"Complete a table below for each river basin within the MS4 service area. The web sites and resource contacts listed below
under Information Sources will help you locate the information you need. Storm water programs should be designed to
address the specific needs of the community and water resources they are intended to protect. If you haven't done so already,
collect information on your city's receiving waters and what pollutants and sources are impacting those waters. You should
also know
the various uses of your receiving waters so you can design a program to protect those uses. Complete a table below for each
river basin within the MS4 service area. The web sites and resource contacts listed below under Information Sources will help
you locate the information you need. "

Chapter 1
The Town of' Maiden contains an estimated 3,501 persons according; to the most recent (.July 1,
2008) US Census estimates. From the actual 2000 Census to the 2008 estimate the 'Town of
Maiden has an estimated growth rate of seven percent. The Town of Maiden proper contains
5.21 square miles (est.) with an additional 5.86 square miles of ET.l. Both areas are served by
either Town maintained stormwater controls or North Carolina Department ol'TransportatiOil
maintained controls. NCDOT maintains all stormwater systems located in the E.T.J. These
controls are predominantly open ditch/grass swales and piped curb inlets.
Land use estimates within any small Town are difficult due to land ownership changes. The
Planning; Departments best estimates are that 48% of all land is used for residential purposes.
Commercial property makes up an estimated 6% of all land. Industrial land use is around 36%
with the remaining 10% left in open space. This open space is predominantly made up of creeks,
tloodplain, parks, and areas awaiting expansion of existing; land uses.
Currently the Town of Maiden is not under a 'TM DL.
Chapter 2
The Town of Maiden's current Town limits all drain to the Catawba River. Clarks Creek a
tributary of the Catawba is listed as an impaired stream due to pollution from the City of
Newton's waste water treatment plant.
Chapter 3
The Town of Maiden participates in two state programs with the Planning Department being the
primary local day to day operations body. These two programs include a local water supply
watershed program and Phase II stormwater program,

Chapter 6
The Town of Maiden has partnered with two other agencies to insure proper implementation of
certain sections of the Phase 11 permit. Tile first is with Catawba Co. Erosion and Sedimentation
Control. Toni Norton, PIS, is responsible for all erosion control plans, inspections and
enforcement for all sites over one acre. Toni may be reached at [phone]. All sites under
one acre fall to the Town of Maiden Planning Department [phone]. The Town also
partners with Catawba County Environmental Health for all septic tank inspections / permitting
and enforcement. The primary contact is Mike Cash at (828) 3201-3067.
Chapter 7
7.1 The Town of Maiden like most small towns is under very tight fiscal pressure and staff
time requirements. This greatly reduces the opportunities that the Planning Department has to
work with the public towards education. The Town publishes a news letter every quarter and
dedicates it highly visible panel to stormwater education. Additionally every year Maiden
Elementary and Tuttle F lementary second grade students visit the planning department to learn
more about how different jobs in the community work. This opportunity is always taken to
educate the children on why stormwater is important. This program has been very successful for
the past three years. The "Town has also placed storm drain markers (Aluminum) to inform the
public not to dump anything down storm drains. Within the Hickory and Charlotte region cross
education is very common. Some of these include Catawba River Fest and public spots on TV,
Radio and in printed materials.

7.2 Public involvement and participation is extremely difficult in a small town. There are
very few civic organizations and very little public interest in stormwater unless it is directly
impacting a property owner. While every opportunity is taken for education and to encourage
involvement beyond public meetings, with mostly negative visions of the costs of'stormwater, no
public involvement has been achieved.
7.3 Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDIE) program in the Town has been very
successful. "This is mostly attributed to the "Town taking the unprecedented steps of hosting a
training session, with Mitch Woodward, on the subject as no other entities seems to be capable of
do so regularly. "this training was made available to other government agencies ($5.00) as well
as the local stormwater group (free). Town staff, including all Public Works staff, has kept an
eye out for any discharges and has reported them to the Planning Department. It should be noted
that only three reports have been filed and one offender properly identified. The successful
elimination involved the straight piping of washing machine, resulting in a plumbing upgrade to
the building. The other two reported cases have been suds in a small creek. While staff has
attempted to locate the source it is still under investigation as the source has not been consistent.
In many cases the Public Works staff has informed/educated citizens not to dump as it would
result in a report being tiled. This vigilance as stopped an unknown number of spills.
7A Construction site stormwater controls have been very well enforced with the combined
forces of the Town of maiden Planning Department and Catawba Co. Erosion Control. The
combined group has gained a reputation of being very tuff and hard to work with on the subject
resulting in very good adherence to the regulations. Any violations found are usually corrected
within hours of an inspectors visit. Inspections are random usually involve the Planning
Department driving by the site on a regular basis.
7.5 The management of Post -Construction Stormwater Management in new developments
and redevelopments has been very successful despite a down economy. This can be mostly
attributed to the local stormwater working group that has allowed all Hickory Metro area Phase
I communities to work together. This has enabled the smaller communities to increase their
working knowledge and receive local assistance with local problems. Most importantly this
group has reduced the work load and has allowed for all communities to utilize the same
operations manual and review requirements. This has been very beneficial in assisting
developers with having only one set of local regulations to work with as well as avoid
inconsistent interpretation of regulations. This model should be suggested in other parts of the
state.
7.6 Pollution prevention and good housekeeping for municipal operations is the most
difficult to achieve. Simple changes in the day to day operations and Mitch Woodward's training
session have increased awareness however the costs of completely overhauling the Town's
operations make this a difficult to achieve goal. To assist those small towns who are in greatest
financial need to upgrade facilities to a higher standard grants should be offered at a zero to 109/o
match. This will allow small communities to afford the new standards of pollution prevention
and good housekeeping.

1. STORM SEWER SYSTEM INFORMATION
1.1 Population Served: The permanent population of Maiden based on the 2000 US
Census is 3,177. The population of the Town does not vary seasonably.
1.2 Growth Rate: The population of Maiden according to the 1990 US Census was
2,470. The population of the Town based on the 2000 US Census was 3,177. The
population of the Town grew by 28.6% during the past decade or about 2.9%
annually. A copy of a report showing the corrected census count for 1990 and
2000 for Maiden appears as Attachment #1 in the Appendix.
1.3 Jurisdictional and MS4 Service Areas: The land -use jurisdictional area of the
Town includes parcels located within Maiden's corporate limits as well as an
established extraterritorial jurisdictional area (ETJ). Collectively, these areas total
9.8 mi2. A copy of a map showing the extent of the Town's planning area appears
as Attachment #2 in the Appendix.
1.4 MS4 Conveyance System: About 50% of the streets in Town have curb and
gutter systems for transporting stormwater. Curb and gutter systems are required
in new subdivisions. In addition, the Town uses Powell Bill funds annually
(about $50,000) to install curb and gutter systems on existing Town -owned
streets. Swales and ditches transport stormwater along the remaining streets in
Town, and culverts under driveways and streets are used to pipe water. Crowns
on many of these roads direct runoff to both sides of the street, Maintenance of
the system is handled by Town staff.
1.5 Land Use Composition Estimates: Table 1 below provides information on the
estimated percentage of the MS4 service area that is classified as residential,
commercial, industrial and open space.

