PART 1: INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) is to establish and define the means by
which the Town of Clayton (Town) 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 Clayton 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 NCS000559, 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 Clayton and located
within the corporate limits and ETJ of the Town of Clayton.
In preparing this SWMP, the Town of Clayton 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.
The six minimum measures the Town is required to address are the following:
• Public Education and Outreach
• Public Involvement and Participation
• Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE)
• Construction Site Runoff Controls
• Post -Construction Runoff Controls
• Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations

PART 3: MS4 INFORMATION
3.1 Permitted MS4 Area
This SWMP, and the MS4 permit, applies throughout the corporate limits and the ETJ (extra -territorial
jurisdiction) of the Town of Clayton, including all regulated activities associated with the discharge of
stormwater from the MS4.
As of July 2022, the Town's current corporate area is 16.08 square miles; the Town's ETJ and zoning
jurisdictional area is 46.33 square miles. The Town's corporate limits and ETJ are located within Johnston
County, with a small portion located in Wake County.
The following map (Figure 1) shows the corporate limits and the ETJ of the Town of Clayton as of July
2022. Additionally, this map is updated regularly and can viewed on the Town's GIS webpaEe.

3.2 Existing MS4 Mapping
The current MS4 mapping consists of both closed channel and open channel vegetive conveyance.
Stormwater is conveyed through a combination of pipes, curbs, gutters, ditches, swales, drop inlets,
catch basins, culverts, outfalls, bridges, and overland sheet flow. Additionally, the MS4 mapping includes
an inventory of both public and privately maintained stormwater control measures (SCMs). For most of
the MS4 mapped drainage features, identifying information such as type of material, pipe diameter,
culvert dimensions, and inverts is included. The SCMs include the type and location, and when available,
reference to the recorded Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Manual.
To adequately prepare for Capital Improvement Program (CIP) needs as well as ensure the safety and
well-being of the residents within the Town's corporate limits and ETJ and our down -stream community
neighbors, the Town has identified finalizing GIS mapping of the Town's stormwater system and
developing a Town wide Stormwater Master Plan as major priorities within the next five (5) years.
The Town's MS4 GIS map can be found here.

*An outfall is a point where the MS4 discharges from a pipe or other conveyance (e.g., a ditch) directly
into surface waters. Major outfalls are required to be mapped to meet permit requirements. A major
outfall is a 36-inch diameter pipe or discharge from a drainage area > 50-acres; and for industrial zoned
areas a 12-inch diameter pipe or a drainage area > 2-acres.
3.3 Receiving Waters
The receiving waters within the Town of Clayton corporate limits and ETJ are located solely within the
Neuse River Basin. Table 2, listed below, identifies an inventory of receiving streams within the MS4
area. The stream index number, water quality classification, and 303(d) list of parameters of interest are
noted in Table 2.
Applicable water quality standards listed below are compiled from the following NCDEQ sources:

3.4 MS4 Interconnection
The Town of Clayton MS4 is not interconnected with another regulated MS4 and directly discharges to
the receiving waters as listed in Table 2 above.
The MS4 does interconnect with NCDOT's statewide TS4 and includes the following:
1. The interconnection is receiving stormwater from the NCDOT TS4. The number of
interconnections was not able to be determined using the data that is currently available.
2. The interconnection is discharging stormwater into the NCDOT TS4. The number of
interconnections was not able to be determined using the data that is currently available.
3.5 Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs)
The TMDLs) listed in Table 3 below have been approved within the MS4 area, as determined by the
map and list provided on the NCDEQ Modeling & Assessment Unit web page. The table also indicates
whether the approved TMDL has a specific stormwater Waste Load Allocation (WLA) for any watershed
directly receiving discharges from the permitted MS4, and whether a Water Quality Recovery Program

3.8 Non-Stormwater Discharges
The water quality impacts of non-stormwater discharges have been evaluated by the Town of Clayton as
summarized in Table 6 below. The unpermitted non-stormwater flows listed as incidental do not
significantly impact water quality.
DRAFT NCS000559 SWMP
Town of Clayton
August 2022
Page 6
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 Clayton.
Wash water associated with car washing that does not contain detergents or does not discharge directly
into the MS4 is considered incidental. Residential and non-profit car washing is exempt from the Town's
IDDE ordinance. However, these types of non-stormwater discharges that do contain detergents have
been evaluated by the Town of Clayton to determine whether they may significantly impact water
quality. It has been determined by the Town of Clayton that residential and non-profit car washing may
impact water quality, but they occur infrequently enough it does not need to be limited at this time. This
SWMP addresses measures taken by the Town of Clayton to reduce the target pollutants of wash water
associated with residential and non-profit car washing.

4.2 Program Funding and Budget
In accordance with the issued permit, the Town of Clayton 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 Stormwater Program currently receives funding of approximately $ 500,000 per year; funded
through the Town's General Fund. The program has 12 staffed members; 2 full-time stormwater staff
and 10 full-time auxiliary staff to provide program support.
The Town's MS4 program has recently become administered by Town staff and is still being fully
developed. The program is currently under -funded and under -staffed to conduct all the proactive
elements of the permit. Further fiscal analysis and investigation will be conducted to further evaluate
staff and funding needs. Additionally funding sources, such as a Stormwater Utility Fee, may also be
evaluated to reduce the gap in available funding.
4.3 Shared Responsibility
The Town of Clayton 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 Clayton 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 Clayton 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.

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
