This SWMP identifies the specific elements and minimum measures that the Town of Garner 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 NCS000420, as issued by NCDEQ. This permit covers activities associated with the discharge of stonnwater from the MS4 as owned and operated by the Town of Garner and located within the corporate limits of the Town of Garner. In preparing this SWMP,the Town of Garner 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.

NCS000420 SWMP Town of Garner April 14, 2023 PART 3: MS4 INFORMATION 3.1 Permitted MS4 Area This SWMP applies throughout the corporate limits of the Town of Garner, including all regulated activities associated with the discharge of stormwater from the MS4. The map below shows the corporate limits of Town of Garner as of the date of this document. 2021 POWELL BILL MAP Garner, North Carolina N a 3.2 Existing MS4 Mapping The current MS4 mapping system consists primarily of reinforced concrete pipe with some corrugated metal pipe used in mainly residential and commercial areas. Most of the storm water enters the system through catch basins and some yard inlets. All SCMs that are owned by private developments or HOAs as well as publicly by the Town of Garner are also mapped within the Town of Garner GIS system, but not represented on the above map. Maps of the stormwater collection system are updated on a routine basis as the Town receives as-builts of completed development projects. NCS000420 SWMP Town of Garner April 14,2023 Table 1: Summary of Current MS4 Mapping Percent of MS4 Area Mapped 95 % No. of Major Outfalls* Mapped —165 total *An out/all 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. The storm sewer system map was developed with initial criteria and every year starting in 2003, approximately 95% of the system has been mapped with additional information. The map is in digital form and paper maps can be created upon request. Discrepancies that were found by field verification were noted and changed accordingly. The storm sewer system is updated as the town receives as-built drawings, and any field discrepancies are changed accordingly as they are noted. The maps can be accessed through the Engineering Department of the Town. The number of major outfalls maps changes each year as we update our mapping to include new infrastructure. The number of major outfalls mapped above represents the current number of outfalls that are checked through high priority dry weather screenings. These numbers are updated within high priority areas when screened as new infrastructure has been added. NCS000420 SWMP Town of Garner April 14,2023 3.3 Receiving Waters The Town of Garner MS4 is located within the Neuse River Basin and discharges directly into receiving waters as listed in Table 2 below.

Within 12 months of the final approval of a TMDL,the Town annual reports shall include a description of existing programs, controls, partnerships, projects and strategies to address impaired waters and a brief explanation as to how the programs, controls, partnerships, projects and strategies address impaired waters. In the event of an adopted TMDL, a Water Quality Recovery Program will be adopted to address reduction of the pollutant levels of concern in accordance with an approved Waste Load Allocation (WLA)assigned to the Town. NCS000420 SWMP Town of Garner April 14, 2023 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 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 N/A 3.7 Industrial Facility Discharges The Town of Garner MS4 jurisdictional area includes the following industrial facilities which hold NPDES Industrial Stormwater Permits, as determined from the NCDEQ Maps & Permit Data web page. Currently there is only one municipal facility owned by the Town of Garner that holds an additional MS4 NPDES Industrial Permit to release stonnwater, the Wade H Vester Public Works Center. Municipal employees are trained annually on pollution prevention and good housekeeping, general stonnwater information, stormwater control measure maintenance and illicit discharges. The municipal facility has an annual inspection for the vehicle maintenance shop, fueling station and grounds and the outfall on site that drains the fueling area is inspected twice a year for any stor►nwater pollution discharges.

The unpermitted non-stonnwater flows listed as incidental do not significantly impact water quality. The Town of Garner 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 not required that other non-stonnwater flows be specifically controlled by the Town of Garner. 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 Garner to determine whether they may significantly impact water quality. Any commercial car wash or detergents that are draining to the storm drain system receive a notice of violation(NOV)until they connect their wash water to sanitary sewer or an oil/water separator. 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 S rings Incidental Water from crawls ace 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 NCS000420 SWMP Town of Garner April 14,2023 3.9 Target Pollutants and Sources In addition to those target pollutants identified above,the Town of Garner is aware of other significant water quality issues within the permitted MS4 area. These include fertilizer and application of lawn care products, general stormwater, disposal of household chemicals and used oil, car washing, pet waste and litter. Some of these topics are currently targeted by our regional partnership with the Clean Water Education Partnership and other items are tackled through the Town of Garner Engineering Department based on citizen complaints as well as field observations. Litter, pet waste, fats and oils have been the most recent focus as well as educating restaurant owners regarding illicit discharges. 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 Garner has evaluated schools, homeowners and businesses as target audiences that are likely to have significant stormwater impacts.

NCS000420 SWMP Town of Garner April 14, 2023 PART 8: CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL PROGRAM In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0153, the Town of Garner 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 storinwater 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.