1.6 Estimate Methodology: The land use estimates were obtained by a GIS analysis
of the zoning layer coverage of Maiden maintained by the Western Piedmont
Council of' Governments. Properties identified in specific zoning districts were
aggregated into the residential, commercial and industrial categories. For
example, parcels zoned C-1, C-2, 321-ED(MX) and 0-1 were grouped together to
estimate the total arca for the "Commercial" Category. The Town of Maiden

owns three parks totaling 34.68 acres that contain the only dedicated open space
area in Town.
1.7 TMDL Identification: The western portion of the Town's MS4 system discharges
into Clark Creek, which appears on the NC Division of Water Quality's draft
2002 303d list of impaired waters.

7.1 Public Education and Outreach on Storm Water Impacts
7.1.1 BMP Summary Table 7.1.1 describes the activities the Town will
undertake to meet the State's public education and outreach requirements.
7.1.2 The Town has relatively few commercial properties. 'Thus the primary
target audience for the public education component of' the Town's
stormwater program will consist of homeowners residing within the
Town's planning area. Business owners in Town will also receive
targeted educational materials explaining how stormwater impacts can be
minimized from these commercial operations.

7.1.3 Multiple segments of Clark Creek within the Town's planning area appear
in DWQ's draft 2002 impaired waters list. The likely sources of
impairment identified by DWQ are varied and include municipal and
industrial point sources, intentional channelization, agriculture and urban
runoff/storm sewers. Several of these contributors to impaired conditions
such as point source impacts and agriculture can be best addressed through
other existing programs (for example, the NPDES permitting program or
point -source impacts and programs offered by USDA-NRCS for
agricultural runoff control). However, water quality impairment related to
urban runoff will be a focal point of this plan. A point of emphasis in the
education tools distributed to homeowners and businesses alike will
discuss how stormwater runoff can contribute to poor water quality
conditions. Strategies will be provided on how stormwater volume can be
minimized and how pollutant loadings can be reduced associated with
activities occurring near residential and business areas.
7.1.4 A combination of brochures and utility/tax bill inserts will be used for
distributing information about stormwater to homeowners in Town.
Because of the relatively small number of businesses, educational
materials will be direct mailed to these proprietors.
7.1.5 Urban runoff has been identified as a major source of impairment
affecting Clark Creek. For this reason, educational opportunities will
concentrate on what homeowners and business owners can do to reduce
pollutant loading and minimize stormwater volume. Individual BMPs
were selected that would be effective in communicating general
stormwater education to the public, and that could utilize existing Town
resources or programs in doing so. The Town Manager will be the person
responsible for supervising this, and all other aspects, of the Town's
stormwater program.
7.1.6 The success of this particular minimum measure will be evaluated based
on the following: the number of stormwater educational materials
distributed to homeowners; the number of Town events where educational
materials and displays were available; the number of business receiving
stormwater materials; and the number of people attending stormwater
workshops.
7.2 Public Involvement and Participation
7.2.1 BMI' Summary Table 7.2.1 describes the activities the Town will
undertake to meet the State's public involvement and participation
requirements.
7.2.2 Because Maiden is a small, rural community, the Town's population is
relatively homogenous ethnically, racially, socio-economically and

culturally. The focus of this component of the Town's stormwater
program will again be involving primarily homeowners and people in
planning, oversight, and community involvement activities.
7.2.3. An advertised public hearing before the Town Council was held to receive
public comment on the Town's stormwater program prior to its official
adaptation by the Town Council. As an integral component to the public
involvement requirement, the Town will establish a citizen stormwater
council that will help staff evaluate the effectiveness of the Town's
program over time and suggest changes to the program as deemed
necessary.
T2.4. Because Maiden is a relatively small town, a limited number of organized
civic and community groups exist. For this reason, it will be difficult to
find individuals and organizations willing to actively participate in
activities such as storm drain stenciling and adopt -a -stream programs.
One of the roles of the stormwater council will be to identify over time
individuals in the community with expertise in various stormwater topics
willing to educate others about stormwater impacts, as well as identify
organizations willing to participate in stormwater-related activities and
projects.
7.2.5. The success of this particular minimum measure will be evaluated based
on the following: the number of meetings held by the citizen stormwater
council and the number of phone calls received by the Town reporting
water quality violations or expressing concerns regarding water quality.
7.3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
7.3.1. BMP Summary Table 7.3.1 describes the activities the Town will
undertake to meet the State's illicit discharge detection and elimination
requirements.
7.3.2. The Town is completing a project that will display contour lines overlaid
on a map of the Town's planning area. This map will also include the
location of outfalls and storm drains. This map will assist the Town in
displaying and quantifying the movement of direction flow of stormwater
to specific receiving streams. Field data is also being collected using GPS
technology and is being stored, manipulated and mapped using GIS. This
work is scheduled to be completed by May, 2004. The information being
collected for this effort can be displayed with previously collected data
layers including roads, zoning, and parcel data. The development,
analysis, and storage of this information in a GIS-data base will facilitate
the regular updating of these maps on an anticipated five-year interval.

7.3.3. The Town will adopt a Stormwater Management Ordinance. This
ordinance will prohibit the discharge of materials to streams that are not
carried in stormwater or covered under a NPDES permit issued the North
Carolina Department of Health and Natural Resources. This ordinance
will be adopted by Maiden by the end of Year I of the Town's stormwater
program. (Maiden will be adopting a stormwater protection ordinance
prohibiting nonstormwater discharges similar in nature to that adopted by
Greensboro, NC - see Attachment #5 in the Appendix.)
7.3.4. The Stormwater Management Ordinance will continue to be enforced by
the Town's Zoning Administrator.
7.3.5. Detection and Elimination
7.3.5,1. High priority areas will include streams draining businesses
located along Business US 321, Boyd Street and Union
Street. These areas represent the older commercial and
industrial areas of Town and are likely to contain the
majority of illicit discharges or connections to the storm
system such as floor drains. Over time, as educational
outreach efforts are implemented, calls frorn citizens and
businesses may help identify other priority areas.
7.3.5.2. Streams are currently walked monthly to inspect sewer
outfalls as part of the Town's NPDES requirements. Most
sewer lines run along the length of their respective streams
due to gradient. The Town has existing utility easements in
place that allow staff access to these lines and streams for
conducting inspections and needed maintenance.
Suspicious appearing discharges are typically traced to
their point of origin and when warranted, dye tests are
performed.
7.3.5.3. A letter from the Town will be sent to the noncompliant
individual or business notifying them that they are in
violation of the Town's Stormwater Management
Ordinance. Emphasis will be placed on obtaining
voluntary compliance initially. However, if the
violator does not take action to comply with the
Town's ordinance, the Town will take appropriate legal
action to ensure removal of the illicit discharge.
7.3.5.4. A major responsible of the Town's Stormwater Advisory
Council will be to evaluate the effectiveness of all program
elements and suggest changes where appropriate.

