STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN OVERVIEW
The North Carolina Division of Water Quality issued NPDES Phase II Permit NC 5000529 to the City of Kings Mountain
effective December 1, 2011 and renewed effective February 20, 2017. The Stormwater Management Plan is the City of
Kings Mountain's program to comply with NPDES Phase II Permit NC 5000529 for stormwater discharges from Small
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s). The plan includes the Best Management Practices included in the
City's application plan narrative as well as guidelines and strategies necessary for protecting water quality and reducing
pollutant discharges to the maximum extent practicable. The plan also includes reporting results for the current yearly
reporting period from December 1, 2016 to November 30, 2017.
This plan is a guidance document to be used by City staff and the general public. The plan is evolving and will address
priorities and needs that will be reflected in compliance programs, policies, operating manuals and revised ordinances
over the five (5) year continuation period.
As required by the EPA regulations for the NPDES Phase II stormwater programs, the following are the six minimum
measures that are addressed in the plan:
1. PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREACH
2. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND INVOLVEMENT
3. ILLICIT DISCHARGE DETECTION AND ELIMINATION
4. CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL
5. POST -CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL
6. POLLUTION PREVENTION AND GOOD HOUSEKEEPING FOR MUNICIPAL OPERATIONS
STATUS OF IMPLEMENTATION
The City of Kings Mountain is pleased to report excellent progress for year six (6) compliance with requirements of
NPDES Phase II Permit NC 5000529. Primary areas of work include:
• Continued implementation of:
o Stormwater Permit Requirements
o Stormwater Permit Review and Approvals
• Public Outreach events to educate the public and encourage public participation and involvement.

CITY OF KINGS MOUNTAIN STORMWATER SEVICES OVERVIEW
COMPREHENSIVE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Comprehensive stormwater management takes into account both quantity and quality of stormwater runoff and is reflected in the
five (5) major components of the City of Kings Mountain's Stormwater Services program:
ADMINISTRATION AND PLANNING
Planning utilized the watershed approach to develop long range plans to improve drainage and water quality
within each watershed. The City has been divided into four main watersheds. The eastern watersheds drain into
the Catawba River Basin and the western watersheds drain into the Broad River Basin. This approach seemed
most appropriate considering our municipal limits incorporates two separate river basins.
REGULATORY AUTHORITY AND ENFORCEMENT
The City of Kings Mountain's current stormwater ordinance has been created in order to meet required
comprehensive stormwater management and create technical standards for design and maintenance of private
stormwater facilities. The City currently has one staff member who is BMP inspection certified. The city has
approved Post -Construction runoff BMP measures, the plan is to have staff educated in maintenance practices in
order to ensure compliance with the City's maintenance standards. All NPDES Phase II stormwater regulations fall
into this category.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
The City has determined the lot size and the impervious areas for the City properties. This information along with
the inventory of our drainage system and our capital improvement needs was a large part of determining an
appropriate residential unit for the development of stormwater utility fees. A portion of the utility fee will go
toward identified capital improvement projects that have been prioritized to provide the most effective water
quantity as well as quality improvements.
OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE
The City of Kings Mountain's Stormwater Services Department is responsible for maintaining the public drainage
system. With the implementation of the City's NPDES Phase II BMP for Pollution Prevention and Good
Housekeeping this division will continue to maintain the City's open and closed drainage systems, street sweeping,
and maintenance of public parking areas. The City has completed an O & M for catch basins and conveyance
systems which will include reporting mechanisms.
WATER QUALITY
Currently there are no TMDL's on any of the streams that the permittee is permitted to discharge into.
The permittee will continue to monitor information regarding the water quality of these streams and
make revisions to the stormwater plan if needed.

