1. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM OVERVIEW
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of Stormwater Management is to restore, protect, and preserve the surface waters within the
City of Winston-Salem and to maintain, repair, map, and evaluate drainage systems within the street right-
of-ways.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS
Stormwater Monitoring and Administration: Manages the day-to-day operations of the Stormwater
Management Program. Implements the requirements of the City's Municipal Separate Storm Sewer
System (MS4) permit. Performs watershed master planning by developing maps and inventories of the
entire drainage system within the City. Monitors stormwater run-off as part of the program's efforts to
improve water quality. Provides educational programming to increase public awareness of water quality
issues.
Drainage Maintenance: Repairs, replaces, and upgrades the City's drainage system within street right-of-
ways. Provides for drainage system repairs on private property through the 70/30 program in which the
City covers 70% of the cost for qualified projects. Removes debris from culverts and bridge abutments
with many streams and creeks.
Erosion Control: Provides for the enforcement of regulations pertaining to land -disturbing activity,
watershed and floodplain requirements by reviewing development plans and issuing grading permits for
all commercial and multi -family sites over 10,000 square feet in all areas of Forsyth County, excluding
Kernersville. Monitors single family construction sites to ensure that sediment is controlled. Identifies
tree save and potential critical areas, controls sedimentation, and limits the time of exposure on all
applicable construction sites through plan review and field inspection. Maintains up-to-date floodway
district maps to enforce floodway and floodway fringe regulations contained in the Unified Development
Ordinance. Reviews survey and plan information and conducts field inspections to ensure that permitted
structures comply with floodplain regulations. Enforces watershed regulations for density and impervious
coverage on developed properties.
Street Sweeping: Regenerative street sweepers are used year -around to remove litter, debris, and sediment
from roads. Sweeping protects water quality by preventing materials from entering the storm drains. All
debris swept is disposed of in the sanitary landfill.

2. STORM SEWER SYSTEM INFORMATION
2.1 Population Served:
Winston-Salem is in the northwestern area of the Piedmont Region of North Carolina.
Situated in Forsyth County, Winston-Salem is the fifth largest city in North Carolina and
has an estimated population of 247,945 citizens (based on data from the U.S. Census
Bureau).
2.2 Growth Rate:
The City of Winston-Salem increased its population size by 8.00 percent from April 1,
2010 to July 1, 2019, while the State of North Carolina grew at the rate of 10.0 percent
during the same period.
2.3 Jurisdictional and MS4 Service Areas:
The City of Winston-Salem does not have any ETJ areas currently. The square mile area
for the City is 133.70.
2.3a Latitude of Center of MS4 Area: 36 degrees 06' 9.95" N
Longitude of Center of MS4 Area: 80 degrees 15' 37.77" W
2.3b Storm Sewer Service Area (square miles): 133.70
2.4 Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4):
The City of Winston-Salem is authorized to discharge stormwater from its municipal
separate storm sewer system (MS4) into the waters of the State of North Carolina. A
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit is the legal mechanism
that allows the City of Winston-Salem to discharge stormwater runoff into streams. All
six minimum measures, which govern the City of Winston-Salem's Stormwater Program,
are contained within this permit.
The City of Winston-Salem is delineated into 17 different sub -watersheds that drain the
City and its surrounding area. The streams, within these sub -watersheds, flow in a
southwesterly direction into Lower Muddy Creek; the original fifteen watersheds had
stormwater masterplans developed for staff by a consultant. Current objectives of
masterplan efforts include providing a comprehensive update of the existing storm sewer
inventory (contained within public, private, and industrial properties), identify existing
and future areas of flooding based on existing and future development patterns, and assess
the impacts of stormwater discharges on the quality of Winston-Salem's streams.
Information obtained from those plans show that Winston-Salem has approximately 538
miles of stormwater conveyance piping and 39,818 infrastructure devices, which includes
catch basins and manholes. Based on the city's current GIS layer, there are approximately
547 miles of perennial and intermittent streams within the municipal boundaries of
Winston-Salem.
2.4a MS4 maintenance activities:
Cave-in reports are responded to within 24 hours of first knowledge of occurrence with
simple repairs being completed within 72 hours. Maintenance activities include the
following services of catch basin inspection and cleaning, pipe repair, replacement and
upgrade projects, ditching (performed by hired contractors or in-house crews), and street
sweeping activities are performed by in-house services.

2.6 Estimate Methodology:
Classifications are based on zoning districts with the corresponding acreage versus the
total acreage of the City of Winston-Salem. For this assessment, schools have been
calculated as institutional purposes and parks are listed separately (typically included in
the residential classification).
2.7 TMDL Identification:
The N.C. Division of Water Quality (NC DWQ) has detected standard violations of
turbidity and chlorophyll a at High Rock Lake, which is 25 miles south of Winston-Salem.
A TMDL is currently being developed for wastewater point sources within the High Rock
Lake Watershed, which indirectly receives stormwater discharges from the City's MS4.
The main contributing river to High Rock Lake is the Yadkin River, in which Muddy
Creek discharges into near the Forsyth -Davidson County border.
The NC DWQ determined that the Salem Creek Watershed is biologically -impaired due to
excessive fecal coliform concentrations. As a result, the Stormwater Division continues to
perform water sampling to determine pollutant origin sources of fecal coliform loading
into Salem Creek. The City of Winston-Salem revised its TMDL Sampling Plan in 2019,
which resulted in 22 water sampling sites being selected throughout Salem, Peters, and
Brushy Fork Watersheds. Stormwater staff will perform basic statistical analyses of
collected water quality samples; once a sufficient population of data points exists to
discern an observable trend, staff will report its findings to NC DWR.

Best Management Practices (BMPs) for Public Education and Outreach
8.1(a) Describe Target Pollutants, Sources, and Audiences: The Stormwater Division uses three
resources in order to identify and target pollutants of concern within local waterways of
Winston-Salem: regulatory requirements, fixed interval stream sampling, and historical illicit
discharge detection and elimination reports. Regulatory requirements are derived from Total
Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) that the City of Winston Salem must reduce waste load
allocations to Muddy and Salem Creeks (currently, the High Rock Lake TMDL is pending). For
the Muddy Creek TMDL, the pollutant of concern is turbidity (i.e. TSS). Most probable sources
of turbidity (TSS) loading include construction sites, in -stream channel erosion, and industrial
sites. Fecal coliform is the pollutant of concern from Salem Creek Watershed. Bacterial source
tracking (BST) confirmed that sanitary sewer overflows, pet waste, and wildlife populations
contribute to fecal coliform pollution. Once the High Rock Lake TMDL is approved, nutrients
will be target pollutants of concern. Fecal coliform and turbidity pollution degrades biotic
integrity, thus impairing the reproduction cycle of aquatic life within streams.
The Stormwater Division performs quarterly, fixed interval sampling to determine pollutant
exceedances (when compared to Water Quality Redbook Standards) within streams. Since
samples are collected during various weather conditions (e.g. dry, first flush, descending portion
of a hydrograph, etc.), an accurate assessment of target pollutants has been established. Since
2011, the Stormwater Division has observed City-wide trending sample data that consistently
shows evaluated concentrations of numerous pollutants. These pollutants of concern consist of
turbidity (i.e. TSS), fecal coliform, and nutrients (i.e. total nitrogen, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, total
phosphorus, and dissolved phosphorus). Probable sources of nutrient exportation include
14

excessive residential and commercial fertilizer applications, sanitary sewer overflows,
atmospheric deposition on impervious surfaces, industrial facilities, and commercial car -washing
activities. Nutrient loading depletes available dissolved oxygen concentrations for aquatic life
due to excessive algal blooms, thus affecting water resources. Scientific research has proven that
floatables and debris transport nutrients within our waterways. Floatables and debris can also
serve as surrogates for other pollutants due to being more visible and tangible to the public.
Historical illicit discharge detection and elimination (IDDE) reports indicate that hydrocarbon oil
and grease is the most frequently released pollutant of concern within the City of Winston-
Salem. Automobile repair businesses, car salvage facilities, nonpoint oil spills/leaks on public
streets, industrial entities, and commercial car -washing operations are sources of oil and grease
pollution. Oil and grease float on the stream surface and obstruct sunlight, which is needed by
aquatic fauna and flora. In addition, hydrocarbon oil and grease damage riverine habitat and
sensitive spawning areas due soil adsorption. Since contaminated soil particles settle at the
bottom of spawning beds, fish cannot reproduce and eventually, vanish from the stream.
The Stormwater Division has identified numerous audiences for public outreach and education
activities due to their potential risk of releasing targeted pollutants. Residents use lawn care
products, dispose of household hazardous waste, own pets, and perform routine maintenance on
their cars. Materials have been developed targeting residents to educate them about lawn care,
household hazardous waste disposal, pet waste, and automotive maintenance. Programs or
workshops, such as Carolina Yards & Neighborhoods, address fertilizer and pesticide usage and
pet waste. Other materials have been developed to address automotive maintenance for
businesses and stormwater volunteer opportunities. The Hispanic population is a growing
segment within the city of Winston-Salem. General stormwater pollution information has been
developed for this demographic as well as translations of current outreach materials in order to
reach the Hispanic community in Winston-Salem. School -age children participate in Creek
Crawls, an in -stream learning -experience concerning water quality issues and the difference
between healthy and impaired streams. The overall goal from extensive school -age children
education is to influence adult behavior, thus eliminating pollution -enhancing practices. A
Stormwater Inspector performs industrial inspections and assessments on prioritized, permitted
facilities; these inspections concentrate on pollution prevention and good housekeeping
measures, which curtail exposure of pollutants to rainwater. Erosion Control staff performs face-
to-face informal meetings to discuss and implement corrective measures for containing sediment
on -site. In the near future, the Stormwater Division will work in collaborative efforts with
Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Utilities in order to reduce sanitary sewer overflows and leaks.
8.1(c) Informational Web Site: The Stormwater Division operates and maintains an informative
website, hgps://www.cityofws.org/Stormwater, in order to achieve a heightened awareness of
stormwater-related issues and/or events. Information is reviewed and updated as needed every
three months or upon a significant event or issue. The Community Educator promotes the
website at presentations, media releases, or posting the web address on distributed public
educational materials. Topics for web postings range from pollutant `factoids' to public
involvement opportunities. The Stormwater and Erosion Control Divisions have publicized its
contact information and the Stormwater Hotline/Helpline (CityLink) on the City of Winston-
Salem's main webpage. Once on the City's homepage, a citizen can locate staff member's name,
e-mail address, and telephone number within four clicks of a computer mouse. The contact
information for CityLink is located at the bottom of every city webpage and at the top of the
Stormwater and Erosion Control Divisions' webpages.
15

