Re: Longview SouthfRequest for Non -Binding Interpret Ruling
L� p
ra�g
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This firm represents Longview South, LLC ("LVS"), the developer of a proposed residential development
(the "Project") to be located partially within the Village of Marvin, North Carolina. The Project would
consist of 58 lots on approximately 122 acres near the intersection of Rea Road and Tom Short Road
Extension, and will be in the Six -Mile Creek basin. LVS has obtained approval of its site plan from the
Marvin Village counsel, and approval of its grading plan from the North Carolina Department of
Environmental and Natural Resources. A copy the approved site plan is enclosed for your reference.
We write to request a non -binding interpretive ruling from the Environmental Management Commission at its
May 14, 2009 meeting regarding the non -applicability of certain stream buffer requirements to the project.
In a March 17, 2008 letter to the Village of Marvin, the Division of Water Quality indicated that "new
development within the Village of Marvin is subject to the post -construction requirements of Session Law
2006-246 ... Further, within the Six -Mile Creek watershed, new development activities are subject to more
stringent requirements as a result of an Administrative Law Judge ruling and EMC decisions relating to the
protection of the Carolina heelsplitter." We note that the Division's website sets forth the same statement,
indicating that 100-foot and 200-foot buffers (for perennial and intermittent streams, respectively) be
implemented within this watershed.
We believe the Division's reference to the Administrative Law Judge's ruling refers to the decision in the case
styled North Carolina Wildlife Federation, et al. v. N.C. Division of Water Quality, 05-EHR-2055 and 06-
EHR-0164 (2006) a ruling relating to the Phase II stormwater permits held by Mecklenburg County, Mint
Hill, Indian Trail and Stallings. That decision was based solely on the requirements for the Phase 11
stormwater permits held by the identified entities. No such provision applies to the Village of Marvin. We
believe there is no reason to enforce any buffer requirements within Marvin other than the 30-foot set back
requirements set forth in Session Law 2006 — 246 and that the Division lacks authority to enforce any other
buffer requirements.

We therefore request your interpretive ruling that the only stream buffer requirements applicable to the project
are the 30-foot set back requirements set forth in Session Law 2006 -- 246. We are prepared to present
additional information regarding the stormwater control, water quality protection, and endangered species
protection methods LVS has undertaken and will undertake in connection with this Project.
Please contact me if you require any additional information or to ensure that this matter is on the FMC's May
14, 2009 agenda.
Very truly yours,

September 20, 2007
Ms. Rene Dotson
Village Administrator
Village of Marvin
P.O. Box 399
Waxhaw, North Carolina 28173
Dear Ms. Dotson:
SEA 2 4 ?007
Wend A r n All
ter vane►,
This letter is in response to your September 10, 2007, e-mail request for information concerning
the presence of the federally endangered Carolina heelsplitter mussel in Sixmile Creek, Union
County, North Carolina. In addition, you requested information concerning whether the State of
North Carolina has identified Sixmile Creek as "protected habitat" in accordance with state's
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Phase II Stormwater Control permit program.
On February 22, 2007, biologists with The Catena Group (a private consulting firm) and the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) conducted a freshwater mussel survey in an
approximately 1,000-meter (0.62-mile) reach of Sixmile Creek, along the Mecklenburg -Union
County line in North Carolina, in the vicinity of Marvin Road (SR 3635 in Mecklenburu County
and SR 1312 in Union County), for a proposed restoration/mitigation site along the stream. A
total of 1,428 native freshwater mussels, including 3 live Carolina heelsplitters, were recorded in
IT5 person -hours of survey time. In addition, three Carolina heelsplitter shells were found.
There are only three known surviving North Carolina populations of the Carolina
Heel spl itter--the Goose Creek/Duck Creek and Waxhaw Creek populations in Union County and
the Sixmile Creek population in Mecklenburg and Union Counties. All three of these
populations are small and highly vulnerable to extirpation. Residential and commercial growth
in the Sixmile Creek watershed is contributing to the significant degradation of aquatic habitat in
this stream, and suitable habitat for the Carolina heelsplitter is in serious decline.
Stream -channel and stream -bank -stability, required by freshwater mussels, are being degraded in
a number of areas throughout the watershed. Changes in the stream's hydrology due to the loss
of forest cover and an increase in impervious surface area are major factors contributing to this
channel/bank instability. In addition, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ)
has classified Sixmile Creek, from its headwaters to the state line, as having impaired water

quality and has placed this stream on the list of North Carolina's impaired waters under Section
303(d) of the Clean Water Act.
We cannot speak for the State of North Carolina concerning their regulations under the State's
Phase II Stormwater Control permit program that apply to the portion of Sixmile Creek within
the jurisdiction of the Village of Marvin. However, because Sixmile Creek is occupied habitat
for the Carolina heelsplitter, we believe the NCDWQ and the Village of Marvin should, if they
have not already done so, implement Phase II Stormwater Control permit regulations adequate to
protect the species and its habitat from further decline due to the effects of new development
activities within the watershed. Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended
(Act), strictly prohibits the "take" of endangered wildlife. "Take" is defined in the Act to include
harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, or collect any endangered species. "Harm"
may include significant habitat modification or degradation that significantly impairs essential
behavior (e.g., feeding, nesting, or rcproductior.). Ir, addition, sectlor. ? of the Act requires
federal agencies to consult with the Service to ensure that any activity they permit, fund, or carry
out does not jeopardize the continued existence of a federally listed species.
To avoid adverse impacts to, and further decline of, the Carolina heelsplitter and its habitat, we
recommend the following measures for any new development activities within the watersheds of
streams supporting the species and believe these or similar measures should be incorporated into
any new development permits issued within the Sixmile Creek watershed:
1. Stream Buffers - Natural, forested riparian buffers are critical to the health to
aquatic systems. They: (1) catch and filter runoff, thereby preventing
nonpoint-source pollutants from reaching streams; (2) enhance the in -stream
processing of both point- and nonpoint-source pollutants; (3) act as "sponges"
by absorbing runoff, which reduces the severity of floods, and by allowing
runoff to infiltrate and recharge groundwater levels for maintaining flows
during dry periods; (4) stabilize stream banks and maintain natural channel
morphology; (5) provide coarse woody debris for habitat structure and most of
the dissolved organic carbon and other nutrients necessary for the diets of
mussels and support of the aquatic food web; and (b) maintain air and water
temperatures. Within the watersheds of streams that support endangered
aquatic species, we recommend undisturbed forested buffers that are naturaily
vegetated with trees, shrubs, and herbaceous vegetation and extend a
minimum of 200 feet from the top of bank on both sides of all perennial
streams and a minimum of 100 feet from the top of bank on both sides of all
intermittent streams or the full extent of the 100-year f oodplain; whichever is
greater. Impervious surfaces, ditches, pipes, roads, and utility lines (sewer,
water, gas, transmission, etc.) and other infrastructures that require maintained
cleared rights -of -way and/or affect the functions and values of the forested
buffers should not occur within these buffers. Any unavoidable crossings of
the buffers should be as narrow as possible and should be perpendicular to the
buffers and stream channel.

2. Storm -Water Control - The expansion of urban/suburban areas creates more
impervious surfaces (such as roofs, roads, and parking lots), which collect
nathnuPnc matalc a ri;mr nt and rhamiral nnllntantc anri miirlrly tranemit
i •araaVt,vaau, aaavrµaV, .avVaaaavaaL, µaav VaavaA •aV µA YvAAµLW}LV LLAAM L�µA VAII.A'' LI KiulAllL
them (via storm -water runoff) to receiving waters. According to the
Environmental Protection Agency, this nonpoint-source pollution is one of the
major threats to water quality in the United States, posing one of the greatest
threats to aquatic life, and is also linked to chronic and acute illnesses in
human populations from exposure through drinking water and contact
recreation. Increased storm -water runoff also directly damages habitat,
causing stream -bank and stream -channel scouring. In addition, impervious
surfaces reduce groundwater recharge, reducing stream flow in periods of
drought, with potentially catastrophic effects for mussels and other aquatic
life. Accordingly, we recommend that all new developments, regardless of
the percentage of impervious surface area they will create, irnplement
storm -water retention and treatment measures designed to replicate and
maintain the hydrograph at the preconstruction condition in order to avoid any
additional impacts to the habitat quality of the Goose Creek watershed. All
storm -water outlets should drain through a vegetated upland area prior to
reaching any stream or wetland area. Sufficient retention designs should be
implemented to allow for the slow discharge of storm water, attenuating the
potential adverse effects of storm -water surges; thermal spikes; and sediment,
nutrient, and chemical discharges.
We recommend the use of low -impact -development techniques, such as
reduced road widths, grassed swales in place of curb and gutter, rain gardens,
and wetland retention areas, for retaining and treating storm -water runoff
rather than the more traditional measures, such as large retention ponds, etc.
These designs often cost less to install and significantly reduce environmental
impacts from residential development. Also, because the purpose of
storm -water -control measures is to protect streams and wetlands, no
storm -water -control measures or best management practices should be
installed within any stream type or existing wetland.
We aiso recommend that consideration be given to the use of pervious
materials (i.e., pervious concrete, interlocking/open paving blocks, etc.) for
the construction of roads, driveways, sidewalks, etc. Pervious materials are
less likely to absorb and store heat and allow the cooler temperatures of the
earth below to cool the pavement. Also pervious concrete requires less
maintenance and is less susceptible to freeze/thaw cracking due to large void
spaces within the concrete. And pervious surfaces minimize changes to the
hydrology of the watershed and can be used to facilitate groundwater
recharge,
3. Sedimentation and Erosion Control - Stringent measures to control sediment
and- erosion should be implemented prior to any ground disturbance and
should be maintained throughout project construction. We strongly
3

