EROSION, FLOOD, STORMWATER & WATERSHED STANDARDS f
12.1 GENERAL PURPOSE AND INTENT
Erosion, Flood, Stormwater & Watershed Standards
12.1 GENERAL PURPOSE AND INTENT
12.1.1 FINDINGS OF FACT
A. Erosion and Sedimentation Control: The erosion of soil from unstabilized
development sites has adverse impacts on the condition of public and private
property, impairs the Town of Wake Forest stormwater system, and causes
pollution and accelerated siltation of lakes, streams and other watercourses.
Pursuant to the North Carolina Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973, as
amended, the Town of Wake Forest has been directed to implement an erosion and
sedimentation control program as outlined in this chapter.
B. Flood Damage Prevention: The flood prone areas within the jurisdiction of the
Town of Wake Forest are subject to periodic inundation which can result in loss of
life, property, health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental
services, extraordinary public expenditures of flood protection and relief, and
impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety,
and general welfare. These flood losses can be caused by the cumulative effect of
obstructions in floodplains causing increases in flood heights and velocities and by
the occupancy in flood prone areas of uses vulnerable to floods or other hazards.
C. Stormwater Management: It has been determined that development and
redevelopment can alter the hydrologic response of local watersheds and increases
stormwater runoff rates and volumes, flooding, soil erosion, stream channel
erosion, nonpoint and point source pollution, and sediment transport and
deposition, as well as reducing groundwater recharge. These changes in stormwater
runoff contribute to increased quantities of water-bome pollutants and alterations
in hydrology which are harmful to public health and safety as well as to the natural
environment. These effects can be managed and minimized by applying proper
design and well -planned controls to manage stormwater runoff from development
sites. Further, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 ("Clean Water Act")
and federal Phase II Stormwater Rules promulgated under it, as well as rules of the
North Carolina Environmental Management Commission promulgated in response
to federal Phase 1I requirements, compel certain urbanized areas, including the
Town of Wake Forest, to adopt stormwater controls such as those included in this
chapter.
D. Watershed Protection: The Legislature of the State of North Carolina has, in
NCGS 143-21, Watershed Protection Rules, directed local governmental units to
adopt regulations that meet or exceed the minimum requirements of NCGS 143-
214.5 and water supply watershed protection rules adopted by the State
Environmental Management Commission in order to protect the water supplies
throughout the state.
12.1.2 PURPOSE
A. Erosion and Sedimentation Control: The erosion and sedimentation control
regulations of this chapter are adopted for the purposes of regulating certain land -
disturbing activities to control accelerated erosion and sedimentation in order to
control water pollution from sedimentation, inhibit the accelerated erosion and
sedimentation of lakes and watercourses and prevent damage to public and private
property by erosion and sedimentation.
UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE I Adopted July 16, 2013 12-1

121 EROSION, FLOOD, STORMWATER & WATERSHED STANDARDS
12.1 GENERAL PURPOSE AND INTENT
B. Flood Damage Prevention:
1. It is the purpose of this section to promote public health, safety, and general
welfare and to minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions
within the flood prone areas by provisions designed to:
a. restrict or prohibit uses that are dangerous to health, safety, and property
due to water or erosion hazards or that result in damaging increases in
erosion, flood heights or velocities;
b. require that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities that serve such
uses, be protected against flood damage at the time of initial construction;
c. control the alteration of natural floodplains, stream channels, and natural
protective barriers, which are'involved in the accommodation of
floodwaters;
d. control filling, grading, dredging, and all other development that may
increase erosion or flood damage; and
e. prevent or regulate the construction of flood barriers that will unnaturally
divert flood waters or which may increase flood hazards to other lands.
2. Specific objectives of the flood damage prevention provisions are as follows:
a. to protect human life and health;
b. to minimize expenditure of public money for costly flood control projects;
e. to minimise the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding
and generally undertaken at the expense of the general public;
d. to minimize prolonged business losses and interruptions;
e. to minimise damage to public facilities and utilities
f. to help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound use and
development of flood prone areas; and
g. to ensure that potential buyers are aware that property is in a Special Flood
Hazard Area.
C. Stormwater Management: The purpose of this section is to protect, maintain and
enhance the public health, safety, environment and general welfare by establishing
minimum requirements and procedures to control the adverse effects of increased
post -development stormwater runoff and nonpoint and point source pollution
associated with new development and redevelopment. This ordinance seeks to meet
its general purpose through the following specific objectives and means:
1. Establishing decision -making processes for development that protects the
integrity of watersheds and preserves the health of water resources;
2. Requiring that new development and redevelopment maintain the pre -
development hydrologic response in their post -development state as
practicable for the applicable design storm in order to reduce flooding, stream
bank erosion, nonpoint and point source pollution and increases in stream
temperature, and to maintain the integrity of stream channels and aquatic
habitats;
3. Establishing minimum post -development stormwater management
standards and design criteria for the regulation and control of stormwater
12-2 TOWN OF WAKE FOREST, NC