8.1(d) Distribute Public Education Materials to Identified User Groups: The city of Winston
Salem distributes public educational materials that directly relates to specific, targeted audiences.
The City creates communicative information for ranked pollutants of concern, such as floatables,
fecal coliforms, oil and grease, sediment (i.e. total suspended solids), and nutrients. Educational
materials (and opportunities) include brochures (paper and electronic), presentations, TV
advertisements, social media posts, workshops, community events, and targeted mailings. The
city of Winston-Salem performs mass media outreach activities throughout the local area works
in conjunction with the Piedmont Triad Regional Council (via Stormwater SMART).
Stormwater SMART develops TV and radio public service announcements, social media posts,
digital advertisements, and brochures (paper and electronic) to supplement the City's own
education and outreach efforts. To ensure the maximum educational effectiveness, the City
correlates the informative technique to the targeted audience. For example, best management
practices brochures are written in Spanish for Hispanic automobile repair shops.
8.1(e) Promote and Maintain a Stormwater Hotline/Helpline: In 2005, City Council commissioned
the creation and implementation of a centralized telephone call center/web-based complaint
hotline for the citizens of the City of Winston-Salem. Known to the public as CityLink, this
communication center receives citizen -generated e-mails or telephone calls regarding
stormwater-related items illicit within the City. The public can access CityLink from the city of
Winston-Salem's homepage of https://www.cityofws.org/; the CityLink button appears at the
top portion of the City's homepage and the CityLink contact information appears at the bottom
of all City webpages. On the Stormwater Division's homepage on the city website, the CityLink
contact information is provided at the top of the page. The Senior Community Educator receives
electronic notifications for presentation requests from CityLink or directly from website requests.
Illicit discharges are received through the Stormwater Pollution Hotline [phone]), which
is operated by CityLink. CityLink refers all illicit discharge complaints to Stormwater staff, who
will investigate these reports within 24 hours.
8.1(f) Implement a Public Education and Outreach Program: The Senior Community Educator
records the reach and extend of all educational outreach activities during the active permit year.
As a component of the annual program assessment, the Senior Community Educator evaluates
each educational approach that was used to reach targeted audiences. If needed, educational
techniques or methodologies are modified for maximizing the greatest reach for the upcoming
permit year.
8.7 Public Education and Outreach Annual Reporting Task Items for PY 2021-2022:
1. The Senior Community Educator will provide a summary of all completed educational and
outreach activities (with corresponding workload data or outcomes) that bolster permit
compliance to DEQ.
2. Target audiences will be evaluated for appropriateness to pollutant sources/practices and
readjusted, if needed.
3. The Stormwater program website will be reviewed and updated with information for citizens.
The dates of all webpage updates, with a summary of uploaded information, will be reported to
DEQ.
4. The Stormwater Division will list all identified user groups with the corresponding total number
of distributed materials. Based on targeted pollutants, the Senior Community Educator will
16

evaluate identified user groups (and distributed materials) and modify educational efforts, as
needed.
5. The Senior Community Educator will report the total number of stormwater-related calls through
CityLink. In addition, social media requests will be tabulated and reported to forecast the most
effective means of reaching citizens within the community. A summary of results will be
reported to DEQ.
6. The Senior Community Educator will report the total number of new city employees trained and
received the Stormwater Division's educational booklet during orientation to DEQ.
7. As a component of annual reporting, the Senior Community Educator will complete a
programmatic evaluation for exploring new/modified methods or means of maintaining or
enhancing public education, outreach activities, with the corresponding targeted audience. All
proposed, major programmatic changes will be reported to DEQ for approval, prior to
implementation.

9.1(a) Volunteer Community Involvement Program: The city of Winston-Salem has implemented
the following programs to various degrees in order to promote volunteer opportunities and
ongoing citizen participation:
• Creek Week is a week-long series of events geared to engage the public and support water
quality awareness. Events usually include Creek Crawls, photo contest, guided paddles
and nature walks, lunch and learn presentations, a community read and book discussion,
professional development workshops, homeowner and resident workshops, special
children and teen's programs at the public libraries, community clean-ups, water centered
recreational activities, and other interactive programs. Creek Week occurs in March and
organized by a committee of municipal, county, and non-profit organizations.
• Creek Crawls are held with local school classes where the students visit a nearby creek to
examine the water quality of the stream using water quality test kits and visual
observations. Benthic macroinvertebrates are collected, examined, and discussed as to
form an overall assessment of the water quality of the selected stream. Students are
taught to collect water samples and to identify the macroinvertebrates collected based on
provided keys as part of this `hands on' approach.
• The Stormwater Division co -coordinates the Adopt -A -Stream program with Keep
Winston-Salem Beautiful to reduce litter, debris, and floatables in our waterways.
Homeowner associations, companies, special interest groups, families, or other interested
parties can request to Adopt -A -Stream in their area of interest. Interested parties will
commit to conducting three clean-ups per year and the City will provide signage and
debris removal after each cleanup. Keep Winston-Salem Beautiful also coordinates
Adopt -A -Street and Adopt -A -Park programs to reduce litter, debris, and floatables in our
community.
Big Sweep is conducted every year in October to remove trash and debris from local
waterways.
The Great American Clean -Up in Winston-Salem is conducted every year in April to
remove trash and debris from local streets, parks, and waterways.
The Stormwater Division coordinates the Storm Drain Marking program where volunteer
groups place adhesive `No Dumping, Drains to Creek' markers or use a provided storm
drain marking stencil and spray paint on catch basins and other drainage structures within
the community. Volunteer groups also distribute door hangers that contain stormwater
18

education material informing citizens about fertilizer use, pet waste, and illegal dumping
within targeted neighborhoods due to the number of reoccurring complaints.
• The Stream Watch in Winston-Salem program encourages volunteers to visit local
Winston-Salem waterways to make various visual observations about the habitat and
water quality. Observations are shared through a GIS web app in cooperation with NC
DEQ's Stream Watch program. Volunteers are provided with Winston-Salem specific
stormwater and stream educational information to help guide them through their visual
observations. Volunteers are encouraged to report any illicit discharges they observe
while participating in Stream Watch activities in Winston-Salem.
9.1(b) Establish a Mechanism for Public Involvement: The city of Winston-Salem has three main
mechanisms for public input on stormwater issues and input on the stormwater management
program: City Council Committee meetings, Stormwater Appeals Board, and the City Link
"suggestion and comment" service. The City Council has established committee level meetings
that citizens are invited to attend to discuss any topic including stormwater management issues.
The City Council committee that hears citizen input on stormwater management issues is the
Public Works Committee. Public Works Committee meetings are advertised on the City's
website and are held the second Tuesday of every month. The Stormwater Appeals Board has
been created to hear appeals if an owner, developer, engineer, or other party disagrees with the
decision of staff. City Link has instituted a citizen "suggestion and comment" service request
that allows any citizen to suggest or comment, which relates to the Stormwater Management
Program. These suggestions or comments are forwarded to the Department Head for review and
action, if necessary.
9.1(c) Establish Hotline(s) or Helpline(s): In 2005, City Council commissioned the creation and
implementation of a centralized telephone call center/web-based complaint hotline for the
citizens of the City of Winston-Salem. Known to the public as CityLink, this communication
center receives citizen -generated a -mails or telephone calls regarding stormwater-related items
illicit within the City. The public can access CityLink from the city of Winston-Salem's
homepage of https://www.cityofws.org/; the CityLink button appears at the top portion of the
City's homepage and the CityLink contact information appears at the bottom of all City
webpages. On the Stormwater Division's homepage on the city website, the CityLink contact
information is provided at the top of the page. The Senior Community Educator receives
electronic notifications for presentation requests from CityLink or directly from website requests.
Illicit discharges are received through the Stormwater Pollution Hotline [phone]), which
is operated by CityLink. CityLink refers all illicit discharge complaints to the appropriate
Stormwater staff members, who will investigate these reports within 24 hours (except on the
weekends).
9.1(d) Public Review and Comment: Copies of the City's Stormwater Management Plan are available
for public comment on its website located at https://www.cilyofws.org/Stormwater.
9.1(e) Public Notice: The City of Winston-Salem will comply with applicable public notice
requirements when implementing a public involvement and participation program. Compliance
with 40 CFR 122.34 is achieved by working with the City Secretary's Office, Marketing and
Communications and the Community Assistance Specialist for scheduling, advertising, and
posting public meetings.
19

9.2 Public Education and Outreach Annual Reporting Task Items for PY 2020-2021:
1. The Senior Community Educator will provide a summary of all completed educational,
volunteer, and public participation activities (with corresponding workload data) that bolster
permit compliance to DEQ.
2. Citizens attend monthly Public Works Committee Meetings to participate in the stakeholder
process. The Public Works Committee invites citizens to participate in these discussions and
agendas are posted on the City's website. In addition, the City Council has created
Stormwater Appeals Board, which makes decisions of various ordinances.
3. The Senior Community Educator will report the total number of stormwater-related calls
through CityLink to DEQ.
4. The Stormwater program website will be reviewed and updated with information for citizens.
The dates of all webpage updates, with a summary of uploaded information, will be reported
to DEQ.
5. The Senior Community Educator will publish major NPDES permit components on the
Stormwater Division's webpage for soliciting public feedback.
6. As a component of annual reporting, the Senior Community Educator will complete a
programmatic evaluation for exploring new/modified methods or means of maintaining or
enhancing public education and outreach activities. All proposed, major programmatic
changes will be reported to DEQ for approval, prior to implementation.

