712. Target Audience (SW101710)
The target audiences for the education program include the general public (newspaper
editorials), school children, Internet users and existing utility customers. These audiences were
chosen because they represent a broad cross section of Kannapolis's residents, businesses and
industries. Schocl children are probably the most impressionable audience and the one most
open to a message about pollution prevention. Take-home materials are also helpful since they
encourage discussions between children and their parents concerning stormwater issues. Utility
bill inserts are an inexpensive way to reach a large number of business and industrial clients.
The City will be using other methods of distribution for educational information in the third permit
cycle. The Internet provides open access to all members of the public that desire more detailed
information on the stormwater program.

Pollutant sources targeted in this control measure include those sources or activities that produce
trash, floatables, chemicals and waste oils, fecal coliform and sediment/erosion. To address
targeted sources, stormwater pollution prevention messages target various groups. For children,
the messages focus on pollutant sources that are easy to see and understand (e.g. trash,
floatables). There has also been an effort toward helping children understand the nature of the
storm sewer system (i.e. the water which goes down the storm drain is not treated before it
enters the river), Messages targeted to industry focus on good pollution prevention strategies
and emphasize that, through the Good Housekeeping/Pollution Prevention Minimum Control
Measure; the City is acting as an example to industry. The Utility Bill Inserts target homeowners
with messages directed to proper disposal of hazardous waste and proper use of lawn and
garden chemicals. Faulty septic systems and related fecal coliform problems will be included as a
topic on the Stormwater microsite.
7.1.4. Outreach Program (SW101730)
The program, as referenced in the BMP Table 7.1.1, has included:
1. Newspaper opinion pieces written by the City Manager or guest editorialists that
presented the City viewpoint on Stormwater Management issues. This is a widely read
column and was a good venue to provide the public a first look at Stormwater issues.
2. The existing school information packet program was expanded to include age -
targeted messages related to Stormwater pollution prevention. This included information
about how children and their parents could get involved in existing Cabarrus County
pollution prevention efforts (see section 7.2 for these public involvement activities).
Updated: September 12, 2016

NPDES PHASE II — Comprehensive Stormwater Management Program Report
3. The utility bill inserts presented brief messages in a format with which the public was
already familiar. Billings to businesses and industry contained more detailed and targeted
messages.
4. The web microsite is a general repository for contact information and easily accessible
City documents related to Stormwater.
5. Three brochures that focus on proper car washing techniques, cleaning and disposal
activities for restaurants, and proper landscaping and pest control techniques were
distributed to various audiences within in the City.
6. The continued operation of the City's hotline/ helpline number which regularly fields
phone calls from the general public regarding potential illicit discharges.
The City reached approximately 20,000 people with some Stormwater related message over
the course of the first 5-year permit cycle.
715, Decision Process
The City decided to use the methods described in Table 7.1.1 because these presented the best
balance between cost and effective education. The City conducted a review of all existing or
anticipated education efforts and chose those that would reach a broad audience. The four BMPs
chosen are all existing, well proven, methods by which the City communicates with its citizens.
The measurable goals are directly related to the target audiences the City would like to reach.
The responsible party for carrying out BMP 1 is the City manager since in involves a newspaper
column regularly written by the City Manager. The City Manager could designate another party to
write about specific Stormwater issues where appropriate. BMPS 2-4 are the responsibility of the
Public Information Officer since that individual was already involved in communicating with the
public via those methods.
7.1.6, Evaluation
The Environmental Stewardship Commission (ESC) was created in 2008 to address the current
and future need to value and protect the City's natural resources and to achieve sustainable
growth. The group provides policy recommendations to City Council and works on programs and
activities related to environmental stewardship. The group meets annually to review all
measurable goals to determine if they are being effectively met and if the BMPs are still the best
choice to attain the overall stormwater management program objective. This process will
continue into the third permit cycle.