EROSION, FLOOD, STORMWATER & WATERSHED STANDARDS
12.2 APPLICABILITY 12
runoff quantity and quality;
4. Establishing design and review criteria for the construction, function, and
use of structural stormwater BMPs that may be used to meet the
minimum post- development stormwater management standards;
S. Encouraging the use of better management and site design practices, such
as the use of vegetated conveyances for stormwater and the preservation
of greenspace. and other conservation areas to the maximumi extent
practicable;
S. Establishing provisions for the long-term responsibility for and
maintenance of structural and nonstructural stormwater BMPs to ensure
that they continue to function as designed, are maintained appropriately,
and pose no threat to public safety;
7. Establishing administrative procedures for the submission, review,
approval and disapproval of stormwater management plans, for the
inspection of approved projects, and to assure appropriate long-term
maintenance.
D. Watershed Protection: The Watershed Protection regulations are established to
preserve and improve water quality and provide safe drinking water now and in the
future.

Watershed Protection Overlay District.
2. Parcels to which development "credits" are applied must be located within the
same water supply watershed as the paired -parcel.
D. Combined Impervious Surface Area Limit: The total amount of development
(impervious surface area) allowed for the paired parcels taken together cannot
exceed the amount of development that would be allowed if the parcels were
developed separately.
E. Overall Density Limit: Overall density of the paired -parcel, averaged -impervious
surface development, calculated either by dwelling units per acre or built upon area
shall not exceed the density that would be allowed if the parcels were developed
separately.
F. Runoff Volume: Peak flow must be controlled on the developing lot or project
using the acreage or area of the developing lot or project only, so as to minimize
drainage impact on downstream properties.
G. Stormwater Flow: Plans shall be designed to:
1. Minimize stormwater runoff impact to the receiving waters by min#m+ling
concentrated stormwater flow;
2. Maximize the use of sheet flow through vegetated areas;
3. Minimize impervious surface areas;

impervious surface averaging agreement, and documentation indicating the
intent to convey the undeveloped parcel(s) or portion(s) thereof to the town.
3. If an impervious surface averaging allowancc is granted as part of a
Development Permit, no change in the development proposal authorized for
either parcel shall be made unless the impervious surface averaging allowance is
amended and reapproved by the Administrator.
4. Before a Building Permit is issued, the undeveloped parcel(s) or portion(s)
thereof shall be deeded (fee simple and at no cost) to the Town of Wake Forest
and the town shall place a permanent conservation easement on the same, as
provided under NCGS 121-35, granted to the town, a land conservation
organization, or other entity capable of providing for the ongoing maintenance
of the undeveloped property. No such agreement shall be accepted without
approval of the Town Attorney as to the legal sufficiency of the documents
involved.
5. Once ownership of such land is conveyed, a plat showing the properties and
conservation easements involved in the development, and outlining the
impervious surface averaging requirements associated with the parcel pair must
be reviewed, approved, and recorded prior to the issuance of the building
permit.
I. Agreements Shall Continue Indefinitely. Applicants shall agree to bind
themselves and their successors in title, individually and collectively, to maintain the
pattern of development proposed for so long as the requirements of this section are
applicable. Parties to enforcement of such agreement shall include the town.
12.7 WATERCOURSE (RIPARIAN) BUFFER AREAS
It is the intent of this section to seek to maximize retention of the natural beauty of vegetation along
creeks, streams, rivers, and lakes, and other bodies of water while simultaneously providing for the
retention of surface water run-off from areas adjacent to these natural and/or built features, resulting in a
net reduction of pollutants that enter these water features.
12.7.1 ESTABLISHMENT OF BUFFERS
A. Applicability: All protected drainageways and surface waters shall have riparian
buffers directly adjacent to such surface waters of the width specified in 12.7.2
below. When multiple watercourse buffer standards apply, the more stringent
standard shall dictate.
B. Location of Buffers
1. For the purposes of this section, intermittent streams, perennial streams, upper
watershed drainageivays that drain more than 5 acres, water supply
impoundments, lakes, ponds and wetlands shall be deemed to be present if the
feature is indicated on the most recent versions of the following:
a. United States Geological Survey 1:24,000 scale (7.5 minute quadrangle)
topographic maps;
b. A soil survey map prepared by the Natural Resources Conservation Service
of the United States Department of Agriculture;
c. The North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) identification
methodology for determination of perennial and intermittent streams; or
d. Other site -specific evidence.