Best Manamement Practices (BMPs) for Illicit Discharl4e Detection and Elimination:
10.1(a) Maintain Appropriate Legal Authorities: The City of Winston-Salem has an illicit discharge,
connection, and disposal ordinance that regulates the introduction of illegal pollutants to the
City's MS4 and receiving streams. The ordinance was adopted by City Council in 2006.
Stormwater staff possesses adequate regulatory authority to provide enforcement actions, which
include enforcement mechanisms, such as issuance of notice of violations, levy civil penalties,
and issue stop work orders. One can reference the City's Stormwater Illicit Discharges and
Connection Ordinance, Chapter 75, at ARTICLE L ILLICIT STORMWATER DISCHARGES
AND CONNECTIONS
10.1(b) Maintain a Storm Sewer System Base Map: The City of Winston-Salem has entered into a
professional services contract with HDR Engineering for major outfall identification as well as
creation of a comprehensive stormwater system inventory. For FY 2021-2022, Middle and
Lower Mill Creek Subwatersheds are in the process of being surveyed and updated for a
comprehensive stormwater inventory revision, which includes location of new major
stormwater outfalls.
22

10.1(c) Inspect/Detect Dry Weather Flows at MS4 Outfalls in Targeted Areas: Illicit discharge
detection and elimination procedures are contained within the Stormwater IDDE manual, which
was last revised in November 2020. The Stormwater Division's current standard operating
procedures (SOPS) are based on the Center of Watershed Protection's 2004 technical manual.
Staff has modified these SOPS for functionality and cost-effectiveness, as new technology and
funding become available, the Stormwater Division will update and adopt new practices, as
needed. In FY 2021-2022, HDR will continue to perform dry weather screening of new and
existing major outfalls as well as stream -walk selected stream segments in the Salem Creek
Watershed (due to TMDL regulations). Once identified by HDR, Stormwater staff will track,
identify, and eliminate all illicit discharges. If needed, Stormwater staff will collect water
samples from outfalls and analyze for biochemical oxygen demand, ammonia, nitrate, pH,
conductivity, fluoride, surfactants, and fecal coliforms.
10.1(d) Employee Training: The Senior Community Educator distributes a web -based power point
presentation and booklet to all current and new municipal employees (pertinent field staff) in
order to increase the success rate of detecting illicit discharges to the MS4/receiving waters.
All new municipal employees, which are not in administrative positions, are required to review
a web -based power point presentation and booklet regarding IDDE detection and reporting
during orientation. Jason H. Bryant, one of the Safety Inspectors for the Risk Management
Department dispenses IDDE booklets during safety audits. On an annual basis, the Senior
Community Educator performs refresher training at a targeted municipal facility or operation.
10.1(e) Maintain a Public Reporting Mechanism: Stormwater staff will continue working with the
I.S. Department for maintaining the most current up-to-date information that can be accessed on
our city website in order to keep the public informed. The reporting mechanism that the
Stormwater Division uses is called CityLink. Once known of the reported issue, staff has 24
hours to respond accordingly to the reported situation. When CityLink receives an issue, the
Assistant Director, Stormwater Operations Supervisor, and Stormwater Analyst receive an
automated notification from CityLink. From there, management assigns staff accordingly to
respond within the allotted period.
10.1(f) Documentation of IDDE Activities: When staff investigates an illicit discharge activity, a
discharge report is developed and filed by the investigating staff member, regardless of the
outcome. If an illicit activity is discovered, staff prepares a Notice of Violation (NOV), as per
the requirements of Chapter 75-11 of the City Code. The NOV is sent to the violator(s) via
certified mail or signature verified delivery by staff. The NOV clearly states the violation, as
well as any abatement activities required by the City. Upon successful completion of abatement
activities by the violator, a notification is sent stating that the illicit activity has been resolved.
Staff records all electronic copies of all correspondence, photos, mapping, civil penalty
assessments, and sampling results pertaining to the IDDE activity for future reference. Staff
documents all IDDE incidents on an spreadsheet as well as a NOV/IDDE GIS layer for
accurately tracking elimination activities. The city`s service request system is the main
documentation source to bridge the communication gap between Stormwater staff and citizens.
From there, citizens can call CityLink and receive information updates.
23

10.2 Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Annual Reporting Task Items for FY 2021-
2022
1. Continue to move forward with HDR to update and submit a revised the storm sewer system
inventory map. The Stormwater Division will provide a summary of inventory update activities
in Lower and Mill Creek Subwatersheds during FY 2021-2022.
2. Continue to detect and eliminate illicit discharge situations and issue corresponding Notice of
Violations (NOVs), when applicable. Stormwater staff will report the total number of IDDE
cases investigated, the number issued NOVs, and corresponding percentage of successfully
resolved IDDE situations to DEQ.
3. As part of the masterplan inventory update, major stormwater outfalls will be investigated and
screened for the presence of pollutants. Stormwater staff will furnish the total number of
screened major stormwater outfalls, total amount of stream -miles walked, and corresponding
eliminated IDDE incidents to DEQ.
4. As part of the city's Good Housekeeping and Pollution prevention programs, new city employees
will continue to training in order to identify and report illicit discharges. The Stormwater
Division will tabulate and report the total number of new city employees trained in IDDE
detection and notification to DEQ.
5. Continue to educate the public regarding illicit discharges reporting methods and means.
Examples include, but limited to, commercials, door hangers, radio, etc. The Stormwater
Division will track and report the methods of communication to DEQ.
6. Continue using City Link as our initial tracking system to take any illicit discharge calls and
within one business day, Stormwater staff will investigate all received complaints within
established procedures.
7. Stormwater staff performs quarterly, fixed interval sampling at 13 locations to determine if any
illicit discharges are occurring so that we can eliminate them. The Stormwater Division will
report all samples analyzed to DEQ
8. Staff will use instanteous multiparameter meters, in conjunction with Hach colorimeters, for early
detection of sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) and failing septic systems. The Stormwater
Division will report all samples analyzed as well as the total number of eliminated SSOs and
failed septic systems to DEQ.
9. Continue to perform TMDL and Water Quality Assessment Sampling Programs to detect illicit
discharges. The Stormwater Division will report all samples analyzed to DEQ.
10. Continue to use CCTV or a pole camera to locate and permanently remove illicit discharge
sources from the MS4 or local streams.
11. Assess and update (if needed) Stormwater's Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Standard
Operating Procedures (SOPS) for determination of accepted staff protocols. This assessment will
occur on an annual frequency.
12. Record the number of detected sanitary sewer overflows by Stormwater staff and reported to
Utilities Construction and Maintenance Section. Continue accessing the sewer overflows data
base that Utilities maintains on a GIS system to determine problem areas for observable trends.
13. Continue coordinating with the Utilities Division for determining potential illicit discharges when
encountered. Stormwater staff will provide professional knowledge and testing equipment for
evaluating potential releases.
14. The Stormwater Division will contact the Forsyth County Department of Public Health to resolve
all failed septic tank systems in the municipal boundaries of Winston-Salem.
15. Assist the Senior Community Educator in distributing IDDE booklets and brief training during
municipal good housekeeping inspections. Field staff will mark storm drain catch basins with
permanent stickers and spray paint signage at IDDE locations. Stormwater Division will sum the
24

total number of markers for education/public outreach and provide those quantities to DEQ.
This information is located at G:\HannaM\Ed & Outreach Programs.
16. Continue to develop and maintain stormwater IDDE Standard Operating Procedures (SOPS), as
changes occur. The Stormwater Division will report changes to DEQ.
17. Document IDDE training attendance for all Stormwater Division employees. Both hard and
digital copies will be stored in the Stormwater Operations Supervisor's office.
18. Use dye tracing as a method of illicit discharge tracking in conjunction with ArcGIS database
conveyance layers.
19. Notify the Winston-Salem Regional Office of DEQ, within 24 hours, of any petroleum discharge
that results in a visible sheen on receiving waters or discharged within 100 feet of any
perennial stream, or in exceedance of 25 gallons.
20. Continue to document IDDE investigation reports with all relevant information such as
NOV/Complaint log, IDDE report, NOV letter(s), correspondences, CSR updates, any follow-up
documentation, and photos. This information is located at GATechn_Projects _Files\IDDE -
Complaints and NOVs.

11. CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROLS
Objectives:
Reduce pollutants in stormwater runoff from construction activities disturbing one or more
acres of land surface and those activities less than one acre that are part of a larger
common plan of development.
2. Provide procedures for public input, sanctions to ensure permit compliance, requirements
for construction site operators to implement appropriate erosion and sediment control
practices, review of site plans, which incorporates consideration of potential water quality
impacts, and procedures for site inspection and enforcement of control measures.
3. A locally delegated program that meets or exceeds the state requirements covering the
jurisdictional area of the permittee complies with the required minimum of this section.
4. The City of Winston-Salem has been delegated by DEMLR to establish a local erosion
and sedimentation control program to administer the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act
of 1973; stormwater NPDES permit requirements will be fulfilled using this existing
program. Grading permits are required for land disturbing activities that are greater than
(or equal to) 20,000 square feet for new single-family dwelling construction (or part of a
larger common plan of development) or greater than 10,000 (or equal to) square feet for
any non-exempt purpose (or part of a larger common plan of development). For single-
family dwelling sites under 20,000 square feet (and not in a larger common plan of
development), an executed erosion control affidavit is mandated, which stipulates the
installation of minimal erosion control measures to prevent off -site sedimentation.

