PART I

A. STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

The Permittee shall continue development, implementation, and, where appropriate, refinement of the Storm Water Management Program including pollution prevention measures, management or removal techniques, use of legal authority, and other appropriate means to control the quality and quantity of storm water discharged from the municipal separate storm sewer system. The Storm Water Management Program shall include controls necessary to effectively prohibit the unauthorized discharge of non-storm water into the municipal separate storm sewer system and reduce the discharge of pollutants from the municipal separate storm sewer system to the maximum extent practicable. The Permittee shall implement, to the maximum extent practicable, the provisions of the Storm Water Management Program required under this Part as a condition of the permit. All applicable components of the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Phase I VPDES Permit Application submitted in accordance with 40 CFR 122.26, and all approved modifications are hereby incorporated by reference into the Storm Water Management Program. The Storm Water Management Program shall cover the term of the permit and the Permittee shall update it as necessary, or as required by the Department of Environmental Quality, to ensure compliance with the statutory requirements of the Clean Water Act §402(p)(3)(B). Progress towards the goals and meeting specific program components shall be documented in the Annual Report required by this permit.

1. Contents of the Program

The Storm Water Management Program shall contain the following four elements:

a. A program to utilize structural and source control measures to reduce pollutants that are discharged through the municipal separate storm sewer system in storm water runoff from commercial and residential areas, including a schedule for implementing the controls.

As part of the program outlined by the City in the Storm Water Management Master Plan:

(1) The Permittee shall continue with the existing maintenance program for structural controls owned and operated by the Permittee. The Permittee is responsible for obtaining any required State or federal permits necessary to complete maintenance activities, including permits for land disturbance, disturbance of wetlands, dredging, etc.

(2) The Permittee shall adhere to and, where applicable, enforce all those components of The Comprehensive Plan, the Storm Water Management Master Plan, and all storm water related ordinances pertaining to development and redevelopment in the City of Newport News.

(3) The Permittee shall maintain the existing programs designed to reduce impacts on receiving waters from the operation and maintenance of public streets, roads and highways.

(4) The Permittee shall maintain the existing programs to assure that flood management projects assess the impacts on the water quality of receiving water bodies.

(5) The Permittee shall maintain its program to reduce the pollutants in discharges to the municipal separate storm sewer system associated with the application of pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers. The Permittee shall maintain the public relations plan designed to educate the general public and targeted groups about storm water pollution prevention, which includes the application of herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizer. b. A program and schedule to detect and remove, or to notify a discharger to apply for a separate VPDES permit for, unauthorized non-storm water discharges and/or improper disposal into the municipal separate storm sewer system.

As part of the program outlined by the City in the Storm Water Management Master Plan:

(1) The Permittee shall implement and enforce all provisions of the City's Storm Sewer System Discharge Ordinance which prohibits unauthorized non-storm water discharges to the storm sewer system.

(2) The Permittee shall continue the implementation of the current field screening procedures for identifying unauthorized non-storm water discharges and improper disposal into the storm sewer system. Priority shall be placed on segments of the storm sewer system which receive drainage from industrial and commercial sources.

(3) Where necessary, the Permittee shall conduct on-site investigation of potential sources of unauthorized non-storm water discharges. The Permittee shall act as expeditiously as possible to require a discharger to eliminate unauthorized non-storm water discharges except discharges identified in Part I.B.4 of this permit, or, if appropriate, to notify the discharger to apply to the Department of Environmental Quality for a Virginia Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (VPDES) permit for the discharge. If a VPDES permit is needed, but not obtained by the discharger, the Permittee shall take actions to implement the applicable provisions of the City’s Stormwater Ordinance. The Permittee shall require immediate cessation of improper disposal practices upon identification of responsible parties.

(4) To the maximum extent practicable, the Permittee shall contain spills and prevent spills from reaching, and subsequently discharging from, the municipal separate storm sewer system. The Permittee shall continue to respond to hazardous material spills under the latest "Hazardous Materials Emergency Response Plan" prepared by the City.

