Dear Ms. Robbins;
Subject: Request for Waiver
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 Youngsville 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 Youngsville may subsequently be required to
seek coverage under an NPDES permit if circumstances change.
Although requirements to seek an NPDES Permit to administer the six minimum measures in 40
CFR 122.34 has been waived for the Town of Youngsville, beginning 1 July 2007, any new development
that cumulatively disturbs one acre or more of land located in the Town of Youngsville, must comply with
the standards set forth in Section 9 of Session Law 2006-246. The Division of Water Quality will
administer and enforce the standards for development unless local government (municipality or county)
requests delegation to administration and enforcement of the standards set forth in Section 9 of Session
Law 2006-246. DWQ believes this, along with existing stormwater programs implemented by the Town
of Youngsville, are adequate to protect the federally listed endangered dwarf wedgemussel in the Cedar
Creek watershed.
If you have any questions concerning this waiver or the post -construction requirements in
Session Law 2006-246, please contact me at 919/733-5083 ext. 545.
Sincerely,
Mike Randall

Dear Mr. Randall:
L� The following information is provided in response to your letter dated
. Septerri6er�6, 2006 regarding the Town of Youngsvillc's measures to protect the
�� .. federally listed endangered dwarf wedgemussel in the Cedar Creek watershed.
�i,The northern part of the Town is in the Cedar Creek watershed, generally
those areas cast of N.C. Highway 96 and north of Main Street/Tarboro Road. These
areas re primarily residential with the exception of the Youngsville Industrial Park
on US Highway 1 A, one industrial building on North Nassau Street and the Town
Hall and storage building on North Cross Street. These areas are routinely visited by
Town staff with an eye out for illicit discharges to storm drains and waterways. At
the Town's storage building, equipment and materials for the maintenance of the
water and sewer systems are stored along with mowing equipment, etc. N%Ihen
maintenance is needed on Town vehicles, it is done by a.contractor in another
location outside the Cedar Creek watershed. No hazardous chemicals are stored on
the site. The town actively pursues pollution prevention.
The industries located in the industrial park are Welsh Paper, Alcan
Packaging and Eastern Corporation, Welsh Paper and Alcan Packaging are both
primarily packaging companies. Eastern Corporation is a metal roofing company.
These would be considered clean companies that don't create polluted runoff from
their sites. The other occupants of the industrial park are offices for companies such
as Sprint Telephone, NCDOT, Majestic Marble and Franklin County Economic
Development Commission.

Dear Mr. Randall:
The following information is provided in response to your letter dated September 6, 2006
regarding the Town of Youngsville's measures to protect the federally listed endangered dwarf
wedgemussel in the Cedar Creek watershed.
The northern part of the Town is in the Cedar Creek watershed, generally those areas east of
N.C. Highway 96 and north of Main Street/Tarboro Road. These areas are primarily residential with
the exception of the Youngsville Industrial Park on US Highway IA, one industrial building on North
Nassau Street and the Town Hall and storage building on North Cross Street. These areas are routinely
visited by Town staff with an eye out for illicit discharges to storm drains and waterways. At the
Town's storage building, equipment and materials for the maintenance of the water and sewer systems
are stored along with mowing equipment, etc. When maintenance is needed on Town vehicles, it is
done by a contractor in another location outside the Cedar Creek watershed. No hazardous chemicals
are stored on the site. The town actively pursues pollution prevention.
The industries located in the industrial park are Welsh Paper, Alcan Packaging and Eastern
Corporation. Welsh Paper and Alcan Packaging are both primarily packaging companies. Eastern
Corporation is a metal roofing company. These would be considered clean companies that don't create
polluted runoff from their sites. The other occupants of the industrial park are offices for companies
such as Sprint Telephone, NCDOT, Majestic Marble and Franklin County Economic Development
Commission.
Under Session Law 2006-246, the Federal Phase II Stormwatcr Management Requirements will
be implemented and the 'Town of Youngsville will be subject to these requirements. We believe that
these requirements, along with the other measures the Town has implemented will protect the dwarf
wedgernussel from water quality problems due to polluted runoff within the jurisdiction of the Town of

Subject: Request for Additional Information
Pursuant to Session Law 2006-246, the State may waive the requirements to obtain a
Phase II National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit fo? stonnwater
management otherwise applicable to the municipality if the municipal separate storm sewer system
(MS4) serves a population of less than 1,000 and they meet the following. criteria:
➢ Their system is not contributing substantially to the pollutant loadings of a
physically interconnected MS4 that is regulated by the NPDES storm water
program; and
➢ if they discharge any pollutant(s) that have been identified as a cause of
impairment of any water body to which they discharge, storm water controls are
not needed based on wasteload allocations that are part of an EPA approved or
established'.'total maximum daily load" (TMDL) that addresses the pollutant(s) of
concern.
DWQ, in seeking comment to determine if the Town of Youngsville should be granted a
waiver, received comment that Youngsville is located within a watershed that supports federally
endangered species. The Town of Youngsville falls within the Cedar Creek watershed, within the
Tar -Pamlico River Basin, that supports the dwarf wedgemussel. Certain waters provide habitat for
federally -listed aquatic animal species that are listed as threatened or endangered by the U.S. fish
and Wildlife Service or National Marine Fisheries Service under the provisions of the Endangered
Species Act, 16 U.S.C. 1531-1544 and subsequent modifications. Maintenance and recovery of
the water quality conditions, required to sustain and recover federally listed threatened and
endangered aquatic animal species, contributes to the support and maintenance of a balanced and
indigenous community of aquatic organisms and thereby protects the biological integrity of the
waters.

