NPDES Phase II — Comprehensive Stormwater Management Program Report
City of Kannapolis, North Carolina
1. STORM SEWER SYSTEM INFORMATION
1.1. Population Served
The City of Kannapolis MS4 serves approximately 37,000 residents, all of who are permanent
residents. The City has no seasonal populace.
1.2. Growth Rate
Based on the decennial census data (1990 and 2000), the City of Kannapolis is increasing at
an annualized rate of 2.4 percent. Growth is expected to accelerate to more than 3% per
year through 2010. Population projections place the 2010 Kannapolis population at 50,087
and the 2025 population at 70,963. The estimates are very conservative in that they do not
account for the potential for aggressive annexation to the east and west.
1.3. Jurisdictional and MS4 Area Served
The City of Kannapolis jurisdictional area currently encompasses 35.28 square miles, of
which 4.74 square miles is Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) and 0.83 square miles is water
area. The MS4 serves 30.54 square miles, which does not include the ETJ or water areas.
1.4. MS4 Conveyance System
The City of Kannapolis Stormwater System consists of a combination of piping; open
vegetated conveyances, and sheet flow. Per the City Unified Development Ordinance, all
new city streets constructed by private developers must have curb and gutter stormwater
systems, and structural BMPs to handle stormwater runoff for developments over 20,000
square feet of impervious area are required. The system is maintained by the Streets
Department, which is a function of the Public Works Department.
1.5. Land Use Composition Estimates
Residential:
65%
Commercial:
12%
Industrial:
08%
Open Space:
15%
1.6. Estimate Methodoloov
The land use composition estimates were calculated from the City's current zoning map, then
open space was estimated is based on the combined areas of City maintained parks,
cemeteries and greenways and water supplies.
1.7. TMDL Identification
The City of Kannapolis has received no TMDL notification for this permit cycle.

7. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
7.1. Public Education and Outreach on Storm Water Impacts
Program Requirement: Implement a public education program to distribute educational
materials to the community or conduct equivalent outreach activities about the impacts of
storm water discharges on water bodies and the steps that the public can take to reduce
pollutants in storm water runoff.

7.1.2. Target Audience
The target audiences for the education program include the general public (newspaper
editorials), school children, Internet users, and existing utility customers. These
audiences were chosen because they represent a broad cross section of Kannapolis's
residents, businesses, and industries. School children are probably the most
impressionable audience and the one most open to a message about pollution
prevention. Take-home materials are also helpful since they encourage discussions
between children and their parents concerning stormwater issues. Utility bill inserts are
an inexpensive way to reach a large number of business and industrial clients. The
Page 6

SWU-268-103102

NPDES Phase II — Comprehensive Stormwater Management Program Report
City of Kannapolis, North Carolina
Internet provides open access to all members of the public that desire more detailed
information on the stormwater program.
7.1.3. Target Pollutant Sources
Pollutant sources targeted in this control measure include those sources or activities that
produce trash, floatables, chemicals and waste oils, fecal coliform and sediment/erosion.
To address targeted sources, stormwater pollution prevention messages will be targeted
to various groups. For children, the messages will focus on pollutant sources that are
easy to see and understand (e.g. trash, floatables). There will also be an effort toward
helping children understand the nature of the storm sewer system (i.e. the water which
goes down the storm drain is not treated before it enters the river). Messages targeted
to industry will focus on good pollution prevention strategies and will emphasize that,
through the Good Housekeeping/Pollution Prevention Minimum Control Measure, the
City is acting as an example to industry. The Utility Bill Inserts will target homeowners
with messages directed to proper disposal of hazardous waste and proper use of lawn
and garden chemicals. Faulty septic systems and related fecal coliform problems will be
included as a topic on the Stormwater microsite.
7.1.4. Outreach Program
The program, as referenced in the BMP Table 7.1.1, will include newspaper opinion
pieces written by the City Manager or guest editorialists and will present the City
viewpoint on Stormwater Management issues. This is a widely read column and is a
good venue to provide the public a first look at Stormwater issues. The existing school
information packet program will be expanded to include age -targeted messages related
to Stormwater pollution prevention. This will include information about how children
and their parents can get involved in existing Cabarrus County pollution prevention
efforts (see section 7.2 for these public involvement activities). The Utility Bill inserts will
present brief messages in a format with which the public is already familiar. Billings to
businesses and industry may contain more detailed and targeted messages. The web
microsite will be a general repository for contact information and easily accessible City
documents related to Stormwater. The City expects to reach about 20,000 people with
some Stormwater related message over the 5-year permit term.
7.1.5. Decision Process
The City decided to use the methods described in Table 7.1.1 because these present the
best balance between cost and effective education. The City conducted a review of all
existing or anticipated education efforts and chose those that would reach a broad
audience. While other education techniques may be explored for future use, they were
not included in this permit application because Kannapolis has not yet had sufficient
experience to know if they would be effective. The four BMPs chosen are all existing,
well proven, methods by which the City communicates with its citizens. The measurable
goals are directly related to the target audiences the City would like to reach. The
responsible party for carrying out BMP 1 is the City Manager since it involves a
newspaper column regularly written by the City Manager. The City manager could
designate another party to write about specific Stormwater issues where appropriate.

