PART 1: INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) is to establish and define the means by which
the Town of Canton will comply with its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit and the applicable provisions of the Clean Water
Act to meet the federal standard of reducing pollutants in stormwater runoff to the maximum extent
practicable.
This SWMP identifies the specific elements and minimum measures that the Town of Canton will
develop, implement, enforce, evaluate and report to the North Carolina Department of Environmental
Quality (NCDEQ) Division of Energy, Minerals and Land Resources (DEMLR) in order to comply with
the MS4 Permit number NCS000476, as issued by NCDEQ. This permit covers activities associated with
the discharge of stormwater from the MS4 as owned and operated by the Town of Canton and located
within the corporate limits of the Town of Canton.
In preparing this SWMP, the Town of Canton has evaluated its MS4 and the permit requirements to
develop a comprehensive 5-year SWMP that will meet the community's needs, address local water
quality issues and provide the minimum measures necessary to comply with the permit. The SWMP will
be evaluated and updated annually to ensure that the elements and minimum measures it contains
continue to adequately provide for permit compliance and the community's needs.
Once the SWMP is approved by NCDEQ, all provisions contained and referenced in this SWMP, along
with any approved modifications of the SWMP, are incorporated by reference into the permit and become
enforceable parts of the permit.

PART 3: MS4 INFORMATION
3.1 Permitted MS4 Area
This SWMP applies throughout the corporate limits of the Town of Canton, including all regulated
activities associated with the discharge of stormwater from the MS4. The map below shows the corporate
limits of Town of Canton as of the date of this document.
3.2 Existing MS4 Mapping
The current MS4 mapping includes current mapping and inventory developed by town staff and
consultants who have physically located most of the Town's system components. This mapping includes
the location of all publicly owned stormwater piping. The map of the existing system will continue to be
verified and finalized. The mapping will be updated as new facilities are installed using required
submittals to the Planning Board and through regular inspections and maintenance.

*An outfall is a point where the MS4 discharges from a pipe or other conveyance (e.g. a ditch) directly
into surface waters. Major outfalls are required to be mapped to meet permit requirements. A major
outfall is a 36-inch diameter pipe or discharge from a drainage area > 50-acres; and for industrial zoned
areas a 12-inch diameter pipe or a drainage area > 2-acres.
**Outfalls have been mapped but the classification of specific outfalls as major outfalls has not occurred,
therefore, the number of major outfalls is unknown at this time (See BMP No. 14).
3.3 Receiving Waters
The Town of Canton MS4 is located within the French Broad River Basin and discharges directly into
receiving waters as listed in Table 2 below. The abbreviation "UT" in the following table stands for
Unnamed Tributary. Applicable water quality standards listed below are compiled from the following
NCDEQ sources:
o Waterbody Classification Map
o Impaired Waters and TMDL Map
o Most recent NCDEQ Final 303 d List

3.4 MS4 Interconnection
The Town of Canton MS4 is not interconnected with another regulated MS4 and directly discharges to the
receiving waters as listed in Table 2 above.
3.5 Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs)
The TMDL(s) listed in Table 3 below have been approved within the MS4 area, as determined by the map
and list provided on the NCDEQ Modeling & Assessment Unit web page. The table also indicates
whether the approved TMDL has a specific stormwater Waste Load Allocation (WLA) for any watershed
directly receiving discharges from the permitted MS4, and whether a Water Quality Recovery Program
has been implemented to address the WLA.

The Statewide TMDL for Mercury does not require any actions by the NPDES stormwater permittees
because most mercury in stormwater comes from atmospheric deposition.
3.6 Endangered and Threatened Species and Critical Habitat
Significant populations of threatened or endangered species and/or critical habitat are identified within the
regulated MS4 urbanized area, as determined by a review of the Endangered and Threatened Species and
Species of Concern by County for North Carolina Map and Listed species believe to or known to occur in
North Carolina map as provided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Of those species listed, Table 4
summarizes the species that may be significantly impacted by the quality of surface waters within their
habitat.

3.7 Industrial Facility Discharges
The Town of Canton MS4 jurisdictional area includes the following industrial facilities which hold
NPDES Industrial Stormwater Permits, as determined from the NCDEQ Active NPDES Stormwater
Permit List and/or Active Stormwater Permits Map.

