Phase 11 Stormwater Permit Report — Year I
PERMIT NO. NCS 000481
Introduction
The Town of Maiden Storniwaler Management Plan (SWMP) was developed and SUbinitted on
April 29, 2004 along with a National Pollutant Discharge F1liillination System (NPDFS) Phase 11
permit application for the municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4). Permit Number NCS
000481 was issued to the Town of Maiden in Fall 2005 by the North Carolina Departnient of'
I-'nvironment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) under authority ol' the North Carolina
hnvironnlental Management Commission and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. The
perinit was effective December 1, 2005, and allows the discharge of stormwater from the MS4
under the NPD1S regulations to the various receiving waters and their tributaries within the
Catawba River basin in accordance with the provisions ol'the permit.
Purpose of Report
Part III, the Program Assessment section of the Permit requires the SWMP to be reviewed and
updated on an annual basis. The Program Assessment section also requires that a report be
subrilitted to NCDIINR on an annual basis by February lof each year to doCL1111e111 the previous
year's activities From December to December. The stated purpose of' this report is a detailed
description of the status oi' inlplenientation of. the SWMP.

'i
Written Educational Materials
• Town Newsletter — Approximately ten (10) articles related to stormwater appeared in the
Town of Maiden's newsletter which is mailed to approximately 1,600 households quarterly.
The articles discussed stormwater pollution and its ef'f'ccts, the requirements of the Phase 11
Program and offered suggestions to citizens about how to reduce stormwater pollution.
Other related articles mentioned hazardous waste collection events, leaf collection (bagging
instead of raking leaves into the storm drain) and community clean-up events.
• Bookmark — "Town staff developed a bookmark using information distributed by the US
Environmental Protection Agency describing the importance of' stormwater and actions
homeowners and the general public can take to prevent stormwater pollution. This bookmark
was made available to the public at Town Hall and was distributed at numerous public
meetings and events.
• Spanish Bookmark — The bookmark described above was translated into Spanish and
distributed at Town Hall to target the Spanish-speaking public.
• Candy Giveaway — Mifk Duds(D candy was tagged with a statement that said "Don't be a
dud! Do your part to prevent stormwater pollution because it's our drinking water!" was
distributed at public meetings where the Phase 11 Stormwater Program was discussed.
One goal of Years 2 and 3 is to acid targeted educational materials explaining how stormwater
impacts can be minimized in commercial operations. It is also anticipated that additional
educational materials can be distributed through utility and tax bills. In additional to general
information about stormwater, the "Town will concentrate on the reduction of' pollutant loading
and minimization of stormwater volume, which is a locally identified threat to water quality.
Presentations:
• January 22, 2006 —'Town staff presented an overview of the Phase 11 Stormwater Program at
the Town Council planning retreat.
• March 18, 2006 — Town staff met with a local boy scout troop at nearby Murray's Mill and
gave a presentation about stormwater pollution and how they could help prevent it.
• October 9, 2006 — A public hearing was held at the Maiden Town Council meeting. Staff'
gave a detailed PowerPoint presentation of the requirements and components of the Phase II
stormwater program. This presentation allowed time for Council members and ask questions
regarding the program. The public hearing was advertised twice in the local newspaper and
at "Town Hall.
• October 17, 2006 — A public meeting was held at the Maiden High School to give the public
an opportunity to ask questions about town services and express concerns. Town staff
developed and displayed an informative poster describing the effects of stormwater pollution.
Small giveaways and written educational materials were distributed at the meeting.
• October 25, 2006 —Town staff met with teachers from the Environmental Science program at
Maiden High School to discuss the Phase 11 Stormwater Program and the incorporation of
efforts to teach students about stormwater pollution.
• Ongoing — Town staff has discussed with the Maiden Planning Board the implementation of
the Phase 11 program on several occasions.
- 3 -