DWQ is seeking additional information on whether the continued existence of the dwarf
wedgemussel may be adversely affected by the Town of Youngsville's stormwater discharges,
allowable non-stormwater discharges, and stornwater discharge -related activities (including BMP
installation) and what measures the Town of Youngsville has implemented or plans to implement
to protect the dwarf wedgemussel, or any identified critical habitat. Please provide the additional
information requested and your comments by Friday, November 3, 2006.

DATE: 27 February 2006
SUBJECT: Request for Waiver to Phase II National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Syst-
ao
�,
(NPDES) Permit for Stormwater Management for Towns of Rolesville,
Red 04
nd o
Youngsville.
jJ }
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 Clears Water Act of 1977 (as amended), Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48
Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d), North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 1 13-131 et seq.), and
North Carolina Administrative Code 15A NCAC 101.0102.
Municipalities with a population of less than 1,000 are not required to obtain a Phase II NPDES
permit for stormwater management unless the municipality is shown to be contributing to an impairment
of State waters. The Town of Rolesville 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 Red Oak and
Youngsville have populations of less than 10,000 and have requested a waiver.
It appears that portions of the Towns of Rolesville, Red Oak, and Youngsville are all located
within watersheds that support federally endangered species. Town of Rolesville falls within the Little
River watershed (Meuse River basin) that supports the federal and state endangered dwarf wedbemussel .
(Alasmidonla helerodon). Town of Red Oak falls within the Swift Creek watershed (Tar -Pamlico River
basin) that supports the federal and state endangered Tar spinymussel (Elliplio sleinslansana). Town of
Youngsville falls within the Cedar Creek watershed (Tar -Pamlico River basin) that supports the dwarf
wedgemussel.
The NCWRC is very concerned about direct, secondary and cumulative 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

Request for Waiver — Towns of Rolesville, Red Oak, and Youngsville
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 has provided comments on several Phase II Stormwater permits where federal
endangered species are known to occur. Although the Phase 11 stormwater rules represent an appropriate
baseline for proactively addressing stormwater issues, we believe additional, more protective measures
are required to preserve the existing uses and ecological integrity of North Carolina waters over the long-
term. Therefore, we feel that the request for waivers should be denied for the Towns of Rolesville, Red
Oak, and Youngsville. For those portions of the Towns that fall within watersheds where federal
endangered species are known to occur the following additional measures should be incorporated as
permit conditions.
1. Permits for new developments exceeding 6% imperviousness shall be required to include stormwater
controls designed to replicate and maintain the hydrographic condition at the site prior to the change
in landscape and at a minimum include provisions that satisfy WS 11-HQW minimum standards
(WSII-HQW waters as precedent; Schueler 1994; Arnold and Gibbons 1996; Doll et al. 2000; Mallin
et al. 2000; May and Horner 2000; Stewart et al. 2000).
2. Infiltration practices (e.g., reduced road widths, rain gardens, parking lot bioretention areas, increased
sheet flow instead of ditching, and disconnect impervious areas) to maintain predevelopment
hydrographic conditions shall be emphasized over detention ponds. Condition information should
include the base flow for low flow conditions.
A 200-foot native, forested buffer on perennial streams and a 100-foot forested buffer on intermittent
streams, or the full extent of the I00-year floodplain, shall be required for new developments. If
wooded buffers do not exist, then these areas shall be revegetated or allowed to naturally revegetate
(so long as the area is pervious) to increase the functionality of a forested buffer. (Knutson and Naef
1997, and references therein; 200-foot buffers on Randleman Lake;'200-foot buffers associated.with
protection of aquatic endangered species habitats required for Buckhorn Reservoir Expansion Project
in 1995 — City of Wilson).
4. 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 http://l12o.enr.state.nc.us/neweIlands/strmfrm.11tml. Stream delineation
should occur prior to site clearing activities including tree removal.
5. Commercial or residential development within the I00-year FEMA floodplain and jurisdictional
water floodplains should be prohibited and floodplains should be protected as undisturbed forested
areas.
6. Grassed swales shall be used in place of curb and gutter for new developments, except in areas with
>5% slope. Check dams, level spreaders, and other associated best management practices shall be
used to minimize the effect of stormwater runoff entering the riparian buffer areas. In areas where
slopes exceed 5%, stormwater collected in piped conveyance systems shall be directed away from
surface waters and best management practices shall be employed at both the intake and the outlet
areas.