Stormwater Services Department
The City of Kings Mountain's Stormwater Services Department has enforcement authority and will issue future stormwater
permits within the City. This department will also be responsible for handling stormwater complaints from the public and
the City's Street Maintenance Department pertaining to stormwater issues. Actions supported by the City's current
ordinances pertaining to stormwater are investigated and documented as either violations or not founded. All stormwater
complaints bring an opportunity for public education and awareness. This department will be responsible for these same
duties.
The City's Stormwater Services Department also has permitting and enforcement authority for any commercial construction
projects less than one acre, in regards to grading and erosion control measures.
Water Resources Department
The Water Resources Department is responsible for the City of Kings Mountain's NPDES Wastewater Discharge Permit, the
City's Collection System Permit and all supporting ordinances and policies such as the City's Illicit Discharge Policy. As part
of these responsibilities this group regulates sanitary sewer overflows; documents all overflows; and works to ensure that
no wastewater is discharged into natural outlets. They also respond to customer complaints and assist in monitoring
streams adjacent to their sewer outfalls.
North Carolina Department of Environmental Health and Natural Resources
The NC DEMLR will be responsible for the erosion control for projects of more than one acre. The City of Kings Mountain
Erosion Control Ordinance was passed on November 26, 2013, however permits are not issued by the City therefore the
contractor will be required to acquire his soil and erosion permit from NC DEMLR. All projects that are less than one acre
will be required to obtain a grading permit from the City of Kings Mountain and comply with development erosion control
such as silt fencing, gravel construction entrances, etc.

improper disposal of waste.
(f) Address the following categories of non -storm water discharges or flows (i.e., illicit discharges) only if you
identify them as significant contributors of pollutants to the MS4: water line flushing , landscape irrigation,
diverted stream flows, rising ground waters, uncontaminated ground water infiltration, uncontaminated
pumped ground water, discharges from potable water sources, foundation drains, air conditioning
condensation, irrigation water, springs, water from crawl space pumps, footing drains, lawn watering,
individual residential car washing, charity car washes, flows from riparian habitats and wetlands, de-
chlorinated swimming pool discharges, and street wash water (discharges or flows from firefighting activities
are excluded from the effective prohibition against non -storm water and need only be addressed where they
are identified as significant sources of pollutants to waters of the United States).

1. Pursuant to 40CFR 122.35 (b) and the maximum extent practicable (MEP) standard, the permitee may rely on the
N.C. Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources Sediment and Erosion Control Program to comply with this
minimum measure. The NCDEMLR Division of Land Resources Sediment and Erosion Control Program effectively
meets the MEP standard for Construction Site Runoff controls by permitting and controlling development activities
disturbing one or more acres of land surface and those activities less than one acre that are part of a larger
common plan of development as authorized under the Sediment Pollution Control Act of 1973 and Chapter 4 of
Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code. The NC Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources
Sediment and Erosion control Program continues to be monitored by the EPA to ensure the State effectively meets
the MEP standard established by the Sediment Pollution Control Act of 1973 and Chapter 4 of Title 15A of the
North Carolina Administrative Code.
2. The NCG010000 permit establishes requirements for construction site operators to control waste such as
discarded building materials, concrete truck washout, chemicals, litter and sanitary waste at the construction site
that may cause adverse impacts to water quality.
3. The permittee shall provide and promote a means for the public to notify the appropriate authorities of observed
erosion and sedimentation problems. The permittee may implement a plan promoting the existence of NC
Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ OR DEQ), Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources "Stop
Mud" hotline to meet the requirements of this paragraph.

1. Objectives
a. Determine whether a TMDL has been developed and approved or established by EPA for the
receiving water(s) for the MS4 stormwater discharge and/or downstream waters into which the
receiving water directly flows.
Develop and implement BMPS to reduce non -point source pollutant loading to the maximum
extent practicable (MEP) if the Permittee is or becomes subject to an approved TMDL with an
approved Waste Load Allocation (WLAs) assigned to stormwater.
If subject to an approved TMDL, the Permittee is in compliance with the TMDL if the permittee
complies with the conditions of this permit, including developing and implementing appropriate
BMPS to reduce non -point source pollutant loading to the maximum extent practicable (MEP).
While improved water quality is the expected outcome, the NPDES MS4 permit obligation is to
reduce non -point source pollutant loading to the maximum extent practicable (MEP). The MS4
Permittee is not responsible for attaining water quality standards (WQS) at the ambient
monitoring stations. The Division expects attaining WQS will only be achieved through reduction
from the MS4, along with reductions from other non -point source contributors.
2. Best Management Practices (BMPS)
At any time during the effective dates of this permit, if the Permittee is or becomes subject to an
approved TMDL with and approved Waste Load Allocation (WLAs) assigned to stormwater, the permittee shall
implement the following BMPS to reduce non -point source pollutant loading to the maximum extent
practicable (MEP):
(a) Identify, describe and
map watershed outfalls,
and streams
Within 12 months the Permittee shall prepare a plan that: Identifies the watershed(s) subject
to an approved TMDL with an approved Waste Load Allocation (WSL) assigned to
stormwater....

