PART 1: INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) is to establish and define the means by which
the Town of Rutherford College will comply with its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Pen -nit and the applicable provisions of the
Clean Water Act to meet the federal standard of reducing pollutants in stonnwater runoff to the maximum
extent practicable.
This SWMP identifies the specific elements and minimum measures that the Town of Rutherford College
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 NCS000480, 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 Rutherford College and
located within the corporate limits of the Town of Rutherford College.
In preparing this SWMP, the Town of Rutherford College has evaluated its MS4 and the pennit
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 pennit.

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. Outreach education and stream cleanup helps with the
reduction of waste load allocation within approved TMDL municipalities.

3.8 Non-Stormwater Discharges
The water quality impacts of non-Stormwater discharges have been evaluated by the Town of Rutherford
College as summarized in Table 6 below. The unpermitted non-stormwater flows listed as incidental do
not significantly impact water quality. The Town of Rutherford College 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. The Department of Environmental Quality has not required that other non-Stormwater flows be
specifically controlled by the Town of Rutherford College.
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/surfactants have been evaluated by the Town of Rutherford College to determine
whether they may significantly impact water quality. The Town of Rutherford College will address the
possibility of the below mentioned water quality impacts through public education and good
housekeeping, as outlined in Part 5, BMP 3-7, and Part 10 BMP 45-47, 49, 53, 54, 56, 57 and 61 with a
focus on the training of good housekeeping practices.

3.9 Target Pollutants and Sources
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 it. In addition, the Town of Rutherford College has evaluated schools,
homeowners, construction sites and businesses as target audiences that are likely to have significant
stormwater impacts.
Within the table below the following target pollutants have been commonly found to be concerns within
the community.
Litter: Illegal dumping has occurred within the Town.
Cases general residential dumping have been noted by Town employees. This litter poses a threat to both
our water bodies and the MS4 infrastructure, as the litter can create clogs and backups that damage the
pipelines leading back to the stream. Some litter even poses a threat to groundwater if chemical leaching
or breakdown of components into heavy metals occurs due to weathering of the litter. The dumping has
been found typically road side but also in secluded urban areas.
Sediment: Previous installed erosion control measure have been removed or fallen
Sediment buildup is largely attributed to mismanaged construction sites with fallen or incorrectly installed
sediment fences. It has been noticed in both reports from citizens and by code enforcement officers that
there are several cases of construction sites not maintaining their erosion control fences during work. This
has led to sediment buildup near storm drains, onto down slope private properties, and in some cases
causing water to build up in nearby properties as the sediment is limiting the drains ability to remove
runoff. In all cases code enforcement has responded and had the issue solved, but even being down for a
short time can prove to have significant effects. Erosion control fences are required for sediment control
permits during construction by the DEQ throughout the entire construction process.
Gray Water: Straight piping washing machines out of the house
Rarely, it has been noted a few homes have had their washing machines straight -piped out of their homes
by creating makeshift piping using water hoses exit at windows. Homes are to be connected to the
appropriate sewer system. This proves to be a source of detergents/soaps entering our storm drains in
residential neighborhoods. In addition: residential, charity, and municipal car washes allow for soaps or
waxes to enter the storm drain when vehicles are not being cleaned in the correct areas (such as vegetated
patches or in areas that do not have storm drains). This allows for toxic contaminants to enter our
waterways via the storm drain system.
Fats Oils and Grease: Restaurants could possibly empty grease traps or not obtain a grease trap.
The Health Department has reported restaurants not maintaining, or even owning, grease traps. This has
led to cases of the restaurants either illegally dumping the grease or allowing the grease to drip onto
NCS000480 SWMP
Town of Rutherford College
March 30, 2021
Page 13