(5) The Permittee shall continue implementation of the program to promote, publicize, and facilitate public reporting of the presence of unauthorized non- storm water discharges or water quality impacts associated with discharges from the municipal separate storm sewer system.

(6) The Permittee shall continue implementation of the educational/public information activities relative to proper management and disposal of used oil and toxic materials, including household hazardous wastes.

(7) Where necessary, the Permittee shall develop and implement controls to limit infiltration of seepage from the municipal sanitary sewer to the municipal separate storm sewer. The Permittee shall continue implementation and enforcement of the applicable provisions of the City Code addressing the restriction of interconnection of the sanitary sewer and storm sewer system. c. A program to monitor and control pollutants in storm water discharges from municipal landfills, hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities, industrial facilities subject to Section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act, and facilities determined by the Permittee to be contributing substantial pollutant loadings.

As part of the program outlined by the City in the Storm Water Management Master Plan:

(1) The Permittee shall inspect any new or previously unidentified facilities (as described above), and may establish and implement control measures as necessary/appropriate for storm water discharges from these facilities.

(2) The Permittee may monitor, or require the facility to monitor, storm water discharges associated with industrial activity to the municipal separate storm sewer system from facilities described in Part I.A.l.c above. This monitoring program shall be designed by the City of Newport News.

d. A program to continue implementation and maintenance of structural and nonstructural best management practices to reduce pollutants in storm water runoff from construction sites.

As part of the program outlined by the City in the Storm Water Management Master Plan:

(1) The Permittee shall continue to operate in accordance with, and continue enforcement of the Soil removal and Other Land Disturbing Activities Ordinance, the Subdivision Ordinance, the Site Regulations Ordinance, the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area Ordinance, the Water Supply Reservoir Protection Ordinance, the Storm Water Control Regulations Ordinance, the Flood Protection Plan and the Design Criteria Manual (2nd Edition, August 1997). The Permittee shall continue to use the Comprehensive Plan entitled "Framework for the Future" as a general guide and shall tailor/modify the plan in the future as the City reviews future development plans. Within 30 days of approval of a site plan, the Permittee shall notify the Department of Environmental Quality of the owner and site location of all land disturbing activities that are one (1) acre or greater. The Department of Environmental Quality will determine if the land disturbing activity has been covered under a VSMP General Permit and will notify the owner and the Permittee if such a permit is required. In addition, the Permittee's Erosion and Sedimentation (E&S) Program shall be fully approved by the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). If the Permittee does not have a fully approved program, all efforts to achieve approval shall be documented in the annual report.

(2) The Permittee shall continue implementation of the education and training program for construction site operators.

2. Program Modifications

3. The Permittee shall ensure that all pollutants discharged from the municipal separate storm sewer system shall be reduced to the maximum extent practicable through the continued development and implementation of a comprehensive Storm Water Management Program as specified in Part I.A of this permit.

4. The Permittee shall effectively prohibit non-storm water discharges into the municipal separate storm sewer system. The Permittee may allow discharges of non- storm water or storm water associated with industrial activity as defined at 40 CFR 122.26 through the municipal separate storm sewer system if such discharges are:

a. Authorized by a separate VPDES permit;

b. Not identified by the Permittee or the Department of Environmental Quality to be significant sources of pollutants to State waters and may include the following: water line flushing, landscape irrigation, diverted stream flows, rising ground waters, uncontaminated ground water infiltration (as defined at 40 CFR 35.2005(20)) to separate storm sewers, uncontaminated pumped ground water, discharges from potable water sources, foundation drains, air conditioning condensation, irrigation water, springs, water from crawl space pumps, footing drains, lawn watering, individual residential car washing, flows from riparian habitats and wetlands, dechlorinated swimming pool discharges, street wash water, and discharges or flows from fire fighting; or

As necessary, the Permittee may incorporate appropriate control measures in the Storm Water Management Program required by Part I.A of this permit to ensure the discharges identified in a and b above are not significant sources of pollutants to State waters.

