Subject: Request for Waiver
Dear Ms. Bundren;
Division of Water Quality
Pursuant to Session Law 2006-246, municipalities with a population of less than 1,000, are not
required to obtain a Phase 11 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for
stormwater management unless the municipality is shown to be contributing to an impairment of State
waters, as determined under the requirements of 33 U.S.C. § 1313(d). The State may waive the
requirements otherwise applicable to the municipality if the municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4)
serves a population of less than 1,000 within the urbanized area and they meet the following criteria:
Their system is not contributing substantially to the pollutant loadings of a physically
interconnected MS4 that is regulated by the NPDES storm water program; and
If they discharge any pollutant(s) that have been identified as a cause of impairment of any
water body to which they discharge, storm water controls are not needed based on wasteload
allocations that are part of an EPA approved or established "total maximum daily load"
(TMDL) that addresses the pollutant(s) of concern.
DWQ has reviewed the comments received, the requirements of state laws and administrative
rules, the rights of the municipalities, and our mandate to protect public health and environmental quality.
Based on that review, DWQ is granting the Village of Alamance (populations less than 1,000) a waiver
from the requirements otherwise applicable to municipalities that own or operate a municipal separate
storm sewer system (MS4) within an urbanized area.
Pursuant to Session Law 2006-246, the Village of Alamance may subsequently be required to seek
coverage under an NPDES permit if circumstances change.
Although requirements to seek an NPDES Permit to adtinister the six minimum measures in 40 CFR
122.34 has been waived for the Village of Alamance, beginning 1 July 2007, any new development that cumulatively
disturbs one acre or more of land located in the Village of Alamance, must comply with the standards set forth in
Section 9 of Session Law 2006-246. The Division of Water Quality will administer and enforce the standards for
development unless local government (municipality or county) requests delegation to administration and enforcement of
the standards set forth in Section 9 of Session Law 2006-246.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mr. Mike Randall, Wetlands and Stormwater Branch
Di sion ofW ater Quality
FROM: Shari L. Bryant, Piedmont Region Coordinator
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: 2 March 2006
SUBJECT. Request for Waiver to Phase 11 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) Permit for Stormwater Management for Villages of Alamance and
Tobaccoville; Towns of Walkertown, Bermuda Run, and Glen Alpine; and City of King.
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission have reviewed the subject
request and we are familiar with the habitat values of the area. Our comments are provided in accordance
with provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (as amended), Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48
Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d), and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.).
Municipalities with a population of less than 1,000 are not required to obtain a Phase 11 NPDES
permit for stormwater management unless the municipality is shown to be contributing to an impairment
of State waters. The Village of Alamance has a population of less than 1000 and has requested a waiver
under this provision. The State may waive the requirements otherwise applicable to the municipality if
the MS4 serves a population under 10,000 and they meet specific criteria. The Towns of Walkertown,
Bermuda Run, Glen Alpine; the City of King; and the Village of Tobaccoville have populations of less
than 10,000 and have requested a waiver.
The NCWRC is very concerned about direct and indirect impacts of widespread urban growth,
loss of headwater ecosystems, urban stormwater runoff and unmitigated stormwater issues, including
aggravated flooding, on the aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources in North Carolina. '1'he documented
decline in freshwater species is a direct response to declining quality of our streams and rivers. For
example, 21 % of freshwater fishes and 53% of freshwater mussel species in North Carolina are
designated endangered, threatened, or of special concern at the state level (LeGrand et al. 2001).
Federally endangered and threatened species are particularly affected by secondary and cumulative
impacts associated with urban development due to their sensitivity to slight habitat alterations.
The NCWRC will not oppose the issuance of a waiver for the Villages of Alamance and
Tobaccoville; "towns of Walkertown, Bermuda Run, and Glen Alpine, and the City of King since no
federally listed species are known to occur in these watersheds at this time. However, we feel these