3.8 Non-Stormwater Discharges
The water quality impacts of non-stormwater discharges have been evaluated by the Town of Canton as
summarized in Table 6 below. The unpermitted non-stormwater flows listed as incidental do not
significantly impact water quality. The Town of Canton has evaluated residential and charity car washing
and street washing for possible significant water quality impacts.
Street washing discharges are addressed under the Pavement Management Program in Part 10 of this
SWMP. Street cleaning is performed with a dry street sweeping process so street washing discharges are
not relevant to the MS4. The Division has not required that other non-stormwater flows be specifically
controlled by the Town of Canton.
Wash water associated with car washing that does not contain detergents or does not discharge directly
into the MS4 is considered incidental. However, these types of non-stormwater discharges that do
NCS000476 SWMP
Town of Canton

contain detergents have been evaluated by the Town of Canton to determine whether they may
significantly impact water quality. They were determined to be a possible cause of water quality impacts
and will be addressed through public education efforts (See BMPs No. 5 and 7).

3.9 Target Pollutants and Sources
In addition to those target pollutants identified above, the Town of Canton is not aware of other
significant water quality issues within the permitted MS4 area.
Table 7 below summarizes the water quality pollutants identified throughout Part 3 of this SWMP, the
likely activities/sources/targeted audiences attributed to each pollutant, and identifies the associated
SWMP program(s) that address each. In addition, the Town of Canton has evaluated schools,
homeowners and businesses as target audiences that are likely to have significant stormwater impacts.
Schools represent an important target audience as teaching students can provide opportunities for
education and community involvement in the process. By beginning this education process early,
positive change can occur. Homeowners and business are obvious target audiences because they
represent likely sources for non -point pollution. This typically occurs because of a lack of education and
recommended management practices.

Requirements
4.2 Program Funding and Budget
In accordance with the issued permit, the Town of Canton shall maintain adequate funding and staffing to
implement and manage the provisions of the SWMP and comply with the requirements of the NPDES
MS4 Permit.
The budget includes the permit administering and compliance fee, which is billed by the Division
annually. The stormwater program currently receives funding of approximately $160,000 per year; this is
funded primarily through general funds. This includes a separation of duties between both the Street &
Sanitation Department as well as, Water & Sewer however, the Water and Sewer Superintendent position
is funded through the Water and Sewer Enterprise fund. This $160,000 includes time spend and hours
spent specifically to Stormwater needs and Street Sweeping based on BMP. The program is currently
under -funded to conduct all the proactive elements of the permit as it relates to stormwater specific duties
and needs. Further fiscal analysis and investigation of funding options (such as additional general fund
allocation or a stormwater fee) will be conducted to fully fund the program by Permit year three.
4.3 Shared Responsibility
The Town of Canton will share the responsibility to implement the following minimum control measures,
which are at least as stringent as the corresponding NPDES MS4 Permit requirement. The Town of
Canton remains responsible for compliance if the other entity fails to perform the permit obligation, and
may be subject to enforcement action if neither the Town of Canton nor the other entity fully performs the
permit obligation. Table 9 below summarizes who will be implementing the component, what the
component program is called, the specific SWMP BMP or permit requirement that is being met by the
shared responsibility, and whether or not a legal agreement to share responsibility is in place.

PART 9: POST -CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL PROGRAM
This SWMP identifies the minimum elements to develop, implement and enforce a program to address
stormwater 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 are located within the Town of Canton and discharge into the MS4. These elements are
designed to minimize water quality impacts utilizing a combination of structural Stormwater Control
Measures (SCMs) and/or non-structural BMPs appropriate for the community, and ensure adequate long-
term operation and maintenance of SCMs.
In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0153 and .1017, the Town of Canton implements the following
State post -construction program requirements, which satisfy the NPDES Phase II MS4 post -construction
site runoff control requirements as Qualifying Alternative Programs (QAPs) in the MS4 area(s) where
they are implemented.

PART 10: POLLUTION PREVENTION AND GOOD HOUSEKEEPING PROGRAMS
This SWMP provides a comprehensive pollution prevention and good housekeeping strategy for the
Town of Canton municipal facilities and operations. Pollution prevention and good housekeeping is
accomplished through the implementation of seven required programs, which collectively address the
ultimate goal of preventing or reducing pollutant runoff from municipal operations such as parks and
open space maintenance, fleet and building maintenance, new construction and land disturbances, and
municipal storm sewer system maintenance.
Pollution prevention and good housekeeping for municipal operations includes the following programs:
1. Municipal Facilities Operation and Maintenance Program
2. Spill Response Program
3. MS4 Operation and Maintenance Program
4. Municipal SCM Operation and Maintenance Program
5. Pesticide, Herbicide and Fertilizer Management Program
6. Vehicle and Equipment Maintenance Program
7. Pavement Management Program
The Town of Canton will manage, implement and report the pollution prevention and good housekeeping
BMPs as specified in Table 21 below for each required program.
