Mr. Randall,
The Town of Biltmore Forest requests that the NPDES Storm water Permit NCS000443
be rescinded and that we be granted a five year waiver for that permit. We understand
that our current storm water controls shall remain in place and any changes to these
ordinances or programs will be made available to NCDENR.
Below is a partial list of our current ordinances and control measures that hold relevancy
to the issue.
1. Upon its inception, the Town was designed after the ideas of Frederick Law
Olmstead as an arboretum type area. Green spaces were incorporated into the
property as well as a strict policy on vegetation and tree removal. Because of this,
all lots remain heavily wooded and in their natural condition.
2. The Town remains free of non -permeable sidewalks and the typical curb and
gutter storm water system. Road shoulders are used extensively throughout the
Town.
3. Leaves and brush are removed 2-4 times per month depending on the season.
4. The Town has two commercial blowers that are used to maintain and remove
debris such as leaves, litter, and limbs from the catch basin inlets. Catch basins
are also cleaned manually an average of twice a month.
5. There is a daily litter pick-up on every road in the Town limits.
6. Buncombe County is contracted to oversee all pre -construction and pos-
construction activities as well as any inspections.
7. The Town has a local board of adjustment for all plan reviews.
8. The Town maintains a working relationship with OSHA and they regularly
complete inspections of all facilities, paperwork, and BMP's for the Town.
9. The storm water map has been completed identifying all outfalls.
10. Storm water brochures are available at the Town Hall and information is available
for the residents on the Town's website and in the bi-annual newsletter.
11. The golf course located in the center of town is current on their pesticide licensing
and are governed and inspected by the NCDOA for all pesticides used.

While this is not a complete list of all Biltmore Forest ordinances and programs, it does
show that careful consideration is given to storm water issues. These regulations are an
integral part of the Town's normal operations and have been for decades. We fully
intend to maintain these standards.
Sincerely,
1

BMP SUMMARY TABLES

1. STORM SEWER SYSTEM INFORMATION:
1.1 Population Served:
1442 (2000 Census)
• Permanent: 1442
• Basis of Population statistic: 2000 Census has Biltmore Forest's population as 1442. The
NC Office of State Planning estimates that Biltmore Forest's 2000 population was 1440 and
the 2001 population was 1449.
• Seasonal: 0
1.2 Growth Rate:
1990 Census = 1327
2000 Census = 1442
10 year growth rate = 8.67% Annual average growth rate = 0.87%
1.3 Jurisdictional and MS4 Service Areas
Jurisdictional Area Total: 2.11 square miles
MS4 Service Area: 2.11 square miles (contiguous Town jurisdiction)
1.4 MS4 Conveyance System
The Town of BiItmore Forest storm water system is a combination of open drainage ways or
ditches with inlets and piping on local roads. The Town maintains all of the roads within the Town
Limits. Some of these pipes tie in to drainage systems on State roads, but most drain into receiving
streams directly.
There are private drives and small roadways that are both paved and unpaved and that connect to
Town roads and are maintained by owners. Most of these utilize open ditches that discharge to the
Town's maintained ditches or to the receiving stream by overland flow.
Town maintenance includes leaf and garbage pickup, yard waste and brush removal, street
sweeping, and storm -drain clearance. Public Works staff will respond to complaints on storm drains
and clean out pipes and drains as needed with shovels, rakes, or other machinery. Biltmore Forest's
Public Works Department currently maintains 9 full time employees.
Town and private systems channel water into drainage swales, ditches or pipes that flow into
Brown Branch, Four Mile Branch, Ram Branch or Raoul Branch. There is one (1) unnamed, blue -
line stream that flows north through the Forest and through commercial land in the City of Asheville
to Sweeten Creek to the northwest. There are naturally occurring, intermittent wetland areas that trap
and hold water before drainage systems flow into the receiving streams at various locations and the
Town seeks to maintain the areas through zoning and subdivision regulations. All of the streams
within Biltmore Forest are classified "C" and flow through either residential development or open
parkland within the Forest.

7. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
The Town of Biltmore Forest has met its initial 5 year goals and has developed, implemented, and enforced a
Stormwater Management Program (SWMP.) This program was 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 was developed and fully implemented
within the five years from the initial NPDES Stormwater permit. The Town has also passed Post -Construction
Run-off regulations filling the minimum measure #5. The Town will further continue to maintain and promote the
current SWMP.
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.
The Town has implemented a public education program and educational materials are available at the Town Hall.
On the Town's webpage new stormwater information is added and changed periodically. Quarterly newsletters are
also mailed to each resident which contain stormwater information. Continual educational efforts will include steps
the public can take to reduce pollutants in stormwater run-off. To accomplish this, the Town will:
Goals:
1. Continue to develop and distribute public educational materials utilizing any statewide education or outreach
programs. Have informational materials available in Town Hall and on-line, in the Town's newsletter, and
through other mechanisms identified in the planning process.
2. Work with local resources including Land -of -Sky Regional Council, RiverLink and NCSU (the French Broad
River Watershed Education Training Center or Cooperative Extension) and other local agencies and
organizations to develop local trainings and materials for the public, landscapers and homebuilders. This could
include topics such as Phase It Requirements, Low -Impact Design, or Habitat and Stream Restoration.
Conduct or support and advertise at least one such training per year.
3. Determine locations of stream bank degradation within privately owned properties within the Town and provide
property owners with information on stabilization and best management practices (BMPs) that can be used for
improvements.
4. Place information in the Town's newsletter alerting people that the storm drains are not for waste disposal.
7.1.1 BMP Summary Table attached at the end of this chapter.

basin. Basin is checked regularly and after rains for any evidence of seepage or leaks. Automotive repair
and significant maintenance for Town vehicles is done through local private mechanic services. Vehicle
washing is performed outside the Public Works Building or at local car washes as needed. The Public
Works Facility does not have a wash bay but biodegradable soap is used for this process.
Salt storage is under shelter at the Public Works Facility. Sand is stored in the open. Other materials are
also stored within the Public Works building and hazardous materials are stored on spill —pallets to contain
any materials if they should seep, leak, or spill out of their containers or barrels/drums.

minimize impervious surfaces, and/or minimize disturbance of soils and vegetation; (2)
policies or ordinances that encourage infill development in higher density urban areas,
and areas with existing storm sewer infrastructure; (3) education programs for developers
and the public about minimizing water quality impacts; (4) other measures such as
minimizing the percentage of impervious area after development, use of measures to
minimize directly connected impervious areas, and source control measures often thought
of as good housekeeping, preventive maintenance and spill prevention.

following rainfall or as a result of snowmelt.
22. 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.
23. Toxic Pollutant
