PART 1: INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) is to establish and define the means by which
the Town of Gamewell 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 m nimum measures that the Town of Gamewell 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 NCS000603, 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 Gamewell and located
within the corporate limits of the Town of Gamewell.
In preparing this SWMP, the Town of Gamewell 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 Phis SWMP, along
with any approved modifications of the SWMP, are incorporated by reference into the permit and become
enforceable parts of the permit. Any major changes to the approved SWMP will require resubmittal,
review and approval by NCDEQ, and may require a new public comment period depending on the nature
of the changes.

3.2 Existing MS4 Mapping
The current MS4 mapping ncludes on ]oeated within the Town of Gamewelll in the future the
Town will be adding the following elements to the map: pipe locations, flow direction, inverts, ditches,
nlets, catch basins, manholes outfall, sizes and conditions (Reference BMP 19),
The Town of Gamewell has a historic count of 9 outfalls per the GIS layer created; however it is not
certain that all of these are major per the definition provided below. The Town will be verifying all
elements as mentioned above in the completion of BMP 19.

*An outfall is a point where the MS4 discharges from a pipe or other conveyance (e.g. a ditch) directly
nto surface waters. Major outfalls are required to be napped to neetpermit 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 Gamewell MS4 is located within the Catawba 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:

3.4 MS4lnterconnection
The Town of Gamewell MS4 is interconnected with another regulated MS4 and directly receives
stormwater from the City of Lenoir MS4. The number of interconnections entering the Town of
Gamewell MS4 from the City of Lenoir is unknown due to the stone sewer not being mapped. The Town
of Gamewell will map the stonn sewer and flow in the near future to help determine interconnectivity
(Reference BMP 20).
Currently, -a -limited amount ofdata -is-available. Field -staff w111-collect forther-data using -a-GIS-mapping
application to locate flow direction, inverts, ditches, inlets, catch basins, manholes outfall, sizes and
conditions. Staff will develop a GIS mapping application off of field techniques, data recording, and pre-
existing plans or blue prints from the Town of Gamewell.
The MS4 does interconnect with the statewide NCDOT MS4 and includes:
a. The interconnection is receiving stonnwater from the NCDOT MS4. The mm�ber of interconnections
is unknown.

3.5 Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs)
The TMDLs) listed h� Table 3 below have been approved within the Town of Gamewell, as determined
by the map and list provided on the NCDEO Modeling & Assessment Unit web gage. 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 Gamewell
as summarized in Table 6 below. The unpermitted non-stormwater flows listed as incidental do not
significantly impact water quality. The Town of Gamewell 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
S WMP. The Division has not required that other non-Stormwater flows be specifically controlled by the
Town of Gamewell.
Wash water associated with car washing that does not contain detergents or does not discharge directly
nto the MS4 is considered incidental. However, these types of non-stormwater discharges that do
contain detergents have been evaluated by the Town of Gamewell to determine whether they may
significantly impact water quality. The Town of Gamewell 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 46-48, 50, 54, 55, 57, 58 and 62 with a focus on the training of good
housekeeping practices.

3.9 Target Pollutants and Sources
In addition Yo those target pollutants identif ed above, the Town of Gamewell is aware of other significant
water quality issues within the permitted MS4 area. The increase in benthos is most likely due to the
Town of Gamewell being downstream from the City of Lenoir. The Lower Creek basin catches a
majority of the stormwater runoff. Target pollutants as listed below are major contributors of the stream
impairment. TMDL measures have been put in place to improve water quality.
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
S WMP programs) that address. In addition, the Town of Gamewell has evaluated schools, homeowners
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 and been noted by code enforcement officers within the Town.
Cases of both illegal construction waste dumping and general residential m school dumping have been
noted by code enforcement officers. 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 fitter 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 not ced Do 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
Residents have 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 cormected 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: Health Department has noted several cases where restaurants no not empty
or own/rent grease traps for appropriate removal.
The Health Department has reported several restaurants in Gamewell not maintaining, or even own ng,
grease traps. This has led to cases of the restaurants either illegally dumping the grease or allowing the
grease to drip onto 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 not properly labeled or stored
Town staff; along with some citizens have repotted that containers of unknown unmarked chemicals 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: 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. Within the Catawba River Basin roughly 46 streams are/were impacted by fecal
eohform, with 10 being fisted on the 303(d) fist. As this is a non -point source pollutant it is hard to locate
the exact source of this runoff, however in much of the watershed there is agricultural zoning that makes
t likely for these types of impairments to occur. Roughly 20% of land use within the basin is agricultural.
Underground storage tanks: Storage devices installed below ground that contain hazardous
materials/wasteI
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. The 10 303(d) fecal coliform impaired streams listed can have
some attribution to septic tank leakage.
Illicit discharges: Originate from a variety of sources, with an equally varied number of effects
dependent on the chemical that is released.