Request for Waiver — Towns of Rolesville, Red Oak, and Youngsville
7. Direct discharges of stormwater to streams should not be allowed. Effective energy dissipation at the
pipe outlet shall be accomplished to prevent scour of the stream channel and buffer_ The ditching or
piping of stormwater except when used in combination with grassed swales, level spreaders and
check dams shall not be allowed in the riparian buffer. At no time should any mandated vegetated
buffer zone be used for these engineered devices.
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 and 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. A
minimum 100-200 foot setback on all streams, lakes, and wetlands should be maintained. Pesticides
should not be used for maintenance of rights -of -way within 200 feet of perennial streams and 100 feet
of intermittent streams, or within floodplains and wetlands associated with these streams.
9. Local governments shall encourage and offer incentives for new developments, as part of the
subdivision review process, to use low impact development technique for stormwater control (Low
Impact Development; EPA Document # 841— B-00-002 and 841-B-00-003); 'and reduce impediments
to implementing the plan. Proposed projects that are subject to NCEPA review shall identify as a part
of the subdivision review process anticipated impervious surface amounts prior to plat approval.
10. Municipalities should incorporate the elements listed below into their erosion and sediment control
plans (see Brown and Caraco 2000 for additional information).
a) Minimize clearing and grading.
b) Protect waterways by preventing clearing adjacent to waterways, and stabilize drainage ways.
c) Phase construction for larger construction sites (>25 acres).
d) Stabilize soils as rapidly as possible (<2 weeks).
e) Protect steep slopes, and avoid clearing or grading existing steep slopes as much as possible.
f) Establish appropriate perimeter controls.
g) Employ advanced settling devices.
h) Implement a certified contractors program.'
i) Perform regular inspection of erosion control measures, and sediment control devices.
11. In addition to the items listed above, locally enforced stringent erosion and sedimentation control
requirements shall be developed and implemented for all construction.- The development of these
requirements shall be fully coordinated with the state and federal agencies involved in aquatic
endangered species. protection. These measures shall be state -of -the -science and significantly exceed
state minimum requirements for sediment and erosion control. Local ordinances shall be developed
to prevent agricultural or forestry exemptions from turning into development opportunities.
12, Developers and builders, including land -clearing operators, shall be required to participate in a local
government stormwater and sediment erosion control education program. Certification and bonding
is recommended. .
13. Conservation Reserve Program lands and restoration of prior converted wetlands shall be encouraged
to help manage overall stormwater impacts as part of a regional integrated stormwater management
plan.
14. The local government shall solicit assistance and concurrence from resource agencies such as
NCDWQ, N.C. Division of Land Resources, NCWRC, N.C. Natural Heritage Program, and U.S. Fish

and Wildlife Service during the initial development and assessment of best management practices for
stormwater management, sediment and erosion control, utility placement, etc.
15. The local government shall provide an environmental check -off list that a developer must complete
before the issuance of development approvals or any land disturbance, including timbering, to ensure
protection of aquatic habitats for threatened and endangered species and that proper state and federal
permits have been obtained. This shall preclude the issuance of any subdivision plan, building, and
utility permits without inclusion of pertinent protective measures. This process shall ensure that land
clearing does not occur without a site plan, including erosion control.
16. A watershed impact evaluation board shall be established to review projects within the service area
with aquatic, endangered species. The board would ensure compliance, preview infrastructure and
development plans and be eligible to seek funding for conservation initiatives designed to protect and
preserve aquatic, endangered species.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on this request for waiver. If we can be of
further assistance, please contact Shari Bryant at [phone].

Town of Youngsville
Dear Mr. Randell,
We are perusing a waiver from the new NPDES, Phase If Stormwater requirements
under 40 CFR 122.32 e. We believe that we may possibly meet the criteria for a waiver for the
following reasons:
l . The population of the Town of Youngsville is less than 10,000 persons. It is only
1,.017 at this time.
2. Our stormwater system does not "contribute substantially to the pollutant loadings
of a physically interconnected MS4 that is regulated by the NPDES stormwater
program." Our system is not "physically interconnected" with any other municipal
storm water system. We may have interconnects with storm water structures
owned by NCDOT in highways NC 96 and US1-A.
3. Our system and NCDOT"s system in our area discharge to Richland Creek and
Little River in the Neuse River Basin and to Brandy Creek in the Tar/Pamilco
River Basin. None of these streams are listed as impaired on the 303(d) List of
Impaired Streams.
If additional information is needed in support of this request, please contract our office.
Sincerely,
Brenda T. Robbins
Town Administrator

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 II program expands the Phase I program by requiring additional operators of MS4s in urbanized areas
and operators of small construction sites, through the use of NPDES permits, to implement programs and practices to
control stormwater runoff. Phase 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 Town of Youngsville 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
Youngsville 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.ncIus/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)