nearby impermeable surface — which would eventually lead to water quality issues. Overflow from a lack
of maintenance or throwing out the grease with general waste contributes to this problem. This is a health
violation since the grease poses a physical risk, but it also can impair water bodies with an influx of water
insoluble grease going down the storm drain.
Chemicals: Totes have been noted in industrial areas, which could pose a risk.
Town staff have noticed containers within manufacturing facilities that have unmarked chemicals. The
totes are unlabeled in select industrial sites, leading to potential soil and water contamination, and/or
incorrect spill cleanup procedure. In addition to not labeling the containers correctly, the Town has noted
that the containers are not being correctly stored in a way to minimize risk to the water bodies from
seepage, damage to the containers, or spills.
Animal Operations/Urban Farming: A challenge to ensuring water quality for several factors.
Animal operations are agriculture operations that raise cows, pigs, chickens, or other livestock as a
product, be it from meat or byproducts of the animal, the latter being more problematic as the excess
nutrients will lead to eutrophication which can eventually causing hypoxia in the water body. In a similar
vein, agricultural runoff often caries excess fertilizer which also will cause eutrophication in streams with
its cascading effects.
Underground storage tanks: Storage devices installed below ground that contain hazardous
materials/waste.
These tanks can contain gasoline, fuels such as propane, industrial chemicals/oils, and most often human
waste in areas not directly connected to the sanitary sewer. Any underground storage tank must be well
maintained/monitored, and correctly installed due to the risk of them leaking. The leaks can cause
whatever chemical the tank is storing to leak into the ground, harming the soil, groundwater/water table,
and even surface waters as they are being fed from groundwater. If a fuel or industrial chemical tank is
leaking, the chemical will leach into the soil — leading to toxic soil, contaminated groundwater, and
possibly impairing a stream/water body. If a septic tank is leaking, it can overwhelm the natural processes
of the soil (infiltration) leading to nutrient overload in streams fed by groundwater, or allowing pathogens
to enter, increasing the risk of disease.
Illicit discharges: Originate from a variety of sources, with an equally varied number of effects
dependent on the chemical that is released.
Typically, illicit discharges come from businesses, residents or municipal facilities who dump chemicals
into storm drains either incidentally due to a lack of Illicit Discharge & Detection Elimination (IDDE)
education or general carelessness. These chemicals can vary greatly, and can include grease, oils,
chemicals, cleaning solutions, paints, metals, etc. This is a recognized problem as we have several 303(d)
streams impaired from causes related to substances or attributions given to unclean discharges into the
streams - in addition to reports generated by the municipality.
Illegal dumping: When residents, businesses, or municipal employees dump waste randomly in
non -permitted dumping areas.
NCS000480 SWMP
Town of Rutherford College
March 30, 2021

This waste can widely vary, causing a variety of problems. For example, citizens dumping televisions on
the side of the road to avoid dumping fees, which allows for the metals or chemicals inside the tv to leach
out as stormwater passes it (mercury, lead, and other metals). It can be a case of businesses dumping
waste in watershed areas where runoff passes through the waste, either carrying it, or residuals of the
waste into water bodies. It can also be a case of graders dumping sediment into areas without the correct
allowances/precautions. The debris and chemicals accumulate over time and lead to chemical
impairments, pH issues, turbidity impairments, or debris entering the stream/MS4 system.
Improper disposal of waste:
Improper disposal of waste is problematic because it allows chemicals, or difficult to manage waste, to
enter the environment in ways that may be hard to track. For example; not giving a car battery to the
correct waste management facility can allow for battery acid and lead to enter the soil which
drains/collects in the groundwater. This problem has been noticed by municipal waste managers and is
difficult to track as often the improper disposal waste is mixed in with the standard refuse. Other
examples include grease going down sinks clogging MS4 systems, chemicals from batteries leaching into
the groundwater, oil from oil changes not going to the correct facility, etc.

4.2 Program Funding and Budget
In accordance with the issued permit, the Town of Rutherford College 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 DEQ annually.
As mentioned previous, WPCOG was contracted to write the Town of Rutherford College's Stormwater
Management Plan, for a rate of $8,000.00. Also, the Town has a one-year contract (which will need to be
modified, adopted, and signed every year) with Western Piedmont Council of Governments for the
following services: Public Education & Outreach Program and Public Involvement & Participation
Program. The current one year contract (July 1, 2019 and ending June 30, 2020) amount is $2,845.00.
The Town of Rutherford College will be using Town staff, and on occasion West Consultants, to
implement Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Program, Post -Construction Site Runoff Control
Program, and Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping Programs. The Town has allocated
$11,500.00 toward this effort.
The Town will be responsible for the cost of the annual NPDES permit renewal, which is to be paid to the
state. Any fees charged to the development community for BMP Inspections, Plan Review, and other
associated fees will help offset this cost to the town. The Town reserves the right to apply stormwater
utility fees to supplement stormwater management costs; these fees would be collected by the Town
through tax or utility bills. The goal would be for the funds collected to support the stormwater program
through stream repairs and other water quality efforts.
Should the Town of Rutherford College choose not to renew the existing one-year contract with WPCOG,
prior to the last month, a revision to the existing NPDES permit and Stormwater Management Plan would
need to occur. The Town of Rutherford College would be required to renew the one-year contract for five
years straight to fully carry out the 5 year NPDES permit cycle. Any changes to the partners or measures
in this document will need to be reviewed and approved by NCDEQ.
4.3 Shared Responsibility
Beginning July 2019, the Town of Rutherford College will be responsible to implement the following
minimum control measures, with the aid of WPCOG (entity), which are as stringent as the corresponding
NPDES MS4 Permit requirement. The Town of Rutherford College 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 Rutherford College, nor the other entity fully performs the permit obligation. Table 9
below summarizes individual responsibilities for each program.

