PART 1: INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Stormwater Management Plan(SWMP)is to establish and define how the Town of
Nashville 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 Town of Nashville 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 NCS000485, as issued by NCDEQ. This permit covers activities associated with the
discharge of stormwater from the MS4 as owned and operated by the T wn of Nashville and located
within the corporate limits of the Town of Nashville.
In preparing this SWMP,the Town of Nashville 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 ontains
continue to adequately provide for permit com Nance and the community's needs.
Once the SWMP is approved by NCDEQ, 11 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 pe

No. of Major Outfalls* Mapped 0 total
*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.
3.3 Receiving Waters A#
The Town of Nashville MS4 is located within the Tar-Pamlico River Basin and discharges directly into
receiving waters as listed in Table 2 below. Applicable ity standards listed below are compiled
from the following NCDEQ sources:

3.8 Non- tormwater Discharges
The water quality impacts of non-stormwater discharges have been evaluated by the Town of Nashville as
summarized in Table 6 below. The unpermitted non-stormwater flows listed as incidental do not
significantly impact water quality.
Street washing discharges area dressed under the Pavement Management Program in Part 10 of this
SWMP. Street cleaning is performed with a vacuum street sweeping process that removes excess
debris/sediment/solids and reduces pollutants associated with street washing. The Division has not
required that other non-stormwater flows be specifically controlled by the Town of Nashville.
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 Nashville to determine whether they may
significantly impact water quality.

Dechlorinated swimming pool discharges are considered possible non-stormwater discharges. Therefore,
the Town utilizes Public Education and Outreach BMPs 5-8 to educate businesses and residents about
these potential water quality impacts.
Debris collected in the town's street sweeper are disposed of as municipal solid waste at the City of
Rocky Mount transfer station. Street washing discharges are addressed under BMP 38 as part of the
Pavement Management Program in Part 10 of this SWMP.

3.9 Target Pol u ants and Sources
In addition to those target pollutants identified above,the Town of Nashville is aware of other significant
water quality issues within the permitted MS4 area. These are included in table 7 below.
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 Nashville has evaluated schools,
homeowners and businesses as target audiences that are likely to have significant stormwater impacts.
Target pollutants include excess nutrients and fecal coliform from pet waste,lawn and garden fertilizers,
and septic system leakage.