Town of Gamewell
April 22, 2021
Page 10

Typically, illicit discharges come from bus nesses, residents or municipal facilities who dump Chem cals
nto storm drains either incidentally due to a lack of 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. Many of the 303(d) benthos impaired streams can be attributed to IDDE issues, but
they are often from inexact/non-point sources that are attributed to illicit discharges
Illegal dumping: Wben residents, businesses, or municipal employees dump waste randomly in
non -permitted dumping areas.
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
mpairments, 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 soli 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 Gamewell shall maintain adequate fundurg and staffing
to implement and manage the provisions of the SWMP and comply with the requirements of the NPDES
MST Permit. The budget includes the permit administering and compliance fee, which is billed by the
Division annually. Due to the increase NPDES permit mandates, the first year of the permit cycle will be
used to determine a base fine for the stormwater program funding needs. The funding mechanism will be
analyzed through the completion of a fiscal gap analysis to determine how the stormwater program will
be implemented and funding obtained
The Town of Gamewell, has atwo-year contract (which will need to be modified, adopted, and signed
every two years) with Western Piedmont Council of Governments for the following services: Public
Education and Outreach Program, Public Involvement and Participation Program, Illicit Discharge
Detection and Elimination Program, Post -Construction Site Runoff Control Program, and Pollution
Prevention and Good Housekeeping Programs. The current contract amount for the 2-year period (years 1
and 2 of the NPDES permit cycle) is $22,212.00. 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 cost. The Town may
determine that stormwater utility fees should be implemented; 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 mapping outfalls, stream repairs, and other water quality efforts. Revenue versus funding will be
reviewed each year to determine needed changes.
Should the Town of Gamewell choose not to renew the existing two-year contract, prior to the last month,
a revision to the ex sting NPDES perm t and Sto mwater Management Plan would need to occur. The
Town of Garnewell would be required to renew the two-year contract, in years 2021 and 2023, to fully
carry out the 5 year NPDES permit cycle. The Town of Gamewell would be required to fully carry out the
5 year NPDES permit cycle.
4.3 Shared Responsibility
Beginning July 2019, the Town of Gamewell will share the responsibility, with WPCOG (referred to as
entity), to implement the following minimum control measmes, which are as stringent as the
corresponding NPDES MS4 Permit requirement. The Town of Gamewell 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 Gamewell, nor the other entity fully performs the permit obligation. Table
9 below summarizes individual responsibilities for each program.

to meet the State requirements for this section, a self -assessment and the effectiveness of the program
components will be completed annually. Written procedures, otherwise known as, Stormwater

during Permit Year One of the NPDES permit cycle following the acceptance of the SWMP and issuance
of the NPDES permit.
MS4Inspection Report for the Town of Gamewell -Program Implementation, Documentation &
Assessment, Permit Citation - III.A. Program Documentation; The City of Lenoir on the Town's behalf
maintained some documentation regarding illicit discharge complaints and enforcement actions; however,
there was an overall lack of documentation relating to the Town's stormwater program (e.g., no
documentation for inspections, maintenance activities, or educational programs).
MS4 Inspection Report for the Town of Gamewell -Program Implementation, Documentation &
Assessment, Permit Citation - ITI.B. Annual Report Submittal: The latest MS4 annual report submitted
was for the 2014-2015 reporting year. The report included a brief description of the six minimum control
measures and initiative at the time. However, the report lacked detail regarding specific milestones for
the measures, overall plan accountability, or what was accomplished during the reporting period. Instead,
the report described plans for future MS4 program implementation, which largely had not yet been
mplemented. Further, the 2014-2015 report did not include a fiscal analysis (Permit Citation - IV.B).
The Town of Gamewell will manage and report the following Best Management Practices (BMPs) for the
administration of the Stormwater Management Program

PART r: ILLICIT DISCHARGE DETECTION AND ELIMINATION PROGRAM
MS4 hvspect on Report fox the Town of Gamewell — Tllicit Discharge Detection and Elim narion (IDDE),
Permit Citation ILD.2.a. IDDE Program: The Town had not developed written procedures for
mplementing an IDDE Program. 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 response to, MS4 Inspection Report for the Town of Gamewell — Illicit Discharge
Detection and Elimination (IDDE), Permit Citation II.D.2.b. Legal Authority, the Town will maintain and
enforce the adopted stonnwater ordinance and other regulatory mechanisms that provide the legal
authority to prohibit illicit connections and discharges to the MS4.
The City of Lenoir, on behalf of the Town of Gamewell provided a map of the Town of Gannewell's
outfalls and MSC locations during the MS4 Inspection; however the map was developed in 2013, the
accuracy of the map is in question and the Town did not use the map to facilitate any MS4 activities
(II.D.2.e. Storm Sewer System Map). In the future the Town will be mapping the complete MS4 within
Permit Years 3 through 5 (Permit Ref: 3.4.1 BMP 20)
In the last permit cycle, the Town did not conduct dry weather screening or maintain written procedures
for dry weather field activity (II.D.2.d. Dry Weather Flow Program). Within the Stormwater
Management Plan a schedule is to be created to conduct dry weather screening quarterly. Data such as
date screening occurred, location of inspected outfall, and photos of outfall will be recorded in GIS.
The City of Lenoir, on behalf of the Town of Gamewell, in the past has taken a reactive approach to Illicit
Discharge investigations with no written procedures (If.D.2.e.). A list of violators were provided to DEQ
dating back to 2011; however a majority of the cases did not have a documented resolution (II.D.2.f.). It
s unclear if any of the violations were in the Town of Gamewell. Within the new permit cycle, as stated
below, the Town will be adopting an IIDE Plan to establish written procedures. A proactive stance will be
nitrated with the use of a GIS application 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
lumping through the use of educational outreach materials and training opportunities. Previously, no
t aining had been administered (II.D.2.g. & h.). 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 could be submitted to the Town through a webpage portal or by phone;
however the tine of communication was not publicized (ILD.2.i). The stonnwater hotline phone number,
as mentioned in the public education and outreach and Illicit discharge areas of this plan, will be
established on the WPCOG website. -A link from the Town's website will lead to the WPCOG portal, A - -
citizen can make a complaint via hotline number or through an email tool on the WPCOG webpage.
The Town of Gamewell 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.

