To: <[e-mail]>
I am acting as the interim Zoning Administrator for the Town of Weddington. The previous planner left
at the end of July, and the new one starts next week. I know that the Town HAS comments on the draft
permit, but now I'm not sure if they ever made it to you. (People have been pitching in right and left
since the previous planner left, and I'm really not sure what has been handled and what hasn't.) Did the
Town submit comments? If so, great! If not, we will need an extension, if possible. (It came to my
attention only yesterday that this might be an issue.) Thanks for your help.

MEMORANDUM
To: Nancy Anderson, Mayor
From: Stephen Sands, Bonnie Fisher, Craig Hamm
Date: July 20, 2005
Subject: Preliminary Comments on National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
Permit Application and Draft Storm Water Model Ordinance
USI Project No. 050212
This memorandum documents USI's draft comments and recommendations on the Town of
Weddington's draft NPDES permit and North Carolina Department of Natural Resources (DENR) model
Storm Water Ordinance. The comments are separated into sections for each document. Please note that
our comments were developed to the context of highlighting potential issues to staff and the Town of
Weddington elected officials. Subsequent discussions with staff and elected officials should occur as
soon as possible in order to determine the appropriate next steps to continue the NPDES storm water
permitting process for the Town of Weddington.
Town of Weddington Draft NPDES Permit
1. The Delegated Authority section of the permit application wasn't completed. Therefore,
Weddington's mayor will be responsible for all requirements of the NPDES permit including
enforcement actions, plan approval for post -construction, year-end reporting, etc. We believe a
better arrangement is for the Mayor to delegate authority to the Town Manager or designated
agent (Storm Water Administrator) similar to the proposed language in the storm water model
ordinance. The Town Manager and/or Storm Water Administrator can perform the day-to-day
operations with appropriate periodic reporting to the Town Council and Mayor.
Many of the permit elements have committed to completion of the element in the first years of the
permit duration. We believe that the Town may desire to re -visit the schedule commitments in
the permit application to re -negotiate some of these permit elements to later years. Specially, we
suggest the following:
a. Delay the completion of a Storm Sewer System Map to year 5 Progressive mapping will
occur during Years 1- 4.
b. Delay development of the website for public education until year 2 or 3.
c. Revise the date for implementation of the post -construction program to Year 3 (year
designated in the draft permit), instead of the specific date of May 10, 2009, as stated in
the Town's Stormwater Management Plan.
Additionally, we suggest an earlier development of the Storm Water Ordinance, either in the first
or second year of the permit implementation. We believe the ordinance should be in force before
the Town starts to actively solicit feedback from the public regarding storm water issues and
complaints.

The permit application section that describes the annual mailings for public education states that
responses will be tracked. However, we believe that the effectiveness of public education may
not necessarily be measured by responses initiated by the citizens of Weddington. If the Town
wants to measure the effectiveness of public education, then phone surveys or mailings initiated
by the Town may be more effective. In addition, we believe that the Town may consider the long-
term needs of customer service tracking in addition to tracking just the responses to the public
education efforts. We believe that a GIS database supporting a customer service phone line
should be developed to track all customer service requests regarding storm water including
flooding, erosion, pollution, etc. This service request tracking can be used by staff in future years
to ensure that the citizens of Weddington are being provided appropriate customer service by
tracking number of service requests, days that the service request is not resolved, method of
resolution, etc.
4. The public education section commits staff to holding a public meeting presenting the rules and
regulations for storm water controls. The schedule commits the Town of Weddington to hold that
public meeting in the first year of the permit term. We believe that a better application of a public
meeting would be during the adoption process of the new storm water ordinance, which is
scheduled to occur in later years.
The Outreach program suggests that schools will be performing Adopt -a -Stream efforts. Our
experience has shown that the school systems may be reluctant to perform Adopt -a -Stream efforts
because of the liability associated with children entering streams. We believe that the majority of
the Adapt -a -Stream efforts should be performed by businesses or organizations that are more
willing to accept the liability of entering stream channels.
6. The storm water system stenciling program suggests that stenciling is proposed. A stenciling
program has two benefits; warning the general public that the storm drainage system connects to
stream, creeks, and lakes, and also involving the volunteers through education when the stenciling
is performed. Our experience has shown that stenciling wears away within several years and can
be somewhat illegible if errors occur during the original application. We have found that placards
that are permanently affixed to the storm drainage system are more effective. The placards can
include several colors, are more visible to the public, last longer than stenciled lettering, are more
legible, and can include additional information such as the Town of Weddington logo and
customer service phone number.
7. The Adopt -a -Stream states that businesses will maintain streams. We believe that the use of the
word "maintain" may be over estimating the capabilities of the businesses. We typically expect
that Adopt -a -Stream efforts are limited to litter and debris clearing. Other maintenance such as
vegetation clearing, erosion protection, etc. may be more suited for municipal operations. In
addition, the Town of Weddington may want to consider a method to assist the Adopt -a -Stream
volunteers in providing designated staff and locations to coordinate picking up the collected
litter/debris.
8. The permit application commits the Town of Weddington to map the existing outfalls, receiving
streams, and storm water management systems beginning in year one of the permit period. We
believe that completing this effort in the first year may be aggressive. In addition, we have seen
numerous municipalities that have mapped their storm drainage system with minimal discussion
of the potential uses of the data and therefore have found that the data does not meet their needs
in later years. We believe that a key step before starting the storm drainage system inventory is to
identify the Town of Weddington's planned uses of the data so that the inventory effort can be
shaped to deliver a product that meets the Town's needs. The uses can include NPDES

