Mullins, Town Planner Town of Long View 2404 First Avenue, South West Long View, North Carolina 28602 Dear Mr. Mullins; Subject: Request for Waiver 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 Town of Long View 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 Town of Long View may subsequently be required to seek coverage under an NPDES permit if circumstances change. Although requirements to seek an NPDES Permit to administer the six minimum measures in 40 CFR 122,34 has been waived for the Town of Long View, beginning 1 July 2007, any new development that cumulatively disturbs one acre or more of land located in the Town of Youngsville, 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. If you have any questions concerning this waiver or the post -construction requirements in Session Law 2006-246, please contact me at 919/733-5083 ext. 545. Sincerely, .

In evaluating the waters that receive discharge from the Town of Long View it does appear that storm water controls are not neededbased on the waste load allocations that are part of an EPA approved or established TMDL. The Town of Long View anticipates future discharges from the town do not have the potential of exceeding water quality standards, including impairment of designated uses, or other significant water quality impacts, including habitat and biological impacts. Under Session Law 2006-246, post —construction stormwater management requirements will be implemented in Long View within Catawba County.and the Water. Supply Watershed area of the incorporated area in Burke County. We believe that these requirements, along with the other measures the Town has implemented will minimize the impacts due to polluted stormwater runoff within the jurisdiction of the Town of Long View. Town staff routinely visits areas within its jurisdiction with an eye out for illicit discharges to storm drains and waterways. The town actively pursues pollution prevention maintaining an inventory of municipal facilities and operations with the potential for generating polluted stormwater runoff, including the MS4 system and associated structural BMPs. Town staff conducts routine inspections at municipal facilities and operations for potential sources of polluted runoff, the stormwater controls, and conveyance systems with the ultimate goal of preventing or reducing pollutant runoff.

The easiest way to find it is to take Exit 121, the Long View exit, off of Interstate 40 and make a left (it doesn't matter if you are traveling East or west it's still a left). Follow that road (33rd St.) until you come to a street light and make a right. Go approximately 1/2 a mile and you will see the Long View Government Center on your left (you can't miss it). If you need directions from an alternate route just let me know. See you then.

Non-structural BMP Non-structural BMPs are preventive actions that involve management and source controls such as: (1) Policies and ordinances that provide requirements and standards to direct growth to identified areas, protect sensitive areas such as wetlands and riparian areas, maintain and/or increase open space, provide buffers along sensitive water bodies, 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. 17. Outfall The point of wastewater or stormwater discharge from a discrete conveyance system. See also point source discharge of stormwater. Part V I I I Page 3 of 4 F". 9 20. 21 22. Permittee The owner or operator issued this permit. Point Source Discharge of Stormwater Any discernible, confined and discrete conveyance including, but not specifically limited to, any pipe, ditch, channel, tunnel, conduit, well, or discrete fissure from which stormwater is or may be discharged to waters of the state.

The flow of water which results from,precipitation and which occurs immediately following rainfall or as a resultof'snowmelt 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 Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act.

Klimek, P. E. Director Division of Water Quality Coleen H. Sullins, Deputy Director. Division of Water Quality Subject: Notice of Non -Compliance 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 the 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 stormwater runoff. The Phase II program expands the Phase 1 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 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 the Bureau of Census defined "urbanized area" based on the latest decennial Census. The Town of Longview was notified in writing on November 6, 2002, (copy attached) that it had been identified as being located within a census designated urbanized area. As a regulated public entity, the Town of Longview is required to: 1. File a certification that the village of xxxx does not own or operate a small MS4 2. Request a waiver, or 3. Develop a written stormwater management program and submit the stormwater management plan along with an application for a Phase II Stormwatcr Discharge Permit. The deadline for submitting, non -ownership certification, a request of waiver, or your application package was May 6, 2004. An incomplete application was submitted March 12, 2003. Additional information was submitted December 8, 2004; however, the Town of Longview was notified that the application was still incomplete on April 18, 2005. Application and certification documents, as well as additional information on the NPDES stormwater program, are available for download at our web site: http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/NPDES_Phase_II Stormwater_Program.htm Please submit the additional information requested in April, 2005, by December 31, 2005.

Page 4 or 14 5.0 Co -Permitting Information (if applicable) An MS4 may work with another MS4 or group of MS4s to develop and implement the Phase II stormwater program within their jurisdictional area. If subject MS4s are working jointly on development and implementation of all required minimum measures, then those entities may apply for a single NPDES permit as co-permittees. If an MS4 is working with another MS4 or group of MS4s to develop and/or implement only a few:of the required six minimum measures, then those MS4s may not apply as co-permittees. In this•case, each MS4 must obtain their own NPDES permit and retain full responsibility for the implementation of the permit requirements through whatever mechanisms the MS4 may choose (contract, interlocal agreement, etc.). 5.1 Co-Permittees: List the name of each MS4 owner/operator and the responsible party contact information for each MS4 applying for the co -permit. Also list any existing individual NPDES stormwater permits that an MS4 may hold. 5.2 , Legal Agreement(s): As a co-permittec, all cooperating MS4s will be permitted as responsible parties in the permit.

You must develop, implement, and enforce a program to address storm water runoff from new development and redevelopment projects that 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 your small MS4. Ypu'mUst use an ordinance or other regulatory mechanism to address post -construction runoff fr6m new development and redevelopment projects to the extent allowable under State, Tribal or local law. These ordinances, and subsequent modifications, will be reviewed and approved by the Department prior to implementation. The approval process will establish subsequent timeframes when the Department will review performance under the ordinance(s). The reviews will occur, at a minimum, every five years. Regulated public entities without ordinance making powers, shall demonstrate similar actions taken in their post construction stormwater management program to meet the minimum measure requirements. Your post -construction program shall apply to all new development projects that cumulatively disturb one acre or more, and to projects less than an acre that are part of a larger common plan of development or sale. The post -construction program shall apply to all redevelopment projects that cumulatively disturb one acre or more, and to projects less than an acre that are part of a larger common plan of development or sale.