be used to educate homeowners and businesses about the hazards
associated with illegal discharges and the improper disposal of wastes.
Educational outreach efforts will include mailings and public workshops.
Town employees and contractors will receive instruction on the proper
handling of wastes via employee training as listed under Pollution
Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations.
7.3.9. In conjunction with Town staff, the Town's Stormwater Advisory Council
will evaluate the effectiveness of all program elements and suggest
changes where appropriate.
7.3.10. This program component will be evaluated by documenting the number of
illegal discharges removed, recording the number of businesses and
homeowners receiving educational information about illicit discharges and
proper storage of wastes, and documenting the number of Town
employees and contractors receiving training in this area.
7.4. Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control
The Town will continue to rely on the Land Quality Section with the NC
Department of Environment and Natural Resources' Regional Office in
Mooresville to administer the state's sediment/erosion control regulations within
the Town's planning jurisdiction.
7.5. Post -Construction Storm Water Management in New Development and
Redevelopment
7.5.8. See BMP Summary Table 7.5.8.1 found on the following page.
7.5.9.1. The Town currently administers a Water Supply Watershed
Protection Ordinance that places limits on density and
impervious surfaces regarding new development for a
portion of the Town's planning area.
7.5.9.1 The "Town has no policies or ordinances that specifically
encourage infill development.
7.5.9.3. The Town currently has no education programs in place.
7

7.5.9.4. The Town has no measures or programs currently in place
as described.
7.5,10.1. The Town currently does not allow engineered stormwater
control structures to be built for controlling runoff. The
Town has adopted the 10%/70% option for the WS-II
balance of the watershed area for the Allen Creek
Watershed. New development that occurs within the
remainder of the Town's planning area that occupies a
water supply watershed must be developed under the low -
density option.
7.5.10.2. Grass swales and ditches collect and transport runoff along
about 50%n of the streets in Town.
7.5.10.3. The Town does not require infiltration basins or trenches
under any of its land use regulations.
7.5.11. The Town currently administers a water supply watershed protection
ordinance in about 20% of the Town's planning jurisdiction. It is the
Town's intent to amend this existing ordinance to meet the Phase 11 post -
construction runoff requirements in the remainder of the Town's planning
area. A copy this ordinance appears as Attachment #6 in the Appendix.
7.5.12. The Town currently has no provisions or guidelines covering the annual
inspection of stormwater control structures since these BMPs are not
allowed under the Town's existing watershed protection ordinance.
7.5,13.1. The Town will amend its current water supply watershed
protection ordinance and administer this ordinance for the
Town's entire planning area for managing stormwater
associated with new development and redevelopment
projects.
7.5.13.2. The program will be locally tailored by amending the
Town's current water supply watershed protection
ordinance, where appropriate, and administering this
ordinance throughout the Town's planning area.
Educational materials will also be available at the Town
Hall for distribution to homeowners on proper septic tank
care and maintenance.
7.5.14. The success of the post -construction ordinance will be measured in part on
how many new development and redevelopment projects are affected by
the ordinance annually. The success of the septic tank maintenance
,1

program will be evaluated by how many brochures or pamphlets are
distributed annually.
7.6. Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
7.6.1. BMP Summary Table 7.6.1 for this component of the Town's stormwater
program can be found on the following page.
7.6.2. Except for its sanitary sewer system, all of the Town's municipal
operations are either outsourced, such as solid waste pickup and road
maintenance, or handled by other entities, such water line extension and
maintenance by the Maiden Water Corporation. The Town does not own
or operate any industrial facilities that have received a General Stormwater
Permit.
7.6.3. The Town will require contractors that regularly work for the Town to
attend stormwater management workshops. The Town does not have any
existing materials it plans to use for meeting the Pollution
Prevention/Good Housekeeping requirement. However, the Town
anticipates that existing training and education materials available from
sources such as US EPA, NC State University and NC Cooperative
Extension Service will likely be sufficient to educate contractors about
minimizing stormwater impacts associated with their routine activities.
7.6.4. The Town has an Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) Program that results in
scheduled inspections of part of the Town's sewer system each year. Flow
meters are used to identify unusually high flows in the system. When
these atypical flows are documented, the lines are smoke tested and/or
shot with a camera to identify holes and cracks. Maintenance is
performed on the lines on an as needed basis.
7.6.5. The Town has a mechanic that oversees vehicle maintenance. Materials
employed for de-icing streets and sidewalks are stored uncover in a bin.
7.6.6. Waste materials from the MS4 are extracted or skimmed off. The
collected waste products are transported to the Catawba County Landfill
for disposal.
7.6.7. The Town has five streams that have riparian lands occupying a 100-year
floodplain: Allen Creek, Clark Creek, Maiden Creek, Put Gut Creek and
an unnamed tributary to Maiden Creek. New development projects slated
for these areas are reviewed by a committee consisting of the Town
Manager, Planner, Police Chief, Fire Chief and Public Works Director
prior to issuance of a building permit. Within the Town's water supply
watershed area, 100-foot vegetative buffers are required along Allen
Creek, Maiden Creek and Maiden Reservoir. All other perennial waters

7.6.8. The Town's water supply watershed protection ordinance will be re-
evaluated to determine if changes should be made to render this ordinance
more effective in minimizing runoff associated with new development,
encouraging more compact development projects, and providing greater
protection of natural waterways.
7.6.9. Not applicable.
7.6.10. The Pollution Prevention/Good Housing workshops will emphasize how
Town employees can reduce pollutant loadings associated with activities
that they are responsible for or directly conduct on a regular basis.
Employee responsibilities that fall within this category that receive
attention at these annual trainings include sewer line installation and
maintenance, vehicle maintenance, storage of materials (such as de-icing
compounds), and application and storage of pesticides and herbicides.
Land management and maintenance at the Town's parks will also be
covered. The Town Manager will be responsible for supervising this
aspect of the Stormwater Program.
7.6.11. Success will be measured based on the number of employee hours of
training received by Town staff on an annual basis. While more difficult
to quantify, success will also be evaluated based on changes in practices
and behaviors associated with Town operations that result in pollution
prevention and minimization as a result of training.

Population Census/Estimate/Projection 5001 : Depending on the year, this is the corrected census count (April 1
census year), or the estimate or projection from the State Demographer (April 1 census years, July 1 all other years).
A projection differs from an estimate in that it relies on certain assumptions about long-term trends in data which are
not yet available, while an estimate is based on data from predictor variables that are available for the estimate year.
See variable 100 (POPARS) for an age/race/sex breakdown of the same data for counties (also available as a topic
report).
POPULATION is useful as a denominator for deriving per capita versions of other variables. However, when
making per capita calculations from the BEA data (variables 3001-3187), use variable 3004 (BEAPOP) for the
denominator.
Note also that the numbers are rounded to the nearest 100 for years 1971-1979. Other years are not rounded: this is
not meant to imply that estimates and projections are accurate to the single digit but rather to allow greater precision
in deriving per capita figures.
For municipalities, POPULATION is available for 1970 and for 1980 through the current estimate year. There are
no projections for municipalities. As is the case for counties, the municipal numbers for the census years are I
percent counts and reflect all known corrections which have been issued by the Census Bureau. For the other years,
the figures are those published in 'North Carolina Municipal Population," usually available in the fall of the year
after the estimate year.
If you use LINC to retrieve population for all counties and municipalities, the county balance will show for years
1986 and following. For any year other than census years, the population estimates for municipalities, municipal
parts, and county balances are not adjusted to reflect subsequent revisions in the estimate of county population. The
municipal estimates are based on municipal boundaries for the estimate year. (Another set of estimates, used for
revenue distribution, is prepared based on the boundaries one year after the estimate year, but that set is not in the
LINC database.)
Occasionally, new incorporations occur, and past census figures are made available, as well as current estimates, for
the new places. Since these places did not exist as such at the time of the census, the census figures are separation
counts, and do not appear in census publications.
IMPORTANT: The municipal estimates for any year are generated independently from those of other years. This
practice allows flexibility for improvement in data sources and methods from year to year. Furthermore, changes in
municipal populations are heavily influenced by annexations. For these reasons, POPULATION should not be used
to track year-to-year trends for municipalities. Instead, its value for the year of interest should be compared with
values of census counts to show growth. However, POPULATION can be used at the county level to show year-to-
year trends.
The state total population may differ from the sum of counties due to rounding of estimates or projections.