11.1(a) Erosion and Sediment Control Program: The Erosion Control Division of the City of
Winston-Salem's Field Operations Department require erosion and sediment control measures
at construction sites. Chapter 8, Section 8.4 of the Unified Development Ordinance regulates
land disturbing activities within Forsyth County's boundaries (this includes the City of
Winston-Salem). For additional information regarding the City's Sediment and Erosion Control
Ordinance, please visit this link: Chapter 8, Section 8.4.
11.1(b) Plan Review Process: Chapter 8, Section 8.4 of the Unified Development Code, Section 8.4.4
(A.) states that no person shall initiate any land disturbing activity upon a tract without having
an erosion control plan approved by the Director or a designee and without having purchased
the applicable permit through the Inspections Division office. Section 3.2.7 (A.) states that any
area exceeding 20,000 square feet in surface area on one tract for construction of a single-family
dwelling or 10,000 square feet on one tract for any other non-exempt purpose must be
permitted. To be permitted, Section 8.4.4 (A.) mandates the creation and submittal of an
erosion control plan, Section 8.4.17 provides the submittal standards and criteria of erosion, and
sedimentation control plans to be reviewed, approved, and installed. When finalized,
development plans are submitted to the City of Winston-Salem for permit approval of land
disturbing activities; Erosion Control staff determines regulatory compliance in accordance with
the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 and Chapter 8, Section 8.4 of the City of
Winston-Salem Unified Development Ordinance. As a result, sediment control devices for
construction activities are evaluated for capture of 75 percent of the 40-micron particle and
larger.
11.1(c) Field Inspections, Complaint Response, and Enforcement Procedures: Site inspections are
conducted by one of three qualified Erosion Control Inspectors, which are assigned to a specific
section of Forsyth County. One Erosion Control Inspector is solely dedicated to inspecting
single family dwelling erosion control compliance. Inspector responsibilities include plan
review and approval, issuance of grading/erosion control permits for construction activities,
conducting on -site inspections, and performing enforcement actions, when needed. Routine site
inspections are performed approximately once every three weeks; however, the frequency of
inspections will increase (as needed) for overall programmatic compliance.
Enforcement action provisions are described in Chapter 8, Section 8.4.20 of the City's Unified
Development Ordinance (Chapter 8). The Erosion Control Division will not issue a grading
permit for a development site unless the sediment and erosion control plan has been approved.
Deviation from the approved plan will result in a Notice of Violation (NOV) issued by the
Erosion Control Inspector with required corrective actions and a compliance due date for
28

completion of corrective actions will be documented. Mitigation activities are enforced in the
event off -site sedimentation damage is observed. NCDEQ — DEQ receives a copy of every
NOV that is issued by the Erosion Control Division and NCDEQ — DWR is notified if
sedimentation damage is observed to a jurisdictional water body. If the required corrective
actions are not resolved by the compliance due date, a monetary fine, Stop Work Order, and/or
Injunction may be imposed on the developer and/or contractor. In addition, the Inspections
Division may withhold any certificates of occupancy until absolute resolution has been
achieved.
11.1(d) Notification to the Responsible State or Local Government Agencies that have
Enforcement Capabilities for eliminating Construction Site Wastes: During the course of
conducting field inspections, Erosion Control Inspectors assess construction waste BMPs,
specifically, in regard to potential adverse impacts to water quality. If Erosion Control staff
determines that a contractor's poor housekeeping practices possess a threat to water quality,
staff will notify the Winston-Salem Regional Office of DEMLR, if the site has a NCGO1000
permit or located within unincorporated area of Forsyth County. If the site is located within the
jurisdiction of a MS4-permitted entity (e.g. Clemmons, Lewisville, Kernersville, etc.), the
respective stormwater authority is notified. Any pollutants that are directly (or indirectly)
discharged, disposed, or illicitly -connected to storm drain systems (public or private -owned) or
streams, which are located within the City of Winston-Salem's municipal limits, are monitored
and enforced by the city's Stormwater Division.
11.1(e) Educational and Training Materials for Construction Site Operators: Erosion Control staff
performs on -site and in -office educational discussions with licensed contractors, design
professional, developers, and the general public as per service requests and/or issuance of
violations. These educational discussions are very interactive and personal. Erosion Control
staff provides guidance resources to contractors, developers, and the public by directing them to
the City and DEMLR's websites. Erosion Control staff has also compiled and distributes digital
technical guidance and design criteria resources through email or print by request.
11.1(f) Public Information: In 2005, City Council and the City Manager commissioned the creation
and implementation of a centralized telephone call center/web-based complaint hotline for the
citizens of the City of Winston-Salem. Known to the public as CityLink, this communication
center receives citizen -generated a -mails or telephone calls regarding illicit activity within the
City or County. The public can access CityLink on the City of Winston-Salem's homepage of
www.Cityofws.org.; it appears on the bottom portion of the website. The Erosion Control
Division has been integrated into the CityLink system and implemented a response time of three
days.
The Erosion Control Division has publicized its contact information on the City of Winston-
Salem's main webpage. Once on the City's homepage, a citizen can locate each Erosion Control
staff member's name, e-mail address, and telephone number within three clicks of a computer
mouse.
In addition, by calling 1-866-STOPMUD, citizens can report violations of the Sedimentation
Pollution Control Act of 1973. The Erosion Control Division responds to a -mails and received
complaints from the hotline within three business days of first knowledge.
29

11.2 Eminent Domain Authority: The Erosion Control Division has an established procedure of
requiring documentation of review and approval of a post -construction stormwater management
plan by DEQ for all development activity within Forsyth County. Municipalities that are
excluded from this policy include Winston-Salem, Kernersville, Clemmons, and Lewisville,
since each municipality has its own delegated post -construction stormwater program. This
protocol provides DEQ the opportunity to collaborate with the Erosion Control Division
concerning the approval of a post -construction stormwater management plan within the county
where no post -construction stormwater management program exists.
11.3 Construction Site Runoff Control Annual Reporting Task Items for FY 2021- 2022
1. The Erosion Control Division will review and approve submitted erosion control plans
and perform corresponding onsite inspections to verify compliance. The annual total of
approved plans as well as onsite inspections will be reported to DEQ.
2. Once the state's new model ordinance is adopted by the Sedimentation Control
Commission, Erosion Control staff will perform a gap analysis and progress with local
ordinance revisions, if needed. An update of this action item will be included in the
upcoming annual report.
3. If needed, staff will issue Notices of Violations and use all enforcement actions outlined in
Chapter 8, Section 8.4 of the City's Unified Development Ordinance to ensure regulatory
compliance. Erosion Control staff will assess the percentage of compliant sites versus the
number of NOVs issued for all active construction sites for evaluating program
effectiveness.
4. Verify the flow process Erosion Control staff uses for ensuring containment of
construction waste streams. Ensure that no construction waste can enter (directly or
indirectly) the MS4 or waters of the State. Erosion Control staff will submit to DEQ the
total number of construction waste issues that were reported to the responsible state/local
agency.
5. To evaluate complaint response effectiveness, the Erosion Control Division will report to
DEQ the total number of successfully resolved illicit sedimentation discharge/release
claims, which are tracked through the city's Citizen Service Request system.
6. Erosion Control staff will report the total number of views from the Erosion Control
Division's website, as an indicator of public interest.

12. POST -CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROLS
Objectives:
Manage stormwater runoff from new development/redevelopment that drains to the MS4
and disturbs an acre or more of land surface, including projects less than an acre that are
part of a larger common plan of development or sale.
2. Provide a mechanism to require long-term operation and maintenance of SCMs.
3. Ensure controls are in place to minimize water quality impacts.
4. Permittee shall not be required to apply post -construction site runoff controls to entities
that are exempt from permittee's jurisdiction, including entities exempted under
N.C.G.S. 113A-56.

12.1(a) Post -Construction Storm Water Management Program: The Stormwater Division oversees
and enforces the city's post -construction stormwater management program. The City of
Winston-Salem has supplemented previous water supply watershed regulations with current
post -construction regulations for Class `C' waters in order to address stormwater runoff from
new and re -developed sites. The current Post Construction Stormwater Management ordinance
was adopted by the City Council on September 19, 2008 and this ordinance applies to all
development within our jurisdictional area (municipal boundary). The City's Post -construction
Ordinance can be located at https:Hlibrary.municode.com/nc/winston-
salem/codes/code of ordinances?nodeld=PTIIICOOR CH75STMA ARTIVPOCOST.
12.1(b) Strategies, which include SCM's Appropriate for the MS4:
Programs with development/redevelopment draining to Nutrient Sensitive waters:
Drainage from the City of Winston-Salem ultimately flows to the Yadkin River, which is the
main tributary for High Rock Lake. High Rock Lake has been classified as nutrient sensitive
and currently has a TMDL in development for Chlorophyll A and turbidity. Currently,
wastewater point sources are being considered for a waste load allocation (WLA) — not
stormwater sources. Structural and non-structural SCMs will be utilized to address the
requirements of 15A NCAC .0126 (10) (e). These SCMs will provide sediment removal, which
ultimately reduces the nutrient inputs to receiving streams. Proper application and storage of
fertilizers is being addressed through a Turf Management Certification, which is administered
by the Stormwater Division and the Forsyth County Cooperative Extension Service in efforts to
reduce nutrient loading to receiving streams.
Fecal Coliform Source Control:
The City of Winston-Salem coordinates with the Forsyth County Department of Public Health
to reduce fecal coliform due to failing/or failed septic tank systems. This process requires the
property owner to either connect to the POTW or repair/replace the septic tank system to
effective operations. The City/County Utilities Commission (CCUC) has an extensive capital
improvement program to rehabilitate failing sections of the sewer collection system.
Stormwater staff works closely with the CCUC to resolve sanitary sewer overflows during dry
weather screening activities or received citizen complaints. In addition, the City of Winston-
Salem has an enforceable ordinance that requires pet owners to pick up fecal matter within its
municipal boundaries. Section 6-12 in the City of Winston-Salem's Municode contains the
sanitation requirements for picking up dog feces, which is posted at
https:HlibrM.municode. com/nc/winston-
salem/codes/code of ordinances?nodeld=PTIIICOOR CH6ANFO S6-12SAREDO.
32

Non -Structural SCM's:
Currently, the City of Winston-Salem has implemented a comprehensive plan for growth — the
Legacy Development Guide, which was adopted in 2012. Environmental quality is a key
subject area, which is addressed with an objective to protect our local watersheds, wetlands, and
streams. The City also has adopted local water supply watershed protection regulations, as
required by NC DWQ. The Unified Development Ordinance regulates development in the
Water Supply watershed areas of the City. Development is subject to zoning restrictions,
erosion control measures, floodplain management and low density development provisions as
they pertain to the water quality criteria of the Post -Construction Stormwater Control Ordinance
such as recording of stream buffers where applicable and use of vegetative conveyances to the
maximum extent practicable.
Structural SCM's:
The City of Winston-Salem's Post Construction Stormwater Management ordinance provides
sizing and performance criteria for water quality SCMs. The City of Winston-Salem has also
adopted the State's Stormwater Design Manual as a technical guide for designing structural
SCMs within its jurisdictional area and thus for use in also providing sizing and performance
criteria, in combination with the ordinance provisions. The ordinance addresses both low
density and high -density development scenarios as regards water quality attenuation. Low
density developments (less than 24 percent built upon area, or less than two dwelling units per
an acre) must meet all of the Minimum Design Criteria (MDC) of the NC DWR Stormwater
Design Manual —Low Density Chapter, to the maximum extent practicable. Such items include
but are not limited to recording of stream buffers where applicable and using vegetative
conveyances to the maximum extent practicable. High density developments (greater than 24
percent built upon area and more than two dwelling units per acre) in addition to meeting all of
the low density non-structural SCM requirements, to the maximum extent practicable, must also
provide structural SCM's. Any SCM or combination of SCM's that are considered "Primary"
SCMs per the Stormwater Design Manual and that can be effectively constructed in the
Piedmont physiographic region may be approved by the Stormwater Engineer. In addition, the
Post Construction Stormwater Management ordinance also includes a local requirement for
water quantity standards if a development creates more than 20,000 square feet of new
impervious area. If that is the case a development must either, (a) design structural SCMs in
order to mitigate detrimental downstream effects of flooding and erosion in various design
storm events, or, in lieu of management provide a "no adverse impact downstream study" if
indeed a no adverse impact situation can be proven.
12.1(c) Deed Restrictions and Protective Covenants: The City of Winston-Salem, as previously
mentioned, created, adopted, and implemented its post -construction ordinance on September 19,
2008. This ordinance includes comprehensive regulatory procedures to ensure compliance.
Right of entry drainage and access easements must be granted to the City to inspect, monitor,
maintain, repair, or to reconstruct the stormwater management system as necessary and these
easements are referenced in the recorded Operation and Maintenance Agreements. Notice of
violations, remedies, and monetary penalties are examples of regulatory tools contained within
the post -construction ordinance that the Stormwater Division utilizes as enforcement
mechanisms. For further reference, the City's Post -construction Stormwater Control Ordinance
(Chapter 75, Article IV) can be located at this link: https://library.municode.com/nc/winston-
salem/codes/code of ordinances?nodeld=PTIIICOOR CH75STMA ARTIVPOCOST
33

