PART 1: INTRODUCTION
i
The purpose of this Stormwater Management Plan(SWMP)is to establish and define the means by which
the City of Elizabeth City 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 Elizabeth City 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 NCS000563, 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 Elizabeth City and
located within the corporate limits of the City of Elizabeth City.
I
In preparing this SWMP, Elizabeth City 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.

interconnections is unknown at this point.
b. The interconnection is discharging stormwater into the NCDOT MS4. The number of
interconnections is unknown at this point.

Page 6
significantly impact water quality. The City of Elizabeth City 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 detergents have been evaluated by the City of Elizabeth City to determine whether they may
significantly impact water quality.

PART 8: CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL PROGRAM
In accordance with 15A NCAC 021-1 .0153,the City of Elizabeth City 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 storm water runoff from construction activities that i
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
stormwater 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 Elizabeth City 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 Elizabeth City 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 Elizabeth City municipal facilities and operations. Pollution prevention and good housekeeping is
accomplished through 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
municipal storm sewer system maintenance.
i
Pollution prevention and good housekeeping for municipal operations includes the following programs: j
1. Municipal Facilities Operation and Maintenance Program
2. Spill Response Program l
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 Elizabeth City will manage, implement and report the pollution prevention and good
housekeeping BMPs as specified in Table 21 below for each required program.