Request for Waiver
waivers should be re-evaluated periodically. Should significant increases in population, degradation of
water quality or aquatic habitat be found then the local municipality should be required to obtain a Phase
fl NPDES stormwater management permit. Although these municipalities may not be required to obtain a
Phase 1I NPDES stormwater management permit, we encourage each municipality to work proactively to
prevent vatcr quality and aquatic habitat degradation that results from urban growth and development.
We offer the following measures to help reduce impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources.
More detailed information on each of these measures can be found in NCWRC's Cnudance Memorandum
to Address and A4&gaie ,Secondary and Cumulative Impacts to Aquatic and Terrestrial Wildlife
Resources and Water duality (August 2002) which is located on the web at:
http://�%•-,ylv.ncwildlife.ore/p_,07 WildlifeSneciesCon/pS76_im,pacts.pdf
1. We recommend the maintenance or establishment of a minimum 100-foot native forested buffer along
each side of perennial streams and 50-foot native forested buffer along each side of intermittent
streams and wetlands. Buffer width averaging may be appropriate due to existing contours and
elevations if averaging provides the same overall acreage.
2. Delineation of streams should be conducted for the municipal service area according to U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers (USACOE) or N.C. Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) methodology. This
information can be found at http://h2o_enr.state.nc_us/nckvctlands/stnnfrm.htni1. Stream delineation
should occur prior to site clearing activities including tree removal.
Sewer lines, water lines, and other utility infrastructure should be kept out of riparian buffer areas
(Knutson and Naef 1997; and references therein). Where practicable, utilities should follow the
contours along the edge of floodplains. All utility crossings should be kept to a minimum. The
directional bore (installation of utilities beneath the riverbed, avoiding impacts to the stream and
buffer) stream crossing method should be used for utility crossings wherever practicable, and the
open cut stream crossing method should only be used when water level is low and strum flow is
minimal. A minimum 50-100 foot setback on all streams, lakes, and wetlands should be maintained.
Pesticides should not be used for maintenance of rights -of -way within 100 feet of perennial streams
and 50 feet of intermittent streams, or within floodplains and wetlands associated with these streams.
4. Commercial or residential development within the 100-year FEMA floodplain and jurisdictional
water floodplains should be prohibited and entire floodplains should be protected as undisturbed
forested areas. A no net loss of floodplain capacity ordinance is recommended.
5. To adequately protect streams, it is suggested that impervious surface is limited to less than 10%.
Suggested examples to accomplish the <10% impervious goal are using conventional designs at a
level of <10% imperviousness or using conservation clusters with higher densities, with dedicated
open space and other stormwater control measure to mimic the hydrograph consistent with an
impervious coverage of less than 10%.
6. Use bridges for all permanent roadway crossings of streams and associated wetlands to eliminate the
need to fill and culvert, where practicable. If culverts must be used, the culvert should be designed to
allow passage of aquatic organisms. if multiple pipes or cells are used, at least one pipe or box
should be designed to remain dry during normal flows to allow for wildlife passage.
7. We recommend that municipalities incorporate the following elements into their erosion and sediment
control plans: minimize clearing and grading, protect waterways, phase construction for larger
construction sites (>25 acres), stabilize soils as rapidly as possible (<2 weeks), protect steep slopes,
establish appropriate perimeter controls, employ advanced settling devices, implement a certified
contractors program, and regularly inspect erosion control measures.

Dear Mr. Harmon;
Thank you for your response dated September 29, 2005, regarding property owned by
Alamance County.
Submission of Form SWU-266, Stormwater Non-ownership/Non-operation Certification
on January 12, 2004, constitutes notice that Alamance County, identified in Section I, does not
own or operate a small MS4 as defined in 40 CFR 122. By signing and submitting Form SWU-
266, the signing official is certifying that Alamance County does not currently own or operate a
municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) as defined in 40 CPR 122 and therefore is not
currently required to complete and submit a permit application for an MS4.
If you have any questions concerning the Stormwater Non-ownership/Non-operation
Certification or the Phase 1I MS4 requirements, please contact Mike Randall at telephone
number 919/733-5083 ext. 545.

Attached is the NPDES Phase II Program Revisions as discussed. These revisions were
completed per the letter received by Alamance County dated June 11, 2004. Per
discussions with Craig Harmon, Planning Director, Section 7.5 Post -Construction Site
Runoff Controls has not been revised until further guidance is received from the Division of
Water Quality explaining the jurisdiction of Alamance County to implement and enforce
these regulations on lands not owned or operated by the County. Currently, Alamance
County has not implemented zoning regulations within the County's jurisdictional limits, and
has watershed requirements only in limited areas. Alamance County also does not own or
operate a municipal wastewater treatment facility.
In response to Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping revisions regarding fleet
.maintenance, Alamance County does not perform any fleet maintenance on County
property. Fleet maintenance is performed by the City of Graham per a maintenance
agreement with the City.
Additional guidance is welcome to complete any further revisions to the NPDES Permit
Application submitted by Alamance County.

