Facility Documentation/Training
Does the facility have a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) or similar document? Is it facility -specific?
Yes. Since Fleet Services has a SIC number of 75 (Transit and Transportation); this municipally -owned facility was Issued a general
stormwater permit in 2008. Fleet Services' Stormwater Permit Number is NCG080801; it has a site -specific SWPPP since 2008.
Please reference Item #24 for Fleet Services' SWPPP template.
What type of stormwater training do facility employees receive? How often?
During FY 2021-2022, the Senior Community Educator, Stormwater Operations Analyst, and the City's Marketing and
Communications Department created a new training video that highlights proper pollution prevention & municipal good
housekeeping practices for key City operations to eliminate pollutant exposure to the environment. A main topic in this video
pertains to best management practices for vehicle washing, maintenance, and fueling activities. From November 2021 to March
2022, 22 team members of Fleet Services viewed and passed a confirmation test of Stormwater's new PP & MGH and IDDE training
video, including all three site supervisors. This educational video will need to be viewed by all City employees on an annual
frequency for maximum memory retention.
Other than this video training, Fleet has not performed site -specific training—Stormwater staff has denoted this requirement on
the Inspection form.
Inspector Training/Knowledge
What type of stormwater training does the MS4 Inspector receive? How often?
Mr. Clark was promoted to the position of Stormwater Inspector in 2012. Mr. Clark was trained in inspection techniques and best
professional knowledge by Mr. Andy Allen, the original Stormwater Inspector who oversaw and managed the city's Stormwater
Inspection Program from 2004-2007. Mr. Allen created the City's Stormwater Inspection Program in conjunction with NCDENR
WSRO staff —specifically, DWR Specialist Rose Pruitt, Mr. Allen's former job position was with the City's Industrial Waste Control
Chemist, who inspected industrial facilities for compliance with wastewater regulations. In 2006 when the Stormwater Division was
audited by an EPA Contractor, SAIL, the inspection process was refined, as recommended by Mr. Jerry Whitman (SAIC Contractor).
Since 2006, the City's Inspection Program has been amended, as needed, to remain compliant. Mr. Allen trained Mr. Clark over the
course of a year for a joint inspection regimen of 12 private and public facilities.
COVID-19 severely hampered staffs ability to attend in -person training; however, Mr. Allen and Mr. Clark attended almost all Wow
Wednesday Stormwater Training Sessions presented by DWR during 2021, In addition, both MS4 Inspectors reviewed and passed
the confirmation test from Stormwater's PP and MGH training video. This video will be required to be an annual training event.
NCS000247_Winston-Salem 2022 MS4 Self -Audit Page 38 of 58
Site Visit Evaluation: Municipal Facility No. 1
Did the MS4 inspector appear knowledgeable about Permit requirements for pollution prevention and good housekeeping?
Yes, Mr. Clark is very well -versed regarding general stormwater permit requirements for PP and MGH practices. During the
inspection, Mr. Clark had a hard copy of the NCGO8000 general stormwater permit requirements by comparing onsite conditions to
written SWPPP contents. Missing or deficient permit requirements (e.g, annual certification statement of nonstormwater
discharges) were denoted and listed as a Required Action to be completed by the Facility, Part 5 of the inspection form.
Did the MS4 inspector appear knowledgeable about stormwater pollution prevention and good housekeeping?
Yes, Mr. Clark is very knowledgeable concerning best management practices for PP and MGH operations. Mr. Clark is extremely
thorough and seeks problematic areas of potential pollutant exposure to the open environment. Mr. Clark examines
unloading/loading, waste disposal, product storage, automotive process (e.g. fueling, storage of wrecked vehicles, etc.) outdoor
processes, and dust or particulate generating sources to evaluate the risk exposure to rainwater. If risk is identified, Mr. Clark
provides written documentation for requiring corrective measures (aka BMPs) to eliminate exposure to stormwater. In addition,
Mr. Clark confirms that indoor fixtures (e.g. oil and water separators, collection floor drains, etc.) are connected the sanitary sewer.