protect, maintain, and enhance the public health, safety, and general
welfare by establishing minimum requirements and procedures to control
the adverse effects of increased stormwater runoff associated with new
development or redevelopment within the City of Greensboro. Proper
management of stormwater runoff, including the provision of appropriate
stream buffers, will minimize damage to public and private property,
promote a functional storm drainage system, reduce local flooding and
drainage problems, and maintain, to the extent practicable, the pre -
developed stormwater runoff characteristics of the developed site.
Applicability.
(1) Coverage. This section (Stormwater Management Control Requirements)
applies to the following type of developments.
a. All sites containing new development and/or redevelopment
including grading, paving, gravel placement, and construction of
buildings and other structures within the corporate limits and the
extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Greensboro.
b. The construction and installation of new public improvements by
local government agencies shalt comply with the provisions of this
article to the extent practicable.
Participation in a regional stormwater management facility.
(1) Where permitted. Where a regional stormwater management facility has
been established by one (1) or more local governments, or by an
authority operating on behalf of one (1) or more local governments, a
development may participate in said program in lieu of any certification of
runoff control required by this article, provided that:
a. Runoff from the development drains to an approved existing or
proposed public regional stormwater management facility that will
be operational within two (2) years;
b. Participation is in the form of contribution of funds, contribution of
land, contribution of stormwater management facility construction
work, or a combination of these, the total value of which shall be in
accordance with fee schedule adopted by the City Council; and

(2) Recordation of permanent improvements. All permanent stormwater
management improvements and associated access/maintenance
easement(s) shall be recorded on a final plat, and if required by section
27-22(e)(3), a mechanism to ensure their maintenance shall be
established concurrent with or prior to plat recordation.
(3) Maintenance responsibility.
a. When a stormwater management improvement serves more than
one (1) parcel, an owners' association or binding contract for the
purpose of maintenance is required. See section 30-6-10.1,
Establishment of Owners' Association, of the Greensboro
Development Ordinance.
b. The owner or owners' association shall be responsible for
maintaining the completed stormwater management improvement
as directed by the governmental office having jurisdiction for
stormwater management or by the approved maintenance plan. If

an owners' association is responsible for the maintenance of the
stormwater management improvements such responsibility must
be stated in the association declaration. An underground
oversized storm sewer system which is approved through TRC for
acceptance and maintenance by the city, carries public waters
and is located either in the dedicated street right-of-way or
drainage maintenance and utility easement is exempt from this
requirement.
The enforcement officer has the authority to inspect stormwater
management improvements and to notify the responsible property
owner or owners' association when maintenance or repairs are
required. All required repairs and maintenance shall be performed
within ninety (90) days after such notice. In case of failure by the
responsible party to perform the required maintenance or repairs
within the stated period, the city may perform such maintenance
or repairs and recover all costs attendant thereto from the property
owner or owners' association.
(f} Stream protection requirements.
(1) Stream channelization1piping.
a. Perennial streams, as defined by the Stormwater Management
Manual, within a designated water supply watershed may not be
channelized or piped, except for channelization permitted
pursuant to section 30-7-1.8(C), Stream Channelization.
b. Perennial streams that are outside of a designated water supply
watershed and other streams that are not classified as perennial
may be channelized or piped, but only after obtaining all
applicable federal and state permits and certifications.
(2) Stormwater management stream buffers. On any streams where section
30-7-1.8, Stream Buffer Required, requires a stream buffer, this section
will require the same buffer. On all other streams, or section of streams,
to which this section applies, stream buffers with minimum widths as
specified below shall be maintained along all open (1) perennial streams,
as defined by the Stormwater Management Manual, and (2) drainage
channels draining an area equal to or larger than fifty (50) acres.
a. The buffer shall consist of two (2) strips of land totaling a minimum
total width of fifty (50) feet on each side of the water body:
The first strip of land has a minimum width of fifteen (15)
feet measured horizontally from and perpendicular to the
top of stream bank, or the top of slopes steeper than
fifteen (15) percent, or the edge of contiguous sensitive
areas (i.e. wetlands). This first strip of land and the area
between this first strip of land and the first strip of land on
the other side of the water body is to be maintained free
from development including disturbance of the soil, grading
or filling, erection of structures, fences or placement of
built -upon surfaces except those associated with street

and driveway crossings, utility crossings, and installation of
stormwater management facilities where no practicable
alternative exists.
The second strip of land has a minimum width of thirty-five (35) feet
measured horizontally from and perpendicular to the landward edge of
the first strip of land. This second strip of land is to be maintained free
from occupied structures and shall maintain a built -upon area below fifty
(50) percent with the exception of public or private street crossings.
(g) Stormwater management requirements.
(1) Stormwater management requirements for all new development and
redevelopment shall consist of, as a minimum, runoff control measures
necessary to control runoff to a level which will not cause increased off -
site quantity problems as specified in (2) and (3) below.
(2) Quantity control requirements.
a. The engineer shall provide a certification that said development or
redevelopment would not cause increased offsite flooding,
drainage, or erosion problems. Determination of impacts shall be
based on hydrologic and hydraulic engineering studies extending
downstream to a point where the proposed site development or
redevelopment represents less than ten (10) percent of the total
drainage area or watershed. The studies shall be based on an
analysis of both two- and ten-year storm events. (see Stormwater
Management Manual).
b. Where it is determined that the development of the said site does
contribute to flooding, drainage or soil erosion problems at any
location between the proposed development site and the ten (10)
percent downstream point then stormwater quantity control
improvements must be implemented. The stormwater quantity
control improvements must limit the two-year and ten-year post -
development peak discharge rates to pre -development peak
discharge rates, to minimize increased flooding, drainage, and
erosion problems. These improvements may consist of
nonstructural approaches such as natural swales, depressions in
the land and other natural approaches, or structural approaches
such as detention structures (wet and dry basins), extended
detention facilities and alternative best management practices with
provisions for stormwater quantity control. A combination of
nonstructural and structural approaches is encouraged.
C. For stormwater management improvements that are proposed to
be implemented to meet the quantity control requirements of this
section, a hydrologic -hydraulic analysis of the site drainage
system in the pre -development condition and the post -
development condition shall be performed. The analysis should be
included with the stormwater management plan and should
demonstrate that the quantity control requirements stated in
section 27-22(h)(2) will be achieved by the proposed
improvements. These improvements shall be subject to review