5. The Permittee shall operate pursuant to the established legal authority described in the 40 CFR 122.26 (d)(2)(i), or shall obtain the legal authority necessary to control discharges to and from those portions of the municipal separate storm sewer system over which it has jurisdiction. This legal authority may be a combination of statute, ordinance, permit, contract or an order to carry out all parts of the Storm Water Management Program identified in Part I.A of this permit.

6. To the maximum extent practicable, subject to annual appropriations, the Permittee shall provide adequate finances, staff, equipment, and support capabilities to implement all parts of the Storm Water Management Program required by Part I.A of this permit. Where programs operated by entities other than the Permittee are included in the Permittee's Storm Water Management Program, the Permittee shall, to the maximum extent practicable, ensure that such programs remain operational for the term of the permit. However, the Permittee shall not be responsible for operating or financing the program in the future if the current operators cease the activity.

7. During the term of the permit, the Permittee shall continue to identify any municipal separate storm sewer system outfalls not previously identified.

C. STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM EFFECTIVENESS INDICATORS

1. The Permittee shall conduct a storm water tracking program as set forth in Part I.C of this permit for the municipal separate storm sewer system to: (1) provide information necessary to assess the effectiveness and adequacy of control measures implemented under the Storm Water Management Program; (2) estimate seasonal cumulative pollutant loadings from the municipal separate storm sewer system; (3) identify and prioritize portions of the municipal separate storm sewer system requiring additional controls; and (4) identify water quality improvements or degradation. DEQ and the Permittee may assess improvement in the quality of storm water from the municipal separate storm sewer system based on the information required by this Part, plus any additional information generated by the Permittee.

2. The Permittee shall develop and implement the tracking program described in Part I.C.1. for a series of indicators that are designed as measures of Storm Water Management Program Effectiveness and that are tailored to the regional goals. The indicators shall be aligned within four indicator groups that represent traditional monitoring practices. Indicator tools within each group shall be used to measure different components of the stormwater program. The indicators to be tracked shall be categorized as follows:

Indicator Group Indicator Physical and Hydrological Greenlands Program Programmatic BMP Implementation, Erosion and Sediment Control, Flooding and Drainage Responses, Investigative Monitoring, Operations and Maintenance, Construction Permits and Site Subdivision Plans Approved, Socioeconomic Public Information and Outreach Programs

The eight (8) indicators within these broad categories shall be tracked on a regular basis and reported to DEQ in the Permit Annual Report submitted to the Department each year. The indicators are defined in the following paragraphs. a. Greenlands Program

Greenlands are lands that are permanently protected from development or lands that are restored to a more natural state during redevelopment and provide a water quality benefit by reducing watershed imperviousness. Such lands may include parklands, refuges, wetlands, and lands protected by conservation easement. The number of acres of greenlands will be tracked to assess progress towards reducing the potential watershed imperviousness and nonpoint source pollution loads at build out. b. Best Management Practice (BMP) Implementation

Storm water BMPs help to minimize flooding and water quality impacts associated with development. Experience has shown that over time, lack of maintenance has caused BMPs to lose their effectiveness. In addition, older developed areas lack BMPs or BMPs that have been installed lack water quality protection measures in their design. To measure the success of BMPs in flood and water quality protection, the number and types of BMPs installed or retrofitted for water quality, the number of developed acres served by BMPs by land use, and inspection and maintenance activities will be reported. This in turn will allow the estimation of pollutant removal by BMPs and assist in evaluating whether BMPs are properly functioning. c. Erosion and Sediment Control

Every local government in the Commonwealth of Virginia is required to administer an Erosion and Sediment Control Program. The Erosion and Sediment Control Law requires that land disturbing activities exceeding 10,000 square feet submit an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan and meet minimum standards. Under the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act, the threshold is decreased to 2,500 square feet in a Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area. The minimum standards specify practices that reduce the amount of sediment leaving a construction site and minimize downstream flooding and stream bank erosion. The effectiveness of local erosion and sediment control programs is limited by the level of enforcement and compliance. To monitor the extent of land disturbing activities, the number of approved erosion and sediment control plans and disturbed acreage will be tracked. To evaluate enforcement and the level of compliance with the local erosion and sediment control regulations, the number of inspections and enforcement actions will be stored in the database. d. Flooding and Drainage Responses

