Additional Information Request
Dear Mr. Jordan:
After a review of your permit application materials I found that with changes to Section 7,
there is sufficient content to continue with the review and drafting of your permit.
Section 7 did not identify it BMP to develop and implement an Illicit Discharge Detection
and Elimination Program Plan. Although elements of a program were addressed there was
insufficient information to evaluate Smithfield's program for public education (i.e., inform public
employees, businesses, and the general public of hazards associated with illegal discharges and
improper disposal of waste).
Section 7 did not identify it BMP to develop and implement a Post -Construction Site
Runoff Controls Program. For Non -Structural BMPs — the Plan indicated that Smithheid will
consider changes to current subdivision rules that include both low and high density projects as
defined by the Phase IJ Rules; however, the current subdivision rules were not provided for
review and evaluation of non-structural and structural post -construction controls. Smithfield
currently has a limited O&M guideline as part of the Neuse River Storm Water Management
Plan-, however, the O&M guideline was not provided for review and evaluation of post -
construction controls.
Section 7 did not identify a Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping BMP to inspect
all facilities and operations with the potential for generating polluted stormwater runoff.
Specifically inspect the potential sources of polluted runoff, the stormwater controls, and
conveyance systems. Document deficiencies and corrective actions.

In 1990, the EPA established a set of rules governing how municipalities should transport
and treat polluted storm water runoff before it reached the states main rivers. The regulations
were launched under the title of Phase I of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES). The purpose of the program was to encourage towns and cities to create
and utilize a system that was unique, educational, and helped protect the quality of the water.
These rules and regulations were created for "medium" or "large" sized municipal separate
storm systems (MS4s), which served populations of 100,000 or more. After monitoring the
progress of the program for the larger municipalities, the EPA decided to expand the
coverage to include smaller MS4s. Using the Phase I regulations and guidelines as a
background, Phase II was developed and placed into operation for smaller areas that operate
their own storm sewer system.
1. Storm Sewer System Information
The Town of Smithfield lies in east central North Carolina, 25 miles southeast of Raleigh and
23 miles northwest of Goldsboro. The Town was established by legislative act in 1777 on
lands of John Smith on the Neuse River. Smith had been operating a ferry near the head of
navigation on the Neuse River since 1759.
The Town has long been a retail and marketing center for the agricultural economy of
Johnston County. In the last 30 years, several industries have been built producing textiles,
furniture, electronics, and medicines. Smithfield has benefited from its proximity to the
S Raleigh -Durham metropolitan area and Interstate Highway 95. The Town has an estimated
population of about 11,200.
Situated on the east bank of the Neuse River 185 miles above the mouth, Smithfield lies near
the fall line separating the Piedmont and Coastal Plains physiographic regions of the state.
The Neuse River is formed by the confluence of the Eno and Flat Rivers east of Durham and
has a drainage area of 1206 square miles at the bridge in downtown Smithfield.
Upland soils are somewhat poorly to well -drained sands over yellowish -brown sandy clay
subsoils of the Norfolk, Lynchburg, and Wagram Series. Flood plain soils are nearly level,
poorly drained dark sandy loam over gray sandy clay subsoils of the Roanoke and Wehadkee
Series.
Principal trees are species of oak, maple, elm, pine, ash, and gum. Much of the land has been
cleared for agriculture, pasture, or urban uses. The main crops are tobacco, soybeans, corn,
and vegetables. Smithfield has a mild climate with an average temperature of 62 degrees F
and an average annual rainfall of 48 inches.
Elevations in the permit area vary from about 100 feet above National Geodetic Vertical
Datum of 1929 (NGVD), along the Neuse River upward to over 200 feet NGVD northwest of
the Town. In addition to the Neuse River, the Town enjoys four other tributaries: Swift
Creek, Buffalo Creels, Spring Branch, and Meadow Branch. Flood plain areas are
predominantly undeveloped, except along Spring Branch, where the flood plain is highly
developed. The Spring Branch flood plain is 300 feet to 1,200 feet wide and contains
numerous homes and businesses. There is some development in the Swift Creek flood plain

along North Carolina Highway 210 and along Buffalo Creek near Buffalo Road. Swift Creek
rises southwest of Raleigh and has a drainage area of 287 square miles at the mouth.
Low-lying areas of Smithfield that are subject to periodic flooding include areas adjacent to
the Neuse River, Swift Creek, Buffalo Creek, Spring Branch and Meadow Branch. The most
severe flooding on the larger streams results from heavy rains from tropical storms or major
weather fronts, while creek flooding results primarily from intense summer thunderstorms.
The USGS has operated a stream gage (No. 02087570) on the Neuse River at the U.S.
Highway 70 bridge since 1908.
1.1 Population Served
According to the 2000 US Census of North Carolina, the permanent population of Smithfield was
11,510 people. The population does not change seasonally.
1.2 Growth Rate
The population growth rate was calculated using the US Census of North Carolina for the years of
1990 and 2000. The population of the town in 1990 was 7,540 people. Over ten years the
population grew to its 2000 number of 11,510 people. Taking the difference over the ten-year
span results in an increase of 3,970 people. To find the average yearly growth rate, divide the
ten-year result by 10 to obtain a rate of 397 people per year. With the town's proximity to
Raleigh, which also has a very high ten-year growth rate, this number seems very realistic when
considering future growth.
1.3 Jurisdictional and MS4 Service Areas
The jurisdictional area for the town is 18 square miles and a storm sewer service area of roughly
11 square miles. These numbers were found from a county zoning map and verified by the
town's planning department.
1.4 MS4 Conveyance System
The existing MS4 system consists mainly of town streets lined with curb and gutter that
discharges into curb inlets. These inlets are connected to a pipe network system that empties into
Spring Branch, which flows through the downtown area. Spring Branch and several other small
tributaries ultimately flow into the Neuse River. Roof drains and yard inlets located in the town
are also connected to pipe networks that feed the smaller creeks. Streets outside of the town's
limits are lined with grass swales that drain the roads and surrounding yards. In 1997, major
improvements were made to the storm drainage system, which included a 9.5-acre retention pond
(Pine Acres). The pond was built in the eastern part of Smithfield to control the peak flows of
Spring Branch and to serve as a recreational facility. Along with the pond, hundreds of feet of
storm sewer pipe were added to the system.
• Inside of the Public Works department for the town is a separate division devoted totally to storm
water drainage and maintenance. Routine repairs are performed throughout the jurisdictional area