3. In order to determine the amount of land drained by, an upper watershed
drainageway, USGS•or Wake County topographic maps may be used.
4. Where obvious conflicts between actual field conditions and USGS and county
soil survey maps exist, appeals may be made to the Administrator or, for
appeals related to Neuse River Basin buffer requirements, the North Carolina
Division of Water Resources.
5. All surface waters shall be determined by a qualified professional using the
most recent version of Identification Method for the Origins of Intermittent
and Perennial Streams and verified by qualified Town Staff and/or the NC
Division of Water Resources.
C. Buffer Measurement: The width of each required riparian buffer shall be
measured perpendicular to the banks of the protected drainageway, beguuiing at the
most landward limit of the top of bank.

requirements to the public.
D. Exclusion of Watercourse Buffer Areas from Lots: Single-family lots created
through a site and/or subdivision plan shall not be platted'into a watercourse buffer
area except through the approval of the Administrator when all of the following
conditions are met:
1. The subdivision is limited in size and has no homeowners association;
2. There is no other reason for the formation of a homeowners association (e.g.,
covenant, other common areas, engineered stormwater control structures);
3. The buffer is placed in a permanent conservation or other legal instrument
dedicated to the town or other approved conservation of governmental entity
(required documents must be provided prior to recordation of the plat for the
impacted area).

Executive Summary
The Clean Water Education Partnership (CWEP) is a program of Triangle J Council of Governments
(TJCOG). TJCOG serves a diverse seven -county region, promoting collaboration among local governments,
stakeholders and partners, tackling challenges that cross jurisdictional lines. CWEP is a cooperative effort
(Program) between local governments, state agencies, and nonprofit organizations to protect water
quality in the Tar -Pamlico, Neuse, and Cape Fear River Basins. CWEP helps public entities communicate
the important fact that clean water is vital for healthy ecosystems and a high quality of life for area
residents. The Program is administered by TJCOG and is governed by a Steering Committee that is
composed of representatives from each partner jurisdiction or agency. Subcommittees are formed as
needed to work on various public outreach and education activities. As of 2017, there are 37 government
partners in CWEP. Together, these organizations collaborate to develop, provide, and deliver high -quality
stormwater education and outreach materials to communities across the region, cooperatively achieving
more than they could individually.
The 2017 fiscal year marked a turning point for the Clean Water Education Partnership (CWEP); shifts in
personnel, campaign strategies, and a refreshed online identity showcase the innovative and response
nature of the program. CWEP continued to focus on online video pre -roll advertising, mobile television
platforms and social media campaigns; however, new materials such as the development of a stormwater
education infographic designed to promote behavior changes in the community; an interactive, blog-like
website focused on community engagement; and the formulation of a revolutionary five-year strategy
have modernized and streamlined the CWEP program. Additional details on all of these activities are
described in further detail throughout this report.

