PART 1: INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Stormwater Management Plan(SWMP) is to establish and define the means by which
the City of Monroe 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 Monroe 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 NCS000482, 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 Monroe and located within
the corporate limits of the City of Monroe.
In preparing this SWMP,the City of Monroe 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.

3.2 Existing MS4 Mapping
The current MS4 mapping includes data on the municipal storm sewer system including stormwater
structures,BMPS,conveyances with flow direction,major outfalls and waters of the United States receiving
stormwater discharges. Data collection includes size, depth, material, condition, etc., where applicable.
Data is updated continuously in the field and synced daily.
Currently,there is no public link to the City's data.

Percent of MS4 Area Mapped 95 %
No. of Major Outfalls* Mapped 101 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 City of Monroe MS4 is located within the Yadkin River Basin and the Catawba River Basin. The MS4
discharges directly into receiving waters as listed in Table 2 below. Applicable water quality standards

3.8 Non-Stormwater Discharges
The water quality impacts of non-stormwater discharges have been evaluated by the City of Monroe as
summarized in Table 6 below. The unpermitted non-stormwater flows listed as incidental do not
significantly impact water quality. The City of Monroe 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 Monroe and determined to possibly impact water quality.
The City utilizes Public Education and Outreach as well as Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping
BMPs to educate residents and municipal staff on the possible effects of detergents entering the surface
water.
Street cleaning procedures were reviewed by the City of Monroe and it was determined that street wash
water is not applicable to the MS4. Street cleaning is performed with sweeping trucks which is 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
Monroe.

3.9 Target Pollutants and Sources
In addition to those target pollutants identified above,the City of Monroe is aware of other significant water
quality issues within the permitted MS4 area. These include oils, sediments, fertilizers/pesticides, yard
waste,pet waste and litter throughout the system.
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 City of Monroe has evaluated schools, homeowners and
businesses as target audiences that are likely to have significant stormwater impacts.
Information gathered from citizens and employees has provided insight into the City of Monroe's target
pollutants and likely sources. Litter was found to be an issue for each target audience — schools,
homeowners and businesses.Homeowners are also the likely source of fertilizers/pesticides and yard waste
into the stormwater system.Businesses were determined to be a likely source of oil and fertilizers/pesticides
pollutants.
The City of Monroe's Public Education & Outreach Program addresses the target pollutants with the
appropriate target audience. The Construction Site Runoff Control Program addresses sediment related to
construction activities. The City's Pollution Prevention & Good Housekeeping Program addresses illicit
discharges, illegal dumping and improper disposal of waste with municipal employees.

4.2 Program Funding and Budget
In accordance with the issued permit, the City of Monroe shall maintain adequate funding and staffing to
implement and manage the provisions of the SWMP and comply with the requirements of the NPDES MS4
Permit. The budget includes the permit administering and compliance fee,which is billed by the Division
annually.
The Monroe City Council authorized City staff to move ahead with the implementation the Stormwater
Utility in June 2008. An ordinance was adopted in July 2008 authorizing the implementation of the Utility
stormwater fees which were added to the City of Monroe utility bill starting in January 2009.
The stormwater utility fee provides a dedicated funding source for the City's stormwater program and is
based on the number of equivalent residential units (ERUs) that have been calculated for each individual
parcel. The equivalent residential unit, also referred to as equivalent runoff unit, is the average amount of
impervious surface area on a single-family residential property in the City of Monroe. One ERU equals
2,618 square feet of impervious surface. The stormwater utility fee is billed monthly on the customer utility
bill.
Single-Family Detached Residential Rates
Single-family detached residential properties(including mobile homes)are grouped into a three tier system
based on the amount of impervious surface located on the property.Each of the three tier groups is assigned
an ERU value and assessed a stormwater utility fee based on this value.
Tier Area of Impervious Surface Assigned ERU Fee
insquare feet not exact
1 0—2,010 0.7 $3.68 per month
2 2,011 —3,287 1.0 $5.25 per month
3 1 3,288 and above 1.4 $7.35 per month
Rates effective January 1,2021
Multi-Unit Residential Rates
For other residential developed property, including townhouses, apartments, condominiums, and other
multi-unit residential development,an ERU value is assigned based on the categorization of the residential
unit.
Other Residential Units(by dwelling unit) Assigned ERU Fee
not exact
Townhomes 0.5 $2.63 per month
Condominiums 0.5 $2.63 per month
Multifamily(including apartment units 0.6 $3.15 per month
Rates effective January 1,2021
Non-residential rates
For non-residential property,ERU is calculated by dividing the total impervious surface area of the property
divided by one ERU or 2,618 square feet, and rounded to the nearest tenth. Each of these ERU values is
then multiplied by the established monthly billing unit rate as fixed by City Council. The monthly
stormwater utility billing unit rate is $5.25, effective January 1,2021.

PART 8: CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL PROGRAM
In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0153, the City of Monroe 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
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 Monroe 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 Monroe 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.