5TORKWATER
grotight to you by the City of Stockton Stormwater Pragrarn.
Did you know--- that the water you drink is as aId as the earth itself' Dinosaurs may
have swum in the water from your kitchen sink. The earth's water supply is about the
carne as it was millions of years ago. That's because every molecule of water is
recycled over and over though a process called the water cycle. More than 990% of
the earth's water is salt water in the ocean of trapped in ice caps. That leaves only 1%
of the earths water for us to use!

0 Use these car -washing tips to be a responsible auto -washer.
Letting auto fluids flow down your driveway into storm drains is bad for everyone,
and every fish
Save water and the environment by following these ear washing tips whether
you drive a shiny new hybrid or a dependable old clunker, you can reduce the
environmental impact of your car by doing one simple thing: Quit washing it in
your driveway! Between the gallons of water you use to soap up your sponges
and the freshwater flowing unrestricted from your garden hose, clearing your car
can take between 80 and 140 gallons for every wash. And that water picks up a
nasty load of everything that had been stuck to your car ----gasoline, oil, heavy
metal particles, tar, and particulate matter from exhaust furn es— and sends it
down your driveway directly to the nearest lake or river, totally untreated, as
many storm drains don't lead to a sewage treatment plant. But giving up washing
in the driveway doesn't mean you'll have to just live with a dirty car. After all,
excess dirt can scratch your car's finish, which car lead to rust problems if you live
In a northern city that salts it's the roads in winter. So here are three sample,
green ways to wash your car without wasting any water (or wildlife).
#1: Get off the pavement.
If you change nothing else in your car -care routine, park your vehicle on a flat,
permeable surface (lawn, gravel, or dirt) rather than on pavement. Natural
microbes in grass, soil, and dirt work as natural filters, breaking down some of the
nasty corn pounds in your wash water and preventing them from running off into
the nearest storm drain.
#2: Do it yourself. For those who really relish the hands-on experience of shining
up their "babies," head to a self-service car wash where the runoff water is
captured and sent to a water -treatment plant, This is often the greenest—and
least expensive—option, using about 15 gallons of water. plus, you can use your
0 own biodegradable dish soap. Those larger commercial drive-through systems use

more water than self-service, about 35 to 50 gallons, depending on the type, but
that's still much less than if you washed it at home. Just be sure to pass up the
extra treatments and waxes (which are unlikely to offer eco -options) and stick
with a plain -Jane wash.
#: Go waterless!
While buckets, oversized sponges, a long hose, and soaked clothing are part of
DIY car wash tradition, you really don't need any of those things to give your car,
truck, motorcycle, boat, or plane—don't laugh, I've washed more small planes
than I have cars over the yea rs—a clean, green shine. There are a number of
pre made, ecofriendly "waterless car wash" products available (one the
RodaIe.com crew has tested and I[kes is Eco Touch). Or you can just grab your
spray bottle of home -brewed window or Almost Everything cleaner and at least
two soft, absorbent, clean rags or microfIber cleaning cloths (more if your car is
really grubby). knead the directions if you're using a commercial product. But if
wing hornemade cleaners, mist a small area with the spray -on cleaner, wipe the
product and dirt off that area with the first cloth, and then buff the area with the 1
second dry clout_ Replace the cloths as needed.
Now that you've greened your car -washing routine, you may need some extra
help getting al the bugs, sap, oil, dirt, dust, and grirne that build up on the top
and the inside of your car.
Loosen baled -cin bugs first by spraying with cleaner and letting it sit for a
couple of minutes before wiping, or use a nonabrasive kitchen scrubby to
loosen them. You can also soak a cloth with vinegar or denatured alcohol
and use it to soak/rule off dried -on bugs. Rinse with water and re -wax the
area (vinegar if left on can strip a car's finish).
For tree sap or tar on the exterior, dab some peanut butter or solid
shortening on the goo, let it sit for a minute or two, and wipe it off with a
separate cloth before using your cleaner. Repeat a few times if necessary.
Denatured alcohol will also remove tar and sap-

