Why be concerned with
Stormwater?
The people of Woodf n are no sum-igm to min. It is a blessing and at f mes a oitse, but
regardless of how it is pcwkivad, it is an tmawidable fact of life.
What is Stormwater?
Rainfall becomes Stormwater runoff as it passes over undeveloped land where it soaks into the earth,
evaporates or is channeled into streams and rivers. 'Thus is a completely natural process and is integral to the
maintenance of our ecosystem.
When Does Stormwater become a Problem?
As development occurs natural surfaces are necessarily replaced with impermeable surfaces -- like roads,
buildings, and parking lots — which prevent ready absorption of rainwater into the earth. As a result surface
runoff is dramatically increased. This runoff carries any surface pollutants in its path into the storm sewer
system. During strong storms the runoff is carried quickly into the storm sewer system, with little chance for
absorption into the soil. One result of this is heavy pollution levels in Stormwater runoff and possible flooding
of streets.
In order to address these problems the Town of Woodfin in conjunction with the State of North Carolina has
begun to address the issue of Stormwater and associated runoff The following document is the East step
towards creating an effective Stormwater management program for our community.

Why Worry About Stormwater?
Although pollution conveyed by Stormwater has historically been overlooked due to the complications
associated with identifying the sources of pollution, it is one of the most significant sources of pollution to our
nation's waters today. Poor management of storm water can lead to impaired water bodies, degraded animal
habitats, polluted drinking water, increased flooding, and hydrologic changes to streams, lakes wetlands and
rivers (such as erosion of streambeds or deposits of soil and silt in waterways, which can further alter their
natural state). n
Conversely, communities that have developed aggressive Stormwater management
programs, especially in conjunction with other environmental activities, have 'w
revitalized their surface waters, improved local quality of life, and created
places where businesses and residents want to locate.,
By examining our current Stormwater system we can design a management
system that allows for maximum growth while minimizing harm to out natural �~^
environment, infrastructure and quality of life. '

1. Storm Sewer System Hbr mati®n
This section provides a brief snapshot of the Town of Woodfin's storm sewer system and the population it
serves.
1.1 Population Served: The Town of Woodfin has 3162 permanent residents according to the United States
Census Bureau.
L2 Growth Rate: Between the 1990 and 2000 Census, the Town of Woodfin experienced a 23.5% increase in
population. This averages out to an annual growth rate of 2.35%.
U Jurisdictional and MS4 Service Areas: Woodfin, NC encompasses a jurisdiction of roughly 4 square
miles. Our MS4 service area is also roughly 4 square miles.
1.4 MS4 Conveyance System: The Existing MS4 System in Woodfin consists primarily of an extensive open
channel system which is directed into a network of unnamed secondary receiving streams, which then
empty into our primary receiving streams: The French Broad River and Beaver Dam Creek. There are small
sections of closed pipe storm sewers in recent developments, but these are directed into the open channel
system. The town has no retention ponds. Currently the system is unmapped and maintenance is
conducted primarily on a complaint driven basis. Some channel clearance is conducted through the
community's "Adopt -a -Highway" program, but this is not a formalized component of MS4 maintenance.
There is no formal or regular schedule of system maintenance in place at this time.
1.5 Land Use Composition Estimates T1"he Town of Woodfin is predominately residential (509/4), with
healthy commercial (20%) and industrial (20%)sections. Open space makes up the remaining 10% of land
use.
1.6 Estimate Methodology: Land use estimates were extrapolated from the Town's Existing land Use Plan
prepared by the Land -of Sky Regional Council in 1998.
1.7 TMDL Identification: The primary receiving streams for the Town of Woodfin have not been classified
as protected waters by the state of North Carolina according to the North Carolina Department of
Environment and Natural Resources -Division of Water Quality.