and approval by the enforcement officer.
(3) Developments that meet the requirement for being identified as an
integrated multiple use developments, planned unit developments,
phased developments or group developments can meet the requirements
of section 27-22(g) at the point the discharge leaves the overall property.
(h) Master plan requirements. It is the intent of the City of Greensboro to produce
stormwater quantity and quality management master plans to guide the design
and development of the drainage system for all of the major sub -watersheds and
watersheds in the city. Where such master plans are available and approved by
the city council, site development projects are to conform to the stormwater
management guidance and standards available in said master plans.
(i) Additional requirements. If site characteristics indicate that complying with the
minimum stormwater management requirements of this section will not provide
adequate designs or protection for local residents, and downstream property, it
shall be the site designer's responsibility to exceed the minimum requirements as
necessary.
(j) Exempt activities. The following activities are exempt from the requirements of
section 27-22(g). However, any restrictions upon building location, drainageways,
pavement, or other built -upon area, or any other matter appearing on any
previously approved development plan covering the subject property, shall be
complied with unless and until replaced by an approved revised plan.
(1) Individual single-family housing on an individual lot.
(2) Replacement of existing built -upon area with like or lesser amount of new
built -upon at the same location, or at a different location on the same
zone lot if the enforcement officer has determined that equal or improved
stormwater management will result.
(3) Placement of small accessory buildings or structures or small amounts of
additional built -upon area provided that the total additional built -upon area
is no greater than four hundred (400) square feet.

1. STORM SEWER SYSTEM INFORMATION
1.1 Population Served: The permanent population of Maiden based on the 2000 US
Census is 3,177. The population of the Town does not vary seasonably.
1.2 Growth Rate: The population of Maiden according to the 1990 US Census was
2,470. The population of the Town based on the 2000 US Census was 3,177. The
population of the Town grew by 28.6% during the past decade or about 2.9%
annually. A copy of a report showing the corrected census count for 1990 and
2000 for Maiden appears as Attachment #1 in the Appendix.
1.3 Jurisdictional and MS4 Service Areas: The land -use jurisdictional area of the
Town includes parcels located within Maiden's corporate limits as well as an
established extraterritorial jurisdictional area (ETJ). Collectively, these areas total
9.8 mi2. A copy of a map showing the extent of the Town's planning area appears
as Attachment #2 in the Appendix.
1.4 MS4 Conveyance System: About 50% of the streets in Town have curb and
gutter systems for transporting stormwater. Curb and gutter systems are required
in new subdivisions. In addition, the Town uses Powell Bill funds annually
(about $50,000) to install curb and gutter systems on existing Town -owned
streets. Swales and ditches transport stormwater along the remaining streets in
Town, and culverts under driveways and streets are used to pipe water. Crowns
on many of these roads direct runoff to both sides of the street. Maintenance of
the system is handled by Town staff.
1.5 Land Use Composition Estimates: Table I below provides information on the
estimated percentage of the MS4 service area that is classified as residential,
commercial, industrial and open space.

1.6 Estimate Methodology: The land use estimates were obtained by a GIS analysis
of the zoning layer coverage of Maiden maintained by the Western Piedmont
Council of Governments. Properties identified in specific zoning districts were
aggregated into the residential, commercial and industrial categories. For
example, parcels zoned C-1, C-2, 321-ED(MX) and O-I were grouped together to
estimate the total area for the "Commercial" Category. The Town of Maiden

owns three parks totaling 34.68 acres that contain the only dedicated open space
area in Town.
1.7 TMDL Identification: The western portion of the Town's MS4 system discharges
into Clark Creek, which appears on the NC Division of Water Quality's draft
2002 303d list of impaired waters.

3. EXISTING WATER QUALITY PROGRAMS
3.1 Local Programs: The Town of Maiden has adopted and is administering a local
water supply watershed protection ordinance. This ordinance currently covers
about 20% of the northeast portion of the Town's planning area. The affected
land area is classified as a WS-II watershed.

7.1 Public Education and Outreach on Storm Water Impacts
7.1.1 BMP Summary Table 7.1. l describes the activities the Town will
undertake to meet the State's public education and outreach requirements.
7.1.2 The Town has relatively few commercial properties. Thus the primary
target audience for the public education component of the Town's
stormwater program will consist of homeowners residing within the
Town's planning area. Business owners in Town will also receive
targeted educational materials explaining how stormwater impacts can be
minimized from these commercial operations.

7.1.3 Multiple segments of Clark Creek within the Town's planning area appear
in DWQ's draft 2002 impaired waters list. The likely sources of
impairment identified by DWQ are varied and include municipal and
industrial point sources, intentional channelization, agriculture and urban
runoff/storm sewers. Several of these contributors to impaired conditions
such as point source impacts and agriculture can be best addressed through
other existing programs (for example, the NPDES permitting program or
point -source impacts and programs offered by USDA-NRCS for
agricultural runoff control). However, water quality impairment related to
urban runoff will be a focal point of this plan. A point of emphasis in the
education tools distributed to homeowners and businesses alike will
discuss how stormwater runoff can contribute to poor water quality
conditions. Strategies will be provided on how stormwater volume can be
minimized and how pollutant loadings can be reduced associated with
activities occurring near residential and business areas.
7.1.4 A combination of brochures and utility/tax bill inserts will be used for
distributing information about stormwater to homeowners in Town.
Because of the relatively small number of businesses, educational
materials will be direct mailed to these proprietors.
7.1.5 Urban runoff has been identified as a major source of impairment
affecting Clark Creek. For this reason, educational opportunities will
concentrate on what homeowners and business owners can do to reduce
pollutant loading and minimize stormwater volume. Individual BMPs
were selected that would be effective in communicating general
stormwater education to the public, and that could utilize existing Town
resources or programs in doing so. The Town Manager will be the person
responsible for supervising this, and all other aspects, of the Town's
stormwater program.
7.1.6 The success of this particular minimum measure will be evaluated based
on the following; the number of stormwater educational materials
distributed to homeowners; the number of Town events where educational
materials and displays were available; the number of business receiving
stormwater materials; and the number of people attending stormwater
workshops.
7.2 Public Involvement and Participation
7.2.1 BMP Summary Table 7.2.1 describes the activities the Town will
undertake to meet the State's public involvement and participation
requirements.
7.2.2 Because Maiden is a small, rural community, the Town's population is
relatively homogenous ethnically, racially, socio-economically and

