Additional Information Request
Dcar Mr. NichofE
After a review oFyour permit application materials, I found that with changes or clarifications to
Stormwater Management Plan identified herein, there is sufficient content to continue with the review and
drafting of your permit.
1. The City of HendersonviIle's stormwater management program must establish and
publicize a reporting mechanism for the public to report illicit discharges.
2. If The City of Hendersonville ownes and operates any industrial activities with a Phase I
NPDES stormwater permit, the stormwater management program must include a process
to conduct annual review of the permitted activities.
Enclosed for your review and comment is a preliminary draft Phase II NPDES Stormwater Permit

Administrative Code. This program includes procedures for public input, sanctions to ensure
compliance, requirements for construction site operators to implement appropriate erosion and
sediment control practices, review of site plans which incorporates consideration of potential
water quality impacts, and procedures for site inspection and enforcement of control measures.
NCDENR Division of Water Quality NPDES general permit for construction activities
(NCG010000), specifically PaKI, Section A, Paragraphs 3, 4, 5, and 6, effectively meets the
above requirements. The NCG010000 permit establishes requirements for construction site
operators to control waste such as discarded building materials, concrete truck washout,
chemicals, litter, and sanitary waste at the construction site that may cause adverse impacts to
water quality.
The permittee must provide and promote a means for the public to notify the appropriate

Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL}
A TMDL is a calculation of the maximum amount of a pollutant that a waterbody can
receive and still meet water quality standards, and an allocation of that amount to the
pollutant's sources. A TMDL is a detailed water quality assessment that provides the
scientific foundation for an implementation plan. The implementation plan outlines the
steps necessary to reduce pollutant loads in a certain body of water to restore and
maintain water quality standards in all seasons. The Clean Water Act, Section 303,
establishes the water quality standards and TMDL programs.
Toxic Pollutant
Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act.

Additional information Request
Dear Mr. Nichoff:
After a review of your permit application materials, I found that with changes or clarifications
to Stormwater Management Plan identified herein, there is sufficient content to continue with the
review and drafting of your permit.
1. The City of Hendcrsonville's stormwater management program must establish and
publicize a reporting mechanism for the public to report illicit discharges.
2, if The City of Hendersonville ownes and operates any industrial activities with a
Phase i NPDES stormwater permit, the stormwater management program must
include a process to conduct annual review of the permitted activities.
Enclosed for your review and comment is a preliminary draft Phase II NPDES Stormwater
Permit for the City of Hendersonville. We believe that this draft permit will provide your community
with the flexibility vital for your community, while at the same time safeguarding and protecting our
natural environment for future generations of North Carolinians.
Please provide the additional information requested and your comments on the preliminaty
draft permit by Friday, September 2, 2005. We would like to incorporate as many revisions as
possible before the public notice. You will also have an opportunity to submit comments during the
public comment period. If you have any questions, concerns, or suggested revisions about the
preliminary draft permit don't hesitate to contact me at [phone], ext. 545.

Subject: NPDES Phase II Stormwater Program
2000 U.S. Census - Notification of Coverage
Christopher A. Carter:
In 1990 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Phase I stormwater program was promulgated under the
Clean Water Act. Phase I relies on National Pollutant discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit coverage to
address Stormwater runoff from: (1) "medium" and "large" municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) generally
serving populations of 100,000 or greater, (2) construction activity disturbing 5 acres of land or greater, and (3) ten
categories of industrial activity. The NPDES Stormwater Phase 1I 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 11 program expands the Phase I program by requiring additional operators of MS4s in urbanized areas
and operators of small construction sites, through the use of NPDES permits, to implement programs and practices to
control stormwater runoff. Phase II is intended to further reduce adverse impacts to water quality and aquatic habitat by
instituting the use of controls on the unregulated sources of storm water discharges that have the greatest likelihood of
causing continued environmental degradation.
The NPDES Stormwater Phase II Final Rule requires nationwide coverage of all operators of small MS4s that are
located within the boundaries of a Bureau of the Census defined "urbanized area" based on the latest decennial Census.
The Bureau of Census has recently released data detailing the 2000 Census urbanized areas and using GIS data files
produced by the Bureau of Census, North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources staff has
compiled a list of municipalities and counties that we believe fall in whole or in part within one or more of the seventeen
census -designated urbanized areas in North Carolina.
We are writing to you to notify you that the City of Hendersonville has been identified as being located within a census
designated urbanized area. As a regulated community, you are required to develop a stormwater management program
and apply for stormwater permit coverage, if you own and operate a small MS4 or file a certification that the City of
Hendersonville does not own or operate a small MS4. The deadline for submitting your application package or
non -ownership certification is I8 months from the date of this letter. Application and certification documents, as well as
additional information on the NPDES stormwater program, are available for download at our web site. Our web address
is http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/stormwater.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)