Calls and complaints received from citizens can be an indicator of the performance of a storm water program. Responsiveness of a storm water program, in the form of inspections and resulting maintenance activities can also be an indicator of effective administration of the storm water program. The number of citizen calls and responses will be tracked. Another important function of a local storm water program is to correct flooding and water quality problems. These projects may be included in the local Capital Improvement Projects program. These projects may involve retrofitting areas, installing BMPs, or restoration activities. To help determine whether a storm water program is actively performing this important function, the number and cost of flooding and drainage projects will be tracked. e. Investigative Monitoring

Non-storm water discharges, such as hazardous material spills, wastewater cross- connections, and other illicit discharges into the storm water system can represent a significant source of pollution. Implementing an effective illicit discharge/connection management program to control these sources can result in considerable improvements to water quality. In order to assess whether an illicit discharge/connection program is being effectively implemented, investigative and corrective actions will be tracked. These actions include screening inspections and measures taken to locate and eliminate illicit discharges/connections. f. Operations and Maintenance

Operation and maintenance activities are crucial to a storm water conveyance system's ability to reduce flooding and minimize the amount of pollutants that are discharged into the region's waterways. Operation and maintenance activities include street sweeping and cleaning/repairing catch basins and drainage facilities. By monitoring these activities, the proper functioning of the storm water system can be assessed, and the amount of sediment that was prevented from being discharged by the storm water system can be estimated. g. Construction Permits and Site Subdivision Plans Approved

Development causes the amount of runoff and pollution in a watershed to increase. To monitor development levels and activity, the number of approved site and subdivision plans, and their associated developed and redeveloped acres will be tracked. h. Public Information and Outreach Programs

Informing individuals, households and businesses about storm water issues and measures that can be taken to reduce pollution is important for gaining public support of a storm water program and protecting water quality. Public education and outreach activities that will be tracked to determine whether a storm water program is adequately carrying out this function include: numbers and type of different publications and number distributed for each, public outreach activities, media campaigns, riparian restoration activities by citizens, stream cleanup activities, and web site hits. i. Water Quality Nutrient Loadings

Pollutant loading estimates were developed by staff from the Hampton Roads District Planning Commission (HRPDC) using the Event Mean Concentrations (EMCs), data on percent impervious, and estimates of land use change (acreage) provided by the City. Pollutant loadings were calculated using the PLOAD model developed by CH2MHill and were based on an estimate of land use change, the acreage served by BMPs (including newly installed or retrofitted BMPs), and the effectiveness of those BMPs. However, due to various shortcomings of the PLOAD model and its inherent inability to effectively detect increases or decreases in resulting pollutant levels, the permitted local governments of Hampton Roads proposed modifying their MS4 permits to replace chemical monitoring with a Stormwater Management Effectiveness Indicator Tracking Program for the subsequent permit period. The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ) accepted this proposal and modified the Hampton Roads MS4 Permits accordingly when they were reissued in 2001. The permits, including the Stormwater Management Effectiveness Indicator Tracking Program, were administratively continued by the Department of Conservation and Recreation in 2006.

The City’s Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism continues to monitor and issue permits for licensed applicators regarding the control of pesticide and herbicide applications within the City.

The City’s Department of Public Works oversees a Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Program. In an effort to improve service and efficiency, a permanent collection site, referred to as the Solid Waste Convenience Center, is open two (2) days per week for collection. A total of two thousand, nine hundred and thirty (2,930) residents were served, and 38.78 tons of chemicals and 12.74 tons of miscellaneous electronic waste were collected. A total of 2.75 tons of lead acid batteries were collected in FY2014.