recommend that only native plant species be used or, if an adequate seed
source cannot be found, that noninvasive species (such as annual rye) be used
until nati�m ttlantc r•an ra•neta}lic� thamcnlvnc `t`mm�nrarcr (n n r�r� main
uaaRlA a1uRiYV rAUAARy VUAi AVVVYHVIA VAA IARV!l1U VlYVJ. 1VllltJ Vl lL1 ,' LV.�., 1�V E",l C!lll,
wheat, millet) or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all
bare soil within 5 days of any ground -disturbing activities to provide
long-term erosion control. Biodegradable erosion -control matting should be
used in conjunction with appropriate seeding of disturbed soils on steep
slopes. Matting should be secured in place with staples, stakes, or live stakes
of native trees (whenever possible).
4. ,Stream Crossings - All roadway crossings of streams and associated wetlands
on the property should be by bridging and should be made perpendicular to
the stream channel. The abutments, approaches, and other features of the
bridges should be designed and constructed to avoid stream -bank and
stream -channel disturbance and any constriction of the natural channel and the
100-year floodplain. Deck drains and side ditches should be designed to
divert runoff into stable forested vegetation that can filter sediments and other
pollutants before the water reaches the stream. The removal of vegetation in
riparian areas should be minimized, and the use of riprap should be avoided or
minimized. No stream -channel widening should occur nor should riprap be
placed in the stream channel.
If culverts are the only option, we suggest using bottomless culverts.
Bottomless culverts do not need to be buried, thereby minimizing the adverse
impacts to streams. Any type of culvert that is used should be designed to
allow for the passage of fish and other aquatic life. The culvert should be
sized to accommodate the movement of debris and bed material within a
channel during a bank -full event. We recommend the use of multiple barrels
(other than the base -flow barrel), placed on or near stream bank -full or
floodplain bench elevation in order to accommodate floodwaters within the
stream corridor. These should be reconnected to floodplain benches as
appropriate. This may be accomplished by using sills on the upstream end to
restrict or divert flow to the base -flow barrel(s). Sufficient water depth should
be maintained in the base -flow barrel during low flows to accommodate fish
movement. If the culvert is longer than 40 linear feet, alternating or notched
baffles should be installed in a manner that mimics the existing stream pattern.
This should enhance the passage of aquatic life by: (a) depositing sediment in
the barrel, (b) maintaining channel depth and flow regimes, and (c) providing
resting places for fish and other aquatic organisms.
5. Utility Lines - UtiIity lines (i.e., sewer, gas, water) should be installed outside
the ;thnvP-rPrnmmPnrlPrl huffp - width-, All utility i-mccinvc chruilrl hP kPnt to
a minimum, and all utility infrastructure should be kept out of riparian buffer
areas. The directional bore stream -crossing method (installation of utilities
beneath the riverbed, avoiding impacts to the stream and buffer) should be
used for utility crossings. Manholes or similar access structures should not be
4

allowed within buffer areas. Stream crossings should be near perpendicular to
stream flow and should be monitored at least every 3 months for maintenance
nand,-, diming the first 74 mnnthc of the nrnie.rt and nnnimlly therPadfPp r �wer
lines associated with crossing areas should be maintained and operated at all
times to prevent discharges to land or surface waters. In circumstances where
minimum setbacks cannot be attained, sewer lines shall be constructed of

North Carolina Division of Water Quality
May EMC Agenda Item # 09-,#.#':Z3
Interpretive Ruling On Longview South
On April 3, 2009 the Environmental Management Commission (EMC) received a letter from
V/fongview South, LLC)a development project in Union County near the Village of Marvin. This letter
has requested that the EMC issue a nonbinding interpretive ruling on the applicability of more
stringent stormwater and buffer requirements under DWQ stormwater permits for the protection of
the Carolina Heelsplitter, a federally listed threatened and endangered species. Longview's request
asks that the EMC determine/that only the Phase II stormwater and buffer requirements be applied

Creek watershed area.
In March of 2007 the NPDES Committee of the EMC produced a Final Agency Decision
related to NPDES Stormwater MS4 permits in the Goose Creek watershed of Union and Mecklenburg
Counties. This decision directed the Division to modify NPDES Stormwater MS/1 permits in this area
to provide more stringent stormwater and buffer requirements for the protection of the Carolina
Heelsplitter. Specifically the derision required that the permits include post -construction
requirements of 200 foot undisturbed buffers on perennial streams, 100 foot buffers on intermittent
streams and a ten percent impervious surface threshold for engineered stormwater controls. The
agency decision is attached to provide additional background on the measures and the EMC's
previous decision and rationale. (Note: these requirements have subsequently been modified
through a rulemaking process that established a site specific management strategy for this
watershed. More information on this strategy can be found at the following address:
http.//17 o.enr state.nc.us/csu/CYooseCreek-.i?tml In response to the EMC's direction the Division
modified NPDES Stormwater MS4 permits in the Goose Creek watershed to reflect the requirements
in the decision,
The Division recognized that there were other areas where the Carolina Heelsplitter, or
similar federally endangered freshwater mussels, were located in the staye��irface waters. The
Division determined that the EMC's decision established a strategy of m re stringent stormwater
control measures to protect these federally listed species from the impacts of development

into stormwater permits the Division is required to administer in other similar areas within and

Sixmile Creek -in Union and Mecklenburg Counties, which also contain populations f�the Carolina
Heelsplitter. The Division has also included similar control strategy in Stormwater NPDES MS4
permits in other areas of the state for protection of similar freshwater mussels.
The requirements discussed above may be implemented through a local government's
Stormwater NPDES MS4 permit or they may be implemented as part of the Division's
responsibilities for post construction stormwater permitting in certain areas of the state (Section
/L(a) and 4.(b) of Session Law 2006-246). In the Sixmile Creek watershed implementation occurs
through the City of Charlotte's NPDES MS4 permit and through the Division's post -construction
stormwater permitting in Union County and the Village of Marvin. Projects that disturb an arse or
more of land within Union County and the Village of Marvin are subject to Division stormwater
review under the powconstruction stormwater permitting program. Within the Sixmile Creek
watershed area t:he Division requires that the projects meet the Session Law post: -con sl:ruct:ion
requirements and also meet the more stringent buffer and stormwater requirements for protection
of the Carolina Heelsplitter. The angview South project is questioning these required strategies as
part of their post -construction p€� milting process. At this point Longview has not submitted a

advised them and the involved local governments in several interactions that the more stringent
control measures would be applicable.
This Interpretive Ruling request is seeking the EMC's input on the applicability of more
stringent buffer and stormwaler protection measures Lo areas outside the Goose Creek watershed
area that have a population of similar federally listed endangered rnussel5. The Division ferats that
we have considered the EMC's past input and the authorities and responsibilities of the Commission
and Division in applying these standards. We certainly welcome clarification from the Commission
on this process. The Division also notes that in this process it may be appropriate for the
Commission to give guidance on the applicability of requirements in the recent: Goose Creek
nulemaking to other similar, areas III the DIvi-s li'7 perrllil.ting process.
Additional Information
Basis For More Stringent Control Measures:
The Commission's fresh surface water quality standards (15A NCAC 213 .0211-0225)
establish conditions related to the best usage of various waters. These conditions include control of
sources of water pollution that may impact these uses. Session Law 2006-246 (Phase 2 Stormwater
Management) establishes specific stormwater requirements for regulated phase 2 areas. The
Session Law does not limit: stormwater controls to these requirement's where other measures are
needed to protect water quality, including uses. The post -construction practices of the Session Law
(Section 9) specifically indicate in paragraph (1) that "Nothing in this section shall limit, expand, or
alter the requirement that a discharge fully comply with all applicable state or federal water quality
standards.,,
Stormwater Permitting in the Village of Marvin:
The Village of Marvin is located in the urbanized arejof the City of Charlotte. This Subjected
Marvin to the requirements of the Phase 2 NPDES Stormwater MS4 permit requirements. In
September of 2005 the Division issued a Phase 2 NPDES Stormwater MS4 permit to the Village of
Marvin and they began the process of implementing the Stormwater programs required in the

rescinded on the basis that they did not actually own and operate a municipal separate storm

rescission of the permit the Division advised the Village that new development ar.Livity in Lhe area
would still be subject: to Division review and approval for post -construction storrwater control as
outlined in Session Law 2006-246. The Division also noted that the buffer and stormwater
requirements for the Sixmile Creek area would be consistent with the EMC's decision for Goose
Creek to protect the Carolina Heelsplitter population.

Re: Longview South/Marvin, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Randall:
As you know, this firm represents Longview South, LLC ("LVS") the developer of a proposed residential
development partially within the Village of Marvin. The development is in the Six -Mile Creek basin. The
developer has obtained approval of its site plan from the Marvin Village council, and approval of its grading
plan from union County. in your March 17, 2008 letter to the 'village of Marvin you indicated that "new
development within the Village of Marvin is subject to the post -construction requirements of Session Law
2006-246 ... further, within the Six -Mile Creek watershed, new development activities are subject to more
stringent requirements as a result of an administrative law judge ruling and I?MC decisions relating; to the
protection of the Carolina hcelsplater." !plc note that the D.visi n s websltc sets forth the same statemiien'
We have previously asked you to identify the EMC decision relating to protection of the heelsplitter that
covers Six -Mile Creek and we have not received any such identification. We believe your reference to an
administrative law judge's ruling refers to the decision in the case styled North Carolina Wildlife Federation,
el al. v. N.C. Division of Water Quality, 05 EFIR 2055 and 06 EHR 0164 (2006) administrative law judgc
ruling relating to the Phase II stormwater permits held by Mecklenburg County, Mint 1-1111, Indian "frail and
Stallings. The administrative law judge's decision was based solely on the requirements for the Phase It
stormwater permits held by the identified entities. No such provision applies to Marvin. As we have
explained before, there is no reason to enforce any buffer requirements within Marvin other than the
provisions set forth in 2006-246, and the Division lacks authority to enforce any other butter requirements.
Should the Division attempt to enforce any requirements different than the requirements set forth in 2006-
246, LVS will take such action as necessary to protect its rights including filing legal action against the
Division.
Very truly yours,
Moore & Van Allen PLI-C

