NCS000434_MS4 Annual Report (2024-25 FY)_20240701

ANNUAL NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM PERMIT NCS00434 REPORT-2025
(Revised November 16, 2022)
Currently, the City of Archdale is located in both Randolph County and Guilford County. The current
area and population in Randolph County is 11,514 and 7.80 square miles; Guilford County is 393 and
1.00 square miles. [Total is 11,907 and 8.80 square miles]
SECTION A: PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION
The City of Archdale currently maintains adequate funding and staffing of the individual components of
the ACE Integrated Stormwater Management Plan authorized by the City Council of Archdale during it's
regular session on December 18, 2007 upon the recommendations of the then newly established
Stormwater Advisory Board -which also acts as a specific conduit for citizen interaction, participation,
and involvement- and the current Stormwater Water Program Manager establishing initial authority
from the Clean Water Act of 1972. As part of the program, Mr. David Joseph Seneres, PWLFso, PE25,
CSMls is currently adapting modifications mandated by the State Representative, Mr. Isaiah L. Reed, PE,
MS4CECI upcoming changes related to a long time goal of spreadsheet column generated reporting in a
standardized template originating from a Local Government Information Model (LGIM) currently
unavailable due to technical issues. This stop-gap analysis involves discussing each of the permit
requirements establishing compliance has been met for the year. Each year additional concepts are
modified to enhance the already existing program. No modifications of the initial 30-year conceptual
ACE Integrated Stormwater Management Plan has occurred since the inception of the program but
modifications to presentation. Current letters approved by the City Attorney for violations indicate that
the maximum fine may be up to$51,575. Of course, the biggest challenge continues to be the
integration of software and resolving incompatibility issues between sources.
SECTION B: PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREACH
Through partnerships with the Piedmont Triad Water Quality Partnership,Stormwater Smart Program,
City of Archdale Creekside Park, and local schools, public education and outreach continue to be ever
present and typically addresses a minimum of four categories. Recognizing the most prolific pollutant in
the city is sediment transport, the sediment and erosion control program is an integral part of the
stormwater management. Information concerning the program is provided on the dedicated section of
the website but the most significant part of the dissemination of information comes from one on one
discussions with the citizens of Archdale. The Stormwater Program Manager spends considerable time
one on one describing introductions of pollutants into our water system as violations of the Clean Water
Act of 1972 and the consequences of knowingly violating the Environmental Protection Agency
guidance. Since inception, 1,377 permits have been issued with an estimated total of 865.27 acres
disturbed (an average of 0.63 acres per site).
SECTION C: PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT AND PARTICIPATION
The Stormwater Advisory Board which meets a minimum of four times a year with the ability to call
special meetings continues to address changes associated with the Environmental Protection Agency
guidance and the State of North Carolina guidance. The Bush Hill Hometown Jamboree and National
Night Out acted as our largest gathering each year to provide information. With a minimum reported
interaction of 1,500 people per event, we estimate that we annually reinforce the importance of the

ACE Integrated Stormwater Management Plan to approximate total of 94.38 percent of our population.
Flyers are available all year round in the main lobby of City Hall,the Stormwater Program Managers'
office, and other locations as the opportunity presents itself. The Stormwater Program Manager
maintains his personal cell phone as a Hotline for citizens in addition to the Customer Service number.
Because the City of Archdale is a relatively small municipality, all activities related to environmental
stewardship can always be associated with an overall improvement of the system. Over the years,
through education and outreach, citizens call in when they notice inconsistencies in conflict with the
ACE Integrated Stormwater Management Plan and the overall charge of the Clean Water Act of 1972.
SECTION D: ILLICIT DISCHARGE DETECTION AND ELIMINATION (IDDE)
Our best quantitative measure to date is no recorded repeat calls associated with the same act and our
most reported IDDE offense is concentrated flow from downspout gutters directed perpendicular to a
lot line. Since inception,we take advantage of dry weather during daily rounds to identify sources of
flow as well as reports from citizens.The City of Archdale continues to foster good communication
between upper management as related to the pollution prevention and environmental stewardship.
SECTION E: CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROLS
With the rollout of the new website portal on June 28, 2020, contractor training continues and is being
utilized for Sections A—G. With 6 permits issued for the year(1420 units), activity through the portal
totalled 606 in the categories of the Six Minimum Measures with 602 closed and an overall closure rate
of 6.9 days as compared to 9.2 reported in the previous year.
SECTION F: POST-CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROLS
As indicated earlier in the report,the delegation of the Sediment and Erosion Control is an integral part
of our ACE Integrated Stormwater Management Plan.The clear advantage we have is that sites are seen
a minimum of five days a week during daily rounds. A current map of the 34 Stormwater Control
Measures in the city shows an even distribution along the main corridor of U. S. 311 South—North and
South Main Street in Archdale, North Carolina. Based on this current assessment 226.53 acres or 4.03%
of the jurisdictional area are designated as SCM's.
SECTION G: POLLUTION PREVENTION AND GOOD HOUSEKEEPING FOR MUNICIPAL OPERATIONS
Public Works Department coordinate regularly with the Stormwater Program Manager. However,
typical sources of pollutants that exists for most municipalities do not exist for Archdale. We do not
have a Vehicle Fleet Maintenance Facility,Transfer Station,Waste Treatment Facility, or Water
Treatment Facility. These types of facilities are outsourced through contracts. We do however, educate
personnel on through Human Resources on Personal Protection Equipment and MSDS Uses of Chemicals
and storage on site when applicable.
SECTION H:TOTAL MAXIMUM DAILY LOADS (TMDLs)
No current TMDL exist currently. Currently,there are no waterways in the corporate city limits on the
impaired waters list. As indicated above,Third Party inspections is a strategy designed to to expand the
efficiency of the program

SECTION I: ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF REPORTS [G.S. 143-215.1]
Templates continue to be modified for reporting as guidelines continue to change in accordance with
Section A through Section I of our current permit. All raw data is contained on the servers of the City of
Archdale as maintained by the Information Technology Manager.