compliance; modeling for flood improvement projects; customer service tracking and mapping;
drainage system value assessment; illicit discharge identification; etc. The Town should be aware
that the minimum mapping requirements include only stormwater outfalls to waters of the State.
However, performing stormwater mapping beyond the minimum requirements may be useful as
described above.
9. The illicit discharge identification description states that existing staff will identify illicit
discharges based on random inspections. Our experience indicates that illicit discharges can only
be identified after a period of dry weather, typically after three days; therefore, a random
inspection process may not be effective. We take this opportunity to highlight that 'other
resources may assist in identifying illicit connections including the private businesses during the
Adapt -a -Stream efforts (must include a training session for the private business staff; and infrared
photography (can identify heat sources and associated illegal cross -connections for an entire
geographical area). In addition, we emphasize that other municipalities have found that the
majority of effort and cost is associated with tracking the source of connection. The effort can be
somewhat reduced if a complete system inventory is available.
10. The incidental non -storm water discharge section states that "fundraising car washes" will be
allowed but in limited numbers and suitable places. Our experience with other municipal
programs is that most "fundraising car wash" efforts are reluctant to change the location of the
activities. We have found that an effective effort is to offer a municipal -funded structural BMP
such as hay bales or filter system to clean the wash water runoff. This approach includes the
added benefit of public education/involvement by educating the fundraising sponsor of the
importance of clean storm water and wash water runoff. A system to permit fundraising car
washes may need to be considered, but our experience has shown that permitting fundraising
activities is perceived as cumbersome and counter productive.
11. The construction site storm water runoff control section states the Town of Weddington will rely
upon the State's program for the majority of activities and the only new activity will be the
requirement of a pre -construction meeting. However, a later section infers that the Town of
Weddington will levy fines and civil penalties. We are not clear if the Town is proposing to be an
agent of the State program and levy fines for erosion and sediment control violations (we do not
recommend this approach because there will be a perception of overlapping and duplicative
operations and a clear understanding of Town versus State enforcement authority will be
challenging) or if the Town is proposing to levy fines for failing to attend the pre -construction
conference. The goals stated in the Town's storm water management plan on page 12 are beyond
what is required in the State's draft permit. The proposed activities are identical to what the State
already requires through its Sediment and Erosion Control Program. If the Town wishes to have
more authority in this area, they can "pursue local government implementation ...by requesting a
minor modification to the permit" (see page 7 of I 1 of the draft permit). Otherwise, we believe
that the Town would be satisfactorily served by relying upon the State's program for this
measure.
12. The post -construction storm water management section specifically commits the Town of
Weddington to specific numeric pollutant removals, impervious limits, etc. for individual site
developments. However, the model ordinance and Best Management Practices (BMP) manual
provides a method for a municipality to develop a watershed specific plan for post -construction
management, which may include regional structures and other watershed -wide applications. We
believe that this watershed -specific approach may allow the Town to have more flexibility and be
more effective in integrating the storm water requirements with other municipal initiatives such
as land use, economic development, park land, etc.
3