as needed. Starting at the beginning of the summer in 2003, a storm water utilities fee will be
assessed to all town residents. This fee will fund many purposes for the town, such as:
• Operations, Routine and Remedial Maintenance
• Erosion and Sediment Control
• Emergency Response Operations
• Water Quality Operations
1.5 Land Use Composition Estimates
The table below presents the four categorizes broken down into the percentage of their land use
within the town:
Categories
Percentage
Residential
45%
Commercial
12%
Industrial
&%
Open Space
35%
1.6 Estimate Methodology
The above chart was produced from information provided by the town's planner. A table
• produced in 2001 showing the land use was created by Holland Consulting showing the .
percentages of each land use type. The land use table was not separated into just the four main
categories but instead into eleven different zones. These zones were placed into the categories
where they best fit. One of the zones that did not fit well into any category was "Right -of -Way",
which was placed into the open space category. Every other land use type was easily placed into
one of the four main categories. Based upon our review of the zoning map, much of the
undeveloped land in the jurisdictional area is zoned R-20A (Residential and Agriculture). Taking
this into account, much of this land was designated as residential instead of open space. After
summing up all of the land usages in each category, a summed area for each category and an
overall total area were found for the town. From these numbers the percentage of land use was
found.
1.7 TMDL Identification
According to the EPA or the NCDENR no Total Maximum Daily Load has been placed on the
Neuse River or any of its primary receiving streams within the town.

Hare Snipe Creek off Ray Road, Wake Co.
This site is upstream of Lake Lynn, located in the Sandy Ridge subdivision on Ray Road. The stream
here is very small, only 2m wide. There is a lot of sediment from new home construction in its riparian
zone. Another site, at US 70 was sampled on 2/ 95. At that site the creek was 6m wide, with good
instream habitat, but the macroinvertebrate fauna was not very diverse. 'Ibis sample further downstream
had an FPT count of only 10, resulting in a Fair classification and should remain on the 303(d) list.

The Town of Smithfield currently has limited a Storm Water Management Program. A
summary of the significant regulations presented in Appendix B of the Town of Smithfield
Zoning Regulations follows. I t i s a nticipated t hat t he N euse River Storm water P lan w ill
supplement current regulations and ultimately expand to include the effective US EPA Phase
II Regulatory Requirements.
■ Drainage shall be coordinated with local properties and streets. New development
shall be developed and maintained to minimize burden upon adjacent property.
• Natural drainage ways shall be used whenever possible.
• Impervious area is limited to 50% on any new development over 2 acres in size for 13-
3, Industrial, O & I, and Residential Districts. Similarly, these regulations limit
impervious area to 50% on any existing facility expansion less than 2 acres in size.
Impervious areas that exceed the 50% impervious area are considered special use and
are reviewed by the Planning Board and Town Council.

7.1.2-Target Audience -During the first year of program implementation, the Town of
Smithfield will also conduct two (2) technical workshops. One shall be designed to educate
local government officials and staff and the other for the development community, including:
engineers, developers, architects, contractors, surveyors, planners, and realtors.
Part o f t he i nitial technical t raining p rogram f or s taff w ill i nclude i nstruction a nd t raining
materials to implement the mapping and illicit discharge identification portion of the storm
water program.
7.1.3-Target Pollutant Sources- Target pollutants are currently total nitrogen, fecal coli form,
dissolved oxygen, pH, metals and phosphorous. Nitrogen and fecal coli form are the primary
concerns because the Town is located so close to the already nutrient sensitive Neuse River.
7.1.3 Outreach Program -Public education is the most essential part of the Phase 2 storm
water management program. Public education can be of great interest to the general public,
met with much enthusiasm and ultimately become a very effective tool for implementing a

successful program. The public education program will begin with staff and elected officials
and then expand to the technical community, developers, businesses, schools and ultimately
the general public. Where possible, the Town will strategically focus efforts upon forming
partnerships with Johnston County and other neighboring; communities in order to develop
educational materials as well as strategies for outreach to diverse audiences.
7.1.5 Decision Process -It should be noted that the Town of Smithfield has already initiated
the process by participating in the regional public awareness program developed by the local
TJCOG. In addition to this effort, over the next 5 years, the Town will develop newsletters,
provide information on the Town web site and expand the program to the business
community. Currently under design is a unique BMP that is to be located on Spring Branch
near the confluence with the Neuse River. Public access will be encouraged to numerous
strategic elements of the proposed BMP for the purpose of public education. The BMP is
anticipated to be completed by end of year 2004.
In summary public education will be improved by the development of the following:
• Brochures and fact sheets
• Recreational guidelines
• Information resources in the local library
• Education programs for school kids
• Volunteer programs
® 7.1.6 Evaluation -During, the first year the Town of Smithfield will develop an outreach
program and a decision process for measuring public education. A storm water hotline will
be initiated and volunteer educators trained. In year 2 a web site will be created. In years 3
and 4 it is anticipated that results from illicit discharge detection will be available and
therefore shared with the general public for education.