1.3 Jurisdictional and MS4 Service Areas
Jurisdictional Area Total: 15 square miles
MS4 Service Area: 15 square miles
1.4 MS4 Conveyance System
The City of Hendersonville's storm water system is a combination of curb and gutter
systems, various sizes and types of pipes and open drainage ways or ditches on local,
State and private roads. The City maintains City roads and curb and gutter systems within
the City Limits. Some of these tie in to drainage systems on State roads, but most of the
City storm water system drains into receiving streams.
The State DOT maintains systems along the State Roads such as US 25, US 64, NC 191
and NC 176 as well as a number of other streets and roads within the City. Reference is
made to the current Powell Bill map for their names and locations.
There are private drives and small roadways that are both paved and unpaved and that
connect to City and State roads and are maintained by owners. Most of these utilize open
ditches for stormwater control.
City maintenance includes leaf and garbage pickup, yard waste and brush removal, street
sweeping, and storm -drain clearing. Public Works staff will respond to complaints on storm
drains and clean out pipes and drains as needed with shovels, rakes, or other machinery.
Hendersonville's Public Works Department currently maintains 40 full time employees.

7. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
The City must develop, implement, and enforce a Stormwater management program (SWMP)
designed to reduce the discharge of pollutants from its small MS4 to the maximum extent
practicable (MEP), to protect water quality, and to satisfy the appropriate water quality
requirements of the Clean Water Act. The SWMP must be developed and fully implemented
within five years from the effective date of the issued NPDES Stormwater permit. As part of the
five-year implementation process, the City must have Post -Construction Run-off regulations in
place by May 06, 2009 (Minimum measure #5).
7.1 PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREACH ON STORM WATER IMPACTS
Minimum Measure (i): A public education and outreach program on the impacts of Stormwater
discharges on water bodies to inform citizens of how to reduce pollutants in Stormwater run-
off. The public body may satisfy this requirement by developing a local education and
outreach program; by participating in a statewide education and outreach program coordinated
by the department; or a combination of those approaches.
To meet this requirement the City will implement a public education program to distribute
educational materials to the community and conduct outreach activities to educate the public
on the impacts of Stormwater discharges on water bodies. Educational efforts will include
steps the public can take to reduce pollutants in storm water run-off. To accomplish this, the
City will:
Goals:
1. Explore the feasibility of regional approaches to the development and distribution of public
educational materials and/or utilizing any statewide education or outreach programs, and
develop a public materials distribution plan within two years. Have informational materials
available in City Hall and on-line and through other mechanisms identified in the planning
process during years 2-5.
2. Work with local resources including Land -of -Sky Regional Council, the Greater Hendersonville
Chamber of Commerce, RiverLink and NCSU (the French Broad River Watershed Education
Training Center Cooperative Extension) and other local agencies and organizations to develop
local training and materials for the public, landscapers, developers, and schools. This could
include topics such as Phase 11 Requirements, Parks and Recreation Maintenance, Low -
Impact Design, Watershed Planning and Protection, or Habitat and Stream Restoration.
Conduct or support and advertise at least one such training per year.
3. Place educational stencils on existing City street storm drains alerting people that the storm
drains are not for waste disposal, for at least 90% of storm drains within the 5 year
implementation period.
7.1.1 BMP Summary Table attached at the end of this chapter.
12

