This SWMP identifies the specific elements and minimum measures that the Town of Wendell will develop, implement, enforce, evaluate and report to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Division of Energy, Minerals and Land Resources (DEML R) in order to comply with the MS4 Permit number NCS000564, 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 Wendell and located within the corporate limits of the Town of Wendell. In preparing this SWMP, the Town of Wendell has evaluated its MS4 and the permit requirements to develop a comprehensive SWMP that will meet the community’s needs, address local water quality issues and provide the minimum measures necessary to comply with the permit for the remainder of the permit term. 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.

DRAFT NCS000564 SWMP Town of Wendell January 8, 2021 Page 3 PART 3: MS4 INFORMATION 3.1 Permitted MS4 Area This SWMP applies throughout the corporate limits and extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) of the Town of Wendell, including all regulated activities associated with the discharge of stormwater from the MS4. The map below shows the corporate limits and ETJ of Town of Wendell as of the date of this document. 3.2 Existing MS4 Mapping The current MS4 mapping includes culverts and culvert end points with size and material, gravity pipes with size and material, streams, open drains, virtual drain lines, stormwater control measures (SCMs), and weirs; risers, inlets, manholes, and discharge points with invert measurements and conditions assessment. Stream walks on accessible streams will be performed to determine identify any unknown outfalls. DRAFT NCS000564 SWMP Town of Wendell January 8, 2021 Page 4 Table 1: Summary of MS4 Mapping Percent of MS4 Area Mapped 95 % No. of Major Outfalls* Mapped 41 total Percent of ETJ Area Mapped 0 % *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. 3.3 Receiving Waters The Town of Wendell MS4 is located within the Neuse River Basin and discharges directly into receiving waters as listed in Table 2 below. 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 Table 2: Summary of MS4 Receiving Waters Receiving Water Name Stream Index / AU Number Water Quality Classification 303(d) Listed Parameter(s) of Interest Buffalo Creek 27-57-16(2) 27-57-16(3) C-NSW Benthos (Nar, AL, FW) 6/3/2019 Fall Branch 27-57-9 C; NSW Lake Johnson 27-57-10 C; NSW Little River 27-57-(8.5) WS-V; NSW Marks Creek 27-38 C-NSW C – Class C (fishable/swimmable waters) WS III/IV/V – Water Source Benthos (Nar, AL, FW) – Narrative standard, aquatic life, fresh waters Data from 2018 NC Category 5 Assessments “303(d) List” Final and NC Surface Water Classifications Map. From the 2018 303(d) Listing and Delisting Methodology for Benthos: “Narrative criterion: Waters shall be suitable for aquatic life propagation and maintenance of biological integrity. NC uses benthic and fish community data to assess biological integrity. Biological integrity means the ability of an aquatic ecosystem to support and maintain a balanced and indigenous community of organisms having species composition, diversity, population densities and functional organization similar to that of reference conditions” DRAFT NCS000564 SWMP Town of Wendell January 8, 2021 Page 5 The Town of Wendell utilizes Public Education and Outreach BMPs to provide information the effects of impaired waters on aquatic life. 3.4 MS4 Interconnection The Town of Wendell MS4 is interconnected with another regulated MS4 and directly receives stormwater from the NCDOT. The number of interconnections entering and leaving the Town of Wendell MS4 from NCDOT is xx, as determined by GIS analysis of outfalls on DOT roads. 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. Table 3: Summary of Approved TMDLs Water Body Name TMDL Pollutant(s) of Concern Stormwater Waste Load Allocation (Y/N) Water Quality Recovery Program (Y/N) Neuse River Nitrogen N N Neuse River Aquatic Weeds N N Statewide Mercury N N While the Neuse River has a TMDL for nitrogen and aquatic weeds, the Town of Wendell discharges to tributaries of the Neuse that do not have TMDLs. The Town utilizes Public Education and Outreach BMPs to provide information on TMDLs in the Neuse River Basin. While the Statewide TMDL for mercury does not require any actions by the NPDES stormwater permittee because most mercury in stormwater comes from atmospheric deposition, the Town utilizes BMPs to provide information to the public. 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.

Facilities were identified by location address, but all industrial sites were not mapped to determine which sites are in the ETJ. The Town prioritizes industrial sites for inspections as part of their Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination program. 3.8 Non-Stormwater Discharges The water quality impacts of non-stormwater discharges have been evaluated by the Town of Wendell as summarized in Table 6 below. The unpermitted non-stormwater flows listed as incidental do not significantly impact water quality. The Town of Wendell has evaluated residential and charity car washing and street washing for possible significant water quality impacts. DRAFT NCS000564 SWMP Town of Wendell January 8, 2021 Page 7 Street washing discharges are addressed under the Pavement Management Program in Part 10 of this SWMP. The Town of Wendell recognizes street washing with a sustained flow of water will have a negative impact to the MS4, and therefore utilizes dry street sweeping methods. The Town of Wendell utilizes street sweepers with metal brushes which do utilize spayed water to assist in the dirt pick up as well as reduces the possibility of fugitive dust. Street sweeping waste is disposed of in a commercial waste dumpster at the Public Works Yard per the Municipal Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping Plan. 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 contain detergents have been evaluated by the Town of Wendell to determine whether they may significantly impact water quality. The Town utilizes Public Education and Outreach and Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping BMPs to educate residents and municipal staff on the possible effects of detergents entering the surface waters. The Division has not required that other non-stormwater flows be specifically controlled by the Town of Wendell. Table 6: Non-Stormwater Discharges Non-Stormwater Discharge Water Quality Impacts Water line and fire hydrant flushing Incidental Landscape irrigation Incidental Diverted stream flows Incidental Rising groundwater Incidental Uncontaminated groundwater infiltration Incidental Uncontaminated pumped groundwater Incidental Uncontaminated potable water sources Incidental Foundation drains Incidental Air conditioning condensate Incidental Irrigation waters Incidental Springs Incidental Water from crawl space pumps Incidental Footing drains Incidental Lawn watering Incidental Residential and charity car washing Possible Flows from riparian habitats and wetlands Incidental Dechlorinated swimming pool discharges Incidental Street wash water Incidental Flows from firefighting activities Incidental 3.9 Target Pollutants and Sources In addition to those target pollutants identified below, the Town of Wendell 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 DRAFT NCS000564 SWMP Town of Wendell January 8, 2021 Page 8 program(s) that address each. In addition, the Town of Wendell has evaluated schools, homeowners and businesses as target audiences that are likely to have significant stormwater impacts. Schools are targeted for Public Education and Outreach and homeowners and businesses are targeted as they are likely sources of non-point source pollution.