7.2.2- Target Audience -The Town of Smithfield has already begun to develop an action plan
designed to raise awareness and increase public involvement and participation about water
quality, non -point source pollution, and the effects of everyday activities on water quality and
nutrient loading. The target audience is the general community with emphasis on storm drain
marking and a demonstration site along Spring Branch,
7.2.3 Participation Program -The Town is currently participating with other local communities
in the public advertisement of the Phase 2 program. The Town of Smithfield offers an
excellent opportunity to be a role model for the other local government programs in the
Neuse River Basin. For example, the T own has already initiated a Storm Drain marking
program. There is a local paper, the Smithfield Herald, where quarterly articles may be
published_ Both Spring Branch and Meadow Branch offer excellent opportunities for
volunteer support to monitor water quality and identify specific pollutant concerns. The
Neuse River is a focal point for much of the Town of Smithfield community. As part of the
greenway system, it frequently is enjoyed by the community. One potential retrofit site has
also been identified at the confluence of Spring Branch and the Neuse River. The location is
such that a constructed wetland site could be located for future education purposes. The local
Boy Scouts are very active and interested in environmental issues and have already assisted

with storm drainage marking. The Town Council is very receptive to the new program.
Some members are already attending workshops provided by the State.
The Town is also in the process of developing a storm water utility. As part of this program a
Storm Water Advisory Committee (SWAG) consisting of homeowners, businesses, and
developers as well as town staff and elected officials will be formed. Public hearings will
occur within the first year along with education of a stakeholders group comprised of
volunteers trained and a ducated to speak a t I ocal a vents about t he need t o improve water
quality.
Hotline -The experiences of other communities have shown that an illegal discharge hotline is
a cost-effective way to identify illegal discharges. Part of the public education program will
be to educate citizens about what types of discharges should not go to the storm water
collection system and make them aware o f the hotline. T he h otline will designate a n ew
phone number. The hotline will include a recording advising citizens what to do if they call
during non -business hours. There will be another number for cages where- the illegal
discharge is perceived to be an emergency.
7.2.4 Decision Process -During the first year, the Town of Smithfield will develop an action
plan designed to raise awareness and educate the audience about water quality, non -point
source pollution, and the effects of everyday activities on water quality and nutrient loading.
The proposed action plan will outline activities for each upcoming year, identifying target
audiences and anticipated costs of the program. The action plan will be submitted to DWQ
for approval prior to October 1 of each year. Planned activities include:
• Demonstration Project -Spring Branch Under Development
• Sponsor Adopt -a -Program
• Coordinate local newspaper articles
• Recognition to environmental friendly participant and programs
• Local cable
• Violation hot line
• Environmental contest
• Utility Bill Inserts
• Fertilizer Tags
• Speakers for Civic Organizations
7.2.5 Evaluation- Early success will be measured by measuring observable public
participation. During the first year of program implementation, the Town of Smithfield will
also conduct two (2) technical workshops. One shall be designed to educate local
government officials and staff and the other for the development community, including:
engineers, developers, architects, contractors, surveyors, planners, and realtors.
Part o f the i nitial technical t raining p rogram for s taff w ill i nclude i nstruction and t raining
materials to implement the mapping and illicit discharge identification portion of the storm
water program. Previous experience has shown that many illegal discharges are actually
unintentional. A sample letter to inform owners and operators about the requirements of the
illegal discharge program is included in Appendix G of the Neuse River Storm Water
Management Model.

And finally as the program matures it is anticipated that economic incentives will be made
available to citizens and businesses that demonstrate measurable contributions to the Town of
Smithfield comprehensive storm water program objectives.

7.3.2— Storm Sewer Map -Over the past few years, the Town developed and maintained a
comprehensive map o f t he a xisting s torm w ater f acilities. I n 2 000 the map was c onverted
completely to an autocad database that presents outfalls, location of receiving streams, street
names, topography, parcels and other incidentals.
7.3.3- Regulatory Mechanism -The Town of Smithfield has a storm water management
ordinance. In early 2001 the Town established legal authority to address and enforce illicit
discharges.
7.3.4 —Enforcement-Violations to the Town Storm water ordinance constitute a misdemeanor
and a $500 penalty. Regarding illegal discharges (domestic and household), for first time
offenders, if the discharge is less than 5 gallons, the said person will be assessed a civil
penalty not to exceed $100.00 per violation or day for any continued violation: If the
quantity of the discharge is greater than 5 gallons or contains non -domestic waste the civil
penalty shall be up to $1000.00 per violation or per day of continued violation. For repeat
offenders the amount of the penalty shall double the previous penalty and not exceed
$10,000.00,