3. Existing Water Quality Programs
This section briefly describes local and state water quality programs that are already in place.
3.1 Local Programs:
The Town of Woodfin has a number of local ordinances in place to safeguard water quality
in the jurisdiction.
Town of Woodfin:
Sedimentation Control Ordinance:
Chapter 150.174 Sedimentation Control of the Woodfin Code requires that a person or firm
seek a permit prior to "[a]ny construction of homes, buildings or other structures, streets and
roads or any activity which results in a change in the natural cover or topography (i.e.
grading, bulldozing, clearing, filling, major digging)," for any area less than one acre. The
Ordinance also requires a state and county approved plan for topography disturbance greater
than one acre.
The permit process requires pre -construction inspection by the zoning administrator as well
as periodic follow-up inspections to insure compliance with the permit restrictions.
Livestock Ordinance:
Chapter 91.37 Keeping of Livestock of the Woodfin Code prohibits dense concentration of
farm animals within the Town limits. The keeping of livestock on property less than 1 acre is
prohibited and on parcels larger than 1 acre a limit of 2 animals per acre is in place. This
ordinance prevents the accumulation of large amounts of animal waste and large-scale land
disturbance associated with concentrated farming methods.
Nuisances:
Chapter 92 of the Woodfin Code prohibits a variety of activities, which could otherwise
negatively impact water quality in the jurisdiction. Among its many provisions are the
following: it prohibits large concentrations of animal waste and garbage, it prohibits the
5

storage of derelict automobiles and parts, it prohibits improper and inadequate drainage, and
it prohibits any condition, which alters the natural course of rivers and streams.
In addition to these provisions the 'Town Administrator enjoys wide latitude in determining
what conditions constitute a nuisance or safety hazard.
Floodway District Regulation and Flood Prevention:
Chapter 150,150 of the Woodfin Code contains specific prohibitions and regulations to
promote healthy rivers, streams, and channels. Among the relevant provisions of this
chapter are: prohibitions against artificial topographical changes, which might alter the
natural course of running waters. This chapter also places controls on grading, filling,
dredging and development, which might increase sedimentation and flood damage.
3.2 State Programs
In Buncombe County the State Sedimentation Control Program is administered by the
County. This program requires a county permit for any land disturbing activity greater than
one acre. In conjunction with the Town of Woodfin's Sedimentation Control Ordinance this
program provides excellent protection against construction related run-off.

Program Plan
The main purpose of the NPDES Stormwater permit process is to have local governments
develop and implement Stormwater Management programs. This section outlines the
specific plan the Town has developed in order to address the state's requirement that we
develop, implement, and enforce a Stormwater management program (SWMP) within our
jurisdiction. Under the relevant provisions of the NPDES the Town of Woodfin will have 5
years from the date our permit is issued to comply with the plan set forth herein.
7.1 Public Education and Outreach on Storm Water Impacts:
The "Town of Woodfin must implement a public education program to distribute educational
materials to the community at large about the importance of maintaining a healthy
Stormwater system.

7.1.2 Target Audience: Public education efforts will be focused on four main groups:
interested citizens, business owners, school children, and individuals who are presently not
in compliance with good Stormwater management practices. These groups were selected in
order to maximize the impact of Woodfin's limited Stormwater management resources.
Interested citizens were selected because, educating those citizens who are most open to
adopting good Stormwater management practices will help to quickly establish these
practices as the status quo in Woodfin. Business owners were selected because of the large
role institutional entities have on Stormwater management practices. School children were
selected because of their natural openness to adopting good practices in managing their own
community and to ensure future development of good Stormwater management practices.
And, finally individuals who are presently not in compliance with good Stormwater
management practices were selected because they are already negatively impacting the
Town's Stormwater system and need to be educated about how to move towards
compliance.
7.1.3 Target Pollutant Sources: The primary targeted pollution source for the Town of
Woodfin will be eliminating illicit discharge and connections to the Stormwater system. The
reasoning behind the selection of illicit discharge as the primary target for our SWMP is the
general age of the local water and sewer system and the general age of much of the native
housing stock. Taken in combination these factors would seem to indicate that there is a
high probability of illicit discharge and connection to the Stormwater system. The chief
secondary pollution target for our SWMP will be construction related runoff. The rapid
increase in the Town's population coupled with the growing number of developers
expressing interest in Woodfin would indicate that new residential and commercial
development will increase precipitously over the next ten years and as a result construction
related runoff is likely to increase similarly.
7.2.3 Participation Program: In order to bring public input into the SWMP the Town of
Woodfin publicly advertised and hosted a Stormwater Public Hearing on February 18, 2003.
Interested citizens were invited to attend the hearing and ask questions or make suggestions
regarding the Town's permit. Additional efforts to involve the public will include:
presentations to school children, promotion of stream clean-up activities, and promotion of
the adapt -a -highway program.
7.2.3.1 Citizen representatives on a Stormwater management panel: Not applicable.

