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 SWMP, 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 SWMP,
along with any approved modifications of the SWMP, are incorporated by reference into the
permit and become enforceable parts of the permit. Any major changes to the approved SWMP
will require resubmittal, review and approval by NCDEQ, and may require a new public
comment period depending on the nature of the changes.

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.
NCS000422 SWMP
Town of Black Mountain
April 2021
Page 7

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.

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 is 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. The Town is actively pursuing a stormwater utility and will hire a stormwater
field tech when adopted.
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.

Requirements
4.2 Program Funding and Budget
hi 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 stormwater utility.
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.
The town has completed a stormwater utility study. The Town Council will consider the proposal
for adoption and implementation in FY 21-22. Projected revenue will vary on adopted rate
structure, but could be approximately $350,000 per year.
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.

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.

The town has been successful in engaging these communities using social media, partnering with
RiverLink and the town's Beautification Committee, to help get information into the community.
The pandemic has made working with schools more difficult, but we have e-mail links to
activities and videos that could be used during remote learning. We also include stormwater
information into the Citizen's Academy, which is held once a year.
The Town of Black Mountain will manage, implement and report the following public education
and outreach BMPs.

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 NPDES 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 ordinance.

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.