3- 3 Two other electronics collection events were held during this period: one in conjunction with the Newport News Sherriff’s Department, and the second in partnership with askHRgreen.org for America Recycles Day. The events combined attracted one thousand and ninety-six (1,096) residents and removed 19.7 tons of electronics. A test event was held for residents to collect rigid plastics from residents. During this event, a total of 2.1 tons of rigid plastic waste were collected. In addition, two community collection days for electronics were held, and the City participated in two “regional” (multi-jurisdictional) electronic waste collection days during the reporting period. During all events held, a total of 22.3 tons of electronic wastes were collected from approximately one thousand and twenty-one (1,021) Newport News residents and businesses. During eight (8) municipal office recycling events, the City collected approximately 68.8 tons of electronic waste from eight (8) City Departments. This is a significant increase over last year.

The City’s Departments of Public Works, Public Utilities (Waterworks) and Engineering jointly developed messaging for local schools, businesses and civic organizations. Presentations promoted the awareness of the negative effects of pet waste and littering on watersheds, as well as the importance of responsible water use and recycling. The Departments of Public Works and Public Utilities (Waterworks) staff jointly conducted outreach through six (6) rain barrel workshops, twenty-four (24) meetings and outreach presentations, four (4) Clean Business forums, nineteen (19) festival and booth events, and thirty-eight (38) classroom presentations.

In connection with the HHW Collection Program, the City continues to implement the Stormwater Service Charge Program. The total number of household chemical drop-offs during FY2014 was two thousand, four hundred and ninety-two (2,492).

The Hampton Roads Planning District Commission provided the City with one thousand and forty-three (1,043) dog waste bag dispensers and one thousand and fifty (1,050) informational rack cards for distribution to citizens.

Citizens can report stormwater complaints, including illegal dumping or littering, using an online form on the City’s Department of Engineering website. In addition, the 311 Contact Center facilitates the reporting of issues by the public.

The City continues to enforce the following ordinances: Storm Sewer Discharge, Site Plan Regulations and Standards, and Subdivision Regulations. It also performs field screening and monitoring in order to detect and notify dischargers when a separate VPDES permit is required for discharge into the City’s municipal separate storm sewer system.

The City continues to enforce the following ordinances to reduce stormwater runoff from construction sites: Soil Removal and Other Land Disturbing Activities, Stormwater Control Regulations, Chesapeake Bay Preservation, Site Plan Regulations and Standards, and Subdivision Regulations.

The City notified the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) on a monthly basis of all Land Disturbance Permits issued by the City with disturbed areas greater than one acre. During the reporting period, twenty-four (24) sites were in this category. See Appendix 1.1 for a list of these sites.

During the reporting period, twenty-two (22) dry weather screening investigations were performed (see Appendix 1.2). Of the 22 field sampling points screened, fourteen (14) exhibited indications of flow. In most instances, minimal or no pollutants (phenols, chlorine, detergents, ammonia, and total copper) were detected, with the exception of two screenings with significantly high readings of test parameters.

The City continues to routinely check construction sites and issue Notices to Comply when necessary. City inspectors made one thousand, three hundred and fifty-two (1,352) inspections during the reporting period.

Public Education:

Due to budgetary constraints, the City no longer publishes and distributes its yearly environmental calendar. Instead, City staff has ramped up efforts with respect to public education and community outreach activities. During the reporting period, staff from the City’s Departments of Engineering and Public Utilities (Waterworks) promoted or effectuated educational programs and activities that addressed stormwater run-off concerns to such entities as:

 Newport News Children’s Festival of Friends  BC Charles Elementary School “I Care” Event  Peninsula Housing and Builders Association Home and Garden event  James River Elementary environmental interview with students

Additionally, the Department of Engineering hosted several public meetings to educate contractors and citizens on the changes to Virginia Stormwater Management Program (VSMP) regulations.

Two other electronics collection events were held during this period: one in conjunction with the Newport News Sherriff’s Department in August, and the second in partnership with askHRgreen.org for America Recycles Day in November. The events combined attracted one thousand and ninety-six (1,096) residents and removed 19.7 tons of electronics. A test event was held for residents to collect rigid plastics from residents. During this event, a total of 2.1 tons of rigid plastic waste were collected. In addition, two community collection days for electronics were held, and the City participated in two “regional” (multi- jurisdictional) electronic waste collection days during the reporting period. During all events held, a total of 22.3 tons of electronic wastes were collected from approximately one thousand and twenty one (1,021) Newport News residents and businesses.

