Background NPDES Information
In 1990 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Phase I stormwater program
was promulgated under the Clean Water Act. Phase I relics 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 S acres of land or
greater, and (3) ten categories of industrial activity.
The NPDES Stormwater Phase 11 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 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 storm water discharges that have the greatest likelihood of causing
continued environmental degradation. North Carolina is an EPA delegated state for the
federal NPDES program and implements this program through the -Division of Water
Quality (DWQ). A small MS4 becomes part of the Phase 11 program in one.of three ways:
.1) Automatic designation, �ti r _.:..._,w......... • .
2) Petitioning, . ,..
3) TMDL designation or
4) State_ designation
Automatic designation,
Automatic designation under the federal program applies to areas defined as an -Urbanized
Area by the U.S. Census Bureau: The deFinitiori of'an Urbanized Area is complex; but in
general terms it is any local government or group of local governments that combined have
a population of 50,000 and a density of 1,000 people per square mile. Based on the most
recent census data, there are 17 Urbanized Areas in North Carolina. These areas include
123 cities and,33 counties for automatic designation. Under the automatic designation
process, permits have been issued to over 100 municipalities and some counties. '
Petitioning ,
Petitioning is the third mechanism for inclusion -of -small MS4s into the Phase II program.
Under this option, anyone can petition DWQ to cover a local government under a Phase I I..
permit if there are significant water quality concerns associated with that community.
Affected communities are notified when a petition is received. DWQ will allow for public .
input and decide whether the community should be in the program.

TMDL Desi nation
The State shall designate an owner or operator of a small municipal separate storm sewer
system (MS4) as a regulated entity if the municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) is
specifically listed by name as a source of pollutants for urban stormwater in a total maximum
daily load (TMDL) implementation plan developed in accordance with subsections (d) and (e)
of 33 U.S.C. § 1313.
State Designation
The federal regulations require state implementation agencies to develop state designation
criteria to screen communities outside of Urbanized Areas to determine if they should be
subject to Phase H. Under the state's designation criteria, the state must identify
municipalities .outside the Urbanized Areas as a candidate for designation as a regulated
entity if the municipal separate -storm sewer system (MS4) either:
➢ Discharges storrwater that has the potential to adversely impact water quality. An
adverse impact on water quality includes any activity that causes or contributes to a
violation of water quality standards, including, but not limited to, any activity that
impairs designated uses or that has a significant biological or habitat impact, or
➢ That has either a population of more than 10,000 or more than 4,000 housing units
and either a population density of 1,000 people per square mile or more or more
than 400 housing units per square mile.
Waivers, Exemptions and Certification of Non -Ownership
Population of less than 1,000
Pursuant to Senate Bill 1210 and 40 CFR 122.32, municipalities with a population of less than 1,000,
are not required to obtain a Phase II National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
permit for stormwater management unless the municipality is shown to be contributing to an
iinpairment of State waters, as determined under the requirements of 33 U.S.C. § 1313(d). The State
inay waive the requirements otherwise applicable to the municipality if the municipal separate
storm sewer systern (MS4) serves a population of less than 1,000 within the urbanized area and they
meet theJollowing 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 waste load allocations that are part of an EPA approved or established
"total maximum daily load" (TMDL) that addresses the pollutant(s) of concern.
The [Name of the Public Entity] (population number) is requesting their permit, [Permit No.] be
rescinded and be grantee{ a waiver pursuant to Senate Bill 1210 and 40 CFR 122.32. Existing
municipal programs in place ensure [Name of the Public Entity] operations and activities are not
Pj