PART 7: ILLICIT DISCHARGE DETECTION AND ELIMINATION PROGRAM
MS4 Inspection Report for the Town of Rutherford College — Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
(IDDE), Permit Citation II.D.2.a. IDDE Program: The Town is regulated by the water supply watershed
protection ordinance, which does not contain any specific language on the application of notice of
violations. Written procedures for implementing an IDDE Program have not been completed. In response
the Town will locate priority areas likely to have illicit discharges, conduct routine dry weather outfall
inspections, identify illicit discharges and trace sources, eliminate the source(s) of an illicit discharge, and
evaluate and assess the IDDE Program.
The Town will also, in responses to, MS4 Inspection Report for the Town of Rutherford College — Illicit
Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE), Permit Citation II.D.2.b. Legal Authority, the Town will
create, adopt, maintain and enforce a stormwater ordinance and other regulatory mechanisms that provide
the legal authority to prohibit illicit connections and discharges to the MS4.
The Town maintained a map, but the major outfalls were not identified at time of audit. Since the audit
was complete, the Town hired West Consulting to map all outfalls, inlets, basins, and flow direction
(H.D.2.c. Storm Sewer System Map). In the future the Town will continue to update the MS4 map as new
development occurs (Permit Ref: 3.4.1 BMP 19).
In the last permit cycle, the Town did not conduct dry weather screening or maintain written procedures
for dry weather field activity (TI.D.2.d. Dry Weather Flow Program). Within the Stormwater
Management Plan a schedule is to be created to conduct dry weather screening. Data such as date
screening occurred, location of inspected outfall, and photos of outfall will be recorded in GIS.
The Town of Rutherford College Stormwater Management Plan outlines the response authority, but not
procedures (II.D.2.e.). Due to water supply watershed not identifying notice of violation procedures, the
Town of Rutherford College issued no NOVs. Currently, there is not a way to track and document
investigations (II.D.21. & j.).Within the new permit cycle, as stated below, the Town will be adopting an
TIDE Plan to establish written procedures. A chart will be used to track and document IDDE cases. This
will allow the Town to identify priority areas based on historical data.
Further, the Town will train municipal staff and the general public to identify illicit discharge and illegal
dumping through the use of educational outreach materials and training opportunities. Previously, no
training had been administered to employees (II.D.2.g.). Information to the public was provided in bill
inserts on a regular basis (II.D.21.). Educational material will be available to help educate public
employees, businesses, and the general public about hazards associated with illicit discharges and the
improper disposal of waste.
Public complaints of any kind can be report through a webpage portal; however the line of
communication was not publicized (II.D.2.1). The stormwater hotline phone number, as mentioned in the
public education and outreach and illicit discharge areas of this plan.
The Town of Rutherford College will develop, manage, implement, document, report and enforce an
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Program which shall, at a minimum, include the following
illicit discharge detection and elimination BMPs.

PART 8: CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL PROGRAM
In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0153, the Town of Rutherford College relies upon the North
Carolina Sedimentation Pollution Control Act (SPCA) of 1973 as a qualifying alternative program to
meet a portion of the NPDES MS4 Permit requirements for construction site runoff control measures.
The SPCA requirements include reducing pollutants in stormwater runoff from construction activities that
result in land disturbance of greater than or equal to one acre, and includes any construction activity that
is part of a larger common plan of development that would disturb one acre or more. The state SPCA
Program is either delegated to a city/town, delegated to a county, or implemented by NCDEQ in non -
delegated areas.

PART 9: POST -CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL PROGRAM
MS4 Inspection Report for the Town of Rutherford College — Post -construction Site Runoff Control
Program Implementation Status, Permit Citation: Currently, the Town does not have a mechanism in
place to require deed restrictions and protective covenants. Within the ordinance established in Permit
Year One enabling language granting the Town of Rutherford College the ability to require deed
restrictions and protective covenants (II.17.2.e.) will be included.
An inventory of projects will be kept and proactive inspections will be administered by Staff semi-
annually. A private engineer will certify each SCM annually to ensure functionality (II.F.2.g.) Upon
non-compliance, enforcement action will be taken, not a common practice in years past, but now the
Town will have a spreadsheet to record enforcement action to obtain compliance (H.F.2.i.).
MS4 Inspection Report for the Town of Rutherford College — Post -construction Site Runoff Control
Program Implementation Status, Permit Citation: H.F.3.c. Nutrient Sensitive Waters: The Town had not
designed or constructed any SCMs in the permitted area specifically to reduce nutrient loads.
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 Rutherford College and discharge into the MS4. These elements
are designed to minimize water quality impacts by 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 Rutherford College implements the
following State post -construction program requirements, which satisfy the NPDES Phase H MS4 post -
construction site runoff control requirements as Qualifying Alternative Program(s) (QAPs) in the MS4
area(s) where they are implemented.

