SUBJECT: Inspection-NPDES Stormwater Compliance
Permit No. NCS000427
Dear Mr. Flynn:
This document provides a summary of the compliance inspection conducted by the
Division of Water Quality on May 9, 2007, The Town of Cary has done an effective job
managing stormwater under the conditions of their permit. All of the six minimum measures
had innovative and effective measures that exceeded the permit requirements including the
Block Leader program, bi-annual surveys, detailed maps for tracking illicit discharge
detection and elimination program, ongoing dry weather stream walks and a very aggressive
and effective construction program. The Town recently completed a survey of municipal
operations and in the process of completing a comprehensive evaluation of municipal
operations, and although no deficiencies were observed the Town has taken the initiative to
upgrading stormwater pollution prevention measures.
During the inspection staff indicated that city buses are fueled at the Fleet
Maintenance facility. Coverage under the general permit, NCG08,'is applicable to all owners
or operators of stormwater point source discharges associated with activities that have
vehicle maintenance areas, including fueling, associated with activities classified Local and
Suburban Transit and Interurban Highway Passenger Transportation, The Town has
submitted a Notice of Intent for coverage under NCG08 for the fleet maintenance facility. At
the time of the inspection, the state had not issued a certificate of coverage. However, the
Town has taken the initiative to develop and implement the permit requirements. Currently,
the Town is implementing components of a SWPPP for the facility under our Phase II permit
issued in July 2005,
The Town of Cary has also taken the initiative to report all SSO's reaching
stormdrains or surface waters to the town's stormwater section. The town took the initiative
to developed a process to ensure copies of spills and resolution, follow up reports and SSO
prevention and pre-treatment education and enforcement documentation are available to
regulatory officials for review. SSO's are being mapped on GIS and tracked for areas with
recurring issues that need further investigation and follow up.

square feet that have a potential to impact water quality, are documented under work orders.

stormwater controls to some developing areas around these municipalities.

Additional Information Request
Dear Mr. Coleman:
After a review of your permit application materials I found that it was well written and
with minor changes to Section 7, there is sufficient content to approve the plan.
In addition to the extensive BMPs for Public involvement and Participation already
identifies[ in your Stromwater Management Plan, Town of Cary should conduct a least one public
meeting to allow the public an opportunity to review and comment on the stormwater
management program.
Also, the fact sheets on illicit connections and spill management developed to inform
businesses, commercial property managers, restaurant owner/operators, and automotive
businesses should be provided to the general public as well.
Please revise Section 7 of the Town of Cary's Stoomwater Management Program Report
with the additional information requested and send a copy of the updated section to my attention
so that I may update the copy of the Program Report that the Division has reviewed.
Please provide the requested information by Friday, June 18, 2004. If you have any
questions about this request don't hesitate to contact me at [phone], ext. 545.