SWU-268-103102

NPDES Phase II — Comprehensive Stormwater Management Program Report
City of Kannapolis, North Carolina
BMPs 2-4 are the responsibility of the Public Information Officer since that individual
was already involved in communicating with the public via those methods.
7.1.6. Evaluation
Kannapolis plans to create an internal ad hoc committee including the Assistant City
Manager, Public Works Director, Engineering Technician, Public Information Officer and
other interested parties to annually review all measurable goals to determine if they are
being effectively met and if the BMPs are still the best choice to attain the overall
objective. Any needed changes will be proposed in the annual report to DWQ.

NPDES Phase II — Comprehensive Stormwater Management Program Report
City of Kannapolis, North Carolina
7.3.2. Storm Sewer System Map
The City's current storm sewer map is a combination of maps on paper (old sections of
City) and electronic CAD files (for newer developments and neighborhoods). This
information will provide the baseline for developing an updated electronic mapping
effort that will include, at a minimum; coordinates of outfalls and their receiving waters.
The effort may include other existing electronic data, if such data can be readily
incorporated. Outfalls will be located with standard surveying procedures (either
conventional or GPS [Global Positioning System]). If funding becomes available as the
permit term proceeds, the City will entertain mapping other portions of the MS4, as well.
The City is also hopeful that other pursuits, such as the integration of the mapping
effort into a Geographic Information System (GIS), can be utilized, though it does not
possess those capabilities presently.
7.3.3. Regulatory Mechanism
Over the next two years, the City will develop a comprehensive ordinance enabling this
and other stormwater management program initiatives. The mechanism will provide for
definition and prohibition of illicit non-stormwater discharge, inspection for and
elimination of such discharge. The ordinance will be in effect by March 10, 2005.
7.3.4. Enforcement
The ordinance will provide for enforcement actions to be taken for illicit discharge
Violations, including levying penalties against offenders and providing compensatory
measures to the City should intervention and removal of the discharge become
necessary. The enforcement methodology will involve notification of the property
owner, establishing a reasonable timeframe in which to address the occurrence, and
issuance of notices of violation and fines.
7.3.5. Detection and Elimination
The City's proposed approach to detect and eliminate illicit discharges will start with a
general evaluation of the system. The evaluations will primarily be dry outfall mapping
(greater than 72 hours without rainfall), conducted during prolonged dry periods
(typically during the summer months over the permit cycle). A complete evaluation
process will begin by subdividing the City into sections to be mapped and evaluated
simultaneously. As the evaluation of each section is completed, the effort in that
section will move to illicit discharge source determination. Once a discharge is detected,
the property owner will be notified of the corrective action required. The City realizes
that it does not currently have the staff required to effectively perform this task, and will
entertain either the addition of inspection staff, or hiring an outside consultant to assist
in this endeavor.
7.3.5.1. Procedures for Locating Priority Areas
The aging infrastructure that centers on the Canon Mill Village is a location of
interest to the City, as this portion of the system is very old and likely contains a
number of illicit connections. System wide, dry weather evaluations of storm
Page 10

SWU-268-103102

NPDES Phase II — Comprehensive Stormwater Management Program Report
City of Kannapolis, North Carolina
sewer outfalls will be conducted to identify potential problems areas. Secondly,
on -site inspections will be conducted in conjunction with annual Fire Department
Hazardous Materials Inspections or annual Backflow Prevention program.
7.3.5.2. Procedures for Tracing the Source
The City will train employees on illegal dumping, illicit discharge and ways to
identify illicit connections. Upon discovery of dry weather flow, the survey will
document the location and attempt to follow the flow upstream and through the
system to its source. The City will use several different methods to identify illicit
connections including smoke testing and camera scooping, as available. It is
anticipated that tracing suspect discharge through the system will begin in Year
three.
7.3.5.3. Procedures for Removing Source
Discovered sources will be documented and the property owner will be notified
of the necessary remedial measures and timeframe in which to complete them.
In the case of fecal coliform discharge, the Cabarrus Health Alliance and the
Rowan County Health Department will be notified.
7.3.5.4. Procedures for Evaluation of the Plan
The number of illicit discharges/connections found and notified, and the number
of those removed will be documented.