If further action is needed the Town may institute any appropriate action as outlined in the
storm water ordinance.
7.3.5-Detection and Elimination -During the first year of the Phase 2 program the Town will
begin a screening process. The first part of the screening process for the selected high priority
area is mapping the storm water system. As a minimum, the map that is produced shall
include the following:
• Locations of the outfalls of any pipes from non -industrial areas that are greater than
or equal to 36 inches.
+ Locations of the outfalls of any pipes from industrial areas that are greater than or
equal to 12 inches.
•. Locations of drainage ditches that drain more than 50 acres of non -industrial lands.
• Locations of drainage ditches that drain more than 2 acres of industrial land.
• An accompanying summary table listing the outfalls that meet the above criteria that
includes outfall ID numbers, location, primary and supplemental classification of
receiving water, and use -support of receiving water.
The second part of the screening process for the selected high priority area is conducting a
dry weather field screening of all outfalls that meet the above criteria to detect illegal
discharges. The dry weather field screening shall not be conducted during or within 72 hours
following a rain event of 0.1 inches or greater. (In residential areas, it is recommended to
conduct the field screening either before 9:00 am or after 5:00 pm, since these are the hours
that citizens are most likely to be home and thus any illegal discharges are more likely to be
evident).
The figure on the following page illustrates a suggested process for conducting field
screening s ampling a ctivities and following up w ith a ny findings o f d ry w eather flow. A s
shown in the figure, if the field screening shows that an outfall is dry, then the outfall should
be checked for intermittent flow at a later date.
If the field screening shows that an outfall has a dry weather flow, then the local government
is required to complete a screening report for the outfall. The information that should be
contained in the screening report is outlined below. Analytical monitoring is required only if
an obvious source of the dry weather flow cannot be determined through an investigation of
the upstream storm water collection system. Outfalls with flow will be screened again within
24 hours for the above parameters. The tests for ammonia and nitrate/nitrite that are
purchased should be sensitive for 0.1 to 10 mg/L.

Town of Smithfield, North Carolina
Plan Checklist Pg 1 of 4

❑ Hydrologic and hydraulic analyses and design computations, as appropriate (BMP
design, drainage calculations, etc.) including the following:
o Flood and storage routings are required for embankment -type BMP(s). A
design table with each drainage structure numbered including size,
material, environmental and cumulative drainage areas, peak flows, and
headwater where applicable, zoning, "C" or "CN" values, slope,
imperviousness, and other pertinent data used to calculate the runoff from
the area tributary to each structure.
o Downstream analysis: An analysis of the storm water impacts of the
proposed development or construction activity including: the effects on
existing upstream and downstream drainage systems and property; the
ability of the natural drainage way(s) to handle additional storm water
runoff; and site specific criteria. Hydraulic and hydrologic analyses of
upstream and downstream structures shall be provided to ensure that the
structure(s) will not be negatively impacted by the development; that this
development shall not cause erosion downstream; that the development
shall not create flood hazards downstream; and that this development will
not create a flooding hazard upstream by excessively ponding water. In the
event that such negative impacts are expected, measures shall be taken
prior to development to offset the impacts (replacing or improving
conveyance pipes or structures, obtaining downstream or upstream offsite
drainage easements, etc.). The analyses shall be extended upstream and
downstream to points where impact is insignificant. Insignificant impact is
assumed when the drainage area to the analysis point is less than 10% of
the total drainage area.
❑ As -Built Plans
Upon completion of the new construction the developer is required to provide "as -
built" plans, certified by a NC registered professional engineer, prior to receiving
an occupancy permit for the property. These plans are also to be certified using
the language provided in the Section below:
Certification
The storm water quality management program of the Town of Smithfield is a
performance -based program. In order to achieve the performance that the BMP(s)
are intended to provide, proper design, construction, operation, and maintenance
of storm water management facilities and BMP(s) are essential.
The certification must be provided by a North Carolina registered professional
engineer, qualified in hydrology and hydraulics. The certification to be provided
with engineering or storm water control plans is provided below and should be
stamped or sealed, signed and dated with the submittal.
Town of Smithfield, North Carolina
Plan Checklist Pg 2 of 4

"1 certify that this plan complies with the ordinances, rules,
regulations, and storm water drainage design standards of the
Town of Smithfield."
Certification must also be provided by a North Carolina registered professional
engineer, qualified in hydrology and hydraulics for the "as -built" plans. The
certification to be made is provided below and should be stamped or sealed,
signed and dated with the submittal.
"I certify that the storm water management facilities are
constructed and installed in conformance with the ordinances,
rules, regulations, drainage design standards of the Town of
Smithfield, and the approved storm water management plan."
Annual Inspections
Inspections of the BMP(s) and other storm water controls are to be made annually
to ensure that routine and remedial maintenance are being performed and that the
BMP(s) are operating properly. The annual certification that appropriate
maintenance is being performed is to be made by a North Carolina registered
professional engineer, registered landscape architect, or registered land surveyor.
The following certification is to be made with accompanying stamp or seal,
signature and date.
"I certify that the BMP(s), storm water management facilities, and
open space areas referenced in this document have been
maintained in conformance with the approved storm water
management plan and maintenance agreement. This certification
is made based on personal observation of the site and review of
maintenance records."
Regional Storm water Management Plans (SWMPs)
The most efficient and cost effective means of managing both the quantity and
quality of storm water runoff is through the use of regional SWMP plans.
Regional SWMP plans may include a system of BMP(s) in series or parallel
designed to treat the runoff from a large site or network of contiguous sites, or a
single BMP designed to treat the runoff from a site of new development. When a
site is part of an approved regional SWMP there will be no requirement for on -
site structural controls unless they are part of the regional plan. Non-structural
controls required by the Town as part of its storm water management program are
not exempted by regional SWMP plans.
In some instances it will be necessary to provide BMP(s) prior to complete
development of the drainage area when a multi -phased development is planned.
Town of Smithfield, North Carolina
Plan Checklist Pg 3 of 4