MEMORANDUM

Village of Marvin Council
CC: Anthony Fox
FROM: Tom Griffin
DATE: October 26, 2007
RE: Proposed Longview South Development -- Issues Raised by the Potential
Presence of the Carolina Heelsplitter
I have been asked to outline my thoughts on the endangered species issues raised by the
proposed "Longview South development in the V 11148e UL I Adl Ylrl.
Brief Back round
The endangered species issues are before the Village Council in connection with the
developer's request for approval of a subdivision plat pursuant to. the Village of Marvin
Subdivision Ordinance. The proposed subdivision would be located along an intermittent
tributary that drains to Six Mile Creek, in which the United States Fish and Wildlife Service
("FWS") has identified the Carolina Heelsplitter (in the vicinity of Marvin Road). The
heelsplitter is a federally -listed "endangered species" under the Endangered Species Act of 1973.
The particular issue relates to the size of undisturbed buffer that might be required along
L,. +..�....:u.,..++..:1.-.+.. I:..0 f+1. narana ^fflia ha lonlit+ar and anrd;nakla lauv Tha FWC

and the Division of Water Quality of the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources ("DWQ") both recommend undisturbed buffers of 200 feet along perennial streams
and 100 feet along intermittent streams within watersheds where the heelsplitter is located.
There is also a "final agency decision' in a North Carolina Office of Administrative Hearings
contested case proceeding that temporarily imposes the 200/100 feet buffers, and a ten percent
impervious surface threshold for engineered stormwater management controls, in certain Phase II
Stormwater permits in the Goose Creek watershed; the requirements apply until the
'Environmental Management Commission adopts a site -specific comprehensive plan for the
watershed (which could include different or smaller buffers or other management measures)
under 15A N.C.A.C. 2B .0110. North Carolina Wildlife Federation, et al v. North Carolina
Department of En vironment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality, 05 EHR 2055
and 06 EHR 0164 (consolidated cases)(March 7, 2007).
CLT I0829850

The developer has proposed that the 200/100 foot buffers are not required by applicable
law or the NCWF decision, and that the buffer in these areas should instead be limited to 30 feet
on either side of the intermittent stream.
Finally, the Subdivision Ordinance also contains a requirement for stream buffers. I will
defer to your understanding of the Ordinance, but it appears to contemplate buffers of up to 100
feet, depending on which way drainage flows. The buffer in the Subdivision Ordinance is not
required to be totally undisturbed.
Witb this background, I was asked for my recommendation on what steps the Village
Council should take in light of possible impacts to the heelsplitter. The issues related to the
interaction of endangered species, buffers and storm water issues can be complicated. For ease
of use and reference, therefore, I have outlined below my basic conclusions and
recommendations in a "bullet form" outline. This should provide the lay of the land in a more
usable fashion. Once you have had a chance to dieest these points. I would be happy to _provide
as much additional detail as you would like. v
Arizuments by the Developer
The developer has presented its views and interpretation in a memorandum and separate
e-mail. It essentially suggests that (i) buffers along the intermittent stream must be limited to 30
feet, pursuant to Session Law 2006-246, (ii) DWQ does not have authority to impose larger
buffers, (iii) the recent NCWF contested case decision is not applicable to the proposed
development, and (iv) Six Mile Creek has not been designated as "critical habitat" for the
heelsplitter, implying (I imagine) that there are no applicable federal endangered species
requirements until that designation takes place. After considering the developer's suggested
position, I have provided my reaction, as follows:
Soormwater
• With respect to stormwater control, I understand that Marvin is no longer subject
to a separate Phase II NPDES permit for stormwater discharge. Post -construction stormwater
control is therefore governed primarily by Session Law 2006-246, which implements the Phase
U program. In this circumstance DWQ regulates the post -construction program in lieu of the
Village.
• Session Law.2006-246 does impose a requirement for 30-foot buffers. That law
states, however, that the buffer must be "at least" 30 feet. I have not found language that limits
any buffers to only 30 feet regardless of the circumstance. See Session Law 2006-246, Section
9(d). -
• Importantly, Section 9(1) of Session Law 2006-246 also states that, " [n]othing in
the section shall limit, expand, or alter the requirement that a discharge fully comply with all
applicable State or federal water quality standardf (emphasis added).
2
CLT 1082985vi

• In considering the water quality standards in this situation, two concepts come
into play -- "the best usage" of waters and "biological integrity."
s Under North Carolina's standards applicable to Class C waters, the "best
usage" of waters means that "[t]he waters shall be suitable for aquatic life
propagation and maintenance of biological integrity .... sources of water
pollution which preclude any of these uses on either a short-term or long-term
basis shall be considered to be violating a water Quality standard." 15A N.C.A.C.
213 .0211(2) (emphasis added).
0 North Carolina's water quality standards include the protection of
"biological integrity." Id. at .0211(1). North Carolina regulations define
"biological integrity" as "the ability of an aquatic ecosystem to support and
maintain a balanced and indigenous community of organisms have species
t a' ero:rx, "^T%iulatinn dengitieg nnri fimrtinnal nrvnni2atinn similar to
colilpVst�tvia, Y&�bl 0.&.7 Y"N •a•-•--------
that of reference conditions." Id. at .0202(l 1).
• Interpreting this language, the administrative law judge in the NCWF
proceeding found that DWQ's "legal obligation to protect biological integrity
necessarily includes the protection of the most sensitive species within a
watershed. Therefore, in the Goose Creek watershed, biological integrity
encompasses the ability of the watershed to maintain the federally endangered
Carolina heelsplitter population." NWCF at 27-•28.
a The developer correctly states that the NCWF case considered a different legal
issue, and that technically it does not directly apply to our situation. However, in light of (i)
Nviih Carolina's water quality stc'a.^+Juds, (i" the lancnin;e in Session Law 006-246 stating that
any discharge must comply with those standards, and (iii) a contested case opinion holding that
the water quality standards must include protection of a watershed containing endangered
species,,I believe that the developer would be hard pressed to convince DWQ that the agency
does not have the right to impose the 200/100 foot buffers or other requirements to protect water
quality and biological integrity in the Six Mile Creek watershed.
• The result is'that I would not be at all surprised if DENR were to insist on the
larger buffers for the proposed project, if indeed the agency perceives the possibility that post -
construction stormwater runoff in this watershed could adversely impact the endangered
heelsplitter.'
' I am basing my conclusion solely on my reading of Session Law 2006-246. 1 would be happy to talk with
someone at DWQ to clarify the interaction of the 30-foot buffer and the North Carolina water quality standards.
Ultimately, however, I am not sure that this analysis is particularly relevant. Because the Village is no longer
subject to the Phase II permitting requirements it would not be imposing buffers under those rules. Instead, as I
describe below, I am recommending that the Village Council obtain information and evaluate buffers under both the
Subdivision Ordinance and the Endangered Species Act.
CLT 1082985vl

Endangered Species
• The fact that Six Mile Creek is not yet designated as "critical habitat" for the
heelsplitter does not mean that there are no protections in place under the Endangered Species
Act. Quite the contrary, Section 9 of the Act unequivocally prohibits the "taking" of any
endangered species by any person, including a municipality. To "take" under the Act means to
"harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap or collect" any endangered species, or to
attempt to engage in such conduct. 16 U.S.C. § 1532(19). The term "harm," in turn, "may
include significant habitat modification or degradation which actually kills or injures fish or
wildlife by significantly impairing essential behavior patterns, including breeding, spawning,
rearing mityrating feeding or chAteriner " rm r F.R 7??,1 o?. Tinder these broad definitions;
the "taking" of an endangered species under the Act may occur regardless of whether habitat has
officially been designated as "critical."2
• In light of the broad wording and application of the Endangered Species Act, I
believe that there is some risk that one could at least claim that the Village of Marvin is engaged
in a "taking" of an endangered species by approving a subdivision plat that proposes buffer areas
that are far smaller than those recommended by environmental agencies with expertise in this

,be taken to protect important natural resources (see below); ignoring that language could lead to
claims that the Village failed to exercise powers available to it to protect endangered species.
• We have researched this issue very briefly, and have not yet found a case
evaluating similar land use decisions by a municipality under the Endangered Species Act.
There are, however, cases suggesting that the Act can and should be read broadly to include the
implementation of government policies that could "take" an endangered species. Also, I note

violation of Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act. We are attempting to obtain the relevant
filings to better understand this claim, but the nature of the case suggests that the environmental
groups were perhaps arguing that DWQ violated Section 9 (or "tools" an endangered species) by
issuing a permit that did not include adequate protections for the heelsplitter. DENR's alleged
action would be analogous to the Village approving a subdivision plan without adequate
protections.
• 11 yol.! Wuitiu tiNV, 1 t.an update you oil L111a'""" pvliat VlAce received the papers.
In the meantime, I wanted to highlight the risk that the Village could be at least exposed to
claims that it violating the Endangered Species Act by approving a plan without adequate
information to determine whether the heelsplitter is being protected.
2 As the developer notes, the designation of habitat as "critical" would be potentially significant if the developer
were required to obtain a permit from the Corps of Engineers or some other federal agency. If a permit were
required, "Section 7" coordination with FWS is triggered, and the existence of critical habitat plays a role in that
coordination. Even under Section 7, however, the critical habitat designation is not dispositive. Federal permitting
agencies such as the Corps are required to coordinate with FWS on whether the proposed activity "jeopardizes" the
continued existence of an endangered or threatened species, regardless of whether critical habitat is affected.
4
CLT 1082985v1

The Subdivision Ordinance
As noted above, my concern about the potential application of the Endangered Species
Act is heightened because I believe that the Subdivision Ordinance permits (and arguably
requires) the Village Council to request information on the development's impact to endangered
species and the "reasonable measures" that the developer is taking to avoid those impacts.
• Section 2(l l) of Article VIIA requires that, for a Iarge tract subdivision, the
developer prepare an "Existing Resources and Site Analysis Plan." The plan must include
the location and delineation of streams, wetlands and similar features.
• Section 5 of Article VIIB states that "[n]atural areas containing rare or
endangered plants and animals, as well as other features of natural significance may exist
in Marvin. Subdivision applicants shall take all reasonable measures to 1rotect
significant natural areas and features identified by the applicant's Existing Resources and
Site Analysis Plan." (emphasis added).
In light of this language and the potential presence of the endangered heelsplitter, and in
the context of North Carolina's water quality standards and the input from DWQ and FWS, I
believe that the Village Council may (and again arguably must) require that the developer
describe what steps it is taking to mitigate impacts to the intermittent stream.
Recommendation
To sum up, given (i) the language of the Subdivision Ordinance, and (ii) the potential risk
of a claim against the Village under the Endangered Species Act, I would recommend that the
Village Council require that the developer submit detailed information concerning the predicted
impact of the development, if any, on the Carolina Heelsplitter or its habitat. This information
would likely include a study by, or similar information from, a biologist on the projected effects
on the tributary and whether those effects would, in turn, impact heelsplitter populations in Six
Mile Creek. If there are any projected impacts, I would recommend that the Village Council
require that the developer describe "all reasonable measures" that it is taking to avoid or
minimize those impacts. The Village Council will then be in a better position to evaluate both
compliance with the Subdivision Ordinance and its risk, if any, under the Endangered Species
Act.
In my view it is appropriate to request site -specific information rather than reflexively
imposing certain buffers. The Village Council may well end up deferring to DWQ and or FWS.
It is alsn no%%ihle; however, that smaller buffers will provide adequate protections for the Village
and its interests. I note that the NCWF decision does not state that the 200/100 foot buffers and
impervious surface threshold are absolutely required, but that they are instead protective steps
that must be followed until the EMC implements site -specific stormwater control measures for
the area. Those measures could include smaller buffers and/or other control mechanisms to
mitigate adverse effects on the heelsplitter. They may also conclude that certain areas do not
need additional protections.3 In the end, therefore, the currently proposed larger buffers might

not prove necessary to protect the endangered species, and I would recommend that the Village
not adopt protective measures without further study and possibly site -specific coordination with
FWS and DWQ.4

know if you need any further analysis or detail.
states that "[n]othing in this Rule shall prevent the Division from taking other actions within its authority to maintain
and restore the quality of these waters." 15A N. C. A. C. 2B .0110.
4 I note that the Endangered Species Act includes a permitting process (under Section 10 of that Act) by which a
"take" is allowed if it is incidental to an otherwise compliant activity. - It might be possible to explore the practicality
of obtaining such a permit, or otherwise exploring a mitigation plan with FWS, if the developer's study were to
demonstrate the potential for an incidental impact to the heelsplitter. I also note that obtaining such buy -in from the
FWS should be to the developer's benefit, in light of the Act's potential penalties.

