PART 1: INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Stonnwater Management Plan(SWMP)is to establish and define the means by which
the City of Trinity 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 SWMP identifies the specific elements and minimum measures that the City of Trinity 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 NCS000502, as issued by NCDEQ. This permit covers activities associated with the
discharge of stormwater from the MS4 as owned and operated by the City of Trinity and located within the
corporate limits of the City of Trinity.
In preparing this SWMP,the City of Trinity 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.

*Art outfall is a point where the MS4 discharges front a pipe or other conveyance(e.g. a ditch)directly into
swyf ee waters. Major outfalls are required to he napped to meet per-init requirements. A major outfall is
a 36-inch diameter pipe or discharge frron a drainage area > 50-acres; and for industrial zoned areas a
12-inch diameter pipe or a drainage area>2-acres.
The City is in the process of updating its MS4 map,with an illicit discharge BMP to address the data gaps.
3.3 Receiving Waters
The City of Trinity MS4 is located within the Yadkin Pee Dee River Basin and discharges directly into
receiving waters as listed in Table 2 below.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

3.4 MS4 Interconnection
The MS4 does interconnect with the statewide NCDOT MS4 and includes:
a. The interconnection is receiving stormwater from the NCDOT MS4. The number of
interconnections is unknown.
b. The interconnection is discharging stormwater into the NCDOT MS4. The number of
interconnections is unknown.
c. The City of Trinity MS4 mapping does not identify interconnections with the NCDOT MS4.
d. The City of Trinity MS4 mapping does not include NCDOT MS4 outfalls.
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.

Statewide Mercury N N
No TMDLs have been approved within the MS4 area. The Statewide TMDL for mercury does not require
any actions by the NPDES stormwater permittee 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 believed to be known 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.

3.8 Non-Stormwater Discharges
The water quality impacts of non-stormwater discharges have been evaluated by the City of Trinity as
summarized in Table 6 below. The unpermitted non-stormwater flows listed as incidental do not
significantly impact water quality. The City of Trinity has evaluated residential and charity car washing
and street washing for possible significant water quality impacts.
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
NCS000502 Final SWMP
City of Trinity
October 30,2023
Page 6
detergents have been evaluated by the City of Trinity to determine whether they may significantly impact
water quality. The City utilizes Public Education and Outreach and Pollution Prevention and Good
Housekeeping BMPs to educate residents and municipal staff on the possible effects of detergents entering
the surface waters.
Street washing discharges are addressed under the Pavement 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 Trinity.

PART 8: CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL PROGRAM
In accordance with 15A NCAC 021-1.0153,the City of Trinity 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.

PART 9: POST-CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL PROGRAM
This SWMP identifies the minimum elements to develop, implement and enforce a program to address
stortmwater runoff from new development and redevelopment projects that disturb greater than or equal to
one acre,including projects less than one acre that are part of a larger common plan of development or sale,
that are located within the City of Trinity and discharge into the MS4. These elements are designed to
minimize water quality impacts utilizing a combination of structural Stormwater Control Measures(SCMs)
and/or non-structural BMPs appropriate for the community and ensure adequate long-term operation and
maintenance of SCMs.
In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0153 and.1017,the City of Trinity implements the following State
post-construction program requirements, which satisfy the NPDES Phase II MS4 post-construction site
runoff control requirements as Qualifying Alternative Programs(QAPs)in the MS4 area(s)where they are
implemented.

PART 10:POLLUTION PREVENTION AND GOOD HOUSEKEEPING PROGRAMS
This SWMP provides a comprehensive pollution prevention and good housekeeping strategy for the City
of Trinity municipal facilities and operations. Pollution prevention and good housekeeping (PPGH) is
accomplished though the implementation of seven required programs, which collectively 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 nnmicipal
storm sewer system maintenance.
Pollution prevention and good housekeeping for municipal operations includes the following programs:
1. Municipal Facilities Operation and Maintenance Program
2. Spill Response Program
3. MS4 Operation and Maintenance Program
4. Municipal SCM Operation and Maintenance Program
5. Pesticide, Herbicide and Fertilizer Management Program
6. Vehicle and Equipment Maintenance Program
7. Pavement Management Program
The City of Trinity will manage, implement and report the pollution prevention and good housekeeping
BMPs as specified in Table 21 below for each required program.
