Phase 2 permit #NCS000454 Village of Wesley Chapel

From: "Bill Pugh" <B Pugh@ centralina.org>
Date: Thu, I Sep 2005 17:21:37 -0400
To: <[e-mail]>
Hi Mike,
I spoke with you on the phone Wednesday afternoon. I handle planning administration for the Village of
Wesley Chapel and am working on their Phase 2 stormwater permit.
On behalf of the Village, I am requesting an extension of at least 30 days to submit comments on the
permit to your office.
We are thinking of requesting changes, possibly using a general permit instead of a specialized one. The
questions that I currently have are:
• Would it be possible to go with a general permit at this point?
• If the Village does go with a general permit, when would we have to submit a Stormwater
Management Plan?
• Also, are there many communities that are going the general permit route? I am especially
interested in small communities that don't offer many services, such as maintaining roads.
Thanks for your help. Please let me know if there is a problem with granting the Village of Wesley
Chapel an extension.

By means of this letter, the Village of Wesley Chapel requests a Phase II Stormwater
Program NPDES General Permit #23. The Village meets each of the following required
criteria:
■ It is not located in any of the 20 coastal counties,
(Wesley Chapel is located in Union County)
■ It is not subject to Total Maximum Daily Load requirements for impaired
waters,
(There are no listed or proposed impaired waters within the Village.)
■ The community has a population of fewer than I6,500 residents
(The NC State Demographic Office 2004 population estimate is 3,923
persons)
• It employs the Division of Land Resources program to meet the construction
site runoff control minimum measure required by the Phase II program.
The Village of Wesley Chapel submitted an individual permit application in 2004, which
has been designated as NPDES Permit Number NCS000491. However, since the
Division of Water Quality made the General Permit available this year, the Village has
decided that it would prefer to be covered by the General Permit rather than an individual
permit.
We look forward to issuance of a General Permit, so that we can continue
implementation of our Phase 2 stormwater program.

1. STORM SEWER SYSTEM INFORMATION
1.1 Population Served
The 2000 Census permanent population for the Village of Wesley Chapel is 2,549
persons. There is no reported seasonal population to which could be added to the
overall population. The municipality used the website of the United States Census
Bureau as well as Factfinder.com to establish as basis for our population estimates.
1.2 Growth Rate
The population growth rate for the Village of Wesley Chapel was based on the
relative change between the US Census population in 1990 and 2000. The
Village incorporated in 1998, so the 1990 Census population is an approximation
based on the census tracts of the incorporated area. The estimated population in
1990 was 1,018 and 2,549 in 2000. This represents a 150.39% increase over ten
(10) years, with an approximate annual rate 9.6%.
1.3 Jurisdictional and MS4 Service Areas:
The current jurisdictional and MS4 service areas for the Village of Wesley Chapel
are 8.82 square miles.
1.4 MS4 Conveyance System: The Village currently uses pipes and open channels to
control the flow of water during a storm. However, the coverage of pipes and
open channels are not found throughout the Village. The current system of pipes
and channels does perform at an adequate rate but may be negotiated during a
large outfall event. Maintenance is perfonned by NCDOT as needed for pipes
and open channels along state -maintained roads within the Village limits. The
Subdivision Ordinance requires that all streets constructed by private developers
have curb and gutter stone water systems. The Stor nwater Ordinance requires
structural BMPs to handle storm water runoff for developments that create over
20,000 square feet of impervious areas are required.
1.5 Land Use Composition Estimates:
Residential 98.2%
Commercial
1 .8%
Industrial
0%
Open Space
0%
1.6 Estimate Methodology:
The methodology used to determine the percentages of land uses in the Village
was to use a G1S and select the parcels of all non-residential uses in the
municipality. We then calculated the total areas of these land uses as a percentage
of the total municipal corporate area. This was not difficult because there are
very few commercial and institutional uses and no protected open space.
Commercial land uses include institutional uses such as churches, schools and
public safety stations. Open space is defined as protected open space only.

