This SWMP identifies the specific elements and minimum measures that the Town of Canton 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 NCS000476, 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 Canton and located within the corporate limits of the Town of Canton. In preparing this SWMP, the Town of Canton 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.

The map below shows the corporate limits of Town of Canton as of the date of this document. r nurcamaa cu.pomeaa um%a L ci JJ �tid �� ti3ti3'`i' F � � .'� C:Nrory Coe�enreumrs Il, S o�mrKe .ry rvoz.n,x. ic, zozz 3.2 Existing MS4 Mapping The current MS4 mapping includes current mapping and inventory developed by town staff and consultants who have physically located most of the Town's system components. This mapping includes the location of all publicly owned stormwater piping. The map of the existing system will continue to be verified and finalized. The mapping will be updated as new facilities are installed using required submittals to the Planning Board and through regular inspections and maintenance. Table 1: Summary of Current MS4 Mapping Percent of MS4 Area Mapped 95 % No. of Major Outfalls* Mapped Unknown** total DRAFT NCS000476 SWMP Town of Canton December 5, 2022 Page 3 *An outfall is a point where the MS4 discharges from a pipe or other conveyance (e.g. a ditch) directly into surface waters. Major outfalls are required to be mapped to meet permit requirements. A major outfall is a 36-inch diameter pipe or discharge from a drainage area > 50-acres; and for industrial zoned areas a 12-inch diameter pipe or a drainage area > 2-acres. **Outfalls have been mapped but the classification of specific outfalls as major outfalls has not occurred, therefore, the number of major outfalls is unknown at this time (See BMP No. 14). 3.3 Receiving Waters The Town of Canton MS4 is located within the French Broad River Basin and discharges directly into receiving waters as listed in Table 2 below. The abbreviation "UT" in the following table stands for Unnamed Tributary. Applicable water quality standards listed below are compiled from the following NCDEQ sources: o Waterbody Classification Map o Impaired Waters and TMDL Map o Most recent NCDEQ Final 303 d List Table 2: Summary of MS4 Receiving Waters Receiving Water Name Stream Index / AU Number Water Quality Classification 303(d) Listed Parameter(s) of Interest Pigeon River 5-7 C Murray Branch 5-9 C UT of Pigeon River No DWQ index# C UT of Pigeon River No DWQ index# C Mingus Branch No DWQ index # C UT of Mingus Branch No DWQ index # C UT of Pigeon River No DWQ index # C UT of Pigeon River No DWQ index# C Hominy Creek 6-76 C UT of Hominy Creek No DWQ index # C UT of Hominy Creek No DWQ index # C Dutch Cove 6-76-1 C UT of Hominy Creek No DWQ index# C UT of Hominy Creek No DWQ index# C UT of Hominy Creek No DWQ index # C UT of Hominy Creek No DWQ index # C UT of Pigeon River No DWQ index# C UT of Beaverdam Creek No DWQ index# C Beaverdamn Creek 5-8 C UT of Beaverdam Creek No DWQ index # C UT of Pigeon River No DWQ index # C DRAFT NCS000476 SWMP Town of Canton December 5, 2022 Page 4 3.4 MS4 Interconnection The Town of Canton 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. Table 3: Summary of Approved TMDLs TMDL Pollutant(s) Stormwater Waste Load Water Quality Water Body of Concern Allocation Recovery Program Name (YIN) (YIN) Statewide Mercury N N The Statewide TMDL for Mercury does not require any actions by the NPDES stormwater permittees because most mercury in stormwater comes from atmospheric deposition. 3.6 Endangered and Threatened Species and Critical Habitat Significant populations of threatened or endangered species and/or critical habitat are identified within the regulated MS4 urbanized area. 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, the species listed in Table 4 have the potential to occur within the regulated MS4 urbanized area. Of those species listed, Table 4 summarizes the species that may be significantly impacted by the quality of surface waters within their habitat. Table 4: Potential Federally Listed Species/Habitat Impacted by Surface Water Quality Scientific Name Common name Species Group Federal Listing Status Microhexura montivaga Spruce -fir moss spider (arachnid) M. montivaga E Alasmidonta raveneliana Appalachian elktoe(river mussel) A. raveneliana E 3.7 Industrial Facility Discharges The Town of Canton MS4 jurisdictional area includes the following industrial facilities which hold NPDES Industrial Stormwater Permits, as determined from the NCDEQ Maps & Permit Data web page. DRAFT NCS000476 SWMP Town of Canton December 5, 2022 Page 5 Table 5: NPDES Stormwater Permitted Industrial Facilities Permit Number Facility Name NCS000105 Blue Ridge Paper Products INC (Evergreen Canton Mill Facility) 3.8 Non-Stormwater Discharges The water quality impacts of non-stormwater discharges have been evaluated by the Town of Canton as summarized in Table 6 below. The unpermitted non-stormwater flows listed as incidental do not significantly impact water quality. The Town of Canton 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. Street cleaning is performed with a dry street sweeping process so street washing discharges are not relevant to the MS4. The Division has not required that other non-stormwater flows be specifically controlled by the Town of Canton. 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 Canton to determine whether they may significantly impact water quality. They were determined to be a possible cause of water quality impacts and will be addressed through public education efforts (See BMP No. 5 & 7.)

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 Canton has evaluated schools, homeowners and businesses as target audiences that are likely to have significant stormwater impacts. Schools represent an important target audience as teaching students can provide opportunities for education and community involvement in the process. By beginning this education process early, positive change can occur. Homeowners and business are obvious target audiences because they represent likely sources for non -point pollution. This typically occurs because of a lack of education and recommended management practices.

The budget includes the permit administering and compliance fee, which is billed by the Division annually. The stormwater program currently receives funding of approximately $160,000 per year; this is funded primarily through general funds. This includes a separation of duties between both the Street & Sanitation Department as well as, Water & Sewer however, the Water and Sewer Superintendent position is funded through the Water and Sewer Enterprise fund. This $160,000 includes time spend and hours spent specifically to Stormwater needs and Street Sweeping based on BMP. The program is currently under- funded to conduct all the proactive elements of the permit as it relates to stormwater specific duties and needs. Further fiscal analysis and investigation of funding options (such as additional general fund allocation or a stormwater fee) will be conducted to fully fund the program by Permit year three. 4.3 Shared Responsibility The Town of Canton will share the responsibility to implement the following minimum control measures, which are at least as stringent as the corresponding NPDES MS4 Permit requirement. The Town of Canton 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 Canton 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.

DRAFT NCS000476 SWMP Town of Canton December 5, 2022 Page 26 PART 8: CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL PROGRAM In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0153, the Town of Canton 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.