culturally. The focus of this component of the Town's stormwater
program will again be involving primarily homeowners and people in
planning, oversight, and community involvement activities.
7.2.3. An advertised public hearing before the Town Council was held to receive
public comment on the Town's stormwater program prior to its official
adaptation by the Town Council. As an integral component to the public
involvement requirement, the Town will establish a citizen stormwater
council that will help staff evaluate the effectiveness of the Town's
program over time and suggest changes to the program as deemed
necessary.
7.2.4. Because Maiden is a relatively small town, a limited number of organized
civic and community groups exist. For this reason, it will be difficult to
find individuals and organizations willing to actively participate in
activities such as storm drain stenciling and adopt -a -stream programs.
One of the roles of the stormwater council will be to identify over time
individuals in the community with expertise in various stormwater topics
willing to educate others about stormwater impacts, as well as identify
organizations willing to participate in stormwater-related activities and
projects.
7.2.5. The success of this particular minimum measure will be evaluated based
on the following: the number of meetings held by the citizen stormwater
council and the number of phone calls received by the Town reporting
water quality violations or expressing concerns regarding water quality.
7.3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
7.3.1. BMP Summary Table 7.3.1 describes the activities the Town will
undertake to meet the State's illicit discharge detection and elimination
requirements.
7.32. The Town is completing a project that will display contour lines overlaid
on a map of the Town's planning area. This map will also include the
location of outfalls and storm drains. This map will assist the Town in
displaying and quantifying the movement of direction flow of stormwater
to specific receiving streams. Field data is also being collected using GPS
technology and is being stored, manipulated and mapped using GIS. This
work is scheduled to be completed by May, 2004. The information being
collected for this effort can be displayed with previously collected data
layers including roads, zoning, and parcel data. The development,
analysis, and storage of this information in a GIS-data base will facilitate
the regular updating of these maps on an anticipated five-year interval.

7.3.3. The Town will adopt a Stormwater Management Ordinance. This
ordinance will prohibit the discharge of materials to streams that are not
carried in stormwater or covered under a NPDES permit issued the North
Carolina Department of Health and Natural Resources. This ordinance
will be adopted by Maiden by the end of Year 1 of the Town's stormwater
program. (Maiden will be adopting a stormwater protection ordinance
prohibiting nonstormwater discharges similar in nature to that adopted by
Greensboro, NC - see Attachment #5 in the Appendix.)
7.3.4. The Stormwater Management Ordinance will continue to be enforced by
the Town's Zoning Administrator.
7.3.5. Detection and Elimination
7.3.5.1. High priority areas will include streams draining businesses
located along Business US 321, Boyd Street and Union
Street. These areas represent the older commercial and
industrial areas of Town and are likely to contain the
majority of illicit discharges or connections to the storm
system such as floor drains. Over time, as educational
outreach efforts are implemented, calls from citizens and
businesses may help identify other priority areas.
7.3.5.2. Streams are currently walked monthly to inspect sewer
outfalls as part of the Town's NPDES requirements. Most
sewer lines run along the length of their respective streams
due to gradient. The Town has existing utility easements in
place that allow staff access to these lines and streams for
conducting inspections and needed maintenance.
Suspicious appearing discharges are typically traced to
their point of origin and when warranted, dye tests are
performed.
7.3.5.3. A letter from the Town will be sent to the noncompliant
individual or business notifying them that they are in
violation of the Town's Stormwater Management
Ordinance. Emphasis will be placed on obtaining
voluntary compliance initially. However, if the
violator does not take action to comply with the
Town's ordinance, the Town will take appropriate legal
action to ensure removal of the illicit discharge.
7.3.5.4. A major responsible of the Town's Stormwater Advisory
Council will be to evaluate the effectiveness of all program
elements and suggest changes where appropriate.

associated with illegal discharges and the improper disposal of wastes.
Educational outreach efforts will include mailings and public workshops.
Town employees and contractors will receive instruction on the proper
handling of wastes via employee training as listed under Pollution
Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations.
7.3.9. In conjunction with Town staff, the Town's Stormwater Advisory Council
will evaluate the effectiveness of all program elements and suggest
changes where appropriate.
7.3.10. This program component will be evaluated by documenting the number of
illegal discharges removed, recording the number of businesses and
homeowners receiving educational information about illicit discharges and
proper storage of wastes, and documenting the number of Town
employees and contractors receiving training in this area.
7.4. Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control
The Town will continue to rely on the Land Quality Section with the NC
Department of Environment and Natural Resources' Regional Office in
Mooresville to administer the state's sedimentlerosion control regulations within
the Town's planning jurisdiction.
7.5. Post -Construction Storm Water Management in New Development and
Redevelopment
7.5.8. See BMP Summary Table 7.5.8. t found on the following page.
7.5.9.1. The Town currently administers a Water Supply Watershed
Protection Ordinance that places limits on density and
impervious surfaces regarding new development for a
portion of the Town's planning area.
7.5.9.2. The Town has no policies or ordinances that specifically
encourage infill development.
7.5.9.3. The Town currently has no education programs in place.
7

7.5.9.4. The Town has no measures or programs currently in place
as described.
7.5.10.1. The Town currently does not allow engineered stormwater
control structures to be built for controlling runoff. The
Town has adopted the 10%/70% option for the WS-II
balance of the watershed area for the Allen Creek
Watershed. New development that occurs within the
remainder of the Town's planning area that occupies a
water supply watershed must be developed under the low -
density option.
7.5.10.2. Grass swales and ditches collect and transport runoff along
about 50% of the streets in Town.
7.5.10.3. The Town does not require infiltration basins or trenches
under any of its land use regulations.
7.5.11. The Town currently administers a water supply watershed protection
ordinance in about 20% of the Town's planning jurisdiction. It is the
Town's intent to amend this existing ordinance to meet the Phase II post -
construction runoff requirements in the remainder of the Town's planning
area. A copy this ordinance appears as Attachment #6 in the Appendix.
7.5.12. The Town currently has no provisions or guidelines covering the annual
inspection of stormwater control structures since these BMPs are not
allowed under the Town's existing watershed protection ordinance.
7.5.13.1. The Town will amend its current water supply watershed
protection ordinance and administer this ordinance for the
Town's entire planning area for managing stormwater
associated with new development and redevelopment
projects.
7.5.13.2. The program will be locally tailored by amending the
Town's current water supply watershed protection
ordinance, where appropriate, and administering this
ordinance throughout the Town's planning area.
Educational materials will also be available at the Town
Hall for distribution to homeowners on proper septic tank
care and maintenance.
7.5.14. The success of the post -construction ordinance will be measured in part on
how many new development and redevelopment projects are affected by
the ordinance annually. The success of the septic tank maintenance

program will be evaluated by how many brochures or pamphlets are
distributed annually.
7.6. Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
7.6.1. BMP Summary Table 7.6.1 for this component of the Town's stormwater
program can be found on the following page.
7.6.2. Except for its sanitary sewer system, all of the Town's municipal
operations are either outsourced, such as solid waste pickup and road
maintenance, or handled by other entities, such water line extension and
maintenance by the Maiden Water Corporation. The Town does not own
or operate any industrial facilities that have received a General Stormwater
Permit.
7.6.3. The Town will require contractors that regularly work for the Town to
attend stormwater management workshops. The Town does not have any
existing materials it plans to use for meeting the Pollution
Prevention/Good Housekeeping requirement. However, the Town
anticipates that existing training and education materials available from
sources such as US EPA, NC State University and NC Cooperative
Extension Service will likely be sufficient to educate contractors about
minimizing stormwater impacts associated with their routine activities.
7.6.4. The Town has an Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) Program that results in
scheduled inspections of part of the Town's sewer system each year. Flow
meters are used to identify unusually high flows in the system. When
these atypical flows are documented, the lines are smoke tested and/or
shot with a camera to identify holes and cracks. Maintenance is
performed on the lines on an as needed basis.
7.6.5. The Town has a mechanic that oversees vehicle maintenance. Materials
employed for de-icing streets and sidewalks are stored uncover in a bin.
7.6.6. Waste materials from the MS4 are extracted or skimmed off. The
collected waste products are transported to the Catawba County Landfill
for disposal.
7.6.7. The Town has five streams that have riparian lands occupying a 100-year
floodplain: Allen Creek, Clark Creek, Maiden Creek, Put Gut Creek and
an unnamed tributary to Maiden Creek. New development projects slated
for these areas are reviewed by a committee consisting of the Town
Manager, Planner, Police Chief, Fire Chief and Public Works Director
prior to issuance of a building permit. Within the Town's water supply
watershed area, 100-foot vegetative buffers are required along Allen
Creek, Maiden Creek and Maiden Reservoir. All other perennial waters

