Dear Jeanette Powell:
The Town of Nashville respectfully requests an extension for the Stormwater
Management Plan submittal until March 31, 2019. The town has recently had
several positions change, including Town Manager, Finance Director, and
Planning Director. During this time of positional vacancies, the Town was
unable to meet specific deadlines for compliance with the Municipal Separate
Storm Sewer System (MS4) program.
It is the Town's understanding that a written stormwater management plan
must be developed by the end of this extension, and that the online Stormwater
Program Assessment (SWMPA) will be completed by October 31, 2018, serving
as the annual report.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Sincerely,
Julie Spriggs

Section V: Retrofit Opportunity

Section I: Public Outreach & Education
The Town of Nashville met with Northern Nash Environmental Club about adopting Stoney
Creek Environmental Park as a community project. Discussions took place about the importance
of green space and partnered with "Keep America Beautiful" to complete a beautification
project. The club returned in September to complete a water sweep of Stoney Creek adjacent to
the park. They removed several piles of debris from the waterway.
The Town of Nashville held an environmental camp for youth in the community June 26-28 and
was attended by 6. The youth learned about water quality, stormwater, plant/animal species, and
encouraged responsible environmental stewardship. The stormwater information shared was
basic education of stormwater principles, causes of nonpoint source point pollutants, water
chemistry tests, macro invertebrate assessment, and how to be a good steward of our local water
bodies. This camp was successful and we will continue to offer as an annual camp.
The Town of Nashville also partnered with Nashville Elementary to help reduce erosion issues
on their property. The school is experiencing erosion around walkways, and stairs as a result of
the excessive use of round -up by lawn maintenance crews. We stressed the importance of
discouraging the use of this product and suggested several different vegetative coverings that are
low maintenance that would eliminate erosion in these areas. The school was very grateful for
this meeting and is moving forward with the implementation of these best practice suggestions.
It was observed that Nashville Elementary has a perfect location for a rain garden. NC State
Extension Service, Town of Nashville, and Nashville Elementary have discussed the possibility
of installing a rain garden to reduce erosion and educate the whole student body on good
stormwater practice. This will be addressed later in Section V: Retrofit Opportunity.
In.conjunction with these partnerships the Town of Nashville utilizes our website and brochures
to distribute stormwater information to the public.

The Town of Nashville requires the annual O&M is the responsibility of the property owner. This
documentation is properly recorded. The Public Works Department maintains annual inspections to
ensure these structures are properly working.

Section IV: Jurisdiction Wide Information Collection
The Town of Nashville is approximately 3 square miles with a population of 5,432 according to recent
information from the State Demographer's Office. Nashville is largely considered a bedroom community
and is the county seat. The Public Works Department are the eyes in the field and observe for illicit
discharges. These findings would be reported to the Planning Department for further action and ultimate
compliance. There have been no findings of illicit discharges at this time. Please review attached maps.
Section V: Retrofit Opportunity
Nashville Elementary is a willing participant for a retrofit opportunity and was briefly discussed
in Section 1: Public Outreach & Education. Nashville Elementary, Town of Nashville, and NC
State Extension Service would partner to construct a rain garden within a 2,.700 square foot
greenspace that currently accepts storm drainage from a 47,000 square foot area. This area
consists of approximately 11,000 square feet of impervious surface made up of building footprint
and walkways_ The retraining 36,000 square feet is considered greenspace.
This site is ideal because it does not consist of environmentally sensitive areas, would serve as
constant public outreach with approximately 800 students in attendance annually, and would be
maintained by a responsible owner. This project is slated for construction in early summer of
2018. A map is attached for your review of the potential project.

10. Public Education
What pollutant source are you trying to address and why? List the targeted
pollutants and give a brief explanation as to why these are selected.:
Trash - the intension is that this program will let the public know that trash
thrown onto the streets may be washed into streams/creeks
Disposal of household chemicals - some people think that it is ok to dump these
items into the storm drain because they don't know that it is harmful
or they erroneously believe that storm drain water is treated
Write a narrative description of the approach you are going to take in your
outreach program.
We will obtain information and provide it to the public by the use of local
cable tv, library handouts, and newspaper ads. We will install storm drain
tiles.
Decision Process: describe the decision process used to create this program
element.
We met with a stormwater expert with AMEC for initial ideas; then met with key
Town employees to develop proposed strategies that seemed to be the most
effective based on the character and resources of our community.
11. Public Involvement Program
Are you going to comply with the public hearing requirement to meet this minimum
control measure? Yes
Describe how you involved the public in developing your application: a public
hearing was held

12. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Storm Sewer System Map
Storm sewer system map: Describe how you are going to complete a storm sewer
system map of outfall locations. (What sources of information will you use?
What form will the map take (digital, paper map)? What method will you use to
verify the accuracy of the locations? will you do field verification and if so,
will you use any specific technology? How will you update the map, once data
collection begins? Who will keep the map current? Where will the map be
located within the organization for the public to view or review if desired?
We plan on hiring a consultant to assist with preparing and keeping up-to-date a
storm drainage system map of outfall locations. A handheld or more accurate GPS
will be used. We plan on having a digital copy of the map. We will require
coordinates to be submitted for new piped additions to the storm drainage
system. A copy of the map will be located in the Planning Department for
viewing by the public.
Regulatory Mechanism
Do you have an ordinance in place that prohibits non-stormwater from your
drainage system? NO
Describe your process for developing a regulatory mechanism and when you plan on
doing so:
During the first year of the permit period the Town will develop an ordinance
defining stormwater and non-stormwater discharges, prohibiting illicit
discharges, providing right of entry for Town employees to inspect private
property, and establishing a process of notifications and fines for willful
violations.
Enforcement Actions
❑escribe the methodology you will use to take enforcement actions needed when
you find an illicit connection. Include process you will follow if different
from the method of adopting or amending your current ordinance.
violators will be notified and given an opportunity to correct problem. If they
fail to take proper action, the Town will correct the violation and bill the
property owner for the cost.
Detection and Elimination
Describe the plan you are going to follow to find and eliminate illicit
connections. Address spills and illegal dumping controls as well. Include
procedures for locating high priority areas in the community; procedures for
tracing the source of an illicit connection; procedures for removing the
discharge and procedures for program evaluation and assessment.
Beginning at outfalls we will conduct dry weather (72 hrs) inspections noting
any flow. Any unusual appearance, color, or odor will be noted. The discharge
will be followed to its source (including entry to private property, if
necessary). The property owner will be notified of the requirement to eliminate
any discharges or connections detected. Fines or penalties will be imposed for
willful violations. If the connection/discharge is not eliminated by the
property owner in a reasonable period of time (to be defined by ordinance) then
the Town will correct the violation and bill the owner.
A system of fines/penalties will be established for spills/dumping.
In addressing illicit discharges/connections priority will be given to any known
problems; older areas of Town will also be a priority.
How will you find illicit connections?

How will you address spills, within your own operation and within the community?
Our Fire Dept is a first responder to spills; the County Fire Marshall reports
spills to the NC Div of Emergency Management; for major spills a Regional
Hazardous Materials Response Team is requested
How will you eliminate an illicit connection or discharge? We will develop an
ordinance to address this question

If yes, describe them and how you will address them in your program.
Public outreach
How will you inform the public and your employees about the hazards of illicit
connections and illegal dumping? This activity should be coordinated with your
Public Education Program and your Good Housing Keeping Program.
Information about illicit discharges/connections will be made available to the
public through cable tv, library handouts, or a newspaper ad, and employees by
materials distributed through our Human Resources/Safety Department.
Program Approach
Describe how you developed your program approach to illicit discharge
elimination. How did you choose your SMPs and your measurable goals?
We chose the goals and methods that seemed to us to be the most effective based
on the character of our community.

Measurable Goals
Explain how you will evaluate the success of your program. What are the
measurable goals for each BMP?
A Review Committee will be established (made up of representatives of the Town
Departments involved in the program, as well as anyone else who may be
interested) that will evaluate the successes of the program and any changes that
could be made. This committee will meet at least once a year.
The measureable goals are listed in the sections on each individual BMP.
13. Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Controls
Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Controls
Are you going to use the State Sediment and Erosion Control program to comply
with this minimum control measure? Yes
If yes, who is responsible for the program in your community? Kimberly
Summers, NC DENR (Land Quality Section)
14. Post Construction Site Management
Post Construction Management for New and Re -development activities
Do you currently have development standards that address stormwater management
on new or redevelopment projects that disturb more than one acre of property?
YES
Are your standards in an ordinance or other regulatory format that requires plan
reviews, long-term maintenance and use of $MPs for water quality controls?
No
of all your current practices and strategies, list the ones that will be used as
on -going BMPs under this permit.
Do you have requirements for structural BMPs to control stormwater on site for
new or redevelopment activities to control water quality? NO
If no standards and controls exist to control water quality, describe the
process you will use to select the on -site controls and standards. Based
on the requirements the currently exist in our water supply watershed ordinance
and the NC design standards for structural BMPs that meet NPDES reguuiements we
will develop standards for structural BMPs.
Do you have a regulatory mechanism to address post -construction controls for
water quality? NO
Describe how you will develop a mechanism, what you are considering and when you
will develop it. We will develop a stormwater management ordinance, which
will include provisions for post construction management. The Town Manager and
staff will consider other municipal ordinances, any NC model ordinance, and
other resources to develop an ordinance that is compatible with our community.
If yes you have standards to control water quality, is long-term maintenance
required and how is it regulated? If no, describe how you will incorporate
maintenance requirements. If no long-term maintenance strategy is included in