Additional Information Request
Dear Mr Harmon:
After a review of your permit application materials I found that with changes to Section 7,
there is sufficient content to continue with the review and drafting of your permit -
The objective of the Public Involvement and Participation Program is to reach out
Mid engage major economic and ethnic groups to provide opportunities for the public to
participate not only program development but implementation as well (e.g., organize and
implement a volunteer stormwater related program designed to promote ongoing citizen
participation).
The Pollution Prevention and Good Houskeeping measures must include an operation and
maintenance program to prevent or reduce stormwater pollution from all municipal operations.
In addition to "conducting inspections of all vegetative and structural 13MPs to ensure proper
maintenance and performance" please address the inspection and evaluation of all municipal
operations. Specifically inspect the potential sources of polluted runoff, the stormwater controls,
and conveyance systems.
The Pollution Prevention and Good Houskeeping measures must provide for training
municipal employees pollution prevention measures pertaining to municipal operations such as
parks, water treatment facilities, transfer stations and open space maintenance, fleet maintenance,
new construction or land disturbance, building oversight, planning, and storm sewer system
maintenance. The Stormwater Management Program submitted specifies the development and
implementation of "an employee training program for stormwater/pollution prevention that integrates with
New Employee Orientation and is also avcaXible to current staff." Please elaborate on how the program
that is made "available" to current staff will meet the requirement to provide for training municipal
employees.

Please include in Section 7.5 how the Post -Construction Site Runoff Controls
Program will address 1) community education (e.g., develop guidance material or training
class for local developers explaining the local post -construction approval process) and 2)
Ensure structural BN P design, construction, operation, and maintenance compliance
(e.g., Establish pre -construction review of plans inspection during construction, and post -
construction acceptance procedures, annual BMP inspection reports, and review annual
reports.).
Please provide the requested information by Friday, July 2, 2004. If you have any

Village of Alamance, Alamance County NC
Dear Mr. England:
�t
APR 2 3 2004

We have been advised that the Village of Alamance will be included in the A
Urbanized Area and will be required to comply with the new NPDES, Phase II
Stormwater requirements. We hereby request to be waived from this requirement
in accordance with 40 CFR 122.32 d.
We believe that we meet the criteria for this waiver for the following
reasons:
1. The population of the Village of Alamance is less than 1000 persons.
2. Our stormwater system does not "contribute substantially to the pol-
lutant loadings of a physically interconnected MS4 that is regulated by the NPDES
storm water program." Our system is not "physically interconnected" with any
other municipal storm water system. We have interconnects with storm water
structures owned by NCDOT in highway NC 62 South.
3. Our system and NCDOT's system in our area discharge to Little
Alamance Creek and we are located in the Cape Fear River Basin.
If additional information is needed in support of this request, please contact our
engineer, Haywood King at 336-538-0071 or Cynthia Farley, Village Clerk at
336-226-0033.
Sincerely,
Village of Alamance

Subject: NPDES Phase I1 Stormwater Program
2000 U.S. Census - Notification of Coverage
Naydine L. Sharpe:
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 lI 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 lI 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 11 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 Village of Alamance 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 Village of
Alamance 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.tis/su/stormwater.htm1. If you have any questions about this letter, please feel free to contact me

This segment of the Haw River is most
impacted by turbidity from non -point sources.
The entire watershed is also classified as
nutrient sensitive.
Haw Creek
Within this segment of Haw Creek, habitat
degradation' from non -point source pollution
is an issue of specific concern. Major non -point
source contributors in this watershed appear to
be agricultural and non -urban development.
Rock Creek
Non -point source pollution is also an issue of
concern in the Rock Creek watershed.

"Habitat degradation- notable reduction in habitat diversity of a negative change in
habitat. This term includes sedimentation, bank erosion, channelization, lack of riparian
vegetation, loss of pools or riffles, loss of woody habitat and streambed scour. Streams
that typically show signs of habitat degradation are in watersheds that have a large
amount of land -disturbing activities such as construction, mining, timber harvesting and

