast Creek (stream segments 19-16-(3.5) and 19-16-(4.5)), • Southwest Creek (stream segment 19-17-(6.5), and • Courthouse Bay (stream segment 19-35b). The causes of impairment vary from chlorophyll-a, mercury, and fecal coliform. See Table 1 in Section 2 for specific impairments for each segment. Sediment is also a concern statewide.

RECEIVING STREAMS A summary of the receiving streams is provided in Table 1. Table 1 also provides the use support ratings for the stream segments as available. Historically, an overall use support category was assessed. Streams are now being assessed use support rates for six categories: aquatic life and secondary recreation (AL), fish consumption (FC), shellfish harvesting (SH), primary recreation (PR), water supply (WS), and “other” uses. Assessments are made on either a monitored or evaluated basis depending on the level of information available. A single stream segment could have more than one use support rating corresponding to one or more of the six use support categories. MCBCL has done extensive storm water drainage mapping throughout the Base. The receiving streams were determined by using recently updated storm water drainage mapping on the Base. Drainage basins and their associated outfalls were mapped for the urbanized areas of the Base and determined to be industrial or non-industrial dependent on the standard industrial classification (SIC) code of the buildings located within each basin. The receiving stream for each outfall was noted. A summary of the receiving streams are listed in Table 1. MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 8 TABLE 1.

EXISTING WATER QUALITY PROGRAMS 3.1 LOCAL PROGRAMS The following are existing local programs implemented within the MCBCL MS4 service area. The City of Jacksonville and Onslow County have jurisdiction over adjacent systems which discharge to some of the same receiving waters. 3.1.1 National Environmental Policy Act The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) was established in 1969 “to declare a national policy which will encourage productive and enjoyable harmony between man and his environment; to promote efforts which will prevent or eliminate damage to the environment and biosphere and stimulate the health and welfare of man; to enrich the understanding of the ecological systems and natural resources important to the Nation; and to establish a Council on Environmental Quality” [Section 2, 42 USC §4321}. This Act requires federal agencies to consider the environmental impacts of their proposed actions and reasonable alternatives, including the “no action” alternative, to those actions before the action is taken. The Base’s NEPA Section is located under the Environmental Conservation Branch (ECB) of the Environmental Management Division (EMD). 3.1.2 Resident Officer in Charge of Construction It is the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) policy that the quality of construction projects shall be properly managed to assure that the requirements are being met. To meet this objective, the Construction Quality Management (CQM) Program has been implemented for NAVFAC construction work. This program implements the contractor’s quality control (QC) and the government’s quality assurance (QA) systems for managing the quality of construction and environmental restoration projects. The Resident Officer in Charge of Construction (ROICC) is NAVFAC’s first line of continued contact with the contractor after contract award. Under this program, the contractor is required to provide a tailored Quality Control Plan that meets the specific project quality control requirements. The QC system consists of a QC organization, a QC plan, a coordination and mutual understanding meeting, QC meetings, three phases of control, submittal review and approval, testing, completion inspections, and QC certifications and documentation necessary to provide materials, equipment, workmanship, fabrication, construction and operations which comply with the requirements of the contract. MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 14 3.1.3 New River Foundation The New River Foundation, Onslow County, North Carolina, was established by a group of concerned citizens after a spill into the New River of over 25 million gallons of hog waste on 25 June 1995. The Foundation is comprised of a wide array of citizens, including home builders, realtors, active duty military, retirees, teachers, businesspersons, and homemakers. The Foundation contracts a Riverkeeper who acts as the group leader and spokesperson for identifying the problems and improving water quality. 3.2 STATE PROGRAMS The following are existing programs implemented by the State within the MS4 service area. 3.2.1 White Oak River Water Quality Basin Plan Basin-wide water quality planning is a non-regulatory watershed-based approach to restoring and protecting the quality of North Carolina’s surface waters. W hile these plans are prepared by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) Division of W ater Quality (DWQ), their implementation and the protection of water quality entails the coordinated efforts of many agencies, local governments and stakeholders in the state. Although the water quality basin plan for the White Oak River Basin was initially completed in 1997, it will subsequently be revised at five-year intervals. The basin plan was recently updated in November 2001. The White Oak River Basin lies entirely within the southern coastal plain and includes four separate river systems (the New, White Oak, Newport and North), and also includes the Bogue, Back and Core Sounds, as well as significant portions of the Intracoastal W aterway. The goals of the water quality basin plan are to: identify water quality problems and restore full use to impaired water; identify and protect high value resource waters; protect unimpaired waters while allowing for reasonable economic growth; develop appropriate management strategies to protect and restore water quality; and improve public awareness and involvement in the management of the basin’s surface waters. MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 15 Fecal coliform bacterial contamination and high levels of mercury in fish tissue are major water quality issues basinwide. Management strategies for waters degraded by point source pollution are provided in the plan, but the plan, due to a number of restraints, lacks management strategies for most of the streams with non-point problems. Addressing water quality impairment in waters that are on the State’s 303(d) list has been a priority. 