I. Introduction
The purpose of this report is to satisfy the annual reporting requirements set forth in the Tar-
Pamlico Nutrient Sensitive Waters Rule (15A NCAC 2B.0258). Pursuant to these
requirements, this report contains information on the progress of the City of Rocky Mount’s
work toward meeting the intent of the Rule through new development review, illicit discharge
detection and elimination, identification of potential retrofit locations, and public education
and outreach.

In general, the city’s stormwater management program consists of thirty nine and one-third
(39.33) full time operational and three and one-third (3.33) full time administrative
positions. The program is funded through a Stormwater Utility, established in 2003 for the
purpose of providing funding to support compliance with the Tar-Pamlico Nutrient Sensitive
Waters Rule, the Water Supply Watershed rules, and the city’s NPDES Phase II permit. The
program’s projected Fiscal Year 2016 revenue is approximately $4.0 million.

II. Reporting Year October 2014 – September 2015
During the reporting year, the program focused on construction of capital projects, which
reduce flooding and improve water quality, as well as operational maintenance. Progress in
these areas is detailed below.

The following is a breakdown of the city’s stormwater program areas as specified by 15A
NCAC 2B.0258:

New Development Review and Approval
The city approved development plans for ten projects falling under the criteria of the Tar-
Pamlico NSW Rule, totaling 1108.5 acres (Belmont Lake Villas, Boseman Solar Center,
Buffalo Wild Wings, Dollar General Sunset Avenue, Family Dollar Goldrock Road, Fresenius
Medical Center, Hospira SVP Modernization-R1 Addition, Huttig Building Products, SolNC
Power – Tract 1 and Tract 2 and Wesleyan College Dormitory. Of these developments, four
utilized a total of four structural best management practices for nutrient reduction. Seven
projects utilized the Tar River Headwaters Mitigation Bank. 1293.96 pounds of nitrogen, and
410.42 pounds of phosphorous were purchased for mitigation from the bank. Both Hospira
and Family Dollar – Goldrock Road had previously payed into the NCEEP for Nitrogen and
Phosphorous mitigation credits. The total net loading for the 2015 reporting period, including
credit from the nutrient mitigation bank, was 2178.79 pounds per year (1.97 lb/yr-ac) for
nitrogen and 319.59 pounds per year (0.29 lb/yr-ac) for phosphorous. These net total
loadings are below the goal of 4.0 and 0.40 lb/yr-ac for Nitrogen and Phosphorous,
respectively. For a more detailed summary, please refer to Tables 1 and 2 in Appendix A.

Illicit Discharges
Minor discharges continue to be addressed through informal letters or phone calls to
residents or business owners. These included landscaping contractors blowing grass
clippings into storm drains or residents dumping leaves into ditches. Most of these incidents
were reported through the stormwater hotline in response to several ads run on the city’s
government access channel, CITY TV-19, asking for reports of this nature.

The program also issued three official Notices of Violation. Details regarding these violations
and their dispositions are:

- On February 9, 2015 a fuel discharge, which appeared to be less than 50
gallons, was reported as being along the east roadside swale of Harris
Street in the City of Rocky Mount by an employee in the Public Works
Department. Upon the report of this discharge, City of Rocky Mount
forces placed clay earthen dikes in the ditch downstream of the discharge
and northeast of Duke Circle. Our Environmental Emergency Response
On-Call was contacted and within a few hours of the discharge report,
Mr. Carl Smith of Eastern Environmental Management arrived on the
scene. Immediately, Mr. Smith's team deployed absorbent booms both at
and downstream of the discharge in addition to inverted siphons that
were also installed in the clay earthen dikes. Eastern Environmental
Management, LLC vacuumed approximately 1,734 gallons of "ponded
water", which appeared to have an oily sheen on the surface, in the
vicinity of the spill. At this point the site was stabilized and most free
floating volatiles were captured. The installed measures were monitored
every 1-2 days until the remediation occurred. On February 24, 2015 the
soil remediation activity took place. The soil was removed from
approximately eighty feet of the east roadside swale. The contaminated
soil was removed by a Komatsu WB 140 backhoe and placed into an
Eastern Environmental Management dump truck equipped to haul this
type of waste. The soil was removed to depths varying from
approximately two feet to three feet in the roadside ditch. The soil was
removed until an empirical smell test indicated a high probability of no
fuel present in the soil. The soil at the bottom of the trench was then
tested using a MultiRAE Plus Multiple-Gas Monitor, which was supplied
by Eastern Environmental Management, LLC. The tests were performed
at the following locations with the respective results: Station 0+04 feet,
VOC 1.2 ppm; Station 0+25 feet, VOC 0.2 ppm; Station 0+46 feet, VOC
0.8 ppm; and Station 0+78 feet, VOC 3.6 ppm. All of these tests indicate
a passing sample. Upon removal of the contaminated soil, clean topsoil
material was placed back into the excavated area and the roadside ditch
was reshaped as close as possible to its original condition and stabilized
with seed, mulch, and matting. All absorbent booms and contaminated
soil were disposed of by Eastern Environmental Management, LLC.
Mitch Hayes of NCDEQ reviewed the report and considered the incident
closed.

- Chair & Equipment Rentals -Property located at 1530 Wesleyan
Boulevard- NOV issued on March 18, 2015 to Mr. Brian James, owner.
On March 16, 2015, personnel of this office inspected property located at
the above address in Rocky Mount, North Carolina to determine if an
illicit discharge into the City of Rocky Mount Stormwater System had
occurred. The inspection revealed the illegal washing/cleaning of
portable toilets in Colon Drive, and thereby at a location that entered into
the City of Rocky Mount Stormwater System. The property owner was
responsive and prior to that compliance deadline, the property owner
progressed to make the necessary adjustments in their cleaning
operation and subsequently was deemed in compliance.

- A number of properties including: Wells Fargo Bank-Sunset Avenue
Branch, Rocky Mount High School, Thompson Nursery, Inc. and other
private properties were sent a notice reminding them of the City of Rocky
Mount Code of ordinances regarding discharges to the stormwater
system. At these properties, the person/company performing lawn
maintenance was disposing/blowing either grass clippings and/or leaves
onto the adjacent street/storm drainage system.