In these instances any regional BMP(s) may have to be implemented as part of the
initial development of the site. This can be accomplished by the developer(s)
and/or the Town front -ending the cost of a regional BMP(s) and recovering the
incremental cost as development continues through a latecomer, or impact fee,
assessed as each additional property in the drainage area is developed.
In cases where the public's best interest is served by the public construction of
regional BMP(s) or BMP systems, a predetermined schedule of fees will be
determined at the time of construction of the BMP. The BMP(s) will be sized to
control the quantity and quality of runoff from the upstream drainage areas under
future conditions. Future development in the drainage area will pay a fee in -lieu -
of providing on -site storm water management.
For many regional SWMP(s) there is a high likelihood that both existing and new
development will be present in the drainage area. In these instances BMP(s) will
need to be sized appropriately to treat ALL runoff from the drainage area. In
these instances property owners may be able to obtain partial offsetting credit
against the need to provide water quality treatment for areas of a contiguous
development that do not fall within the drainage area of the regional BMW when
the runoff from existing development is being treated by the regional BMP. This
credit will be discretionary on the part of the Town and will require
documentation of the respective total nitrogen removal provided by the BMP
. from new development and existing development, as well as the export
calculations for the new development scheduled to occur outside the drainage area
of the regional BMP.
•
BMP(s) In PgMetuity
For all plans approved by the Town of Smithfield, BMP(s) that are approved in
site development plans are to be maintained in perpetuity as part of the
development. The BMP(s) are to be included on final recorded plats with the
note, "Required BMP - MAY NOT BE REMOVED OR ALTERED," on the plat
beside the BMP.
The only instances where BMP(s) will be allowed to be altered or removed will
be in conjunction with the redevelopment of the property or when an approved
regional BMP is constructed that was designed with control of the runoff from the
property included in the design.
Appeals
Appeals related to design requirements in this manual or as to the interpretations
of the Town relative to the manual will be as follows. A technical review
committee may be established to evaluate the merits of all appeals and to advise
the Town Council.

7.5.9 Non Structural BMPs-The Town of Smithfield recognizes the need for flexibility and
incentives to use site design techniques to reduce impervious surfaces on developments.
By March 10, 2005, the Town will consider changes to current subdivision rules that include
both Low Density Projects and High Density Projects as defined by the Phase 2 Rules.

7.5.10 Structural BMPs-The Town currently recognizes the following structural BMPs as
defined by the NCDENR Division of Water Quality Water Quality Section Storm water Best
Management Practices (Ref. 15A NCAC 2H.1000 Stormwater Management) :
• Wet Detention Ponds
• Constructed Wetlands
• Open Channel Practices
• Riparian Buffers
• Bioretention
• Proprietary BMP's
7.5.11 Regulatory Mechanism -A regulatory mechanism to support BMPs as required will be
initiated by 2004.
7.5.12 Operation and Maintenance -The Town currently has a limited operation and
maintenance guideline as part of the Neuse River Storm Water Management Plan.
A copy of this plan is located at the end of Section 7.5.
7.5.13 Decision Process- Further study specific to the Town of Smithfield is needed to
determine the nature and extent of anticipated new development. As part of the development
of a storm water master plan, the major tributaries will be studied to determine what
influence changes in design standards will impose on the overall Town of Smithfield
Program. A draft outline of the storm water manual is attached at the end Section 7.5.
7.5.14-Evaluation-As noted above the Town will initiate watershed studies during the early
stages of program development. Ordinances will follow in the next year and evolve
consistently with Town needs and growth. Impervious surface areas will be minimized and
infiltration programs encouraged as the program matures.

BMP Maintenance
0 Structural BMP Maintenance and Inspection Guidelines
Introduction
The purpose of this section is to provide guidelines for maintenance of structural
BMPs that will be utilized to satisfy nitrogen reduction in accordance to the Neuse
River Stormwater Rules. Periodic inspections and maintenance are essential in
preserving the functionality of a structural stormwater BMP. A firm institutional
commitment toward maintenance by both the property owner and the Town is
needed in order for a BMP to achieve long-term success. For this reason, the Town
will have access to all BMPs and conduct periodic inspections as necessary. Upon
completion of the inspection, the Town will advise the owner of both recommended
and required maintenance actions needed to maintain BMP functionality.
Unlike the illicit discharge program components, the inspection of a BMP should
occur during wet weather events to insure functionality and performance. A BMP
should always be inspected after a significant rain event. As presented in more
detail by the following, it is important to observe and measure sediment
accumulation on a regular basis. As sediment accumulates, the hydraulic
performance of a BMP changes and therefore the water quality performance
diminishes.
General
• Every effort should be made to reduce the pollutant load entering a BMP system.
Outside trash dumpsters should be kept covered, and the area around the dumpster
should be kept neat and clean. Chemicals, petroleum products and other pollution
sources should be stored in a covered area away from possible stormwater contact.
Spent chemicals are to be properly disposed or recycled. Fertilizers and pesticides
should be used conservatively on the property grounds. The area draining to the
BMP pond should remain stabilized to prevent excessive sediment from entering the
BMP facility. Trash and vegetative floatables (grass clippings, leaves, limbs, etc.)
should be cleaned from the pond surface and surroundings. Each BMP should have
a site -specific maintenance plan that includes an agreement and easement. T he
maintenance agreement should provide for ongoing inspection and maintenance,
with more intense activity during the first three years after construction. In summary,
it should detail all special maintenance responsibilities. The following operation and
maintenance guidelines are prepared for use by both the Owner and the Town to
insure adequate ongoing BMP performance and to assist with development of a
mutually satisfactory maintenance agreement.

