PART 1: INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Stormwater Management Plan(SWMP) is to establish and define the means by which
the Town of Wake Forest will comply with its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES)Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System(MS4)Permit and the applicable provisions of the
Clean Water Act to meet the federal standard of reducing pollutants in stormwater runoff to the maximum
extent practicable.
This SWMP identifies the specific elements and minimum measures that the Town of Wake Forest will
develop,implement, enforce, evaluate and report to the North Carolina Department of Environmental
Quality(NCDEQ)Division of Energy,Minerals and Land Resources(DEMLR)in order to comply with
the MS4 Permit number NCS000467,as issued by NCDEQ. This permit covers activities associated with
the discharge of stormwater from the MS4 as owned and operated by the Town of Wake Forest and
located within the corporate limits of the Town of Wake Forest.
In preparing this SWMP,the Town of Wake Forest has evaluated its MS4 and the permit requirements to
develop a comprehensive 5-year SWMP that will meet the community's needs, address local water
quality issues and provide the minimum measures necessary to comply with the permit. The SWMP will
be evaluated and updated annually to ensure that the elements and minimum measures it contains
continue to adequately provide for permit compliance and the community's needs.
Once the SWMP is approved by NCDEQ, all provisions contained and referenced in this SWMP, along
with any approved modifications of the SWMP, are incorporated by reference into the permit and become
enforceable parts of the permit. Any major changes to the approved SWMP will require resubmittal,
review and approval by NCDEQ, and may require a new public comment period depending on the nature
of the changes.

3.2 Existing MS4 Mapping
The Town-owned and maintained stormwater system collects drainage from 22.72 square miles, and
releases stormwater via 156 major outfalls(over 860 outfalls in total),ranging in size from 12"-13'-6"
(elliptical). The Town has recently logged its entire stormwater system into a GIS database. Several
areas of new construction need to be incorporated. Routine upkeep of the database will be required
moving forward. The Town's GIS information can be viewed online at the following location:
https://www.wakeforestnc.gov/infonnation-technology/gis

3.8 Non-Stormwater Discharges
The water quality impacts of non-stormwater discharges have been evaluated by the Town of Wake
Forest as summarized in Table 6 below. The unpermitted non-stormwater flows listed as incidental do
not significantly impact water quality. The Town of Wake Forest does not evaluate residential and
charity car washing and street washing for possible significant water quality impacts. However,
educational materials are provided online regarding best practices for car washing.
Street washing discharges are addressed under the Pavement Management Program in Part 10 of this
SWMP. The Division has not required that other non-stormwater flows be specifically controlled by the
Town of Wake Forest.
Wash water associated with car washing that does not contain detergents or does not discharge directly
into the MS4 is considered incidental. However,these types of non-stormwater discharges that do
contain detergents have been evaluated by the Town of Wake Forest to determine whether they may
significantly impact water quality. The Town has determined that these impacts may be significant and
has taken corrective actions to address these concerns.
Truck washing procedures have been updated at the Town-managed fire departments. Plans and
procedures are being developed to ensure that vehicle washing and training activities do not discharge
directly to the stormwater system. Additionally, educational material has been posted on the Town's
website to help educated residents and minimize the potential for detergents entering the stormwater
system. More information regarding the Town's education efforts is provided below.

3.9 Target Pollutants and Sources
In addition to those target pollutants identified above,the Town of Wake Forest is aware of other
significant water quality issues within the permitted MS4 area. These include sediment runoff from
active construction sites. Due to the significant amount of proposed development occurring within the
Town of Wake Forest, sediment is likely the number one pollutant. Our erosion and sediment control
program actively addresses this concern. Our construction inspectors regularly inspect active construction
sites to ensure compliance and administer enforcement.
Table 7 below summarizes the water quality pollutants identified throughout Part 3 of this SWMP,the
likely activities/sources/targeted audiences attributed to each pollutant and identifies the associated
SWMP program(s)that address each. In addition,the Town of Wake Forest has evaluated schools,
homeowners and businesses as target audiences that are likely to have significant stormwater impacts.
Public outreach in schools brings opportunity for education and involvement among students and their
families. Similarly, outreach to the target audiences of businesses and homeowners increases awareness to
stormwater best management practices of target pollutants.
The Town of Wake Forest has evaluated our land use percentages to determine the best approach for
target audiences. Currently 70% of our land use is residential,which leads us to believe targeting
homeowners and schools may have the biggest impact. An annual evaluation of our evolving land usage
will help us determine where we should focus our stormwater education and outreach.

4.2 Program Funding and Budget
In accordance with the issued permit,the Town of Wake Forest shall maintain adequate funding and
staffing to implement and manage the provisions of the SWMP and comply with the requirements of the
NPDES MS4 Permit. The budget includes the permit administering and compliance fee,which is billed
by the Division annually.
The 2024-2025 budget for the Town's stormwater department is approximately$3 million. Of this
budget, $1.5 million is set aside for existing services(maintenance, equipment, salaries, etc.), $500,000
for new services,and the rest is allocated for new projects/initiatives on our Stormwater Capital
Improvements List. This funding is substantially higher than previous years due to a newly approved
Stormwater Utility,which goes into effect this fiscal year.
Within the Town's 2025-2029 CIP, several projects are listed that address water quality and overall
stormwater infrastructure improvements. These projects include two neighborhood studies to address
drainage concerns, a SCM rehabilitation and potential redesign, stream restoration projects in Tom's
Creek,a Downtown stormwater analysis,and a culvert repair that's also paired with stream restoration. In
addition,we have a project that has been split into two phases: Phase I is getting completed in calendar
year 2024 from American Rescue Plan Act funding, and Phase II will be funded through the stormwater
utility budget in 2024-2025. The Town's CIP is available to the general public online.
The stormwater program is overseen by 1 fully dedicated staff member(Nick Nolte), assistance from 3
other full-time staff members (Chris Glass,Kevin Kirsch, and Jessica Watkins), as well as 5 full-time
construction inspectors, and other maintenance staff. One additional position was requested to manage
the new Stormwater Utility.
The Town is aware of MS4 program requirements and has shown a willingness to support as needed.
Responsible positions have been made aware of permit obligations and actively coordinate with the
Stormwater Administrator to ensure those best management practices described in Tables 11-21 below
are being met.

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

PART 10:POLLUTION PREVENTION AND GOOD HOUSEKEEPING PROGRAMS
This SWMP provides a comprehensive pollution prevention and good housekeeping strategy for the
Town of Wake Forest municipal facilities and operations. Pollution prevention and good housekeeping is
accomplished through the implementation of seven required programs,which collectively address the
ultimate goal of preventing or reducing pollutant runoff from municipal operations such as parks and
open space maintenance, fleet and building maintenance,new construction and land disturbances, and
municipal storm sewer system maintenance.
Pollution prevention and good housekeeping for municipal operations includes the following programs:
1. Municipal Facilities Operation and Maintenance Program
2. Spill Response Program
3. MS4 Operation and Maintenance Program
4. Municipal SCM Operation and Maintenance Program
5. Pesticide,Herbicide and Fertilizer Management Program
6. Vehicle and Equipment Maintenance Program
7. Pavement Management Program
The Town of Wake Forest will manage,implement and report the pollution prevention and good
housekeeping BMPs as specified in Table 21 below for each required program.