1.0 CWEP FISCAL YEAR 2017 ACTIVITY SUMMARY
The CWEP, program has expanded upon previously successful campaign elements to maximize impressions
and fully utilize the media identity developed in previous years. In an effort. to be increasingly more
modern, the CWEP Partners have approved new and innovative campaigns that maximize their
collaborative efforts and funding while reaching more constituents and educating the population on water
quality and stormwater pollution.
1.1 CWEP CAMPAIGN ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS
1.1.1 Website
A major component of FY2017 was the overhaul and revitalization of the Partnership online
presence via the CWEP website. The site had previously been maintained by DesignHammer, LLC,
a private contractor, since 2005. Through this host, any additions, or revisions to the content
required coordinating with a website administrator and incurred additional costs; thus, the site
Was updated infrequently. Additionally, several defunct domains were hosted through this and
other contractors despite being owned by CWEP. In February of 2617, TJCOG began hosting and
directing a new Wordpress.com site (https:Z/nc_cleanwater.com) which incorporates' all static
program information and materials featured by the previous website, but also includes a fun and
engaging blog about stormwater events; Partner program highlights, educational opportunities,
and other exciting developments as they occur. Bringing the website administration in-house
reduces costs dramatically and allows for continuous improvements to the Program and
additional value to the communities. All other domains have been recovered from their respective
hosts and map directly to the new site. This enhanced online presence is additionally reinforced
by connecting and sharing associated social media account activity with and in the blog in real-
time.
Website traffic has been increasing and will continue to increase overtime; peak views coincided
with the spring online media.campaign as described in Section 1.1.3.1.
1.1.2 Cinema Campaigns
CWEP contracted with two cinema networks or "circuits," National CineMedia (NCM) and
Screenvision, to maximize coverage of CWEP Partner jurisdictional areas. This arrangement with
two vendors began in FY13 and continues to provide the necessary coverage of our member
jurisdictions with cinema outreach. The 30-second Johnny Fishpatrick spot from the NC
Department of Environmental Quality— Division of Water 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. It can be viewed here.

1.1.2.2 Cinema Campaign Value
Overall, the total cost to the CWEP program for each of the Winter and Spring campaigns was
$11,000, for a total of $22,000 for FY17 cinematic programming. There were a total of 877,iS3
impressions delivered with these funds, for an average per -impression cost of $0.025. This
campaign brings incredible value to the CWEP program and is able to reach viewers of all
demographics across a wide region.
1.1.3 Spectrum Digital Campaigns
In 2016, CWEP worked with a private contractor to create a 30-second stand-alone version of the
Sodfather spot. This video can be viewed here. This media was used for the run of network, video
pre -roll, and cable television campaign run by Spectrum (previously Time Warner Cable) from
April 3rd through June 25`", 2017. The audience targeted for this campaign was adults aged 35+
who own their own homes, are educated and enjoy yard work and gardening. Final campaign
statistics are included in Appendix A of this report.
1.1.3.1 Online Campaign
Spectrum ran the 30-second as well as the 15-second Sodfather spots as pre -rolls (a viewer must
watch the spot in its entirety in order to continue to their chosen content) as well as in -banner
videos (a small window loops the spot in the sidebar of the viewer's chosen content). See Figure
1 for an illustration of this content. Viewers that clicked on the spot in either capacity were
directed to the new website described in Section 1.1.1. Over the duration of the campaign, re-
directed traffic to the CWEP website averaged approximately 2,000 visitors per month. This
campaign was based on a pilot program launched in 2015, which gathered 347,105 impressions;
Triangle J

CLEAN WATER
EDUCATION
PARTNERSHIP
during 2017, this campaign generated 1,584,778 impressions across the region. As the spot was
delivered online, these are verified actual video plays rather than estimates.
1.1.3.2 TV -Everywhere Campaign
Spectrum also ran the Sodfather spot as part of their TV -Everywhere system; this allows users to
view cable television in real-time on their personal devices such as smartphones and tablets.
Commercial breaks during the cable programming are filled with ad slots; for this campaign,
Spectrum used our 30-second Sodfather spot. Overall, this. campaign generated 250,202
impressions across the region.

1.13.3 Digital Campaign Performance
Campaign performance statistics as reported above are for the media 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. For local government and/or regulatory reporting
purposes, figures on the population as a whole are more readily understood and compared.
The jurisdictional values presented below in Table 5 are estimates that were derived by dividing
the sum of all digital campaign impressions (1,834,980) by the proportion of the target population
within each jurisdiction.

