This SWMP identifies the specific elements and minimum measures that the City of New Bern 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 NCS000585, 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 New Bern and located within the corporate limits of the City of New Bern. In preparing this SWMP,the City of New Bern 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 5: NPDES Stormwater Permitted Industrial Facilities Permit Number Facility Name NCG200534 Sims Metal Management NCG190007 White River Marine Group LLC NCG030088 BSH Home Appliances Corporation NCG 170031 Amital Spinning Corporation NCG140105 Smyrna Ready Mixed Concrete-New Bern,Plant 20011 3.8 Non-Stormwater Discharges The water quality impacts of non-stormwater discharges have been evaluated by the City of New Bern as summarized in Table 6 below. The unpermitted non-stormwater flows listed as incidental do not significantly impact water quality. The City of New Bern 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,note the street sweepers used by the City of New Bern use water only as dust control and have no measurable discharge. The Division does not require that other non-stormwater flows be specifically controlled by the City of New Bern. Wash water associated with car washing that does not contain detergents or does not discharge directly into MS4, is considered incidental. However,these types of non-stormwater discharges that do contain detergents have been evaluated by the City of New Bern, and mobile car washing services have been determined to have an impact on water quality. These services and practices will be addressed by the Public Education and Outreach BMPs and the Illicit discharge program. Table 6: Non-Stormwater Discharges Non-Stormwater Discharge Water Quality Impacts Water line and fire hydrant flushing Incidental Landscape irrigation Incidental Diverted stream flows Incidental Rising groundwater Incidental Uncontaminated groundwater infiltration Incidental Uncontaminated pumped groundwater Incidental Uncontaminated potable water sources Incidental Foundation drains Incidental Air conditioning condensate Incidental NCS000585 SWMP City of New Bern November 18, 2024 Page 8 Irrigation waters Incidental S pringus Incidental Water from crawls ace pumps Incidental Footing drains Incidental Lawn watering Incidental Residential, charity car washing and mobile car Possible washing services Flows from riparian habitats and wetlands Incidental Dechlorinated swimming pool discharges Incidental Street wash water Incidental Flows from firefighting activities Incidental 3.9 Target Pollutants and Sources In addition to those target pollutants identified above,the City of New Bern is aware of other significant water quality issues within the permitted MS4 area. Litter,yard debris, and grease control have been frequently reported by citizens and city staff. Litter is a broad target, from waste transfer trucks and garbage collection to erroneous disposal of every day trash on the streets. We have also received numerous reports of yard debris being deposited in ditches and waterways. On several occasions reports of grease overflows from local restaurant's grease receptacles spark the need for closer monitoring. Table 7 below suininarizes 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 New Bern has evaluated schools, homeowners and businesses as target audiences that are likely to have significant stormwater impacts.

The budget includes the permit administering and compliance fee,which is billed by the Division annually. Currently New Bern funds its MS4 program through a$0.025 per$100 of property value tax.This tax generates approximately 1.025 million dollars per year for the Public Works Stormwater Division which manages the MS4 program, and these funds are also collectively used to maintain the city's drainage system. It is the goal of this SWMP to conduct a detailed fiscal analysis during the permitted period. 4.3 Shared Responsibility The City of New Bern 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 City of New Bern remains responsible for compliance, if the other entity fails to fulfil the permit obligation and may be subject to enforcement action if neither the City of New Bern nor the other entity fully fulfil 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 is being met by the shared responsibility, and whether or not a legal agreement to share responsibility is in place.

NCS000585 SWMP City of New Bern November 18,2024 Page 23 PART 8: CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL PROGRAM In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0153,the City of New Bern 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. Table 16: Qualifying Alternative Program Components for Construction Site Runoff Control Program Permit State or Local Program Name Legal Authority Implementing Reference Entity 3.5.1 - State Implemented SPCA 15A NCAC Chapter 04 NCDEQ 3.5.4 Program The City of New Bern also implements the following BMPs to meet NPDES MS4 Permit requirements.