7.1.2 Target Audiences that will have storm water impacts:
• The general public, particularly schools and homeowners associations;
• Landscapers, graders, and developers.
• City staff
7.1.3 Target Pollutant Sources our Education Program will address and Why:
• Sedimentation and Erosion — The City will investigate the need for streambank
stabilization and will include educational signage about Mud Creek, sedimentation and
erosion control, and the importance of protecting our streams. The City will ensure that
City property is not adversely contributing to sedimentation levels in local creeks and
streams.
• Automotive pollutants from parking lots -- Educational Materials will include information
about the pollutants from parking lots and how to implement run-off controls in parking
lot designs.
• Household and yard waste — The City will try to ensure that residents do not dump
hazardous materials, cleaners, automobile oil or antifreeze, etc. into the storm drains.
• Fertilizers and pesticides — Property and business owners will be provided information
on the proper storage and use of pesticides and fertilizers. City Parks and
Maintenance staff have received NC Department of Agriculture training on pesticide
use and storage and they along with the appropriate Public Works staff will continue to
be kept up to date though training and educational materials on the use of fertilizers
and pesticides.
• Fecal Bacteria -- Residents will be provided with information on the proper disposal of
pet waste, kitty litter, etc. as part of regular solid waste informational materials
distributed by the City and included in signage within City parks.
7.1.4 Outreach Program
• The City will work with a local committee and the Land -of -Sky Regional Council's
Regional work group to develop outreach strategies and "BMPs" within the first two
years of the implementation period.
7.1.5 Decision Process
• The four identified goals were chosen because of their ability to reach out to the
targeted audiences in cost-effective ways:
1. Explore the feasibility of regional approaches to the development and
distribution of public educational materials during first two years and then
disseminate information as developed.
2. Work with local resources to develop local training and materials for the public,
landscapers, developers, and schools.
3. Establish demonstration sites for streambank stabilization, educational signage,
and BMPs.
13

4. Place educational stencils on existing City street storm drains alerting people
that the storm drains are not for waste disposal.
Objectives, details, and individual strategies for implementing each of these goals will
be documented as the local planning process moves forward to develop a program.
7.1.6 Evaluation
Evaluation approaches will be determined for each of the goals under this Measure as the
strategies and approaches are better defined and as/if there are changes with the Final
Rules.
14

7.2 PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT AND PARTICIPATION
Minimum measure (ii): A public involvement and participation program consistent with all
applicable state and local requirements.
To meet this requirement the City of Hendersonville will:
Goals-
1 . Continue to seek input and provide updates on Phase II requirements and implementation
to City Council and the City Planning Board as part of regularly scheduled public meetings.
2. Utilize a local committee and the Planning Board to develop strategies and finalize an
implementation plan.
3. Explore feasibility of working with other local agencies or adjoining communities to develop
public input and informational workshops or other processes.
4. Explore feasibility of initiating a local "Adopt -a -Stream", "Adopt -a -Creek", or even "Adapt -a -
Drain" program in coordination with Riverl-ink, Henderson County Environmental
Conservation Organization, Scout Troops, or other local resources.
5. Promote Annual "Big Sweep" Event each September to clean up the local streams.
7.2.1 BMP Summary Table Attached
7.2.2 Target Audience
Same as 7.1.2
7.2.3 Participation Program

representatives to discuss the application process and ways to involve the public.
7.2.4 Decision Process.
Local business owners and concerned citizens will be invited to participate in the public
involvement participation program.
7.2.5 Evaluation
Evaluation approaches will be determined for each of the goals under this Measure as the
strategies and approaches are better defined and as/if there are changes with the Final
Rules.
15

