PART 1: INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) is to establish and define the means by which
Rocky Mount 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 Rocky Mount 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 NCS000442, as issued by NCDEQ. This permit covers activities associated with the
discharge of stormwater from the MS4 as owned and operated by Rocky Mount and located within the
corporate limits of Rocky Mount.

In preparing this SWMP, Rocky Mount 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. 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.

3.8 Non-Stormwater Discharges
The water quality impacts of non-stormwater discharges have been evaluated by Rocky Mount as
summarized in Table 6 below. The unpermitted non-stormwater flows listed as incidental do not
significantly impact water quality. Rocky Mount 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 Division has not required that other non-stormwater flows be specifically controlled by the
City of Rocky Mount.

Wash water associated with car washing that does not contain detergents or does not discharge directly
into the MS4 is considered incidental residential, charity, and community car washes may create
discharge that makes it way to the storm drain. It was determined that they do not significantly impact
water quality but pose a possible cause of water quality impact that will be addressed through public
education.

3.9 Target Pollutants and Sources
In addition to those target pollutants identified above, Rocky Mount is aware of other significant water
quality issues within the permitted MS4 area. These include litter/illegal dumping, yard waste, sediment,
nitrogen, phosphorus, and pet waste.

Based upon the Tar - Pamlico River Nutrient Sensitive Waters Rule, sediment, nitrogen, and phosphorus
have been identified as pollutants of concern. Pet waste is a general issue associated with residential
areas.

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, Rocky Mount has evaluated construction companies,
schools, homeowners and businesses as target audiences that are likely to have significant stormwater
impacts through uninformed management practices.

PART 8: CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL PROGRAM
In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0153, Rocky Mount relies upon the North Carolina Sedimentation
Pollution Control Act (SPCA) of 1973 and the NCG010000 permit for construction activities as
qualifying alternative programs to meet the NPDES MS4 Permit requirements for all construction site
runoff control measures to reduce pollutants in stormwater runoff from construction activities that result
in land disturbance of greater than or equal to one acre and any construction activity that is part of a larger
common plan of development that would disturb one acre or more.

PART 9: POST-CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL PROGRAM
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 Rocky Mount 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, Rocky Mount implements the following State post-
construction program requirements, which satisfy the NPDES Phase II MS4 post-construction site runoff
control requirements as Qualifying Alternative Programs (QAPs) in the MS4 area(s) where they are
implemented.
