REVISION LOG

City of Greensboro Stormwater Management Plan (Draft)
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this proposed "Draft" Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) for the upcoming permit
cycle, 2023-2028, is to establish and define the means by which the City of Greensboro 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 "Draft" SWMP identifies minimum measures that the City of Greensboro will develop, implement,
enforce, evaluate, and report to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ)
Division of Energy, Minerals and Land Resources (DEMLR) to comply with the MS4 Permit number
NCS000248. Since the "proposed" permit covering years 2023-2028 has not been drafted nor reviewed
yet, this "Draft" SWMP covers currently known activities associated with the discharge of stormwater from
the MS4 as owned and operated by the City of Greensboro and located within the corporate limits of the
City of Greensboro.
In preparing this "Draft" SWMP, the City of Greensboro evaluated its MS4 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 once the new permit has been issued to ensure that the elements and minimum measures it
contains continue to meet the community's needs and adequately provide for permit compliance. Any
major changes to the approved SWMP will require resubmittal, review, and approval by NCDEQ.

3.0 MS4 INFORMATION
The City of Greensboro's initial NPDES MS4 Discharge Permit (Permit Number NCS000248) became
effective on December 30, 1994. NCDEQ issued the City of Greensboro's current permit on October 10,
2018, for a period of five years with an effective expiration date of October 9, 2023.
The City's NPDES stormwater permit, and associated SWMP, are designed to control the discharge of
pollutants from the MS4 to the Maximum Extent Practicable (MEP).
3.1 Permitted MS4 Area
This SWMP applies throughout the corporate limits of the City of Greensboro, including all regulated
activities associated with the discharge of stormwater from the MS4. The map below shows the corporate
limits of the City of Greensboro (green polygon).

3.2 Existing MS4 Mapping
The City of Greensboro's current MS4 mapping includes NPDES MS4 major outfalls* as well as additional
pertinent MS4 assets including manholes, pipe inlets/outlets, open conveyance channels, culverts, storm
inlets, spillways, and pipes, as well as flow connectivity and waterbodies. A numerical summary of the
City's mapped stormwater assets is provided below, and an accompanying map is provided in Figure 2.

*The City's NPDES MS4 permit defines a "major MS4 outfall" as a municipal separate storm sewer outfall
that discharges from a single pipe with an inside diameter of 36 inches or more or its equivalent
(discharge from a single conveyance other than circular pipe which is associated with a drainage area of
more than 50 acres); or for municipal separate storm sewers that receive stormwater from lands zoned for
industrial activity (based on comprehensive zoning plans or the equivalent), an outfall that discharges
from a single pipe with an inside diameter of 12 inches or more or from its equivalent (discharge from
other than a circular pipe associated with a drainage area of 2 acres or more).

3.3 Receiving Waters
Greensboro is located near the headwaters of the Cape Fear River Basin in the Piedmont physiographic
region of North Carolina, with a majority of the City's jurisdictional watersheds draining eastward toward
the Haw River, while a smaller portion of the City area drains south toward the Deep River. The North and
South Buffalo Creek Watersheds drain the majority of the City's central urbanized area eastward toward
Buffalo Creek. Beyond the eastern City limits, Buffalo Creek drains generally northeastward into the
Reedy Fork Creek and the Haw River, a tributary of the Jordan Lake watershed. The City of Greensboro,
with a total area of about 132 square miles, represents just over 1 % of the 9,322 square mile Cape Fear
River Basin.
Table 2 summarizes primary MS4 receiving waters within the City's jurisdictional area. The following
NCDEQ sources were referenced to verify applicable water quality classifications and water quality
parameters of interest:
• Waterbody Classification Map
• Most recent NCDEQ Final 303(d) List