During the August 20, 2021 Inspection of Fleet Services, Mr. Clark required 35 PP and MGH BMPs for Fleet Services to implement
for minimizing/eliminating pollutant exposure to rainwater.
Inspection Procedures
Does the MS4 inspector's process Include the use of a checklist or other standardized form?
Yes, the Stormwater Division uses a hybrid municipal/Industrial goodhousekeeping inspection form for evaluating private and
public facilities or operations. This form was revised in October 2020 to reflect general permit conditions as well as creating a
uniform evaluation tool that applies to all facilities/operations. Please reference Item #23, which is the City's Inspection Form
template that Stormwater staff uses to inspect facilities for determining compliance.
Does the MS4 inspector's process include taking photos?
Yes, Mr. Clark attached 30 pictures to his inspection form, which were taken during the inspection of Fleet Services. The
photographs highlight sources of pollutant exposure, examples of deficient measures, etc, while reinforcing required actions that
Fleet Services must implement to eliminate pollutant exposure.
Does the MS4 inspector's process include reviewing the facility's SWPPP (or similar document)?
Yes. As per Item #30, the City's industrial Inspection SOP Manual, the Stormwater Inspector requests a current SWPPP from the
facility PRIOR to the site inspection. Mr. Clark had a SWPPP current copy of Fleet Services (from Brandon Wise, who inspected Fleet
Services four months earlier) with him during the inspection as a technical resource. Based on the information that Mr. Clark
provided to Fleet Services staff (e.g. SDO locations, connectivity of oil/water separators to specific sewer laterals, etc.), it was
obvious that he had reviewed Fleet's SWPPP prior to the inspection.
Does the MS4 inspector's process include walking the entire facility and Inspecting all points of discharge?
Yes, Mr. Clark walked the entire facility area of Fleet Services and Inspected all three stormwater discharge outfalls (and upgradient
conveyances or drainage areas) for any obvious signs of pollutants. Mr. Clark highlighted pollutant removal from the upgradient
area (see Picture #1 in Item #33, Fleet Services' Inspection Form). In addition, Mr. Clark referenced remote operations that Fleet
oversees (automated vehicle -washing activities) at 2000 Lowery Street during the inspection; Mr. Clark required that this facility be
included for a routine cleaning schedule (and document accordingly) to eliminate pollutant exposure.
Did the MS4 inspector miss any obvious areas of concern? If so, explain:
No, Mr. Clark did not miss any obvious areas of concern — his inspection was extremely thorough.
Does the MS4 inspector's process include presenting the inspection findings to the facility contact?
Yes, Mr. Clark emailed Mr. McDaniel, Mr. Harper, and Mr. Thomas an electronic copy of the August 20,2021 reinspection form of
Fleet Services. This email was sent to each person on September 2, 2021— Mr. McDaniel provided verbal receipt of said inspection
form. Also, at the end of the inspection, Mr. Clark verbally communicated all Required Actions that Fleet Services would need to
complete, as per the initial inspection results.

Site Visit Evaluation: Municipal Facility No. 1
Inspection Results
Did the facility inspection result in any corrective actions to be implemented? If so, for what issue(s)?
Yes. Mr. Clark required 56 corrective measures to be implemented for achieving permit compliance. These corrective measures
range from updating SWPPP components to implementation of BMPs for pollutant reduction. Please reference Part 5, Required
Actions to be completed by the Facility, of the attached Item #33 for specific sites issues.
If compliance corrective actions were Identified, what.timeline for correction/follow-up was provided?
Mr. Clark provided a due date of December 3, 2021 for all corrective measures to be completed. The due date was contained in the
inspection form cover letter, written in red font color and italicized for ease of reference by Fleet Services staff. The time frame of
three months was agreed upon by Fleet Services staff and Mr. Clark.
