Mr, James A. Cain, tll:
The Division of Water Quality's Stormwater and General Permits Unit hereby acknowledges receipt of your foam
SWU-266: Stormwater non -ownership 1 non -operation certification on January 27, 2003.
Please be advised that this certification is accepted based wholly upon your evaluation. Division staff has not visited
your facilities to obtain independent verification. Discharging stormwater from a small municipal separate storm
sewer system covered by this program to the waters of the state without a valid NI'DES permit will subject the
responsible party to a civil penalty up to $25,000 a day.
The Division encourages you to continue to keep abreast of the permanent rulemaking process associated with the
NPDES Stormwater Discharge Program. The final North Carolina permanent rules as currently proposed would
rely on factors other than ownership and operation to determine which public bodies need to seek permit coverage.
It is possible that your jurisdictional area will be subject to stormwater permit coverage once the permanent rules are
Finalized. The Environmental Management Commission approved taking draft permanent rule language to public
notice and public hearing at their February 13, 2003 meeting. The public hearings will be held during the month of
April and you are encouraged to continue participating in the process.
Note that this certification does not affect the legal requirement to obtain other permits which may be required by
the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, Coastal Area Management
Act, or any other Federal or Local government.
If you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact Mr. Darren England at telephone number (919) 733-

Subject: NPDES Phase II Stormwater Program
Betty Sutton:
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 II 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 storm water
runoff. The Phase II 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 11 is intended to further reduce adverse impacts to water quality and aquatic habitat by
instituting the use of controls on the unregulated sources of stormwater 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.
We are writing to you to remind you that the Town of Belville has been identified as being located within a census
designated urbanized area in both the 1990 and 2000 decennial census. 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 Belville does not own or operate a small MS4. The deadline for submitting
your application package or non -ownership certification is March 10, 2003. 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/SLIlstormwater.htm1. You may also contact us for hard copies of the documents. If
you have any questions about this letter, please feel free to contact me (919-733-5083, ext.525) or Darren England

Attachment to: Stormwater Non -Ownership / Non -Operation Certification Form
January 2, 2003
The Town of Walkertown hereby applies for Certification as a Non -owner and a Non -
operator of a small municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4), because Walkertown does not
own or operate a MS4.
The Town of Walkertown has a permanent population of 4,065 (July 1, 2002 Official
Estimate). There is no seasonal population. Although Walkertown is not far from Winston-
Salem, the residents are mainly older and have lived in the community for many years.
Walkertown is located in Northeastern Forsyth County, in an area that is still quite rural and
undeveloped. Our growth rate is quite low. The Town of Walkertown has not annexed any
territory in the past six years and none is planned. Walkertown has no industry and only a few
stores.
Walkertown provides garbage service and street lights as amenities for residents. No
recycling. Our tax rate is low and our staff only has four paid employees: Town Manager, Town
Clerk, Receptionist/Typist and a Maintenance Man. Our Town Hall was donated to us.
Our water comes from the City -County Utilities Commission — we are not a member of the
Commission nor are any members of its Board from Walkertown. Walkertown has no sewer
service at this point, but when it arrives it will also be handled by the City -County Utilities
Commission.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency defines MS4 in the Stormwater
Regulations as a "conveyance or system of conveyances" including roads and municipal streets
with drainage systems designed or used for collecting or conveying stormwater. The Town of
Walkertown has no conveyances or systems of conveyances of any kind. None are planned.
Walkertown does receive a small amount of Powell Bill funds for road construction,
which are transferred to the NC Department of Transportation whenever any roads in
Walkertown are to be paved or repaired. No streets have been paved in the past four years.
Walkertown still has several unpaved streets; almost all streets that DOT paved for Walkertown

are paved with tar and stone, not asphalt. The Town itself does not build, pave, repair or
maintain any roads in our jurisdiction. While our maintenance man does pickup dead animals
off all the roads, that is the limit of our road maintenance. Our roads in the Town of Walkertown
have no catch basins, man-made channels, storm drains, pipes, ditches, drains, curbs and gutters,
or sheet flow (?) — designed or used for collecting or carrying stormwater — nor do we
maintain any of these.
The Town of Walkertown tax rate of 14 cents (plus 6 cents for our fire districts) produces
approximately $375,000 each year for town operations, almost entirely from residential property.
Taxes have not been raised in six years and no increases are contemplated. This means that
funds are limited for any new or expanded projects.
The Town of Walkertown will of course cooperate with any area -wide stormwater
programs that can be fitted into our Budget.