1.1.3.4 Digital Campaign Value
Overall, the total cost to the CWEP program for the Spectrum digital campaign was $30,000. There
were a total of 1,834,980 impressions delivered with these funds, for an average per -impression
cost of $0.016. Based on Table 5 above, it can be seen that this resulted in slightly more
impressions than there are people living in the region, illustrating the tremendous value this
campaign brings to the CWEP program.
1.1.4 Social Media Campaigns
In 2017, CWEP utilized social media in new and exciting ways. In January of 2017, previous
Facebook and Twitter accounts that were rarely updated were reactivated and linked to the new
website as described in Section 1.1.1. Additionally, a TJCOG communications staff member will be
devoting a portion of her time to CWEP communications using these platforms moving forward.
Table 6 below outlines the number of impressions from these new social media tools since January
2017.

that identifies specific campaign themes that will build upon a general stormwater education basis
beginning in FY18. The development of a modern, fun, and educational infographic was begun,
which will be further evolved into an animated short film which will be used as a broad-spectrum
tool to promote behavior changes in the community. Radio, print, and other campaigns will
complement these new items, for a comprehensive 'back to basics' campaign. CWEP will use
specific components of this campaign for targeted education in future years.
2.0 PROGRAM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
2.1 CWEP 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 FY17) and a proportionate cost. Each partners proportionate cost is the
product of its population and a per -capita rate ($0.041 per person for FY17; 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 (FY17 used 2014 certified estimates). The CWEP Steering
Committee established and approved the CWEP FY17 program cost shares outlined in Table 7 below in
January of 2016.

joining TJCOG she spent roughly 10 years working as an environmental consultant in Seattle with
focuses on stormwater, sediment, and aquatic ecology, a year working for the NCDEQ in the Water
Sciences Section, and most recently in the Stormwater Management Division at the City of Raleigh.
CWEP January 31, 2017 Steering Committee Meeting Summary P. 1

Andrea Eilers is the Energy and Environment Program Manager at TJCOG. She holds a BS in Conservation
Biology from the University of Wisconsin, and a MS in Environmental Studies focusing on Water
Resources and Public Outreach. She joined TJCOG after working in the Sustainable Transportation and
Sustainability sectors since 2009. Prior professional experience includes working for the NC Clean Energy
Technology Center at NC State University and for Leonardo Academy, a sustainability non-profit based in
Madison, Wisconsin. She has experience in Sustainable Transportation, Grant Application and Project
Management, Emission Calculation and Reporting, and Sustainability Training projects.
Alana Keegan is the Engagement Specialist for TJCOG. She holds a BA in Economics and International
Studies from Muhlenberg College. She joined TJCOG after working in a communications role for a
private -sector consulting firm. She previously worked for NEOS LLC and the South Central Regional
Council of Governments (SCRCOG), both in CT. Prior professional experience includes creating &
managing strategic communication plans, editorial calendars, website and social media platforms, and
engagement of COG member towns and officials.
The Partners then introduced themselves and their affiliations. The attendee list is provided above.
Strategic Discussion for the Future of CWEP
1. Andrea posed the question to the group: "What is the purpose of CWEP"? Do we want to raise
awareness of water quality issues, change public behavior, or are we simply checking off a permit
requirement?
• Jaclyn, Garner — Garner was initially dependent on CWEP to help fulfill their permit requirement,
but now that they are more self-sufficient, they still enjoy the collaborative benefit.
■ Wendy, Chapel Hill —The collaboration is needed to disperse costs (economy of scale). Also,
CWEP has more of a presence as a delegation than each entity would have alone.
■ Marie, Cary — CWEP has the potential to be a galvanizing force for change. Perhaps developing a
5-year strategic plan is the way to go; each audience/campaign would have one year slot.
■ Laura, Durham — Noted that many of CWEP Partners were at one point simply hoping to check
off a permit requirement, but now the mentality is different. Partners want to be leaders in
water protection. Would like to survey population as a greater entity.
■ Group agrees that surveys as a follow up to campaigns are necessary to gauge success.
■ Jason, Hope Mills — HM does an annual Earth Day survey to assess public knowledge of
stormwater
■ Wendy, Chapel Hill — CH did one in 2005, and are planning to do another in 2018
■ Bob, Town of Oxford/Archer Lodge — Explained current situation in AL; just now rolling out
enforcement of stormwater compliance issues, and would like guidance from entities that have
already gone through this. Noted the need to teach the elected officials about the importance of
these issues in order to gain support for the program
■ Matt, Fuquay-Varina — Likes print materials for education (flyers, etc.)