The City’s Departments of Public Works, Public Utilities (Waterworks) and Engineering jointly developed messaging for local schools, businesses and civic organizations. Presentations promoted the awareness of the negative effects of pet waste and littering on watersheds, as well as the importance of responsible water use and recycling. The Departments of Public Works and Public Utilities (Waterworks) jointly conducted outreach through six (6) rain barrel workshops, twenty-four (24) meetings and outreach presentations, four (4) Clean Business forums, nineteen (19) festival and booth events, and thirty-eight (38) classroom presentations.

CITY OF NEWPORT NEWS

Introduction

During the first municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) Virginia Pollution Discharge Elimination System (VPDES) permit term, the six Hampton Roads local governments, including the City of Newport News, were required to monitor chemical constituents from five selected outfalls. Based on the collected monitoring data, the local governments were required to calculate event mean concentrations (EMCs) of pollutants discharged from their stormwater outfalls. When compared to EMCs from other urban areas studied during the Nationwide Urban Runoff Program (NURP), these calculations indicate that the level of pollutants carried by stormwater in Hampton Roads is at least typical of other urban areas and in many cases, better.

While the chemical monitoring program was useful in determining that the stormwater runoff in Hampton Roads is comparable to other urban areas, it was not useful in communicating the effectiveness of local stormwater management programs. The high variability of the data, due to natural factors such as rainfall, makes it very difficult to detect any actual increases or decreases in pollutant levels carried by stormwater runoff. In addition, the chemical monitoring program cannot account for actions taken by local stormwater programs to reduce flooding and drainage problems. Due to these shortcomings, the permitted local governments of Hampton Roads proposed modifying their MS4 VPDES permits to replace the chemical monitoring requirement with a Stormwater Management Program Effectiveness Indicator Tracking Program for the second permit term. The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality accepted the proposed Tracking Program in lieu of chemical monitoring and modified the MS4 VPDES permits accordingly when they were reissued in April 2001. These permits, including the Tracking Program, were administratively continued by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation in 2006.

In the federal Phase II Stormwater Regulations, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recognizes the shortcomings of chemical monitoring. Rather than conduct a chemical monitoring program, Phase II communities are required to track the implementation of stormwater management measures. These management measures include public education and outreach, public involvement, illicit discharge detection and elimination, construction site runoff, post-construction runoff, and pollution prevention/good housekeeping activities. The Phase II Regulations recognize that this kind of tracking system provides a better measure of program effectiveness than chemical monitoring of stormwater outfalls.

The Stormwater Management Program Effectiveness Indicator Tracking Program is similar to the tracking system required by the Phase II Stormwater Regulations. The Stormwater Management Program Effectiveness Indicator Tracking Program stores data on several indicators of stormwater management program effectiveness in a Microsoft Access

1 database. The indicators that are recorded in the database can be grouped into one of four categories as illustrated in the table below.

Indicator Group Indicator Water Quality Pollutant Loadings Physical and Hydrological Greenlands Programs Programmatic Investigative Monitoring BMP Implementation Flooding and Drainage Control Flooding and Drainage Projects Erosion and Sediment Control Permitting and Compliance Operations and Maintenance Socioeconomic Public Information Programs

This report summarizes the information contained in the Stormwater Management Program Effectiveness Indicator Tracking Program database for fiscal year 2014 (7/01/2013 – 6/30/2014) and consists of two parts. Part One describes each indicator and contains short data summaries. Part Two contains graphic summaries of each indicator.