In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0153, the MS4name relies upon. the North Carolhra 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
nclude 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

MS4 Inspection Report for the Town of Gamewell — Post -construction Site Runoff Cont of Program
Implementation Status, Permit Citation: I1_F.2.a. Legal Authority, "At the time of inspection, the Town
was utilizing a Caldwell County ordinance to implement the post -construction site runoff controls
program. The Ordinance authorized Caldwell County, rather than the Town of Gamewell, to review
plans, request information, and enter private property to conduct inspections of post -construction
controls." Within Permit Year one of the NPDES Permit cycle, a Town ordinance was developed and
adopted authorizing the Town, rather than the County to administer the aforementioned items. Within the
ordinance established in Permit Year One enabling language granting the Town of Gamewell the ability
to require deed restrictions and protective covenants (111.2.e.) will be included.
Contracting WPCOG, an inventory of projects will be established (BMP 36.B.1, 2, and 3) within the
municipal limits, this is in response to Permit Citation II.F.2.d. of the latest audit (2018), Along with the
nventory list proactive inspections will be administered by Staff semi-annually and certified by a private
engineer annually to ensure SCM 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 GIS tracking mechanism to
proactively enforce to obtain compliance (II.F.2.i.).

Implementation Status, Permit Citation: II.F.3.c. Nutrient Sensitive Waters: The City of Lenoir, on behalf
of the Town of Gamewell had not designed or constructed any SCMs in the permitted area specifically to
reduce nutrient loads. At this time it is unclear if the co-permitees with in the MS4 are receiving discharge
into the nutrient sensitive waters.
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 Gamewell 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 Gamewell implements the following
State post -construction program requirements, which satisfy the NPDES Phase II MS4 post -construction
site runoff control requirements as Qualifying Alternative Program(s) (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 Gamewell 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 followhig 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 Gamewell 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 H.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 and SCMs has not be created to date (ILG.2.b. and II.G.2.e.). After
the acceptance of the SWMP and n Permit Year One, an O & M program will be established.
Furthermore, the municipal facilities and SCMs were not being inspected annually, as required per DEQ
1I.G 2.b. c. & g.). Municipal SCMs were not inventoried to date; but "it is believed that the Town of
Gamewell does not have municipally owned structural stormwater controls" (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 Gamewell 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 City of Lenoir did not evaluate BMPs based on their pollutant removal" in
reference to streets, roads, and public parking Jot 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 59-62 address this prior lack of evaluation and
program implementation. BMP 59 focuses on setting schedules and requirements for street/parking lot
sweeping. BMPs 60 and BMP 61 focuses on minimizing and collecting litter/debris, with BMP W11.2
working in part as a community outreach program. BW 62 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.
FINAL NCS000603 SWMP

ht 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 49-52 focus on the training, inspection, and maintenance of said system. BMP
49 develops the required O&M plan which defines procedures/schedules, BMP 50 trains maintainers on
the correct procedure, BMP 51 focuses on inspection along with its documentation, and BMP 52
addresses the audit problem itself by performing the maintenance on the system with documentation.
Previously, the use of pest cides, herbicides, and fertilizers n mun cipal facilit es was not well t acked or
managed as stated in II.G.21. Permit Reference, 3.7.5, BMP 55 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.i addresses inconstant/lacking U'aining for municipal employees in regards to good housekeeping
and pollution practices. This is addressed in: 47.13.5, 48.B.4, 49.11.1, BMP 54.B.5, 55.13.1, 57.11.2, 58.b.3,
6Ili.1, and 47.b.1. Each of these BMPs focusing on each of the 7 programs required by the permit.
II.G.2.J addresses a lack of measures regarding correct waste disposal and cleaning of municipal
vehicles/equipment BMP 57 focuses on the washing side of the problem, addressing training, protocol,
requirements, and options for municipal vehicle operators. BMP 58 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.