7.3 ILLICIT DISCHARGE DETECTION AND ELIMINATION
Minimum Measure (iii): A Program to detect and eliminate illicit discharges within the MS4.
The Program shall include a storm sewer system mapping component that at a minimum
identifies Stormwater outfalls and the names and location of all waters within the jurisdiction of
the public body.
To meet this requirement the City of Hendersonville will develop, implement and enforce a
program to detect and eliminate illicit discharges into the MS4, by:
Goals:
1. Utilizing GPS and GIS to develop a map of the MS4 system and its outfalls relative to
available USGS information and to update and maintain that map into the future;
2. Adopt a local ordinance with regulatory fines to prohibit illicit discharges into the system or
the receiving streams. This ordinance will be developed and adopted concurrently with the
post -construction run-off regulations within one year after issuance of the permit.
3. Prevent hazardous materials from reaching area streams through timely and effective
emergency management in hazardous spill situations.
4. Maintain roads and storm sewer infrastructure in coordination with NCDOT, Division 14.
5. Regular inspections of existing septic systems and wells by the Henderson County
Environmental Health Department.
7.3.1 BMP Summary Table Attached
7.3.2 Storm Sewer System Map
An updated map of Hendersonville's Storm Sewer System will have to be developed by
local staff and/or the use of consultants.
7.3.3-7.3.4 Regulatory Mechanisms and Enforcement
The City will review any state model ordinances and regulatory guidelines if available and
develop and adopt regulations prohibiting illicit discharges into the Storm Sewer System
and receiving streams with regulatory fines, as well as develop and implement post -
construction run-off guidelines. The goal will be to adopt these ordinances within one year
after issuance of the permit.
7.3.5 Detection and Elimination
The City will develop a plan to detect and address illicit discharges to the system through
BMPs such as dry weather field screening, field tests of selected chemical parameters, and
inspection of on -site sewage disposal systems. To accomplish this, the City will coordinate

Minimum Measure (vi): A pollution prevention/good housekeeping program for municipal
operations that addresses operation and maintenance, including a training component, to prevent
or reduce pollutant runoff from those operations.
To meet this requirement the City will develop and implement an operation and maintenance
program that includes a training component and has the ultimate goal of preventing or reducing
pollutant runoff from municipal operations. To address these concerns, the City:
Goals:
1. Has/will work with the NC Division of Pollution Prevention and Waste Reduction Partners of
Land -of -Sky Regional Council to conduct a Good Housekeeping and Pollution Prevention
Assessment of all City facilities and will implement recommendations from that assessment.
2. Continue maintenance policies of good housekeeping and pollution prevention practices within
all City facilities.
3. Utilize available training materials from EPA, the State, or other organizations as part of
employee training.
7.6.1 BMP Summary Table Attached
7.6.2 Affected Operations:
The principle municipal operations of the City of Hendersonville that are relevant to this
permit program are those of vehicle washing, automotive maintenance, and materials
storage that all occur in the Public Works Motor Pool Facility, and of Park maintenance
which occurs on City Park properties.
7.6.3 Training:
The City will continue to seek training for maintenance and public works personnel in
pollution prevention and good housekeeping measures.
7.6.4 Maintenance and Inspections:
Public Works staff is on Park property every day of the week to maintain grounds and
facilities. All garbage cans, picnic tables, dugouts, stands, and other park facilities are
anchored.
The City Public Works Motor Pool staff is in the Motor Pool daily and follows a routine
maintenance schedule. Public works staff also respond as needed to complaints or
maintenance needs.
7.6.5 Vehicular Operations:
The City of Hendersonville fleet includes 140 insured vehicles, including passenger cars
and various types of trucks.
23

Light vehicle maintenance (oil changes, tire rotation, etc.) and some significant
maintenance for City vehicles are done at the Motor Pool. Used oil is collected for
recycling and stored in a covered and anchored tank with a concrete spill basin. Basin is
checked regularly and after rains for any evidence of seepage or leaks. Other significant
automotive repair for City vehicles is done utilizing local private mechanic services.
There is a single uncovered wash bay for City vehicles located behind the motor pool. An
oil water separator will be installed in the near future.
The City utilizes a commercial refueling facility for the City fleet.
Sand storage is under shelter at the Motor Pool. Other materials are also stored within the
Motor Pool building and hazardous materials are stored on spill —pallets to contain any
materials that seep, leak, or spill out of their containers or barrels/drums.
Parking lot run-off from City Hall and the fire Department drains into existing storm drains
or drainage ditches installed by NCDOT along King Street and US25 North. Drainage
from the City Operations Center parking lot flows into a tributary of Mud Creek.
7.6.6 Waste Disposal:
The City does not own or operate a waste transfer station. City garbage trucks collect
garbage weekly and deliver it to the Henderson County landfill. The City contracts with
Curbside, Inc. to collect recyciables.
