This SWMP identifies the specific elements and minimum measures that the Town of Kernersville 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 NCS000483, as issued by NCDEQ. This permit covers activities associated with the discharge of stormwater from the MS4 as owned and operated by the Town of Kernersville and located within the corporate limits of the Town of Kernersville. In preparing this SWMP, the Town of Kernersville 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.

Table 1: Summary of Current MS4 Mapping Percent of MS4 Area Mapped 95 % No. of Major Outfalls* Mapped 400 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 The Town of Kernersville MS4 is located within the Cape Fear,Roanoke,and Yadkin Pee Dee River Basins 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 Table 2: Summary of MS4 Receiving Waters Receiving Water 303(d)Listed Water Name Stream Index/AU Number Quality Parameter(s) Classification of Interest Cape Fear River Basin Reedy Fork From source to ETJ Benthos(Nar,AL, Creek [16-11-1(a)] WS-III,NSW FW)Fish Community (Nar,AL,FW) Beaver Creek From source to ETJ WS-III,NSW [16-11-2] West Fork Deep From source to ETJ Benthos (Nar,AL, River [17-3-(0.3)] WS-IV FW)Fish Community (Nar,AL,FW) NCS000483 Final SWMP Town of Kernersville December 22, 2021 Page 4 Receiving Water 303(d)Listed Water Name Stream Index/AU Number Quality Parameter(s) Classification of Interest Roanoke River Basin From source to a point 0.5 mile upstream Belews Creek of backwaters of Kernersville Lake [22- WS-IV 27-(1)] From a point 0.5 mile upstream of Belews Creek backwaters of Kernersville Lake to Town WS-IV-CA Limits/ETJ [22-27-(1.5),22-27-(2)] Right Fork From source to Town Limits/ETJ Belews Creek C [22-27-3] (Deans Creek) From source to Town Limits/ETJ [22-27- East Belews 8-(1)],From backwaters of Belews Lake B/C Creek (Forsyth County SR 2140)to Southern Railroad Bridge [22-27-8-(2)] Hartley Creek From source to Belews Creek [22-27-4] C Yadkin Pee Dee River Basin Kerners Mill From source to 0.1 mile downstream of WS-III Creek Bus. 1-40 [12-94-12-2-(0.3)] Smith Creek From source to Kerner Mill Creek [12- WS-III 94-12-2-1] Fishers Branch From source to Town Limits/ETJ [12-94- WS-III 12-2-2-(1)] Abbotts Creek From source to Town of Limits/ETJ [12- WS-III Fish Community(Nar, 119-(1)] AL,FW) 3.4 MS4 Interconnection The Town of Kernersville MS4 is interconnected with another regulated MS4 and directly receives and discharges stormwater from the NCDOT MS4. The number of interconnections entering the Kernersville MS4 from NCDOT MS4 is 30, as determined using the Town of Kernersville Stormwater GIS inventory, which includes direction of flow for all pipes. Each NCDOT road in Town limits (about 60 miles) was initially traced on paper maps to see where all stormwater discharges and the results were added to the Towns GIS inventory. The Stormwater Monitoring Technician will update the NCDOT/TOK Pipe Interconnection layer during routine infrastructure layer updates and when plans for new development are approved and digitized into the system. The Town does not inspect NCDOT outfalls. The Town of Kernersville borders the City of High Point and the City of Winston-Salem but does not share any structures or discharge past the Town limits and ETJ. NCS000483 Final SWMP Town of Kernersville December 22, 2021 Page 5 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. Table 3: Summary of Approved TMDLs TMDL Pollutant(s) of Stormwater Water Quality Water Body Name Concern Waste Load Recovery Allocation (Y/N) Program(Y/N) 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 may be 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.

The unpermitted non-stormwater flows listed as incidental do not significantly impact water quality. The Town of Kernersville 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 Town of Kernersville to determine whether they may significantly impact water quality.The Town 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 Town of Kernersville.

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 Kernersville has evaluated schools, homeowners and businesses as target audiences that are likely to have significant stormwater impacts.

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.

Pollution prevention and good housekeeping for municipal operations includes the following programs: 1. Municipal Facilities Operation and Maintenance(O&M)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.
