PART 1: INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) is to establish and define the means by which
the Town of Black Mountain will comply with its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit and the applicable provisions of the
Clean Water Act to meet the federal standard of reducing pollutants in stormwater runoff to the maximum
extent practicable.
This SWMP identifies the specific elements and minimum measures that the Town of Black Mountain
will develop, implement, enforce, evaluate and report to the North Carolina Department of Environmental
Quality (NCDEQ) Division of Energy, Minerals and Land Resources (DEMLR) in order to comply with
the MS4 Permit number NCS000422, as issued by NCDEQ. This permit covers activities associated with
the discharge of stormwater from the MS4 as owned and operated by the Town of Black Mountain and
located within the corporate limits of the Town of Black Mountain.
In preparing this SWAP, the Town of Black Mountain has evaluated its MS4 and the permit requirements
to develop a comprehensive 5-year SWMP that will meet the community's needs, address local water
quality issues and provide the minimum measures necessary to comply with the permit. The SWMP will
be evaluated and updated annually to ensure that the elements and minimum measures it contains
continue to adequately provide for permit compliance and the community's needs.
Once the SWMP is approved by NCDEQ, all provisions contained and referenced in this SWAP, along
with any approved modifications of the SWMP, are incorporated by reference into the permit and become
enforceable parts of the permit.

3.8 Non-Stormwater Discharges
The water quality impacts of non-stormwater discharges have been evaluated by the Town of Black
Mountain as summarized in Table 6 below. The unpermitted non-stormwater flows listed as incidental do
not significantly impact water quality. The Town of Black Mountain has evaluated residential and charity
car washing and street washing for possible significant water quality impacts.
Street washing discharges are addressed under the Pavement Management Program in Part 10 of this
SWMP. The Division has not required that other non-stormwater flows be specifically controlled by the
Town of Black Mountain.
Wash water associated with car washing that does not contain detergents or does not discharge directly
into the MS4 is considered incidental. However, these types of non-stormwater discharges that do
contain detergents have been evaluated by the Town of Black Mountain to determine whether they may
significantly impact water quality.

3.9 Target Pollutants and Sources
In addition to those target pollutants identified above, the Town of Black Mountain is aware of other
significant water quality issues within the permitted MS4 area. These include the following:
• Citizen reports of sedimentation in Lake Tomahawk related to Tomahawk Branch and the
unpaved, gravel walk trail around the lake
• Citizen reports of large volumes of sediment heavy water traversing and/or pooling at multiple
intersections caused by a combination of rain, steep slope, and development conditions
• Citizen and town staff observations of litter at public parks, greenways and in residential districts
of the town.
Table 7 below summarizes the water quality pollutants identified throughout Part 3 of this SWMP, the
likely activities/sources/targeted audiences attributed to each pollutant, and identifies the associated
SWMP program(s) that address each. In addition, the Town of Black Mountain has evaluated schools,
homeowners and businesses as target audiences that are likely to have significant stormwater impacts.

PART 4: STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION
4.1 Organizational Structure
The Stormwater Program is created and managed by the Planning Director with close collaboration of
Public Works and support of the Town Manager. The Planning Director manages administration, policy
outreach and implementation of the plan. The Public Works Director and staff provide information about
current conditions and support implementation. Public Works staff are the boots on the ground,
improving draining systems, managing infrastructure and are the first line of defense (along with
residents) in stopping illicit discharges and connections.
This is the organization chart for Public Works. Those positions noted in red indicate hands on service
deliver and/or management of the stormwater effort noted in the table below.

4.2 Program Funding and Budget
In accordance with the issued permit, the Town of Black Mountain shall maintain adequate funding and
staffing to implement and manage the provisions of the SWMP and comply with the requirements of the
NPDES MS4 Permit. The budget includes the permit administering and compliance fee, which is billed
by the Division annually. The funding for the stormwater program comes exclusively from fund balance,
however, the town is formally exploring establishing a stromwater utility.
NCS000422 SWMP
Town of Black Mountain
January 2021
Page 11
The town also seeks grants for projects to improve stormwater quality and reduce stormwater quantity as
they become available. The town acknowledges the lack of appropriate funding and is committed to
finding ways to increase program funding. These grants are used for typically used for SCM installation
and stream restoration projects. Not all of these projects are directly related to NPDES compliance,
however, do hold benefit to the watershed in general.
Currently the town funds staff positions of which a percentage of their work is related to stormwater. A
conservative estimates of these percentages are:
Public works crews
$56,000
Public Works Director
$15,000
Town Manager
$20,000
Planning Director
$15,000
Building Inspector
$8,000
Total
$114,000
4.3 Shared Responsibility
The Town of Black Mountain will share the responsibility to implement the following minimum control
measures, which are at least as stringent as the corresponding NPDES MS4 Permit requirement. The
Town of Black Mountain remains responsible for compliance if the other entity fails to perform the
permit obligation, and may be subject to enforcement action if neither the Town of Black Mountain nor
the other entity fully performs the permit obligation. Table 9 below summarizes who will be
implementing the component, what the component program is called, the specific SWMP BMP or permit
requirement that is being met by the shared responsibility, and whether or not a legal agreement to share
responsibility is in place.

