ANNUAL NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM PERMIT NCS00434 REPORT-2020
(Revised July 27, 2016)
Currently, the City of Archdale is located in both Randolph County and Guilford County. The current
area and population in Randolph County is 11,733 and 7.73 square miles; Guilford County is 372 and
0.92 square miles. [Total is 12,105 and 8.65 square miles]
SECTION A: PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION
The City of Archdale currently maintains adequate funding and staffing of the individual components of
the ACE Integrated Stormwater Management Plan authorized by the City Council of Archdale during it's
regular session on December 18, 2007 upon the recommendations of the then newly established
Stormwater Advisory Board - which also acts as a specific conduit for citizen interaction, participation,
and involvement - and the current Stormwater Water Program Manager establishing initial authority
from the Clean Water Act of 1972. As part of the program, Mr. D. J. Seneres, PE, PWLF conducts a
minimum of an annual stop gap analysis using the State Representative, Ms. Jeanette Powell, as a
sounding board for upcoming changes related to a long time goal of spreadsheet column generated
reporting in a standardized template originating from a Local Government Information Model (LGIM).
This stop -gap analysis involves discussing each of the permit requirements establishing compliance has
been met for the year. Each year additional concepts are modified to enhance the already existing
program. No modifications of the initial ACE Integrated Stormwater Management Plan has occurred
since the inception of the program. Current letters approved by the City Attorney for violations indicate
that the maximum fine may be up to $51,575. Of course, the biggest challenge continues to be the
integration of software and resolving incompatibility issues between sources.
SECTION B: PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREACH
Through partnerships with the Piedmont Triad Water Quality Partnership, Stormwater Smart Program,
City of Archdale Creekside Park, and local schools, public education and outreach continue to be ever
present and typically addresses a minimum of four categories. Recognizing the most prolific pollutant in
the city is sediment transport, the sediment and erosion control program is an integral part of the
stormwater management. Information concerning the program is provided on the dedicated section of
the website but the most significant part of the dissemination of information comes from one on one
discussions with the citizens of Archdale. The Stormwater Program Manager spends considerable time
one on one describing introductions of pollutants into our water system as violations of the Clean Water
Act of 1972 and the consequenses of knowingly violating the Environmental Protection Agency
guidance. Since inception, 737 permits have been issued with an estimated total of 401.45 acres
disturbed (an average of 0.54 acres per site).
SECTION C: PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT AND PARTICIPATION
The Stormwater Advisory Board which meets a minimum of four times a year with the ability to call
special meetings continues to address changes associated with the Environmental Protection Agency
guidance and the State of North Carolina guidance. The Bush Hill Heritage Festival acts as our largest
gathering each year to provide information. With a minimum reported interaction of 11,585 people, we
estimate that we annually reinforce the importance of the ACE Integrated Stormwater Management
Plan to approximately 95.70 percent of our population. Flyers are available all year round in the main

lobby of City Hall, the Stormwater Program Managers' office, and other locations as the opportunity
presents itself. The Stormwater Program Manager maintains his personal cell phone as a Hotline for
citizens in addition to the Customer Service number.
Because the City of Archdale is a relatively small municipality, all activities related to environmental
stewardship can always be associated with an overall improvement of the system. Over the years,
through education and outreach, citizens call in when they notice inconsistencies in conflict with the
ACE Integrated Stormwater Management Plan and the overall charge of the Clean Water Act of 1972.
SECTION D: ILLICIT DISCHARGE DETECTION AND ELIMINATION (IDDE)
Our best quantitative measure to date is no recorded repeat calls associated with the same act and our
most reported IDDE offense is concentrated flow from downspout gutters directed perpendicular to a
lot line. Since inception, we take advantage of dry weather during daily rounds to identify sources of
flow as well as reports from citizens. The City of Archdale continues to foster good communication
between upper management as related to the pollution prevention and environmental stewardship.
SECTION E: CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROLS
SECTION F: POST -CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROLS
As indicated earlier in the report, the delegation of the Sediment and Erosion Control is an integral part
of our ACE Integrated Stormwater Management Plan. The clear advantage we have is that sites are seen
a minimum of five days a week during daily rounds. A current map of the 31 Stormwater Control
Measures in the city shows an even distribution along the main corridor of U. S. 311 South — North and
South Main Street in Archdale, North Carolina. Based on this current assessment 223.48 acres or 4.03%
of the jurisdictional area are designated as SCM's.
SECTION G: POLLUTION PREVENTION AND GOOD HOUSEKEEPING FOR MUNICIPAL OPERATIONS
Public Works Department coordinate regularly with the Stormwater Program Manager. However,
typical sources of pollutants that exists for most municipalities do not exist for Archdale. We do not
have a Vehicle Fleet Maintenance Facility, Transfer Station, Waste Treatment Facility, or Water
Treatment Facility. These types of facilities are outsourced through contracts. We do however, educate
personnel on through Human Resources on Personal Protection Equipment and MSDS Uses of Chemicals
and storage on site when applicable.
SECTION H: TOTAL MAXIMUM DAILY LOADS (TMDLs)
No current TMDL exist currently. Currently, there are no waterways in the corporate city limits on the
impaired waters list. As indicated above, Third Party inspections is a strategy designed to to expand the
efficiency of the program
SECTION I: ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF REPORTS [G.S. 143-215.11
Templates continue to be modified for reporting as guidelines continue to change.in accordance with
Section A through Section I of our current permit. All raw data is contained on the servers of the City of
Archdale as maintained by the Information Technology Manager.