13. The post -construction storm water management section states that the Town of Weddington is
planning on delegating the BMP maintenance to the property owner. Our experience has shown
that many municipalities have struggled with this approach because most citizens believe that the
storm water system maintenance is more of a municipal responsibility. The Storm Water
Administrator has a better understanding of the engineering and pollutant removal mechanism
more than a citizens group and therefore can better direct a maintenance program. In addition,
most citizens do not have sufficient funding to perform the maintenance, so by financial default,
the municipality becomes responsible. The model ordinance suggests requiring a financial
assurance such as a bond to ensure the citizens can fund maintenance; however, we believe that
many citizens will complain significantly about the burden.
NCDENR Draft Model Ordinance
1. The commentary states that part of the model ordinance can be revised, as long as NCDENR
reviews and approves the revision. We believe that several revisions should be proposed
which are described in the following paragraphs.
2. The local jurisdiction may adopt this ordinance as a stand-alone ordinance or integrate the
ordinance into other existing ordinances. We believe that a stand-alone storm water
ordinance is clearer and more manageable with respect to the public, staff, and elected
officials.
3. Section 103 — Findings - states `These changes in stormwater runoff contribute to increase
quantities of water -borne pollutants and alterations in hydrology which are harmful to public
health and safety as well as to the natural environment..." We believe that the statement "are
harmful" may not be completely true and may expose municipalities to inappropriate liability.
We suggest revising the language to "may be harmful".
4. Section 104 — Purpose — states "to control the adverse impacts..." For similar reasons as
described in our comment number 3, we believe that the statement should be re -worded to "to
control the potential adverse impacts..."
The draft model ordinance states that the ordinance applies to the areas designated by a GIS
coverage. The draft NPDES permit application states that the permit coverage applies to
"current and future jurisdictional areas of the permittee". The differences may not be an issue
for the Town of Weddington, however, the Town may want to assess if there are plans to
implement "Extra Territorial Jurisdiction" and therefore determine if the permit requirements
and ordinance would apply to lands outside of the current Town limits.
The model ordinance designates the "Stormwater Administrator" as the delegated authority.
The permit application does not contain the same designated authority provision. The
differences may need to be reconciled.
The model ordinance includes a requirement that a list for the content and form of all
application shall be developed. In addition, a schedule of submittals and reviews and review
fees shall be developed. We believe that the content, form, schedule, and fees should not be a
requirement of an ordinance and be listed in a separate document that does not require Town
Council action for revisions.

The model ordinance requires that the applicant provides as -built plans of all projects before
a certificate of occupancy is granted. We believe that this requirement may be appropriate,
but believe that the Town should determine if requiring as-builts is a requirement that the
Town is willing to implement.
9. The model ordinance describes the method for appeals for violations. The method includes a
hearing with a quasi-judicial procedure and suggests the Board of Adjustments. We believe
that the Town should investigate using a similar process and the Board of Adjustments, and
avoid using the Town Council as the appeal board.
10. The model ordinance describes the specific design standards, imperviousness limits, etc. in
the document. We believe that some of the design standards may be refined as the BMP's are
implemented, and therefore the ordinance will be constantly refined which may be
cumbersome for the Town Council. We believe that documenting the design standards in a
separate document that is not adopted by the Town Council will create a system that is less
cumbersome for the Town Council.
] I. The design standards for stream buffers reference the USGS topographic maps that have been
shown to be inaccurate regarding the identification of jurisdictional streams. If a landowner
believes that the USGS topographic map is inaccurate, the model ordinance states that an
"on -site" determination can be made by the State or local Storm Water Administrator. We
believe the "on -site" determination is cumbersome. We believe that the State has recently
published more accurate jurisdictional stream coverage for the entire State that could be more
readily applied. If this coverage is not available, we suggest negotiating a contributing
watershed size as defining the limits of a jurisdictional stream.
12. The model ordinance describes the additional requirements for "on -site" wastewater
treatment systems (septic tanks). The requirements expand the existing County health
Department permitting requirements to include annual inspection and maintenance
requirements. We believe that the State may have gone beyond the regulatory requirements
and authority of the Phase 11 rules and may be placing requirements on point sources, not
non -point sources. Inspection and enforcement of septic systems can be a significant effort
for the Town.
13. The model ordinance states that the owner shall be responsible for inspection of all structural
BMPs to ensure that the structure functions as designed. The requirements include a
certification by a professional engineer, surveyor, or landscape architect. The inspection and
reporting of structural BMPs is a significant cost to the property owner and one that may be
better performed by a municipal staff member.
14. The model ordinance states that a sign shall be posted that lists the person that is responsible
for maintenance and annual inspection. We believe that this type of signage will be
aesthetically unpleasing and is not necessary.
15. The model ordinance presents the requirements of the illicit connection program, but does not
discuss enforcement, appeals, etc. We believe that a similar process as described in the post -
construction BMP section should be developed.