7. Stormwater Management Program Plan
40 7.1 Public Education and Outreach
7.1.1 BMP Summary Table
See Appendix D.
7.1.2 Target Audience
The landfills and Cedarock Park are public facilities that are opened for
specific hours each day for the general public, and are maintained by
County staff. The target audiences for the Public Education and Outreach
program will include the general public of Alamance County, as well as
the agricultural community within these drainage basins. Specific efforts
at the landfills and park to reach these audiences are described in
Appendix D.
7.1.3 Target Pollutant Sources
Non- point source pollutants, including sediment and organic and
inorganic nutrients, are the pollutants that will be addressed by the Public
Education and Outreach program. This program will work to educate the
public on what non -point source pollution is, what the common sources
are, and what efforts can be made to reduce them. Specific efforts will be
made to address organic and inorganic nutrient application at all sites by
the County staff. Since the drainage basins for all three sites contain
mostly agriculture and residential development, these audiences will be
• targeted for additional nutrient application education. The benefits of
prompt stabilization of any graded sites or open fields, and the problems
caused by sediment laden runoff, will also be addressed for both County
staff and the general public.
7.1.4 Outreach Program
As described in Appendix D, the Education and Outreach program will
include signs posted at the landfill and at Cedarock Park, pamphlets at
these and other sites, school and local cablevision programs, a
stormwater webpage, and stormwater displays at various sites. Programs
at the park such as the annual Envirothon and Farm to Table activities
that are conducted by the Alamance Soil and Water Conservation District
will now include stormwater stations that offer information and take home
materials about stormwater runoff and common pollutants. Cedarock Park
is also going to investigate the feasibility of a stormwater trail along
various streams in the park with postings describing problems caused by
stormwater runoff which include pollutants, streambank erosion, and
turbidity, and efforts being made to address these problems. Signs and
pamphlets posted throughout areas accessed by the general public at the
landfills will help to address common concerns at these sites. Every effort
will be made to reach the general public and the farm community of
Alamance County during the five year permit term.
Various groups and institutions within Alamance County, such as the
Cape Fear River Assembly, the Haw River Assembly, Alamance
Community College, and Elon University, currently conduct and
7

participate in stream monitoring and clean-up activities during the year.
Coordination with these groups will be attempted to further the Education
and Outreach program goals.
One specific goal of the Education and Outreach program is the creation
of a county -wide slogan that is placed on all stormwater outreach
materials. A contest for the slogan will be held that is open to the
community college, Elon University students, and all high school students
to help with this goal.
7.1.5 Decision Process
The Stormwater Management Panel (as documented in Item 7.2.3) met
and discussed this section of the program. The goals shown above and
listed in Appendix D are the result of this process. The Public Education
and Outreach program will be administered by the Planning Director, but
all members of the panel will be fundamental in the success and
implementation of the program.
7.1.6 Evaluation
An evaluation of the Public Education and Outreach program will be
conducted by the members of the Stormwater Management Panel.
Meetings will be held throughout the five year permit term to facilitate
these evaluations, and to implement any changes to the program.
0

7.2 Public Involvement and Participation
7.2.1 BMP Summary Table
See Appendix E.
7.2.2 Target Audience
The stakeholder group for Alamance County primarily consists of those
County staff who oversees the affected facilities, and local educators and
environmental groups. The general public was notified of the stakeholder
meetings. At this time, Alamance County is not applying for permit
coverage for the entire county, so local commercial and industrial
facilities, homeowners, and tradesmen are not directly affected.
7.2.3 Participation Program
A Stormwater Management Panel was formed with County staff and
citizen representatives. A membership list is included in Appendix J. The
Panel's meetings were open to the public with appropriate public notice
and were held during the evening and work hours. A review of the draft
Comprehensive Stormwater Management Program was performed by the
Panel, and discussions on the various sections and topics were held. The
Panel's comments were then incorporated into document. The
Stormwater Management Panel was also given the final document for
review before submittal to NCDENR- DWQ. They will continue to meet
after the issuance of the NPDES Phase II permit during the
implementation of the Comprehensive Stormwater Management
® Program, and will evaluate the effectiveness of all BMPs during the five
year permit period.
•
7.2.4 Decision Process
The Public Participation and Involvement program for the development of
the Comprehensive Stormwater Management Panel focused on a
Stormwater Management Panel with specific representatives, and with
public meetings. This Panel was created in order to meet the
requirements of the NPDES Phase II submittal and to obtain the
viewpoint of both County staff from various departments and from citizen
representatives.
7.2.5 Evaluation Process
Throughout the five year permit period, a periodic evaluation will be made
as to the effectiveness of the Stormwater Management Panel, and of its
members. If it is felt that members representative of groups not currently
on the Panel are needed, then appropriate action will be taken to expand
the stakeholder representation.

