PART 1: INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) is to establish and define the means by which
the Town of Kernersville 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 Kernersville 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 NCS000483, 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 Kernersville and located
within the corporate limits of the Town of Kernersville.
In preparing this SWMP, the Town of Kernersville 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.

3.2 Existing MS4 Mapping
The current MS4 mapping includes drainage basins, town-owned property, municipal good housekeeping
areas, major outfalls, outfall and buffer inspection locations, flow direction, and pipe conditions.
Table 1: Summary of MS4 Mapping
Percent of MS4 Area Mapped 95 %
No. of Major Outfalls* Mapped 400 total
*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 Kernersville MS4 is located within the Cape Fear, Roanoke, and Yadkin Pee Dee River Basins
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:

3.4 MS4 Interconnection
The Town of Kernersville MS4 is interconnected with another regulated MS4 and directly receives and
discharges stormwater from the NCDOT MS4. The number of interconnections entering the Kernersville
MS4 from NCDOT MS4 is 30, as determined using the Town of Kernersville Stormwater GIS inventory,
which includes direction of flow for all pipes. Each NCDOT road in Town limits (about 60 miles) was
initially traced on paper maps to see where all stormwater discharges and the results were added to the
Towns GIS inventory. The Stormwater Monitoring Technician will update the NCDOT/TOK Pipe
Interconnection layer during routine infrastructure layer updates and when plans for new development are
approved and digitized into the system. The Town does not inspect NCDOT outfalls.
The Town of Kernersville borders the City of High Point and the City of Winston-Salem, but does not share
any structures or discharge past the Town limits and ETJ.

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.

No TMDLs have been approved within the MS4 area. The Statewide TMDL for mercury does not require
any actions by the NPDES stormwater permittee 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 may be 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

3.8 Non-Stormwater Discharges
The water quality impacts of non-stormwater discharges have been evaluated by the Town of Kernersville
as summarized in Table 6 below. The unpermitted non-stormwater flows listed as incidental do not
significantly impact water quality. The Town of Kernersville 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, these types of non-stormwater discharges that do contain
detergents have been evaluated by the Town of Kernersville 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.
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
Kernersville.

PART 10: POLLUTION PREVENTION AND GOOD HOUSEKEEPING PROGRAMS
This SWMP provides a comprehensive pollution prevention and good housekeeping strategy for the Town
of Kernersville 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 (O&M) 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 Kernersville will manage, implement and report the pollution prevention and good
housekeeping BMPs as specified in Table 21 below for each required program.
