(Assignment of Stream Classifications). The impairment could be a result of any number of things. Salem Creek Fecal/Grants Creek is impaired for turbidity. The best thing is for us to do is to drive around the area and get a better feel for the types of land uses (i.e., commercial, agricultural, residential, industrial) that discharge to the stream. We would also like to learn more about specific efforts Walkertown has implemented to address the impairment within the scope of the six measures identified above. By having a discussion with the local government and through the review of the existing programs, opportunities to build on a current program can be identified and DWQ can determine the overall effectiveness of Statesville water quality protection programs. Ultimately, staff will present their recommendations for Phase II designation to the Environmental Management Commission's Water Quality Committee. If the designations are approved, they will go before the full EMC, r usually the next day. Currently, staff is looking at the EMC's Water Quality Committee meeting on May 11, 2011 for their initial presentation. Attached is a draft guideline being developed to help improve local government stormwater programs. Not everything in the guideline would be applicable to [the local government], but, it may give them some insight as to what we consider when we attempt to determine the effectiveness of local government's water quality protection programs. Also, attached is a brief presentation covering the six minimum measures addressed under a Phase II program pursuant to Session Law 2006-246 Section 7 and 40 CFR 122.34(b). We would very much like to meet with Walkertown so that we can learn more about and have a better understanding of the effectiveness of Walkertown's water quality protection programs, water quality of the receiving waters and whether the waters support the uses set out in the regulations.

Box 39 Walkertown, North Carolina 27051-0039 Subject: Request for Waiver Dear Mr. Davis; Pursuant to Session Law 2006-246, municipalities with a population of less than 10,000, are not required to obtain a Phase II National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for stormwater management unless the municipality is shown to be contributing to an 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 9 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. DWQ has reviewed the comments received, the requirements of state laws and administrative rules, the rights of the municipalities, and our mandate to protect public health and environmental quality. Based on that review, DWQ is granting the Town of Walkertown (populations less than 10,000) a waiver from the requirements otherwise applicable to municipalities that own or operate a municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) within an urbanized area. Pursuant to Session Law 2006-246, the Town of Walkertown may subsequently be required to seek coverage under an NPDES permit if circumstances change. w� N. C.

Also, A portion of the town (downtown and some outlying areas) received sanitary sewer in the last two years, allowing for more dense development, both now and in the future. It is difficult to comprehend how the intent of the Phase II Water Quality objectives would be enhances if Walkertown is not required to participate with the stormwater quality management program. The Walkertown jurisdiction, and their planning/zoning decisions, impact on downstream properties, which includes the Village of Clemmons.

Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission have reviewed the subject request and we are familiar with the habitat values of the area. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean Water Act of ] 977 (as amended), Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U_S.C. 661-667d), and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.). Municipalities with a population of less than 1,000 are not required to obtain a Phase 11 NPDES permit for stormwater management unless the municipality is shown to be contributing to an impairment of State waters. The Village of Alamance has a population of less than 1000 and has requested a waiver under this provision. The State may waive the requirements otherwise applicable to the municipality if the MS4 serves a population under 10,000 and they meet specific criteria. The Towns of Walkertown, Bermuda Run, Glen Alpine; the City of King; and the Village of Tobaccoville have populations of less than 10,000 and have requested a waiver. The NCWRC is very concerned about direct and indirect impacts of widespread urban growth, loss of headwater ecosystems, urban stormwater runoff and unmitigated stormwater issues, including aggravated flooding, on the aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources in North Carolina. The documented decline in freshwater species is a direct response to declining quality of our streams and rivers. For example, 21 % of freshwater fishes and 53% of freshwater mussel species in North Carolina are designated endangered, threatened, or of special concern at the state level (LeGrand et al. 2001). Federally endangered and threatened species are particularly affected by secondary and cumulative impacts associated with urban development due to their sensitivity to slight habitat alterations. The NCWRC will not oppose the issuance of a waiver for the Villages of Alamance and Tobaccoville; Towns of Walkertown, Bermuda Run, and Glen Alpine, and the City of King since no federally listed species are known to occur in these watersheds at this time. 1-lowever, we feel these Mailing Address: Division of Inland Fisheries • 1721 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1721 Telephone: (919) 707-0220 • Fax: (919) 707-0028 2-d %ueAJa 'J*S e8D:0T 90 20 Jew Page 2 2 March 2006 Request for Waiver waivers should be re-evaluated periodically. Should significant increases in population, degradation of water quality or aquatic habitat be found then the local municipality should be required to obtain a Phase II NPDES stormwater management permit. Although these municipalities may not be required to obtain a Phase II NPDES stormwater management permit, we encourage each municipality to work proactively to prevent ,",ater duality and aquatic habitat degradation that results from urban growth and development. We offer the following measures to help reduce impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources. More detailed information on each of these measures can be found in NCWRC's Guidance Memorandum to Address and Mitigate Secondary and Cumulative Impacts to Aquatic and Terrestrial Wildlife Resources and Water Quality (August 2002) which is located on the web at: htt J/�%-%vNN-.newildlife,or g07 Witdlifc5 eciesCon! 7c3 im acts. df 1. We recommend the maintenance or establishment of a minimum i 00-foot native forested buffer along each side of perennial streams and 50-foot native forested buffer along each side of intermittent streams and wetlands. Buffer width averaging may be appropriate due to existing contours and elevations if averaging provides the same overall acreage. 2. Delineation of streams should be conducted for the municipal service area according to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) or N.C. Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) methodology. This information can be found at h_tty://h2o_enr.state.nc_us/nc,,vetiands/stnnfrm.btml_ Stream delineation should occur prior to site clearing activities including tree removal. 3. Sewer lines, water lines, and other utility infrastructure should be kept out of riparian buffer areas (Knutson and Naef 1997; and references therein). Where practicable, utilities should follow the contours along the edge of floodplains. All utility crossings should be kept to a minimum. The directional bore (installation of utilities beneath the riverbed, avoiding impacts to the stream and buffer) stream crossing method should be used for utility crossings wherever practicable, and the open cut stream crossing method should only be used when water level is low and stream flow is minimal. A minimum 50-100 foot setback on all streams, lakes, and wetlands should be maintained. Pesticides should not be used for maintenance of rights -of -way within 100 feet of perennial streams and 50 feet of intermittent streams, or within floodplains and wetlands associated with these streams. 4. Commercial or residential development within the 100-year FEMA floodplain and jurisdictional water floodplains should be prohibited and entire floodplains should be protected as undisturbed forested areas. A no net Ioss of floodplain capacity ordinance is recommended. 5. To adequately protect streams, it is suggested that impervious surface is limited to less than 101/16. Suggested examples to accomplish the <10°/a impervious goal are using conventional designs at a level of <10% imperviousness or using conservation clusters with higher densities, with dedicated open space and other stormwater control measures to mimic the hydrograph consistent with an impervious coverage of less than 10%. 6. Use bridges for all permanent roadway crossings of streams and associated wetlands to eliminate the need to fill and culvert, where practicable. If culverts must be used, the culvert should be designed to allow passage of aquatic organisms. if multiple pipes or cells are used, at least one pipe or box should be designed to remain dry during normal flows to allow for wildlife passage. 7. We recommend that municipalities incorporate the following elements into their erosion and sediment control plans: minimize clearing and grading, protect waterways, phase construction for larger construction sites (>25 acres), stabilize soils as rapidly as possible (<2 weeks), protect steep slopes, establish appropriate perimeter controls, employ advanced settling devices, implement a certified contractors program, and regularly inspect erosion control measures.