■ Zach, Holly Springs — noted the challenge of reaching polluters if they don't live in the
community they pollute
■ Carmela, Raleigh — Illustrates the need for extremely general media that can be used for many
people, places, and situations
■ Group — discussion about the need for Spanish -language media to reach Hispanic populations
■ Jaclyn, Garner — Would really like to focus heavily on social media platform as a draw to the
younger population. Need more videos, digital media, etc.
■ Carmela -- may be able to use Environmental Awards competition videos — will check into this
CWEP January 31, 2017 Steering Committee Meeting Summary p. 2

1. Should CWEP meet more often? Do we need another planning retreat?
• Group — No, the retreat isn't necessary. Would like TJCOG to come up with a strategy, including
potential campaigns, potential 5-year strategy, and ideas for media and materials.
■ May need to have additional, smaller meetings for workgroups or iterative review.
3. Should CWEP/TJCOG work to recruit or attract additional members/portners?
• Group — the -more the merrier..
■ TJ, Morrisville — recommended coordination with the NC League of Municipalities, which may
have some overlap but could be a good resource.
FY17 Workplan and Outreach Program
1. TJCOG suggested that website redevelopment be substantial (from scratch) and done in-house with
Word Press, to allow freedom to develop materials as the Committee would like, and to lower costs
for external hosting. The Committee approved.
• TJCOG will host workgroup meetings as needed to facilitate website development. Will offer
webinar/remote access.
■ Amanda, Laura, Kristen, Jessica, and Melissa volunteered to be on workgroup.
2. Campaign Overview and Discussion
■ Andrea presented 'impressions' from the winter media campaign. General discussion regarding
success and next steps
■ Kristen, Raleigh — asked the group how we feel the campaign is performing, with current
media, etc. Are there better metrics to evaluate success, aside from impressions?
■ Marie, Cary — the Sodfather targets the adult homeowner, which is ideal. However, will want to
have other media spots that target teens, kids, etc.
■ Andrea will not renew contract with theaters until we know for sure what we want to run
■ TJ,.Morrisville - Are there widespread Best Practices for outreach, materials, assessments?
• Kristen, Raleigh, and Alana, TJCOG to research
3. Storage Unit
■ Old "purple" CWEP brochures available in storage unit. TJCOG will bring these to next meeting
for any entity that wants them.
■ Future brochures will be general, and may have customizable portions for each
member/partner
■ TJCOG will sell what they can from the storage unit, with funds going directly back to CWEP.
■ TJCOG will send an inventory of items available to Committee
Next Steps, Priorities, and Action Items
■ Jen will send outa Doodle poll to establish next meeting day/time for early in Q2.
■ TJCOG will begin work on the website, as a priority
■ 1en will send an inventory of storage unit items available
■ TJCOG will clean out storage unit before June
• TJCOG will work on a survey to send to all CWEP members and partners to determine their
needs and priorities, and determine a ranking of all issues for the strategy plan
• TJCOG will work on a 5-year strategy, potential campaigns, and other ideas, including updates to
branding elements, logos, etc.

the end of June, and the spring cinema campaign, which is run by two different theater groups during the
month of June. Jen also gave an update on the CWEP storage unit: all items have been sold or given away
aside from old print materials such as trifolds and postcards, which are outdated and many have water
damage. The storage unit contract will be terminated at the end of June and that financial line item will
be returned to the CWEP budget.
CWEP April 6, 2017 Steering Committee Meeting Summary P. 1