your program, describe the process you will use to establish a long-term
maintenance strategy and the schedule you will follow. Our ordinance
will require maintenance that meets the minimum NC design manual standards.
Annual inspections and repairs will be required.
Describe the process you followed in determining your plan of action for this
minimum control measure. An ordinance was the only option that we
were aware of that would meet the post construction requirements of the NPDES
program.
What are your priority areas? Areas of new development, which are
primarily around the perimeter of the town. In addition, we would like to give
attention to the portion of our jurisdiction that is within the water supply
watershed.
What conditions exist in your community that are unique or require tailored
BMPs? None.
Describe your measurable goals and evaluation process. we will
review site plans for compliance with our stormwater ordinance and report on the
number of plans reviewed.
Require an annual inspection and report on each structural BMP to verify that
required maintenance has been performed. Record and report the number of BMPs
inspected and repaired.

Drainage system maintenance: describe your procedures for controlling floatable
and other pollutants from the drainage system. If you do not have a plan, how
will you address this in your permit?

Drainage grates are cleaned as needed to remove floatables and other debris. A
street sweeper cleans the streets in Town once a week when the weather is dry,
which nicks un floatables and sediments from the streets.
Describe your procedures for maintenance of the drainage system including
inspection of the system. If you do not have a plan, how will you address this
in your permit?
After every major rain event the storm drainage system is cleaned as needed;
eight critical "choke points" are inspected. All ditches and catch basins are
inspected at least twice a year (usually once in winter and once in summer) and
corrective action taken. Problems found on State property are forwarded to the
appropriate agency.
Describe controls for reducing pollutants from parking lots, storage yards,
waste transfer stations, outdoor storage areas at vehicle maintenance shops,
salt storage and snow disposal areas. If you do not have a plan, how will you
address this in your permit?
Salt is stored inside a building in bags. Vehicle maintenance is done inside a
building. All storage, except for gravel and sand, is stored inside a building.
Vehicles (except for a dump truck and pickup trucks) are stored under a shelter.
Describe your procedures for the proper disposal of waste removed from your
drainage system? If you do not have a plan, how will you address this in your
permit?
Trash is taken to the Transfer Station in Rocky Mount, which is delivered to a
sanitary landfill. organic debris is taken to the Town's mulch facility.
What are your procedures to incorporate water quality controls within flood
management projects? If you do not currently consider this in your program of
flood management, how will you address this in your permit?
We Encourage clustering of development in the floodplain away from areas prone
to more frequent flooding. Buffers are required along perennial and
intermittent streams shown on the USGS quadrangle or soil survey map.
Describe how you developed your pollution prevention plan for this permit. What
important factors did you consider?
Met with a stormwater expert with AMEC for initial ideas; then met with key Town
employees who are aware of current operations and how we might improve our
procedures to better protect stormwater in our jurisdiction. We considered what
would have the greatest impact and would be feasible to implement without
overburdening our limited staff and resources.
What are your measurable goals and how will you evaluate them?
We will provide training to all employees who manage and apply chemicals. At
least half of these employees will receive training each year. We will report
on the number of employees trained and the subjects covered.
We will evaluate our existing used oil recycling program and make any needed
changes. We will report the amount of oil recycled and any needed program
adjustments. We will evaluate our garbage collection practices to determine any
changes that could be made to reduce the potential for pollution of stormwater.
Findings will be reported.

NPDES RPE Stormwater Permit Application
1. STORM SYSTEM INFORMATION
1.1 Population Served
The Town of Nashville is a full service municipality located in eastern North Carolina. The most
recent population estimates provided the State Demographer provides 4841 as of August 28,
2009. The Town anticipates this number is slightly low as residential growth has been steady
until the recent downturn of the economy.
1,2 Growth Rate
With the most recent population estimate of 4841 and the 2000 census population being reported
as 4417, we believe the growth rate to be approximately 9 percent over the last nine years. This
is the most recent information the Town has on hand.
1.3 Jurisdictional and MS4 Service Area
The Town of Nashville has approximately 2.75 square miles of service area. This has increased
from 2.655 when the permit was initially submitted. This is mostly either residential or what is
currently open space.
1.4 MS4 Conveyance System
The Town of Nashville Stormwater System is largely piped in the core sections of Town and in
the newer northern subdivisions. In the southernmost sections of Town storm water is largely
transported by open ditch. The primary reason for this is the water supply watershed located in
the southernmost sections of Town.
1.5 Land Use Composite Estimate
It is estimated that the Town of Nashville is made up of forty percent residential use, twenty
percent commercial use, ten percent industrial use, and 30 percent open space. This is a staff
estimate.