#3: Co waterless
While buckets, oversized sponges, a long hose, and soaker! cloth Ing are part of
DIY Car wash tradition, you really don't need any of those things to give your car,
truck, motorcycle, boat, or plane—don't laugh, I've washed more small planes
than I have cars over the years—aclean, green shine. There are a nurn ber of
pre mad e, ecofriendiy "waterless car wash" products available (one the
Rod ale. corn crew has tested and lilies is Eco Touch). 0r you can just grab Your
spray bottle of home -brewed window or Almost EverythIng cleaner and at least
two soft, absorbent, clean rags or microfiber cleaning cloths (more it your car is
really grubby)- Dead the directions if you're u. ling a commercial product. But if
using homemade cleaners, mist a small area with the spray -on cleaner, wipe the
product and dirt off that area with the first cloth, and then buff the area with the
second dry cloth. Replace the cloths as needed.
Now that you've greened your car -washing routine, you may need some extra
help getting all the bugs, sap, oil, dirt, dust, and grime that build up on the top
and the inside of your car.
Loosen baked -on bugs first by spraying with cleaner and letting it sit for a
couple of minutes before wiping, or use a nonabrasive kitchen scrubby to
loosen them- You can also soak a cloth with vinegar or denatured alcohol
and use it to soakf rub off d rigid -on bugs. Rinse with water and re -wax the
area (vinegar if Ieft on carp strip a car's finish) -
For tree sap or tar on the exterior, dab some peanut butter or solid
shortening on the goo, let it sit for a minute or two, and wipe It off with a
separate cloth before using your cleaner. Repeat a few times if necessary,
Denatured alcohol will also remove tar and sap.

• Wash the windows inside and out, and while you're at it, wash the mirrors
and the headlight and taHlight glass- Follow my tips for using a squeegee to
get the cleanest windows in the parking fat. Hirt: Roll the door windows
down slightly and clean the top edge first, then roI] them up and clean the
remainder of the window. And, since we're heading into cool, dewy
rnornings and foggy fall evenings, apply an ecofriendly antifogging
treatment to the windshield and rnirrors. One I Iike is Doctor Clear-
* Vacuum the interior using a crevice tool to get into the cracks and crannies,
anti freshen up your upholstery if it reeds it, by sprinkling some odor -
absorbing dry baling soda onto the seats, and letting it sit for BO minutes to
two hours before vacuuming it up -
Make your own "Armor All" by mixing 1 part fresh lemon juice with two
parts olive oil in a small bowl. Dab a small amount onto a soft cloth and rub
it over the dashboard and other plastic and vinyl surfaces (but not the
pedals, the steering wheel, or other surfaces that shouldn't be slippery)-
Use a retired toothbrush to work the solution into cracks and remove
trapped dust and gunk. Buff with a second dry, clean cloth; the mixture will
leave a soft shine and a pleasant smell- Discard any unused mixture, or
store it in a clearly marked container in the fridge.
That Extra Shire
Most new cars #gave highly resistant Shiny protective finishes, but if you feel the
need to shine, or if you used vinegar to get bugs or other gunk off the body, you
care revive the shine using a batch of your own green ear wax.
Ingredients:
1 cup linseed oil
4 Tablespoons pure carnauba wax (sold in auto parts stores)
Tablespoons beeswax
. cup apple cider vinegar

Y
Directions:
Place ingredients in an old double boiler or in a tin can set in a saucepan of hot
water. Heat over low heat, stirring frequently, until the waxes meet and disappear.

To use, apply a small dab to a clean surface with a soft cloth, rubbing in a circular
motion; then buff with a clean cloth.
Hint: Wax your car in the shade so the metal stars reasonably cool, and work on a
small section at a time_