City of Greensboro Stormwater Management Plan (Draft)
3.4 MS4 Interconnection
The City of Greensboro MS4 is not interconnected with another regulated MS4 and directly discharges to
the receiving waters as listed in Table 2 above.
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. Best management practices (BMPs) for addressing MS4
permit requirements as they pertain to TMDLs are described in Part 13 of this SWMP.
Table 3: Summary of Approved TMDL(s)
North Buffalo Creek Fecal Coliform Y Y
3.6 Endangered and Threatened Species and Critical Habitat
Significant populations of threatened or endangered species and/or critical habitat are not identified within
the City of Greensboro regulated MS4 urbanized area. This determination was made based upon a
review of the Endangered and Threatened Species and Species of Concern by County for North Carolina
Map and Listed species believe to or known to occur in North Carolina map as provided by the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service.
3.7 Industrial Facility Discharges
The City of Greensboro jurisdictional area includes multiple industrial facilities that hold NPDES Industrial
Stormwater Permits as determined from the NCDEQ Maps & Permit Data web page. The list of permitted
industrial facilities within the City of Greensboro is updated annually as required by Part II Section H.2(a).
The City will provide program results in the City's annual reporting, as documented in Part 10 of the
SWMP.
3.8 Non-Stormwater Discharges
The water quality impacts of non-stormwater discharges have been evaluated by the City of Greensboro
as summarized in Table 4 below. The City's Stormwater Management Ordinance prohibits the discharge
of any non-stormwater flow to any stormwater conveyance with the exception of those discharges listed in
Table 4.
The City of Greensboro has evaluated residential and charity car washing and street washing for possible
significant water quality impacts. Street washing discharges are addressed under the Pavement
12

City of Greensboro Stormwater Management Plan (Draft)
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 Greensboro. Washwater 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 City of Greensboro to determine whether they may significantly impact water quality. These
discharges are primarily addressed by the City through the Public Education and Outreach program and
the Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination program as addressed in Parts 5 and 7 of this SWMP.

The Stormwater Management Division has identified common water quality pollutants and potential
sources and activities contributing to these pollutants. Target audiences have been identified allowing for
proactive measures to be implemented. Table 5 summarizes this information, including the associated
SWMP programs that address each pollutant. Target pollutants are addressed throughout the permit term
in accordance with the goals and schedule described within this SWMP for each respective program
area.

4.0 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION
4.1 Legal Authority
The required legal authorities for Greensboro's NPDES municipal stormwater program were developed
and adopted during the first permit period in a new ordinance to the Greensboro Land Development
Ordinance: Chapter 30 (City of Greensboro Stormwater Management Ordinance). The Stormwater
Management Ordinance became effective on July 1, 1994. The Chapter 30 ordinance includes the
following objectives:
• To provide for the establishment and enforcement of the City's Stormwater Management
Program;
• To reduce the discharge of pollutants to the storm sewer system to the maximum extent
practicable by requiring, where appropriate, the use of best management practices, structural
and/or nonstructural stormwater quantity and quality control measures and other provisions;
• To provide for the inspection and proper maintenance of structural and nonstructural stormwater
controls and the municipal separate storm sewer;
• To prohibit non-stormwater discharges to the City storm sewer and require the removal of illicit
connections to the City storm sewer;
• To prevent improper disposal of materials that degrade water quality;
• To permit sampling and monitoring for pollutants such as those associated with illicit discharges,
improper disposal, industrial and construction activities, and the application of pesticides,
herbicides, and fertilizers; and,
• To reduce erosion associated with stormwater runoff; and
• To provide legal definitions for user fee rate calculations.
To date, no significant changes have been required or considered for the City's legal authority related to
NPDES stormwater program implementation. Stormwater Management, working with City Management,
Council, and Stakeholders, has incorporated runoff quantity control and citywide stream buffer
requirements into the Code of Ordinance in recent years, but these have not been specific NPDES MS4
discharge permit requirements. Many of these additional requirements along with historic stormwater
related regulations are located throughout the Code of Ordinance with a large portion appearing in
Chapter 30 which serves as the City's Unified Development Ordinance. Additional ordinance language
specific to the Phase II rules, specifically with regard to post -construction runoff, was adopted by City
Council on April 7, 2009, and became effective June 1, 2009.
4.2 Organizational Structure
The City of Greensboro's Stormwater Management utility is one of seven divisions of the City's Water
Resources Department (which includes water supply, water reclamation, customer service, business,
engineering, and operations and maintenance). This organizational arrangement facilitates protecting and
improving surface water quality while best managing local water resources.
Although the Stormwater Management Division resides within the Water Resources Department, the
program itself is much broader and encompasses and/or extends well beyond the boundaries of the
Water Resources Department. Several other departments in the City of Greensboro, as well as those in
Guilford County, contribute to stormwater quality management and NPDES-related programs in
15