1. STORM SEWER SYSTEM INFORMATION
1.1 Population Served
The 2000 Census pennanent population for the Village of Marvin is approximately
1,039 persons. There is no reported seasonal population to which could be added to
the overall population. The municipality used the website of the United States
Census Bureau as well as Factfinder.coin to establish as basis for our population
estimates.
1.2 Growth Rate
The population growth rate for the Village of Marvin was based on the relative
change between the US Census population in 1990 and 2000. The Village
incorporated after 1990, so the 1990 Census population is an approximation based
on the census tracts of what became the incorporated area. The estimated
population in 1990 was 239 and 1,039 in 2000. This represents a 334.73%
increase over ten (10) years, with an approximate annual rate 16%.
1.3 Jurisdictional and MS4 Service Areas:
The current jurisdictional and MS4 service areas for the Village of Marvin are
4.88 square miles.
1.4 MS4 Conveyance System: The town currently uses pipes and open channels to
control the flow of water during a storm. However, the coverage of pipes and
open channels are not found throughout the town. The current system of pipes
and channels does perform at an adequate rate but may be negotiated during a
large outfail event. Maintenance is perfonned by NCUO'1' as needed for pipes
and open channels along state -maintained roads within the town Iimits.
1.5 Land Use Composition Estimates:
Residential 98.97%
Commercial
1.03%
Industrial
0.00%
Open Space
0.00%
1.6 Estimate Methodology:
The methodology used to detennine the percentages of land uses in the Village
was to use a GIS and select the parcels of all non-residential uses in the
municipality. We then calculated the total areas of these land uses as a percentage
of the total municipal corporate area. This was not difficult because there are
very few commercial and institutional uses and no protected open space.
Commercial land uses include institutional uses such as churches, schools and
public safety stations. Open space is defined as protected open space only.
Although there are agricultural land uses in the Village, they are not protected and
we counted them as residential. Overall, the municipality is characterized by low
density residential development.

1.7 TMDL Identification:
The Town does not currently discharge into a controlled body of water or
receiving stream as defined by the EPA and/or DENR.

..... v... ....mot.... ., ....... .. .......... .... t.... ......b .. ....... ...� ..... .. .......... ..' � . .. �....
builder contacts will be taken from zoning records of past year. The brochures
and fact sheets have a target audience of any persons which frequent the town
hail, fire department, and school. The web site is targeting residential and
commercial persons within the town and those persons/businesses wishing to
locate within the town and gain a more in-depth understanding of storm water.
The Public Meeting is targeted to gain the majority of the residences and business
within the town to have the opportunity to listen and have their concerns
addressed by the proper officials. School -aged children are the target for all in -
school education programs. However, it is the goal of the programs to encourage
interaction between children and their parents through education.
7.1.3 Target Pollution Sources:
Pollutant sources targeted with the annual mailing are those which
produce trash, chemicals and waste oils, fecal coii form and sediment and erosion
control. The fact sheets and brochures will encompass all pollutant sources; trash,
car washing, disposal of household chemicals and oils, and lawn care products.
Septic systems shall be address as a target pollutant source for all BMPs
mentioned above.
7.1.4 Outreach Program:
The public will be informed at Ieast 25 days prior to the public meeting
and participation in open discussion will be strongly encouraged. The school
programs shall include Adopt -A -Stream, Adopt-A-Greenway/Trail, and stenciling
of storm drains and will be made available to all residents of the town for
extended outreach participation. The annual mailing will present general
information as well as good housekeeping measures that can be performed on a
household level. The stormwater webpage on the town's website will give
contact information in addition to any documents related to stone water. It is the
goal of the town that through the aforementioned BMPs that 80% of the general
public within the town will gain access to storm water information.
7.1.5 Decision Process:
The town decided to use the aforementioned methods because it presents
the most efficient and effective educational outreach. Furthermore, the town
chose the goals to which they felt would gain the broadest audience while
allowing for interaction between the town officials and the general public. The
responsible parties for implementing BMPs 1-5 are the Town Administrator and
Planner. The Town Administrator is the most visible link between the public and
town officials. The planner will provide the pertinent store water information to
be found in the fact sheets, mailers, brochures and web sites. It will be through
the communication and cooperative efforts of the Town Administrator and the
Planner that the school educational programs will be developed and implemented.
6

7.1.6 Evaluation;
The town plans to evaluate the program based on public feedback.
Internally the Planning Board, Town Planner and Administrator will condnet an
annual meeting to discuss if the BMPs are effective and meeting their said goals.
Should any changes be necessary, DWQ will be notified annually.

7.2.3. Participation Program:
7.2.3.1 Adopt -A -Stream:
Will allow persons and homeowners associations to become involved at a
level that they are comfortable with as well as giving the flexibility of
participation.
7.2.3.2 Storm Drain Stenciling:
Allows a more hands on approach but on a smaller, less intense
participation demand than the Adopt -A -Stream and Adopt-A-Greenway
programs.
7.2.3.3 Adopt-A-Greenway/Trail:
Will allow persons to become involved at a level that they are comfortable
with as well as giving the flexibility of participation.
7.2.4 Decision Process:
The town chose the aforementioned participation programs
because it allows the residents to choose their level of involvement and to
what extent they wish to participate. All the programs will allow the
participants to perform their duties without conflicting; with their personal
schedule while achieving the overall goals of the programs. The programs
are proven and effective in neighboring municipalities and the town feels
as though there will be much support among the civic organizations,
homeowners associations, local businesses, the school and individuals.
The education for the benefits of such pro grai- is and their effect on stone
water will be included for the school and town hall through the brochures
and website. The stenciling program is aimed more toward informing the
public that you should think twice before pouring, washing, dumping or
adding anything to our storm drains. The Adopt -A Trail and Adopt -A -
Stream programs are programs the state currently supports and it is the
intention of the town to utilize the current educational materials and
implementation stratet7ies available_
7.2.5 Evaluation:
Evaluation of the programs will come from the feedback of the
Corns-miniixr ;:s well nc vnII-;n(Y the vtTeairig And trails/urer•nutavc fniinrl
within the town. Stenciling of the storm drains will be inspected on an

7.32 3LOMI Sewer System Map.
The town will generate a GIS-based snap as well as a paper copy which
will be maintained by the planning staff and available to the public. The
map shall include at minimum; location of outfalls and their receiving
streams, as well as existing storm water detentions and storm drains. The
E

map will be delineated into quadrants in order to provide a basis for which
annual inspections can be performed.
7.3.3 Regulatory Mechanism:
Years 3 through 5 will have the town developing and implementing a
comprehensive storn water ordinance. The ordinance will make
proV:S:o�,s yr dciiriitlon, deteii%iits of iiiiCit of iiiieit iioli-Storiii water
discharge, inspection of such discharge and elimination of such discharge
through enforcement and penalties.
i.3.4 inforcement.
The ordinance will make provisions for enforcement strategies to be taken
for illicit discharge violations. The strategies may include fines and civil
penalties. The process shall first involve notification to the property
owner allowing ample time to rectify the illicit discharge and concluding
with issuance of notice of violations and fines.
7.3.5 Detection and Elimination:
The town's suggested approach to detect and eliminate illicit discharges
and connections will begin with a primary evaluation of the current
system. Given our storm sewer map will be divided into quadrants, this
will allow for ease of inspections while maintaining a methodical and
organized approach to detection. Upon detection of illicit discharge or
connection, the property owner will be notified or the necessary steps
required remediating the situation. However, the town does not currently
have the staff to perform the inspections effectively. It is the goal of the
town to either hire inspection staff or contract services through an outside
consultant.
7.3.5.1 Procedures for locating Priority Areas:
The division of the storin sewer map will be used to perform field
inspections of more aging systems within the town and will be
denoted on the map. Moreover, on -site inspections may be
conducted in conjunction with the annual Fire Department
Hazardous Materials inspections.
7.3.5.2 Procedures for Tracing the Source:
The town will train employees on illegal discharge and connection
identif cation. Given our limited staff and available resources
tracing the source of illicit discharge and connections will come
from public comments/complaints and random on -site inspections.
7.3.5.3 Procedures for Removing the Source:
Once an illicit discharge or connection has been discovered,
documentation of such violation will begin. The property owner
will be notified of the violation and the steps necessary to remedy
NO

the violation. In case of fecal coli form discharge, the Union
County Health Department shall be notified immediately.
7.3.5.4 Procedures for Evaluation of Plan:
The number of violations reported will be documented
and the
number of those violations remedied will be documented. A
nPrcentage will he rletenninerl of violations
in coinnarison to
remediations.

7.3.7 Other Incidental Non -Store Water Discharges
Fundraising car washes will be allowed but in limited numbers and
suitable places shall be defined. Furthermore, commercial irrigation
systems shall be allowed but must utilize organic fertilizers and pesticides
whenever possible.
7.3.8 Outreach:
It is the main goal of the town to inform all residents of the hazards
associated with illicit discharges and connections. This will be achieved
through the previously discussed educational and involvement programs.
7.3.9 Decision Process:
The program for illicit discharge detection and elimination was chosen as
being the most effective and cost efficient for the town, Through
mapping, development of an ordinance and training of employees, the
town hopes to establish a base for which the detection and elimination can
follow.