PART 5: PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREACH PROGRAM
The Town of Black Mountain will implement a Public Education and Outreach Program to distribute
educational materials to the community or conduct equivalent outreach activities about the impacts of
storm water discharges on water bodies and steps the public can take to reduce pollutants in storm water
runoff.
The target audiences and identified pollutants listed in Part 3.9 of this SWMP, which will be addressed by
the Public Education and Outreach Program, are summarized in Table 12 below. In addition, the Town of
Black Mountain is required to inform businesses and the general public of the hazards associated with
illicit discharges, illegal dumping and improper disposal of waste.
Select Achievements
• In 2019 the Town held two well -attended workshops in partnership with RiverLink. The first was
a rain garden installation and certification course. The second was designed to teach citizens with
river/stream property how to be resilient and manage their property in a way that is
environmentally sensitive.
• Staff also launched a new highly informative website for citizens and developers to utilize.
• The stormwater hotline has been established and promoted through a variety of outlets, including
a "report -a -polluter" flyer sent out in over 3,000 water bills.
• Stormwater activity books were created and given to third grade classes participating in Town
Hall Day in November.
• Stormwater materials are now included in the development resources provided to
homeowners/contractors/developers when applying for permits.

PART 8: CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL PROGRAM
In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0153, the Town of Black Mountain relies upon the North Carolina
Sedimentation Pollution Control Act (SPCA) of 1973 and the NCGO10000 permit for construction
activities as qualifying alternative programs to meet the NPD1S MS4 Permit requirements for all
construction site runoff control measures to reduce pollutants in stormwater runoff from construction
activities that result in land disturbance of greater than or equal to one acre and any construction activity
that is part of a larger common plan of development that would disturb one acre or more.
Select Accomplishments
• The Town recently updated the post -construction ordinance. The area disturbed to require this
particular permit is now 5,000 square feet and the storm size is now a 10-year storm.
• All permits are screened for the stormwater requirement, by the zoning administrator.
• The Building Inspector supports the stormwater plan process by fielding questions and providing
the application package to the Town's consulting engineer who determines if the applicant has
met the standards of the ordiance.

PART 9: POST -CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL PROGRAM
This SWMP identifies the minimum elements to develop, implement and enforce a program to address
stormwater runoff from new development and redevelopment projects that disturb greater than or equal to
one acre, including projects less than one acre that are part of a larger common plan of development or
sale, that are located within the Town of Black Mountain and discharge into the MS4. These elements are
designed to minimize water quality impacts utilizing a combination of structural Stormwater Control
Measures (SCMs) and/or non-structural BMPs appropriate for the community, and ensure adequate long-
term operation and maintenance of SCMs.
In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0153 and .1017, the Town of Black Mountain implements the
following State post -construction program requirements, which satisfy the NPDES Phase II MS4 post -
construction site runoff control requirements as Qualifying Alternative Programs (QAPs) in the MS4
area(s) where they are implemented.

PART 10: POLLUTION PREVENTION AND GOOD HOUSEKEEPING PROGRAMS
This SWMP provides a comprehensive pollution prevention and good housekeeping strategy for the
Town of Black Mountain municipal facilities and operations. Pollution prevention and good
housekeeping is accomplished through the implementation of seven required programs, which
collectively address the ultimate goal of preventing or reducing pollutant runoff from municipal
operations such as parks and open space maintenance, fleet and building maintenance, new construction
and land disturbances, and municipal storm sewer system maintenance.
Pollution prevention and good housekeeping for municipal operations includes the following programs:
1. Municipal Facilities Operation and Maintenance Program
2. Spill Response Program
3. MS4 Operation and Maintenance Program
4. Municipal SCM Operation and Maintenance Program
5. Pesticide, Herbicide and Fertilizer Management Program
6. Vehicle and Equipment Maintenance Program
7. Pavement Management Program
Select Accomplishments
• An inventory of best management practices was conducted across multiple departments. The
findings were consolidated into the best management practices for the required categories.
• Improvements for gaps in or weaknesses of best management practice implementation were
created and provided back to each department as needed.
• Formal spill response plan was created and implemented.
• Spill kits were provided to appropriate departments.
The Town of Black Mountain will manage, implement and report the pollution prevention and good
housekeeping BMPs as specified in Table 21 below for each required program.