Efforts during FY 2016 will include:

- Continue efforts updating existing and formulation of new SWPPPs for
municipally owned facilities. Although Best Management Practices have
been implemented, formalizing the plan is needed.

- Further expansion of enforcement of the city’s IDDE ordinances,
including implementation of a more thorough training program for city
employees focusing on good housekeeping and illicit discharge response.

- Continue the routine cleaning of storm drains and the standard
maintenance of stormwater conveyances such as ditches, channels, and
swales.

- Explore/Implement methods to promote the “Sodfather” video, which
explains the issues associated with blowing grass clippings into the street
and storm drainage.

Retrofit Opportunities
The city continues to investigate the feasibility of riparian buffer restoration in various
locations. Following Hurricane Floyd, many lots affected by flooding were bought by the city
using money from FEMA. Most of these properties border creeks or the Tar River, and have
little or no riparian buffer area, thus making them good candidates for restoration activities.

Additionally, the following three retrofit opportunities continue to be analyzed by the city:

1. Leggett Road Outfall to Tar River – Stream restoration.
2. Wilkins Street Outfall to Tar River – Stream relocation/restoration.
3. Boys & Girls Club – Construct BMP Between primary outlet and stream
to reduce nutrient discharge from site.

In addition to these three potential retrofit locations, as reported in the 2014
Annual Report, the city received a grant from the Clean Water Management Trust
Fund and has purchased two parcels of undeveloped land along Stoney Creek in
Rocky Mount in January 2013, which was listed as an impaired water on the
303(d) list. This property is the first in a series of acquisitions the city hopes to
make along Stoney Creek in order to construct a greenway and walking trail. In
addition, the city plans to study the feasibility of constructing an educational bmp
on the largest parcel (15.4 acres) that was acquired.

More detailed information regarding these potential retrofit sites and the Stoney Creek
properties can be found in Appendix C.

Public Education and Outreach
The Tar-Pamlico Stormwater Rule requires development of a locally administered
environmental education program to address nitrogen and phosphorous loading issues with
the public and with developers. In addition to education regarding nutrient transport and
water quality, the education program is also required to address peak stormwater flows with
developers.

A variety of activities have been identified for use in developing a comprehensive public
education program capable of satisfying the requirements of the rule. Point values were
assigned to each activity. Based on the points assigned, all affected local governments are
required to develop a plan comprised of activities that sum to at least 15 points per reporting
period. Over the past year, the city conducted activities with a total value of 36 points. These
activities include:

Arrange Speakers 16 points
Web Page/Web Site Links 2 points
Factsheets/Brochures/Flyers 2 points
Expand Adopt-A-Street 4 points
Environmental Hotline 3 points
Major Media Advertising 6 points
Local Access or Radio Spots 3 points

In addition to those presentations listed in the point total in Appendix D, the City’s Keep
America Beautiful Coordinator attended several expos and disseminated stormwater
information and giveaways.

With regards to media advertising, the city continues to take part in the Clean Water
Education Partnership (CWEP), administered by the Triangle J Council of Governments.
CWEP allows member local governments to pool their resources to fund a comprehensive
public education program. Through CWEP, the city contributes toward the purchase of radio,
television, internet advertising, print, and cinema advertising.

In Rocky Mount, CWEP was able to run a 30 second television ad campaign in the fall of
2014. The fall spot was viewed 97,653 times. CWEP also ran a FY15 winter cinema pre-show
campaign series which was viewed an estimated 11,458 times in Rocky Mount. In addition.
CWEP also ran a FY15 summer cinema pre-show campaign series which was viewed an
estimated 9,110 times in Rocky Mount. In an effort to reach across broader audiences CWEP
maintained its internet presence leading to an average of 2,016 unique visitors to
www.NCcleanwater.org per month for the 12 month period between July 2014 and June 2015.
There were a total of 36,524 visits to the website for the 12 month period between July 2014
and June 2015.

In addition to continuing the public education initiatives pursued through CWEP, the city
plans to expand the public education campaign for FY 16 by continuing to research the
effectiveness of the installation of drain markers in high priority areas for illegal discharge
detection. More detailed information related to the city’s public education efforts and the
television, radio, and internet campaigns spearheaded by CWEP is provided in Appendix D.

III.Program Summary
The City of Rocky Mount’s stormwater management program continues to prove itself to be a
leader in the Tar-Pamlico River Basin. In the area of new development review, the city has
gained compliance and support from the local consulting and development community, and
continues to emphasize the importance of compliance in sustaining the valuable resource that
we are charged with protecting. Throughout the city, citizen involvement continues to grow,
leading to increased reporting of illicit discharges and illegal dumping. In addition through
the joint public-private efforts, the % BMP deficiency rate continues to trend downward,
resulting in increased water quality.

In the coming year, we will continue to ramp up enforcement of our IDDE ordinance, educate
the public through informational brochures and mailings, and implement training across the
city organization on good housekeeping practices for first line supervisors. Additionally, we
have completed construction on several large capital projects in an effort to reduce flooding
and improve water quality. In the coming year, we will undertake several additional capital
construction projects, and will complete the study of the Battleboro Area Basin, with the
intent of reducing flooding and improving water quality in this area.

It continues to be a struggle to promptly receive all necessary documentation asssociated with newly installed BMPs. We routinely withhold certificates
of occupancy and/or performance bonds until O & M documents have been provided and recorded. With that being said, there is an upward trend in
total percent of BMP maintenance compliance.
To date, the City has not had to pursue any enforcement action to gain compliance with the Rules. However, two of the sixty-seven private BMPs
within the City's stormwater system and subject to annual inspections did not submit an annual inspection report. If follow up with the responsible
parties to these BMPs does not produce results, the City may initiate action to inspect and, if necessary, repair the privately held BMPs and bill the
owners.