contributing substantially to the pollutant loadings of the water bodies to which it drains. The [Name
of the Public Entity] does not drain to water bodies that do not meet water quality standards or
which have impaired uses at this time. Attached are
A list of the waters, including small streams, tributaries, lakes, and pondsjhat receive a
discharge from the MS4 and information on the receiving streams, including receiving
stream name, stream segment, water quality classification, use support rating and if known,
any water quality issues including threatened and endangered species and
A suinmary of exiting municipal programs in place to ensure operations and activities are
not contributing substantially to the pollutant loadings of the water bodies to which it
drains.
If circumstances change [Name of the Public Entity] will seek coverage under an NPDES permit.
For populations less than 10,000
Pursuant to 40 CFR 122.32, the State may waive the requirements otherwise applicable to the
municipality if the MS4 serves a population under 10,000 and they meet the following criteria:
The State has evaluated the waters, including small streams, tributaries, lakes, and
ponds, that receive a discharge from the MS4 and has determined that storm water
controls are not needed based on 'wasteload allocations that are part of an EPA approved
or established TMDL that addresses the pollutant(s) of concern or, if a TMDL has not
been developed or approved, an equivalent analysis that determines sources and
allocations for the pollutant(s) of concern. The pollutant(s) of concern include
biochemical oxygen demand (1301)), sediment or a parameter that addresses sediment
(such as total suspended solids, turbidity or siltation), pathogens, oil and grease, and any
pollutant that has been identified as a cause of impairment of any water body that will
receive a discharge from the MS4; and
The permitting authority has determined that future discharges from the MS4 does not
have the potential to result in exceedances of water quality standards, including
impairment of designated uses, or other significant water quality impacts, including
habitat and biological impacts.
The [Name of the Public Entity] (population number) is requesting their permit, [Permit No.] be
rescinded and be granted a waiver pursuant to 40 CFR 122.32. The [Name of the Public Entity] has
evaluated the waters, including small streams, tributaries, lakes, and ponds, that receive a discharge
from the MS4 and has determined that storm water controls are not needed based on waste load
allocations that are part of an EPA approved or established TMDL. The [Name of the Public Entity]
has determined that"future discharges from the MS4 do not have the potential to result in
exceedances of water quality standards, including impairment of designated.uses, or other
significant water quality impacts, including habitat and biological impacts. Existing municipal
programs in place ensure [Name of the Public Entity] operations and activities are not contributing
substantially to the pollutant loadings of the water bodies to which it drains. The [Name of the Public
Entity] does not drain to waterbodies that do not meet water quality standards or which have
impaired uses at this time. Attached are:
• 'The results of our evaluation,
• A list of the waters, including small streams, tributaries, lakes, and ponds, that receive a
discharge from the MS4 and information on the receiving streams, including receiving
3

stream name, stream segment, water quality classification, use support rating and if known,
any water quality issues including threatened and endangered species, and
A summary of exiting municipal programs in place to ensure operations and activities are
not contributing substantially to the pollutant loadings of the water bodies to which it
drains.
If circumstances change [Name of the Public Entity] will seek coverage under an NPDES permit.
Stormwater Non-ownership/Non-operation Certification
Submission of Form SWU-266, Stormwater Non-ownership/Non-operation Certification on
January 12, 2004, constitutes notice that [Name of the Public Entity], identified in Section 1,
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 [Name of the Public Entity]does not
currently own or operate a municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) as defined in 40
CFR 122 and therefore is not currently required to complete and submit a permit
application for an.MS4.
Implementation of State Designation
The state designation process is implemented in accordance with the schedule for
Basinwide Plans. A list of public entities identified in each basin reviewed this year is
provided below. To the extent possible, publication of this list will be coordinated with
public notices issued through basinwide planning efforts. All public entities identified will
be notified in writing by DWQ. As part of the public process, DWQ will accept public
comment on the consideration of each identified entity. A final determination on
designation for each of the listed public entities will involve review of the evaluation
criteria, review of public comments received, and review of the effectiveness of any existing
water quality protection programs. Where a public entity is designated under state
designation, DWQ will notify the entity of its designation for stormwater coverage in
writing. This notification will outline the basis of the designation and.the date on which the
application for a Phase II National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit
for sto,rmwater management must be submitted.

Permit Standards
To obtain a Phase II National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for
stormwater management, an applicant shall, to the extent authorized by law, develop,
implement, and enforce a stormwater management plan approved by the Commission that
satisfies the six minimum control measures required by 40 Code of Federal Regulations §
122.34(b) (1 July 2003 Edition). The evaluation of the post -construction stormwater
management measures required by 40 Code of Federal Regulations § 122.34(b)(5) (1 July
2003 Edition) shall be conducted as provided in Session Law 2006-246, Section 9.