NPDES PHASE II — Comprehensive Stormwater Management Program Report
7.3.2, Storm Sewer System Map (SW103220)
In order to develop a storm sewer system map the City has identified City owned, operated or
maintained roads, drainage easements and City owned property and traversed these areas in
search of storm water discharge features, All the qualifying discharges to the "Waters of the
State" (as established in the City's NPDES Permit) within these areas were identified as City
Outfalls during the first 5-year permit term, located using a field mapping interface, and the
corresponding attribute information was collected. All pipes of 12" diameter and greater and
outfall channels of equivalent size were inventoried.
The City has also begun developing a system inventory map to prioritize preventative
maintenance or replacement efforts, to assist with infrastructure master planning, and to track
and prevent pollutants from a spill from reaching a local waterbody. It is the intent of the City to
incorporate this data into its current work order management system. The City initially
performed a storm water system inventory pilot project to provide the budgetary and procedural
framework for a complete subsequent system inventory mapping effort. This enabled testing of
the database design and work procedures. In addition, the City can now better project costs and
resources needed to complete the full storm sewer system inventory. The system inventory
process consisted of mapping al! storm water drainage point features, collecting all appropriate
corresponding attribute data, and generating a model of the linear drainage network by also
mapping all linear drainage features and collecting associated attribute data. The resulting
dataset is a closed topological network with embedded relationships between the point features
that collect storm water runoff and the linear features that convey the runoff from one feature to
another and ultimately to the aforementioned "Waters of the State".
As funding becomes available as the third permit term approaches, the City will entertain
mapping other portions of the MS4, as well. The City also integrates the mapping effort into a
Geographic Information System (GIS).
7.3.3. Regulatory Mechanism (SW103340)
In the first permit term, the City developed a comprehensive ordinance enabling this and other
stormwater management program initiatives. The mechanism provides for definition and
prohibition of illicit non-stormwater discharges, and inspection for and elimination of such
discharges. The language prohibiting illicit discharges can be found in the City of Kannapolis
Code of Ordinances — Part 2 Code, Chapter 17 Water and Sewers, Article V.
Stormwater Utility, Control, and Management, Division 4. Stormwater Control and
Management.
7.3.4. Enforcement (SW103350)
The ordinance provides for enforcement actions to be taken for illicit discharge violations,
including levying penalties against offenders and providing compensatory measures to the City
should intervention and removal of the discharge become necessary. The enforcement
methodology involves notification of the property owner, establishing a reasonable timeframe in
which to address the occurrence, and issuance of.notices of violation and fines.
7.3.5. Detection and Elimination (SW103360)
The City's approach to detect and eliminate illicit discharges started with a general evaluation of
the system. The evaluations consisted of dry outfall mapping (greater than 72 hours without
rainfall), conducted during prolonged dry periods (typically during the summer months over the
permit cycle). A complete evaluation process began by subdividing the City into sections to be
Updated: September 12. 2016 14

NPDES PHASE II -- Comprehensive Stormwater Management Program Report
mapped and evaluated over the course of the first permit term. The City was broken into four (4)
areas which were prioritized in an order to which the area with the highest potential for iiiicit
discharges was inventoried first (See Phased Outfali Inventory Area Map below). As the
evaluation of each section was completed, the effort in that section moved to illicit discharge
source determination. Once a discharge was detected, the property owner was notified of the
corrective action required.
In addition, the City utilizes a telephone and webpage hotline to field complaints by City
residences. These complaints are responded to in a timely manner and are tracked by
CityWorks, the City's Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS).
The City also conducts an annual employee training event that teaches field staff how to identify
potential illicit discharges and report them to the City's Stormwater Manager to initiate removal or
enforcement procedures.

7.3,5.1, Procedures for Locating Priority Areas (SW103380)
The aging infrastructure that centers on the Canon Mill Village is a location of interest to the City,
as this portion of the system is very old and likely contains a number of illicit connections. System
wide, dry weather evaluations of storm sewer outfalls have been conducted to identify potential
problem areas. Furthermore, all potential illicit discharges detected during the storm sewer
system inventory were reported to the Stormwater Manager for removal or enforcement
procedures. Secondly, on -site inspections have been conducted in conjunction with annual Fire
Department Hazardous Materials Inspections and the annual Backflow Prevention program.
7,3.5.2. Procedures for Tracing the Source (SW103390)
The City annually trains employees on illegal dumping, illicit discharge and ways to identify illicit
connections. During the outfall and system inventory activities, upon discovery of a dry weather
flow, the survey documents the location and attempts to follow the flow upstream and through
the system to its source. The City uses several different methods to identify illicit connections
including smoke testing and camera scoping, as available. Tracing suspect discharges through
the storm sewer system continued through the second permit term. The City's procedures for
identifying and eliminating illicit discharges can be found on file at the City.
7,3,5.3. Procedures for Removing Source (SW103400)
Discovered sources have been documented and the property owner(s) have been notified of the
necessary remedial measures and timeframe in which to complete them. In the case of fecal
coliform discharge, the Cabarrus Health Alliance and the Rowan County Health Department has
been notified. In addition, the City utilizes a telephone and webpage hotline to field complaints
by City residences on potential illicit discharges. These complaints are responded to in a timely
manner and are tracked by the City's Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS).
The City's procedures for identifying and eliminating illicit discharges can be found on file at the
City (Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) Program Procedures Manual).
7.3.5.4. Procedures for Evaluation of the Plan (SW103410)