PLEASE NOTE: Since the Stormwater Division has been unable to hire a new Stormwater Inspector since June 2021, Mr. Allen
performed a site reinspection of Fleet Services on March 8, 2022. Based on this reinspection, the Required Actions to be completed
by the Facility (Part 5 of the inspection form), the outstanding corrective measures decreased from 56 to 20 items. The new due
date from completion is May 13, 2022. After speaking to Mr. McDonald on May 17, 2022, Fleet Services has not sufficient time to
complete these 20 Required Actions due to a severe staff shortage. Mr. McDonald will investigate what potential solutions exist
with Departmental Director Geiss — Mr. McDonald will pose potential solutions to Stormwater staff for complying with all Required
Actions. Both entities will remain inclose contact with each other to successfully resolving Fleet Service's Stormwater inspection.

Facility Documentation/Training
Does the facility have a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) or similar document? Is it facllity-specific?
Yes. Since Muddy Creek WWTP has a pretreatment program and receives over 1.0 MGD of domestic sewage, so the facility is
required to be covered under a NCG110000 general stormwater permit. Muddy Creek WWTP was issued a Treatment Works
General Stormwater Permit by NC DEQ- the permit number is NCG110133. Muddy Creek WWTP received a site -specific SWPPP in
2008 from a contracted professional engineering firm. Numerous aspects of Muddy Creek WWTP's SWPPP needs to be updated to
reflect current site conditions or practices.
What type of stormwater training do facility employees receive? How often?
During FY 2021-2022, the Senior Community Educator, Stormwater Operations Analyst, and the City's Marketing and
Communications Department created a new training video that highlights proper pollution prevention & municipal good
housekeeping practices for key City operations to eliminate pollutant exposure to the environment. A main topic in this video
pertains to best management practices for general municipal operations (e.g. proper refueling practices, spill response activities,
etc.). From November 2021 to March 2022, all wastewater operators, including all senior staff members of Muddy Creek WWTP,
viewed and passed a confirmation test of Stormwater's new PP & MGH and IDDE training video. This educational video will need to
be viewed by all City employees on an annual frequency for maximum memory retention.
In addition, Senior Operators trained their respective operators regarding site -specific best management practices during annual
CEU (Continuing Education Units) training sessions as well as continuous on-the-job 'shadowing' activities. Mr. Clark instructed that
Muddy Creek WWTP staff document all stormwater-related training on sign -in sheets that briefly describes the training agenda or
subject matter (in addition, to all operators' printed names, signatures, employee numbers, date, and time duration of training).

Inspection, Mr. Clark had a hard copy of the NCG11000 general stormwater permit requirements by comparing onsite conditions to
written SWPPP contents. Missing or deficient SWPPP components, when compared to permit requirements (e.g. update narrative
descriptions of industrial/operational activities, document all stormwater-related employee training, etc.), are denoted and listed
as Required Actions to be completed by the Facility, Part 5 of the attached inspection form. After the inspection, Mr. Clark captured
and synthesized all needed action items in Part 5 for Mr. Morrison's future reference.
Did the MS4 inspector appear knowledgeable about stormwater pollution prevention and good housekeeping?
Yes, Mr. Clark is very knowledgeable concerning best management practices for PP and MGH operations. Mr. Clark is extremely
thorough and seeks problematic areas of potential pollutant exposure to the open.environment. Mr. Clark examines
unloading/loading, waste disposal, product storage, outdoor processes, and dust or particulate generating sources to evaluate the
risk exposure to rainwater. If risk is identified, Mr. Clark provides written documentation for requiring corrective measures (aka
BMPs) to eliminate exposure to stormwater. During the May 16, 2022 Inspection, Mr. Clark has identified a total of approximately
30 required actions for implementation to minimize/eliminate pollutant exposure to rainwater (e.g, install a locking mechanism on
the diesel fuel AST secondary containment drain) as well as SWPPP compliance items.
Inspection Procedures
Does the MS4 inspector's process include the use of a checklist or other standardized form?
Yes, the Stormwater Division uses a hybrid municipal/industrial goodhousekeeping inspection form for evaluating private and

The photographs highlight sources of pollutant exposure, examples of deficient measures, etc, while reinforcing required actions
that Muddy Creek WWTP must implement to maintain site compliance.
