PART 1: INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) is to establish and define the means by which
the Town of Waynesville 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 Waynesville 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 NCS000501, 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 Waynesville and located
within the corporate limits of the Town of Waynesville.
In preparing this SWMP, the Town of Waynesville 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 Waynesville, including all regulated
activities associated with the discharge of stormwater from the MS4 (Figure 1).
3.2 Existing MS4 Mapping
The MS4 mapping includes information from McGill Associates' Stormwater Master Plan created
for the Town in 2008. The data were collected by the Town in a 2003 inventory of their stormwater
conveyance system, which were then digitized into a GIS database for analysis by McGill
Associates. The results of the survey indicated the town’s stormwater conveyance system consists
of 1,202 pipes and 1,035 catch basins (Figure 1, Table 1). They also indicated there were 56
outfalls where the pipes discharged into a receiving body of water. McGill also completed a field
survey for illicit discharges and found 378 major outfalls, with 24 considered illicit (Figure 2,
Table 1). Refer to the Stormwater Master Plan's Sections 3.0 to 3.4 for information on the MS4
mapping process.

3.8 Non-Stormwater Discharges
The water quality impacts of unpermitted and non-stormwater discharges have been evaluated by the Town
of Waynesville and are summarized in Table 4. Most of the non-stormwater flows are considered incidental
and are not expected to significantly impact water quality.
The Town of Waynesville has evaluated residential and charity car washing and street washing for possible
significant water quality impacts. Wash water associated with car washing that does not contain detergents
or does not discharge directly into the MS4 is considered incidental. However, there is possibility that
discharges containing detergents may significantly impact water quality.
Street washing discharges are addressed under the Pavement Management Program in Part 10 of this
SWMP. The Division has not required that other non-stormwater flows be specifically controlled by the
Town of Waynesville.

3.9 Target Pollutants and Sources
There are several water quality pollutants of concern that may originate from the town’s stormwater
conveyance system, NPDES permit holders, or non-stormwater discharges. Table 5 includes a summary
these pollutants as well as the likely activities/sources attributed to each pollutant, and identifies the
associated SWMP program(s) that address each.
1. Sediment: This is the most significant water quality issue in the Richland Creek basin. Contractors
engaged in earth moving activities, primarily in residential home and road construction, are major sources.
Other sources include eroding streambanks and unmaintained roads and ditches within the town limits.
Erosion and sediment control plans required by the state for over one acre do not effectively reach small
house sites. Town staff has contact with builders via permitting and inspection activities and receive
additional training and educational materials to pass along to property owners and builders. Workshops on
erosion and sediment control training are infrequently held for builders.
2. Household pollutants: Residential is the predominate land use and the town can educate residents about
how to prevent household cleaners and products, oil, antifreeze, yard waste, fertilizers, pesticides, trash and
other waste from getting into storm drains and waterways. Proper storage and use of pesticides and
fertilizers educational materials are readily available and can be distributed. The town’s solid waste
education materials deal with many issues for proper disposal of pet wastes, paints, oil, etc. Signage in
parks inform residents on proper disposal of pet wastes.
3. Parking lot pollutants: Commercial parking lot pollutants include thermal stress, chemicals from leaking
cars, and trash. Best management practices for parking lot runoff controls can be identified and explained
in workshops and other educational materials.
4. Bacteria: Richland Creek is currently on the state list of impaired waterways due to fecal coliform
bacteria. Primary sources include leaking septic systems and cracked or broken sewer lines that leach raw
sewage to the surface. Other sources include wildlife and pets. Workshops and educational materials about
the proper care and maintenance of septic systems are regularly provided to the community.

4.2 Program Funding and Budget
In accordance with the issued permit, the Town of Waynesville will 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 Town is depending on the General Fund to fund its storm water activities. It currently cleans the streets
and storm water catch basins weekly with a combination of a street sweeper, jet truck and hand labor. The
Town’s storm sewers open into active trout waters and we make every attempt to keep the streams as free
of silt, leaves and debris as possible. Waynesville contracts with Haywood Waterways to perform storm
water related educational outreach including cleanup days, exploration of aquatic life, and water quality
testing. Over the past three years the Town has expended $81,512, $86,859.04 and $89,295.97 respectively
on its storm water program.
With new development and growth of the last three years, the Town Manager developed a recommendation
to implement a stormwater fee in FY 19-20 to assist with increasing costs.
As a new program initiative, the staff has carried out a study to determine the average area of a residential
lot and its accompanying impervious surface (ERU). The staff measured the area of impervious surfaces in
all the commercial, educational and industrial parcels within the Town limits and determined their
equivalent ERUs. We recommended to the Board a $2.00 per month storm water fee for residential parcels.
It applied the $2.00 per month rate to the impervious surfaces in the commercial and industrial parcels to
determine their fee. The staff recommended an enhanced street cleaning and educational program as well
as funding to help catch floating debris in Richland Creek as it enters Lake Junaluska. The Board asked that
the discussion be taken up by the Board that is seated in December of 2019. The fee is estimated to raise
between $213,000 and $300,000 annually depending on the action of the Board.
4.3 Shared Responsibility
The Town of Waynesville 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 Waynesville 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 Waynesville nor the other entity fully
performs the permit obligation. Table 7 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 5: Public Education and Outreach Program
The Town of Waynesville will implement a Public Education and Outreach Program to distribute
educational materials to the community or conduct equivalent outreach activities about the impacts of storm
water discharges on water bodies. These will include steps the public can take to reduce pollutants in storm
water runoff.
The target audiences and identified pollutants listed in Part 3.9 of this SWMP, which will be addressed by
the Public Education and Outreach Program, are summarized in Table 9. In addition, the Town of
Waynesville is required to inform businesses and the general public of the hazards associated with illicit
discharges, illegal dumping and improper disposal of waste.
The public education and outreach BMPs will be implemented through a contract with Haywood
Waterways Association. See Appendix A for a copy of the contract. Haywood Waterways has been assisting
the town with this measure since 2007. The town and Haywood Waterways will use a variety of resources
to make sure the BMPs goals and objectives are met. Consultation with
DEQ for this minimum measure will occur, as needed.