7.3.10 Evaluation:
The town plans to perform internal evaluations using violations,
rernediations, public feedback and input as means for success or failure of
the chosen BMPs. Should areas be found to produce less than desirable
results, then changes will be made accordingly and DWQ notified
immediately or any and all changes.
7.4 CONSTRUCTION SITE STORM WATER RUNOFF CONTROL
The town will continue to rely on the North Carolina Department of
Environmental and Natural Resources Sediment and Erosion Control Program
and Division of Water Quality general stone water pennit, in addition to the
North Carolina General Construction Permit for its construction activities.

A notification letter will be mailed out to all builders and developers on
record with the planning department as of the previous two years. The letter will
state the nature of the meeting, date, time, place and need for participation in
order to receive future building pennits.
7.4.7 Decision Process:
The town felt as though this BMP was the most direct and effective
measure to ensure communication of current storm water regulation and
requirements. The planning staff will educate builders/developers not only on the
rule and regulations but educate them on the reason for the importance of
understanding storm water. It is only through education can the town hope to
achieve its goal of reducing and improving the quality of storm water.
7.4.8 Evaluation:
Evaluation of the program will come from a survey that the
builders/developers will complete upon finishing the meeting. Furthermore,
success of the BMP will be determined by the number of violations conducted by
those persons who participated in the pre -construction meeting.
7.5 POST -CONSTRUCTION STORM WATER MANAGEMENT IN
NEW DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT
Program Requirements: At a minimum you must:
Develop, implement, and adopt by ordinance a post -construction storm
water management program to address post -construction runoff from new
development and redevelopment. This shall include redevelopment
projects that disturb greater than or equal to one acre, as well as projects
less than one acre that are a part of a larger common plan of development
or sale, that discharge into the MS4 or into an interconnected MS4.
➢ Develop and implement strategies which include a combination or
structural and/or non-structural best management practices appropriate for
your community;
Begin program imnlernentatinn by May 10 7009-
The program shall require all projects that meet the appropriate size
limitations to apply for a locally issued permit under one of the following
parameters:
13

• Low Density Projects: Projects shall be permitted as low density if
the project meets the following conditions:
1. No more than 2 dwelling units per acre or 24 % built -upon area
(BUA) for all residential and non-residential development;
2. Storm water runoff from the development shall be transported
from the development by vegetated conveyances to the maximum
extent practicable
3. All BUA shall be at a minimum of 30 feet landward of all
perennial and intermittent surface waters
4. The pennit shall require recorded deed restrictions and
protective covenants to ensure that development activities maintain the
development consistent with the approved project plans. The changes
in deed restriction and protective covenants will supercede all existing
restrictions and covenants.
• High Density Projects: Projects exceeding the low density
threshold shall implement stonn water control measures that:
1. Control and treat the difference in stone water runoff volume
leaving the project site between the pre and post development
conditions for the one year 24 hour stone, but no more than 120
hours.
2. All structural stone water treatment systems used to meet the
requirements of the program shall be designed to have an 85%
average annual removal fro Total Suspended Solids (TSS).
3. All BUA shall be at a minimum of 30 feet landward of all
perennial and intermittent surface waters.
4. The permit shall require recorded deed restrictions and
protective covenants to ensure that development activities maintain
the development consistent with the approved project plans. The
changes in deed restrictions and protective covenants will
supercede all existing restrictions and covenants.
Ensure adequate long-term operation and maintenance by the owner of
BMPs. The program shall include requirements that the owner of a
permitted structural BMP, submit annually to the local program, a
maintenance inspection report on each structural BMP. The inspection
shall be completed by a qualified professional; and
A program shall be developed to control, to the maximum extent
practicable, the sources,of fecal coli form.

Subject: Post -Construction Requirements
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 11 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 1I 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 Village of Marvin was notified in
writing on November 6, 2002, that it had been identified as being located within a census
designated urbanized area. As a regulated public entity, the Village of Marvin was required to:
1. File a certification that the Village of Marvin 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 I1 Stormwater Discharge Permit.

The Village of Marvin developed a written stormwater management program and on May
7, 2004, submitted the stormwater management plan along with an application for a Phase I1
Stormwater Discharge Permit. On September 12, 2005 the Village of Marvin was issued an
NPDES Phase II Stormwater Permit. Under the conditions of their permit, the Village of Marvin
was required to develop and implement a Stormwater Management Plan that addresses the
following six minimum control measures:
1. Public Education and Outreach on Stormwater Impacts
2. Public Involvement/Participation
3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
4. Construction Site Runoff Control
5. Post -Construction Stormwater Management in New Development and Redevelopment
6. Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
On August 10, 2007, the Village of Marvin requested that Permit No. NCS000486 be
rescinded granting them an exemption from the requirements associated with Phase II of the
NPDES. Submission of Form SWU-266, Stormwater Non-ownership/Non-operation Certification
received on August 13, 2007, constitutes notice that the Village of Marvin does not own or
operate a small MS4 as defined in 40 CFR 122. By signing and submitting Form SWU-266, the
signing official certified that the Village of Marvin does not currently own or operate a municipal
separate storm sewer system (MS4) as defined in 40 CFR 122 and therefore,is not currently
subject to the Phase Ii Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) NPDES program.
However, new development within the Village of Marvin is subject to the Post -
construction requirements of Session Law 2006-246 as administered by the Division of Water
Quality. Further, within the Six Mile Creek watershed, new development activities are subject to
more stringent requirements as a result of an Administrative Law Judge ruling and EMC
decisions relating to the protection of the Carolina Heelsplitter. These requirements include 100-
foot and 200-foot buffers (for intermittent and perennial streams, respectively) and a low -density
threshold of 10 percent BUA.
On February 22, 2007, biologist with the Catena Group and the U.S. Fish and wildlife
recorded the presence of the Carolina heelsplitter, a federally -listed threatened and endangered
species, in the Sixmile Creek, along the Mecklenburg -Union County ime, in the vicinity of
Marvin Road (SR 3635 in Mecklenburg and SR 1312 in Union County).
Certain waters provide 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 and
subsequent modifications. Maintenance and recovery of the water quality conditions, required to
sustain and recover federally listed threatened and endangered aquatic animal species, contributes
to the support and maintenance of a balanced and indigenous community of aquatic organisms
and thereby protects the biological integrity of the waters. As such, new development shall
incorporate site -specific stormwater management requirements for streams supporting federally -
listed threatened and endangered species required by site -specific management plans and
schedules developed under provisions of 15A NCAC 2B .0110.

Six Mile Creek and Marvin Branch are perennial streams except near the headwaters.
McBride Branch is a perennial stream. The DWQ Mooresville Regional Office will make the
final determination as to where Six Mile Creek and Marvin Branch are perennial streams or
intermittent. In addition, Six Mile Creek is impaired from its headwaters to the state line and has
been placed on the list of North Carolina's impaired waters under Section 303(d) of the Clean
Water Act.

POST -CONSTRUCTION STORMWATER MANAGEMENT MEASURES
FOR STREAMS SUPPORTING FEDERALLY -LISTED TIiREATENED AND
ENDANGERED AQUATIC ANIMAL SPECIES
Overview
Certain waters provide 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 and

The permittee shall incorporate site -specific stormwater management requirements for streams
supporting federally -listed threatened and endangered aquatic animal species required by site -
specific management plans and schedules developed under provisions of 15A NCAC 2B .0110.
This document was compiled by DWQ Staff, in response to an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ)
Decision in the Case of NC Wildlife Federation and the Central Piedmont Group of the NC Sierra
Club vs. the NC Division of Water Quality, as a means to provide additional clarifying
information and technical support regarding post -construction stormwater management measures
for streams supporting federally -listed threatened and endangered aquatic animal species,
specifically the federally -listed Carolina Heelsplitter where no site -specific management plan has
been developed.
Post -Construction Runoff Controls
Objectives
The objectives for post -construction site runoff controls is to:
Manaor. etnrmwatPr ninnff frnm nPw rievplonment that disturb.q an acre or more
of land surface, including projects less than an acre that are part of a larger
common plan of development or sale.
Provide a mechanism to require long-term operation and maintenance of Best
Management Practices (BMPs).
Ensure controls are in place to minimize water quality impacts.
BMPs for Post -Construction Site Runoff Controls
For streams supporting federally -listed threatened and endangered species new development shall
maintain two -hundred foot undisturbed buffers on perennial streams; one hundred foot
undisturbed buffers on intermittent streams and a ten percent impervious surface threshold for
engineered stormwater management throughout the watershed until a comprehensive site specific
management plan under provisions of 15A NCAC 2B A 110 is adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission (EMC).

A perennial and intermittent stream shall be present if the feature is shown on either the most
recent version of the soil survey map prepared by the Natural Resources Conservation Service of
the United States Department of Agriculture or the most recent version of the 1:24,000 scale (7.5

Relief from this requirement may be allowed when surface waters are not present in accordance
with the provisions of 15A NCAC 02B .0233(3)(a).
Intermittent Streams
An intermittent stream is defined as "a stream that flows only during wet periods of the
year (30% - 90% of the time) and flows in a continuous well-defined channel." During
L y pert ioLL ds, estleGlaily 111 JLLIIliLICI iitUllLns, lTklermlilell[ streams may g0 ❑OWn t0 a trickle
of water and make it appear dry, when in fact there is water flowing through the stream
bottom or "substrate". This is usually caused by the seasonal changes of the local soil
water table or during periods of long term drought.
Perennial Streams
Perennial streams are streams "that flow throughout a majority of the year (greater than
90% of the time) and flow in a well-defined channel." However, perennial streams can
still `dry up', particularly during extended periods of drought. Therefore when classifying
stream type, it is important to check appropriate map resources and seek assistance from
a professional who has been trained in stream determination.
US Geological Survey (USGS) Topographic ("topo") maps at the 1:24000 scale, also
known as the "7%z Minute Series". An on-line version of USGS 1:24000 topographic
maps can be viewed at To oZone.com [Note: When you access Topozone's NC map
products, use the 1:25000 (metric) icon; these maps are actually 1:24000 scale. The
USGS has not yet completed conversion of NC maps to the metric scale]. These USGS
maps (1:24000, T/z Minute Series) can also be obtained through the North Carolina
Geological Sur.,e .
Impervious surfaces, ditches, pipes, roads, and utility lines (sewer, water, gas, transmission lines,
etc.) and other infrastructures that require maintained cleared right -or -way and/or'affect the
functions and values of undisturbed buffers should not occur within the buffers. Any unavoidable
crossings of the buffers should be a narrow as possible and should be perpendicular to the buffers
and stream channel. All stromwater outlets should drain through vegetated upland area prior to
reaching any stream or wetland area.

