HomeMy WebLinkAboutNCS000000_SWMP Template_20210309SWMP TEMPLATE INSTRUCTIONS Additional guidance for using this Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) Template can be found on the DEQ stormwater web page at https://deq.nc.gov.sw under the NPDES MS4 Program Forms & Resources tab, in the MS4 Toolbox. It is strongly recommended that the posted instructional SWMP webinar be viewed prior to beginning development of the SWMP. An MS4-specific Annual Self-Assessment (ASA) Template will be developed based upon the approved Final SWMP. This ASA will be an Excel spreadsheet that lists each SWMP measurable goal and reporting metric for each reporting year. Please be aware that the responses must be brief and answers of Yes/No/Partial, a quantity, or a date are the preferred reporting metrics. There is a small character limited comment box to provide the status of each entry, but there is no option to attach documents to the ASA. The SWMP Template has instructions embedded in the document. They are always highlighted: Red italicized text with gray highlighting denotes an instruction or guidance that should be deleted from the document after completion. For example, [insert a map]. Plain highlighted text indicates an item that must be edited to provide the appropriate information, for example: has / has not would be replaced with either has or has not Document Date would be replaced with the date, written as February 6, 2019 or 02/06/2019 Permit Number NCS000xxx would be replaced with the NPDES MS4 permit number assigned by DEQ (e.g. NCS000300). The SWMP Template has standard text that should not be edited or deleted, including all listed permit conditions and some provided BMPs. The provided text works hand in hand with the 2021 Permit Template to define a compliant MS4 program. Number the BMPs in the tables consecutively, starting with BMP No. 1. Do not restart numbering in each BMP table. The consecutive numbering supports quick referencing of the individual table cells (e.g. BMP 1.B.1 or BMP 15.C.3). Add or delete rows to enter as many BMPs and Measurable Goals as are necessary to satisfy each permit requirement. Each BMP should answer three basic questions and the reporting metric should, ideally, represent what the MS4 will use to evaluate whether the BMP/Measurable Goal is successful/useful or not: What will be done? Describe the specific task(s) to be completed. When will it be completed? Include a frequency and applicable permit year(s). How will it be measured and reported to DEQ each year? See Item 2 above. Do not change “Draft” on the SWMP document until DEQ provides instructions in writing to change the title to Draft Final or Final. Helpful Hints: Search and replace “MS4name” with the name of the municipality (e.g. City of Smithville) throughout the document. Think through BMP commitments, timing and available vs. needed resources. Establish reasonable time frames to complete the program goals by the end of the 5-year permit term. The MS4 will be accountable for the commitments and timing provided. Identify components that need to be in place prior to BMP implementation and consider whether they should be included as interim tasks/steps towards compliance (e.g. developing tracking spreadsheets, staff training, etc.). The Division will specifically request additional information if needed to approve the Final SWMP. Clear and concise wording is strongly recommended. It is recommended that an MS4 not include extraneous information, because it becomes an enforceable component of the permit.

This SWMP identifies the specific elements and minimum measures that the MS4name 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 NCS000xxx, as issued by NCDEQ. This permit covers activities associated with the discharge of stormwater from the MS4 as owned and operated by the MS4name and located within the corporate limits of the MS4name. In preparing this SWMP, the MS4name 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.

In that case, enter “See Appendix A” in Table 5 below.] Table 5: NPDES Stormwater Permitted Industrial Facilities Permit Number Facility Name               Non-Stormwater Discharges The water quality impacts of non-stormwater discharges have been evaluated by the MS4name as summarized in Table 6 below. The unpermitted non-stormwater flows listed as incidental do not significantly impact water quality. The MS4name 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/has not required that other non-stormwater flows be specifically controlled by the MS4name. [insert brief narrative of any other Division-required non-stormwater flows to be addressed and where in the SWMP they are addressed.] 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 MS4name to determine whether they may significantly impact water quality. [insert brief narrative explanation of the determination. If determined to be significant, list as target pollutants/audiences and identify which parts of the SWMP contain measures to address them (e.g. Measures to address these target pollutants are provided in Parts xxx of this SWMP. If not evaluated yet, include BMPs to evaluate and incorporate into the SWMP in the Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination section of this SWMP.] Table 6: Non-Stormwater Discharges Non-Stormwater Discharge Water Quality Impacts  Water line and fire hydrant flushing Incidental  Landscape irrigation Incidental  Diverted stream flows Incidental  Rising groundwater Incidental  Uncontaminated groundwater infiltration Incidental  Uncontaminated pumped groundwater Incidental  Uncontaminated potable water sources Incidental  Foundation drains Incidental  Air conditioning condensate Incidental  Irrigation waters Incidental  Springs Incidental  Water from crawl space pumps Incidental   Footing drains Incidental  Lawn watering Incidental  Residential and charity car washing Possible  Flows from riparian habitats and wetlands Incidental  Dechlorinated swimming pool discharges Incidental  Street wash water Possible  Flows from firefighting activities Incidental   Target Pollutants and Sources In addition to those target pollutants identified above, the MS4name is/is not aware of other significant water quality issues within the permitted MS4 area. These include [briefly explain issue/pollutant, likely source and how the MS4 became aware. This might be something like: Based upon multiple citizen complaint investigations, the MS4name has identified littering from abc school students traversing the xyz greenway to be an ongoing issue, or Based upon the city’s Muddy Creek and Trashed Creek Watershed Master Plans, sediment and litter have been identified as pollutants of concern. Sediment is attributed to the rapid development and construction occurring in the Muddy Creek watershed. Litter is a general issue associated with both commercial and 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, the MS4name has evaluated schools, homeowners and businesses as target audiences that are likely to have significant stormwater impacts.

PART 8: CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL PROGRAM In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0153, the MS4name 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.
