This SWMP identifies the specific elements and minimum measures that the Town of Fletcher 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 NCS000424, 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 Fletcher and located within the corporate limits of the Town of FIetcher, In preparing this SWMP, the Town of Fletcher• 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 duality 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. 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.

Signature: Print Name: Mark Biberdorf Title: Town Manager �.�y Signed this d of December 2021 NCS000424 SWMP Town of Fletcher December 6, 2021 Page 2 PART 3: M84 INFORMATION 3.1 Permitted MS4 Area This SWMP applies throughout the corporate limits of the Town of Fletcher., including all regulated activities associated with the discharge of stormwater from the MS4. The map below shows the Town's boundary, as of the date of this document. 3.2 Existing MS4 Mapping The most current MS4 mapping was completed in 2007 as part of a Stormwater Masteiplan. It included 230 outfall locations and analysis (135 major pipe outfalls). Existing culverts were studied in 2007 to determine conditions and possible pipe failure analysis. Documentation consisted of culvert sizes, conditions and locations. This Mapping has not been updated since 2007. The Town's 2007 Outfall Map includes all pipe outfalls that were inventoried throughout the Town. A total of 230 outfall points including pipes and channels, 59 pipes/culverts and 6 bridges were mapped. The number represented in Table 1 represents an estimate of the mapped area and the estimated number of major outfalls. NCS000424 SWMP Town of Fletcher December 6, 202I Page 3 The Town of Fletcher Storinwater Master Plan was created to address the following stormwater related items: • Creating a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II compliant Stormwater Ordinance. • NPDES compliant storinwater outfall inventory and illicit discharge detection. • Town of Fletcher culvert capacity analysis. • Detailed Wildwood Garden/ Higgins Branch analysis. • Minimum Detailed Hoopers Valley Estates I Hoopers Creek Analysis. • On -going Stormwater Conveyance System Maintenance. A MS4 GIS map is not available on-line at this time. See BMP # 11 for plans to provide on-line maps. Table 1: Summary of Current MS4 Mapping Percent of MS4 Area Mapped 80 % No. of Major Outfalls* Mapped 135 total See BMPs 411 and 414 for updating mechanisms and timelines for improving the MS4 mapping. *An outfall is a point where the MS4 discharges fi•orn a pipe or other conveyance (e.g. a ditch) directly into sinface ivaters. Major outfalls are required to he mapped to meet permit requirements. A major, outfall is a 36-inch diameter pipe or discharge fi•om a drainage area > 50-acres; and for industrial zoned areas a 12-inch diameterpipe or a drainage area > 2-acres. 3.3 Receiving Waters The Town of Fletcher MS4 is located within the French Broad 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 Mat3 o Impaired Waters and TM.DI Ma o Most recent NCDEQ Final 303 d List Table 2: Summary of MS4 Receiving Waters NCS000424 SWMP Town of Fletcher December 6, 2021 Page 4 Receiving Water.Name Stream Index / AU Number Water Quality Classification 303(d) Listed Parameter .' of Interest Cane Creek C Benthos (Nar, AL, FW); Fish Tissue Mercury (Nar, FC, NC) Pinner Creek C;Tr Hoopers Creels C;Tr Kimsey Creek C Higgins Creek C Frady Lake C C — Class C (fishable/swimmable waters) Tr — Trout Waters Benthos (Nar, AL, FW) — Narrative Standard, Aquatic Life, Fresh Waters Fish Tissue Mercury (Nar, FC, NC) All waters, river basins, and watershed in North Carolina 3.4 MS4 Interconnection The Town of Fletcher MS4 is not interconnected with another regulated MS4 and directly discharges to the receiving waters as listed in Table 2 above. Town roadways interconnect with NCDOT state -maintained roads throughout the jurisdiction such as SR 25 Hendersonville Road, Route 1358 Fanning Bridge Road, Route 1006 Howard Gap Road, Route 1545 Cane Creek Road, Route 1547 Old Airport Road and multiple other secondary NCDOT roadways. At this time a copy of the NCDOT statewide MS4 has not been made publicly available. Therefore, the below responses are based purely on road ownership, The ownership of the roadway was not used as a determining factor for inclusion in 2007 when the Town's original stormwater outfall inventory was performed. The Town has not completed the MS4 system inventory. This BMP is scheduled to be performed during this corning permit cycle. Therefore, we believe the Town's MS4 likely does interconnect with the statewide NCDOT MS4 and includes: a. The interconnection is receiving stormwater from the NCDOT MS4. The number of interconnections is unknown, The quantity will be determined and reported during this permit Cycle. b. The interconnection maybe discharging stormwater into the NCDOT MS4. The number of interconnections is unknown. The quantity will be determined and reported during this permit cycle. c. The Town of Fletcher MS4 mapping does identify interconnections with the NCDOT MS4. d. The Town of Fletcher MS4 mapping may include NCDOT MS4 outfalls. NCS000424 SWMP Town of Fletcher December 6, 2021 Page 5 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 Approximately 98% of the mercury deposited in NC is due to air emissions. Other minor sources may include wastewater treatment plants and industrial wastewater dischargers. The Town of Fletcher has no wastewater treatment facilities. There are several NPDES permit holders in Fletcher (see Section 3.7). Local impacts of non -point source discharges are controlled by NCDEQ Water Quality programs such as the Phase II Program. The Town of Fletcher has implemented its Phase II program by contracting with Henderson County for permitting of stormwater managetnent measures. See other areas of this SWMP for additional information on strategies for water quality recovery.

