Subject: NPDES Phase 11 Stormwater Program
2000 U.S. Census - Notification of Coverage
Jonathon Barlow:
In 1990 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Phase 1 stormwater program was promulgated under the
Clean Water Act_ Phase I relies on National Pollutant discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit coverage to
address stormwater runoff from: (1) "medium" and "large" municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) generally
serving populations of 100,000 or greater, (2) construction activity disturbing 5 acres of land or greater, and (3) ten
categories of industrial activity. The NPDES Stormwater Phase I1 Final Rule was promulgated in December 1999 and is
the next step-in EPA's effort to preserve, protect, and improve the Nation's water resources from polluted stormwater
runoff. The Phase II program expands the Phase I program by requiring additional operators of MS4s in urbanized areas
and operators of small construction sites, through the use of NPDES permits, to implement programs and practices to
control stormwater runoff. Phase II is intended to further reduce adverse impacts to water quality and aquatic habitat by
instituting the use of controls on the unregulated sources of storm water discharges that have the greatest likelihood of
causing continued environmental degradation.
The NPDES Stormwater Phase I1 Final Rule requires nationwide coverage of all operators of small MS4s that are
located within the boundaries of a Bureau of the Census defined "urbanized area" based on the latest decennial Census.
The Bureau of Census has recently released data detailing the 2000 Census urbanized areas and using GIS data files
produced by the Bureau of Census, North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources staff has
compiled a list of municipalities and counties that we believe fall in whole or in part within one or more of the seventeen
census -designated urbanized areas in North Carolina.
We are writing to you to notify you that the'Town of Nashville has been identified as being located within a census
designated urbanized area. As it regulated community, you are required to develop a stormwater management program
and apply for stormwater permit coverage, if you own and operate a small MS4 or file a certification that the 'Town of
Nashville does not own or operate a small MS4. The deadline for submitting your application package or non -ownership
certification is 18 months from the date of this letter. Application and certification documents, as well as additional
information on the NPDES stormwater program, are available for download at our web site . Our web address is
http:llh2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/stormwater.htm1. If you have any questions about this letter, please feel free to contact me
(919-733-5083, ext.525) or Darren England (919-733-5083, ext. 545)