7.3.7. Other Incidental Non-Stormwater Discharge
Other incidental non-stormwater discharge: Occasional, non-commercial car washing
(e.g. charity events, churches, etc.) will be allowed. Limitations on the frequency of
events (estimated three times per year) and location (prohibited within critical
watershed areas) will be instituted.
7.3.8. Outreach
A major constituent will be to inform the public about the hazards of illicit discharge and
illegal dumping through the methods discussed in the Public Education component. A
significant focus of the Education Program will be to create an awareness of the direct
relationship between the MS4 and the local streams. This information will be integrated
into the training program that will be developed.
7.3.9. Decision Process
The program approach for illicit discharge detection and elimination was developed as
the most effective way to meet the requirements of the measure with the amount of
available funding the City currently anticipates. Mapping, ordinance measures,
employee training and public awareness are developed first to provide a foundation for
the program. After some mapping is completed and employees trained, then the
detection and elimination portions of the program can proceed. Realistic expectations
were used to formulate BMPs, the implementation schedule, and measurable goals. The
responsible person for the program is the Public Works Director delegating authorities to
the Public Information Officer and the Engineering Technician.
7.3.10. Evaluation
Kannapolis plans to create an internal ad hoc committee including the Assistant City
Manager, Director of Public Works, Engineering Technician, Public Information Officer
and other interested parties to annually review all measurable goals to determine if they
are being effectively met and if the BMPs are still the best choice to attain the overall
objective. Any needed changes will be proposed in the annual report to DWQ.

7.4. Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control
The City of Kannapolis will rely on the NC Department of Environment and Natural
Resources Sediment and Erosion Control Program and DWQ general stormwater permit,
along with the North Carolina General Construction Permit for its construction activities to
meet this requirement
7.S. Post -Construction Storm Water Management in New Development and
Redevelopment
Program Requirements: At a minimum you must:
• Develop, implement and adopt by ordinance a post -construction stormwater management
program to address post -construction runoff from new development and redevelopment
projects that disturb greater than or equal to one acre, including projects less than one -
acre that are part of a larger common plan of development or sale, that discharge into the
MS4 or into an interconnected MS4.
• Develop and implement strategies which include a combination of structural and/or non-
structural best management practices (BMPs) appropriate for your community;
• Begin program implementation by March 10, 2005;
• The program shall require all projects that meet the appropriate size limitations to apply for
a locally issued permit under one of the following parameters:
o Low Density Projects: Projects shall be permitted as low density if the project
meets the following conditions:
I. No more than 2 dwelling units per acre or 24 percent built -upon
area (BUA) for all residential and non-residential development;
II. Stormwater runoff from the development shall be transported from
the development by vegetated conveyances to the maximum
extent practicable;
III. All BUA shall be at a minimum of 30 feet landward of all perennial
and intermittent surface waters;
IV. The permit shall require recorded deed restrictions and protective
covenants to ensure that development activities maintain the
development consistent with the approved project plans. The
changes in deed restrictions and protective covenants will
supercede all existing restrictions and covenants.
o High Density Projects: Projects exceeding the low density threshold shall
implement stormwater control measures that:
I. Control and treat the difference in stormwater runoff volume
leaving the project site between the pre and post development
conditions for the 1 year 24 hour storm. Runoff volume drawdown
time shall be a minimum of 24 hours but no more than 120 hours;

7.5.2. Non -Structural BMPs
Kannapolis Unified Development Ordinance (UDO):
The Development Ordinance requires open space set -asides in certain zoning
districts, mainly residential.
Currently maintains zoning and development overlay districts to safeguard sensitive
areas including watersheds and wetlands. Site design and development criteria
within these districts are enhanced.
Buffer and landscape requirements are mandated for all new development.
Greenway planning is set forth in the Cabarrus County Livable Communities
Blueprint and all applicable sub -division developments are required to provide
adequate connections to these greenways in the form of open space set -asides.
A 30 foot undisturbed buffer plus no less than an additional 20 foot structural
setback is currently required for perennial streams
7.5.3. Structural BMPs
The UDO currently prescribes development that exceeds 20,000 square feet of
impervious coverage to maintain the pre -development runoff discharge from the 2-year
and 10-year design storm events. Structural BMP design is wholly adopted from the
Charlotte -Mecklenburg Storm Water Design Manual (July 8, 1993). The current
ordinance exempts residential subdivisions, and has no qualifier for disturbed area.
7.5.4. Regulatory Mechanism
The approach the City will use to develop its Stormwater Ordinance post -construction
development controls will address the required elements of the North Carolina
temporary rule. The new mechanism will address intermittent stream buffers, the
Page 15