12.1(d) Operation and Maintenance Plan: Stormwater staff inspect approved water quantity SCMs
(pre-2008 post -construction ordinance adoption) as well as the Salem Lake Watershed (Water
Supply IV Classification) SCMs on an annual basis. Next, Stormwater staff informs the owners
of record of any deficiencies noted so that they may be addressed. Operation and Maintenance
Agreements are required to be approved, recorded and implemented for all of the developments
located within the Salem Lake Watershed area that require SCM(s) and the owners of such
SCMs are bound to the terms of that agreement.
The City currently has a spreadsheet that tracks all of the developments and redevelopments that
have been submitted to the Stormwater Division for review and compliance with the Post
Construction Stormwater Management ordinance. This spreadsheet includes a list of the
development names, whether or not they are exempt from the ordinance and if exempt an
explanation of why so, and if they are not exempt a description of what provisions of the
ordinance they had to meet as in water quality — (low or high density), or water quantity, or
both. This spreadsheet contains pertinent information, such as project submittal, review notes,
date of permit issuance with corresponding number, the owners contact information of the
stormwater management system, what developments we are currently still waiting on for as -
built records to be submitted, what developments have submitted as-builts and hence are subject
to submitting annual inspection and maintenance records, etc., so that Stormwater staff can
efficiently check or reference any development and its criteria that may have been permitted,
since the ordinance was adopted. The City also maintains "hard" files for all projects listed in
this spreadsheet.
SCMs, within the City limits jurisdiction and approved after the adoption of the post -
construction ordinance, must have an Operation and Maintenance Agreement recorded as part
of the post construction permit process that is binding on the SCM owner. The responsibility of
SCM inspection and maintenance is placed on the designated SCM owner, or Homeowners
Association/Property Owners Association, as applicable, who has signed the recorded Operation
and Maintenance Agreement. The requirements for such inspections and maintenance are
outlined in an Operation and Maintenance Manual that forms part of the overall Operation and
Maintenance Agreement. Beginning after the certification of the as -built drawings for a
permitted stormwater management system, the system must be inspected per the frequency
described in this agreement by a suitably qualified professional on behalf of the owner. The
owner must keep all records of these inspections and any maintenance activities that may have
been necessary and submit these records to the Stormwater Director for review on an annual
basis. The Stormwater Director or his designee may carry out his own inspection to validate
such submitted records.
All structural SCMs approved in accordance with the Post -Construction Stormwater
Management ordinance must have a financial surety that meets the requirements of the
ordinance provisions, in force prior to permit issuance. For a developer who wants to remain
the party responsible in perpetuity for the long term Operation and Maintenance of the system,
the surety shall equal four percent of the estimated construction cost of the Stormwater
management system, verified by submittal of a sealed engineers estimate. This surety is held in
a City maintained account and is non-refundable. The developer may apply for a loan from this
account if needed to address system deficiencies. For SCMs that are to be owned and operated
by a HOA or POA, then the surety that is required is in the form of an escrow account and
escrow agreement. The developer establishes an escrow account at the time of permitting and
deposits 15 percent of the estimated construction cost of the stormwater management system
34

into this account, with the HOA/POA to add further funds in the future. An escrow agreement
must be approved and recorded during the permit process, which allows the City access to this
escrow account, and its funds if needed should a SCM owner fail to comply with maintaining
the system.
The City also requires performance bonding or other cash securities, in accordance with the
Salem Lake Watershed Environmental ordinance provisions, on SCMs proposed and located
within the Salem Lake Water Supply Watershed area.
12.1(e) Educational materials and training for developers: Multiple training and information
sessions were provided by Stormwater Division staff prior to and after the ordinance
implementation in 2008. Educational materials provided include a permit application flowchart,
example of design calculations and other supplementary information such as Operation and
Maintenance Manual templates. These are available on the Stormwater Divisions website. The
Stormwater Engineer and if needed the Stormwater Director, also make themselves regularly
available to meet with developers at their request on an individual basis in the event that they
need guidance on permit policies and procedures before submitting an application for a permit.
The Stormwater Engineer is also a member of the City's Technical Review Committee (TRC)
and attends in person meetings held on a weekly and monthly basis to explain the Post
Construction Stormwater Management permitting process to applicants looking to develop or
redevelop property within the City limits and Salem Lake Watershed. The Stormwater
Engineer has on average three such meetings (individual plus TRC combined) on a weekly
basis. The Stormwater Engineer fulfills multiple meetings and information requests from
developers, owners and citizens either by phone or e-mail on a weekly basis outside of the in
person meetings.
The City maintains a website on the Stormwater Divisions webpage that addresses the city's
post -construction permitting process as well as development requirements within the regulated
Salem Lake Watershed area. This website is used as an educational tool available to all
developers and SCM owners. The website contains items such as, a link to the Post
Construction Stormwater Management ordinance, a link to the NC DWR Stormwater Design
Manual website, the permit flow chart, a link to the permit application and checklists for
submittal, templates for Operation and Maintenance Agreements and Manuals, design examples
or SCMs, templates for inspections and annual compliance reports, a link to the electronic
review submittal system and also a detailed FAQ section that attempts to address most, if not all
of the questions that developers and SCM owners typically have. This website may be found at
hgps://www.cityofws.org/794/Post-Construction-Stormwater-Mana eg ment
12.2 Post -Construction Annual Reporting Task Items for FY 2021— 2022:
Stormwater staff will inspect constructed and approved water quantity control SCMs
within the City limits. These SCMs were designed and constructed prior to the 2008
adoption of the City of Winston-Salem's Post Construction Stormwater Management
ordinance. Inspection results will be disclosed in the FY 2021-2022 Annual Report to NC
DWR.
2. Stormwater staff will inspect the water quality SCMs located within the Salem Lake
Watershed, which were approved under the provisions of the Salem Lake Watershed
35

ordinance. Inspection results will be disclosed to NC DEQ in the FY 2021-2022 Annual
Report.
3. The Stormwater Division will review and permit applicable development plans that
require a Post Construction Stormwater Management permit to be issued. This will
include reviewing development plans for compliance with the water quality provisions of
the ordinance that may be either: (a) low density developments, or, (b) high density
developments that require structural SCMs. These plans and if needed, SCMs, will be
assessed for compliance with the City's Stormwater quantity ordinance provisions.
Stormwater staff will also ensure they review all other development plans that may be
exempt from the ordinance provisions to confirm any or all exemptions and keep a record
of all such exemptions on file.
4. Stormwater staff will continue to maintain an internal spreadsheet of all submitted
developments for review, exempted, or permit issuance. This spreadsheet shall continue
to contain information such as when was a project permitted, what is the permit number,
what is applicable to a particular development — i.e. is it low density development in terms
of water quality or a high density development and if it was a high density development,
what and how many, types of SCMs were permitted, so that an accurate count of all SCMs
permitted throughout our jurisdiction since the adoption of the ordinance can be gathered
if needed. In addition, this spreadsheet should continue to record if a development had to
meet the water quantity requirements of the ordinance and if so, were SCMs provided.
Conversely, if the developer proves that no adverse impact downstream exists, then no
management is required for water quantity.
5. The Stormwater Division will assess how many SCM owners comply with their Operation
and Maintenance responsibilities as regards inspecting and maintaining their systems and
how many of the owners submit their annual compliance reports to the Stormwater
Division, as they are required to do per their permits. If owners fail to comply then the
Penalties and Remedies Section of the ordinance will be implemented, as required.
6. Assess the need for increased educational efforts for structural SCM inspection and
Maintenance after devices have been constructed and have become operational and are
formally under the owner's responsibility per their Operation and Maintenance
Agreement. Particular attention may be needed for the owners of new systems who are
just entering their first year of Operation and Maintenance responsibilities, or for those
owners who are regularly deficient in their annual submittal responsibilities.
7. Assess the number of visits and downloads to and from the Post Construction Stormwater
Website by the Senior Community Educator.
8. Assess the percentages of structural SCMs (since 2008) for operational function (e.g.
functional, underperforming, nonfunctional, and failing). Ensure the overwhelming water
quality and quantity BMPs are functioning as designed by implementation of Items 4 and
5 above. Also, assess the percentages of structural SCMs (mainly quantity devices)
constructed prior to 2008 for performance levels and these include the SCMs both within
the City limits and within the Salem Lake Watershed area.
36

9. Implement a tentative internal City Agreement involving other City Departments (City
Attorney's office, Engineering Department and Property Maintenance Department) to
create and execute, for all City owned SCMs, an Operation and Maintenance Agreement
process that includes an inspection and maintenance criteria and that may also involve
execution of a maintenance contract with an outsider vendor in order to return and to
maintain city -owned structural SCMs to their designed operational effectiveness. In
addition to this, City developments that are lacking in their permitting requirements that
may yet be unfulfilled and submittal of as -built records for those SCMs that were
permitted fully should be addressed. An inventory of all municipally owned structural
SCMs will be maintained by the Stormwater Engineer - a copy of this inventory will be
provided to NC DVWR within Stormwater's Annual Report.
37

13.1(a) Inventory of Municipal Facilities and Operations: In 2020, the Stormwater Division
performed an inclusive assessment of municipal facilities/operations that have a significant
potential for generating polluted stormwater runoff. Subsequently, staff prioritized these
municipal operations for SWPPP creation and implementation due to the magnitude and nature
of activities that each municipal operation provides to the public. Since that time, the
Stormwater Division provides professional services to City entities to create and implement
BMPs for mitigating or eliminating exposure of pollutants to stormwater runoff. The following
tables provide an overview of the City's progression in reducing stormwater pollution from
municipal operations, as of October 11, 2021.