Does the MS4 inspector's process include reviewing the facility's SWPPP (or similar document)?
Yes. As per Item #30, the City's Industrial Inspection SOP Manual, the Stormwater Inspector requests a current SWPPP from the
facility PRIOR to the site inspection. Mr. Clark had a SWPPP copy of Muddy Creek WWTP with him during the inspection as a
technical resource. Based on the information that Mr. Clark provided to Muddy creek WWTP staff (e.g. SDO locations, areas of
Industrial activities, etc.), it was obvious that he had reviewed Muddy Creek's SWPPP prior to the Inspection.
Does the MS4 inspector's process include walking the entire facility and inspecting all points of discharge?
Yes, Mr. Clark walked the entire facility area of Muddy Creek WWTP and inspected all ten stormwater discharge outfalls for any
obvious signs of pollutants — no obvious signs of pollutants were observed by Stormwater staff during the inspection.
Did the MS4 inspector miss any obvious areas of concern? If so, explain:
No, Mr. Clark did not miss any obvious areas of concern — his inspection was extremely thorough. If any area of concern (e.g, dark
staining on an access road) was observed by Mr. Clark, he would direct the inspection to this area and ask pertinent questions until
he was able to render an informative (and correct) decision.

Observations
Inspector Training/Knowledge
What type of stormwater training does the MS4 Inspector receive? How often?
Mr. Hole received in-house training from Mr. Clark regarding indicator parameters (e.g, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, total
dissolved solids, pH, surfactants, etc.). This training included parameter description, Its significance within streams, normal,
ambient background levels within each watershed, units of measurement, and recordation means for proper documentation. In
addition, Mr. Hole has been 'shadowing' Mr. Clark for the past eight months when Mr. Clark was performing dry weather outfall
Investigative activities. Since Mr. Hole was hired ten months ago, this comprehensive training was completed within his first year of
employment. Dry weather outfall screening is a permit -required activity that staff performs on an annual frequency; refresher
training will occur every year prior to screening work for Stormwater staff.
Mr. Clark is a stormwater veteran with approximately 12 years within the Division; he was worked and shadowed Mr. Allen for the
past three years. When Mr. Clark has questions or needs technical guidance, he asks Mr. Allen and incorporates the working
knowledge into his repertoire. As training opportunities become available, Mr. Clark participates and absorbs the technical
Information (e.g. Wow Wednesday seminars) to increase his professional knowledge.
Did the MS4 Inspector appear knowledgeable about illicit discharge Indicators and Investigations?
Yes, Mr. Hole and Mr. Clark are knowledgeable concerning illicit discharge Indicators and investigative techniques and procedures.
Mr. Hole knew all visual and sensory Indicators of potential pollutants — he properly observed that no noticeable pollutants were
present within the outfall discharge (except for the numerous pieces of trash). Mr. Hole properly diagnosed that the algal growth
was due to stagnated water from groundwater baseflow into the stormwater collection system (due to the extremely dry weather
conditions). Mr. Hole examined the collected ambient Instanteous multiparameter readings and knew that the concentrations are
representative of a normal urban stream background levels. Since HDR staff observed sewage odor, cloudy, gray -colored water
from this outfall on December 2, 2021, Mr. Hole collected water samples to be laboratory testing for ammonia, nitrates, and fecal
coliforms parameters to verify these pollutants were not within the water column. NOTE: Stormwater staff collected these
parameters on December 3, 2021— ammonia and nitrates were non -detectable and fecal coliforms were 5,200 cfu/100 mL. Mr.

Clark and Mr. Hole walked the immediate upland drainage area —they observed numerous 'dog lots', but no obvious signs of
wildlife (tracks, scat, etc.). When consulting the Stormwater Division's septic tank GIS layer on May 12th, Mr. Hole and Mr. Clark
confirmed that no septic tank systems are located within the subbasin.
Inspection Procedures
Does the inspector's process include the use of a checklist or other standardized form?
