PART I PERMIT COVERAGE
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 H 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.
S. 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

Part I Page 1 of 2

PERMTT 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.
8. 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-stonnwater flows that do not significantly impact
water quality and may include:
• water line flushing;