Tar River Headwaters Mitigation Bank Parcel ID: DWQ Project # 2013-0184
Nutrient Offset Credits Purchased: 138.24 (lbs -N) and 9.72 (lbs - P)
8 digit-HUC: 03020101
Tar-Pamlico River Basin

You have elected to fulfill your permitted nutrient and/or buffer mitigation requirements for the Buffalo Wild
Wings Project at Golden East Mall, Rocky Mount, NC by paying into the Tar River Headwaters Mitigation Bank.

This Bank has received full payment towards the nutrient offset requirement for the above referenced project.
This project is located in the jurisdiction of Franklin County Planning & Inspections which is required to
implement stormwater management requirements as part of the Tar-Pamlico Nutrient Strategy. Franklin County
Planning & Inspections must review and approve developers’ stormwater management plans which are to include
options to offset nutrients loads occurring at the development site. Payment into a private mitigation bank is
acceptable per this nutrient strategy rule. Franklin County Planning & Inspections specified and verified the
amount of the nutrient offset necessary for approval of the stormwater permit as 138.24 lbs of nitrogen and 9.72
lbs of phosphorous.

You must also comply with any other state, federal or local government permits or authorization associated with
this activity including SL 2009-337, An Act to Promote Compensatory Mitigation Banks. This payment
into the Bank is not transferable. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Rich
Mogensen at (704) 576 – 1111.

Sincerely,

Rich Mogensen, President

Re: Harris Street Fuel Discharge Cleanup

Dear Mr. Hayes:

On February 9, 2015 a fuel discharge, which appeared to be less than 50 gallons, was reported as being along the
east roadside swale of Harris Street in the City of Rocky Mount by an employee in the Public Works Department.
Upon the report of this discharge, City of Rocky Mount forces placed clay earthen dikes in the ditch downstream
of the discharge and northeast of Duke Circle. Our Environmental Emergency Response On-Call was contacted
and within a few hours of the discharge report, Mr. Carl Smith of Eastern Environmental Management arrived on
the scene. Immediately, Mr. Smith's team deployed absorbent booms both at and downstream of the discharge in
addition to inverted siphons that were also installed in the clay earthen dikes. Eastern Environmental Management,
LLC vacuumed approximately 1,734 gallons of "ponded water", which appeared to have a oily sheen on the surface,
in the vicinity of the spill. At this point the site was stabilized and most free floating volatiles were captured. The
installed measures were monitored every 1-2 days until the remediation occurred.

On February 24, 2015 the soil remediation activity took place. The soil was removed from approximately eighty feet
of the east roadside swale. The contaminated soil was removed by a Komatsu WB 140 backhoe and placed into an
Eastern Environmental Management dump truck equipped to haul this type of waste. The soil was removed to
depths varying from approximately two feet to three feet in the roadside ditch. The soil was removed until an
empirical smell test indicated a high probability of no fuel present in the soil. The soil at the bottom of the trench
was then tested using a MultiRAE Plus Multiple-Gas Monitor, which was supplied by Eastern Environmental
Management, LLC. The tests were performed at the following locations with the respective results: Station 0+04
feet, VOC 1.2 ppm; Station 0+25 feet, VOC 0.2 ppm; Station 0+46 feet, VOC 0.8 ppm; and Station 0+78 feet,
VOC 3.6 ppm. All of these tests indicate a passing sample. Upon removal of the contaminated soil, clean topsoil
material was placed back into the excavated area and the roadside ditch was reshaped as close as possible to its
original condition and stabilized with seed, mulch, and matting. All absorbent booms and contaminated soil were
disposed of by Eastern Environmental Management, LLC.

Upon your review and acceptance of this report, we consider this petroleum discharge matter closed. If any
questions arise or additional information is needed, please advise.

Sincerely,

NOTICE OF VIOLATION
OF SECTION 10 ARTICLE V OF THE
CITY OF ROCKY MOUNT CODE OF ORDINANCES

Chair & Equipment Rentals
Attn: Mr. Brian James
1530 North Wesleyan Boulevard
Rocky Mount, NC 27804

CERTIFIED MAIL - RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED

Re: Washing/Cleaning Portable Toilets in Colon Drive

Dear Mr. James:

On March 16, 2015, personnel of this office inspected property located at the above address in Rocky
Mount, North Carolina to determine if an illicit discharge into the City of Rocky Mount Stormwater
System had occurred. The inspection revealed the illegal washing/cleaning of portable toilets in Colon
Drive, and thereby at a location that entered into the City of Rocky Mount Stormwater System.

As such, this letter serves as official notification that you are in violation of Section 10 Article V of the
City of Rocky Mount Code of Ordinances (Illegal Discharges into the Stormwater System). You are
responsible for an illicit discharge into the City of Rocky Mount Stormwater System.

The violations that were found are:

 City Ord. No. 10-215(a) was violated by causing or allowing the discharge, emission, disposal, pouring, or
pumping directly or indirectly to any stormwater conveyance, the waters of the state, or upon the land in
such proximity to the same (such that the substance is likely to reach a stormwater conveyance or the
waters of the state), any fluid, solid, gas, or other substance, other than stormwater.

 City Ord. No. 10-215(c) was violated by the storage or disposal of polluting substances, which may be
harmful to biological life, in or near the stormwater system or at a location exposed to wind or rain, which
could transport the substances to the stormwater system.

 City Ord. No. 10-215(e) was violated by throwing, dumping, rolling, or in any manner placing or causing
to be placed any objects or materials in a drainage pipe, culvert, drainage ditch or any other stormwater
carrier receiving street runoff which may cause a blockage, reduction in flow capacity or buildup of excess
nutrients or pollutants.

The following corrective actions are necessary to remedy the violation(s) for which this Notice was sent:

 Remove and properly dispose of all soil and debris in and around the area that was being used to
wash the portable toilets. This includes the storm drains and street.
 In the future, only wash and/or clean the portable toilets in areas that do not drain or potentially
drain into the City of Rocky Mount Stormwater System, such as a wash bay.

The corrective actions noted above must be complete within 3 days from receipt of this notice. It is the
responsibility of the owner of the property to ensure that corrective measures taken are sufficient to
remedy the noted violations prior to the expiration of the compliance period by coordinating with the
City Stormwater Engineer.