Best Management Practices for Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping for Municipal
Operations
13.1(b) Inspection and Maintenance Program for Municipal Facilities and Operations: The
Stormwater Division has been conducting good housekeeping inspections of municipal
facilities/operations since January 2004. The Stormwater Inspector prioritizes municipal
facilities for an inspection ranking (annual frequency), based upon internal evaluation criteria,
such as site size, nature of operation business practices, chemical or product quantities and/or
toxicity, spill history, general permit issuance or status, etc. Once the inspection ranking list is
finalized, the Stormwater Inspector evaluates the potential of each municipal facility or
operation to generate potential pollutants. If the municipal facility/operation has been issued a
general stormwater permit, the Stormwater Inspector determines onsite conditions and SPPP
compliance with permit requirements. Basic municipal operations or facilities receive an
abbreviated stormwater pollution plan, which concentrates on facility inspections, spill response
procedures, general site maps, and employee training. If needed, the Stormwater Inspector
refers the municipal facility to a qualified consultant for creation of a spill prevention, control,
and counter measure plan (SPCC), which complements SPPP requirements (but not to replace).
The inspection process focuses on current best management practices (BMPs) of
chemical/substances (e.g. salt, gasoline, soil, etc.) storage, waste disposal, outdoor processes
(e.g. vehicle and equipment washing), material unloading, and automotive -related activities. In
addition, Stormwater staff evaluates the effectiveness of structural BMPs, stormwater discharge
outfall(s) condition, off -site erosion, and recommends corrective measures and/or BMP
implementation (nonstructural or structural) for the facility. All generated inspection reports are
posted on an internal shared drive as well as hard copies that are delivered to the Field
Operations Director, Mr. Keith Huff. The Stormwater Division retains an electronic copy and
hard copies of completed inspection forms. Once corrective measures have been installed or
41

implemented, stormwater personnel verify BMP effectiveness. The last comprehensive revision
to the city's municipal inventory database was completed in 2020; an update was finalized by
the Stormwater Division during the 2020-2021 permit year and is located at (G:\Industrial
Inspection & Municipal Goodhousekeeping\MGH&PP Program\Municipal Facilities\Master
Municipal.xlsx
13.1(c) Site Pollution Prevention Plans for Municipal Facilities and Operations: The Stormwater
Division has identified 81municipal facilities/operations that have the significant potential for
generating polluted stormwater runoff. As of October 2021, 61 municipal facilities/operations
have implemented stormwater pollution prevention plans (SPPPs) to remove pollutant exposure
to stormwater runoff (Tables 13.2 and 13.3). 20 municipal facilities/operations have been
designated for site pollution assessments/inspections with SWPPP creation and implementation,
if needed (Table 13.4). The Lowery Street Complex will be evaluated for vehicle -washing
BMPs during the coming permit years. (G:\Industrial Inspection & Municipal
Goodhousekeeping\MGH&PP Program\Municipal Facilities\Master MunicipaLxlsx)
13.1(d) Spill Response Procedures for Municipal Facilities and Operations: For municipally
owned facilities that are not required to apply for a NPDES stormwater permit, an abbreviated
SWPPP has been created and implemented by City staff. A key component of this abbreviated
SWPPP is spill prevention and response plan and procedures that are site -specific. SPPPs
include site maps, facility inspections, GH and PM schedule, and SPPP certification. All SPPPs
have site maps, facility inspections, good housekeeping and preventive maintenance schedules,
and a SPPP certification statement. Each municipal operation/facility performs spill response
training on an annual basis. Table 13.3 contains a list of municipal facilities/operations that
have implemented an abbreviated SPPP.
13.1(e) Prevent or Minimize Contamination of Stormwater Runoff from all areas used for Vehicle
and Equipment Cleaning: Upon inspection of each municipal facility or operation, structural
and nonstructural BMPs are recommended for implementation. Stormwater staff promotes
vehicle/equipment washing at the Lowery Street Complex. These washing bays discharge into
an oil and water separator, which is connected into the sanitary sewer. Parking lots for
abandoned vehicles will be evaluated for installation of an oil and water separator. If BMPs
cannot be installed, the vehicle -washing activities will be performed in accordance with NPDES
requirements; selected BMPs will be incorporated into an abbreviated SWPPP to reflect on -site
practices and measures.
13.1 (f) Streets, Roads, and Public Parking Lots Maintenance: The Stormwater Division has
worked in collaborative efforts with Winston-Salem Transit Authority and Winston-Salem
Department of Transportation in order to identify pollutant -laden stormwater runoff from public
streets, roads, and parking lots. Selected BMPs for implementation include increased street
sweeping, enhanced MS4 trash and sediment removal, issuance of condensed spill response
plans and procedures for hydrocarbon releases and implementing a maintenance program for
existing stormwater control measures, which receive inputs from public streets and roads.
13.1(g) Inspection and Maintenance (I&M) for Municipally -owned or Maintained Stormwater
Control Measures (SCMs) and the Storm Sewer System: City Yard Field Operations has
developed and implemented a comprehensive operation and maintenance (O&M) program for
structural BMPs as well as the MS4. This O&M Program includes (but not limited to) these
activities:
42

Street (right-of-way) structure maintenance (pipes and catch basins) — approximately 50
percent of total MS4 drainage structures are inspected and cleaned (if needed) once a year.
Structure condition is denoted, prioritized for repairing, when required.
Street sweeping — the Sanitation Department ensures that the downtown business core
streets are swept daily to remove pollutants from roadways. The Sanitation Department
utilizes high efficiency vacuum street sweeper for maximum pollutant (e.g. trash, TSS,
fecal coliforms, and nutrient) removal. In addition, numerous municipal facilities (e.g.
Winston-Salem Transit Authority, City Hall North Parking Lot, etc.) utilize high
efficiency vacuum sweepers to remove any potential pollutants (oil and grease, TSS, fecal
coliforms, and nutrients) at a designated service interval.
Structural SCMs maintenance: The Stormwater Engineer will devise a prioritization plan
for SCM maintenance or rehabilitation activities; based on the results of the prioritization
plan, the Field Operations Director will allocate funds and develop a critical path for
returning SCMs to their designed, operating condition. Maintenance activities will
include vegetative control of invasive species, sediment removal from forebays, trash and
debris removal, and inlet and outlet cleaning services.
13.1(h) Staff Training: A web -based presentation (created by the city's Marketing and
Communications Department in August 2021) and booklet is mandatory for all current
municipal employees, which are not administrative positions, to view and synthesize awareness
information regarding good housekeeping practices as well as illicit discharge identification and
detection. Once training has been completed, City departments record each employee's name
and employee ID number for documentation purposes and submit these training logs to the
Senior Community Educator. These educational materials serve for refreshing current
employees' awareness of pollution prevention techniques. In addition, the Stormwater
Inspector performs inspections at specific municipal facilities, where enhanced staff training is
warranted. Lastly, Jason H. Bryant, Safety Inspector with the Risk Management Department,
dispenses IDDE booklets during safety audits for supplementary educational activities.
13.20 Municipal Good Housekeeping and Pollution Prevention Annual Reporting Task Items
for FY 2021-2022:
1. The Stormwater Inspector will perform SPPP audits on selected municipal operations or
facilities. The Stormwater Division will submit the total number of inspected municipal
facilities (with corresponding names) to DEQ. This list is located at G:\Industrial
Inspection & Municipal Goodhousekeening\MGH&PP Prouram\Municipal Facilities.
2. Stormwater staff will request analytical sampling records from municipal operations to
compare pollutant concentrations to benchmark values, if permitted. If excessive
concentrations are observed, the Stormwater Inspector will recommend BMPs (or SCMs)
to the municipal operation for pollutant reduction and permit compliance.
3. Stormwater staff will request a copy of all documented spills from all municipal
operations during site inspections. Documented spills will be located at (G:\Industrial
Inspection & Municipal Goodhousekeeping\MGH&PP Pro rg am\Spill Documentation). In
addition, the Stormwater Inspector will ensure that the municipal operation will have the
proper spill kits and proper contact information on site for elimination and mitigations of
future spills.
4. The Stormwater Engineer will create a prioritization plan for municipally owned SCMs
that need repairing or rehabilitating to its original designed state. This list will be based
43

on the original date of installation, initial cost of SCM, and the design calculation of
anticipated pollutant load reduction. The plan should be created by January 31, 2022.
5. Continue to have new City employees view the stormwater orientation video and receive a
copy of the handbook, Stormwater Runoff Municipal Good Housekeeping and Pollution
Prevention. This will serve as a foundation to educate newly hired city employees. The
Stormwater Division will report the total number of city employees that were trained in
proper MGH & PP practices to DEQ. In addition, the Stormwater Inspector and Senior
Community Educator will continue to perform the annual refresher training for targeted
city employees, which is based on a priority ranking. Priority rankings are based on the
last time a facility was trained and or the last time a major spill has occurred.
6. The City will provide funding to 3RC, a facility that collects, disposes, and/or recycles
household hazardous materials in the city of Winston-Salem. The Stormwater Division
will report the total quantity of recycled household hazardous waste to DEQ.
7. The Sanitation Division will collect and compost leaves and vegetative material. The
Stormwater Division will report the total quantity of recycled vegetative matter to DEQ.
8. City Yard Field Operations will continue to remove and dispose of trash and debris from
the MS4. The Stormwater Division will report the total number of inspected and cleaned
MS4 structures. In addition, the Stormwater Division will report the total tonnage of
disposed material.
9. The Sanitation Division will continue to perform streets sweeping activities within the
municipal limits with increased efforts directed to the Downtown business core. The
Stormwater Division will report the total number of linear miles of swept roads/streets to
DEQ.
10. Evaluate the remaining municipal facilities listed in Table 13.4 for potential creation of
full or abbreviated SWPPPs. Stormwater staff will create a priority ranking of municipal
facilities to be inspected. Next, each municipal facility will be assigned a future
inspection month and year — this task item was completed in October 2021. For FY 2022-
2023, the Field Operations Director will attempt to procure budgetary funding for SPPP
creation of identified municipal operations/facilities.