7.3 Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
7.3.1 BMP Summary Table
See Appendix F.
7.3.2 Storm Sewer System Map
At this time, the only MS4s owned and operated by Alamance County
are within the two county landfills and the county owned Cedarock Park.
The Swepsonville landfill consists of 350 acres, with 150 acres filled. This
landfill has been closed since 1993, but is environmentally monitored by
the County. The currently operating landfill is named the Austin Quarter
Road landfill, and consists of 423 acres. A total of 90 acres consisting of
seven separate cells, has been approved for filling. Cells 1 and 2b are
currently lined, and plans are being made for the next expansion.
Cedarock Park and Historical farm consists of 414 acres with two disc
golf courses, walking trails, horseback riding trails, and an operating
historical farm. Maps of these MS4s will be created of the open ditch
systems, outfalls, and any high priority areas. Verification of the outfalls
will be achieved by utilizing a GPS unit, and all maps will be kept current
by Alamance County's GIS Division, working in conjunction with staff from
these locations.
7.3.3 Regulatory Mechanism
Alamance County shall develop and implement a program to prevent,
identify and remove illicit discharges. An Illicit Discharge Detection and
Elimination Ordinance will establish methods for controlling the
introduction of pollutants into the stormwater collection system.
This Ordinance will include the following sub -headings:
■ Definitions: For the purpose of this Ordinance, terms related to
stormwater management and illicit discharges will be defined.
• Discharge Prohibitions: No person shall discharge or cause to
be discharged into the stormwater collection system any
materials, including but not limited to pollutants or waters
containing any pollutants that cause or contribute to a violation of
applicable water quality standards, other than stormwater.
• Allowable Discharges: The commencement, conduct, or
continuance of any illicit discharge to the stormwater collection
system is prohibited except as described in an allowable
discharge table. These discharges will be exempt from discharge
prohibitions established by the Ordinance provided that they do
not significantly impact water quality:
• Prohibited Discharges: It is a violation of the Ordinance for any
person to discharge any substance into the stormwater collection
system which by its nature, may:
a) become a public health hazard endangering human or
animal health.
b) interfere with the free and rapid flow of surface water.
c) be flammable or explosive.
d)be toxic to human, animal or plant life.
10

•
•
•
e) be corrosive or damaging to the stormwater collection
system.
f) affect adversely the State of North Carolina classification of
the stream into which the discharge flows.
• Prohibition of Illicit Connections: The construction, use,
maintenance, or continued existence of illicit connections to the
stormwater collection system will be prohibited. Any connection to
the stormwater collection system which allows the discharge of
non-stormwater, other than the exclusions listed in the allowable
discharge table of the Ordinance, is prohibited. This prohibition
expressly includes, without limitation, illicit connections made in
the past, regardless of whether the connection was permissible
under law or practices applicable or prevailing at the time of the
connection.
■ Spills: Spills or leaks of polluting substances discharged to, or
having the potential to reach the stormwater collection system,
shall be contained, controlled, collected, and removed promptly.
All affected areas shall be restored to their preexisting condition.
■ Notification of Spills: Notwithstanding other requirements of
law, as soon as any person responsible for a facility or operation,
or responsible for emergency response for a facility or operation
has information of any known or suspected release of materials
which are resulting or may result in illicit discharges or pollutants
discharging into or may reach the stormwater collection system,
said person shall take all necessary steps to ensure the discovery,
containment, and cleanup of such discharge. In the event of such
a discharge of hazardous materials, said person shall immediately
notify emergency response agencies of the occurrence via
emergency dispatch services, and shall notify the County within
twenty-four (24) hours. In the event of a discharge of non-
hazardous materials, said person shall notify the County no later
than the next business day.
• Enforcement: as described below in Section 7.3.4,
This Ordinance will allow Alamance County to identify those discharges
which are appropriate into the MS4, to target any problem discharges,
and to eliminate these problems. By utilizing an ordinance, Alamance
County will have appropriate enforcement mechanisms in place to
alleviate any problem or prohibited discharges and spills which may occur
into the MS4_
The Ordinance will be developed as follows:

7.3.4 Enforcement
The above described Ordinance will include mechanisms for
enforcement. Site inspections will be completed by qualified Alamance
County staff, and any problems will be addressed by inspection report.
On- site issues that are not corrected after issuance of an inspection
report may be addressed by a notice of violation, which could result in
civil and/or criminal penalties. Compliance with the requirements set forth
in the Ordinance will be enforced with all measures made available during
the development of the Ordinance.
7.3.5 Detection and Elimination
7.3.5_1 Procedures for locating priority areas: The initial step in
implementation of the plan for detection and elimination of illicit
discharges is the mapping of the open ditch network and outfalls
at the landfills and Cedarock Park. This will allow staff to assess
any high priority areas that are at greatest risk for illicit discharges.
Ambient sampling may be used to supplement any water quality
sampling that occurs at the landfills and park to further identify
high priority or impacted reaches.
7.3.5.2 Procedures for tracing the source: County staff will utilize
existing information concerning the contents of the landfills, and
drainage areas of the park, to help identify possible sources for
problem discharges. Field inspections and dry weather field
screening shall be conducted in any areas where an illicit
discharge is suspected. Dye tests may also be conducted,
depending on the location under investigation.
7.3.5.3 Procedures for removal: These will vary depending on the
location of the illicit discharge. Development of these procedures
will occur during the development of the illicit Detection and
Elimination Ordinance. Specific processes for removal will be
developed that address illicit public connections, prohibited or
problem discharges at the landfill, and illicit connections and
prohibited discharges at the park. Reasonable time frames for
removal in each instance will be developed, as well as
enforcement measures when these schedules are not met.
7.3.5.4 Procedures for evaluation of County programs: The
County programs will be developed as changes occur in the
landfills and park. Any new developments within the landfills and
parks that impact the MS4, as well as direct changes to the open
ditch network or outfalls will require an evaluation of the processes
and procedures within the Illicit Discharge Detection and
Elimination Ordinance and program.
7.3.6 Non Stormwater Discharges
Non stormwater discharges and illicit discharge categories will be
addressed within the Ordinance. The following discharges may be
addressed:
12