Please be advised that if you fail to respond to this notice or if these violations are not corrected by the
end of the compliance period as noted above, the City of Rocky Mount may initiate legal action against
you pursuant to City Ord. No. 10-216. That action could be the assessment of a civil penalty and the
amount may be up to $1,000 per day for each day of each violation. The penalty may be assessed from the

CERTIFIED MAIL - RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED

Re: Wells Fargo Bank - Sunset Avenue Branch

Dear Ms. Osbourne:

As you may be aware, the City of Rocky Mount is proactive in the enforcement of its Stormwater Management
Program. As part of this effort, we have solicited the assistance of employees, contractors, landscapers, and the
general public in identifying possible violations of City ordinances dealing with the stormwater system.

During the past week, a City of Rocky Mount employee observed lawn maintenance personnel blowing grass
clippings onto the street adjacent to the Wells Fargo Bank - Sunset Avenue Branch as part of the lawn maintenance
operation. Please be aware that Section 10-216 (b) 1 of the City of Rocky Mount Code of Ordinances states the
following regarding discharges to the stormwater system:

a. For first time offenders, if the quantity of the discharge is equal to or less than five (5) gallons
and consists of domestic or household products in quantities considered ordinary for household
purposes, said person shall be assessed a civil penalty not to exceed one hundred dollars
($100.00) per violation or per day for any continuing violation, and if the quantity of the
discharge is greater than five (5) gallons or contains non-domestic substances, including but not
limited to process waste water, or if said person cannot provide clear and convincing evidence of
the volume and nature of the substance discharged, said person shall be assessed a civil penalty
not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) per violation or per day for any continuing
violation;
b. For repeat offenders, the amount of the penalty shall be double the amount assessed for the
previous penalty, not to exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) per violation or per day for any
continuing violation;

In the future, please ensure that any grass clippings and debris are cleaned from the street as soon as possible after
maintenance is performed, and are not disposed of in the storm drainage system.

I appreciate your attention to this matter, and your assistance in ensuring that the City’s drainage ways are kept clear
of unnecessary debris. Again, we solicit your cooperation in this matter in order to avoid future enforcement
actions. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at the number below.

A Note about Definitions
Media campaigns are described by special statistics and terminology, which may not be
familiar to the reader. Definitions are therefore included in this report, which were
paraphrased from the following:
Surmanek, Jim. Advertising Media A to Z: The Definitive Resource for
Media Planning, Buying, and Research. New York, McGraw-Hill. 2003.
Webopedia. http://www.webopedia.com. August 10, 2006.

Online links to resources for media definitions can also be found on any of CWEP’s
Outreach web pages (http://www.NCcleanwater.org/outreach/index.php).

A Note about Television Markets and Statistics
Media buyers use specialized compilations of market data, called “books,” to target spots to
specific demographic populations and generate post-campaign statistics. Vendors of ratings
information (usually Nielsen for TV) define a market based on population centers (e.g., the
New Bern market).

The TV station broadcast areas are usually not coterminous with these market regions. This
creates so-called “fringe” markets (usually smaller towns located outside an urban area),
whose broadcast stations may be listed in more than one market book. For example, the City
of Rocky Mount falls into both the Raleigh-Durham and the New Bern markets. As a result,
ratings for Rocky Mount show up in both the Raleigh-Durham and the New Bern books. The
values will differ between books; media sales staff typically use the book with the higher
ratings for that particular buy.

Comparing campaigns over time can be problematic, because different media use different
definitions, because the way that a given book defines its market may change, and because
the way that campaign statistics are presented by the vendor may vary. Despite these
challenges, CWEP’s media buying and campaign analyses continue to become more
sophisticated with time.

CWEP FY15 Partners and Cost Shares

CWEP local government partners share the costs of the program. Each of the partners’ shares is the
sum of a base cost ($2,000 for FY15) and a proportionate cost. Each partner’s proportionate cost is
the product of its population and a per-capita rate ($0.041 per person for FY15; the Steering
Committee continued the discount of the per-capita rate applied in FY10 due to the ongoing
recession). Partner population estimates are the latest official estimates available from the NC State
Demographics unit at the time that cost shares are calculated (FY15 used 2012 certified estimates).

CWEP FY15 Program Budget

The CWEP Steering Committee (consisting one representative from each local
government partner) established CWEP FY15 program cost shares and budget in the fall
of 2014.

For its FY15 mass media outreach program, CWEP conducted a television campaign in fall
2014, a winter cinema pre-show campaign in December 2014, and summer cinema pre-
show campaign in July 2015. In addition, CWEP began development of a new online
advertising campaign by working with Greenroom Communications to develop a new
grass clippings spot that will be use in online advertising in FY16 and beyond. CWEP also
maintained a website providing information to the public on stormwater issues, posted to
our Facebook page, and provided a booth for CWEP partners to take to local events to
educate the public face-to-face. These activities are described in greater detail in the
remainder of this report and also in media campaign-specific summaries available on the
CWEP website under Outreach.

CWEP FY15 TV Campaign Summary

Introduction
CWEP ran a TV campaign in Fall 2014 as part of its Fiscal Year 2014-2015 stormwater
public outreach program. A total of $27,351.28 was spent by the Partnership on
cablecasting for the Fall 2014 campaign.

Spots
One 30-second television spot (advertisement) ran, CWEP’s 2007 “Buffer Improvement”
spot. The spot was tagged with the CWEP spoken tagline (“Clean water begins with you
and me!”) and written URL for the CWEP homepage, which was updated to direct visitors
to information about home yard care.

Campaign
Flights ran in the Triangle and at the Coast on Time Warner Cable and on Suddenlink
Cable for the Coastal Plain area from October 13 through October 26, 2014. The
campaign targeted channels and programs related to home and yard care, e.g., HGTV, as
well as general family entertainment.

Target Audience
The audience targeted for this campaign was adults aged 35–54 who own their own
homes and spend less than $500 per year on lawn care. Research shows that this is the
demographic most likely to do their own yard care (rather than hiring a service) and
because our Buffer Improvement spot was designed to communicate yard care
stewardship concepts to this demographic.