Best Management Practices for the Program to Monitor and Evaluate Stormwater Discharges to
Municipal Systems:
14.1(a) Maintain an Inventory of Industrial Sites: A complete list has been created by the
Stormwater Division. This list consists of industrial facilities that are permitted as defined by
40 CFR 122.26, SARA Title III, hazardous waste facilities, or identified as having or had an
illicit discharge. The Stormwater Division updated this master list on October 11, 2021;
updating will occur semiannually. All data will be stored digitally in our database and will be
updated semiannually to maintain the most current inventory. This information can be located at
G:\Industrial Inspection & Municipal Goodhousekeepin \Ig ndust_Inspect\City Industrial
Information\Industrial Master.xlsx.
14.1(b) Inspection Program: Our current techniques are based upon revised 2006 EPA inspection
methods, which include observations of effectiveness of nonstructural and structural BMPs, the
facility's stormwater collection system and stormwater discharge outfalls, site maps, and
validation of written SPPP information to actual field observations.
The City of Winston-Salem has prioritized industrial facilities within its municipal limits to be
inspected. The Stormwater Division used the following sources to generate the list:
1. EPA's Envirofacts Database for Toxic Release Inventory (SARA Title III) and RCRA
(hazardous waste treatment, disposal, and recovery) facilities (updated semiannually)
2. NC Department of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources Database (General and Individual
Permitted industrial facilities, as per 40 CFR 122.26) (updated semiannually)
3. The City of Winston-Salem Facilities' Database (municipal operations/facilities that are
permitted under 40 CFR 122.26) (updated semiannually, or as needed)
4. Illicit Discharge Reports (updated as needed and after each occurrence)
When combining the above -mentioned databases, facilities that appeared multiple times due to
their industrial activities and governmental regulations were ranked. As a result, the
Stormwater Division assigned these industrial facilities with a `high -priority' ranking due to the
elevated probability of significant adverse impact to surface waters. The Stormwater Inspector
will target these facilities for inspections; our goal is to inspect every permitted facility once
every five years. Appendix B contains proposed industrial and municipal facilities that will be
inspected during FY 2021-2022 by the Stormwater staff.
14.1(c) Evaluate Industrial Facilities discharging stormwater to the City's MS4: During the SPPP
review, Stormwater staff evaluates first flush data regarding benchmark values from the NPDES
permit to determine to status before arrival. Once onsite for an inspection, a visual field
observation of the stormwater collection system, current and past conditions of stormwater
discharge outfalls (by means of qualitative monitoring records), and effectiveness of
nonstructural and structural BMPs are observed. If needed, Stormwater staff will request copies
of each sampling event to monitor results based upon the status of the permitted facility.
Stormwater staff will update the master list to identify if the permitted facility is located within
a TMDL watershed and/or discharges the TMDL pollutant of concern. The Stormwater
Division maintains a good working relationship with NC DEQ, Winston-Salem Regional
Office. A copy of every completed inspection and re -inspection form must be forwarded to
Levi Hiatt, Assistant Regional Engineer, who handles stormwater related duties for the
46

Winston-Salem Regional Office (WSRO) or the current Assistant Regional Engineer at the time
of submittal.
14.2 Monitor and Evaluate Stormwater Discharges to Municipal Systems Annual Reporting
Task Items for FY 2021— 2022
1. Continue evaluating industrial facilities that discharge stormwater runoff to the city's MS4
for every inspection conducted. The Stormwater Division will report to DEQ the total
number of industries inspected. In addition, the number of industrial facilities that have
successfully achieved compliance by the Stormwater Inspector will be reported. This
information is located at G:\Industrial Inspection & Municipal
Goodhousekeeping\Indust_Inspect\City Industrial Information\Industrial Issues to be
Resolved.xlsx.
2. Continue using all sources to maintain the industrial facility master list and update at the
designated frequency.
3. The Stormwater Inspector will request all sampling data to be sent to the Stormwater
Division, as often as needed to determine compliance. The Stormwater Division will
report to DEQ, WSRO discrepancies in tiered responses as well as sampling frequency,
based on the received data.
4. Update semiannually the city's Industrial Facilities master database from EPA's
Envirofacts Database for Toxic Release Inventory (SARA Title III) ( G:\Industrial
Inspection & Municipal Goodhousekeepina\Indust_ Inspect\City Industrial
Information\TRI\TRI Facilities.xlsx) and RCRA (hazardous waste treatment, disposal, and
recovery) (G:\Industrial Inspection & Municipal Goodhousekeepin \In�dust_Inspect\City
Industrial Information\RCRA\RCRA Facilities by Type Current.xlsx). Stormwater staff
will report to DEQ the total number of facilities inspected that fall under both RCRA and
TRI databases.
5. Update semiannually the city's Industrial Facilities master database NC DEQ Database
(General and Individual Permitted industrial facilities, as per 40 CFR 122.26)
(G:\Industrial Inspection & Municipal Goodhousekeepin \Ig ndust_Inspect\City Industrial
InformationAndustrial Master.xlsx)
6. Updating annually the City of Winston-Salem Facilities' Database of Municipal
Operations/Facilities that are permitted under 40 CFR 122.26. Stormwater staff will
provide a current master list of general -permitted municipal facilities/operations to DEQ
on the annual report.
7. The Stormwater Inspector will maintain and update a spreadsheet that keeps the current
amount of inspections completed per a permit year. The Stormwater Inspector will send a
courtesy copy of each inspection report to the current DEQ, WSRO designated contact,
after each inspection report has been reviewed and approved.

15.1(a) Fixed Interval Stream Sampling Program: Water quality samples are collected on a
quarterly, fixed interval basis at each monitoring site — thirteen monitoring locations have been
strategically selected throughout the municipal boundaries. Samples are collected in a
composite method, except for fecal coliforms, which is a grab sample in accordance with 40
CFR 136.3. Composite samples are collected every 15 minutes in 100 milliliter aliquots for a
24 hour period. Parameters analyzed by a multiparameter meter are immediately obtained and
recorded streamside. Based on the National Sanitation Foundation's Water Quality Index,
Stormwater staff will calculate, rank, and observe water quality trends of these fixed interval
sampling sites. Appendix C provides maps of sampling locations throughout the City of
Winston-Salem that staff conducts water quality assessments. This can be found at the
following location:
G:\Techn_Projects_Files\Water Sampling\Stormwater Sampling Databases.
15.1(a) Water Quality Monitoring Program: On a quarterly basis, we collect instantaneous results at
17 monitoring locations, which have been strategically selected throughout the municipal
boundaries of Winston Salem. The overarching goals of this monitoring program are detection
of illicit discharges/releases as well as evaluating the long-term trend analysis of baseline water
quality within non-TMDL watersheds. Samples are collected in dry and wet weather conditions
48

to detect point sources of illicit discharges as well as determining pollutant loading during all
weather conditions. Stormwater staff collects instantaneous water meter parameters, which
include ammonia (mg/L), pH (standard units), dissolved oxygen saturation percentage,
dissolved oxygen (mg/L), temperature (degrees Celsius), conductivity (microsiemens per a
centimeter), total dissolved solids (mg/L), and nitrate (mg/L). This can be found at the
following location G:\Techn_Projects_Files\Water Sampling\Stormwater Sampling Databases.
15.1(a) TMDL Monitoring Program: On a quarterly basis, Stormwater staff collects instantaneous
water quality parameters (the same parameters listed above) as well as laboratory grab samples
of fecal coliforms at 22 strategic locations throughout Brushy Fork Creek, Peters Creek, and
Salem Creek Watersheds. By collecting a large population of samples, Stormwater staff will be
able to rank impaired stream segments by fecal coliform concentrations. Once stream segments
are ranked, staff will systemically sample and identify the most impaired outfalls or subbasins
for the potential of installing stormwater control measures. The city collects samples in both
dry and wet weather conditions, since the state collected and analyzed fecal coliforms during
these conditions for TMDL development. This methodology will allow Stormwater staff to
perform comparative analyses for evaluating pollutant loading.
15.2 Water Quality Assessment and Monitoring Annual Report Task Items for FY 2021-2022:
1. Stormwater staff will continue to perform quarterly, fixed interval sampling at 13 locations
throughout Winston-Salem for the pollutant parameters of biological oxygen demand, total
suspended solids, total dissolved solids, turbidity, cadmium, chromium, nickel, lead, copper
(total and dissolved), zinc (total and dissolved), phosphorus (total and dissolved), nitrite, nitrate,
total Kjeldahl nitrogen, and fecal coliforms. Stormwater staff will submit all fixed interval
sampling data to DEQ (in tabular form).
2. Stormwater staff will continue to perform quarterly water quality monitoring at 17 locations
for the instantaneous results of ammonia, pH, and dissolved oxygen saturation percentage,
dissolved oxygen, temperature, conductivity, total dissolved solids, and nitrate. Each quarter at
least 50 percent of the instantaneous results taken will be during wet weather and the other 50
percent will be during dry weather conditions.
3. Stormwater staff will continue to perform TMDL monitoring at 22 locations for the
instantaneous parameters of ammonia, pH, and dissolved oxygen saturation percentage,
dissolved oxygen concentration, temperature, conductivity, total dissolved solids, and nitrate.
Total suspended solids and fecal coliforms parameters are analyzed at a certified laboratory.
Each quarter, at least 50 percent of water samples will be collected during wet weather and the
other 50 percent will be collected during dry weather sampling. Stormwater staff will report all
TMDL data to DEQ.
4. Priority rankings of impaired stream segments (with any observable trends) of all fixed
interval sampling and TMDL sites will be reported to DEQ in the FY 2021-2022 annual report.
5. Stormwater staff will evaluate annual pollutant loadings of fixed interval sampling sites.
Any discernible trends or findings will be reported to DEQ.
6. Stormwater staff will calibrate and properly maintain all field instrumentation to ensure the
integrity of analyzed water quality data. Calibration and maintenance activities will occur on a
monthly frequency, in accordance with appropriate technical manuals. These logs are located at
G:\Techn_Projects_Files\YSI and Nitrate Meter Information.
7. When entering water quality data into the Stormwater Division's database, staff will employ
quality control and assurances measures to ensure data accuracy and prevent human error.
49

8. Stream discharge will be calculated during fixed interval sampling events. The calculated
flows will be recorded and housed at G:\Techn_Projects Files\Water Sampling\Fix Interval
Sampling. Discharge will be used to determine annual pollutant loading within local streams.
9. On an annual basis, Stormwater staff will evaluate the city's Water Quality Assessment and
Monitoring Plan in term of program effectiveness and submit any major changes to DEQ for
approval.

