Hall
Dear Mr. James;
Pursuant to Session Law 2006-246, municipalities with a population of less than 10,000, are
not required to obtain a Phase 11 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit
for stormwater management unless the municipality is shown to be contributing to an impairment of
State waters, as determined under the requirements of 33 U.S.C. § 1313(d). The State may waive the
requirements otherwise applicable to the municipality if the MS4 serves a population under 10,000
and they meet the following criteria:
➢' The State has evaluated the waters, including small streams, tributaries, lakes, and
ponds, that receive a discharge from the MS4 and has determined that storm water
controls are not needed based on wasteload allocations that are part of an EPA
approved or established TMDL that addresses the pollutant(s) of concern or, if a
TMDL has not been developed or approved, an equivalent analysis that determines
sources and allocations for the pollutant(s) of concern. The pollutant(s) of concern
include biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), sediment or a parameter that addresses
sediment (such as total suspended solids, turbidity or siltation), pathogens, oil and
grease, and any pollutant that has been identified as a cause of impairment of any
water body that will receive a discharge from the MS4; and
➢ The permitting authority has determined that future discharges from the MS4 does
not have the potential to result in exceedances of water quality standards, including
impairment of designated uses, or other significant water quality impacts, including
habitat and biological impacts.

The Town of Rural Hall, population 2,539, is requesting our. NPDES Permit #NCS000415 be
rescinded and a waiver granted pursuant to 40 CFR 122.32. In evaluating the waters, including
small streams, tributaries, lakes and ponds, that receive a discharge.from the Town of Rural Hall,
it appears that storm water controls are not needed based on the waste load allocations that are
part of an EPA approved or established TMDL. The Town of Rural Hall anticipates future
discharges from the Town of Rural Hall do not have the potential of exceeding water quality
standards, including impairment of designated uses, or other significant water quality impacts,
including habitat and biological impacts. Existing municipal programs in place ensure the Town
of Rural Hall's operations and activities are not contributing substantially to the pollutant loadings
of the water bodies to which it drains. The Town of Rural Hall does not drain to water bodies that
do not meet water quality standards or which have impaired uses at this time.
Several of the streams that receive discharge from the Town of Rural Hall have been visited at
their confluent point and approximately 3500 feet downstream from those points. These streams
appear to show no visible signs of discoloration or impurities.
The Town of Rural Hall will continue to protect its water quality through its stormwater
management efforts as outlined below:
- Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Planning Department serves as the town's planning
department and oversees construction in the town. They have policies in place whereby
they issue permits, conduct inspections, regulate stormwater, etc. The Town of Rural
Hall plans to continue its partnership with the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Planning
Department.
Ongoing segments on the town's website and in the town's quarterly newsletter have
been developed to provide stormwater education information. The information on the
website is updated as needed and each issue.of the quarterly newsletter includes a
stormwater article. ..
Educating the public, staff and elected officials about the importance„of protecting our
streams through stormwater management is an ongoing process. The Town of Rural
Hall staff accepts speaking engagements with various civic organizations, whereby we
stress the importance of protecting our streams and distribute written materials.

Cooperative Extension Office offers stormwater workshops, in which the Town of Rural
Hall has participated. The Cooperative Extension has also reached into the community
by helping Rural Hall Elementary School develop a rain garden. These alliances have
proven invaluable to the Town of Rural Hall in our efforts to protect our water quality
through education.

those comments. You may review all the comments and response to comments at:
http,/lh2o,enr.state.nc.us/su/NPDES Phase H Stormwater Program.htm
As a result of comments received during the comment period, DWQ revised the
TMDL language for communities that are or may be subject to TMDLs during the term of
their permit. The revisions were editorial in nature and necessary to clarify the additional
requirements a community would be subject to if 1) the permitted MS4 is or becomes
subject to an approved TMDL, and 2) following notice of such by the Division.
If any parts contained in this permit are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an