Campaign Performance
Television campaign performance statistics are reported here for the television market’s
population as a whole, not for the target demographic. This is important to note because
campaigns are targeted to reach a particular demographic, which is a smaller base, so the
statistics describing campaign efficiency are generally higher and gross impression count
is lower for the target audience than for the population as a whole. Figures for the target
demographic are available on request for some markets and are used for internal
purposes to evaluate the effectiveness of buys over time and across vendors. For local
government and/or regulatory reporting purposes, figures on the population as a whole
are more readily understood and compared.

Definitions
Impressions: How many times the spot was viewed in the market by members of the
population. (Spots may have been seen more than once by the same person; the
impression count is based on total views regardless of duplication among members of the
audience.) Note that the population counts used by television outlets differ from those
used by CWEP, so impression counts may not be consistent with those shown for
jurisdictions to report on the previous page.

Reach: The percentage of different (unduplicated) individuals in the population exposed
to the spots at least once.

GRPs (Gross Ratings Points): The sum of all ratings delivered by the vendor (broadcast or
cablecast outlet). Each point represents 1% of the viewing audience. GRPs are commonly
added with GRPs for other shows and other outlets, so GRPs may total more than 100.

Frequency: The average number of times persons viewed the spot. This number is
derived by dividing the Gross Rating Points (GRP) by the total non-duplicated audience
(cume).

Bonus spots: Advertisements that the vendor distributed pro bono because they are
public service announcements. Bonus spots are not factored into the figures shown for
Impressions, Gross Ratings Points, and Frequency.

Time Warner Cable provided primary coverage for the Triangle and the Coast. The Triangle
Market includes Apex, Benson, Butner, Carrboro, Cary, Chapel Hill, Chatham County, Clayton,
Creedmoor, Durham, Durham County, Fuquay-Varina, Garner, Goldsboro, Hillsborough, Holly
Springs, Hope Mills, Johnston County, Knightdale, Nash County, Oxford, Raleigh, Rocky Mount,

CWEP FY 15 Winter Cinema
Pre-Show Campaign Summary

Introduction
CWEP ran DENR’s Johnny Fishpatrick spot in CWEP area movie theaters in Winter 2014.
Two cinema networks or “circuits,” National CineMedia and Screenvision, were
purchased to maximize coverage of CWEP Partner jurisdictional areas. This arrangement
with two vendors began in FY13 and improves coverage of our member jurisdictions with
cinema outreach.

This was one of two cinema pre-show campaigns planned for FY15.

Spot
The 30-second Johnny Fishpatrick spot from the NC Department of Environment and
Natural Resources was run in all theaters. This spot conveys general messages about
sources of stormwater pollution and the public’s role in preventing it in a family-friendly
way.

Target Audience
Movie theaters are bought in batches; spots and campaigns cannot be targeted to
individual movies or demographics.

Campaign Locations and Performance
Spots were shown in numerous movie theaters in the CWEP partner area on two circuits,
National CineMedia and Screenvision. Below is a list of each circuit’s theaters and their
locations. Both circuits ran the spot from December 19, 2014 to January 1, 2015. Cinema
flights usually start on Fridays and end on Thursdays.

Please report the statistics for the theater(s) closest to or within your jurisdiction.

Impressions represent how many times the spot was viewed. The impression count is
based on total views and may include some duplicated audience members if moviegoers
attended more than one movie during the campaign.

Impressions were estimated by the vendor based on the number of weeks the spot ran in
the theater and an estimated average number of viewers per screen per week for the
time of year or based on the previous year’s ticket sales. National CineMedia ran our ads
in their lobbies as well, so we assumed that each person saw the spot once in their
theaters’ lobbies and once in the theaters.

CWEP FY15 Website Summary
http://www.NC clean water.org

CWEP’s website is hosted and maintained by Design Hammer, LLC, an independent and
locally owned web service provider that also handled our website redesign in FY2005-
FY2006. The web language coding protocol is PHP. CWEP currently owns three domains:
nccwep.org (our original domain), nccleanwater.com, and NC clean water.org (preferred).

The home page is updated seasonally to correspond to the topic of each media campaign.
Concurrent with most of our media campaigns, we post a poll on our home page asking
visitors what brings them to our site (the media campaign, a search engine, a bookmark,
etc.). These results for this web visitor poll are reported with the respective media
campaign.

CWEP tracks several web metrics to evaluate traffic on our website (i.e., on-site web
analytics). Design Hammer uses a program called NetTracker to measure these web
analytics. The figures below represent traffic on all three domains in total.

Wikipedia has a good explanation of web analytics terms used below. (Due to calculation
methodologies, metrics that may seem like they should sum may not.)

CWEP FY15 Print Outreach

All print materials described below are available online at
http://www.NCcleanwater.org/outreach/print.php.

CWEP Topical Brochures
In FY2012, CWEP produced five topical brochures for Partners to use in their public
education efforts. The topics correspond to the topics on our Booth (household
hazardous waste/oil recycling, yard care, pet waste, and litter) as well as an additional
brochure on riparian buffers. In FY2013, these brochures were translated to Spanish.

CWEP General Stormwater Brochure
The CWEP general stormwater brochure was reprinted in FY15. Copies are available for
partners to distribute. In addition, an electronic copy is available in PDF format on the
CWEP website under “Outreach” and then under “Print.”

CWEP Slicks
CWEP provides “slicks” (see right), pre-made newspaper
advertisements that promote our website and remind citizens that
what they put on their yards ends up in our waterways. Slicks are
generally run simply as filler when a newspaper has a little extra
space. Any CWEP Partner is welcome to submit slicks to their local
news outlets.