STORM SEWER SYSTEM INFORMAT[ON
1.1 i'opuiation Served
The 2000 Census permanent population for the Town of Weddington is
approximately 6,696 persons. There is no reported seasonal population to which
could be added to the overall population: The municipality used the website of the
United States Census Bureau as well as Factfinder.com to establish as basis for our
population estimates.
1.2 Growth Rate
The population growth rate for the Town of Weddington was based on the relative
change between the US Census population in 1990 and 2000. The reported
population in 1990 was 3,803 and 6,696 in 2000. This represents a 76.07%,
increase over ten (10) years, with an approximate annual rate of 5.8%.
1.3 Jurisdictional and MS4 Service Areas:
The current jurisdictional and MS4 service areas for the Town of Weddington are
15.96 square miles.
1.4 MS4 Conveyance System- The town currently uses pipes and open channels to
control the flow of water during a stone. However, the coverage of pipes and
open channels are not found throughout the town. The current system of pipes
and channels does perform at an adequate rate but may be negotiated during a
large outfall event. 'Maintenance is performed by NCDOT as needed for pipes
and open channels along state -maintained roads within the town limits.
1.5 Land Use Composition Estimates:
Residential 97.3%
Commercial
0.8%
Industrial
0.0%
Open Space
1.9%
I.6 Estimate Methodology:
The methodology used to determine the percentages of land uses in the Town was
to use a GIS and select the parcels of all non-residential uses in the municipality.
We then calculated the total areas of these land uses as a percentage of the total
municipal corporate area. This was not difficult because there are very few
commercial and institutional uses and protected open space. Commercial land
uses include institutional uses such as churches, schools and public safety
stations. Open space is defined as protected open space only. In March 2002, the
Town adopted zoning regulations to allow for Conservation Subdivisions. The
regulations require that 50% of the total tract to be subdivided be permanently
protected open space or conservation lands. Although there are agricultural land
uses in the Town, few are protected and we counted most of them as residential.
Overall, the municipality is characterized by low density residential development.

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

7.1.2 Target Audience:
The target audiences for the annual mailings are all property owners and
all developers and builders operating within the town limits. Developers and
builder contacts will be taken from zoning records of past year. The brochures
and fact sheets have a target audience of any persons which frequent the town
hall, fire departments, and schools. The web site is targeting residential and
commercial persons within the town and those persons/businesses wishing to
locate within the town and gain a more in-depth understanding of stone water.
The Public Meeting is targeted to gain the majority of the residences and business
within the town to have the opportunity to listen and have their concerns
addressed by the proper officials, School -aged children are the target for all in -
school education programs. However, it is the goal of the programs to encourage
interaction between children and their parents through education.
7.1.3 Target Pollution Sources:
Pollutant sources targeted with the annual mailing are those which
produce trash, chemicals and waste oils, fecal coh form and sediment and erosion
control. The fact sheets and brochures will encompass all pollutant sources; trash,
car washing, disposal of household chemicals and oils, and lawn care products.
Septic systems shall be address as a target pollutant source for all BMPs
mentioned above.
7.1.4 Outreach Program:
The public will be infonned at least 25 days prior to the public meeting
and participation in open discussion will be strongly encouraged. The school
programs shall include Adopt -A -Stream and stenciling of storm drains and will be
made available to all residents of the town for extended outreach participation.
The annual n-miling will present general information as well as good
housekeeping measures that can be performed on a household level. The
stormwater webpage on the town's website will give contact information in
addition to any documents related to storni water. It is the goal of the town that
through the aforementioned BMPs that 801N, of the general public within the town
will gain access to storm water information.
7.1.5 Decision Process:
The town decided to use the aforementioned methods because it presents
the most efficient and effective educational outreach. Furthennore, the town
chose the goals to which they felt would gain the broadest audience while
allowing for interaction between the town officials and the general public. The
responsible parties for implementing BMPs 1-5 are the Town Clerk and Planner.
The Town Clerk is the most visible link between the public and town officials.
The planner will provide the pertinent storm water information to be found in the
fact sheets, mailers, brochures.and web sites. It will be through the
communication and cooperative efforts of the Town Clerk and the Planner- that the
school educational programs will be developed and implemented.
2 u