Yes, Stormwater staff completed an initial illicit discharge compliant form after inspecting OF_138 on December 3, 2021. This form
summarized field Investigative activities, work outcomes, and pertinent information (e.g. date, time, Inspector's name, weather
conditions, etc.) During this site visit evaluation, Mr. Clark completed a standardized, divisional field-testing form that records
analyzed multlparameter results, date, time, initials of analyst, dry weather conditions notation, and comments. A standardized
chain of custody was completed for submitting the water samples to the contracted NC certified laboratory by Mr. Hole. Once
received from the laboratory, the certified laboratory results will be cataloged In Stormwater's Dry Weather Screening folder, which
is located at: G:\Techn_Projects_Files\Dry Weather Screening\2021-2022\Devonshire and Nelson Street. All major stormwater
discharge outfalls, which may contain an illicit discharge, are documented in this manner.
Does the inspector's process include taking photos?
Yes, Mr. Hale took several photographs on his city -issued !Phone that documents the physical characteristics of the outfall water
quality. These pictures memorialize the Instanteous water conditions of the active flow from OF_138; staff can reference this
information as future investigations occur in order to isolate fecal collform sources within the drainage subbasin. Within one
working day, Mr. Hole downloaded the photographs and placed into the appropriate stormwater outfall folder.
Did the MS4 inspector miss any obvious potential illicit discharge Indicators or maintenance issues? If so, what were they?
No, Mr. Hole and Mr. Clark did not miss any obvious illicit discharge indicators. Both team members were very thorough in their
investigative processes.
Inspection Results
Did the outfall inspection result in any work orders or maintenance requests? If so, for what Issue(s)?
Yes. Based on fecal coliforms, ammonia, and nitrates certified laboratory data from the May 12th sampling event, Stormwater staff
believes that the elevated levels of fecal coliforms are from numerous dog lots within the upland drainage area. The Senior
Community Educator will distribute pet waste pamphlets (in English and Spanish) to all houses within the subbasin.
Will a follow-up outfall inspection be conducted? If so, for what reason?
Due the number and consist levels of analyzed fecal coliforms at Outfall 138 (and non-detectable/extremely low concentrations of
ammonia and nitrates), the Senior Community Educator will perform public outreach activities, within the subbasin, in hopes of
changing one's behavior and begin picking up after their pets.

Inspector Training/Knowledge
What type of stormwater training does the MS4 inspector receive? How often?
Mr. Hole received in-house training from Mr. Clark regarding indicator parameters (e.g, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, total
dissolved solids, pH, surfactants, etc.). This training included parameter description, its significance within streams, normal,
ambient background levels within each watershed, units of measurement, and recordation means for proper documentation. In
addition, Mr. Hole has been 'shadowing' Mr. Clark for the past eight months when Mr. Clark was performing dry weather outfall
Investigative activities. Since Mr. Hole was hired ten months ago, this comprehensive training was completed within his first year of
employment. Dry weather outfall screening is a permit -required activity that staff performs on an annual frequency; refresher
training will occur every year prior to screening work for Stormwater staff.
Mr. Clark is a stormwater veteran with approximately 12 years within the Stormwater Division; he was worked and shadowed Mr.
Allen for the past three years. When Mr. Clark has questions or needs technical guidance, he asks Mr. Allen and incorporates the
working knowledge into his repertoire. As training opportunities became available, Mr. Clark participates and absorbs the technical
information (e.g. Wow Wednesday seminars) to increase his professional knowledge.
Did the MS4 Inspector appear knowledgeable about illicit discharge indicators and investigations?
Yes, Mr. Hole and Mr. Clark are knowledgeable concerning illicit discharge indicators and investigative techniques and procedures.
Since the stormwater discharge outfall and receiving open channel was dry during the investigation, Mr. Hole and Mr. Clark
investigated the upgradient drainage area to confirm the lack of flow. Results of this investigation showed that the upstream
conveyances receive overland flow from Route 52 and a low -density single-family development— both channels experience flow
only during wet weather events.