Activity: Map Your Watershed
A watershed is the area of land that drains to a com-
mon body of water. Water from rain and snow falls
on the land surface and then drains or seeps into a
wetland, marsh, stream, river, lake or into the
groundwater. Water always runs to the lowest
point in a watershed. Some water soaks into the
ground, where it becomes groundwater. Other
water flows across fields, forests, streets, parking
lots and lawns before it flows into streams, rivers,
lakes and estuaries. This water is called
stormwater runoff. Watersheds are habitats for
plants and animals and are places for peopleto
live, work and play. We depend on water
within our watersheds to supply drinking water
and water for the food we eat.
North Carolina’s River Basins
North Carolina has 17 river basins. Each is
made up of smaller watersheds. Rivers from
these 17 river basins flow into either the Gulf
of Mexico or Atlantic Ocean. The Eastern
Continental Divide separates the watersheds of
these two huge water bodies. A continental divide
is a line of mountains or hills that form a border
between two watersheds. Water that falls on one
side of the line eventually travels to one ocean
Look at a city or county map and locate the stream nearest your school. Next, use a topographic map and find the stream on that map. Find and mark
your school on the topographic map. Look for other creeks that feed into your stream. Where do they start? Using the contour lines (lines that show ele-
vation) on your topographic map, find the highest hills around your stream. Draw a line connecting the tops of the hills around your stream. Draw blue
arrows on your map that will show how water runs downhill from the tops of the hills toward your stream. The land area that drains into your stream is
your watershed. Where does your stream end? Your stream should drain into a larger body of water – a pond, river, lake or the ocean.
or estuary. Water that falls on the other side trav-
els to another ocean or estuary. The New, Watau-
ga, French Broad, Little Tennessee and Hiwassee
river basins flow to the Mississippi River and even-
tually to the Gulf of Mexico. All other river basins
in North Carolina flow to the Atlantic Ocean.
Everyone lives in a watershed. Which river basin
do you live in? Where does the water flowing in
your creeks and rivers end up?
A Healthy River Basin
A healthy river basin can help people in many ways.
When a river basin functions properly, it
can capture water when there is a storm. The
water soaks into the ground instead of flooding the
land. From there it can slowly release through
streams, rivers and wetlands. When stormwater
flows across the land, it picks up eroded soil,
leaves, oil, fertilizers, pesticides and anything else
in its way. Sediment and chemicals can pollute the
river, stream or lake where the water ends up. The
health of a river basin is affected by the people liv-
ing within its borders and the choices they make
every day.
People can take action to reduce the pollution
that ends up in stormwater. Building ponds
and wetlands helps reduce the amount of
stormwater that runs off, which can reduce
flooding.Other actions, like using rain barrels
and preventing erosion, can conserve water
that may be needed in a drought.

Activity: Be a Rainwater Detective!
So, we learned that a healthy watershed soaks up and
stores water when it rains. This helps prevent floods.
Hard, or impervious, surfaces cause stormwater to flow
quickly over the ground, directly into creeks, streams
and rivers. Undeveloped land, like forests, fields and
wetlands, allows water to soak into the ground.
Wetlands are especially important parts of the water-
shed. A wetland is just what the word says – wet land.
An area of land that is covered with water part or all
of the year can be considered a wetland. When it rains,
the soil and mud of a wetland act like a sponge and store
the extra water. If wetlands are developed into shop-
ping malls, office buildings or even houses, the soil is
no longer able to soak up water.
The more impervious surfaces in an area – such as parking lots, roads,
rooftops, carports, driveways and sidewalks – the more water will run off instead
of sinking into the ground. In fact, in developed areas with lots of impervious surface, excess runoff can overload storm sewers and drainage
ditches quickly. A local flood is the result. This is why urban areas can flood even though the same amount of rainfall in a rural area will
not cause a flood.
Too much stormwater flowing into creeks and rivers is definitely a problem. However, the quality of the water is important, too. Stormwater runoff can
pick up pollution as it flows over the ground. Pollution may be something we can easily see like litter or leaves, or something that’s harder to see, like
motor oil left on the driveway from a leaky car or bacteria in pet waste left on the ground. Bare soil can be washed away by quickly moving stormwater
runoff into creeks. This process is called erosion. Eroded soil is the No. 1 pollutant in North Carolina’s water.
Here are some things people can do to keep stormwater from getting polluted:
• Wash the car over gravel or grass so the dirty water soaks into the ground rather than running into the storm drain.
• Don’t litter and encourage others not to litter.
• Compost leaves so they don’t end up in stormwater runoff and clog storm drains.
• Plant flowers or grass on bare ground so the soil doesn’t wash away when it rains.
Plants help to anchor soil in place, reducing erosion.
The next time it rains, put on your rain gear and go out and explore stormwater in action with an adult. What happens to the rain that falls on or around
your school? Where does the water that falls on the roof go? What about water on the parking lot? Can you see water flowing in the natural areas
around your school? Does the water gather in any one place, or does it keep moving? Where do you think the moving water is going? Do you see any
erosion taking place? Do you see any places that the stormwater can pick up pollution? Think about ways you or your classmates can reduce the quan-
tity of water that flows off your school campus. Also, see if you can come up with ways to reduce any sources of pollution you see.

problems related to storm-
water runoff. What recent
events or activities in our area do

to creeks, rivers, lakes and
streams? What do you think can
be done in the future to lessen
the severity of damage from
events or activities like these?

Activity: Graphing Water Levels
We know that too much water can be a problem, but
sometimes our communities can be in trouble because
we have too little water to go around. When we don’t
have enough water to meet the demand, scientists call
that a drought. Most of us think of a drought as “no
rainfall," but it's not that simple. Drought is when there
is less rainfall than was expected over an extended
period of time, usually several months or longer.
Drought can be caused by a lack of rainfall, a lack of
snowfall from mountains far away or simply when
water supplies aren't enough to meet everybody's
needs. It starts and ends slowly, and for that reason
it has been called a “creeping phenomenon.” It's
hard to tell when a drought begins and ends, but by
watching various indicators of drought, like water
levels in streams and reservoirs, soil moisture or the
amount of rainfall an area has received, we can keep
track of drought conditions.
When drought occurs, it can have serious impacts. That's
because water is an important part of so many of our
activities. Think about all the ways that you use water
every day! Water is needed for people, wildlife and
plants to be healthy. We need it to wash dishes, grow food,
cool engines and produce electricity. People use water
for recreation, swimming, fishing and canoeing. When we
don't have enough water for these activities, there will
almost always be a negative impact.
The bottom line is that during periods of drought, the
amount of available water is reduced. So, we must use
water wisely and conserve it so that there is enough
available to meet our basic needs until rainfall amounts
return to normal.

