PART I PERMIT COVERAGE
1. During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until
expiration, the Town of Harrisburg is authorized to discharge stormwater from the
municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) to receiving waters, Rocky River, Mallard
Creek, Coddle Creek, Back Creek, and Fuda Creek, within the Yadkin -Pee Dee River
Basin. Such discharge will be controlled, limited and monitored in accordance with the
permittee's Comprehensive Stormwater Management Program Report, herein referred to
as the Stormwater Plan. The Stormwater Plan includes components of the permittee's
Phase II Municipal NPDES Stormwater Permit Application, NPDES Stormwater Permit
Application Comprehensive Stormwater Management Program Report and any approved
modifications.
2. All discharges authorized herein shall be adequately managed in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this permit. Any other point source discharge to surface waters
of the state is prohibited unless it is an allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered
by another permit, authorization, or approval.
3. This permit does not relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any
other applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or
decree.
4. This permit covers activities associated with the discharge of stormwater from the MS4
within the jurisdictional area of the permittee as described in the approved local
Stormwater Plan to control potential pollution from the MS4. The permit applies to
current and future jurisdictional areas of the permittee, as well as areas that seek coverage
under this permit through inter -local or other similar agreements with permittee.
Agreements for coverage under this permit must be approved by the Division of Water
Quality, herein referred to as the Division.
5. The Division may deny or revoke coverage under this permit for separate entities and
require independent permit coverage as deemed necessary. In addition, the permittee may
petition the Division to revoke or deny coverage under this permit for specific entities.
6. Under the authority of Section 402(p) of the Clean Water Act and implementing
regulations 40 CFR Part 122, 123 and 124, North Carolina General Statutes 143-215.1
and Session Law 2004-163 and in accordance with the approved Stormwater Plan, all
provisions contained and referenced in the Stormwater Plan are enforceable parts of this
permit. The permittee will develop and implement its approved Stormwater Plan in
accordance with Section 402(p)(3)(B) of the Clean Water Act, provisions outlined by the
Director, and the provisions of this permit.
7. The permit requires the development and proper implementation of the Stormwater

Part I Page 1 of 2

PERMIT NO. NCS000513 '
quality, and to satisfy the applicable water quality requirements of the Clean Water Act.
Implementation of best management practices consistent with the provisions of the
Stormwater Management Plan constitutes compliance with the standard of reducing
pollutants to the maximum extent practicable. Successive iterations of the Stormwater
Management Plan and other components of this permit will be driven by the objective of
assuring that discharges do not cause or contribute to the violation of water quality
standards, through the expansion and tailoring of management measures within the scope
of the Stormwater Management Plan.
S. The permit authorizes the point source discharge of stormwater runoff from the MS4. In
addition, discharges of non-stormwater are also authorized through the MS4 of the
permittee if such discharges are:
(a) Permitted by, and in compliance with, another NPDES discharge permit including
discharges of process and non -process wastewater, and stormwater associated
with industrial activity; or
(b) Determined to be incidental non-stormwater flows that do not significantly impact
water quality and may include:
• water line flushing;
• landscape irrigation;
• diverted stream flows;
• rising groundwaters;
• uncontaminated groundwater infiltration;
• uncontaminated pumped groundwater;
• discharges from potable water sources;
• foundation drains;
• air conditioning condensate (commercial/residential);
• irrigation waters (does not include reclaimed water as described in 15A
NCAC 2H .0200);
• springs;

1.0 STORM SEWER SYSTEM INI+ORMATION
1.1 Population Served
In 2000, the United States Census reported a permanent population oT4,49 3 in the
Town of' Harrishrn•� (Town), North Carolina. ']'lie Town does not experience
significant seasonal changes in population.
1.2 Growth Rate
The "Down is experiencing significant growth in population and area. The annual
growth rate for the period from the 1990 to the 2000 Census was 17.6 percent.
However, the recent growth has likely diminished to less than 10 percent. Recent
growth has been natural. Annexations dating back to 2000 resrtlted in
approximately 70 additional residents. "["he TOWWS population in 1990 was
1,625.
1.3 Jurisdictional and MS4 Service Area
The 'Town has experienced significant growth in its service area. The current
jurisdictional and MS4 service area for the Town is 6.84 square miles. The "Town
has 3.03 square miles oI'extra territorial jurisdiction (LT.1). Figure I-1 on pale 3
depicts the limits ol' the Town's municipal service area and extra territorial
jurisdictional area.
1.4 MS4 Conveyance System
"1'he Town has not performed an inventory or evaluation of its MS4. The system,
typical of most cities. includes swales, culverts. pipes, outfails, and curb and
gutter sections. The "Down has conducted drainage studies in the past foe
problematic areas. Maintenance and catch basin clearing and cleaning is
peITOrmed Xvhen a resulting drainage problem is notilied to the Town staff.