May 20, 2004
KBP
Background
The Town of Rural Hall reports 2473 permanent residents. The town is in Forsyth County and the
town's MS4 drains into the Yadkin -Pee Dee and Roanoke River Basins. The jurisdictional area is 2.75
square miles and the MS4 area served is the same. Land use is reported as 60% residential, 5%
industrial, 20% open, and 15% commercial. The application reports fourteen primary receiving
waters, all classified C. The responsibilities for elements of the Stormwater Management Program
Plan fall to the Town Manager.
Application review
a) The four -page permit application has been signed and sufficiently completed. OK
b) Section 7.1 Public Education - Sufficient content (year one actions, minorities and
disadvantaged included by virtue of targeting schools, educational program, mail outs,
website captured in the Illicit Discharge Program, PLUS quarterly newsletters.) OK
c) Section 7.2 Public Involvement - Sufficient content (notice requirement for public
meeting, public meeting.) The town has met the absolute minimum. However, it appears
that they may have misunderstood that the objective is to get volunteer citizen
participation. OK, but transmittal letter to suggest the volunteer aspect that most
other permittees included in this program.
d) Section 7.3 Illicit Discharges - Sufficient content (develop program, establish ordinance,
mapping, enforcement provisions, inspections, training, PLUS website use for education,
coordination with county Health Department on septic tank problems.) OK
e) Section 7.4 Construction Site Runoff - Sufficient content (reliance on Forsyth County's
delegated program for sediment and erosion control.) OK
f) Section 7.5 Post Construction Management - Sufficient content (The town has agreed with
Forsyth County to develop a Post Construction program that meets the intent of the Phase
II requirements.) OK
g) Section 7.6 Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping - Sufficient content (training on
O&M for the collection system, municipal operations inventory, PLUS evaluate used oil
recycling program, inventory hazardous wastes and materials at city operations.) OK
h) Staffing and budget - Sufficient. The Stormwater Management Program Plan activities all
to the Town Manager. Given the relativelyity small size of the town, it seems appropriate
that a single position be responsible for the Plan. No budget information is provided. OK
i) Timing - Sufficient. Some public education BMPs start in the first year. Other minimum
measures are timely. OK
j) Measurable goals - Sufficient. OK
k) The Plan is consistent with the temporary rules in effect at the time of submittal
and the instructions provided with the application form. Plan approvable as is.

against the final provisions of Session Law 2004-163 and the Stormwater Management Rule (SMR):
OK. Plan is consistent with the Law and the SMR. Plan is approvable as is.

Dear Mr. Pickle:
I am in receipt•of-the Town of Rural Hall's draft -Phase II NPDES Stormwater Permit. After review
of the draft permit, there are some areas l would like to address,
io f18 0 •+�
Part 11 _Page 3 of 12 — Section B: Public Education and Outreach Item 2C: Our draft permit
rex�cris� indicates that we will distribute written material through utility mailouts. The Town of Rural Hail
G' does not own or operate utilities requiring utility billing; however, we do have a quarterly
newsletter whereby we can distribute written information, We respectfully request the utility
mailouts requirement be removed from the permit.
Part II, Page 4 of 12 --• Section C: Public Involvement and Participation, Item 2A: A typographical
r�,Fst error was noted. The measurable goal shoud be corrected to read, 'Conduct at least one public
meeting to allow the public an opportunity to review and comment on the stormwater plan.'

rer�zt es f- request this BMP be deferred to the second year so we may determine what program(s) would
U work best within our community based upon the previous year's report.
re Part II, Page a„of 12 — Section C: Public Involvement and Participation, Item 2C: The Town of
re� �sf Rural Hall serves a population of just under 2,500. We presently have a limited staff which
makes it difficult for us to work with an advisory panel. In the past, it has been our experience
with other committees that we have to beg for participation and often times we are unable to have
a quorom for meetings. Furthermore, the time and energy that would need to be devoted in
training an advisory committee could be used in implementing and focusing on the permit. We
respectfully request this item be removed from the permit.
Part 11, Page 5 of 12 — Section D: Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Item 2C: Due to
cons,r P�rf c�I limited staffing and funding, we,,request.that one -quarter of the'Town of Rural Hall's storm sewer
TS�s j P tEFS'�— system be documented annually beginning the second year with completion by the end of the fifth
year,