3. EXISTING WATER QUALITY PROGRAMS
3.1 Local Programs
The Town of Nashville participates in a water supply watershed district in the southern portions
of Town and Extraterritorial Jurisdiction. This program is primarily geared towards protecting
water quality in the Tar River Reservoir. Certain density requirements under this program are
relaxed by ordinance for developing in a manner consistent with preserving water quality. We
also require developments to submit and provide a State approved sediment and erosion control
plan. The Town of Nashville Land Use Plan also recognizes sensitive areas and addresses them
appropriately.

3.2 State Programs
As mentioned above the State approves our Sediment and Erosion Control Plans for
development within this jurisdiction. The Town of Nashville and its planning jurisdiction do fall
within the Tar -Pamlico River Basin, so those buffer rules do apply.

7. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
7.1 Public Education and Outreach on Storm Water Impacts
The Town of Nashville primarily distributes public education documentation thorough our website. The
Town's target pollutant sources are primarily residential customers, and the dumping or runoff
associated with either lawn care practices. With that being said our target audience is both residents of
our jurisdiction, and also developers in the same. We intend to reach citizens throughout our jurisdiction
through our website, and the public information found therein. We have a section of our website
dedicated to storm water education it can be found at http://www.townofnashville.com/stormwater. We
inform all developers interested in working in Nashville of our requirements.
7.2 Public Involvement and Participation
We intend to continue using our website as the primary source of public education. Currently we
participate bi-yearly in the Big Sweep Program including posted advertisement of such. We intend to
develop a paddle trail along Stony Creek, once that is developed and access to the creek becomes more
feasible, the Town intends to have bi-yearly creek cleanup days.
The Town currently is in the planning phases of a Community Redevelopment Program; this program
addresses many needs of a low to moderate -income community in Nashville. As part of this program we
will include storm water awareness training in our public participation process, along with an input and
answer section of the presentation. The Town also intends to reactivate our Storm Drain Stencil
Program. This was an active program in years past- The stencil serves to inform citizens that the drains'
in Nashville ultimately end up in the Tar River.
7.3 Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
Two years ago the Town of Nashville undertook a G1S storm sewer -mapping project. The data was
collected using GPS technology to locate all storm sewer manholes and grates along with any ditch
sections. A more comprehensive map of the system is in the process of being completed. The
measurable goal would be to have a complete map detailing all features of the Towns Storm System.
This map will be updated as needed.

SWU-264-103102

NPDES RPE Stormwater Permit Application
The Town of Nashville currently has several policies and ordinances that somewhat address discharge
and debris in our storm sewer system. Our Stormwater SOP currently addresses Illicit Discharge. The
Town intends to amend our ordinances to acutely address illicit discharge and detection.
While the Town has for many years been concerned with Inflow and Infiltration of our sewer system, we
have also monitored infiltration of our storm sewer system. In the older sections of Town we most
recently solicited and received a grant to video our sewer lines to check for sewer discharge. With that
being said the Town does annual inspections to ensure the integrity of our sanitary sewer. In addition to
those measures the Town has been very proactive to eliminate sewer overflows. A large part of that is
the daily maintenance done by the utilities department. We have also limited our risk by
decommissioning and dismantling lift stations that are old or no longer necessary. The Town also
monitors two rain gauges.
As public information and education is important the Town maintains a section of our website dedicated
to stormwater awareness. As mentioned above we intend to undertake a large-scale Community
Development initiative in the largest low to moderate -income community in Nashville. Drainage issues
have for years plagued this community. The initiative will focus on drainage, housing rehab, sewer and
street rehab. A large part of this relies on community involvement. The Town in coordination with civic
groups in this area have partnered to host many community meetings. These meetings are largely
focused on public education. One of the topics covered will be illicit discharge_ As far as town
employees are concerned the Stormwater SOP states that all employees of the streets department will
receive training annually in detection of elicit discharge. The Public Works, Public Utilities, and
Planning Departments will evaluate each incident annually and recommend preventative measures.
7.4 Construction Site Stormwater Runoff' Control
The Town relies on the State Erosion and Sediment Control Program. We require an approved plan on
all sites disturbing more than one acre. As far as site plant approval the Town has a very intensive
process of review that begins with the Technical Review Committee's meeting to review plans. The
Technical Review Committee is made up of the Planning Director, Public Utilities Director, Public
Works Director, Police Chief, Fire Chief, and the NCDOT District Engineer. Others may be included as
needed based upon circumstance deemed appropriate. A thorough review is completed to ensure
compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations. Site inspections are done on_a daily basis by the
Public Works or Utilities department. Being a small town site inspection priority is not an issue at this
point, we simply do not have enough construction taking place.
The Town plans to make changes to our operations as it pertains to this section. Construction Waste is
now treated as any other accumulation of debris. We intend to address this specifically by ordinance, to
include construction site -specific procedures as they pertain to where and how debris must be handled.
Our website includes specific information on how to submit concerns or complaints regarding
stormwater. We evaluate concerns on a case by case basis, and track them through a log system bases on
what department is responsible for addressing said complaint. Our Stormwater SOP addresses how and
when inspections of sites are done. One interesting point to include is that during any rain event Town
staff including the Public Works, Public utilities, and Planning Director are out visually inspecting our
stormwater facilities and how they are operating. This not only helps to identify current issues but assist
in identifying areas that need preventative maintenance. .