T3,7 Other Incidental Non-Stormwater Discharge (SW103620)
In the second permit term other incidental non-stormwater discharges were addressed.
Occasional, non-commercial car washing (e.g. charity events, churches, etc.) and other non-
stormwater discharges were reviewed. Limitations on the frequency of events (estimated three
times per year) and location (prohibited within critical watershed areas) was considered.
718 Outreach (SW103730)
A major constituent is to inform the public about the hazards of illicit discharges and illegal
dumping through the methods discussed in the Public Education component. A significant focus
of the Education Program is to create an awareness of the direct relationship between the MS4
and the local streams. This information has been integrated into the training program that has
been developed. In the first and second permit cycle presentations about the importance of
water quality were made by the City staff at various schools around the City. A more formalized
plan to educate the City's school system will be developed during the third permit term.
7.3.9. Decision Process
The program approach for illicit discharge detection and elimination was developed as the most
effective way to meet the requirements of the measure with the amount of available funding the
City had at the beginning of the first permit term. Mapping, ordinance measures, employee
training and public awareness were developed first to provide a foundation for the program. After
some mapping was completed and employees trained, then the detection and elimination
portions of the program proceeded. Realistic expectations were used to formulate BMPs, the
implementation schedule and measurable goals. The responsible person for the program is the
Public Works Director delegating authorities to the Stormwater Manager.
7.3,10. Evaluation
The Environmental Stewardship Commission (ESC) was created in 2008 to address the current
and future need to value and protect the City's natural resources and to achieve sustainable
growth. The group provides policy recommendations to City Council and works on programs and
activities related to environmental stewardship. The group meets annually to review all
measurable goals to determine if they are being effectively met and if the BMPs are still the best
choice to attain the overall stormwater management program objective. This process will
continue into the third permit cycle.

7.5.3, Structural BMPs
The UDO currently prescribes development: that exceeds 20,000 square feet of impervious
coverage to maintain the pre -development runoff discharge from the 1-year and 10-year design
storm events. Structural BMP design is wholly adopted from the North Carolina Department of
Environmental and Natural Resources (NCDENR) Manual of Stormwater Best Management
Practices.
Updated: September 12, 2016 22

NPDES PHASE II — Comprehensive Stormwater Management Program Report
7.5.4. Regulatory Mechanism
The purpose of the City's Article 9 Environmental Control Regulations ordinance is to protect,
maintain and enhance the public health, safety, environmental and general welfare by
establishing minimum requirements and procedures to control the adverse effects of increased
post -development stormwater runoff and nonpoint and point source pollution associated with
new development and significant redevelopment as well as illicit discharges into municipal
stormwater systems. This ordinance became effective on July 31, 2008 and has been reviewed
by NCDENR.
7.5.5. Operation and Maintenance
Section 9.4.2 of the Environmental Control Regulations requires that an Operation and
Maintenance Agreement be obtained that requires the owner or owners or successors in interest
to maintain, repair and, if necessary, reconstruct the structural BMP, and shall state the terms,
conditions, and schedule of maintenance for the structural BMP.
The current reporting, notification and enforcement mechanism was updated in the second
permit cycle to more effectively provide for corrective action procedures against BMP owners in
violation of set standards in the second permit term. Designated City staff members are
responsible for obtaining annual maintenance inspection reports from qualified professionals, and
report the number of inspections, notifications and corrective actions completed in the annual
report.
The program also coordinates with the Cabarrus Health Alliance and the Rowan County Health
Department to assess measures to control sources of fecal coliform.
7.5.6. Decision Process
In the first permit term City staff and Council -appointed members were involved in the Cabarrus
Regional Technical and Stakeholder committees consisting of other municipalities, agencies, and
interested parties who have worked on Phase II issues. This quorum of opinion helped to direct
the City's effort toward formulating its approach to this measure. With the LIDO in place, the City
reviewed the recommendations of the committees within the current framework of staffing and
resources. The priority for the City was to meet the minimum program requirements by March
10, 2005, and then as the program progressed, assess the viability of moving toward the more
comprehensive regional approach over the life of the program. The City will continue moving
toward utilizing a more regional approach for meeting this requirement in the third permit term.
Cooperative strategies between the City and both the Cabarrus Health Alliance and the Rowan
County Health Department have been developed to effectively handle the issue of controlling
fecal coliform bacteria.
7.5.7. Evaluation
The Environmental Stewardship Commission (ESC) was created in 2008 to address the current
and future need to value and protect the City's natural resources and to achieve sustainable
growth. The group provides policy recommendations to City Council and works on programs and
activities related to environmental stewardship. The groups meets annually to review all
measurable goals to determine if they are being effectively met and if the BMPs are still the best

• Vehicle and Equipment Maintenance
• Sewer System Maintenance
• Material Storage Yard
• Equipment Storage
• Street Sweeping
7,6.3. Training (SW106000)
Municipal employee training for various City Departments is held yearly and began during the
first permit term. Particular emphasis is placed on the Public Works Department and targets
street sweeping, chemical application, mowing and clearing activities, automotive fluid and
chemical disposal, illicit discharge detection and elimination, etc. Informational materials available
from the State are used to inform City employees about stormwater, how to report violations and
good housekeeping measures for municipal operations. Training may also be available from such
resources as a local or regional hazardous spill response team, or the fire department and
implemented in the third permit term.
7.6.4, Maintenance and Inspections (SW106030)
The City implements Standard Operating Procedures (Water Quality Protection Guidelines and
Standard Operating Procedures Manual) for its facilities that cover the correct method of
conducting individual operations at the facility. To reduce pollutants in the MS4, the Public Works
Department provides street sweeping for all City -maintained streets. Street sweeping activities
are regular, but are not scheduled. City employees clean storm sewer piping on an as needed
basis, at present. The City incorporated a regular schedule of preventative maintenance
operations for the system in the first permit term,
The City has been performing annual inspections of City owned facilities that have the potential
to negatively affect the water quality of the receiving waters. The City has performed inspections
at the following City owned locations:

The street sweeper is used on an as needed basis to clean all City -maintained parking lots, Salt
storage areas are covered under a permanent structure. The City also employees a wash bay for
cleaning all City vehicles and equipment.
7.6.6. Waste Disposal (SW106050)
All waste collected from the storm sewer system is deposited in dumpsters, collected and hauled
by a contracted waste disposal service to the CMS Landfill.
7.6.7. Flood Management Projects
The City currently institutes development standards to prohibit building in flood -prone areas. The
City's program coordinates with the Federal Emergency Management Association on flood control
measures.
7.6.8. Existing Ordinances
Existing ordinances and programs are subject to review by staff and City Council,
7.6.9. Decision Process
The pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) for the Public Works Operation Center was developed by
recognizing existing policies and practices that impact water quality and systematically addressing
each individually. The deficiencies in these policies were noted and incorporated into
recommendations that can be found in the Municipal Facility Stormwater Inspection Reports as
mentioned in Section 7.6.4 above. Important factors considered in the recommendations were
the requirement of employee training, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPS) and documenting
current functions of municipal operations that have impact on water quality.
7.6.10, Evaluation
The Environmental Stewardship Commission (ESC) was created in 2008 to address the current
and future need to value and protect the City's natural resources and to achieve sustainable
growth. The group provides policy recommendations to City Council and works on programs and
activities related to environmental stewardship. The group meets annually to review all
measurable goals to determine if they are being effectively met and if the BMPs are still the best
choice to attain the overall stormwater management program objective. This process will
continue into the third permit cycle.

NPDES PHASE II — Comprehensive Stormwater Management Program Report
City of Kannapolis, North Carolina
4) 1.0 STORM SEWER SYSTEM INFORMATION
1.1. Population Served
The City of Kannapolis MS4 serves approximately 50,000 residents, all of who are permanent
residents. The City has no seasonal populace.
1.2. Growth Rate
Based on the decennial census data (1990 and 2000), the City of Kannapolis is increasing at an
annualized rate of 2.4 percent. Growth is expected to accelerate to more than 3% per year
through 2010. Population projections place the 2010 Kannapolis population at 50,087 and the
2025 population at 70,963. The estimates are very conservative in that they do not account for
the potential for aggressive annexation to the east and west.
1.3. Jurisdictional and MS4 Area Served
The City of Kannapolis jurisdictional area currently encompasses 35.28 square miles, of which
4.74 square miles is Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) and 0.83 square miles is water area. The
MS4 serves 30.54 square miles, which does not include the ETJ or water areas.
1.4. MS4 Conveyance System
The City of Kannapolis Stormwater System consists of a combination of piping; open vegetated
conveyances, and sheet flow. Per the City Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), all new city
streets constructed by private developers must have curb and gutter Stormwater systems, and
structural BMPs to handle stormwater runoff for developments over 20,000 square feet of
impervious area are required. The system is maintained by the Streets and SW Departments,
which is a function of the Public Works Department.
1.5. Land Use Composition Estimates
Residential:
65%
Commercial:
12%
Industrial:
08%
Open Space:
15%
1.6. Estimate Methodology
The land use composition estimates were calculated from the City's current zoning map, then
open space was estimated based on the combined areas of City maintained parks, cemeteries
and greenways and water supplies.
1.7. TMDL Identification
The City of Kannapolis has received no TMDL notification in the first permit cycle.

contents of the second cycle permit, the same BMP's will apply for the next 5-year permit cycle until a new permit is
issued to the City,
7.1.2. Target Audience
For the first and second permit cycles, the target audiences for the education program include
the general public (newspaper editorials), school children, Internet users and existing utility
customers. These audiences were chosen because they represent a broad cross section of
Kannapolis's residents, businesses and industries. School children are probably the most
impressionable audience and the one most open to a message about pollution prevention. Take-
home materials are also helpful since they encourage discussions between children and their
parents concerning stormwater issues. Utility bill inserts are an inexpensive way to reach a large
number of business and industrial clients. The Internet provides open access to all members of
the public that desire more detailed information on the stormwater program.
7.1.3. Target Pollutant Sources
Pollutant sources targeted in this control measure include those sources or activities that produce
trash, floatables, chemicals and waste oils, fecal coliform and sediment/erosion. To address
targeted sources, stormwater pollution prevention messages will be targeted to various groups.
For children, the messages will focus on pollutant sources that are easy to see and understand