Criteria for Designation of Public Entities
In making designations, the DWQ will evaluate the public entities using the following
criteria:
➢ Contribution to a violation of a water quality standard or adversely impacts water
quality;
➢ Discharge to sensitive receiving waters;
➢ High population density, high growth or growth potential;
➢ Contiguity to an Urbanized Area (UA);
➢ Significant contributor of pollutants to waters' of the state; and
➢ Effectiveness of applicable water quality protection programs.
Contribution to a Violation of a Water Quality Standard
In making designations, the DWQ will evaluate whether the public entity may contribute to
a violation of water quality standard or adversely impacts water quality by discharging or
potentially discharging stormwater.to sensitive waters within a growing population area
based on:
➢ State and local water quality data and other environmental indicators;
➢ Documented comments and other information from interested stake holders; and
➢ Information collected by the Division of Water Quality.
Discharge to Sensitive Receiving Waters
Sensitive Receiving Waters include:
➢ Waters classified as high quality, outstanding resource, shellfish, trout or nutrient
sensitive waters; .
➢ Waters which are occupied by or designated as critical habitat for federally -listed
aquatic animal species that are listed as threatened or endangered by the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service or National Marine Fisheries Service under the provisions of
the Endangered Species Act, 16 U.S.C. 1531-1544; or
➢ . Waters for which the designated use, a's set forth in the state's classification system,
have'been determined to be impaired.
High Population Density. Fligh Growth or Growth Potential
In making designations, the DWQ will evaluate whether the public entity has an actual
population growth rate that exceeds 1.3 times the State population growth rate for the
previous 10 years or has an actual population increase that exceeds fifteen percent (15%)
of its previous population for the previous two years.
9

Contiguity to an Urbanized Area
The definition of an Urbanized Area is complex, but in general terms it is any local
government or group of local governments that combined have a population of 50,000 and
a density of 1,000 people per square mile. Based on the 1990 census data, there are 17
Urbanized Areas in forth Carolina. These areas include 60 cities and 25 counties for
automatic designation. An additional 63 cities and 8 counties have been identified based
on the 2000 US Census.

Significant Contribution of Pollutants
In making designations, the DWQ will evaluate whether the public entity discharges are, or -
have the potential to be, a,significant contributor of pollutants.
Effectiveness of Existing Water Quality Programs .
To determine the effectiveness' of other applicable water.quality protection programs, the
DWQ shall consider whether the public entity has other state and /or local programs in
place that effectively protect water quality and the water quality of the receiving waters.
and whether the waters support the uses set out in subsections (c), (d), and (e) of 15A .
NCAC 2B .0101 (Procedures for Assignment of Water Quality Standards - General
Procedures) and the specific classification of the waters set out in 15A NCAC 2B .0300, et
seq. (Assignment o-f Stream Classifications).
Implications for a Designated Community '
Stormwater Management Plan ;
All Regulated Public Entities (RPEs) shall develop, implement and enforce a stormwater
management plan approved by the DWQ. The plan shall be designed to reduce discharge of
pollutants to the maximum extent practicable and, except as otherwise provided, shall
include but not be limited to the following minimum measures: .
L 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 runoff.
2. A public involvement and participation program consistent with all applicable state
and local requirements.
3. A program to detect and eliminate illicit discharges within the RPE jurisdictional
area.
4. A program to reduce pollutants in any stormwater runoff to the MS4 or waters of
the State from construction activities resulting from a land disturbance of greater
than or equal to one acre.
S. A program to address post -construction stormwater runoff from new development
and redevelopment projects that cumulatively disturb greater than or equal to one .
'acre, including projects less than one acre that are part of a larger common plan of
development or sale, that discharge into the MS4 or into an interconnected MS4 or
waters of the State; and
6. A pollution prevention/good housekeeping program for municipal operations that
addresses operation and maintenance, including a training component, to prevent
or reduce pollutant runoff from those.operations.
RPEs may use qualified existing state and local programs to meet the required permit
minimum measures either in whole or in part..

RPEs shall have permit conditions that establish schedules for implementation of each
component of the stornnwater management program based on the submitted application,
and shall fully implement a program within five years from permit issuance. Shorter time
frames may be set in approved programs for implementation of specific measures.
Public Comment and More Information
As part .of the public process, DWQ will accept public, comment on.the consideration of each
identified entity. Public comments may be submitted to the Division of Water Quality in

Delineation Process for Regulated Coverage Areas Outside of Designated Phase II
Municipalities
Session Law 2006-246, Section 4(b) outlines'a "Delineation Process" to delineate
regulated coverage areas in unincorporated areas of a county outside a In Lill icipality that
is designated as a regulated entity. If these areas are delineated, post construction