7.2.3.2 Public Hearings: Held February 18, 2003 at 7:00 PM.
7.2.3.3 Working with citizen volunteers willing to educate others about the program:
Not applicable.
7.2.3.4 Volunteer monitoring or strewn/beach clean-up activities: The Town will
actively seek to promote citizen participation in road and stream clean-up activities in the
Town of Woodfin.
7.2.4 Decision Process: The process for the development of a Stormwater public
involvement/participation program was based on identifying concrete steps the Town could
realistically take in order to involve the general public. Given the lack of financial and
personnel resources that the Town could dedicate to creating a Stormwater plan and the
general lack of public interest in same it was determined that creating a general awareness of
issues related to Stormwater management in the community would need to precede any
effort to bring in depth public participation in the design of the Town's SWMP. It is hoped
that after the planned educational efforts focused on raising awareness of Stormwater issues
over the next 5 years that the general public will become more involved in directing how the
Town's SWMP evolves in the future. To that end, Woodfin's program focuses on
eliminating illicit discharge and construction related runoff while simultaneously educating
the public about the need for a healthy Stormwater management system.
Due to the time and personnel constraints the Town faces in implementing the state
directive to develop, implement, and enforce a SWMP; it was impractical to move beyond
the responsible parry in designing the BMPs and measurable goals of the permit.
7.2.5 Evaluation: Once each year the Town Administrator will report to the Woodfin
Board of Aldermen on the success of the SWMP. All measurable goals will be analyzed for
effectiveness and completion in this report.

7.3.2 Storm Sewer System Map: Over the course of the next 5 years the Town
Administrator or his designee will map the entire Stormwater system showing the locations
of all outfalls and the names and locations of all receiving waters. The maps will be
developed from first hand observation in conjunction with existing Town maps prepared by
licensed civil engineers. Outfall locations will also be determined and verified by direct
observation.

7.3.3 Regulatory Mechanism: The Town will design and adopt an illicit discharge and
connections Stormwater ordinance based on the model ordinance provided by the state.
This ordinance will be drafted and passed in year 1 of the permit.
7.3.4 Enforcement: The Town's illicit discharge and connections Stormwater ordinance will
contain provisions allowing for appropriate enforcement procedures and actions to ensure
that the Town's ordinance is fully complied with.
7.3.5 Detection and Elimination: As described under BMP 3 on the above table, illicit
discharges will be identified during the mapping of the Stormwater system. Once identified
appropriate actions will be taken by the Town Administrator to eliminate illicit connections
and discharges to the Town's Stormwater system.
7.3.5.1 Procedures for locating priority areas which includes areas with higher
likelihood of illicit connections or ambient sampling to locate impacted reaches.
After consulting with the Town of Woodfin's Public Works Superintendent about which
areas of the Town contain the oldest sanitary sewer system, the Town Administrator will
determine which areas present the greatest likelihood of illicit discharge and connections.
Once identified these areas of concern will be ranked according to the severity of the
perceived problem and mapping/detection will begin in areas ranked worst.
7.3.5.2. Procedures for tracing the source of an illicit discharge, including the specific
techniques you will use to detect location of the source. Once detected, the Town
Administrator will trace illicit discharges back to their source. Tracing will involve direct
observation, and if necessary, excavation and/or the use of metal detectors in order to
determine the source of the illicit discharge or connection.
7.3.5.3. Procedures for removing the source of the illicit discharge. Any person found
to be violation of the Town's illicit discharge and connection Stormwater ordinance will be
citied and given a specific number of days to abate the situation. Failure to abate a violation
within the specified period will result in the Town abate the situation and billing the property
owner for the work. Unpaid bills will be attached as liens against the property. In extreme
cases the Town Administrator will be able to have an illicit discharge or connection abated
immediately if he or she deems it a public nuisance.
7.3.5.4 Procedures for evaluation of the plan to detect and eliminate illicit discharges.
Once a year the 'Town Administrator will make a report to the Board of Aldermen regarding
the progress of implementing the Stormwater Management Program (SWMP). An element
of this report will be to examine the effectiveness of the implementation of the SWMP. Until
a community baseline has been established, however, and ordinances put into place it will be
impossible to determine if proposed strategies will be effective.
7.3.6 Non-Stormwater Discharges: This section does not apply to conditions in theTown
of Woodfin.
7.3.7 Non-Stormwater Discharges that will not be addressed as illicit discharges: This
section does not apply to conditions in the Town of Woodfin.