NPDES PHASE II — Comprehensive Stormwater Management Program Report
City of Kannapolis, North Carolina
(e.g. trash, floatables). There will also be an effort toward helping children understand the nature
of the storm sewer system (i.e. the water which goes down the storm drain is not treated before
it enters the river). Messages targeted to industry will focus on good pollution prevention
strategies and will emphasize that, through the Good Housekeeping/Pollution Prevention
Minimum Control Measure, the City is acting as an example to industry. The Utility Bill Inserts will
target homeowners with messages directed to proper disposal of hazardous waste and proper
use of lawn and garden chemicals. Faulty septic systems and related fecal coliform problems will
be included as a topic on the Stormwater microsite.
7.1.4. Outreach Program
The program, as referenced in the BMP Table 7.1.1, included newspaper opinion pieces written
by the City Manager or guest editorialists and presented the City viewpoint on Stormwater
Management issues. This is a widely read column and is a good venue to provide the public a
first look at Stormwater issues. The existing school information packet program will be expanded
to include age -targeted messages related to Stormwater pollution prevention. This will include
information about how children and their parents can get involved in existing Cabarrus County
pollution prevention efforts (see section 7.2 for these public involvement activities). The Utility
Bill inserts will present brief messages in a format with which the public is already familiar.
Billings to businesses and industry may contained more detailed and targeted messages. The
web microsite is a general repository for contact information and easily accessible City documents
related to Stormwater. The City expected to reach about 20,000 people with some Stormwater
related message over the first permit cycle.
7.1.5. Decision Process
The City decided to use the methods described in Table 7.1.1 because these present the best
balance between cost and effective education. The City conducted a review of all existing or
anticipated education efforts and chose those that would reach a broad audience. The four BMPs
chosen are all well proven methods by which the City communicates with its citizens. The
measurable goals are directly related to the target audiences the City would like to reach. The
responsible party for carrying out BMP 1 was the City manager since it involved a newspaper
column regularly written by the City Manager. BMPs 2-4 are the responsibility of the Public
Information Officer since that individual was already involved in communicating with the public
via those methods. Similar BMPs are expected to be implemented by the City in the second
permit cycle.
7.1.6. Evaluation
The Assistant City Manager, Public Works Director, Stormwater Manager, Engineering Technician,
Public Information Officer and other interested parties meet to review all measurable goals to
determine if they are being effectively met and if the BMPs are still the best choice to attain the
overall objective. This process will continue in the second permit cycle.

7.3.2. Storm Sewer System Map
In order to develop a storm sewer system map the City identify City owned, operated or
maintained roads, drainage easements and City owned property and traversed these areas in
search of storm water discharge features. All the qualifying discharges to the "Waters of the
State" (as established in the City's NPDES Permit) within these areas were identified as City
Outfalls, located using a field mapping interface, and the corresponding attribute information was
collected. All pipes of 12" diameter and greater and outfall channels of equivalent size were
inventoried.
• The City has also begun developing a system inventory map to prioritize preventative
maintenance or replacement efforts, to assist with infrastructure master planning, and to track

•
NPDES PHASE II — Comprehensive Stormwater Management Program Report
City of Kannapolis, North Carolina
and prevent pollutants from a spill from reaching a local waterbody. It is the intent of the City to
incorporate this data into its current work order management system. The City initially
performed a storm water system inventory pilot project to provide the budgetary and procedural
framework for a complete subsequent system inventory mapping effort. This enabled testing of
the database design and work procedures. In addition, the City can now better project costs and
resources needed to complete the full storm sewer system inventory. The City selected a pilot
area that had the highest potential to contain potential illicit discharges. Consequently, this area
was determined to be in the most urbanized and oldest part of the City which has the most
potential for a compromised storm sewer system. The system inventory process consisted of
mapping all storm water drainage point features, collecting all appropriate corresponding
attribute data, and generating a model of the linear drainage network by also mapping all linear
drainage features and collecting associated attribute data. The resulting dataset is a closed
topological network with embedded relationships between the point features that collect storm
water runoff and the linear features that convey the runoff from one feature to another and
ultimately to the aforementioned "Waters of the State".
As funding becomes available as the second permit term proceeds, the City will consider mapping
other portions of the MS4, as well. The City also integrates the mapping effort into a Geographic
Information System (GIS).
7.3.3. Regulatory Mechanism
In the first permit term, the City developed a Stormwater Management Ordinance enabling this
and other Stormwater management program initiatives. The mechanism provides for definition
and prohibition of illicit non-stormwater discharges, and inspection for and elimination of such
discharges. The ordinance came into effect on X/XX/XXXX.
7.3.4. Enforcement
The ordinance provides for enforcement actions to be taken for illicit discharge violations,
including levying penalties against offenders and providing compensatory measures to the City
should intervention and removal of the discharge become necessary. The enforcement
methodology involves notification of the property owner, establishing a reasonable timeframe in
which to address the occurrence, and issuance of notices of violation and fines.
7.3.5. Detection and Elimination
The City's approach to detect and eliminate illicit discharges started with a general evaluation of
the system. The evaluations consisted of dry outfall mapping (greater than 72 hours without
rainfall), conducted during prolonged dry periods (typically during the summer months over the
permit cycle). A complete evaluation process began by subdividing the City into sections to be
mapped and evaluated over the course of the first permit term. The City was broken into four (4)
areas which were prioritized in an order where the area with the highest potential for illicit
discharges was inventoried first. As the evaluation of each section was completed, the effort in
that section moved to illicit discharge source determination. Once a discharge was detected, the
property owner was notified of the corrective action required.
In addition, the City utilizes a telephone and webpage hotline to record complaints by City
residences. These complaints are responded to in a timely manner and are tracked by the City's
Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS).
12

