Return this completed form along with the required supplemental information to: DEQ-DEMLR Stormwater Program Attn: MS4 Permitting 1612 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1612 Page 2 of 2 ANNUAL NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM PERMIT NCS00434 REPORT-2021 (Revised July 27, 2016) Currently, the City of Archdale is located in both Randolph County and Guilford County. The current area and population in Randolph County is 11,802 and 7.80 square miles; Guilford County is 366 and 1.00 square miles. [Total is 12,168 and 8.80 square miles] SECTION A: PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION The City of Archdale currently maintains adequate funding and staffing of the individual components of the ACE Integrated Stormwater Management Plan authorized by the City Council of Archdale during it's regular session on December 18, 2007 upon the recommendations of the then newly established Stormwater Advisory Board - which also acts as a specific conduit for citizen interaction, participation, and involvement - and the current Stormwater Water Program Manager establishing initial authority from the Clean Water Act of 1972. As part of the program, Mr. D. J. Seneres, PE, PWLF is currently adapting modifications mandated by the State Representative, Ms. Jeanette Powell, upcoming changes related to a long time goal of spreadsheet column generated reporting in a standardized template originating from a Local Government Information Model (LGIM) currently unavailable due to technical issues. This stop -gap analysis involves discussing each of the permit requirements establishing compliance has been met for the year. Each year additional concepts are modified to enhance the already existing program. No modifications of the initial 30-year conceptual ACE Integrated Stormwater Management Plan has occurred since the inception of the program but modifications to presentation Current letters approved by the City Attorney for violations indicate that the maximum fine may be up to $51,575. Of course, the biggest challenge continues to be the integration of software and resolving incompatibility issues between sources. SECTION B: PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREACH Through partnerships with the Piedmont Triad Water Quality Partnership, Stormwater Smart Program, City of Archdale Creekside Park, and local schools, public education and outreach continue to be ever present and typically addresses a minimum of four categories. Recognizing the most prolific pollutant in the city is sediment transport, the sediment and erosion control program is an integral part of the stormwater management. Information concerning the program is provided on the dedicated section of the website but the most significant part of the dissemination of information comes from one on one discussions with the citizens of Archdale. The Stormwater Program Manager spends considerable time one on one describing introductions of pollutants into our water system as violations of the Clean Water Act of 1972 and the consequenses of knowingly violating the Environmental Protection Agency guidance. Since inception, 985 permits have been issued with an estimated total of 466.15 acres disturbed (an average of 0.47 acres per site). SECTION C: PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT AND PARTICIPATION The Stormwater Advisory Board which meets a minimum of four times a year with the ability to call special meetings continues to address changes associated with the Environmental Protection Agency guidance and the State of North Carolina guidance. The Bush Hill Heritage Festival acted as our largest gathering each year to provide information. With a minimum reported interaction of 11,585 people, we estimate that we annually reinforce the importance of the ACE Integrated Stormwater Management Plan to approximately 95.70 percent of our population. Flyers are available all year round in the main lobby of City Hall, the Stormwater Program Managers' office, and other locations as the opportunity presents itself. The Stormwater Program Manager maintains his personal cell phone as a Hotline for citizens in addition to the Customer Service number. Because the City of Archdale is a relatively small municipality, all activities related to environmental stewardship can always be associated with an overall improvement of the system. Over the years, through education and outreach, citizens call in when they notice inconsistencies in conflict with the ACE Integrated Stormwater Management Plan and the overall charge of the Clean Water Act of 1972. SECTION D: ILLICIT DISCHARGE DETECTION AND ELIMINATION (IDDE) Our best quantitative measure to date is no recorded repeat calls associated with the same act and our most reported IDDE offense is concentrated flow from downspout gutters directed perpendicular to a lot line. Since inception, we take advantage of dry weather during daily rounds to identify sources of flow as well as reports from citizens. The City of Archdale continues to foster good communication between upper management as related to the pollution prevention and environmental stewardship. SECTION E: CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROLS With the rollout of the new website portal on June 28, 2020, contractor training has begun and is being utilized for Sections A — G. SECTION F: POST -CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROLS As indicated earlier in the report, the delegation of the Sediment and Erosion Control is an integral part of our ACE Integrated Stormwater Management Plan. The clear advantage we have is that sites are seen a minimum of five days a week during daily rounds. A current map of the 31 Stormwater Control Measures in the city shows an even distribution along the main corridor of U. S. 311 South — North and South Main Street in Archdale, North Carolina. Based on this current assessment 223.48 acres or 4.03°0 of the jurisdictional area are designated as SCM's. SECTION G: POLLUTION PREVENTION AND GOOD HOUSEKEEPING FOR MUNICIPAL OPERATIONS Public Works Department coordinate regularly with the Stormwater Program Manager. However, typical sources of pollutants that exists for most municipalities do not exist for Archdale. We do not have a Vehicle Fleet Maintenance Facility, Transfer Station, Waste Treatment Facility, or Water Treatment Facility. These types of facilities are outsourced through contracts. We do however, educate personnel on through Human Resources on Personal Protection Equipment and MSDS Uses of Chemicals and storage on site when applicable. SECTION H: TOTAL MAXIMUM DAILY LOADS (TMDLs) No current TMDL exist currently. Currently, there are no waterways in the corporate city limits on the impaired waters list. As indicated above, Third Party inspections is a strategy designed to to expand the efficiency of the program SECTION I: ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF REPORTS [G.S. 143-215.1] Templates continue to be modified for reporting as guidelines continue to change.in accordance with Section A through Section I of our current permit. All raw data is contained on the servers of the City of Archdale as maintained by the Information Technology Manager. Archdale — UNITY • LOYALTY • PROGRESS — 307 BALFOUR DRIVE P.O. BOX 14068 ARCHDALE, NORTH CAROLINA 27263 PHONE: (336) 431-9141 FAX: (336) 431-2131 3/23/2021 To Whom It May Concern: In 2007, the Archdale City Council chose to create a full-time Stormwater Manager position to meet MS4 requirements. David Joseph Seneres was hired in June 2007 to develop and oversee the requirements of the new Stormwater program. He has been in that role ever since, spanning multiple permit cycles. In January 2008, the City Council adopted the model stormwater ordinance, and it became a part of the City's Code of Ordinances. At this time, the City is revising and creating an updated Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) as part of the effort to get a new permit approved. Mr. Seneres is the appropriate City representative to prepare a DEQ approved SWMP, with guidance from elected officials and City leadership. Please feel free to reach out to me directly should you have further questions.