7.3.8 Outreach: In proceeding with the Town's pollution prevention/good housekeeping
program, our first step will be to educate the Town's employees about the need to foster
good Stormwater management practices. To accomplish this the Town will conduct a survey
of public facilities and practices to determine in what ways the Town can eliminate illicit
discharge and connections to the Stormwater system for which the Town and its employees
may be responsible. After evaluating this survey the Town Administrator will conduct
training sessions with staff in order to bring the Town and its employees into full
compliance with the illicit discharge ordinance.
Educational efforts aimed at business owners and the general public will be done primarily
through brochures, presentations and public hearings.
7.3.9 Decision Process: The decision making process for the development of the Town's
illicit discharge detection and elimination program was the product of meetings between the
Town Administrator and an outside Stormwater consultant. It was determined that the map
and identify process of detection would lead to the quickest fulfillment of the Town's
measurable goals. As with all phases of the Stormwater Management Program the
responsible party was delegated the task of designing the program.
7.3.10 Evaluation; Once each year the Town Administrator will report to the Woodfin
Board of Aldermen on the success of the SWMP. All measurable goals will be analyzed for
effectiveness and completion in this report.
7.4 Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control: For land disturbing activities greater
than or equal to 1 acre the Town of Woodfin relies upon the State Erosion and Sediment
Control Program administered through Buncombe County to reduce Stormwater discharges.
For land disturbing activities less than 1 acre the 'Town of Woodfin has developed its own
sedimentation control ordinance.

7.4.2 Regulatory Mechanism: Chapter 150.174 Sedimentation Control of the Woodfin
Code requires that a person or firm seek a permit prior to "[a]ny construction of homes,
buildings or other structures, streets and roads or any activity which results in a change in the
natural cover or topography (i.e. grading, bulldozing, clearing, filling, major digging)," for
any area less than one acre. The Ordinance also requires a state and county approved plan
for topography disturbance greater than one acre (See Appendix C for a copy of this
ordinance).
7.4.2.1 See Appendix C
7.4.2.2 See Appendix C
7.4.3 Plan Reviews: All persons seeking a zoning permit in the Town of Woodfin must
submit a site plan for review. During the zoning review a determination is made by the
Town Administrator as to whether or not a sedimentation control permit is required.
Additionally, any land disturbing activity for which a zoning permit was not sought that is
brought to the attention of the Town Administrator will be investigated to determine if a
sedimentation control permit is necessary.
7.4.4 Enforcement: Anyone found in violation of the Sedimentation Control program will
be served with a cessation notice and ordered to come into compliance with ordinance.
Individuals failing to do so will be assessed civil penalties. In extreme cases of non-
compliance the Town is empowered to abate the situation and attach alien to the property
for the costs of abatement.
7.4.5 Inspections: Inspections are done as a matter of routine and guidance is offered
during or shortly after inspections on how to ensure compliance with the Town's
sedimentation ordinance. Sites closest to bodies of water are given priority for inspection.
7.4.6 Public Information: Complaints and suggestions regarding this policy are directed
through the office of the Town Administrator.
7.4.7 Decision Process: This ordinance was implemented under a previous Town
Administrator. I can offer no insight into how it was developed.
7.4.8. Evaluation: Once each year the Town Administrator will report to the Woodfin
Board of Aldermen on the success of the SWMP. All measurable goals will be analyzed for
effectiveness and completion in this report.
7.5 Post -Construction Stormwater Management in New Development and
Redevelopment
Currently the Town of Woodfin does not have a Post -Construction Stormwater
Management Program. As required by NPDES the Town will design, implement and
17

enforce a Post -Construction Stormwater Management Program no later than March 10,
2005.

7.5.13 Decision Process: As implementation of a Post -Construction Stormwater
Management Ordinance is a state mandate and the design of an effective ordinance is
beyond the experience of the Town's staff it was obvious that the Town would need to defer
18

to the state's guidance in this matter. When the state drafts a model resolution regarding this
matter the Board of Aldermen will move to adopt a version of this ordinance.
7.5.14 Evaluation: Once each year the Town Administrator will report to the Woodfin
Board of Aldermen on the success of the SWMP. All measurable goals will be analyzed for
effectiveness and completion in this report.
7.6 Pollution Prevention/ Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations: In order to
meet federal and state requirements as well as to protect our valuable natural resources, the
Town of Woodfin' must develop and implement an operation and maintenance program that
has the ultimate goal of preventing or reducing pollutant runoff from municipal operations.