SWU-268-103102

NPDES Phase II — Comprehensive Stormwater Management Program Report
City of Kannapolis, North Carolina
delineation of Low- and High -Density development projects, and the provision for
applicable plan review and permitting in accordance with the requirements. BMP and
site design criteria will be drawn from that set forth in the North Carolina model
ordinance to be developed for Phase II communities. Amendments to the City's UDO,
will be required for post -construction management, and the relevant portions of the
forthcoming Stormwater Ordinance will be incorporated into existing documents by
reference. More stringent site design and plat acceptance criteria will also be reviewed
in an effort to further reduce the number of on -site wastewater treatment systems
installed in new development.
The Ordinance will be developed, appropriately reviewed, and adopted by Kannapolis
City Council by March 10, 2005
7.5.5. Operation and Maintenance
The UDO currently mandates inspection and maintenance of structural BMPs, allowing
for property assessment if the City must maintain the structure, but does not require
inspection by a qualified professional, yearly reporting, or certification. It is the City's
intent that all long-term maintenance activities will be the responsibility of the property
owner or a homeowner's association. The current reporting, notification, and
enforcement mechanism will be updated to more efficiently provide for corrective action
procedures against BMP owners in violation of set standards. Designated City staff
members will be responsible for obtaining annual maintenance inspection reports from
qualified professionals, and will report the number of inspections, notifications and
corrective actions completed in the annual report.
The program will also coordinate with the Cabarrus Health Alliance and the Rowan
County Health Department to assess measures to control sources of fecal coliform.
7.5.6. Decision Process
City staff and Council -appointed members have been involved in the Cabarrus Regional
Technical and Stakeholder committees consisting of other municipalities, agencies, and
interested parties who have been working on the Phase II issues for the past six
months. This quorum of opinion has helped to direct the City's effort toward
formulating its approach to this measure. With the UDO in place, the City reviewed the
recommendations of the committees within the current framework of staffing and
resources. The priority for the City is to meet the minimum program requirements by
March 10, 2005, and then as the program progresses, assess the viability of moving
toward the more comprehensive regional approach over the life of the program. The
UDO already contains some measures that are similar to Phase II rules (watershed and
wetlands overlay district requirements), so a program to meet minimum requirements
will be easily implemented. Cooperative strategies between the City and both the
Cabarrus Health Alliance and the Rowan County Health Department will need to be
developed to effectively handle the issue of controlling fecal coliform bacteria.

Street Sweeping
7.6.3 Training
Municipal employee training for various City Departments will be held yearly beginning
in year three. Particular emphasis will be placed on the Public Works Department and
target street sweeping, chemical application, mowing and clearing activities, automotive
fluid and chemical disposal, etc. Informational materials available from the State will be
used to inform City employees about stormwater, how to report violations, and good
housekeeping measures for municipal operations. Training may also be available from
such resources as a local or regional hazardous spill response team, or the fire
department.
7.6.4 Maintenance and Inspections
The City will implement Standard Operating Procedures for its facilities that cover the
correct method of conducting individual operations at the facility. To reduce pollutants
in the MS4, the Public Works Department provides street sweeping for all City -
maintained streets. Street sweeping activities are regular, but are not scheduled. City
employees clean storm sewer piping on an as needed basis, at present. The City is
hopeful that it can set up a regular schedule of preventative maintenance operations for
the system in the first permit term.
7.6.5 Vehicular Operations
The street sweeper is used on an as needed basis to clean all City -maintained parking
lots. Salt storage areas are covered under a permanent structure.

7.6.6 Waste Disposal
All waste collected from the storm sewer system is deposited in dumpsters, collected
and hauled by a contracted waste disposal service to the CMS Landfill.
7.6.7 Flood Management Projects
The City currently institutes development standards to prohibit building in flood -prone
areas. The City's program coordinates with the Federal Emergency Management
Association on flood control measures.
7.6.8 Existing ordinances
Existing ordinances and programs are subject to review by staff and City Council.
7.6.9 Decision Process
The pollution prevention plan was developed through recognition of existing policies and
practices that impact water quality, and systematically addressing each individually. The
deficiencies in these policies were noted and incorporated into the BMP's. Important
factors considered were the requirement of employee training, Standard Operating
Procedures, and documenting current functions of municipal operations that have
impact on water quality.
7.6.10 Evaluation
Kannapolis plans to create an internal ad hoc committee including the Assistant City
Manager, Public Works Director, Engineering Technician, Public Information Officer and
other interested parties to annually review all measurable goals to determine if they are
being effectively met and if the BMPs are still the best choice to attain the overall
objective. Any needed changes will be proposed in the annual report to DWQ.