In reviewing the Town of Rural Hall's draft Phase 11 NPDES Stormwater Permit, there is one area
I would like to address.
Part II, Page 7 of 12 — Section E: Construction Site Runoff Controls, Item 2A —We would like for
�1 d� the measurable goal to be revised to read as follows:
�{ "Develop a regulatory mechanism and implement a program requiring erosion and sediment
controls at construction sites and providing for sanctions to ensure compliance. Instead of
originating a new program, the permittee has elected to comply by relying on the NCDENR
Division of Land Resources (DLR) Erosion and Sediment Control Program, either as
administered by the DLR, or as delegated by the Sedimentation Control Commission (SCC) to
4 J,d another entity with appropriate jurisdiction, which may include the permittee or Winston-
Salem/Forsyth County Inspections Program. The permittee may rely on the DLR program only to
the extent that the program satisfies all of the following BMPs."

0 1. Storm Sewer System Information
1.1 Population Served: According to the 2000 US Census, the Town of Rural Hall's (Town's)
population is 2473.
1.2 Growth Rate: The annual growth rate for the Town based upon the 1990 and 2000 US
Census is 8.17%. This high percentage of a growth rate reflects a major annexation in 1992.
1.3 Jurisdictional and MS4 Service Areas: The Town's jurisdictional and MS4 service area is
2.75 square miles.
1.4 MS4 Conveyance System: The Town is unique because it is located on a ridgeline, divided
cast to west. A greater percent of our water drains to the west into Grassy Creek by open
channel ditches. Currently, the Town employs three full-time Public Works personnel. We
maintain less than one mile of curb & guttering, which is in the Falconbridge subdivision. At
the present time, we vacuum our curb & guttering lines in the Falconbridge subdivision and
we do necessary maintenance to ditch lines in order to keep water flowing. During leaf
season, leaves are vacuumed at least once a week. Catch basins, pipes and other man-made
structures are cleaned as needed by pressure washing and vacuuming. The Town participates
in the annual fall and spring litter sweeps promoted by the State as well as the NCDOT
Adopt -A -Highway program.
1.5 Land Use Composition Estimates: The estimated percentage of land use activities for the
010 Town's jurisdictional area is as follows:
•
Residential:
60 %
Commercial:
15 %
Industrial:
5 %
Open Space:
20 %
1.6 Estimate Methodology: Land use percentages for the Town were estimated by visual
inspection of recent aerial photographs and by review of land use plans.
1.7 TMDL Identification: MS4's within the Town arc not discharged into a controlled body of
water or receiving stream.

7, Stormwater Management Program Plan
7.1 Public Education and Outreach on Stormwater Impacts
• 7.1.1 BMP Summary Table: Refer to page 13 for the Town's Public Education and
Outreach on Stormwater Impacts BMP Table.
7.1.2 Target Audience: The target audiences for the Town's Public Education and
Outreach on Stormwater impacts are households, schoolchildren, businesses and
industries, and town employees. The Town recognizes an ongoing educational effort
is necessary to build public support for the changes required in the Stormwater
program. Schoolchildren are eager to learn and share their knowledge with other
family members; furthermore, the Town realizes that in order to have the community
respond favorably to stormwater our employees must set an example.
7.1.3 Target Pollutant Sources: Trash, disposal of household chemicals and used oil,
deicing products and lawn care products are pollutant sources being addressed within
the community. The elimination of trash would prevent drain clogging. Household
chemicals, used oil, deicing products, and Iawn care products could be sources of
pollution to our stormwater.
7.1.4 Outreach Program: Printed material will be distributed at various Town functions.
The Town's website and quarterly newsletter will also be a means of outreach.
Presentations will be given to schoolchildren, homeowner associations and civic
groups. In the future, we will consider establishing a stormwater committee as a part
of our overall stormwater program.
• 7.1.5 Decision Process: In the past, the Town's quarterly newsletter has proven to be
effective in disseminating information to the community. After discussions with the
Town's elected officials and staff, it was agreed to continue with this approach and
expand by educating homeowner associations, civic organizations and
schoolchildren. Educating schoolchildren helps us to reach their families.
•
7.1.6 Evaluation: Annually, the implementation progress of an education plan, the number
of schoolchildren, Town employees, businesses and industries reached as well as
what subject was covered and the number of publications distributed will be reported.