NPDES PHASE II — Comprehensive Stormwater Management Program Report
City of Kannapolis, North Carolina
OThe City also conducts an annual employee training event that teaches field staff how to identify
potential illicit discharges and report them to the City's Stormwater Manager to initiate removal or
enforcement procedures.
7.3.5.1. Procedures for Locating Priority Areas
The aging infrastructure that centers on the Canon Mill Village is a location of interest to the City,
as this portion of the system is very old and likely contains a number of illicit connections. System
wide, dry weather evaluations of storm sewer outfalls have been conducted to identify potential
problem areas. See Section 7.3.5 Detection and Elimination for more information. Furthermore,
all potential illicit discharges detected during the storm sewer system inventory were reported to
the Stormwater Manager for removal or enforcement procedures. Secondly, on -site inspections
have been conducted in conjunction with annual Fire Department Hazardous Materials
Inspections or the annual Backfiow Prevention program.
7.3.5.2. Procedures for Tracing the Source
The City annually trains employees on illegal dumping, illicit discharge and ways to identify illicit
connections. During the outfall and system inventory activities, upon discovery of a dry weather
flow, the survey documents the location and attempts to follow the flow upstream and through
the system to its source. The City uses several different methods to identify illicit connections
including smoke testing and camera scooping, as available. Tracing suspect discharges through
the storm sewer system will continue through the second permit term.
7.3.5.3. Procedures for Removing Source
Discovered sources have been documented and the property owner(s) have been notified of the
necessary remedial measures and timeframe in which to complete them. In the case of fecal
coliform discharge, the Cabarrus Health Alliance and the Rowan County Health Department has
been notified.
7.3.5.4. Procedures for Evaluation of the Plan
The number of illicit discharges/connections found and notified, and the number of those
removed have been documented.

7.3.7 Other Incidental Nan-Stormwater Discharge
In the second permit term other incidental non-stormwater discharges will be addressed.
Occasional, non-commercial car washing (e.g. charity events, churches, etc.) and other non-
stormwater discharges will be reviewed. Limitations on the frequency of events (estimated three
times per year) and location (prohibited within critical watershed areas) will be considered.
7.3.8 Outreach
A major constituent is to inform the public about the hazards of illicit discharges and illegal
dumping through the methods discussed in the Public Education component. A significant focus
of the Education Program is to create an awareness of the direct relationship between the MS4
and the local streams. This information has been integrated into the training program that has
been developed. In the first permit cycle presentations about the importance of water quality
were made by the City staff at various schools around the City. A more formalized plan to
educate the City's school system will be developed during the second permit term.
7.3.9. Decision Process
The program approach for illicit discharge detection and elimination was developed as the most
effective way to meet the requirements of the measure with the amount of available funding the
City had at the beginning of the first permit term. Mapping, ordinance measures, employee
training and public awareness were developed first to provide a foundation for the program. After
some mapping was completed and employees trained, then the detection and elimination
portions of the program proceeded. Realistic expectations were used to formulate BMPs, the
implementation schedule and measurable goals. The responsible person for the program is the
Public Works Director delegating authorities to the Stormwater Manager.
7.3.10. Evaluation
The Assistant City Manager, Public Works Director, Stormwater Manager, Engineering Technician,
Public Information Officer and other interested parties meet to review all measurable goals to
determine if they are being effectively met and if the BMPs are still the best choice to attain the
overall objective. This process will continue in the second permit cycle.
Upon an evaluation, in the second permit term, it may be necessary to revise the illicit discharge
ordinance in order to improve the City's efficiency in identifying and removing illicit discharges.

issued to the City.
7.5.2. Non -Structural BMPs
Kannapolis Unified Development Ordinance (UDO Articles 3, 4, 9 and Appendices B, C, D):
• The Development Ordinance requires open space set -asides in certain zoning districts,
mainly residential.
• Currently maintains zoning and development overlay districts to safeguard sensitive
areas including watersheds and wetlands. Site design and development criteria within
these districts are enhanced.
• Buffer and landscape requirements are mandated for all new development.
• Greenway planning is set forth in the Cabarrus County Livable Communities Blueprint
and all applicable sub -division developments are required to provide adequate
connections to these greenways in the form of open space set -asides.
16