1.6 Estimate Methodology
The Lund Use Composition for the Town was estimated using Geographic
Information System (G1S) software and land use data from the County's Planning
Department. ']'lie land use data is not current but is future planning land use data
similar to current conditions. The land use data was reclassified from 12 detailed
groups into siX general groupings. "totals of' each group were calculated and
divided by the total.jurisdictional area to obtain percentages.
1.7 Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Identification
Two streams with TMIN, designations are present that either border or pass
through the Town's jurisdiction. Coddle Creek and Rocky River are impaired for
not supporting their aquatic life use. Coddle Creek I13-17-6-(5.5)1 is impaired
due to stressed biological integrity; however, the sources have not been identified
at this time. Rocky River (13-17a) is impaired due to stressed biological integrity
and standard violations for fecal coliform and turbidity. The sources are
identified as urban runoff and additional unknowns. TMDLs have not been
developed for either stream at this time. This data is current for the Draft 2004
303(d) list. figure i-1 depicts the impaired reaches of'Coddle Creek and Rocky
River and their proximity to the Town's jurisdictional area.

3.1 Local Programs
Stormwater control regulations are summarized in the E�nvlronmental Controls
Regulations section of the Unificd Development Ordinance (UDO). Existing
stormwatcr control regulations have focused on detention control. The policy
states that all proposed site plans, except single- and two-family dwellings and
residential subdivisions that will exceed 20,000 square feet (SF) of impervious
coverage are required to mitigate the impacts of the design storm rainfall. The
post development runoff rate for the 2- and 10-year design storm conditions must
be detained to pre -development levels, unless a maximum discharge rate was
adopted For the applicable drainage basin. Currently. there are no measures for
treating the runoff fol' pollutants.
The County is a State -delegated aLlthol'lty to administer the Local Lrosion and
Sediment Control Program. The Department of Commerce, ill Conjunction With
the County, administers the program for qualifying new development within the
County and Town. All facets ol'the program review. inspection, and education arc;

7.1.2 Target Audience
The target audience l-or the Town's public education and outreach prOgranl
is a diverse group of citizens who share the range ol' impact on
stormwater. Public education materials and activities will be directed
towards industry and conwicrcial business owners. The purpose in
reaching this sector will be to reaffirm their knowledge in proper waste
disposal compliance and facility/site management and operation. This is a
group where substantial awareness can lead to major improvements in the
environment. '['he development conlnnlnity will also be a key target
audience. The Town is encountering aggressive development from all
directions. making educating this audience on better site design and post
construction control beneficial to setting new standards and models for the
IUlure. Another target audience MCIUdes homeowners, small business
operators, and the general public. Education efforts at this level will foCus
on awareness of stormwater nlanagenlent, proper disposal of cornillon
pollutants, and good housekeeping and pollution prevention on one's
property. This sector must realize that their contributions may be rnininlal
but that their collective, Voluntary efforts produce maXinuun results.
IduCatioll efforts must also be focused towards youth to develop more
environmentally aware and compliant citizens f]'orn the start.
7.1.3 Target Pollutant Sources
Several pollutant sources have been identified for the concentration of
education efforts. These pollutant sources are categorized as household
wastes (oil, detergents, paints, and solvents), commercial waste, land
application pollutants (Fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides), and