Although there are agricultural land uses in the Village, they are not protected and
we counted them as residential. Overall, the municipality is characterized by low
density residential development.
1.7 TMDL Identification:
The Village 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 Village 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 Village
hall, fire department, and school. The web site is targeting residential and
commercial persons within the Village and those persons/businesses wishing to
locate within the Village and gain a more in-depth understanding of storm water.
The Public Meeting is targeted to gain the majority of the residences and business
within the Village to have the opportunity to listen and have their concerns
addressed by the proper officials. School -aged children are the target for all in -
school education programs. However, it is the goal of the programs to encourage
interaction between children and their parents through education.
7.1.3 Target Pollution Sources:
Pollutant sources targeted with the annual mailing are those which
produce trash, chemicals and waste oils, fecal coli form and sediment and erosion
control. The fact sheets and brochures will encompass all pollutant sources; trash,
car washing, disposal of household chemicals and oils, and lawn care products.
Septic systems shall be address as a target pollutant source for all BMPs
mentioned above.
7.1.4 Outreach Program:
The public will be informed at least 25 days prior to the public meeting
and participation in open discussion will be strongly encouraged. The school
programs shall include Adopt -A -Stream and stenciling of storm drains and will be
made available to all residents of the Village for extended outreach participation.
The annual mailing will present general information as well as good
housekeeping measures that can be performed on a household level. The
stormwater webpage on the Village's website will give contact information in
addition to any documents related to storm water. It is the goal of the Village that
through the aforementioned BMPs that 80% of the general public within the
Village will gain access to storm water information.
7.1.5 Decision Process:
The Village decided to use the aforementioned methods because it
presents the most efficient and effective educational outreach. Furthermore, the
Village chose the goals to which they felt would gain the broadest audience while
allowing for interaction between the Village officials and the general public. The
responsible parties for implementing BMPs 1-5 are the Village Clerk and Planner.
The Village Clerk is the most visible link between the public and Village 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 Village Clerk and the Planner that
the school educational programs will be developed and implemented.

7.1.6 Evaluation:
The Village plans to evaluate the program based on public feedback.
Internally the Planning Board, Village 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.

7.2.2 Target Audience:
The target audience for all BMPs mentioned above is for the entire
Village.
7.2.3. Participation Program:
7.2.3.1 Adopt -A -Stream:
Will allow persons and homeowners associations to become involved at a
level that they are comfortable with as well as giving the flexibility of
participation.

7.2.3.2 Storm Drain Stenciling:
Allows a more hands on approach but on a smaller, less intense
participation demand than the Adopt -A -Stream and Adopt-A-Greenway
programs.
7.2.4 Decision Process:
The Village 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 Village
feels as though there will be much support among the civic organizations,
homeowners associations, local businesses, the school and individuals.
The education for the benefits of such programs and their affect on storm
water will be included for the school and Village hall through the
brochures and website. The stenciling program is aimed more toward
informing the public that you should think twice before pouring, washing,
dumping or adding anything to our storm drains. The Adopt -A -Stream
program is supported by the state and it is the intention of the Village to
utilize the available educational materials and implementation strategies.
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 Village.
Stenciling of the storm drains will be inspected on an annual basis and
maintenance done as necessary. A section will be included on the
Village's website to allow for comments and suggestions regarding the
programs. The degree of pride our residents display in our Village will be
evident through their participation in maintaining the necessary natural
controls for storm water.

7.3.2 Storm Sewer System Map:
The Village 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 storm water detentions and storm drains. The
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 Village amending and implementing a
comprehensive storm 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 Village's suggested approach to detect and eliminate illicit discharges
and connections will begin with a primary evaluation of the current
system. Given our storm sewer map will be divided into quadrants, this
will allow for ease of inspections while maintaining a methodical and
organized approach to detection. Upon detection of illicit discharge or
connection, the property owner will be notified or the necessary steps
required remediating the situation. However, the Village does not
currently have the staff to perform the inspections effectively. It is the
goal of the Village to either hire inspection staff or contract services
through an outside consultant.
7.3.5.1 Procedures for locating Priority Areas:
The division of the storm sewer map will be used to perform field
inspections of more aging systems within the Village and will be
denoted on the map. Moreover, on -site inspections may be
conducted in conjunction with annual Fire Department Hazardous
Materials inspections.
7.3.5.2 Procedures for Tracing the Source:
The Village 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
the violation. In case of fecal coli form discharge, the Union
County Health Department shall be notified immediately.
7.3.5.4 Procedures for Evaluation of Plan:
The number of violations reported will be documented and the
number of those violations remedied will be documented. A
percentage will be determined of violations in comparison to
remediations.

Fundraising car washes will be allowed but in limited numbers and
suitable places shall be defined. Furthermore, commercial irrigation
systems shall be allowed but must utilize organic fertilizers and pesticides
whenever possible.
7.3.8 Outreach:
It is the main goal of the Village to infonn 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 Village. Through
12

mapping, development of an ordinance and training of employees, the
Village hopes to establish a base for which the detection and elimination
can follow.
7.3.10 Evaluation:
The Village 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 Village 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 permit, in addition to the
North Carolina General Construction Permit for its construction activities.
7.4.1 BMP Summary Table:
Pre- A pre -construction X X X X X Planner &
Construction' meeting will be Village
Meeting conducted through the Clerk
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 Village's attorney stating that each builder/developer was made
aware of any and all storm water regulations and intends to comply with all. The
recorded document will be kept with the Village Clerk and the Planning
Department.
7.4.3 Plan Reviews: All plans will be reviewed by the planner as well as the
contract engineer. All comments shall be returned to the builder/developer for
amendments to be made accordingly before resubmittal.
13