7.5 Post -Construction Storm Water Management in New Development and Redevelopment
The Town will develop a post construction stormwater program for all sites over one acre. Currently
the town has an internal policy that all maintenance of stormater BMP's are the responsibility of the
developer, or owner of the facility. This will be added to the new section of the ordinance as it
pertains to post construction stormwater.
Currently the Town has several mechanisms that effect or encourage BMP's. The Town does have
the existing Water Supply Watershed area in the southern sections of Town. In the watershed area
developers are allowed to develop without curb and gutter. Not only is this encouraged but
developers receive bonus density for not developing with curb and gutter in these areas. The Town
also has a Planned Use Development Ordinance. This allows for smaller lots in exchange for open
space. Town staff encourages development of this sort, ensuring that every developer interested in
projects in these areas is aware of the benefits to them by developing in an environmentally friendly
manner.
The Town currently and most recently developed and implemented an ordinance pertaining to the
preservation and protection of trees. This ordinance primarily will effect new developments and
mandates that all trees not limiting the development of the property must be left standing. Presently
the first subdivision in Town since this ordinance was adopted is being developed. We anticipate that
this ordinance will work well, but are amenable to amendment should it not match the councils goals
of preservation. Also the Town recently adopted an ordinance pertaining to street trees. For
development and redevelopment. It requires they be planted at certain intervals, but allows the use of
existing trees if acceptable.
The sections of the ordinance that the Town intends to develop will primarily revolve around
structural BMP's including but not limited to dry detention ponds. We intend to develop this
ordinance in the coming year.
While the Town of Nashville may be small in size we are very active in improving our surroundings.
We are constantly improving our sidewalks and walking facilities to encourage more pedestrian
travel. We do this both through grant funding and through Town Funds. We are in the process of
developing a new park facility that will not only protect a section Stony Creek, but provide perpetual
open space and greenway. We actively seek donation of flood prone and environmentally sensitive
areas, and have been successful in obtaining three such parcels totaling over fifteen aces in the past
year. We have also been involved in active conversations with the Tar River transit Authority to
place three regular bus stops in Nashville and believe that will become a reality in the next year.
Needless to say the Town Council is committed to protecting our environment.
7.6 Pollution Prevention / Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
The Town of Nashville staff is sensitive to and makes strides to set the example for environmental
consciousness in our community. The Central Maintenance Division services and repairs
approximately 35 town vehicles- The Town owns and operates two garbage trucks, we routinely
check dams, and gaskets to ensure effluents remain contained. We employ one mechanic who is
accountable for all vehicle maintenance except for the largest vehicles. The Town actively recycles
oil and other operating fluids from these vehicles. We also accept oil from Town citizens. In the
coming year we hope to institute a more active oil recycling program primarily through public
education. The Town does have a maintenance and inspection area within the shop that provides
containment of spilled fluids.

As another good housekeeping item the Town owns and operates a street sweeping truck. This is
operated on a daily basis to ensure that the streets and gutters are clean and free of debris. Storm
drains are cleaned on a bi-monthly basis, and otherwise as needed. Town crews are instructed to
clean any drain they notice debris in when they are on their daily routes. Ditch maintenance is also
an integral part of operations not only do Town crews routinely mow both roadside and off road
ditches, buy remove debris and trash when noticed.
As you can see not only is are the elected officials in Nashville committed to protecting our waters
but also the staff.