organic/land derived pollutants (leaves, grass, sediment, and fecal
coliform). "These sources have been identified for their frequent use or
appearance in the lives of the identified target audience. These sources are
also highly controllable with the education of' citizens on proper waste
disposal procedures, knowledge on the use and function of a storm sewer
system, and the recommendation of non -threatening products and
procedures like biodegradable products or composting. Additionally,
sediment will be a primary pollutant of concern as the Town is in close
proximity to it 303(d) listed stream impaired by turbidity. A better
emphasis on educating developers on proper erosion and soil control
measures will be instrumental in managing further degradation oh the area
streams.
7.1.4 Outreach Program
The community will be informed about stormwater pollution in a variety
of, ways. The outreach program will use utility bill inserts, cluat•tcrly
newsletters, and new resident inlorniation packages to educate
homeowners about pollution prevention, proper household waste disposal,
and program administrative issues. Informational workshops will be
developed and hosted by the Town for local developers and engineers to
assist them in understanding the program requirements and use of better
site design methods. The Town will attempt to collaborate xvith other area
Phase 11 permittees to develop a curriculum unit on general environmental
awareness for promotion to the County's youth. '['he Town's website will
be enhanced to contain information on stormwater and I3MPs for the
generaf public. The "town will identify an opportunity to promote the
stormwater program and its related issues through public appearances at
well attended community events.
7.1.5 Decision Process
The decision process for the Town's public education and outreach
program focuses on lour important objectives; diversity of audience.
variety of program BMPs, timing of implementation, and strengthening of
existing programs. All participants will develop a sense of inclusion and
concern for the program when provided with an activity or educational

opportunity. This concentrated effort creates an opportunity fi)r better
compliance and holistic support for the TowWs program.
7.1.6 Evaluation
The public education and outreach program will have attainable and
measurable goals. BMPs that inefude circulation of' items similar to
utility hi[I inserts quarterly newsletters, and distribution packages can be
calculated. Goals Will be set to meet a distribution percentage. The
workshops for the development community and students have measurable
goals computed in number of events held or individuals participating. The
stormwater section of the Town's websitc will frequently provide a variety
of' printable BMP guidance documents to the community available Im-
download. A counter will be placed oil the stormwater webpage to track
its volume oi' hits. Periodic surveying ol' the citizens may help the
stormwater staff identify the most effective outreach mechanisms and their
concentrations. This will allow the stormwater staff to streamline this
aspect of the Phase II regulations and locate areas ol'. the `town where
more attention can be focused.

The second facet of this approach on public involvement and participation
will be; tailored to creating opportunities for the public to execute their
stormwater program. A voluntary activity. such as stream CICall-lip of
storm drain stenciling project, provides the public an opportunity to take
ownership in the restoration and protection of the region's waterways.
These activities provide the prospect for Town staff to meet and educate

citizens, support agencies, and other Phase 11 colllnlunities. Given these
circumstances, the Town will attempt to use existing boarcis or
coninlittees. where possible, to address stormwater concerns in a public
manner. A singularly -focused, advisory committee will be comprised of'
Town representatives if needed. Public comment and review procedures
will ensure vvllere slgniflcant stormwater policy is being. drafted.
The Town envisions a successiul stormwater program as one that provides
benefactors the opportunity to contribute and participate in a program of
their design. Crafting the perspective of a program developed by its
service constituents will encourage more participation than one handed
down and mandated by local government. While there are certain
mandatory measures to be achieved in the Phase II permit, there is much
latitude in how to reach these goals. It is the public's responsibility to
shape their program to their conlnlunity's needs. The stormwater program
will also create a variety of hands-on activities for all citizens to learn and
contribute in improving stormwater in their community.
7.2.5 Evaluation
"These activities will be evaluated on their completion and attendance. As
mentioned before, an advisory forum will be used to help develop policies
and stormwater services. At first, this forum May meet on a frequent basis
during the developmental stage. Once the program is established and