•
• landscape irrigation,
■ diverted stream flows,
• rising ground waters,
■ uncontaminated ground water infiltration,
• uncontaminated pumped ground water,
■ irrigation water,
• springs, and
• flows from riparian habitats and wetlands.
7.3.7 Incidental non-stormwater discharges
Alamance County will not be developing an incidental non-stormwater
discharges list at this time.
7.3.8 Outreach
Training will be conducted for all staff at the County Landfills and
Cedarock Park. This training will familiarize staff with the Illicit Discharge
Detection and Elimination program and ordinance, as well as the
processes involved with illicit discharge and spill detection and
elimination. (This section will be further developed in conjunction with the
Public Outreach and Participation and Pollution Prevention sections.)
7.3.9 Decision Process
The Stormwater Management Panel (as documented in Item 7.2.3) met
and discussed this section of the program. The goals shown above and
listed in Appendix F are the result of this process. The Illicit Discharge
Detection and Elimination program will be administered by the Planning
Director, but the staff at the landfills and parks, and all members of the
panel will be fundamental in the success and implementation of the
program.
7.3.10 Evaluation
An evaluation of the Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination program
will be conducted by the members of the Stormwater Management Panel.
Meetings will be held throughout the five year permit term to facilitate
these evaluations, and to implement any changes to the program.

7.5.3 Fecal Coliform
Fecal Coliform testing is currently performed annually at the Austin
40 Quarter Landfill. Testing at the Swepsonville Landfill and Cedarock Park
outfalls shall begin within 12 months of the issuance of the NPDES Phase
II permit for Alamance County. If fecal coliform is detected at any outfall at
a level that is considered unsafe, measures will be taken to identify the
source and remove it, if on County property. If the source is identified
upstream of any of the three covered sites, the Alamance County Health
Department will be notified of the problem. The landfills are operated by
the Alamance County Health Department,
7.5.4 There are no SA waters in Alamance County.
7.5.5 There are no designated trout waters in specified drainage basins.
7.5.6 Nutrient Sensitive Waters
Each of the three sites lie within the Haw River Basin, which is designated
as a Nutrient Sensitive Water by NCDENR- Division of Water Quality. The
following measures will be implemented by Alamance County in order to
further protect these waters:
7.5.6.1 A Nutrient Management Ordinance will be developed,
adopted and implemented which will ensure that the best
management practices for reducing nutrient loading are selected
and implemented at these sites.
7.5.6.2 A Nutrient Application Management Program was
developed by the Alamance Soil and Water Conservation District
and is attached as Appendix K.
7.5.7 Comprehensive watershed protection plans for Alamance County
do not include the southern part of the County which contains the three
sites.
7.5.8 BMP Summary Table
See Appendix H.
7.5.9 Non-structural BMPs
The Post -Construction Stormwater Management Program for Alamance
County will include requirements and standards which directs new
development within the permitted sites to specific areas, and will avoid
development in areas that identified as sensitive. During the mapping of
the stormwater conveyance systems and outfalls, sensitive areas such as
wetlands and streams will be identified on the ground, located by GPS
and integrated into the GIS for these sites. Vegetated buffers are to be
maintained on the primary receiving streams for each site, and any
development which occurs on each site shall minimize the disturbance of
vegetation and soil, and shall minimize the duration that disturbed soil is
left unstabilized. Development which results in impervious surface
increases shall be kept to a minimum; however, due to the large open
space percentages at these sites, this is not currently foreseen as a
problem. Post- construction stormwater management issues will also be
15

•
included in the public outreach and education efforts of Alamance County
and the Stormwater Management Panel.
7.5.10 Structural BMPs
All structural BMPs referenced by Alamance County's Post -Construction
Stormwater Management Program will be designed and implemented
based on the guidelines set forth in NCDENR- Division of Water Quality,
Water Quality Section manual "Stormwater Best Management Practices."
Filtration practices such as grassed swales and filter strips will typically be
used at Cedarock Park, while the landfills implement both filtration and
storage practices (wet -detention ponds).
7.5.11 Regulatory Mechanism
Alamance County shall develop a Post -Construction Stormwater
Management Program which includes both program and ordinance items.
All program items will be in narrative form to provide guidelines and
descriptions of BMPs, while legal requirements will take the form of an
ordinance. A Nutrient Management Ordinance will also be developed as a
part of the overall program. Please see table below for a schedule of the
development, approval and implementation of the program and
ordinances.