7.6.8. The Town's water supply watershed protection ordinance will be re-
evaluated to determine if changes should be made to render this ordinance
more effective in minimizing runoff associated with new development,
encouraging more compact development projects, and providing greater
protection of natural waterways.
7.6.9. Not applicable.
7.6.10. The Pollution Prevention/Good Housing workshops will emphasize how
Town employees can reduce pollutant loadings associated with activities
that they are responsible for or directly conduct on a regular- basis.
Employee responsibilities that fall within this category that receive
attention at these annual trainings include sewer line installation and
maintenance, vehicle maintenance, storage of materials (such as de-icing
compounds), and application and storage of pesticides and herbicides.
Land management and maintenance at the Town's parks will also be
covered. The Town Manager will be responsible for supervising this
aspect of the Stormwater Program.
7.6.11. Success will be measured based on the number of employee hours of
training received by Town staff on an annual basis. While more difficult
to quantify, success will also be evaluated based on changes in practices
and behaviors associated with Town operations that result in pollution
prevention and minimization as a result of training.

Data Derinitions
Population (Census/Estimate/Projection) (5001): Depending on the year, this is the corrected census count (April
census year), or the estimate or projection from the State Demographer (April I census years, July I all other years).
A projection differs from an estimate in that it relies on certain assumptions about long-term trends in data which are
not yet available, while an estimate is based on data from predictor variables that are available for the estimate year.
See variable 100 (POPARS) for an age/race/sex breakdown of the same data for counties (also available as a topic
report).
POPULATION is useful as a denominator for deriving per capita versions of other variables. However, when
making per capita calculations from the BEA data (variables 3001-3187), use variable 3004 (BEAPOP) for the
denominator.
Note also that the numbers are rounded to the nearest 100 for years 1971-1979. Other years are not rounded: this is
not meant to imply that estimates and projections are accurate to the single digit but rather to allow greater precision
in deriving per capita figures.
For municipalities, POPULATION is available for 1970 and for 1980 through the current estimate year. There are
Po projections for municipalities. 'As is the case for counties, the municipal numbers for the census years are 1W
percent counts and reflect all known corrections which have been issued by. the Census Bureau. For the other years,
the figures are those published in "North Carolina Municipal Population," usually available in the fall of the year
after the estimate year.
If you use LINC to retrieve population for all counties and municipalities, the county balance will show for years
1986 and following. For any year other than census years, the population estimates for municipalities, municipal
parts, and county balances are not adjusted to reflect subsequent revisions in the estimate of county population, The
municipal estimates are based on municipal boundaries for the estimate year. (Another set of estimates, used for
revenue distribution, is prepared based on the boundaries one year after the estimate year, but that set is not in the
LINC database.)
Occasionally, new incorporations occur, and past census figures are made available, as well as current estimates, for
the new places. Since these places did not exist as such at the time of the census, the census figures are separation
counts, and do not appear in census publications.
IMPORTANT: The municipal estimates for any year are generated independently from those of other years. This
practice allows flexibility for improvement in data sources and methods from year to year. Furthermore, changes in
municipal populations are heavily influenced by annexations. For these reasons, POPULATION should not be used
to track year-to-year trends for municipalities. Instead, its value for the year of interest should be compared with
values of census counts to show growth. However, POPULATION can be used at the county level to show year-to-
year trends.
The state total population may differ from the sum of counties due to rounding of estimates or projections.

welfare by establishing minimum requirements and procedures to control
the adverse effects of increased stormwater runoff associated with new
development or redevelopment within the City of Greensboro. Proper
management of stormwater runoff, including the provision of appropriate
stream buffers, will minimize damage to public and private property,
promote a functional storm drainage system, reduce local flooding and
drainage problems, and maintain, to the extent practicable, the pre -
developed stormwater runoff characteristics of the developed site.
Applicability.
(1) Coverage. This section (Stormwater Management Control Requirements)
applies to the following type of developments.
a. All sites containing new development and/or redevelopment
including grading, paving, gravel placement, and construction of
buildings and other structures within the corporate limits and the
extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Greensboro.
b. The construction and installation of new public improvements by
local government agencies shall comply with the provisions of this
article to the extent practicable.
Participation in a regional stormwater management facility.
(1) Where permitted. Where a regional stormwater management facility has
been established by one (1) or more local govemments, or by an
authority operating on behalf of one (1) or more local governments, a
development may participate in said program in lieu of any certification of
runoff control required by this article, provided that:
a. Runoff from the development drains to an approved existing or
proposed public regional stormwater management facility that will
be operational within two (2) years;
b. Participation is in the form of contribution of funds, contribution of
land, contribution of stormwater management facility construction
work, or a combination of these, the total value of which shall be in
accordance with fee schedule adopted by the City Council; and
C. The technical review committee finds that the stormwater
management plan is in compliance with all other applicable
requirements of this article.
(2) Use of contributions. Each contribution from a development participating
in a regional stormwater management facility shall be used for
acquisition, design, construction or maintenance of one (1) or more such
facilities in the same watershed in which the development is located.

(1) Plan required. A stormwater management plan and separate

maintenance plan in accordance with the requirements of this article shall
be submitted to the enforcement officer and shall include all applicable
information listed in the Stormwater Management Manual and the Storm
Sewer Design Manual. The stormwater management plan may be
combined with any required watershed development plan.
(2) Plan approval. The technical review committee is authorized to approve
the stormwater management plan, which is in conformance with the
requirements of this article. Approval of the stormwater management plan
must be as follows:
a. Site plans: The stormwater management plan and separate
maintenance plan must have approval prior to or concurrent with
site plan approval.
b. Preliminary subdivision plats: The stormwater management plan
must have approval prior to or concurrent with preliminary
subdivision plat approval except that when a stormwater
management improvement is proposed, the construction plan
details including proposed grading, dimensions, calculations, etc.
for the proposed improvement and the separate maintenance plan
may be approved following preliminary subdivision plat approval.
The construction plan details and separate maintenance plan
must be approved prior to issuance of any permits as specified in
section 27-22(d)(3).
(3) Approved plan a prerequisite. The enforcement officer is not authorized to
issue any permits, except as provided in section 30-3-4.2 (Permits Issued
Prior to Site Plan or Preliminary Plat Approval) of the Greensboro
Development Ordinance, for development on any land unless and until a
stormwater management plan, that is in compliance with the requirements
of this section, has been approved.
(4) Plan certification requirement for structural stormwater management
improvements. Where a structural stormwater management improvement
is required for a development to meet the requirements of this article, a
North Carolina licensed professional engineer shall sign and seal a
certification on the plan that the plan meets all stormwater management
requirements of this section.
(e) Stormwater management improvements.
(1) Construction of improvements.
a. The construction of all structural stormwater management
improvements, shown on an approved stormwater management
plan shall be substantially completed prior to final plat recordation
or issuance of any building certificate of compliance. Upon