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

7.2.2 Target Audience:
The target audience for all BMPs mentioned above is for the entire town.
7.2.3. Participation Program:
7.2.3. l Adopt -A -Stream:
Will allow persons and homeowners associations to become involved at a
level that they are comfortable with.as well as giving the flexibility of
participation.
7.2.3.2 Stone Drain Stenciling:
Allows a more hands on approach but on a smaller, less intense
participation demand than the Adopt -A -Stream prograrn.
7

7.2.4 Decision Process:
The town chose the aforementioned participation programs
because it allows the residents to choose their level of involvement and to
what extent they wish to participate. All the programs will allow the
participants to perform their duties without conflicting with their personal
schedule while achieving the overall goals of the programs. The programs
are proven and effective in neighboring municipalities and the town feels
as though there will be much support among the civic organizations,
homeowners associations, local businesses, schools and individuals. The
education for the benefits of such programs and their affect on stone water
will be included for schools and the torn hall through the brochures and
website. The stenciling program is aimed more toward inforining the
public that you should think twice before pouring, washing, dumping or
adding anything to our stone drains. The Adopt -A -Stream program is
supported by the state, and it is the intention of the town to utilize the
current educational materials and implementation strategies available.
7.2.5 Evaluation:
Evaluation of the programs will come from the feedback of the
community as well as walking the streams found within the town.
Stenciling of the storm drains will be inspected on an annual basis and
maintenance done as necessary. A section will be included on the town's
website to allow for comments and suggestions regarding the programs.
The degree of pride our residents display in our town will be evident
through their participation in maintaining the necessary natural controls
for storm water.

7.3.2 Storrs Sewer System Map:
The town will generate a GIS-based map as well as a paper copy which
will be maintained by the planning staff and available to the public. The
map shall include at minimum; location of outfalls and their receiving
streams, as well as existing storn water detentions and store drains. The
9

map will be delineated into quadrants in order to provide a basis for which
annual inspections can be performed.
7.3.3 Regulatory Mechanism:
Years 3 through 5 will have the town developing and implementing a
comprehensive stone water ordinance. The ordinance will make
provisions for definition, deterrents of illicit of illicit non -storm water
discharge, inspection of such discharge and elimination of such discharge
through enforcement and penalties.
7.3.4 Enforcement:
The ordinance will make provisions for enforcement strategies to be taken
for illicit discharge violations. The strategies may include fines and civil
penalties. The process shall first involve notification to the property
owner allowing ample time to rectify the illicit discharge and concluding
with issuance of notice of violations and fines.
7.3.5 Detection and Elimination:
The town's suggested approach to detect and eliminate illicit discharges
and connections will begin with a primary evaluation of the current
system. Given our stone sewer map will be divided into quadrants, this
will allow for ease of inspections while maintaining a methodical and
organized approach to detection. Upon detection of illicit discharge or
connection, the property owner will be notified or the necessary steps
required remediating the situation. However, the town does not currently
have the staff to perform the inspections effectively. It is the goal of the
town to either hire inspection staff or contract services through an outside
consultant.
7.3.5.1 Procedures for locating Priority Areas:
The division of the stone sewer map will be used to perform field
inspections of more aging systems within the town and will be
denoted on the map. Moreover, on -site inspections shall be
conducted in conjunction with the annual Fire Departments
Hazardous Materials inspections.
7.3.5.2 Procedures for Tracing the Source:
The town will train employees on illegal discharge and connection
identification. Given our limited staff and available resources
tracing the source of illicit discharge and connections will come
from public comments/complaints and random on -site inspections.
7.3.5.3 Procedures for Removing the Source:
Once an illicit discharge or connection has been discovered,
documentation of such violation will begin. The property owner
will be notified of the violation and the steps necessary to remedy
10

the violation. In case of fecal soli fore discharge, the Union
County Health Department shall be notified immediately.

