Subject: Evaluation of the Town of Zebulon's Stormwater Management Program,
Stormwater Permit No. NCS000557
Dear Mr. Ray:
The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR), Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) conducted an audit of the Town's Stormwater Management Program on February
26, 2013. DWQ was represented by.Bill Diuguid and Mike Randall, from the DWQ Stormwater
Permitting Unit.
The compliance evaluation is conducted to evaluate the Town's compliance with the
requirements of Section 402(p) of the Clean Water Act (CWA), 33 U.S.C. § 1342(p), the regulations
promulgated there under at 40 Code of Federal Regulations Part 122.26, and the North Carolina National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit No. NCS000557.
The staff was very helpful during the audit and should be commended on the initiatives they've
taken to managing stormwater under the conditions of the Town's permit.
The staff provided a description of the storm sewer system, identified the receiving streams, and
whether or not the receiving streams are impaired and any associated water quality issues. The staff also
provided a description of the Town's Public Education and Outreach Program, Public Involvement and
Participation Program, Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination'Program, Sediment and Erosion
Control Program, Post -Construction Program, and Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping
program.
The Town's Public Education and Outreach Program is based on community wide issues. Staff
provided a description of the target audiences and target pollutants as well as the likely sources of those
pollutants and their impacts. The Town maintains an internet web site designed to convey the program's
message, distributes stormwater educational material to appropriate target groups, and promotes and
maintains a stormwater hotlinelhelpline.

The Public Involvement and Participation Program includes volunteer opportunities and other
mechanisms designed to promote ongoing public involvement.
The Town maintains a current inventory of facilities and operations owned and operated by the
Town (with the potential for generating polluted stormwater runoff). The Town also maintains and
implements a SWPPP for their public works program. The SWPPP includes a site description and site
plan that show drainage areas, stormwater and sanitary piping, manholes, cleanouts, drains, inlets,
outfalls, oil water'separators, and stormwater control devices. The SWPPP identifies industrial activities
and facilities, storage practices, best management practices, secondary containment requirements,
structural BMPs, erosion and sediment controls, procedures for spill response, loading and unloading,
vehicle and equipment maintenance, waste handling and disposal, and employee training requirements.
Positive Findings
Wake County currently administers and enforces the Town's Erosion and Sedimentation- Control
and Stormwater Ordinances. As part of the NPDES Phase 11 Stormwater Permit requirements, Wake
County will be responsible for enforcement of the Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination program,
the Construction Site Runoff Control Program, and the Post -construction control Program for new
development and redevelopment.
Also, the Town does participate in the Clean Water Education Partnership (CWEP).
From what we were able to observe the streets, parking lots, and stormwater system were in
excellent condition — free of trash and debris, floatables, pollutants, oil and grease.
Finally, the SWPPP provides excellent procedures for activities such as spill response, loading
and unloading, vehicle and equipment maintenance, waste handling, and disposal.
Recommendations
Recommendations represent practices that should be considered to improve the overall
effectiveness to improve stormwater management.
Please note the State has provided a sample turnover folder for municipal operations that can be
down loaded at: http://portal.nedenr.org/web/wq/ws/su/npdessw . The documents include:
• The State Compliance Check List

compliance could not be determined at the time of the audit.
Notice of Non -Compliance
A Notice of Non -Compliance is any finding that could result in a Notice of Violation, a fine or
other enforcement action if corrective action is not taken. The State did not identify any findings that
could result in a Notice of Violation, a fine or other enforcement action if corrective action is not taken.

would result in a Notice of Violation, a fine or other enforcement action.

Subject: NPDES Phase 11 Stormwater Program
State Designation Process
Town of Zebulon, Wake County
Pursuant to Session Law 2006-246, Section 5, the Environmental Management Commission
(EMC) at its regularly scheduled meeting on January 14, 2010, considered the designation of the
Tbwn of Zebulon as a regulated public entity that owns or operates a municipal separate storm
sewer system (MS4) subject to the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES).
Following proper deliberation in accordance with the procedures delineated in Session Law 2006-
246, Section 5, the EMC determined that the Town of Zebulon shall be designated as a regulated
public entity that owns or operates a MS4 subject to the NPDES requirements.
Under the provisions of Session Law 2006-246, Section 5, Designation of Regulated Entities,
the Town of Zebulon was identified as a candidate for potential designation because the town is
located near impaired waters. In October 2009, the Town of Zebulon was notified that it had been
identified for consideration under the state designation procedures. Public notice of potential
designation was given, and comments on potential designation were accepted through November
30, 2009.
After review of the public comment, the EMC determined that the Town of Zebulon met the
required criteria for formal designation under Section 5(1)(d)(4) of the Session Law because the
town's 10-year growth rate met designation criteria. The town's MS4 also discharges stormwater
that adversely impacts water quality in Little Creek.