7.3.1 BMP Summary Table
Cable 7-3 on page 20 lists the BMP Summary ']'able for this stormwater
program measure.
7.3.2 Storm Suiver Systcm Map
At a minimum, the TOW11 will identify the outfalls of the MS4 graphically
where they meet receiving waters. This effort may be per-ibrmed for a sole
purpose or may be included as part of a larger assessment of stormwater
infrastructure and natural resOUrces (i.e., receiving waters). United States
Geological Survey (USGS) and Natural Resource Conservation Service
(NRCS) data will be used to identify the receiving waters. To keep the
sN'stc:m current, several options may be explored. One option may include
the requirement for all new development and redevelopment that results in
a new or modified MS4, submit as -built construction drawings or a
computer based survey. Another option may lead to contracting a survey
service to periodical[y update new or modified systems.
7.3.3 Regulatory Mechanism
The ['own will develop an illicit discharge prohibition as part of a stand-
alone ordinance or part of a greater stormwatcr control ordinance:. The
prohibition will further define and prohibit illicit connections and non-
stormwater discharges from being released into the Town's MS4 of -
receiving waters. Additional measures will be included to allow for
inspection, monitoring, elimination. and emergency remediation of these
discharges, if necessary. The anticipated schedule for this prohibition will
likely parallel the schedule for drafting of a stormwater control
mechanism, which has a designated guideline of completion two years
from permit issuance. The illicit discharge prohibition will be posted fur
public review and comment.

7.3.4 Enforcement
The enforcement plan will likely include a two -stage process. The first
phase is a public education period for the community regarding the illicit
discharge program, its inherent regulations. and the impacts of' its
disregard and violation. After the adoption of the prohibition, the staff
will begin frill enforcement of its ordinance, serving notices, warnings,
and civil penalties as outlined in the prohibition. This time will occur
bcfore the end of the live )'car permit period. This process is appropriate
in providing ample time for citizen awareness of' a program that can carry
Se601IS lmpllCatlOnS. Citizens may provide enforcement through a hotline
for reporting illegal discharging or accidental spilling.
7.3.5 Detection and Elimination
The Town will attempt to locate facilities, homes, or properties that are
unlakVfully discharging into the Town's MS4. The illicit discharge
prohibition will grant the Town the right to enter a private property and
litrther investigate, monitor. test. or sample discharges from the property.
in order to confirm a violation. In the event that illegal discharge is
detected, the owner will be notified of the detected illegal discharge with
remedial action to be taken and a tine frame to complete.
The Town considers the Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
Program (IDDF,') to be a significant control in further degradation of
receiving waters. This program will likely be first tested as a pilot project
in a representative area of watershed oNlic "town. The pilot project will be
evaluated to determine the required level of effort for fuurther detection and
elimination. An approach of this nature will likely take nany years to
implement and become back -loaded xvith intensive effort in years three
through five. However, the Town feels that developing a foundation and
understanding through piloting will ensure an effective and efficient IDDF-
program. Expected results from the pilot project will include types and

7.3.6 Non-Storrnivater Discharges
The illicit discharge prohibition will list several non-stormwater
discharges that, when properly managed, will ensure no potential
p011utantS are present, and can be discharged into the MS4 and waters of'
the Town. They include potable water line flushing, LlnColltatnlnated
pumped groundwater and other discharges from potable water sources,
landscape irrigation and lawn watering, diverted stream flows, rising
groundwater, groundwater infiltration to the storm drain system.

7.3.7 Other Incidental Stormwater Discharges
The 'town is not prepared to make an assessment of -discharges that may
be allowed in the Town's MS4 and characterized as incidental stormwater.
The illicit discharge prohibition will include these incidental stormwater
discharges and will be reviewed by the public and the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) before adoption.
7.3.8 Outreach
Several public cdLlcation and good housekeeping elements will be
dedicated to educating citizens and employees about the environmental
impacts of illicit discharges. Utility bill Inserts, quarterly newsletters, and
new resident information packages will provide an effective and broad line
of co111l11LInication to citizens and business operators, encouraging them to
address illicit discharges before they become a liability.
7.3.9 Decision Process
The Town's main objectives of all IDD1 program are the OLltfall and
natural resource mapping components that prohibits discharge of
IVllutalltS, and it program to enforce the prohibitions. These three
components grant the Town an effective and legal means of' removing

illicit connections and preventing illegal discharges in light of' voluntary
public participation.
The Town is in a challenging position in administering this component as
it is a labor- and cost -intensive component. Therefore, the piloting
approach provides the opportunity to evaluate the needs ofthis component
for the rest of the Town's MS4_ as well as the future. Several 303(d) listed
streams are in proximity to the Town and will be considered in the scoping
of' firturc IDDL activities.
7.3.10 Evaluation
The Town considers the IDDL program to be a component on which
success can be calculated and promoted on behalf of the stormwater
program. The Town is exploring the collection of baseline data for
comparison with IDDL efforts in respective areas. Success will be
measured in numbers of illicit connections removed, increascd use of
hazardous waste facilities. and improvement on baseline numbers over the
permit period.