City of Greensboro Stormwater Management Plan (Draft)
4.3 Program Funding and Budget
In accordance with the issued permit, the City of Greensboro shall maintain adequate funding and staffing
to implement and manage the provisions of the SWMP and comply with the requirements of the NPDES
MS4 Permit. The budget includes the permit administering and compliance fee, which is billed by the
Division annually.
The City established a stormwater utility funding mechanism partially in response to the initial and
ongoing requirements of the NPDES municipal stormwater permit, but also to help ensure a dedicated
funding source for stormwater-related programs and activities and to manage municipal stormwater
issues in a more proactive and comprehensive manner. As impervious area is generally in direct
correlation with the volume and quality of surface stormwater runoff, establishing the stormwater billing
system based on total impervious area is equitable to all of the City's utility customers. As of January 1,
2004, single-family residences are charged one of three tiers with an average rate of $2.70 per month.
Non -single-family properties are billed based upon the number of equivalent residential units (ERUs),
which is computed by dividing the total impervious area by the size of the ERU (2,543 square feet), on the
given property.
Additionally, as a financial incentive for nonstructural and structural best management practice
implementation at non -single-family residential sites throughout the City, Greensboro provides a fee
crediting mechanism within the stormwater utility. The City also provides technical support and
educational assistance for innovative stormwater practices.
The stormwater utility is a dedicated balanced enterprise fund with budgeted revenues and expenditures
of just over fourteen million dollars in the coming fiscal year. This budget represents a slightly higher than
normal budget due to an extra investment in capital projects this fiscal year. The chart illustrates the
allocation of Stormwater Utility funds by operational category.

8.0 CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROLS
The City of Greensboro's MS4 permit requirements pertaining to Construction Site Runoff Controls are
managed through the City's locally delegated Erosion and Sediment Control (E&SC) Program. The E&SC
program meets the standard for Construction Site Runoff Controls through permitting and controlling
development activities as authorized under the Sediment Pollution Control Act (SPCA) of 1973 and
Chapter 4 of Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code. 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 City of Greensboro implements the following BMPs to meet NPDES MS4 Permit requirements for
Construction Site Runoff Controls.
Table 12: Construction Site Runoff Control BMPs
Permit II.E.2.a: "The permittee has a delegated or authorized Sediment and Erosion Control

compliance with the Sediment Pollution Control Act of 1973 and Chapter 4 of Title 15A of the
North Carolina Administrative Code. The delegated or authorized Sediment and Erosion
Control Program effectively meets the MEP standard for Construction Site Runoff Controls by
permitting and controlling development activities disturbing one or more acres of land surface
and those activities less than one acre that are part of a larger common plan of development
as authorized under the Sediment Pollution Control Act of 1973 and Chapter 4 of Title 15A of

10.0 POLLUTION PREVENTION AND GOOD HOUSEKEEPING FOR
MUNICIPAL OPERATIONS
This SWMP provides a comprehensive pollution prevention and good housekeeping strategy for the City
of Greensboro's municipal facilities and operations. Pollution prevention and good housekeeping is
accomplished through the implementation of programs that address the ultimate goal of preventing or
reducing pollutant runoff from municipal operations, such as parks and open space maintenance, fleet
and building maintenance, new construction and land disturbances, and municipal storm sewer system
maintenance.
This is achieved through the application of a suite of BMPs described below and managed in cooperation
with multiple City departments and facilities which may include, but is not limited to, the following:
• Coliseum
• Engineering and Inspections
• Field Operations
• Finance (Equipment Services)
• Fire
• Parks and Recreation
• Police
• Transportation
• Water Resources