The Town of Rutherford College has existing requirements including the presence of a Qualifying
Alternative Program(s) in all of the Town limits. The Qualified Alternative Program is the Lake
Rhodhiss water supply watershed Critical Area WS-IV and Protected Area WS-IV. To ensure
compliance with the NPDES MS4 Phase II post -construction program requirements the Town of
Rutherford College applies the post -construction standards throughout the Town Limits, including the
area that is located within the water supply watershed. These requirements are to be adopted as local
ordinance(s) per BMP 37.B.1. and implementation per BMP 37.B.3-4, and are summarized in Table 19

PART 10: POLLUTION PREVENTION AND GOOD HOUSEKEEPING PROGRAMS
This SWAP provides a comprehensive pollution prevention and good housekeeping strategy for the
Town of Rutherford College 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 park 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 Cleaning Program
7. Pavement Management Program
The Town of Rutherford College will manage, implement and report the pollution prevention and good
housekeeping BMPs as specified in Table 21 below for each required program. In response to the
inefficiencies identified in the MS4 Inspection Report, Permit Citations II.G.2.a., the Town had
maintained an inventory of municipal facilities, but had not determined which facilities were at risk to
generate polluted stormwater runoff. A list of these possible polluters will be established.
An O & M program for the facilities, SCMs, catch basins and conveyance systems has not be created to
date (II.G.2.b, II.G.2.e, and II.G.2.£). After the acceptance of the SWMP and in Permit Year One, an O
& M program will be established. (BMP 45). Furthermore, the municipal facilities and SCMs were being
inspected annually, as required per DEQ, but did not include documentation for potential stormwater
impacts (II.G.2.b. and II.G.21.). Incorporated in the O & M program, staff will be trained to determine
appropriate operations and maintenance for facilities and SCMs. To date staff had no training in this area.
The Town of Rutherford College staff did not perform street maintenance, including cleaning of catch
basins and stormwater conveyances (II.G.2.e).
II.G.2.d states that "The Town of Rutherford College did not evaluate BMPs based on their pollutant
removal" in reference to streets, roads, and public parking lot maintenance. Several of the BMPs below
address this issue by developing, adopting, and maintaining procedures that focus on pollutant removal in
these impervious areas. Permit Reference: 3.7.7, BMP's 58-61 address this prior lack of evaluation and
program implementation. BMP 58 focuses on setting schedules and requirements for street/parking lot
sweeping. BMPs 59 and BMP 60 focuses on minimizing and collecting litter/debris, with BMP 59.B.2
working in part as a community outreach program. BMP 61 addresses procedures for cleaning the oils,
fluids, and debris that can come from car accidents by utilizing the developed standard spill procedures as
necessary according to II.G.2.c.
NCS000480 SWMP
Town of Rutherford College
March 30, 2021
Page 62

In the audit, II.G.2.e addresses the prior lack of maintenance of the Town's storm sewer system, Permit
Reference, 3.7.3, BMP's 48-51 focus on the training, inspection, and maintenance of said system. BMP
48 develops the required O&M plan which defines procedures/schedules, BMP 49 trains maintainers on
the correct procedure, BMP 50 focuses on inspection along with its documentation, and BMP 51
addresses the audit problem itself by performing the maintenance on the system with documentation.
Previously, the use of pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers in municipal facilities was not well tracked or
managed as stated in II.G.2.i. Permit Reference, 3.7.5, BMP 54 focuses to ensure all staff using
pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers are officially certified and following appropriate (minimal) usage.
BMP 55 focuses on tracking contractor certification as well as the copies of permits of both municipal
staff and contractors.
II.G.2.j. addresses inconstant/lacking training for municipal employees in regards to good housekeeping
and pollution practices. This is addressed in: 46.B.5, 47.B.4, 49.B.I BMP 53.B.5, 54.B.1, 56.13.2, 57.b.3,
6 Lb.1, and 45.b.1. Each of these BMPs focusing on each of the 7 programs required by the permit.
II.G.2.k. addresses a lack of measures regarding correct waste disposal and cleaning of municipal
vehicles/equipment. BMP 56 focuses on the washing side of the problem, addressing training, protocol,
requirements, and options for municipal vehicle operators. BMP 57 focuses on the other side of the issue,
ensuring that vehicle maintenance facilities are correctly disposing of waste and that permitting is
correctly followed to ensure MS4 compliance.