Please be advised that this certification is accepted based wholly upon your evaluation. Division staff has not visited your facilities to obtain independent verification. Discharging stormwater from a small municipal separate storm sewer system covered by this program to the waters of the state without a valid NPDES permit will subject the responsible party to a civil penalty up to $25,000 a day. The Division encourages you to continue to keep abreast of the permanent rulemaking process associated with the NPDES Stormwater Discharge Program. The final North Carolina permanent rules as currently proposed would rely on factors other than ownership and operation to determine which public bodies need to seek permit coverage. It is possible that your jurisdictional area will be subject to stormwater permit coverage once the permanent rules are finalized. The Environmental Management Commission approved taking draft permanent rule language to public notice and public hearing at their February 13, 2003 meeting. The public hearings will be held during the month of April and you are encouraged to continue participating in the process. Note that this certification does not affect the legal requirement to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, Coastal Area Management Act, or any other Federal or Local government.

The Town of Walkertown has a permanent population of 4,065 (July 1, 2002 Official Estimate), There is no seasonal population. Although Walkertown is not far from Winston- Salem, the residents are mainly older and have lived in the community for many years. Walkertown is located in Northeastern Forsyth County, in an area that is still quite rural and undeveloped. Our growth rate is quite low. The Town of Walkertown has not annexed any territory in the past six years and none is planned. Walkertown has no industry and only a few stores. Walkertown provides garbage service and street lights as amenities for residents. No recycling. Our tax rate is low and our staff only has four paid employees: Town Manager, Town Clerk, Receptionist/Typist and a Maintenance Man. Our Town Hall was donated to us. Our water comes from the City -County Utilities Commission -- we are not a member of the Commission nor are any members of its Board from Walkertown. Walkertown has no sewer service at this point, but when it arrives it will also be handled by the City -County Utilities Commission. The United States Environmental Protection Agency defines MS4 in the Stormwater Regulations as a "conveyance or system of conveyances" including roads and municipal streets with drainage systems designed or used for collecting or conveying stormwater. The Town of Walkertown has no conveyances or systems of conveyances of any kind. None are planned. Walkertown does receive a small amount of Powell Bill funds for road construction, which are transferred to the NC Department of Transportation whenever any roads in Walkertown are to be paved or repaired. No streets have been paved in the past four years. Walkertown still has several unpaved streets; almost all streets that DOT paved for Walkertown 5177 Main street P. O.

The Town itself does not build, pave, repair or maintain any roads in our jurisdiction. While our maintenance man does pick up dead animals off all the roads, that is the limit of our road maintenance. Our roads in the Town of Walkertown have no catch basins, man-made channels, storm drains, pipes, ditches, drains, curbs and gutters, or sheet flow (?) — designed or used for collecting or carrying stormwater — nor do we maintain any of these. The Town of Walkertown tax rate of 14 cents (plus 6 cents for our fire districts) produces approximately $375,000 each year for town operations, almost entirely from residential property. Taxes have not been raised in six years and no increases are contemplated. This means that funds are limited for any new or expanded projects. The Town of Walkertown will of course cooperate with any area -wide stormwater programs that can be fitted into our Budget. -- - • • r •- State of North Carolina QF C u5E ONLY Dea'it[:wnt of Environment & Natural Resources Date Rer'd Divisie►i of Water Quality BIMS Cert.

BOX 398 WALKERTOWN, NC 27051-0039 Subject: NPDES Phase II Stormwater Program Tom Southern: In 1990 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Phase 1 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 I1 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 11 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 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. We are writing to you to remind you that the Town of Walkertown 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 Walkertown 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 .