PART 8: CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL PROGRAM
In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0153, the Town of Waynesville relies upon the North Carolina
Sedimentation Pollution Control Act (SPCA) of 1973 and the NCG010000 permit for construction activities
as qualifying alternative programs to meet the NPDES MS4 Permit requirements for all construction site
runoff control measures to reduce pollutants in stormwater runoff from construction activities that result in
land disturbance of greater than or equal to one acre and any construction activity that is part of a larger
common plan of development that would disturb one acre or more.
The Town of Waynesville will implement the BMPs outlined below to meet NPDES MS4 Permit
requirements for the construction site runoff minimum measure (Table 13). It will be implemented with
assistance from private engineering firms, as needed, to review construction plans. The current firm is Bell
Engineering (see Appendix B). In addition, consultation with the recommended state contact will occur, as
needed.
The Town is currently and will continue to meet this requirement be ensuring permitting through the State
Erosion and Sediment Control Program and the DWQ general stormwater permit for construction activities
for land disturbance over one acre. For any land disturbance under one acre but over 1,000 square feet, a
property owner must have a local permit in accordance with Town Ordinance Section 12.4 of the Land
Development Standards (formerly Section 154.401). The Town regulates development on steep slopes
(Section 12.6), and flood damage prevention (Section 12.3). Consultation with DEQ for this minimum
measure will occur, as needed.

PART 9: POST-CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL PROGRAM
The Town of Waynesville does not implement any State Qualifying Alternative Programs. The town’s
ordinances allow for alternative compliance measures to be considered for implementation of the NPDES
Phase II MS4 post-construction program requirements. The requirements are codified in local ordinance(s),
and implementation is further defined in guidance, manuals and/or standard operating procedure(s) as
summarized in Table 15 below.
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 Waynesville and discharge into the MS4. These elements are designed
to minimize water quality impacts using 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. The annual reporting metrics for the post construction program are provided in
Table 16. Consultation with DEQ for this minimum measure will occur, as needed.

Re: Phase II Stormwater Management Plan Implementation, Education and Outreach
Haywood Waterways Association is pleased to submit this proposal to assist the Town of Waynesville
implement your Phase II Stormwater Management Plan. Haywood Waterways has been contracted to help
implement the Public Education and Outreach and Public Participation and Involvement Minimum
Control Measures since Fiscal Year 2007. This proposal outlines tasks that would be completed, if
accepted, in Fiscal Year 2019.
The tasks listed below would help you distribute education materials to the community and engage
citizens in water quality protection work. The tasks and costs are estimates and because Haywood
Waterways would be working on a fee basis, we would only charge for the actual hours worked with
costs set as “not to exceed”. We would also take advantage of all opportunities to reduce costs, such as
using existing material and programs of Haywood Waterways and other organizations. Our current billing
rate is $35.00 per hour, plus travel at the federal standard mileage rate and printing costs, if necessary.
Haywood Waterways currently implements many education, outreach and public participation activities
in the community. Haywood Waterways supports Waynesville’s use of those activities to satisfy the
town’s Phase II permit. If Haywood Waterways needs to supplement those activities with stormwater
related materials to satisfy Waynesville’s permit, Waynesville would only be billed for costs above and
beyond those normally required. For example, we would not charge Waynesville for the normal operation
of our display at a community event. We would only bill for such tasks as time spent gathering
stormwater brochures or obtaining a stormwater poster for display.
1. Minimum Measure #1: Public Education and Outreach
Haywood Waterways will implement the following best management practices for this minimum
measure:
• Write quarterly press releases and distribute to the press and town officials;
• Distribute education materials through the newspapers, the schools and placement at strategic locations
throughout Waynesville, such as in community buildings, realty offices and other businesses;
• Produce stormwater related topic to be mailed as a post card to at least 3,000 residents;
• Setup special displays at community festivals and local library; and
• In addition, Waynesville can support HWA’s premier education event, Kids in the Creek, by purchasing
waders and other supplies to replace old and deteriorated waders.

2. Minimum Measure #2: Public
Involvement and Participation
Haywood Waterways will implement the
following best management practices for this minimum measure:
• Support stream clean-up events, such as Big Sweep, and expand the Adopt-A-Stream Program started in
FY 2008-2009;
• Work with schools, youth groups and other local organizations to post storm drain markers to inform
citizens that dumping into storm sewers can pollute local waterways;
• Through public press releases, promotional giveaways, sign posting and coordinating with local groups,
develop or expand community recycling/collection programs for used oil, household hazardous wastes
and other potential pollutants;
• Provide ‘Build a Rain Barrel’ workshop for public participation;
• Advertise opportunities for public participation and involvement in newspapers, posters around town, in
neighborhood newsletters, at civic organization meetings, through mass mailings, promotional giveaway,
or any other method; and
• Disseminate the results of the Volunteer Water Information Network Program, a program monitoring the
water quality at 13 sites on seven streams in the Waynesville area.
The total costs “not to exceed” for implementing both measures are found in Table 1. Itemized costs are
found in Tables 2 and 3