A goal f-or Year 2 is to host an informational session for the development community to explain
the impacts of the post -construction requirements of the Phase I1 Program. ']'his meeting will
probably be held at be held at a county- or regional -level.
Informational Web Site:
A series of webpages specifically related to stormwater was launched at the end of' November on
the Town of Maiden's website (Iittp://www.i-naideiinc.coiii/storinwater.as]2x). Patterned after the
website template developed by the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service
(http:llwww.bae.ncsu.edultopiclphase2lmeasLire I b.htm), the website discusses the causes and
problems associated with stormwater pollution, steps homeowners and businesses can take to
reduce slorinwater pollution, volunteer opportunities, details about how to report illicit discharge,
children's activities and a link in Spanish to the US LPA's Spanish -language website about
stormwater pollution.
During the next year, it will be a priority for the Town of Maiden to improve its website by
adding stormwater articles, graphics and articles front the Maiden newsletter.
Phase II Stormwater Working Group
Town of Maiden staff have been actively involved with the Phase II Stormwater Working Group
from the local governments in Alexander, Burke, Caldwell, and Catawba Counties. This group
is facilitated by the Western Piedmont Council of� Governments (WPCOG). The purpose of this
group is to work together toward public education and involvement, the common development of'
ordinances, and any other matters related to stormwater management. The group has formed
teams to immediately work on the public education and involvement BMI's, as well as the post -
construction ordinance.
Events and festivals where it is practical to display materials and have handouts concerning the
prevention of stormwater pollution will continue to be used to disseminate information to the
public. The focus of these events and festivals must be such that discussions can be held with
the public. The Riverfest festival is scheduled yearly for the second weekend in September as
an example. Staff members will attend/support the lestival to meet the public and discuss
stormwater pollution prevention. A display and handouts concerning stormwater pollution
prevention will also be available for public education. Meetings with school officials this next
year will be a priority in order to schedule presentations to the appropriate school groups.
The declining circulation of the area newspapers makes the dissemination of written information
more diff"ICUlt. However, we also plan to continue to use this medium to reach the public.
NCDF.NR is working to complete television and radio public service announcements concerning
preventing stormwater pollution. When those are available, local media will be contacted to air
these public service announcements. The various materials that have been developed by such
organizations as NCDIINR will continue to be used in the appropriate media and settings to work
toward public education and outreach.

The "Town Council of the Town of Maiden held a public hearing on October 9, 2006 to allow the
public an opportunity to review and comment on the Stormwater Plan. At the meeting, 'Town
staff gave a detailed PowerPoint presentation of the requirements and components of the Phase It
Prograin. This presentation allowed time for Council members and ask questions regarding the
program. The public hearing was advertised twice in the local newspaper and at Town Ha]I
Town staff began to organize a volunteer program that will be improved in Year 2 and
subsequent years. On March 18, 2006, Town staff met with a local boy scout troop at nearby
Murray's Mill and gave a presentation about stormwater pollution and how they could help
prevent it. The scouts discussed the importance of water quality and what activities they could
do to help. They also collected trash and worked on stream restoration projects during the day.
It is anticipated this cleanup effort will be continued in Year 2 and subsequent years.

Town staff also advertised the Spring and Fali litter sweeps sponsored by the North Carolina
Department of'1_ransport ation in the Town quarterly newsletter. Interested persons were invited
to contact Town staff in order to volunteer. No persons expressed interest in the event. It is
anticipated that greater advertisement will be necessary in Year 2 and subsequent years in order
to recruit volunteers.
On October 25, 2006, Town staff met with teachers from the Environmental Science program at
Maiden High School to discuss the Phase II Stormwater Program and the incorporation ofefforts
to teach students about stormwater pollution. ]'own staff and the department head walked the
cross-country trail that is under construction at the high school. Two grants were received to
assist in the construction of the trail and the school received permission from the Town Council
to use the adjacent sewer right-of-way as part of the trail. "Town staff supported the school's
application for a Hometown Helper grant award to assist in construction efforts. It is anticipated
in the future that town staff' will work with teachers and students to facilitate field laboratory
experiments and water quality.
A Stormwater Advisory Group formed late in Year 1 but has not met yet. Although the group
was advertised at Planning Board and Town Council meetings and in the Town newsletter, Town
staff had difficulty finding citizens that wanted to serve on the committee. It is anti6patcd that
the group will meet twice annually, unless the members desire to meet more often.
We will continue to research ways to increase the involvement of the community in general, as
well as bL1SlnCSS and professional groups in the second permit year. Use o[ existing groups Such
as the Planning Board will be considered.