The unpermitted non-storrnwater flows listed as incidental do not significantly impact water quality. The Town of Fletcher has evaluated residential and charity car washing for possible significant water quality impacts. Dry street sweeping is the method for street cleaning. The Division has not required that other non-stormwater flows be specifically controlled by the Town of Fletcher. 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 Fletcher to determine whether they may significantly impact water quality. As a result of no complaints, and the small amount of visual observations, it has been determined that residential and charity car washing with detergent is considered incidental in the Town of Fletcher.

NCS000424 SWMP Town of Fletcher December 6, 2021 Page 8 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 each. In addition, the Town of Fletcher has evaluated schools, homeowners and businesses as target audiences that are likely to have significant stormwater impacts. The target audiences, as shown in Table 7 were identified due to the potential for these entities to contribute to pollutants and because they are the groups that have probable ability to affect positive change, Table 7: Summary of Target Pollutants and Sources Target.Pollutant(s) Likely Source(s)/Target Audience(s) SWMP :Program Addressing Target Pollutant(s)/Audience(s) Litter Residents, Businesses, Schools Public Education & Outreach, Public Involvement & Participation Yard Waste Residents, Businesses, Schools Public Education & Outreach Public Involvement & Participation Illicit discharges Residents, Businesses, Industrial, Public Education & Outreach, Public public employees Involvement & Participation, Illicit Discharge Detection & Elimination (IDDE) Sediment Construction Sites Construction Site Runoff Control, Post -Construction Site Runoff Control Illegal Dumping Residents, Businesses, Industrial, Public Education & Outreach, public employees Pollution Prevention & Good Housekeeping Improper Disposal of Residents, Businesses, Industrial, Public Education & Outreach, Waste public employees Pollution Prevention & Good Housekeeping PART 4: STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION 4.1 Organizational Structure hi the Town of Fletcher the Planning Director is designated as the Stormwater Program Administrator.

The budget includes the permit administering and compliance fee, which is billed by the Division annually. The Town of Fletcher's current stormwater program is funded under the Planning Department Budget. An amount of $30,000 is currently budgeted for the program over the permit term.. Current analysis shows the MS4 program to be under -funded. The Town is currently evaluating their budget in order to have adequate funds for implementation of the SWMP and to comply with MS4 Permit requirements, The Town currently has one frill time employee and one part-time employee in the Plaiming and Zoning Department. Storinwater Program responsibilities are currently overseen by the Planning and Zoning Director. The Public Works Director is also involved in elements of the SWMP, In order for the NCS000424 SWMP Town of Fletcher December 6, 2021 Page I I successful implementation of certain sections of this SWMP, it will be determined (BMP 44) if additional funds will be required for adding staffing or contract employees. Additional funding will be necessary to meet the requirements of the Town's MS4 Permit. Steps will be taken to evaluate this need and put funding mechanisms in place (see BMP #3 and #4). In the last 2 fiscal years, the Town has increased their Stormwater budget which is at $30,000, Town Council is aware of the recent Audit and creation of a new SWMP. There is a plan to go back to Council for the next budget cycle (Jan -March) with a more accurate picture of cost needs to properly run the program. The Town is currently in discussions with Land of Sky Regional Council to evaluate what can be funded through Grants, aiding in the Town's fielding analysis. 4.3 Shared Responsibility The Town of Fletcher will share the responsibility to implement the following minimum control measures, which are at least as stringent as the corresponding NPDES M84 Permit requirement. The Town of Fletcher 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 Fletcher nor the other entity fully performs the permit obligation. Table 9 below 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.