Each day for four weeks record the daily rainfall, minimum temperature and maximum temperature for your city. You can find this information from
the State Climate Office of North Carolina at http://www.nc-climate.ncsu.edu/cronos/. Graph the data using a line graph. Do you see any trends in
your graphs? Are any of them relevant to drought? You could also gather this information specifically for your schoolyard. You’ll need a rain gauge and
a digital thermometer that can track minimum and maximum temperatures. You can get both of these items at your local hardware store. Set them
up in your schoolyard. The thermometer should not be in direct sunlight at any time of the day. The rain gauge should be out in the open with noth-
ing hanging over it.
In the News
Look in the weather section of today's
newspaper. Do you see areas where
predicted weather may cause storm-
water runoff problems? Is there any-
thing residents there can do to prepare?
Using ads and articles in your newspa-
per, find products or activities that
cause problems for our streams, rivers,
or the ocean. List each activity, its cause,
potential problems, and action being
taken to improve the situation. Can
you think of additional solutions to the
problem? Which activity do you think
will have the most serious effects? Why?

Never a Drop to Waste
Can you imagine having to carry your water, bucket by bucket, from a spring, well or river into your house or out to the garden? It’s quite possible that
not too long ago, one of your great-grandparents had to do that every day. A good solution for many folks, then and now, is to catch or harvest rainwater
and store it for later use. Storing water keeps potential stormwater runoff from ever reaching the storm drain system, can prevent erosion and lets you
save water to use when conditions are dry.
Harvesting Rainwater
Using a barrel to catch water when it rains is one of the simplest, cheapest ways to conserve water. A rain barrel is simply a storage system that captures
water running off your roof when it rains. You then have a barrel full of water you can use to water your garden or houseplants, instead of using water that
has been treated for drinking. If your city or town bans watering during times of dry weather, it may be the ONLY way to avoid watching your outdoor
plants wilt.
Here’s how it works: Gutters collect water that is flowing down a sloped roof. The gutter sends
the water to a downspout, which is supposed to release the water away from the house.
You place the rain barrel underneath the downspout, so the water flows into the
barrel instead of into your yard. The top of the barrel has a hole a little
larger than the downspout and is covered with screening to
keep out large debris and bugs. On the side of the
barrel towards the bottom there is a spigot
to which a hose can be attached for
watering plants. You can even connect
several barrels together to handle
overflow once your
first barrel is full.
How much water you actually collect depends on
how much it rains and the size of the roof. One inch
of rain falling on an average house would result in
more than 600 gallons of water running off the roof.
You could fill more than 18 bathtubs with that much
water! Most rain barrels hold somewhere between
50 gallons and 100 gallons of water. An average house
would need either a group of rain-barrels linked
together or a largercontainer to capture the water.
A cistern may be the solution if you want to harvest
as much stormwater as you can. Cisterns are
similar to rain barrels, only they hold more water
and usually can not be moved once installed.
Cisterns can be buried in the ground or attached
to the side of the house and are usually attached to
your downspout and gutters. They can hold thousands
of gallons of water depending on their size.
✥ The average residence uses more than 100,000
gallons of water (indoors and outside) each year.

What is a River Basin?
A river basin is the portion of land drained by a
river and its tributaries. Everyone in North Caro-
lina lives in one of the state’s seventeen river basins.
Even if your home is not near a river, the water that
falls there drains to a lake, creek, or stream that
connects to a larger body of water. Topography
determines each of the river basins. Just as a bath-
tub drains all of the water that falls within its sides, a
river basin drains all of the water landing in it to a
particular river and then eventually to an
estuary or the ocean.CMYK10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 906X, , 20016: STORMWATER AND YOU, September 2006, Sponsored by the N.C. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
People influence
what happens in their river
basin, good or bad, by how
they treat the natural resources – the soil, water, air, plants, and
animals. As water moves downstream, it carries and redeposits gravel,
sand, and silt. Water also transfers bacteria, chemicals, organic matter, and
excess nutrients. Whatever happens to the surface water or groundwater
upstream will eventually affect downstream systems. Therefore, the health
of the aquatic ecosystem is directly related to activities on land.

Schoolyards and backyards are wonderful places to practice using water wise-
ly. Did you know that with a little work, you can create a beautiful garden
that doesn’t use a lot of water? You can do this using the principles of xeriscap-
ing (zeer-i-scape-ing). Xeriscaping comes from the Greek word “xeros,”
which means dry. It’s not “zeroscaping,” which uses mostly rocks and very
few plants to cover the ground. Instead, a good xeriscape design uses
plants that can grow in hot weather with only small amounts of water once
they are established. The main reason to xeriscape is to conserve water.
People sometimes overwater their lawn by as much as 40 percent. Using
less water is especially important in drought-prone regions such as North
Carolina, but conserving water isn’t something to do only during a drought.
Any time water is wasted, people like your parents still have to pay to have
water treated for use in our houses and yards.
Xeriscaping is based on a few concepts that are fairly easy to put into action
as long as you plan ahead when you design your garden area. Where you
put plants and how you group them in your backyard or schoolyard is
important. The way you water your plantings is important, too. Here are
a few basics to remember when xeriscaping:
Only use grass in areas where it works best — large, relatively flat stretch-
es of ground. Don’t grow grass on narrow paths, along foundations or
on steep slopes.
Use drought-tolerant, native plants. This means that these plants are
adapted to weather conditions in your area. They can stand up to the
hot weather that we often have in the summer time.
Use mulch. Compost makes wonderful mulch. A two-inch-to-four-inch
blanket of mulch helps conserve water by keeping the soil moist. Mulch
also protects plant roots from overheating and prevents erosion.
Water early in the morning or late in the evening to reduce evapora-
tion. If you use sprinklers, avoid watering on windy or rainy days and
adjust them so they do not water paved areas.
Use a system that delivers water slowly and directly to the roots of plants.
These systems lose little water to evaporation and runoff. A soaker hose
is one example of a drip system that brings water directly to plants.
Use barrels to collect rain water, and use this water on your yard. Only
about one percent of water coming from a water treatment center is
actually used for drinking. With a rain barrel, you’re not using drinking
water on your yard.
Here are a few plants native to North Carolina that will stand up to our
summer heat:

Activity: Classroom Composting
Composting
Have you have ever
walked in a forest and
kicked away a layer of
dead leaves? That rich,
dark, sweet-smelling earth
underneath is compost!
Compost is rich, organic
soil that is made by
microorganisms such as
bacteria and fungi. These
microorganisms break
down leaves, twigs and
other organic matter. As
the organic matter breaks
down into smaller and smaller
pieces, plant roots can take up the nutrients.
Compost can make grass greener, tomatoes bigger
and bushes fuller.
Why Compost?
First and foremost, you will keep useful materials
out of the landfill. You can use compost instead of
chemical fertilizer on garden plants. Compost
helps those plants grow and keeps extra nutrients
from running into creeks and rivers when it rains.
If you use compost as mulch in your garden, it will
help the soil stay moist so you don’t need to water
as much.
Recipe for Compost
Building a compost pile is like topping a pizza. Many
ingredients can be used, but some work better
than others! To create the right environment for
the microorganisms that decompose waste, com-
post a balanced mixture of brown stuff (dry dead
plant material), which is high in carbon, green stuff
(fresh plant parts), which is high in nitrogen, air
and water. Don't use meat or milk products because
pets and other animals may try to dig them out of
the ground. Also, avoid diseased garden plants.
They can spread disease back into the garden later
when you use the compost.
*You may want to use grasscycling to recycle grass
clippings.
Grasscycling is the natural decomposition of grass
clippings left on the lawn after mowing. This process
lets you leave clippings where they are cut instead
of raking and bagging them. As the clippings decom-
pose, they create a layer of nutrients that keep the
soil cool and prevent it from losing moisture. This
creates less work for you, saves water, money and
time, and recycles nutrients back into the soil. It’s
a win-win situation!

Worms are great at decomposing the food waste that people leave behind. To make a worm bin for the classroom, drill holes in a large plastic container.
This will let in air for the worms and allow excess water to drain out of the box. Next, add damp, shredded newspaper to the bin, until it is about three-
quarters full. Add a handful of soil to the newspaper. Now, you’re ready to add the worms. Red wigglers (Eisenia foetida) are recommended. You can
find these at a local bait store. It is a good idea to start with between 50 worms and 100 worms. Start feeding your worms food waste slowly to see
how much they can handle. Stick to fruit and vegetable scraps, bread products or coffee grounds. Don’t feed them meat or milk products! Each time
you add food, place it in a different spot in the bin. Keep the bin closed and make sure the worms don’t dry out. It is a good idea to keep a spray bot-
tle next to the bin to keep the worms moist. Congratulations, you are composting!

Compost yard and kitchen waste.5. Catch rainwater in barrels or cisterns.6. Wash the car on a pervious surface.7. Create backyard habitat areas that have less lawn.
Exercise I. How Does Rain Become Runoff?
A Rural Example

An Urban Example

Useful words to know. Define the following:

Impervious

Infiltration

Evaporation

Interception

Puddling

Runoff
Questions About the Rural and Urban Examples
Name the places where rainwater was intercepted.

Where could the water have pooled on the surface?

Where could the rainwater have infiltrated?

The Day After the Storm
Water does not just stay where it lands. The day after the storm, what has probably happened to
the water from the following places?

• Tree and shrub leaves:

• Surface ponds:

• Surface puddles:

• A grassy field:

• The forest floor:

Exercise II.
Whenever an area is developed, grassy meadows and fields are replaced by houses, shopping
malls, and commercial and industrial buildings. The fields and meadows where rainwater could
infiltrate are replaced by impervious buildings and streets.
Whenever natural areas are replaced by impervious surfaces, the rain that falls in an average
rainstorm is forced to behave differently.
• More rainfall can become runoff because less infiltration and interception takes place. In
urban areas, a small storm event can result in a large amount of runoff because there are
not many places that catch rainwater and allow it to soak into the ground.
• The larger amount of runoff is forced to fit into existing stream channels. For this to
happen, the runoff water must travel faster in the stream channel. The larger amount of
water and the faster speed at which the water travels increase the risk of flooding
downstream.
• The faster-moving water in the streams erodes stream channels and carries sediment
downstream.
• The runoff picks up pollutants from streets and sidewalks. Because there is less vegetated
surface in an urban setting, the pollution is less likely to be filtered out of the water
before it is carried downstream to other waterbodies.
Helping Water Behave Naturally
Many new urbanization projects, such as housing developments or shopping malls, have storage
ponds built in a corner, as part of the landscaping, or behind the main construction. The ponds
store the water that runs off parking lots and paved areas. These ponds benefit the area by
reducing the amount of water that streams need to carry after a rain event and allowing water to
infiltrate into the ground and recharge groundwater supplies.
Designing a Better Neighborhood
Where does the water go? How is it collected? Are there pipes that convey the water down into a
storage pond?

What happens to the water in the storage pond if it rains excessively? Is there a spillway for the
storage basin?

If all the water from the parking lot runs off into the storage basin, and only a small amount of
the water is being infiltrated into the ground, what would happen to the groundwater in the area?
Redesign Your Schoolyard for Low-Impact Development

1. Draw a sketch of your school and its property from a bird's eye view (top down). In the sketch,
label the areas that are impervious, that are somewhat impervious, and that allow water
infiltration. (If you completed the Infiltration at Your School section of Exercise I, you will
already have a sketch of your school.)

2. In a second sketch, use some low-impact development practices to redesign your schoolyard.
Label all the low-impact development practices you used to help infiltrate runoff from
impervious surfaces around your school.