(2) Recordation of permanent improvements. All permanent stormwater
management improvements and associated access/maintenance
easement(s) shall be recorded on a final plat, and if required by section
27-22(e)(3), a mechanism to ensure their maintenance shall be
established concurrent with or prior to plat recordation.
(3) Maintenance responsibility.
a. When a stormwater management improvement serves more than
one (1) parcel, an owners' association or binding contract for the
purpose of maintenance is required. See section 30-6-10.1,
Establishment of Owners' Association, of the Greensboro
Development Ordinance.
The owner or owners' association shall be responsible for
maintaining the completed stormwater management improvement
as directed by the governmental office having jurisdiction for
stormwater management or by the approved maintenance plan. If

an owners' association is responsible for the maintenance of the
stormwater management improvements such responsibility must
be stated in the association declaration. An underground
oversized storm sewer system which is approved through TRC for
acceptance and maintenance by the city, carries public waters
and is located either in the dedicated street right-of-way or
drainage maintenance and utility easement is exempt from this
requirement.
C. The enforcement officer has the authority to inspect stormwater
management improvements and to notify the responsible property
owner or owners' association when maintenance or repairs are
required. All required repairs and maintenance shall be performed
within ninety (90) days after such notice. In case of failure by the
responsible party to perform the required maintenance or repairs
within the stated period, the city may perform such maintenance
or repairs and recover all costs attendant thereto from the property
owner or owners' association.
(f} Stream protection requirements.
(1) Stream channelization/piping.
a. Perennial streams, as defined by the Stormwater Management
Manual, within a designated water supply watershed may not be
channelized or piped, except for channelization permitted
pursuant to section 30-7-1.8(C), Stream Channelization.
b. Perennial streams that are outside of a designated water supply
watershed and other streams that are not classified as perennial
may be channelized or piped, but only after obtaining all
applicable federal and state permits and certifications.
(2) Stormwater management stream buffers. On any streams where section
30-7-1.8, Stream Buffer Required, requires a stream buffer, this section
will require the same buffer. On all other streams, or section of streams,
to which this section applies, stream buffers with minimum widths as
specified below shall be maintained along all open (1) perennial streams,
as defined by the Stormwater Management Manual, and (2) drainage
channels draining an area equal to or larger than fifty (50) acres.
a. The buffer shall consist of two (2) strips of land totaling a minimum
total width of fifty (50) feet on each side of the water body:
The first strip of land has a minimum width of ifteen (15)
feet measured horizontally from and perpendicular to the
top of stream bank, or the top of slopes steeper than
fifteen (15) percent, or the edge of contiguous sensitive
areas (i.e. wetlands). This first strip of land and the area
between this first strip of land and the first strip of land on
the other side of the water body is to be maintained free
from development including disturbance of the soil, grading
or filling, erection of structures, fences or placement of
built -upon surfaces except those associated with street

and driveway crossings, utility crossings, and installation of
stormwater management facilities where no practicable
alternative exists.
The second strip of land has a minimum width of thirty-five (35) feet
measured horizontally from and perpendicular to the landward edge of
the first strip of land. This second strip of land is to be maintained free
from occupied structures and shall maintain a built -upon area below fifty
(50) percent with the exception of public or private street crossings.
(g) Stormwater management requirements.
(1) Stormwater management requirements for all new development and
redevelopment shall consist of, as a minimum, runoff control measures
necessary to control runoff to a level which will not cause increased off -
site quantity problems as specified in (2) and (3) below.
(2) Quantity control requirements.
a. The engineer shall provide a certification that said development or
redevelopment would not cause increased offsite flooding,
drainage, or erosion problems. Deterrnination of impacts shall be
based on hydrologic and hydraulic engineering studies extending
downstream to a point where the proposed site development or
redevelopment represents less than ten (10) percent of the total
drainage area or watershed. The studies shall be based on an
analysis of both two- and ten-year storm events. (see Stormwater
Management Manual).
b. Where it is determined that the development of the said site does
contribute to flooding, drainage or soil erosion problems at any
location between the proposed development site and the ten (10)
percent downstream point then stormwater quantity control
improvements must be implemented. The stormwater quantity
control improvements must limit the two-year and ten-year post -
development peak discharge rates to pre -development peak
discharge rates, to minimize increased flooding, drainage, and
erosion problems. These improvements may consist of
nonstructural approaches such as natural swales, depressions in
the land and other natural approaches, or structural approaches
such as detention structures (wet and dry basins), extended
detention facilities and alternative best management practices with
provisions for stormwater quantity control. A combination of
nonstructural and structural approaches is encouraged.
C. For stormwater management improvements that are proposed to
be implemented to meet the quantity control requirements of this
section, a hydrologic -hydraulic analysis of the site drainage
system in the pre -development condition and the post -
development condition shall be performed. The analysis should be
included with the stormwater management plan and should
demonstrate that the quantity control requirements stated in
section 27-22(h)(2) will be achieved by the proposed
improvements. These improvements shall be subject to review

and approval by the enforcement officer.
(3) Developments that meet the requirement for being identified as an
integrated multiple use developments, planned unit developments,
phased developments or group developments can meet the requirements
of section 27-22(g) at the point the discharge leaves the overall property.
(h) Master plan requirements. It is the intent of the City of Greensboro to produce
stormwater quantity and quality management master plans to guide the design
and development of the drainage system for all of the major sub -watersheds and
watersheds in the city. Where such master plans are available and approved by
the city council, site development projects are to conform to the stormwater
management guidance and standards available in said master plans.
(i) Additional requirements. If site characteristics indicate that complying with the
minimum stormwater management requirements of this section will not provide
adequate designs or protection for local residents, and downstream property, it
shall be the site designer's responsibility to exceed the minimum requirements as
necessary.
Q) Exempt activities. The following activities are exempt from the requirements of
section 27-22(g). However, any restrictions upon building location, drainageways,
pavement, or other built -upon area, or any other matter appearing on any
previously approved development plan covering the subject property, shall be
complied with unless and until replaced by an approved revised plan.
(1) Individual single-family housing on an individual lot.
(2) Replacement of existing built -upon area with like or lesser amount of new
built -upon at the same location, or at a different location on the same
zone lot if the enforcement officer has determined that equal or improved
stormwater management will result.
(3) Placement of small accessory buildings or structures or small amounts of
additional built -upon area provided that the total additional built -upon area
is no greater than four hundred (400) square feet.