This Ordinance will likely include the illicit discharge prohibition. The
timeline for the adoption of the Ordinance will be by the end of year two
of -the permit period.
7.5.5 Operation and Maintenance
The Town will explore options in administering the 13MP inspection
program. It will likely require, as a condition of the stormwater permit.
that BMP owners perform prescribed maintenance to ensure the BMP is
Functioning properly throughout its permit use. Annual inspections by a
registered professional will also be a requirement. The "Town will collect
inspections and submit them to DWQ annually. Other details, such as
restrictive covenants. inspection and maintenance delinquency, and
financial liability of emergency remediation will be addressed in the
advisory forum and likely incorporated into the Ordinance.
7.5.6 Decision Process
Much of the decision -making on this program element was based on the
compromise of existing regulations and procedures in place in the Town
with the Nifilhllent of the NPD1 S Phase II regUiremcnts. The Town's
Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) had already addressed detention
of stormwater and stormwater permitting even on a more restrictive basis
than the State's Phase 11 rules. The Town will examine the stance of other
surroLlnding Phase I and 11 communities on issues such as buffer
requirements and stormwater quality control to evaluate their applicability
in the Torn. "There is benefit in building off these UDO measures, since
they are familiar regulations in the community today. This will allow for
the community to become aware of new stormwater regulations before

7.5.7 Evaluation
MCaslll'ablc goals for the post -construction runoff control program will be
the implementation of each BMP for its scheduled time. Several of' the
latter e1e111ents such as site plan review and structural BMP inspection are
highly dependent on the adoption of the Ordinance. If the Ordinance is
not adopted on schedule. these elements will likely be delayed as well.
The schedule is the standard for the success of the post-COIlSt action rurloff

7.6.7 Flood Management Projects
']'he County regulates floodplain management through provisions outlined
in the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance. The regulations require the
protection of established uses and prevent the construction oi' 11Cw uses
vulnerable to flood damage. The regulations also control any alterations to
the floodplains, including stream channels and natural protective barriers.
Most floodplain management projects will be subject to stormwater
permitting if' they disturb the volume of land or occur in the

7.6.9 Other hvaluations
There are no other aspects being evaluated at this time.
7.6.11) Decision Process
The first step of the municipal pollution prevention plan is to identify all
Town-owiled properties and areas where services are frequently
perlonned. An internal review of these facilities will take place with
emphasis on (lie evaluation of storage practices of potential pollutants and
disposal procedures. The plan will also identify operational procedures
that may be improved to decrease pollution contributions. This
inlormation will be culminated into a pollution prevention plan for the
respective facilities. These plans will be updated on a biennial basis or as
services are added or removed at that facility.
Another facet ol'the Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping will be
the regular training of.' Town staff on issues concerning pollution
prevention and operations management. The stormwater staff will
perform the training for this BMP. Attendee docUmelltatlOn will serve to
identify new individuals each ),ear. '[his service will be quite; beneficial as
many employees may be unaware of disposal facilities or recycling
centers.
7.6.11 Evaluation
The Town will perform a self evaluation to ensure it is doing its part to
reduce: stormwater pollution. Objective goals for this evaluation will
include obtaining high levels of. participation in employee trainin, and
general employee environmental awareness. However. the most
evaluative measure will be more aesthetic looking and managed facilities

Subject: NPDES Phase II Stormwater Program
2000 U.S. Census - Notification of Coverage
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 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 fI 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 It 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 Town of Harrisburg 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 Town of
Harrisburg 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://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/stormwater,html. If you have any questions about this letter, please feel free to contact me