7.6 Pollution Prevention/ Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
7.6.1 BMP Summary Table
See Appendix 1.
7.6.2 Affected Operations
1. Austin Quarter Road Landfill: existing General Stormwater Permit
issued by NCDENR- DWQ , Stormwater Unit. Permit number
NCG120000
2. Swepsonville Landfill: rescinded NPDES Permit No. NCG120002,
facility closed but environmentally monitored
3. Cedarock Park: no permits in place at this time.
7.6.3 Training
All new employees of Alamance County must complement orientation,
which includes the review of all Material Safety Data Sheets. New MSD
sheets will be created to address stormwater pollution issues, spill
prevention, illicit discharge elimination, and spill response processes.
These sheets will be posted in relevant visible areas that are accessed by
Alamance County employees.
Training of current employees will occur by workshops held by the County
that will discuss a general overview of the NPDES Phase 11 permit and
the Stormwater Management Program, as well as specific issues related
to staff responsibilities at the affected sites. Items developed for the
Public Education and Outreach program may also be used in the
employee training program.
7.6.4 Maintenance and Inspections
The Austin Quarter Landfill's stormwater controls are inspected every
seven days, and after any significant rainfall event. An inspection log is
kept for each inspection. Annual water quality testing is performed at
each landfill. Prevention of floatables reaching the primary receiving
streams is achieved by litter fencing. An inspection and maintenance
schedule will be developed and implemented for the stormwater
conveyance system and ponds at Cedarock Park.
7.6.5 Vehicular Operations
There are no large parking lots for County owned vehicles at these three
sites. Any County vehicles that are parked at each of these sites are
maintained by the County schedule. Skid steers that are used at the
Austin Quarter Landfill are parked in a' metal building on site when not in
use, and any outside contractor vehicles are parked on a lot which drains
to a lined cell and is not part of the stormwater collection system.
7.6.6 Waste Disposal
Accumulated sediments and any floatables removed from the stormwater
collection system and detention ponds are taken to one of the currently
operating, lined cells at the Austin Quarter Landfill.
WS,

•
7.6.7 Flood Management Projects
The Austin Quarter Road landfill maintains a 300 foot buffer from the Haw
River. All current BMPs are designed for the 25 year storm, and all open
and future cells are located 1000 feet from the Haw River. All closed cells
at the Swepsonville Landfill are located outside the floodplains for any
receiving streams. Cedarock Park trails and bridges are located and
anchored above the floodplain for Rock Creek and tributaries.
7.6.8 Existing Ordinances
There are no existing ordinances which address stormwater issues.
7.6.9 Other Evaluations
An inspection was made of the erosion and sediment control features and
procedures at the Austin Quarter Landfill. The landfill staff utilizes
vegetation and mulching to reduce sediment loss into the stormwater
collection system, and detention ponds with traditional rock outfalls are in
place and well maintained to contain sediment that does get into the
collection system.
7.6.10 Decision Process
The Stormwater Management Panel (as documented in Item 7.2.3) met
and discussed this section of the program. The Directors and Staff at
each site provided the information needed to prepare this section of the
Program. The goals shown above and listed in Appendix I are the result
of this process. The Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for
Municipal Operators section of this program will be administered by the
Planning Director, in conjunction with the Recreation and Parks
Department and the Landfill Division of the County Health Department.
7.6.11 Evaluation
An evaluation of the Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for
Municipal Operators section of this program will be conducted by the
members of the Stormwater Management Panel. Meetings will be held