BMP Maintenance Plan t of 8

BMP Maintenance
0 Wet Detention Facilities
General
Facilities constructed within the Town of Smithfield jurisdiction may be subject to the
State Dam Safety Law. Careful attention should be noted that the Dam Safety
regulation does not exclusively relate to height and volume thresholds. (For
example a dam may be less than 15 feet high and impound less than 10 acre-feet
but be regulated because of hazard classification.) Facilities regulated under the NC
Dam Safety Law must provide the Town a copy of the approval letter from Dam
Safety prior to construction as well as a certificate of approval to impound water
once construction is completed prior to impounding water.
Embankments
• Embankments should be kept well vegetated. It may be necessary to install
temporary erosion control (such as hay bales) along heavily eroded areas to
allow the repaired areas to stabilize. It is especially important to inspect for
and immediately repair any erosion on the dam embankments.
• Specific attention should be directed to the upstream slope, groin, crest,
downstream slope, abutments, and toe.
• Mow embankment and side slopes at least twice a year. Vegetation over 18
® inches high should be cut unless it is part of planned landscaping.
• Periodic removal of dead vegetation should be accomplished.
Pipe Inlet and Outlet areas
• Where erosion causes the undercutting of the downstream end of pipe, the
undercut should be stabilized immediately to prevent the end pipe section
from "breaking" off. Eroded areas should be filled with good compactable soil
and covered with a geotextile fabric and riprap.
Principal and Emergency Spillway
• Principal and emergency spillways should be inspected on a quarterly basis
and after every significant storm event to assure proper hydraulic function.
• If a riserlbarrel is used for the principal spillway, a trash rack is to be
maintained on the riser. Vegetative growth in the riser should be removed
promptly so that the design of the spillway is maintained. Also, the outlet area
where the barrel projects from the fill should be clear of tree limbs, sediment
accumulation, etc.
• Draw -down drains should be operated once a year.
• All structures should be inspected for joint deterioration, improper alignment,
and cracks.
Town of Smithfield, North Carolina
BMP Maintenance Plan 2 of

BMP Maintenance
• Seepage should be measured and described. (Muddy water means soil
loss.)
Toe Drains
• Inspect quantity_and quality of flow.
Piezometers
• Maintain records to monitor the phreactic surface through the dam.
Information accumulated from long term records indicate changes in screens,
clogging, etc.
• Keep covered to minimize vandalism and varmint intrusion.
• Protect from mowing.
Open Channel Flow
• Eroded areas should be seeded and/or sodded and protected as necessary.
If Erosion continues, a more robust lining should be used.
• Monitor changes in receiving channel.
Downstream Area
• Changes in downstream development can change hazard classification and
intended spillway performance requirements of a structure. Any changes
downstream to flood plain characteristics and stream channel should be
reported to the Town.
Emergency Action Plan
Facilities regulated under the North Carolina Dam Safety Law should provide
the Town a copy of the notification list, evacuation plan, and emergency
access road.
Sediment
• A benchmark for measurement of sediment accumulation should be installed.
• When sediment deposition in the forebay exceeds the designed sediment
storage capacity for the forebay, the forebay must be cleaned out. An
indication of when the forebay sediment capacity is exceeded is when
sediment bars are visible near the inlet discharge or when the sediment level
at the inlet to the pond is less than one foot below the normal pool surface.
Algae Growth
• • Consider chemical treatment by alum if algal blooms are a problem.
Town of Smithfield, North Carolina
BMP Maintenance Plan 3 of 8

BMP Maintenance
0 Grass Swales and Filter Strips
•
• After initial seeding, the grass should be watered, as needed. Fertilizers and
pesticides should not be over -applied. Refer to product directions for correct
application quantity.
• The grass used should be erosion resistant and can tolerate frequent
inundation (standing water). Tall fescue is an appropriate choice.
• The grass should be mowed periodically (usually when mowing the rest of the
property). To maintain the filtering capability of the grass, it should not be
mowed to closer than 4" to the ground.
• The ground should be inspected to make sure there is dense growth on all
portions of the control device. Bare spots or areas where there is sparse
grass cover should be reseeded.
Constructed Wetland
Forebay Area
• The forebay helps to trap the majority of suspended solids to prevent the
sediment from entering the wetland area and suffocating the plantings. When
sediment deposition in the forebay exceeds its designed sediment storage
capacity, the forebay should be cleaned out.
Wetland Area
• Sediment accumulation should be monitored in the wetland area as well.
When sediment deposition equals six inches or more the sediment should be
removed. The wetland plantings that are destroyed during the cleanout are to
be replaced.
Water Balance
• The wetland must be able to sustain water and to provide a certain level of
inundation after storm events. If the wetland is not sustaining an adequate
water balance adjustments will be need to be made to the outflow rates. The
slow release outlet should be equipped with a valve to control the water levels
in the wetland.
It may be necessary to periodically irrigate the wetland if the wetland is
unable to sustain a water level that is conducive to wetland plant growth.