NPDES PHASE II — Comprehensive Stormwater Management Program Report
City of Kannapolis, North Carolina
• A 30 foot undisturbed buffer plus no less than an additional 20 foot structural setback
is currently required for perennial streams.
7.5.3. Structural BMPs
The UDO currently prescribes development that exceeds 20,000 square feet of impervious
coverage to control and treat the stormwater runoff volume leaving the project site generated by
a one (1) inch rain event. Runoff volume drawdown time shall be a minimum of 48 hours, but
not more than 120 hours. Volumes to be detained must comply with the methods listed in the
NCDERN Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual. All structural stormwater treatment
systems used to meet the requirements of the program shall be designed to have a minimum of
85% average annual removal for Total Suspended Solids (TSS). Furthermore, detention facilities
shall be designed to maintain the predeveloped runoff rate from the 1-year and 10-year, 24 hour
design storm events.
7.5.4. Regulatory Mechanism
The purpose of the City's Article 9 Environmental Control Regulations ordinance is to protect,
maintain and enhance the public health, safety, environmental and general welfare by
establishing minimum requirements and procedures to control the adverse effects of increased
post -development stormwater runoff and nonpoint and point source pollution associated with
new development and significant redevelopment as well as illicit discharges into municipal
stormwater systems. This ordinance became effective on July 31, 2008 and has been reviewed
by NCDENR.
• 7.5.5.Operation and Maintenance
Section 9.4.2 of the Environmental Control Regulations requires that an Operation and
Maintenance Agreement be obtained that requires the owner or owners or successors in interest
to maintain, repair and, if necessary, reconstruct the structural BMP, and shall state the terms,
conditions, and schedule of maintenance for the structural BMP.
The current reporting, notification and enforcement mechanism may be updated to more
effectively provide for corrective action procedures against BMP owners in violation of set
standards in the second permit term. Designated City staff members will be responsible for
obtaining annual maintenance inspection reports from qualified professionals, and will report the
number of inspections, notifications and corrective actions completed in the annual report.
The program also coordinates with the Cabarrus Health Alliance and the Rowan County Health
Department to assess measures to control sources of fecal coliform.
7.5.6. Decision Process
In the first permit term City staff and Council -appointed members were involved in the Cabarrus
Regional Technical and Stakeholder committees consisting of other municipalities, agencies, and
interested parties who have worked on Phase II issues. This quorum of opinion helped to direct
the City's effort toward formulating its approach to this measure. With the UDO in place, the City
reviewed the recommendations of the committees within the current framework of staffing and
resources. The priority for the City was to meet the minimum program requirements by March
10, 2005, and then as the program progressed, assess the viability of moving toward the more
• comprehensive regional approach over the life of the program. The City will continue moving

toward utilizing a more regional approach for meeting this requirement in the second permit
term.
Cooperative strategies between the City and both the Cabarrus Health Alliance and the Rowan
County Health Department have been developed to effectively handle the issue of controlling
fecal coliform bacteria.
7.5.7. Evaluation
The Assistant City Manager, Public Works Director, Stormwater Manager, Engineering Technician,
Public Information Officer and other interested parties meet to review all measurable goals to
determine if they are being effectively met and if the BMPs are still the best choice to attain the

The street sweeper is used on an as needed basis to clean all City -maintained parking lots. Salt
storage areas are covered under a permanent structure.
7.6.6. Waste Disposal
All waste collected from the storm sewer system is deposited in dumpsters, collected and hauled
by a contracted waste disposal service to the CMS Landfill.
7.6.7. Flood Management Projects
• The City currently institutes development standards to prohibit building in flood -prone areas. The
City's program coordinates with the Federal Emergency Management Association on flood control
measures.
•
7.6.8. Existing Ordinances
Existing ordinances and programs are subject to review by staff and City Council.
7.6.9. Decision Process
A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) was developed for the Public Works Operation
Center by recognizing existing policies and practices that impact water quality and systematically
addressing each individually. The deficiencies in these policies were noted and incorporated into
the BMP's. Important factors considered were the requirement of employee training, Standard
Operating Procedures and documenting current functions of municipal operations that have
impact on water quality.
7.6.10. Evaluation
The Assistant City Manager, Public Works Director, Stormwater Manager, Engineering Technician,
Public Information Officer and other interested parties meet to review all measurable goals to
determine if they are being effectively met and if the BMPs are still the best choice to attain the
overall objective. This process will continue in the second permit cycle.