3.2.2 Coastal Area Management Act In 1974, in furtherance of the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA), the North Carolina General Assembly passed the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA). CAMA established the Coastal Resources Commission (CRC), required local land use planning in the 20 coastal counties, and provided for a permit program to regulate development. CAMA combines local-level planning with state-level regulations to protect and, where possible, enhance water quality in all coastal wetlands, rivers, streams and estuaries. Guidelines established by the CRC stress the importance of healthy water and require local governments to identify policies to ensure that coastal water quality is improved or maintained. Chief among these policies are those that prevent or control storm water discharges. Storm water runoff is a leading cause of water quality problems along the coast, and local policies can help reduce the negative impacts of storm water runoff on coastal waters. Non-federal entities must obtain a CAMA permit for their projects if the project meets all of the following conditions: It is in one of the 20 counties covered by CAMA. (Onslow County is one of the 20 counties.) It is considered "development" under CAMA. Development is defined as: "any activity in a duly designated area of environmental concern ... involving, requiring or consisting of the construction or enlargement of a structure; excavation; dredging; filling; dumping; removal of clay, silt, sand, gravel or minerals; bulkheading; driving of pilings; clearing or alteration of land as an adjunct of construction; alteration or removal of sand dunes; alteration of the shore, bank or bottom of the Atlantic Ocean or any sound, bay, river, creek, stream, lake or canal" {North Carolina General Statute (NCGS) 113A-103(5)(a)}. It is in, or it affects, an Area of Environmental Concern (AEC) established by the CRC. The four categories of AECs: The Estuarine and Ocean System; The MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 16 Ocean Hazard System; Public W ater Supplies; and Natural and Cultural Resource Areas. A project is probably in an AEC if it is: in, or on the shore of, navigable waters within the 20 CAMA counties; on a marsh or wetland; within 75 feet of the normal high water line along an estuarine shoreline; near the ocean beach; within an ocean high hazard flood area; near an inlet; within 30 feet of the normal high water level of areas designated as inland fishing waters by the N.C. Marine Fisheries Commission and the N.C. W ildlife Resources Commission; near a public water supply; or within 575 feet of Outstanding Resource W aters defined by the Environmental Management Commission. It doesn't qualify for an exemption under NCGS 113A-Section 103(5)(b). MCBCL as a federal agency does not obtain CAMA Permits. However, the Base is required to demonstrate that its actions are consistent to the maximum extent practicable (MEP) with the enforceable policies of North Carolina’s NOAA approved Coastal Management Program. Preparation of a coastal consistency determination is generally required for federal projects within an AEC provided the State has promulgated enforceable policies for which the Base can demonstrate consistency. 3.2.3 State Storm Water Management Program The State Storm Water Management Program, originally established in the late 1980’s, is under the authority of the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission (EMC) and NCGS 143-214.7. This program currently affects development activities that require either an Erosion and Sediment Control (ESC) Plan (for disturbances of one or more acres) or a CAMA major permit within the designated 20 coastal counties, and/or development draining to Outstanding Resource W aters (ORW) or High Quality W aters (HQW ). The program goal is to protect these sensitive waters by requiring development projects to maintain a low density of impervious surfaces, maintain vegetation buffers, and transport storm water runoff through vegetative conveyances. Low density development thresholds vary from 12-30% impervious surface, depending on the MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 17 classification of the receiving stream. If low density design criteria cannot be met, then high density development requires the installation of structural best management practices (BMPs) to collect and treat storm water runoff from the project. 