16. TOTAL MAXIMUM DAILY LOADS (TMDLs)
Salem Creek Watershed TMDL
Ob i ectives:
1. The permittee shall determine whether the MS4 discharges to receiving waters within a
TMDL watershed and identify the pollutant(s) of concern (POC). For all TMDLs with a
NPDES MS4 regulated stormwater waste load allocation (WLA) assigned to the
permittee, the permittee shall determine whether the POC have potential to occur in MS4
stormwater discharges.
2. The permittee will utilize BMPs within the six minimum measures and the permittee's
TMDL Plan(s) to meet the permittee's assigned NPDES MS4 regulated WLA identified in
the approved TMDL to the maximum extent practical and to the extent allowable by law.
3. If subject to an approved TMDL with a NPDES MS4 regulated WLA assigned to the
permittee, the permittee will be considered in compliance with the TMDL if the permittee
complies with the conditions of this permit, including developing and implementing
appropriate BMPs within the six minimum measures to address the permittee's MS4
NPDES regulated WLA to the maximum extent practical (MEP). While improved water
quality is expected outcome, the permittee's obligation is to implement BMPs designed to
address the NPDES MS4 regulated WLA assigned to the permittee to the maximum extent
practical (MEP). The permittee is not responsible for attaining water quality standards
(WQS). The Division expects attaining WQS will only be achieved through reduction
from all point and nonpoint source contributors identified in the approved TMDL.
TMDL Plans (as it pertains to the city of Winston-Salem):
If the permittee has an existing TMDL Plan designed to address the NPDES MS4
regulated WLA assigned to the permittee, that includes monitoring to evaluate progress,
and which addresses the POC through the six minimum control measures; it satisfies the
objectives of this Section.

16.1(a) Identify, Describe, and Map Watershed, Outfalls, and Streams: The City of Winston-Salem
has completed comprehensive watershed masterplan updates of Salem, Brushy Fork, and Peters
Creek Watersheds in 2011. GIS data was collected for these TMDL watersheds; survey -grade
stormwater MS4 attribute data (e.g. structure type and elevation, pipe diameter and material,
etc.) is collected by a contracted North Carolina Registered Surveyor. A consultant, HDR
Engineering, performs QA/QC measures on the survey data, extrapolates pipe elevations to
integrate flow directional trajectories for tracking IDDE discharges, and then, delivers a
complete geodatabase to the Stormwater Division. During this inventory scan, the surveyor and
HDR staff collects major discharge outfall (SDO) and stream data. If HDR staff encounters any
dry weather flows at major SDOs, the Stormwater Division is notified, and staff evaluates the
unidentified flow for pollutants. If pollutants are detected, Stormwater staff tracks and
eliminates the illicit source. In addition, the Stormwater Division received hydraulic and
hydrological modeling data as well as pollutant loading data for future SCM implementation
projects. A revised reassessment date for these watersheds has been tentatively scheduled for
FY 2022 - 2023.
16.1(b) Existing Measures: The city of Winston-Salem has implemented various stormwater control
measures (SCMs) and nonstructural BMPs in order to reduce fecal coliform loading within the
Salem Creek Watershed. During FY 2021-2022, the Stormwater Division continued to
maintain these programmatic SCMsBMPs:

16.1(c) Assessment of Available TMDL Monitoring Data: The Stormwater Division performed a
programmatic review of its TMDL Sampling Plan in September 2019. One of the salient points
of the review included the lack of a substantial fecal coliform data population. As a result, the
Stormwater Division designated 22 in -stream monitoring locations throughout Salem, Peters,
and Brushy Fork Watersheds. Stormwater staff collects water quality samples on a quarterly
basis; as more data becomes available, Stormwater staff will perform basic statistical analyses
to rank the stream segments by the level of impairment (i.e. the higher the geometric mean at
the sampling location, the more level of pollutant loading). Stormwater staff calculated the
geometric mean (expressed in units of cfu/100 mL) for the 22 TMDL sites and created a priority
ranking, based upon the most polluted stream segments. The top three polluted stream
segments (during dry weather conditions) are Peters Creek at the Antique Dealership (3,862),
Burke Creek at Northbridge Road (Salem Creek Watershed, 3,795), and Brushy Fork at
Reynolds Park Road (2,715). For wet weather conditions, the top impaired stream segments are
Peters Creek at Glenn Avenue (93,800), Bowen Branch at 251h Street (Brushy Fork Creek
Watershed, 19,135), and Peter Creek at the Antique Dealership (16,933). Based on the FY
2020-2021 TMDL fecal coliform sampling data, Peters Creek Watershed is the most impaired
watershed. Within the Peters Creek Watershed, the most impaired stream segment from
Peters Creek at Hanes Park to Peters Creek at the Antique Dealership. For FY 2021-2022,
the Stormwater Division will concentrate reconnaissance and stream monitoring activities to
isolate pollutant -generating sources. Source: Stormwater Division's TMDL PY2020-2021 database
16.1(d) TMDL Monitoring Program: On a quarterly basis, Stormwater staff collects instantaneous
water quality parameters (dissolved oxygen - concentration and percent saturation, total
dissolved solids, conductivity, temperature, pH, nitrate, and ammonia) as well as certified
laboratory results of fecal coliforms at 22 strategic locations throughout Brushy Fork Creek,
Peters Creek, and Salem Creek Watersheds. By collecting a large population of samples,
Stormwater staff will be able to rank impaired stream segments by fecal coliform
concentrations. Once stream segments are ranked, staff will systemically sample and identify
the most impaired outfalls or subbasins for the potential of installing stormwater control
measures. The city collects samples in both dry and wet weather conditions, since the state
collected and analyzed fecal coliforms during these conditions for TMDL development. This
methodology will allow Stormwater staff to perform comparative analyses for evaluating
pollutant loading.
16.1(e) Additional Measures: The city of Winston-Salem anticipates the implementation of numerous
nonstructural BMPs in order to expand current pollutant reduction strategies within the Salem
Creek Watersheds. By expanding current BMP strategies to the maximum extent practical, the
City hopes to benefit from synergic pollutant reductions within the targeted watershed. The
following matrix presents expanded measures (with corresponding explanations) to reduce fecal
coliform loadings within the Salem Creek Watershed:

16.1(g) Incremental Success: The Stormwater Division utilizes various mechanisms to document,
analyze, and report incremental successes to achieve WLA reduction. The methodology used
for documenting measure success (and ultimately, wasteload reduction) depends on measure
type (i.e. nonstructural and structural). However, the Stormwater Division has proposed the
below -posted means for validating pollutant reduction loading to the effectiveness of
implemented control measures. These methods include:
• Perform water quality sampling for targeted pollutants at the inlet and outlet points of a
SCM during the first flush portion of a storm event. Once a SCM is constructed and
operational, Stormwater staff will perform, at a minimum, one confirmation sampling
event, to validate pollutant reduction. The pollutant removal efficiency will be recorded
on a spreadsheet; an annual pollutant reduction will be extrapolated for the SCM.
• Continue to submit completed workload data and programmatic task items to DEQ via the
Annual Report.
• Long-term, in -stream pollutant data will need to be collected, at designated sampling
locations, to observe pollutant deductions in wasteload allocation reductions within
subwatersheds. Due to the dynamic nature of biological ecosystems as well as the large
percentage of pollutant reduction required, the Stormwater Division needs a substantial
data population to observe percent reductions. As the number of SCMs/BMPs increases
within a subwatershed, the Stormwater Division anticipates that the observable, pollutant
trend line should decrease.
• Whenever possible, use scientific journal articles (or similar professionally peer -reviewed
literature), quality controlled/assured laboratory analyses (from a North Carolina certified
laboratory), or professional engineered -sealed material when validating reduction
methodologies for this TMDL Implementation Plan. Any best professional assumptions
must be qualified with footnotes within supporting documents.
16.1(h) Annual Reporting: In order to evaluate program effectiveness, the Stormwater Division will
submit the following documentation to show fecal coliform reduction within the Salem Creek
Watershed. These annual assessment results will be submitted to DEQ via the annual report.
This documentation includes:
• Spreadsheet data of fecal coliform concentrations from all 22 TMDL sampling locations
as well as a priority ranking of impaired stream segments, based on annual geometric
mean.
• Basic statistical data analysis for Salem Creek based on the annual geometric mean, from
Fall 2019 to Summer 2021.

16.3 Muddy Creek Watershed TMDL
In November 2011, the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR)
issued a final report for turbidity impairment of the Muddy Creek Watershed. The Muddy Creek TMDL
designates the City of Winston-Salem's MS4 as a significant contributor of turbidity (i.e. total suspended
solids) pollution. A waste load allocation (WLA) was not assigned to the City's NPDES permit;
however, total suspended solids loading (ton per a day) must be reduced by 58 percent. In accordance
with its NPDES permit, the city must evaluate strategies and adapt BMPs to reduce TSS loading within
the Muddy Creek Watershed.
The Stormwater Division performed a BMP assessment and selected appropriate reduction strategies to
mitigate TSS pollution. These selected BMPs are posted in the below table.

8. The top three polluted stream segments within the city of Winston-Salem (during dry weather
conditions) for TSS concentrations are Mill Creek at Shattalon Drive (89.00), Silas Creek at
McGregor Road (20.4), and Muddy Creek at Frye Bridge Road (20.10) based on the annual
arithmetic mean. For wet weather conditions, the top impaired stream segments are Silas Creek at
McGregor Road (59.73), Lower South Fork Creek at Ebert Road (47.90), and Muddy Creek at
Frye Bridge Road (40.93). It is noteworthy that two out the three sites, Silas Creek at
McGregor Road and Muddy Creek at Frye Bridge Road, are the most polluted, in term of
TSS concentrations. For FY 2021 — 2022, Stormwater staff will focus investigative efforts