Plantings
Replace plantings that are dead, diseased, or otherwise have failed to
establish. (if replacing plantings frequently, the planting soil may need to be
tested. Make sure that the plantings used are to able withstand the wetland
environment).
• Pruning and weeding the wetland may be aesthetically desired.
• Make sure that all loose vegetation is removed from the wetland so as not to
interfere with functionality.
Bioretention Areas
General
Verify that there is discharge from the underdrain when water is ponded in the cell.
When the water level is above the filter bed, check the outlet area to ensure that the
bioretention cell is functioning. If there is no discharge from the outlet, the system is
nonfunctional and corrective maintenance is needed immediately to restore draw
down. The overflow structure should be inspected to ensure it is not blocked with
debris and is functioning properly. In general the following should be noted:
• Mowing/landscaping activities on the property should to be conducted in such
a way to prevent lawn and plant clippings as well as eroded sediment from
entering the bioretention cell.
Efforts should be made to reduce the amount of the debris entering the
bioretention area. Accumulated paper, trash, and debris should be removed
from the bioretention area.
• The bioretention area should remain clear of trash and debris to preserve the
draw down rate and stormwater treatment function of the cell. The type of
debris removed should be noted and their possible sources identified.
Filtration Performance
If the drawdown time of the filter bed is greater than the design drawdown time
corrective maintenance is needed. Corrective maintenance to restore proper
drawdown time and stormwater treatment performance of the filter bed includes:
1. Clean out the underdrain system.
2. Remove mulch and top few inches of planting soil and replace. The clogged
material should be replaced with new material of the original specifications.
Town of Smithfield, North Carolina
BMP Maintenance Plan 5 of 9

BMP Maintenance
3. If appropriate draw down time cannot be restored then replace the filter bed
and under drain system.
Sedimentation/Diversion Chambers
• The sedimentation/diversion chamber should be cleaned out when sediment
levels exceed the design level or 12 inches accumulation depth.
• All inlets and outlets to the chamber should be inspected for blockage.
• Inspect filter strips and channels for bare areas, rill or channel erosion.
• A robust grass cover for the pretreatment areas must be maintained. Bare
areas and eroded areas should be seeded or sodded immediately.
Plantings
• Replace plantings that are dead, diseased, or otherwise have failed to
establish. (If replacing plantings frequently, the planting soil may need to be
tested. Make sure that the plantings used are to able withstand the wetland
environment)
0 • Pruning and weeding the wetland may be aesthetically desired.
•
• Make sure that all loose vegetation is removed from the wetland so as not to
interfere with functionality.
Mulch Layer
• Mulch needs to be reapplied in areas where erosion has displaced the mulch
It will be necessary to replace the mulch layer every year when the mulch
decays. The thickness of mulch should be approximately 3 inches.
Planting Soil
• Test the pH and toxicity of the soil annually. To keep plantings healthy, the
planting soil shall be tested once a year to determine if the pH is in the
acceptable range. If the pH is low than lime should be applied; if the pH is
high then iron sulfate can be used.

General
Sweeping paved areas on a periodic basis will help to extend the life of the filter by
reducing the pollutant load and debris entering the filter. The following inspectiont

Town of Smithfield Storm Water Program BMP
Maintenance and Inspection Agreement
General
The maintenance agreement provides for specific and ongoing inspection and maintenance of the
facility as outlined by Attachment _ to the satisfaction of the Storm Water Administrator. The
Town will have access t o a 11 BMP(s) and conduct periodic inspections as necessary to verify
conformance to the maintenance program.
I understand that every effort shall be made to reduce the pollutant load entering a BMP system.
Outside trash dumpsters will be kept covered, and the area around the dumpster will be kept neat
and clean. Chemicals, petroleum products and other pollution sources will be stored in a covered
area away from possible storm water contact. Spent chemicals will be properly disposed or
recycled. Fertilizers and pesticides will be used conservatively on the property grounds. The
area draining to the 13MP pond will remain stabilized to prevent excessive sediment from entering
the BMP facility. Trash and vegetative floatables (grass clippings, leaves, limbs, etc.) will be
cleaned from the pond surface and surroundings.
I, , hereby acknowledge that I am the financially responsible party
for maintenance and inspection of this facility. I understand the intent of this agreement as
described above and will perform the maintenance as outlined by Attachment (enclosed and

Wet Detention Facilities
Regulated Facility
Facilities regulated under the NC Dam Safety Law must provide the Town a copy of the
approval letter from Dam Safety prior to construction as well as a certificate of approval
to impound water once construction is completed prior to impounding water. Facilities
regulated under the North Carolina Dam Safety Law should provide the Town a copy of
the notification list, evacuation plan, and emergency access road.
Embankments
• Embankments should be kept well vegetated. It may be necessary to install temporary
erosion control (such as hay bales or silt fence) along heavily eroded areas to allow the
repaired areas to stabilize. It is especially important to inspect for and immediately repair
any erosion on the dam embankments.
• Specific attention should be directed to the upstream slope, groin, crest, downstream
slope, abutments, and toe.
• Mow embankment and side slopes at least twice a year. Vegetation over 18 inches high
should be cut unless it is part of planned landscaping.
• Periodic removal of dead vegetation should be accomplished.
• Pipe Inlet and Outlet areas
•
• Where erosion causes the undercutting of the downstream end of pipe, the undercut
should be stabilized immediately to prevent the end pipe section from "breaking" off.
Eroded areas should be filled with good compactable soil and covered with a geotextile
fabric and riprap.
Principal and Emergency Spillway
• Principal and emergency spillways should be inspected on a quarterly basis and after
every significant storm event to assure proper hydraulic function.
• If a riser/barrel is used for the principal spillway, a trash rack is to be maintained on the
riser. Vegetative growth in the riser should be removed promptly so that the design of
the spillway is maintained. Also, the outlet area where the barrel projects from the fill
should be clear of tree limbs, sediment accumulation, etc.
• Draw -down devices should be operated once a year.
• All structures should be inspected for joint deterioration, improper alignment, and cracks.
• Seepage should be measured and described. (Muddy water means soil loss.)