Presentation on Internet and Cable TV Ad Camoaien bv SDectrum
Lynn Dallin from Spectrum Internet provided a presentation on the CWEP pre -roll and commercial ad
campaign that is currently running (April 1-June 30). This includes a 30-second Sodfather video that plays
as an intro to videos selected by viewers on many top-quality sites. This ad is non-skippable, so the viewer
absorbs the video before being able to view the content they had selected. The viewer can also click on
the video and route to our new CWEP website (see below). This campaign also includes a 30-second
Sodfather commercial that plays in regular cable TV commercial spots both on the set top box and the TV
Everywhere app (iPad, Roku, etc.).
Lynne described the capabilities of Spectrum to target audiences, based on statistics throughout each
campaign, and the abilityto customize ads based on specific zip codes and jurisdictions. Spectrum analysts
continuously monitor the 'success' of our ad and roll it on different sites or times of day according to
demand. They also have an internal company that could potentially create new media materials for us.
TJCOG will secure quotes.
New Website Demo Discussion
Jen discussed the transfer from the old nccwep.org and nccleanwater.org site, which was hosted by an
external company, to the new nc-cleanwater.com WordPress site that TJCOG has created and is hosting.
A demo of the website was provided with Partner feedback.
Previously, any change or update to the website involved requesting support from the external company,
as well as payment per hour of assistance. This resulted in a static website with broken links and a dated
feel. The benefits of an internally driven website are many, including the ability to freely 'blog' about
stormwater and water quality issues around the area, quickly and easily fix and update content as needed,
and customize for each of the Partners. This website will also provide statistics on visitors, coordinates
with Google Analytics, allows comments on posts, and provides many avenues for the public and other
users to find what they need and get engaged with CWEP. It is also significantly less expensive for a better
product. Currently, the Spectrum internet campaign described above provides a 'click -through' service to
our new website. Any visitors to the old CWEP websites, which are still printed on some campaign
materials, will eventually be automatically routed to the new website as well when we are able to secure
domain mapping from the previous hosting contractor.
Partners are encouraged to send Jen any interesting stormwater- or water quality -related post material.
TJCOG would like to feature one entity per month at a minimum ("Stormwater Program of the Month").
5-Year Strategy, Discussion
Campaign Overview and Discussion
■ The group reviewed the draft 5-year strategy. A revised document is attached.
■ The group agreed to completing the rest of FY17 with the current Sodfather/landscaping theme.
■ FY18 will be a general stormwater campaign to implement basic stormwater education while
coinciding with new print materials, new website, and new social media efforts.
• The group did not think that youth education should be its own annual theme, but that youth
education components should be incorporated into each year. Would like to work on tools to
reach teachers/educators.
• Spanish language elements should also be incorporated into each year.
■ Group thought that a survey to steer the direction of the general stormwater campaign as well
as future annual themes would be necessary prior to FY18 (or as soon as possible). Will need to
hire a professional company.
CWEP April6, 2017Steering Committee Meeting Summary p. 2

■ FY19 Theme should be trash/litter — lots of potential campaign ideas (see attached)
■ Possible themes include:
i. Household hazardous waste —current favorite for FY20
W. ' Rural/agricultural — current favorite for FY21
iii. and disturbance/riparian buffers
iv. Pet waste/recreation
Next Steps, Priorities, and Action Items
■ TJCOG will follow up with DesignHammerto ensure Boman mappingfrom previous CWEP website
to new one at nc-cieanwater.com
■ TJCOG will cancel storage unit contract in June
■ TJCOG will reach out to several media companies for quotes and support for new videos, radio
spots, etc.
■ TJCOG will reach out to professional survey companies for quotes and support for general
stormwater knowledge surveys
■ TJCOG will investigate other avenues for campaigns (bus shelters/on bus advertising, gas station
TVs, recreation areas/trailheads
■ TJCOG will distribute a FY18 workplan and budget for review and approval at the next CWEP

MEDIA SUBCOMMITTEE MEETING
June 20, 2017
Triangle J Council of Governments, Durham NC
Discussion of Media Camuaien Elements
There was a brief discussion about the current cinema, internet, and television campaigns that are
occurring, as well as the website/blog. We also discussed the potential for a survey as well as a radio
campaign with the dated spots: neither were favorable to the group. Jen will look into other survey
companies and options for regional work, and we will roll radio money over into the next fiscal year as
funds to develop new radio spots for campaigns.
Review of Draft Info r� aphic
The group reviewed the first draft of the stormwater infographic that will be used across all types of new
and longstanding campaigns. There was a great discussion regarding focusing the intent of this infographic
on changing behaviors, rather than strictly education. For example, sediment is a contributing factor to
stormwater pollution, but there is very little that the general public can do to help prevent it. Therefore,
it was suggested that sediment be removed and oilier pollutants that are directly tied to behavior be used
instead. The final pollutant list includes:
1) Trash/Litter
2) Pet Waste
3) Yard Waste
a) Household Hazardous Waste (Paint/Grease)
5) Pesticides/Fertilizers
6) Vehicle Maintenance (Carwashing/Gas/Oil)
Through group discussion, changes to the infographic include updating the pollutant list as above,
redeveloping the brief overview paragraph to be more user-friendly (this paragraph will mirror the
introduction to the video, see below), and change the format from a spiral popout to a stream
accumulating pollutants.
CWFP June 20, 2017 Media Subcommittee Meeting Summary P. 1