Appendix G
General Engineering Design Criteria for High Density Project Stormwater Runoff Controls
(1) The size of the system must take into account the runoff at the ultimate built -out potential from
all surfaces draining to the system, including any off -site drainage. The storage volume of the
system shall be calculated to provide for the most conservative protection using runoff calculation
methods described on pages A.1 and A.2 in "Controlling Urban Runoff: A Practical Manual For
Planning And Designing U r b a n BMPs" which is hereby incorporated by reference not including
amendments. This document is available through the Metropolitan Washington (D.C.) Council of
Governments at a cost of forty dollars ($40.00).
This method is also described in the Division's document "An Overview of Wet Detention Basin
Design." Other engineering methods may be approved if these methods are shown to provide for
equivalent protection;
(2) All side slopes being stabilized with vegetative cover shall be no steeper than 3:1 (horizontal to
vertical);
(3) All stormwater management structures shall be located in recorded drainage easements for the
purposes of operation and maintenance and shall have recorded access easements to the nearest
public right-of-way. These easements shall be granted in favor of the party responsible for
operating and maintaining the stormwater management structures;
(4) Vegetative filters designed in accordance with Paragraph (f) of this Rule are required from the
overflow of all infiltration systems and discharge of all stormwater wet detention ponds. These
filters shall be at least 30 feet in length.
(5) Stormwater controls shall be designed in accordance with the provisions of this appendix.
Other designs may be acceptable if these designs are shown by Alamance County, to the
satisfaction of NCDENR- Division of Water Quality, to provide equivalent protection;
(6) In accordance with the Antidegradation Policy as defined in 15A NCAC 2B .0201, additional
control measures may be required on a case -by -case basis to maintain and protect, for existing
and anticipated uses, waters with quality higher than the standards; and
(7) Stormwater control measures used for sedimentation and erosion control during the
construction phase must be cleaned out and returned to their designed state.

Cedarock Park is a county owned Recreational Park consisting of a total of 414 acres. The majority of the
park is wooded and is covered by grassy areas. These areas receive no commercial application of fertilizer.
They are maintained as natural areas
The fields listed in this plan are part of the Historical Farm Section of the park. This is the only area that
receives fertilizer applications. These fields consist of pastureland and a hay field that are utilized for the
farm animals present at the farm. Applications of fertilizer are applied to these fields to maintain the
pasture grass and produce hay for the animals.
This plan is based on Nitrogen requirements only. There currenty is not an assesment tool that will
evaluate other nutrients that are available. Currently most state regulations recognize Nitrogen as the
damaging nutrient in Nutrient sensitive waters.

The Austin Quarter Landfill site consists of 423 acres with 90 acres approved for waste disposal. Land
that is not currently used in the landfill is planted in Lobllolly Pine and natural vegetation.
All roads, ditches, landfill cell areas and slopes are seeded and maintained according to NCDENR -
Division of Land Resources - Land Quality Section recomendations.
This plan addresses these open landfill areas as field 9 1. This gives a recomendation for Nutrient
Management - Nitrogen on all active areas. Planting and fertilizer recomendations on disturbed areas
depend on the time of the year these areas are seeded to small grains such as rye, millett or permanent
covers such as fescue and lespedeza.
As additional assessment tools for Nutrient Management become available, these recomendations will be
added to this plan.

The following crop note applies to field(s): 1
In the Piedmont, oats and barley should be planted from October 1-October 25; and rye from October
15-November 10. For barley, plant 22 seed/drill row foot and increase the seeding rate by 5% for each
week seeding is delayed beyond the optimum time. See the seeding rates table for applicable seeding rate
modifications in the current NCSU "Small Grain Production Guide". Also, increase the initial seeding rate
by at least 10% when planting no -till. Oats should be planted at 2 bushels/acre and rye at 1-1 1/2
bushels/acre. Plant all these small brains at 1-1 1/2 deep. Adequate depth control is essential. Review the
NCSU Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding
variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Apply no more than 30 lbs/acre N at
planting. Phosphorus and potash recommended by a soil test can also be applied at this time. The
remaining N should be applied during the months of February -March.
The following crop note applies to field(s): l
Fescue: Piedmont
Adaptation: Well -adapted.
In the Piedmont, tall fescue can be planted Aug. 20 to Oct. 10 (best) and Feb. 15 to Mar. 20. For
pure -stand broadcast seedings use 20 to 30 lb/ac., for drilled use 15 to 20 lb/ac. seed. Use certified seed to
avoid introducing weeds or annual ryegrass. Plant seed 0.25" to 0.5" deep for pure stands, 0.25" i« mixture
• with clovers. Soil test for preplant and maintenance lime, phosphorus, and potassium recommendations.
Apply 40 to 60 Ib/ac nitrogen at planting for pure stands only. Do not apply N for mixtures with clovers
but use proper legume inoculation techniques. Apply 150 to 200 lb/ac. N to pure -stand fescue for hay
production; reduce N rates by 25% to 50% for grazing. Apply N Feb. i to Mar. 20 and Aug. 20 to Sept.
30, with equal amounts in each window. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization
of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for. additional information or consult your regional agronomist