0 Toe Drains
• Inspect quantity and quality of flow.
Piezometers
• Maintain records ' to monitor the phreactic surface through the dam. Information
accumulated from long term records indicate changes in screens, clogging, etc.
• Keep covered to minimize vandalism and varmint intrusion.
• Protect from mowing.
Open Channel Flow
• Eroded areas should be seeded and/or sodded and protected as necessary. If erosion
continues, a more robust lining should be used.
• Monitor changes in receiving channel.
Downstream Area
+ Changes in downstream development can change hazard classification and intended
spillway performance requirements of a structure. Any changes downstream to flood
plain characteristics and stream channel should be reported to the Town.
0 Sediment
•
+ A benchmark for measurement of sediment accumulation should be installed.
• When sediment deposition in the forebay exceeds the designed sediment storage capacity
for the forebay, the forebay must be cleaned out. An indication of when the forebay
sediment capacity is exceeded is when sediment bars are visible near the inlet discharge
or when the sediment level at the inlet to the pond is less than one foot below the normal
pool surface.
Algae Growth
+ Consider chemical treatment by alum if algal blooms are a problem.
• Algae should be removed or treated with approved chemicals as needed.

Grass Swales and Filter Strips
• After initial seeding, the grass should be watered, as needed. Fertilizers and pesticides
should not be over -applied. Refer to product directions for correct application quantity.
• The grass used should be erosion resistant and can tolerate frequent inundation (standing
water). Tall fescue is a recommended choice.
• The grass should be mowed periodically (usually when mowing the rest of the property).
To maintain the filtering capability of the grass, it should not be mowed any closer than
4" to the ground.
• The ground should be inspected to make sure there is dense growth on all portions of the
control device. Bare spots or areas where there is sparse grass cover should be reseeded.

Constructed Wetland
Forebay Area
The forebay helps to trap the majority of suspended solids to prevent the sediment from
entering the wetland area and suffocating the plantings. When sediment deposition in the
forebay exceeds its designed sediment storage capacity, the forebay should be dredged
out.
Wetland Area
Sediment accumulation should be monitored in the wetland area as well. When sediment
deposition equals six inches or more the sediment should be removed. The wetland
plantings that are destroyed during the cleanout shall be replaced.
Water Balance
• The wetland must be able to sustain water and to provide a certain level of inundation
after storm events. (If the wetland is not sustaining an adequate water balance
corrections will be made in order to adjust the outflow rates). The slow release outlet
should be equipped with a valve or adjustable weir to control the water level in the
wetland.
• It may be necessary to periodically irrigate the wetland if the wetland is unable to sustain
a water level that is conducive to wetland plant growth.
Plantings
• Replace plantings that are dead, diseased, or otherwise have failed to establish. (If
replacing plantings frequently, the planting soil may need to be tested. Make sure that
the plantings used will withstand the wetland environment).
• Pruning and weeding the wetland may be aesthetically desired.
• Make sure that all loose vegetation is removed from the wetland so as not to interfere
with functionality.

Bioretention Areas
General
Verify that there is discharge from the underdrain when water is ponded in the cell. When the
water level is above the filter bed, check the outlet area to ensure that the bioretention cell is
functioning. If there is no discharge from the outlet, the system is nonfunctional and corrective
maintenance is needed immediately to restore draw down. The overflow structure should be
inspected to ensure it is not blocked with debris and is functioning properly. In general the
following should be noted:
• Mowing/landscaping activities on the property should be conducted in such a way to
prevent lawn and plant clippings as well as eroded sediment from entering the
bioretention cell.
• Efforts should be made to reduce the amount of the debris entering the bioretdntion area.
Accumulated paper, trash, and debris should be removed from the bioretention area.
• The bioretention area should remain clear of trash and debris to preserve the draw down
rate and storm water treatment function of the cell. The type of debris removed should be
noted and their possible sources identified.
Filtration Performance
If the drawdown time of the filter bed is greater than the design drawdown time corrective
maintenance is needed. Corrective maintenance to restore proper drawdown time and storm
water treatment performance of the filter bed includes:
1. Clean out the underdrain system.
2. Remove mulch and the top two inches of planting soil and replace. The clogged material
should be replaced with new material of the original specifications.
3. If appropriate draw down time cannot be restored then replace the filter bed and under
drain system.
Sedimentation/Diversion Chambers
• The sedimentation/diversion chamber should be cleaned out when sediment levels exceed
the design level or 12 inches accumulation depth.
• All inlets and outlets to the chamber should be inspected for blockage.
• Inspect filter strips and channels for bare areas, rill or channel erosion.

•
• A robust grass cover for the pretreatment areas must be maintained. Bare areas and
eroded areas should be seeded or sodded immediately.
Plantings
• Replace plantings that are dead, diseased, or otherwise have failed to establish. (If
replacing plantings frequently, the planting soil may need to be tested. Make sure that
the plantings used are to able withstand the wetland environment)
• Pruning and weeding the wetland may be aesthetically desired.
• Make sure that all loose vegetation is removed from the wetland so as not to interfere
with functionality.
Mulch Layer
Mulch needs to be reapplied in areas where erosion has displaced the mulch. It will be
necessary to replace the mulch layer every year when the mulch decays. The thickness of
mulch should be approximately 3-4 inches.
Planting Soil
• Test the pH and toxicity of the soil annually. To keep plantings healthy, the planting soil
shall be tested once a year to determine if the pH is in the acceptable range. If the pH is
low, then lime should be applied; if the pH is high, then iron sulfate can be used.