CITY OF KANNAPOLIS
ORDINANCE
BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council for the City of Kannapolis, North
Carolina that the Code of Ordinances is hereby amended to provide as follows
ARTICLE I. GENERAL
See.11-1. Title.
This Ordinance shall be and is collectively referred to and cued as "The Storm Water
Utility, Control and Management Ordinance of Kannapolis, North Carolina."
Sec. I-2. Purposes and findings.
The purpose of this Ordinance is to protect and promote the public health, safety, and
welfare by preventing the introduction of potentially harmful materials into the City
storm sewer system; to protect property from potential storm water damage; to maintain
and enhance water quality, and to meet the requirements of the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System for Storm Water Discharges
The City Council appointed a group of citizens and representatives of the major
landholders and generators of storm water runoff known as the "Storm Water
Stakeholder's Advisory Committee" to evaluate the city's current storm water program
and to make recommendations to the City Council about the future level of service the
City should provide in regard to storm water. Based on the recommendations of the
sakeholder's advisory committee and information provided by a consultant chosen by
the City, the City Council of the City of Kaanapolis makes the following findings
(1) Storm water poses a serious threat to the public health, safety, and welfare. This
threat cannot be eliminated entirely. Factors affecting this threat which are beyond the
City's control include- frequency and intensity of precipitation, the topography in and
around the City; the types of soils and -other geologic structures found in and around the
City, body of law established under state and federal authority concerning water rights
generally and including but not limited to navigable and non -navigable waters, surface
waters, and underground waters; unauthorized interference with the City's storm water
drainage system; and the amount of impervious surfaces associated with a reasonable
level of development.
(2) The management of storm water can reduce this threat through.
a Constructing, operating, and maintaining needed facilities, and
b Regulating and controlling the use and development of land to reduce the
adverse effects of storm water.
(3) In order to provide an effective and long-term approach to storm water management,
an adequate funding source must be identified Equitable funding is provided by a system
of charges that is related to the volume and quality of storm water runoff from developed
40 land.

(4) Based on various studies conducted either by the City of Kannapolis, or on its
behalf, it is estimated that the City of Kannapolis has a large backlog of storm water
services, maintenance, and capital improvements required to meet basic flood control,
stream stabilization and water quality objectives and the level of service recommended by
the "Storm Water Stakeholders Advisory Committee "
Sec. I-3. Jurisdiction.

See. 11-2. Creation of storm water management accounting.
All storm water service charges and interest generated by such charges, also referred to as
the storm water utility funds, shall be accounted for separately from all other revenues
and funds and shall be used by the City of Kannapohs solely for the operational costs,
maintenance costs, management costs, indirect costs, regulatory compliance costs, project
planning and master planning costs, capital improvement costs for storm water quantity
and quality projects, debt principal and debt service, and establishment of a reserve fund
for storm water services The City may use funds that are not storm water utility funds to
provide storm water services
Sec. I1-3. Storm water management service charges.
(a) All developed land in the City, whether public or private, shall be subject to a storm
water service charge Exemptions shall not be allowed based on age, tax exemption, or
other status of an individual or organization Storm water service charges may be subject
• to a credit system as further provided herein
(b) Storm water service charges on developed land shall be based on a schedule of rates,
charges. tiers, and late fees fixed and established from time to time by the City Council,
adopted in the annual budget ordinance and maintained on file M the offices of the City
Clerk Storm water service charges will be determined and modified from time to time by
the City Council, so that the total revenues generated by said charges will be used to pay
the pnncipal and the interest on the debt incurred for storm water purposes, and such
expenses as are reasonably necessary for providing storm water services within the City
of Kannapolis
(c) The monthly stormwater service charges shall be based on the amount of impervious
surface o developed property in the City, referred to herein as an "Equivalent Runoff
Unit" or ERU Service charges on developed land shall be computed as follows
(1) Service charges on single-family developed land shall be based on the median
amount of impervious surface on a smgle-family residential lot in the city There
shall be three tiers for single-family developed properties, based on the amounts
of impervious surfaces on single-family properties, as follows
(i) A small single family unit size shall be classified as a Tier I parcel
and assigned an ERU value of 0 75,
(ii) A medium single family unit size shall be classified as a Tier lI
parcel and assigned an ERU value of 1 0,
(iu) A large single family unit size shall be classified as a Tier III parcel
and assigned an ERU value of 125
•
4

The magnitude of each tier of single-family developed residential land shall be
defined by resolution
(2) For all other developed properties, the monthly storm water service charge
on developed land is calculated by dividing the total impervious surface area of the
property by one ERU, rounded up to the nearest ERU, multiplied by the monthly ERU
rate as established from time to time by the City Council

contains charges for water and/or sanitary sewer and or solid waste management service
eor any combination of City -provided utility seiNices, including only storm water
(b) Storm water service charges for a property that receives sanitary sewer and: or water
service will be sent to the customer ieceiving such service However, where multiple
water and sewer accounts exist for a single parcel, the bill for storm water service charges
may for good cause shown at the discretion of the City be sent to the property owner The
City will develop additional policies concerning billing