A project may be permitted as a low -density project if it meets the following requirements:
All built upon area shall be limited to 10 percent.
Use of vegetated conveyances to the maximum extent- practicable;
Deed restrictions and protective covenants are required by the development to ensure that
subsequent development activities maintain the development consistent with the
approved plans.
A project exceeding 10 percent built upon area shal I be permitted as a high -density project if it
meets the following requirements:
• The stormwater control measures must control and treat the difference between the pre -
development and post -development conditions for the 1-year 24-hour storm.
• Runoff volume drawdown time must be a minimum of 48 hours, but not more than 120
hours;
• All structural stormwater treatment systems must be designed to achieve 85% average
annual removal of total suspended solids;
• Stormwater management measures must comply with the General Engineering Design

Stormwater Discharge Permit. On September 12, 2005 the Village of Marvin was issued an
NPDES Phase II Stormwater Permit. Under the conditions of their permit, the Village of Marvin
was required to develop and implement a Stormwater Management Plan that addresses the
following six minimum control measures:
1. Public Education and Outreach on Stormwater Impacts
2. Public Involvement/Participation
3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
4. Construction Site Runoff Control
5. Post -Construction Stormwater Management in New Development and Redevelopment
6. Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
On August 10, 2007, the Village of Marvin requested that Permit No. NCS000486 be rescinded
granting them an exemption from the requirements associated with Phase II of the NPDES.
Submission of Form SWU-266, Stormwater Nan-ownership/Non-operation Certification received
on August 13, 2007, constitutes notice that the Village of Marvin does not own or operate a small
MS4 as defined in 40 CFR 122. By signing and submitting Form SWU-266, the signing official
certified that the Village of Marvin does not currently own or operate a municipal separate storm
sewer system (MS4) as defined in 40 CFR 122 and therefore is not currently subject to the Phase.
II Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) NI)DES program.

However, new development within the Village of Marvin is subject to the Post -construction
requirements of Session Law 2006-246 as administered by the Division of Water Quality.
Further, within the Six Mile Creek watershed, new development activities are subject to more
stringent requirements as a result of an Administrative Law Judge ruling and EMC decisions
relating to the protection of the Carolina Heelsplitter. These requirements include 100-foot and
200-foot buffers (for intermittent and perennial streams, respectively) and a low -density threshold
of 10 percent BUA.
Six Mile Creek, McBride Branch and Marvin Branch
A perennial and intermittent stream shall be present if the feature is shown on either the most
recent version of the soil survey map prepared by the Natural Resources Conservation Service of
the United States Department of Agriculture or the most recent version of the 1:24,000 scale (7.5
minute) quadrangle topographic maps prepared by the United States Geologic Survey (USGS). A
perennial is indicated with a solid blue line and intermittent stream with a dashed blue line. Relief
from this requirement may be allowed when surface waters are not present in accordance with the
provisions of 15A NCAC 02B .0233(3)(a).
Six Mile Creek and Marvin Branch are perennial streams except near the headwaters. McBride
Branch is a perennial stream. The DWQ Mooresville Regional Office will make the final
determination as to where Six Mile Creek and Marvin Branch are perennial streams or
intermittent.
In addition, Six Mile Creek is impaired from its headwaters to the state line and has been placed
on the list of North Carolina's impaired waters under Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act.
For streams supporting federally -listed threatened and endangered aquatic animal species new
development shall maintain two -hundred foot undisturbed buffers on perennial streams; one
hundred foot undisturbed buffers on intermittent streams and a ten percent impervious surface
threshold for engineered stormwater management throughout the watershed, including tributaries,
such as McBride Branch, until a comprehensive site specific management plan under provisions
of 15A NCAC 28..0110 is adopted by the Environmental Management Commission (EMC).
Carolina Heelsplitter
On February 22, 2007, biologist with the Catena Group and the U.S. Fish and wildlife recorded
the presence of the Carolina heelsplitter, a federally -listed threatened and endangered species, in
the Sixmile Creek, along the Mecklenburg -Union County line, in the vicinity of Marvin Road (SR
'3635 in Mecklenburg and SR 1312 in Union County).

Subject: Post -Construction Requirements
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 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
stormwater discharges that have the greatest likelihood of causing continued environmental
degradation.
The NPDES Stormwater Phase I1 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 Village of Marvin was notified in
writing on November 6, 2002, that it had been identified as being located within a -census
designated urbanized area. As a regulated public entity, the Village of Marvin was required to:

POST -CONSTRUCTION STORMWATER. MANAGEMENT MEASURES
FOR STREAMS SUPPORTING FEDERALLY -LISTED THREATENED AND
ENDANGERED AQUATIC ANIMAL SPECIES
Overview
Certain waters provide critical habitat for federally -listed aquatic animal species that are listed as
threatened or endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or Naiionai Marine Fisheries
Service under the provisions of the Endangered Species Act, 16 U.S.C. 1531-1544 and
subsequent modifications. Maintenance and recovery of the water quality conditions, required to
sustain and recover federally listed threatened and endangered aquatic animal species, contributes
to the support and maintenance of a balanced and indigenous community of aquatic organisms
and -thereby protects the biological integrity of the waters.
The permittee shall incorporate site -specific stormwater management requirements for streams
supporting federally -listed threatened and endangered aquatic animal species required by site -
specific management plans and schedules developed under provisions of 15A NCAC 2B .0110.
This document was compiled by DWQ Staff, in response to an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ)
Decision in the Case of NC Wildlife Federation and.the Central Piedmont Group of the NC Sierra
Club vs. the NC Division of Water Quality, as a means to provide additional clarifying
information and technical support regarding post -construction stormwater management measures
for streams supporting federally -listed threatened and endangered aquatic animal species,
specifically the federally -listed Carolina Heelsplitter where no site -specific management plan has
been developed.
Post -Construction Runoff Controls
Objectives
The objectives for post -construction site runoff controls is to:
• Manage stormwater runoff from new development that disturbs an acre or more
of land surface, including projects less than an acre that are part of a larger
common plan of development or sale.
• Provide a mechanism to require long-term operation and maintenance of Best
Management Practices (BMPs).
• Ensure controls are in place to minimize water quality impacts.
BMPs for Post -Construction Site Runoff Controls
For streams supporting federally -listed threatened and endangered species new development shall
maintain two -hundred foot undisturbed buffers on perennial streams; one hundred foot
undisturbed buffers on intcrmittent streams and a ten percent impervious surface threshold for
engineered stormwater management throughout the watershed until a comprehensive site specific
management plan under provisions of 15A NCAC 213 .0110 is adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission (EMC).

A perennial and intermittent stream shall be present if the feature is shown on either the most
recent version of the soil survey map prepared by the Natural Resources Conservation Service of
the United States Department of Agriculture or the most recent version of the 1:24,000 scale (7.5
minute) quadrangle topographic maps prepared by the United States Geologic Survey (USGS).
Relief from this requirement may be allowed when surface waters are not present in accordance
with the provisions of I5A NCAC 02B .0233(3)(a).
intermittent Streams
An intermittent stream is defined as "a stream that flows only during wet periods of the
year (30% - 90% of the time) and flows in a continuous well-defined channel." During
dry periods, especially in summer months, intermittent streams may go down to a trickle
of water and make it appear dry, when in fact there is water flowing through the stream
bottom or "substrate". This is usually caused by the seasonal changes of the local soil
water table or during periods of long term drought.
Perennial Streams
Perennial streams are streams "that flow throughout a majority of the year (greater than
90% of the time) and flow in a well-defined channel." However, perennial streams can
still `dry up', particularly during extended periods of drought. Therefore when classifying
stream type, it is important to check appropriate map resources and seek assistance from
a professional who has been trained in stream determination.
US Geological Survey (USGS) Topographic ("topo") maps at the 1:24000 scale, also
known as the "7'/z Minute Series". An on-line version of USGS 1:24000 topographic
maps can be viewed at TopoZone.com [Note: When you access Topozone's NC map
products, use the 1 :25000 (metric) icon; these maps are actually 1:24000 scale. The
USGS has not yet completed conversion of NC maps to the metric scale). These USGS
maps (1:24000, 7% Minute Series) can also be obtained through the North Carolina
Geological Survey.
Impervious surfaces, ditches, pipes, roads, and utility lines (sewer, water, gas, transmission lines,
etc.) and other infrastructures that require maintained cleared right -or -way and/or affect the
functions and values of undisturbed buffers should not occur within the buffers. Any unavoidable
crossings of the buffers should be a narrow as possible and should he nemendir_ninr to the buffers
and stream channel. All stromwater outlets should drain through vegetated upland area prior to
reaching any stream or wetland area.