Implementation
On September 26, 2006, '['own staff received permission via email from Mike Randall to amend its
stormwater management plan to state that an Illicit Discharge Detection and hllminatlon Ordinance
(legal authority — 13MP (b)) would not be adopted until Year 3. The purpose of' this request was to
enable the town to focus on other requirements of the Phase I1 Storm�,vater Program. In its request,
Town staff committed to "follow up on any complaints of illicit discharge and work with property
and business owners to achieve voluntary compliance. In rare cases where no solution can be
reached, town staff will contact state DENR officials for assistance and advice."
The Town contracted with the Western Piedmont Council of Governments in Year 1 to develop a
storm sewer map identifying outfall locations and mapping stormwater drainage system components.
The map includes outfalls, drainage areas and receiving streams. Maiden will continue to update
this map as appropriate in Year 2 and in subsequent years.
Em

Several Town staff (including Public Works employees) participated in the Illicit Discharge
Detection and Elimination training sponsored by the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service
on September 14, 2006. Staff learned about the most common examples of illicit discharges, how to
identify them and what actions to take upon identification. In this training, town staff also received
information about "Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations". In Year 2 and in subsequent
years, Town staff will use the information gathered in these workshops to establish formal
procedures to trace and remove the sources of illicit discharge as well as procedures for identifying
target areas. During Year 2 and subsequent years, the staff will work to develop procedures for
routine field inspections of priority areas to identify sources of illicit discharge.
Information about illicit discharges was published in the Town's quarterly newsletter and discussed
at public meetings. Future efforts will target homeowners and businesses about the hazards
associated with illegal discharges and improper disposal of waste.
A public reporting mechanism was established on the Town of Maiden's stormwater webpage.
Respondents can call the Maiden "Town Hall, email the staff, call the 1-800-STOPMUD hotline or
complete the online reporting form sponsored by NCDENR. For emergencies on nights, holidays or
weekends, respondents are directed to call the Maiden Police Department. Spanish-speaking
residents are encouraged to email the town staff.

Implementation
This BMI' requires the development of an ordinance or similar regulatory mechanism to address
post -construction runoff controls for new development and redevelopment by the end of Year 2.
"Town staff' are working with the regional Stormwater Working Group to develop a Post -
Construction ordinance that can be adopted by all municipalities in Catawba County. It is
anticipated that this ordinance will be similar to the state model ordinance. "Town staff attended
-12-

L,�
a local training session at the Western Piedmont Council of Governments with Richard Whisnant
of the UNC School of Government on September 19 on the requirements for the post -
construction ordinance.
Once the Post -Construction ordinance is adopted, procedures for annual inspection of structural
BMPs will be established.
']'his BMP also requires that the sources of fecal coliform be controlled to the maximum extent
practicable. The Town ol' Maiden relies on the Catawba County Health Department to monitor
the operation and maintenance of on -site wastewater treatment systems. The To\vn also benefits
from the Unifour Septic Tank Program which helps low-income residents fund repairs and
maintenance to Falling septic tanks. In Year 2 and subscquernt years, the Town will work with

CONCLUSION
The Town of Maiden is actively working to implement all requirements of the Phase I Stormwater
Program. Year i activities were primarily directed at education of "Down staff, elected officials and
the general public. Town staff attended numerous trainings and meetings of' the Stormwater
Working Group to learn about different Facets of the Phase 11 Stormwater Program, share resources
and coordinate efforts where possible.
Development of this program has been difficult task for the municipality because adequate stall' to
implement the program does not currently exist and major staff' turnover has presented a major
obstacle. Year 2 and subsequent years will be devoted to improving on the deficiencies in our
current program and implementing the Post -Construction ordinance.