7.3 Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
. 7.3. l BMP Summary Table: Refer to page 16 for the Town's Illicit Discharge Detection
and Elimination BMP Table.
U
7.3.2 Storm Sewer System Man: The Town will utilize existing paper maps showing
streams to mark outfall locations. A visual dry weather inspection of Town streams
will be done initially by walking the streams and noting illicit discharges. These
discharges will be noted on a paper map and marked utilizing a Global Positioning
System (GPS) indicator. Annual reviews of the map and streams will be required.
The map will be kept at Town Hall for public inspection.
7.3.3 Regulatory Mechanism: Model ordinances from other municipalities will be
reviewed and efforts will be coordinated with Forsyth County in developing an illicit
discharge ordinance during the first year of the permit. Public hearings may be held
during the development process. Once a draft ordinance has been prepared, it will be
presented to the Town Council for their review and approval by the end of year one.
7.3.4 Enforcement: The illicit discharge ordinance that will be developed will address
enforcement actions.
7.3.5 Detection and Elimination! Dry weather visual inspections will be done to find illicit
connections. If illicit connections are found, they will be traced upstream in an
attempt to determine the source. The illicit discharge ordinance to be developed will
include right -of -entry; addressing of spills and elimination of illicit discharge or
connection. The Town will review the program's success in eliminating any
discharges that may be detected. All procedures will be evaluated to determine if any
changes are needed.
7.3.6 Non-Stormwater Discharges: The Town has allowed all optional non-stormwater
discharges_
7.3.7 Incidental Non-Stormwater Discharges: The Town has not allowed any incidental
non-stormwatcr discharges.
7.3.8 Outreach: Employees will be informed of the hazards of illicit discharge through
training. The public will be reached via flyers, Town website and quarterly
newsletter.
7.3.4 Decision Process: Since we did not previously have an ordinance, we chose to adopt
an ordinance that gives the Town the right -of -entry and power of enforcement.
Ordinance may impose fines, fees, etc. We wanted to track how effective we are in
eliminating the illicit discharges detected. We've chosen to adopt education of
municipal employees in order to avoid practices leading to illicit discharges.
7.3.14 Evaluation: The Town will inspect 25% of the stormwatcr system annually and will
record results for the annual report. Report the number of illicit discharges and
connections detected. Report the percentage of connections that have been corrected
and/or eliminated_

Subject: NPDES Phase II Stormwater Program
In 1990 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Phase I stormwater program was promulgated under the
Clean Water Act. Phase I relies on National Pollutant discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit coverage to
address stormwater runoff from: (1) "medium" and "large" municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) generally
serving populations of 100,000 or greater, (2) construction activity disturbing 5 acres of land or greater, and (3) ten
categories of industrial activity. The NPDES Stormwater Phase II Final Rule was promulgated in December 1999 and is
the next step in EPA's effort to preserve, protect, and improve the Nation's water resources from polluted storm water
runoff. The Phase II program expands the Phase I program by requiring additional operators of MS4s in urbanized areas
and operators of small construction sites, through the use of NPDES permits, to implement programs and practices to
control stormwater runoff. Phase 11 is intended to further reduce adverse impacts to water quality and aquatic habitat by
instituting the use of controls on the unregulated sources of stormwater discharges that have the greatest likelihood of
causing continued environmental degradation.
The NPDES Stormwater Phase 11 Final Rule requires nationwide coverage of all operators of small MS4s that are
located within the boundaries of a Bureau of the Census defined "urbanized area" based on the latest decennial Census.
We are writing to you to remind you that the Town of Rural Hall has been identified as being located within a census
designated urbanized area in both the 1990 and 2000 decennial census. As a regulated community, you are required to
develop a stormwater management program and apply for stormwater permit coverage, if you own and operate a small
MS4 or file a certification that the Town of Rural Flail does not own or operate a small MS4. The deadline for
submitting your application package or non -ownership certification is March 10, 2003. Application and certification
documents, as well as additional information on the NPDES stormwater program, are available for download at our web
site . Our web address is http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/sulstormwater.html. You may also contact us for hard copies of the
documents. If you have any questions about this letter, please feel free to contact me (919-733-5083, ext.525) or Darren
England (919-733-5083, ext. 545)