A project may be permitted as a low -density project if it meets the following requirements:
All built upon area shall be limited to 10 percent.
Use of vegetated conveyances to the maximum extent practicable;
Deed restrictions and protective covenants are required by the development to ensure that
subsequent development activities maintain the development consistent with the
approved plans.
A project exceeding 10 percent built upon area shall be permitted as a high -density project if it
meets the following requirements:
• The stormwater control measures must control and treat the difference between the pre -
development and post -development conditions for the 1-year 24-hour storm.
• Runoff volume drawdown time must be a minimum of 48 hours, but not more than 120
hours;
• All structural stormwater treatment systems must be designed to achieve 85% average
annual removal of total suspended solids;
• Stormwater management measures must comply with the General Engineering Design
Criteria For All Projects requirements listed in 15A NCAC 2H .1008(c) or a locally
approved stormwater management manual and
• Deed restrictions and protective covenants are required by the development to ensure that
subsequent development activities maintain the development consistent with the
approved plans.
• Provide a mechanism to renuire long-term operation and maintenance of Rest
Management Practices

1. STORM SEWER SYSTEM INFORMATION
1.1 Population Served
The 2000 Census permanent population for the Village of Marvin is approximately
1,039 persons. There is no reported seasonal population to which could be added to
the overall population. The municipality used the website of the United States
Census Bureau as well as Factfinder.com to establish as basis for our population
estimates.
12 Growth Rate
The population growth rate for the Village of Marvin was based on the relative
change between the US Census population in 1990 and 2000. The Village
incorporated after 1990, so the 1990 Census population is an approximation based
nn tllp rc+ncllr traet� of .:that became the;_ tnU area 'I I LU—nate.4
V++ V V..++JNJ .......porUILU area. l ll., es'lll lCl LL.0
population in 1990 was 239 and 1,039 in 2000. This represents a 334.73%
increase over ten (10) years, with an approximate annual rate 16%.
1 ..J JU 11JU1l� L1VIlR1 CLIIU SVIJY JGl Vlcl'� lit caj:
The current jurisdictional and MS4 service areas for the Village of Marvin are
4.88 square miles.
i.4 iviS4 Coriveyancc System: The town currenily uses pipes and open channels to
control the flow of water during a stone. However, the coverage of pipes and
open channels are not found throughout the town. The current system of pipes
and channels does perforn at an adequate rate but may be negotiated during a
large outfall event. Maintenance is performed by NCDOT as needed for pipes
and open channels along state -maintained roads within the town limits.
1.5 Land Use Composition Estimates:
Residential 98.97%
Commercial 1.03%
Industrial 0.00%
Open Space 0.00%
1.6 Estimate Methodology:
The methodology used to determine the percentages of land uses in the Village
was to use a GIS and select the parcels of all non-residential uses in the
municipality. We then calculated the total areas of these land uses as a percentage
of the total municipal corporate area. This was not difficult because there are
very few commercial and institutional uses and no protected open space.
Commercial land uses include institutional uses such as churches, schools and
public safety stations. Open space is defined as protected open space only.
Although there are agricultural land uses in the Village, they are not protected and
we counted them as residential. Overall, the municipality is characterized by low
density residential development.

1.7 TMDL Identification:
The Town does not currently discharge into a controlled body of water or
receiving stream as defined by the EPA and/or DENR.

7.1.2 Target Audience:
The target audiences for the annual mailings are all property owners and
all developers and builders operating within the town limits. Developers and
builder contacts will be taken from zoning records of past year. The brochures
and fact shects have a target audience of any persons which frequent the town
hall, fire department, and school. The web site is targeting residential and
commercial persons within the town and those nersons/businesses wishinu to
locate within the town and gain a more in-depth understanding of storm water.
The Public Meeting is targeted to gain the majority of the residences and business
within the town to have the opportunity to listen and have their concerns
addressed by the proper officials. School -aged children are the target for all in -
school education programs. However, it is the goal of the programs to encourage
interaction between children and their parents through education.
7.1.3 Target Pollution Sources:
Pollutant sources targeted with the annual mailing are those which
produce trash, chemicals and waste oils, fecal coli form and sediment and erosion
control. The fact sheets and brochures will encompass all pollutant sources; trash,
car washing, disposal of household chemicals and oils, and lawn care products.
Septic systems shall be address as a target pollutant source for all BMPs
mentioned above.
VULIGAGII I"IU2�'IQlll. '
The public will be informed at least 25 days prior to the public meeting
and participation in open discussion will be strongly encouraged. The school
programs shall include Adopt -A -Stream, Adapt-A-Creenway/Trail, and stenciling
of storm drains and will be made available to all residents of the town for
extended outreach participation. The annual mailing will present general
information as well as good housekeeping measures that can be performed on a
household level. The stornwater webpage on the town's website will give
contact information in addition to any documents related to storm water. It is the
goal of the town that through the aforementioned BMPs that 80% of the general
public within the town will gain access to storm water information.
7.1.5 Decision Process:
The town decided to use the aforementioned methods because it presents
the most efficient and effective educational outreach. Furthermore, the town
chose the goals to which they felt would gain the broadest audience while
allowing for interaction between the town officials and the general public. The
responsible parties for implementing BMPs 1-5 are the Town Administrator and
Planner. The Town Administrator is the most visible link between the public and
town officials. The planner will provide the pertinent store water information to
be found in the fact sheets, mailers, brochures and web sites. It will be through
the communication and cooperative efforts of the Town Administrator and the
Planner that the school educational programs will be developed and implemented,
6

7.1.6 Evaluation:
The town plans to evaluate the program based on public feedback.
Internally the Planning Board, Town Planner and Administrator will conduct an
annual meeting to discuss if the BMPs are effective and meeting their said goals.
Should any changes be necessary, DWQ will be notified annually.

7.2.3. Participation Program:
7.2.3.1 Adopt -A -Stream:
Will allow persons and homeowners associations to become involved at a
level that they are comfortable with as well as giving the flexibility of
participation.
7.2.3.2 Storm Drain Stenciling:
Allows a more hands on approach but on a smaller, less intense
participation demand than the Adopt -A -Stream and Adopt-A-Greenway
programs.
7.2.3.3 Adopt-A-Greenway/Trail:
Will aMnxar nrrrc!nnc to h,-f-ri r- in Xrnl :'ed at a le;':'1 that 111e"t"bl .
with as well as giving the flexibility of participation.
7.2.4 Decision Process:
The town chose the aforementioned participation programs
because it allows the residents to choose their level of involvement and to
what extent they wish to participate. All the programs will allow the
participants to perform their duties without conflicting with their personal
schedule while achieving the overall goals of the programs. The programs
are proven and effective in neighboring municipalities and the town feels
as though there will be much support among the civic organizations,
homeowners associations, local businesses, the school and individuals.
The education for the benefits of such programs and their effect on storm
water will be included for the school and town hall through the brochures
and website. The stenciling program is aimed more toward informing the
public that you should think twice before pouring, washing, dumping or
adding anything to our storn drains. The Adopt -A Trail and Adopt -A -
Stream programs are programs the state currently supports and it is the
intention of the town to utilize the current educational materials and
implementation strategies available.
7.2.5 Evaluation:
Evaluation of the programs will come from the feedback of the
community as well asmalking the streams and trails/greenways found
within the town. Stenciling of the store drains will be inspected on an
annual basis and maintenance done as necessary. A section will be
included on the town's website to allow for comments and suggestions
regarding the programs. The degree of pride our residents display in our
town will be evident through their participation in maintaining the
necessary natural controls for storm water.

will be inaintained by the planning staff and available to the public. The
map shall include at minimum; location of outfalls and their receiving
streams, as well as existing storm water detentions and storm drains. The
0

map will be delineated into quadrants in order to provide a basis for which
annual inspections can be performed.
7.3.3 Regulatory Mechanism:
Years 3 through 5 will have the town developing and implementing a
comprehensive stone water ordinance. The ordinance will make
provisions for definition, deterrents of illicit of illicit non -stone water
discharge, inspection of such discharge and elimination of'such discharge
through enforcement and penalties.
7.3.4 Enforcement:
The ordinance will make provisions for enforcement strategies to be taken
for illicit discharge violations. The strategies may include lines and civil
penalties. The process shall first involve notification to the property

with issuance of notice of violations and fines.
7.3.5 Detection and Elimination:
xxw ivvJn J sllggeJllU approach 10 ucictt and e1liniilale H icu discharges
and connections will begin with a primary evaluation of the current
system, Given our storm sewer map will be divided into quadrants, this
will allow for ease of inspections while maintaining a methodical and
__1 _i. . rr t r•n• r• r
organized approach 'to dertection. upon detection or illicit discharge or
connection, the property owner will be notified or the necessary steps
required remediating the situation. However, the town does not currently
have the staff to perform the inspections effectively. It is the goal of the
town to either hire inspection staff or contract services through an outside
consultant.
7.3.5.1 Procedures for locating Priority Areas:
The division of the storm sewer rnap will be used to perform field
inspections of more aging systems within the town and will be
denoted on the map. Moreover, on -site inspections may be
conducted in conjunction with the annual Fire Department
Hazardous Materials inspections.
7.3.5.2 Procedures for Tracing the Source:
The town will train employees on illegal discharge and connection
identification. Given our limited staff and available resources
tracing the source of illicit discharge and connections will come
from public comments/complaints and random on -site inspections.
7.3.5.3 Procedures for Removing the Source:
Once an illicit discharge or connection has been discovered,
documentation of such violation will begin. The property owner
will be notified of the violation and the steps necessary to remedy
10

whenever possible.
7.3.8 Outreach:
It is the main goal of the town to inform all residents of the hazards
associated with illicit discharges and connections. This will be achieved
through the previously discussed educational and involvement programs.
7.3.9 Decision Process:
The program for illicit discharge detection and elimination was chosen as
being the most effective_ and cost efficient for the town. Through
mapping, development of an ordinance and training of employees, the
town hopes to establish a base for which the detection and elimination can
follow.

7.3.10 Evaluation:
The town plans to perform internal evaluations using violations,
remediations, public feedback and input as means for success or failure of
the chosen BMPs. Should areas be found to produce less than desirable
results, then changes will be made accordingly and DWQ notified
immediately or any and all changes.

record with the planning department as of the previous two years. The letter will
state the nature of the meeting, date, time, place and need for participation in
order to receive future building permits.
The town felt as though this BMP was the most direct and effective
measure to ensure communication of current storm water regulation and
requirements. The planning staff will educate builders/developers not only on the
rule and regulations but educate them; on the reason iir the h-nportance of
understanding storm water. It is only through education can the town hope to
achieve its goal of reducing and improving the quality of storm water.
" A n r
I.4.�S Evaluation.
Evaluation of the program will come from a survey that the
builders/developers will complete upon finishing the meeting. Furthermore,
success of the BM will be detennined by the number of violations conducted by
those persons who participated in the pre -construction meeting.