3.2.4 Requirements for High Quality Waters Pursuant to Rule15A North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 2B.0224, HQWs are a subset of waters with quality higher than the standards and are as described by 15A NCAC 2B.0101(e)(5). The following procedures shall be implemented in order to implement the requirements of Rule .0201(d) of 15A NCAC 2B.0224: New or expanded wastewater discharges in HQW are prohibited for new single family residences. All new NPDES wastewater discharges (except single family residences) shall be required to provide the treatment for oxygen consuming wastes, total suspended solids, disinfection, emergency requirements, volume, and nutrients, as described in paragraphs (i) through (vi) of 15A NCAC 02B.0224. All expanded NPDES wastewater discharges in HQW shall be required to provide the treatment described in Sub-Item (1)(b) of this Rule, except for those existing discharges which expand with no increase in permitted pollutant loading. Development activities which require an ESC Plan in accordance with rules established by the North Carolina Sedimentation Control Commission (NCSEC) or local ESC program approved as per 15A NCAC 4B.0218, and which drain to and are within one mile of HQW shall be required to follow the storm water management rules as specified in 15A NCAC 2H.1000. Storm water management requirements specific to HQW are described in 15A NCAC 2H.1006. 3.2.5 Sediment and Erosion Control Program The main importance of erosion and sedimentation control is to protect surface W aters of the State. Any type of land disturbing activity increases the potential for erosion to occur. As storm water flows over sites altered by human activity, it picks up eroded soil particles and carries them to receiving waters such as rivers and lakes. Sedimentation in surface waters may result in fish kills, clogged streams, reduced storage volume of reservoirs, and added filtration costs for municipal water supplies. In 1973, the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act (SPCA) established a statewide program administered by the NCSEC to control soil erosion and sedimentation. The program covers land-disturbing activities, regardless of the size of the disturbance. MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 18 Those disturbances involving agriculture, forestry and mining are addressed in other legislation. The law requires the preparation of an ESC Plan and the employment of appropriate measures to meet designated performance standards. ESC plans for land- disturbing activities at MCBCL are filed with NCDENR Division of Land Resources in the Wilmington Regional Office.

BMPs and Measurable Goals MCBCL has design guidance and policies in place for post-construction runoff control for new development or redevelopment in accordance with NCDENR design criteria for water quality and quantity. The following activities should be performed for compliance with this minimum control measure: 1. CONTINUE POST-CONSTRUCTION RUNOFF CONTROL PROGRAM POLICIES. Continue use of existing design guidance and policies in place for post-construction runoff control for new development or redevelopment in accordance with NCDENR design criteria for water quality and quantity. The 303(d) list and other area- specific concerns should continue to be addressed through the post-construction runoff control program. Establish a written policy for the post-construction runoff control program outlining maintenance and inspection requirements. The Base should identify how other local NPDES Phase II communities are addressing this minimum control measure. • Measurable goal. Throughout the five-year permit, Years 1-5, continue implementation of current post-construction control program. In Year 2, develop and implement Base Order or policies for the post-construction runoff control program. • Reporting and record keeping. Maintain Base Order. MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 45 • Responsible party. The Storm Water Engineer will be responsible for developing and implementing these policies. 2. CONTINUE INSPECTION PROGRAM FOR LONG-TERM BMPS. MCBCL has an inspection program for long-term BMPs, most of which are storm water ponds. The storm water ponds and other long-term structural BMPs, are inspected per permit requirements. The inspection program includes a schedule for inspection and maintenance guidance material for each type of BMP. The schedule should be set based upon the BMPs potential impact on the environment or property should it fail. MCBCL inspector(s) should be trained on post-construction BMP maintenance issues specific to each type of structural BMP. This training could be conducted along with the construction site runoff control inspector training. • Measurable goal. Throughout the five-year permit, Years 1-5, continue the existing post-construction BMP inspection program to address NPDES Phase II requirements and develop and implement a schedule for BMP inspections. • Reporting and record keeping. Documentation of inspections and any corrective actions taken (maintenance or repair) will be maintained and kept under file. Report the continued documentation of inspections and corrective actions. Document training provided to staff. Report the number of staff trained. • Responsible party. The ECB will be responsible for the post-construction BMP inspections and coordinating required maintenance of the BMPs. 3. POST-CONSTRUCTION BMP TRAINING. Establish a written policy requiring staff training on post-construction BMP design, installation, and inspection. MCBCL should provide training materials for staff and contractors on the post- construction runoff requirements, once established. The materials should focus on familiarizing staff and contractors on the new requirements and presenting technical guidance on BMPs that can be utilized to comply with the requirements. MCBCL should encourage use of non-structural preventative BMPs, but should also provide sufficient instruction on the structural alternatives that MCBCL feels are appropriate. This control coordinates with the Public Education and Involvement controls and can be combined with seminars for erosion and sediment control training. MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River Storm Water Management Plan March 2003 46 • Measurable goal. By March 10, 2005, after establishing the post- construction runoff control program policies, provide self-training materials for staff and contractors on the design, installation and maintenance of the BMPs. • Reporting and record keeping.