From: Scott Snow [mailto:ssnow08@yahoo.com] Sent: Monday, February 14, 2011 4:51 PM To: phase2.info@ncmail.net Subject; Walkertown Stormwater Phase II designation On the behalf of the Town of Walkertown I would like to submit the following comments for consideration regarding the upcoming NPDES Phase I1 Stormwater designation review: The Town of Walkertown respectfully requests that the NCDENR Division of Water Quality continue the current waiver of NPDES Phase I1 permitting requirements granted to the Town of Walkertown in previous IC-17A VAWA . The Town of Walkertown has made considerable efforts to develop its own stormwater management procedures, and it feels these procedures will continue to be an adequate program for local stormwater management. Aspects of the Walkertown Stormwater management program includes the policy of adopting strict stormwater management requirements within our local UDO. The Town of Walkertown has adopted all stormwater management requirements for construction site and post construction development that have been previously adopted by the City of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County. The Town of Walkertown has developed an effective program for stormwater sewer facility maintenance. This includes regularly scheduled roadside ditch and gutter clearing which is important in controlling Stormwater pollutant runoff into local creeks and streams. The Town of Walkertown has also previously participated in the Piedmont Triad Water Quality Partnership program, and educational pamphlets and workbooks are available to the public as an educational resource. In closing, the Town of Walkertown would like to respectfully request that the NCDENR Division of Water Quality consider the efforts at Stormwater management it is currently undertaking, and to please consider renewing the waivers that are now in place. If you require any further information or have any questions, please To: SVC_DENR phase2 into<phase2.info(a nedenr.gov>; Scott Snow<ssnow08(u)yahoo.com> Cc: Bennett, Brad ley<bradley. hennett@ncdenr.gov>; Diuguid, Biil<bill.diuguid�u;ncdenr.guv>: Munger, Bridget<bridget.niunger(ri)ncdenr.gov> Subject: RE: Walkertown Stormwater Phase II designation Dear Mr. Snow, When determining the effectiveness of Walkertown's water quality protection programs and whether or not water quality would benefit from Walkertown implementing a Phase It Stormwater Program, the State would like to learn more about on certain measures that Walkertown is implementing, including: 1. Public Outreach 2. Public Involvement 3. Programs to address illicit discharges 4. Construction activities that may go beyond the S&EC Program administered the State or a Delegated Program 5. Post -construction stormwater management for new development and redevelopment 6. Stormwater housekeeping practices for government facility sites We also like to learn more about the water quality of the receiving waters and whether the waters support the uses set out in subsections (c), (d), and (e) of 15A NCAC 2B 0101 (Procedures for Assignment of Water Quality Standards -- General Procedures) and the specific classification of the waters set out in 15A NCAC 2B .0300, et seq. (Assignment of Stream Classifications). The impairment could be a result of any number of things. Salem Creek Fecal/Grants Creek is impaired for turbidity. The best thing is for us to do is to drive around the area and get a better feel for the types of land uses (i.e., commercial, agricultural, residential, industrial) that discharge to the stream. We would also like to learn more about specific efforts Walkertown has implemented to address the impairment within the scope of the six measures identified above. By having a discussion with the local government and through the review of the existing programs, opportunities to build on a current program can be identified and DWQ can determine the overall effectiveness of Statesville water quality protection programs. Ultimately, staff will present their recommendations for Phase II designation to the Environmental Management Commission's Water Quality Committee. If the designations are approved, they will go before the full EMC, usually the next day. Currently, staff is looking at the EMC's Water Quality Committee meeting on May 11, 2011 for their initial presentation. Attached is a draft guideline being developed to help improve local government stormwater programs. Not everything in the guideline would be applicable to [the local government], but, it may give them some insight as to what we consider when we attempt to determine the effectiveness of local government's water quality protection programs. Also, attached is a brief presentation covering the six minimum measures addressed under a Phase It program pursuant to Session Law 2006-246 Section 7 and 40 CFR 122.34(b). We would very much like to meet with Walkertown so that we can learn more about and have a better understanding of the effectiveness of Walkertown's water quality protection programs, water quality of the receiving waters and whether the waters support the uses set out in the regulations. If Walkertown would like to meet, I'm available to meet March 8'h, 9th, or 11'h, and March 14th -181h Mike Randall From: SVC_DENR.phase2.info Sent: Monday, February 21, 2011 11:07 AM To: Scott Snow Cc: Bennett, Bradley; Randall, Mike Subject: RE: Walkertown Stormwater Phase II designation Importance: High Dear Mr. Snow: Your request for a Phase II designation waiver on behalf of the Town of Walkertown has been received by the N.C.