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 permits and civil penalties. The Village 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 permits.
7.4.7 Decision Process:
The Village felt as though this BMP was the most direct and effective
measure to ensure communication of current storm water regulation and
requirements. The planning staff will educate builders/developers not only on the
rule and regulations but educate them on the reason for the importance of
understanding storm water. It is only through education can the Village hope to
achieve its goal of reducing and improving the quality of storm water.
7.4.8 Evaluation:
Evaluation of the program will come from a survey that the
builders/developers will complete upon finishing the meeting. Furthermore,
success ofthe BMP will be determined by the number of violations conducted by
those persons who participated in the pre -construction meeting.
7.5 POST -CONSTRUCTION STORM WATER MANAGEMENT IN
NEW DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT
Program Requirements: At a minimum you must:
Develop, implement, and adopt by ordinance a post -construction storm
water management program to address post -construction runoff from new
development and redevelopment. This shall include 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.
i Develop and implement strategies which include a combination or
structural and/or non-structural best management practices appropriate for
your community;
U

Begin program implementation by May 10, 2009;
The program shall require all projects that meet the appropriate size
limitations to apply for a locally issued permit under one of the following
parameters:
• 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 stone 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 storm water treatment systems used to meet the
requirements of the program shall be designed to have an 85%
average annual removal fro Total Suspended Solids (TSS).
3. All BUA shall be at a minimum of 30 feet landward of all
perennial and intermittent surface waters.
4. The permit shall require recorded deed restrictions and
protective covenants to ensure that development activities maintain
the development consistent with the approved project plans. The
changes in deed restrictions and protective covenants will
supercede all existing restrictions and covenants.
Ensure adequate long-term operation and maintenance by the owner of
BMPs. The program shall include requirements that the owner of a
permitted structural BMP, submit annually to the local program, a
maintenance inspection report on each structural BMP. The inspection
shall be completed by a qualified professional; and
A program shall be developed to control, to the maximum extent
practicable, the sources of fecal coli form.

Alternative detention systems are encouraged, final approval of
system must come from Village's contract engineer.
7.5.3 Structural BMPs
Current development standards state those developments which
exceed 20,000 square feet of impervious area to control the pre -
development runoff discharge from the 2 year and 10 year design
storm events. Alternative detention systems are encouraged, final
approval of system must come from Village's contract engineer.
7.5.4 Regulatory Mechanism
The goal of the Village is to develop its storm water ordinance post -
construction development controls will address the required elements of the North
Carolina temporary rules. Site design regulations and BMPs will be concluded
from those defined in the North Carolina model ordinance to be developed for
Phase 11 communities.
7.5.5 Operation and Maintenance
It is the Village's intent that all maintenance and inspections of structural
BMPs be the responsibility of the developer/builder/resident/homeowner's
association, whichever applies. A designated staff person for the Village will be
responsible for obtaining annual maintenance inspection reports from qualified
professionals. The aforementioned staff person will then report the number of
inspections, notifications and corrective actions completed in the annual report.
17

7.5.6 Decision Process
It is the goal of the Village to meet the minimum program requirements by
May 2009. Cooperative strategies between the Village and the Union County
Health Department will need to be developed to effectively address the matter of
containing fecal coli form bacteria.
7.5.7 Evaluation
Internal review of the program shall be conducted annually and changes
made accordingly, Any and all changes will be reported to DWQ immediately.
7.6 POLLUTION PREVENTION & GOOD HOUSEKEEPING MEASURES

Subject: NPDES Phase II 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 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 I1 is intended to further reduce adverse impacts to water quality and aquatic habitat by
instituting the use of controls on the unregulated sources of storm water discharges that have the greatest likelihood of
causing continued environmental degradation.
The NPDES Stormwater Phase II Final Rule requires nationwide coverage of all operators of small MS4s that are
located within the boundaries of a Bureau of the Census defined "urbanized area" based on the latest decennial Census.
The Bureau of Census has recently released data detailing the 2000 Census urbanized areas and using GIS data files
produced by the Bureau of Census, North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources staff has
compiled a list of municipalities and counties that we believe fall in whole or in part within one or more of the seventeen
census -designated urbanized areas in North Carolina.
We are writing to you to notify you that the Village of Wesley Chapel 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
Village of Wesley Chapel does not own or operate a small MS4. The deadline for submitting your application package
or non -ownership certification is 18 months from the date of this letter. Application and certification documents, as well
as additional information on the NPDES stormwater program, are available for download at our web site Our web
address is http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/stormwater.htm1. If you have any questions about this letter, please feel free to
contact me (919-733-5083, ext.525) or Darren England (919-733-5083, ext. 545)
Sincerely,