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

7.3.10 Evaluation:
The town plans to perform internal evaluations using violations,
remediations, public feedback and input as means for success or failure of
the chosen BMPs. Should areas be found to produce less than desirable
results, then changes will be made accordingly and DWQ notified
immediately or any and all changes.
7.4 CONSTRUCTION SITE STORM WATER RUNOFF CONTROL
The town will continue to rely on the North Carolina Department of
Environmental and Natural Resources Sediment and Erosion Control Program
and Division of Water Quality general storm water pennit, in addition to the
North Carolina General Construction Permit for its construction activities.
7.4.1 BMP Summary `fable:
Pre- A pre -construction X X X X X Planner &
Construction meeting will be Town Cleric
Meeting conducted through the
planning department to
educate developers and
builders of current storm
water requirements.
7.4.2 Regulatory Mechanism:
A pre -construction meeting will be mandatory for all builders and
developers to complete annually. The meeting will inform builder and developers
of current storm water regulations, requirements, enforcement and penalties that
shall ensue for violations. Each builder and developer shall sign a document to be
drawn up by the town's attorney stating that each builder/developer was made
m aware of any and all storwater regulations and intends to comply with all. The
recorded document will be kept with the Town Clerk and the Planning
Department.
7.4.3 Plan Reviews: Ali plans will be reviewed by the planner as well as the
contract engineer. All comments shall be returned to the builder/developer for
amendments to be made accordingly before resubmittal.
12

7.4.4 Enforcement:
Enforcement shall come through random inspections to be performed by
either contract consultants or future hired staff. Penalties shall range from fines
levied, injunction of pen -nits and civil penalties. The town has not determined the
exact measures penalties will take on.
7.4.5 Inspections:
Random inspections shall be performed by either contract consultants or
future hired staff. A report of their findings shall be documented and maintained
with the planning department.
7.4.6 Public Information:
A notification letter will be mailed out to all builders and developers on
record with the planning department as of the previous two years. The letter will
state the nature of the meeting, date, time, place and need for participation in
order to receive future building pen -nits.
7.4.7 Decision Process:
The town felt as though this BMP was the most direct and effective
measure to ensure communication of current stone water regulation and
requirements, The planning staff will educate builders/developers not only on the
rule and regulations but educate them on the reason for the importance of
understanding storm water. It is only through education can the town hope to
achieve its goal of reducing and improving the quality of stonn water.
7.4.8 Evaluation:
Evaluation of the program will come from a survey that the
builders/developers will complete upon finishing the meeting. rurthennore,
success of the BMP will be determined by the number of violations conducted by
those persons who participated in the pre -construction meeting.
7.5 POST -CONSTRUCTION STORM WATER MANAGEMENT IN
NEW DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT
Program Requirements: At a minimum you must:
Develop, implement, and adopt by ordinance a post -construction store
water management program to address post -construction runoff from new
development and redevelopment. This shall include redevelopments
projects that disturb greater than or equal to one acre, as well as projects
less than one acre that are a part of a larger common plan of development
or sale, that -discharge into the MS4 or into an interconnected MS4.
Develop and implement strategies which include a combination or
structural and/or non-structural best management practices appropriate for
your community;
Begin program implementation by May 10, 2009;
13

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

Subject: NPDES Phase It Stormwater Program
2000 U.S. Census - Notification of Coverage
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 stormwater
runoff. The Phase II program expands the Phase 1 program by requiring additional operators of MS4s in urbanised areas
and operators of small construction sites, through the use of NPDES permits, to implement programs and practices to
control stormwater runoff. Phase It is intended to further reduce adverse impacts to water quality and aquatic habitat by
instituting the use of controls on the unregulated sources of storm water discharges that have the greatest likelihood of
causing continued environmental degradation.
The NPDES Stormwater Phase I1 Final Rule requires nationwide coverage of all operators of small MS4s that are
located within the boundaries of a Bureau of the Census defined "urbanized area" based on the latest decennial Census.
The Bureau of Census has recently released data detailing the 2000 Census urbanized areas and using GIS data tiles
produced by the Bureau of Census, North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources staff has
compiled a list of municipalities and counties that we believe fall in whole or in part within one or more of the seventeen
census -designated urbanized areas in North Carolina.
We are writing to you to notify you that the Town of Weddington has been identified as being located within a census
designated urbanized area. As a regulated community, you are required to develop a stormwater management program
and apply for stormwater permit coverage, if you own and operate a small MS4 or file a certification that the Town of
Weddington does not own or operate a small MS4. The deadline for submitting your application package or
non -ownership certification is 18 months from the date of this letter. Application and certification documents, as well as
additional information on the NPDES stormwater program, are available for download at our web site . Our web address
is http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/su/stormwater.html. 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)