Draft Animation Script Development
It was established through discussion that two minutes is the maximum length we would want our video
to be. Therefore, the draft outline for the video is:
1) Introduction = 0:20
2) Six breakouts = 0:15 each, total 1:30
3) Conclusion = 0:10
The introduction will read the paragraph from the infographic and set the stage for the breakouts. Each
breakout will show two negative behaviors, with a red symbold& and a buzzer sound, then show the
positive behavior with a green check and applause sound. The conclusion will show two scenes: a
happy, healthy water scene (beach, stream, etc.), and a polluted beach scene with a `beach closed' sign,
dead fish, and accumulated pollutants.
Next Steps, Priorities, and Action Items
■ Jen will work with Alana to make all recommended changes to the infographic
■ Jen will work with Amazing Studios to move forward with animation services
• Jen will look further into other survey companies such as National Research Center, Qualtrics, and
KCI to determine feasibility of regional water awareness survey
■ Jen will add a blog post/article about sediment to the CWEP website
■ Jen will post Jonny Fishpatrick and radio clips to the CWEP website
■ Jen will add a blog post/article about carwashing to website
■ Jen will develop a draft script using subcommittee discussion points for the animated video

The W.F. stormwater post -construction ordinance looks good and is approved.
I am curious about the provision for a 10 foot setback from wetlands (ord, draft,
page 21). What is the origin of that I-303 (E) provision?
I don't think the state has any such requirement, except in the Red Book of NCAC
stormwater rules, it mentions a ten foot setback from wetlands for poles and certain
utilities.
Thanks for submitting the draft.

WAKE FOREST, NC 27587-2932
Subject: NPDES Phase lI Stormwater Program
2000 U.S. Census - Notification of Coverage
Mark S. Williams.
In 1990 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Phase I stormwater program was promulgated under the
Clean Water Act. Phase I relies on National Pollutant discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit coverage to
address stormwater runoff from: (1) "medium" and "large" municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) generally
serving populations of 100,000 or greater, (2) construction activity disturbing 5 acres of land or greater, and (3) ten
categories of industrial activity. The NPDES Stormwater Phase II Final Rule was promulgated in December 1999 and is
the next step in EPA's effort to preserve, protect, and improve the Nation's water resources from polluted stormwater
runoff. The Phase Il program expands the Phase I program by requiring additional operators of MS4s in urbanized areas
and operators of small construction sites, through the use of NPDES permits, to implement programs and practices to
control stormwater runoff. Phase II is intended to further reduce adverse impacts to water quality and aquatic habitat by
instituting the use of controls on the unregulated sources of storm water discharges that have the greatest likelihood of
causing continued environmental degradation.
The NPDES Stormwater Phase II Final Rule requires nationwide coverage of all operators of small MS4s that are
located within the boundaries of a Bureau of the Census defined "urbanized area" based on the latest decennial Census.
The Bureau of Census has recently released data detailing the 2000 Census urbanized areas and using GiS data files
produced by the Bureau of Census, North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources staff has
compiled a list of municipalities and counties that we believe fall in whole or in part within one or more of the seventeen
census -designated urbanized areas in North Carolina.
We are writing to you to notify you that the Town of Wake Forest has been identified as being located within a census
designated urbanized area. As a regulated community, you are required to develop a stormwater management program
and apply for stormwater permit coverage, if you own and operate a small MS4 or file a certification that the Town of
Wake Forest does not own or operate a small MS4. The deadline for submitting your application package or
non -ownership certification is 18 months from the date of this letter. Application and certification documents, as well as
additional information on the NPDES stormwater program, are available for download at our web site . Our web address
is http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/stormwater.html. if you have any questions about this'letter, please feel free to contact me
(919-733-5083, ext.525) or Darren England (919-733-5083, ext. 545)
