PART 1: INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Stormwater Management Plan(SWMP) is to establish and define the means by which
the Town of Hope Mills 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 Hope Mills 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 NCS000458,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 Hope Mills and located
within the corporate limits of the Town of Hope Mills.
In preparing this SWMP, the Town of Hope Mills 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 system is comprised of sheet flow, open ditches, swales,curb and gutter, and
drainage pipes. It serves mainly to provide roadway drainage. Sheet flow and open ditches with culverts
at crossings are common in the older residential portions of the Town, while curb and gutter are more
common in the commercial areas and newer residential subdivisions. The Natural Resource Conservation
Service describes the predominant soils as excessively to well drained. There are many locations in the
MS4 service area where infiltration is predominant and consequently many areas from which there is no
surface water discharge to mapped receiving streams.
The Town is currently under contract with a consultant to provide online mapping through ESRI that will
be accessible to the public and assist in outfall mapping. The entire system is updated annually but not
available online.
Table l: Summary of Current MS4 Mapping
Percent of MS4 Area Mapped 100 %
No. of Major Outfalls* Mapped 56 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 MS4name MS4 is located within the Cape Fear River Basin 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

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.
The Town of Hope Mills does not currently have any TMDL's for the waterways located inside Town of
Hope Mills jurisdiction or the watershed directly receiving discharges.

3.8 Non-Stormwater Discharges
The water quality impacts of non-stormwater discharges have been evaluated by the Town of Hope Mills
as summarized in Table 6 below. The unpermitted non-stormwater flows listed as incidental do not
significantly impact water quality. The Town of Hope Mills has evaluated residential and charity car
washing and street washing for possible significant water quality impacts.
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 Hope Mills
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 Hope Mills to determine whether they may
significantly impact water quality. The Town of Hope Mills has found there are no significant impact to
water quality but we continue to educate the public, specifically if permits are obtained for charity car
washes, we see residents washing on impervious areas and we have a Commercial flyer that addresses
wash water that are distribute to business owners.

3.9 Target Pollutants and Sources
In addition to those target pollutants identified above, the Town of Hope Mills is aware of other
significant water quality issues within the permitted MS4 area. These include vehicle maintenance,
residential/commercial landscaping and lawn care,pet waste, sediment and litterlillegal dumping.
Based upon citizen complaint and windshield inspections by staff, the target pollutants are address
through direct mails, signage in parks, local events and the Town's website. The Town partners with
CWEP to provide television, radio and movie theater advertisements, they also have annual updates to the
target pollutants that have covered the Town of Hope Mills target pollutants over the last 4 years. Vehicle
maintenance is addressed to the homeowner directly through citizen engagement and education.
Residential and commercial landscaping is addressed through advertisement, brochures,public events and
directly when found. Pet waste doesn't have a significant impact at a residential level but has been
noticeable in the parks owned by the Town of Hope Mills. Staff installed signage in two parks this past
year and maintains pet waste stations for cleanup. The Town of Hope Mills also has a dog park which in
inclusive and staff maintains daily what doesn't get cleaned up by the pet owners. Sediment is contained
to construction areas and this is regulated by DEMLR,as the Town of Hope Mills is not delegated
Erosion Control authority. Litter is mostly found on the NCDOT roadways but Town Staff cleans these
weekly along with all major Town streets. Illegal dumping is addressed through IDDE and Town Code
Enforcement.
Table 7 below summarizes the water quality pollutants identified throughout Part 3 of this SWMP, the
likely activities/sourcesitargeted audiences attributed to each pollutant, and identifies the associated
SWMP program(s) that address each. In addition, the Town of Hope Mills has evaluated schools,
homeowners and businesses as target audiences that are likely to have significant stormwater impacts.

4.2 Program Funding and Budget
In accordance with the issued permit,the Town of Hope Mills 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 Town of Hope Mills stormwater programs is funded through a stormwater utility fee charged to
property owners located within the Town of Hope Mills jurisdiction. The fee is charged on the property
tax by the Cumberland County tax office and collected through their office. Detached single family
residential customers are charged 1 Equivalent Residential Unit(ERU)of$5 per month and all other
properties$7 per ERU of impervious area on the subject property.
1 ERU is equivalent to 2,266 square feet.
The stormwater utility fee sufficiently funds program needs and services, a staff of 2 employees full-time.
The staff consists of a Stormwater Administrator and a Deputy Stormwater Administrator that oversee all
aspects of the stormwater utility as specified by Town Ordinance. The stormwater utility fee collects
approximately$950,000 annually with an operating budget of roughly $400,000 annually.
The Town Board increased the fee for the 2022 fiscal year to allow for more project funding.
4.3 Shared Responsibility
The Town of Hope Mills will share the responsibility to implement the following minimum control
measures, which are at least as stringent as the corresponding NPDES MS4 Permit requirement. The
Town of Hope Mills remains responsible for compliance if the other entity fails to perform the permit
obligation, and may be subject to enforcement action if neither the Town of Hope Mills nor the other
entity fully performs the permit obligation. Table 9 below summarizes who will be implementing the
component, what the component program is called, the specific SWMP BMP or permit requirement that

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