1. STOR117 SEWER SYSTEM'[ INFOR117ATION
1.1 Population Served
The 2000 Census permanent population for the Village of Marvin is approximately
1,039 persons. There is no reported seasonal population to which could be added to
the overall population. The municipality used the website of the United States
Census Bureau as well as Factfinder.com to establish as basis for our population
estimates.
1.2 Growth Rate
The population growth rate for the Village of Marvin was based on the relative
change between the US Census population in 1990 and 2000. The Village
incorporated after 1990, so the 1990 Census population is an approximation based
on the census tracts of what became the incorporated area. The estimated
population in 1990 was 239 and 1,039 in 2000. This represents a 334.73%
increase over ten (10) years, with an approximate annual rate 16%.
1.3 Jurisdictional and MS4.Service Areas:
The current jurisdictional and MS4 service areas for the Village of Marvin are
4.88 square miles.
1.4 MS4 Conveyance System: The town currently uses pipes and open channels to
control the flow of water during a storm. However, the coverage of pipes and
open channels are not found throughout the town. The current system of pipes
and channels does perform at an adequate rate but may be negotiated during a
large outfall event. Maintenance is performed by NCDOT as needed for pipes
and open channels along state -maintained roads within the town limits.
l .5 Land Use Composition Estimates:
Residential 98.97%
Commercial 1.03%
Industrial 0.00%
Open Space 0.00%
1.6 Estimate Methodology:
The methodology used to determine the percentages of land uses in the Village
was to use a GIS and select the parcels of all non-residential uses in the
municipality. We then calculated the total areas of these land uses as a percentage
of the total municipal corporate area. This was not difficult because there are
very few commercial and institutional uses and no protected open space.
Commercial Iand uses include institutional uses such as churches, schools and
public safety stations. Open space is defined as protected open space only.
Although there are agricultural land uses in the Village, they are not protected and
we counted theirs as residential. Overall, the municipality is characterized by low
density residential development.

1.7 TMDL Identification:
The Town does not currently discharge into a controlled body of water or
receiving stream as defined by the EPA and/or DENR.

commercial persons within the town and those personstbusinesses wishing to
locate within the town and gain a more in-depth understanding of storm water.
The Public Meeting is targeted to gain the majority of the residences and business
within the town to have the opportunity to listen and have their concerns
addressed by the proper officials. School -aged children are the target for all in -
school education programs. However, it is the goal of the programs to encourage
interaction between children and their parents through education.
7.1.3 Target Pollution Sources:
Pollutant sources targeted with the annual mailing are those which
produce trash, chemicals and waste oils, fecal soli form and sediment and erosion.
control. The fact sheets and brochures will encompass all pollutant sources; trash,
car washing, disposal of household chemicals and oils, and lawn care products.
Septic systems shall be address as a target pollutant source for all BMPs
mentioned above.
7.1.4 Outreach Prograrn:
The public will be informed at least 25 days prior to the public meeting
and participation in open discussion will be strongly encouraged. The school
programs shall include Adopt -A -Stream, Adopt-A-Greenway/Trail, and stenciling
of stonn drains and will be made available to all residents of the town for
extended outreach participation. The annual mailing will present general
information as well as good housekeeping measures that can be performed on a
household level. The stonnwater webpage on the town's website will give
contact information in addition to any documents related to storm water. It is the
goal of the town that through the aforementioned BMPs that 80% of the general
public within the town will gain access to stone water information.
7.1.5 Decision Process:
The town decided to use the aforementioned methods because it presents
the most efficient and effective educational outreach. Furthermore, the town
chase the goals to which they felt would gain the broadest audience while
allowing for interaction between the town officials and the general public. The
responsible parties for implementing BMPs 1-5 are the Town Administrator and
Planner. The Town Administrator is the most visible link between the public and
town officials. The planner will provide the pertinent storm water information to
be found in the fact sheets, mailers, brochures and web sites. It will be through
the communication and cooperative efforts of the Town Administrator and the
Planner that the school educational programs will be developed and implemented.

7.2.3.1 Adopt -A -Stream:
Will allow persons and homeowners associations to become involved at a
level that they are comfortable with as well as giving the flexibility of
participation.
7.2.3.2 Storm Drain Stenciling:
Allows a more hands on approach but on a smaller, less intense
participation demand than the Adopt-A-Strcam and Adopt-A-Greenway
programs.
7.2.3.3 Adopt-A-Greenway/Trail:
Will allow persons to become involved at a level that they are comfortable
with as well as giving the flexibility of participation.
7.2.4 Decision Process:
The town chose the aforementioned participation programs
because it allows the residents to choose their level of involvement and to
what extent they wish to participate. All the programs will allow the
participants to perform their duties without conflicting with their personal
schedule while achieving the overall goals of the programs. The programs
are proven and effective in neighboring municipalities and the town feels
as though there will be much support among the civic organizations,
homeowners associations, local businesses, the school and individuals.
The education for the benefits of such prograrris and their effect on stonn
water will be included for the school and town hall through the brochures
and website. The stenciling program is aimed more toward informing the
public that you should think twice before pouring, washing, dumping or
adding anything to our stone drains. The Adopt -A Trail and Adopt -A -
Stream programs are programs the state. currently supports and it is the
intention of the town to utilize the current educational materials and
implementation strategies available.
7.2.5 Evaluation:
Evaluation of the programs will come from the feedback of the
community as well asmalking the streams and trails/greenways found
within the town. Stenciling of the storm drains will be inspected on an
annual basis and maintenance done as necessary. A section will be
included on the town's website to allow for comments and suggestions
regarding the programs. The degree of pride our residents display in our
town will be evident through their participation in maintaining the
necessary natural controls for storm water.

The ordinance will make provisions for enforcement strategies to be taken
for illicit discharge violations. The strategies may include fines and civil
penalties. The process shall first involve notification to the property
owner allowing ample time to rectify the illicit discharge and concluding
with issuance of notice of violations and fines.
7.3.5 Detection and Elimination:
The town's suggested approach to detect and eliminate illicit discharges
and connections will begin with a primary evaluation of the current
system. Given our stone sewer rnap will be divided into quadrants, this
will allow for case of inspections while maintaining a methodical and
organized approach to detection. Upon detection of illicit discharge or
connection, the property owner will be notified or the necessary steps
required remcdiating the situation. However, the town does not currently
have the staff to perform the inspections effectively. It is the goal of the
town to either hire inspection staff or contract services through an outside
consultant.
7.3.5.1 Procedures for locating Priority Areas:
The division of the storm sewer map will be used to perform field
inspections of more aging systems within the town and will be
denoted on the Snap. Moreover, on -site inspections may be
conducted in conjunction with the annual Fire Department
Hazardous Materials inspections.
7.3.5.2 Procedures for Tracing the Source:
The town will train employees on illegal discharge and connection
identification. Given our limited staff and available resources
tracing the source of illicit discharge and connections will come
from public cominents/complaitits and random on -site inspections.
7.3.5.3 Procedures for Removing the Source:
Once an illicit discharge or connection has been discovered,
.documentation of such violation will begin. The property owner
will be notified of the violation and the steps necessary to remedy
E

the violation. In case of fecal coli fonn discharge, the Union
County Health Department shall be notified immediately.
7.3.5.4 Procedures for Evaluation of Plan:
The number of violations reported will be documented
and the
number of those violations remedied will be
documented. A
nercentaL,e will he determined of violations in
co nnarison to
rernediations.

7.3.8 Outreach:
It is the main goal of the town to inform all residents of the hazards
associated with illicit discharges and connections. This will be achieved
through the previously discussed educational and involvement programs.
7.3.9 Decision Process:
The program for illicit discharge detection and elimination was chosen as
being the most effective and cost efficient for the town, Through
mapping, development of an ordinance and training of employees, the
town hopes to establish a base for which the detection and elimination can
follow.

7.4.2 Regulatory Mechanism:
A pre -construction meeting will be mandatory for all builders and
developers to complete annually. The meeting will inform builder and developers
of current stonm water regulations, requirements, enforcement and penalties that
shall ensue for violations. Each builder and developer shall sign a document to be
drawn up by the town's attorney stating that each builder/developer was made
aware of any and all storm water regulations and intends to comply with all. The
recorded document will be kept with the Town Administrator and the Planning
Department.
7.4.3 Plan Reviews: All plans will be reviewed by the planner as well as the
contract engineer. All comments shall be returned to the builder/developer for
amendments to be made accordingly before resubinittal.
7.4.4 Enforcement:
Enforcement shall come through random inspections to be performed by
either contract consultants or future hired staff. Penalties shall range fi-om fines

order to receive future building permits.
7.4.7 Decision Process.
The town felt as though this BMP was the most direct and effective
measure to ensure communication of current stone water regulation and
requirements. The planning staff will educate builders/developers not only on the
rule and regulations but educate them on the reason for the importance of
understanding storm water. It is only through education can the town hope to
achieve its goal of reducing and improving the quality of storm water.
7.4.8 Evaluation:
Evaluation of the program will come from a survey that the
builders/developers will complete upon finishing the meeting. Furthermore,
success of the BMP will be detennined by the number of violations conducted by
those persons who participated in the pre -construction meeting.

Additional Information Request
Dear Mr. Suhre:
After a review of your permit application materials, I found that with changes to
Stormwater Management Plan, there is sufficient content to continue with the review and
drafting of your permit.
The Village of Marvin should provide opportunities for the public, including
major economic and ethnic groups, to participate in program development and
implementation. In addition to the volunteer community involvement programs proposed
in your Stormwater Management Plan - Public Involvement and Participation Program,
YOU must develop a citizens' group(s) for input on stormwater issues and the stormwater
program.
The Village of Marvin should establish and publicize a reporting mechanism for the
public to report illicit discharges.
Under Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping For Municipal Operations, the
Village of Marvin should develop an inspection, operation and maintenance program for the
municipally owned or operated MS4 system and associated structural BMPs. Evaluate the
sources, document deficiencies, plan corrective actions, and document the accomplishment of
corrective actions.
Enclosed for your review and comment is a preliminary draft Phase II NPDES
Stormwater Permit for the Village of Marvin. We believe that this draft permit will provide your
community with the flexibility vital for your community, while at the same time safeguarding
and protecting our natural environment for future generations of' North Carolinians.

washing, flows from riparian jkikats and wetlands, dechlorinated swimming pool
discharges, and street wash water (discharges or flows from fire fighting activities are
excluded from the definition of illicit discharge and only need to be addressed where they
are identified as significant sources of pollutants to waters of the United States).
Non-structural BMP
Non-structural BMPs are preventive actions that involve management and source controls
such as: (I) 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.

THE VILLAGE OF MARVIN
WILLIAM BAUGHMAN, MAYOR
P.O. BOX 399
WAXHAW, NC 28173
Subject: NPDES Phase Il Stormwater Program
2000 U.S. Census - Notification of Coverage
William Baughman:
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 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 I1 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 I1 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 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.
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 Marvin 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 it certification that the Village of
Marvin 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.us/su/stormwater.htm1. If you have any questions about this letter, please feel free to contact me
(919-733-5083, ext.525) or Darren England (919-733-5083, ext. 545)