PART I

3 Water Quality Nutrient Loadings

Water Quality Nutrient Loadings for the City of Newport News were calculated for fiscal year 2006. The calculations were performed by the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission staff using PLOAD, a geographic information system (GIS) tool developed by CH2MHILL, which is based on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Simple Method for the calculation of nonpoint source pollutant loads. The PLOAD tool uses GIS coverages of land use, sub-watershed boundaries, and BMP locations as well as look-up tables for event mean concentrations (EMCs), imperviousness, and BMP pollutant removal efficiencies. The land use data used in the PLOAD model is parcel-based and was acquired from the City of Newport News, Department of Planning. The BMP data and associated service areas were obtained from the City of Newport News, Department of Engineering. A complete pollutant loading analysis for the City of Newport News is presented in a separate section of the fiscal year 2006 annual report. The analysis contains background information, data descriptions, methodology, and the pollutant loading calculations.

Pollutant loadings were not updated for fiscal year 2014 because land use changes within the City have been minimal. The total acres of land disturbed and acres treated by new BMPs from 2007 to 2014 accounts for less than 3% of the total land area. Changes in pollutant loadings for the City of Newport News between fiscal year 2006 and 2014 are estimated to be negligible.

Greenlands

Greenlands are lands that are permanently protected from development or lands that are restored to a more natural state during redevelopment. They provide a water quality benefit by maintaining pervious surfaces or reducing the imperviousness of the watershed. Such lands may include parklands, refuges, wetlands, and lands protected by conservation easement. The database is structured to maintain the number of acres of greenlands to assess progress towards reducing the potential watershed imperviousness and nonpoint source pollution loads.

The City of Newport News estimates that as of June 30, 2014, it has preserved over 9,500 acres of greenlands. This sum includes 3,676 acres of parklands, 3,551 acres of resource protection areas, 1,773 acres of wetlands, and 573 acres of other green areas. Part II contains a graphic illustration of the number of greenlands acreage by type.

BMP Implementation

Stormwater best management practices (BMPs) help to minimize flooding and water quality impacts associated with development. Experience has shown that over time, lack of maintenance has caused BMPs to lose their effectiveness. In addition, older developed areas lack BMPs or the design of the BMPs that have been installed does not include water quality protection measures. To measure the success of BMPs in flood and water quality protection, the database is structured to include information on:  The number and types of BMPs installed or retrofitted for water quality;  The number of developed acres served by BMPs by land use; and

4  Inspection and maintenance activities.

This information will eventually allow the estimation of pollutant removal by BMPs and the ascertainment of whether BMPs are properly functioning.

In fiscal year 2014, the City installed 7 new stormwater facilities to serve approximately 111 acres. Over the course of the year, the City also performed a total of 37 BMP inspections and 3 maintenance activities. Graphs in Part II illustrate the BMP Implementation trends over the past thirteen years.

Erosion and Sediment Control

Every local government in the Commonwealth of Virginia is required to administer an Erosion and Sediment Control Program. The Erosion and Sediment Control Law requires that land disturbing activities exceeding 10,000 square feet submit an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan and meet minimum standards. Under the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act, the threshold is decreased to 2,500 square feet in a Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area. The minimum standards specify practices that reduce the amount of sediment leaving a construction site and minimize downstream flooding and streambank erosion. The level of enforcement and compliance limits the effectiveness of local erosion and sediment control programs. To monitor the extent of land-disturbing activities, the database is designed to include information on the number of approved erosion and sediment control plans and disturbed acreage. The number of inspections and enforcement actions are also included to evaluate enforcement and the level of compliance with the local erosion and sediment control regulations.

In fiscal year 2014, the City of Newport News issued 154 erosion and sediment control permits for land-disturbing projects that affected a sum of 111 acres. Over the course of the year, the City performed 1,352 erosion and sediment control inspections and issued 246 enforcement actions. The number of acres disturbed in 2014 includes land disturbed due to clearing, and any paved and constructed areas. Please see the graphs in Part II to view the Erosion & Sediment Control Activity trends over the past fourteen years.

Flooding and Drainage Responses

Between FY 2002 and FY 2014, the City of Newport News has responded to an average of 1,419 citizen inquiries per year. In FY 2014, the city responded to 1,681 citizen requests for service. The table below identifies the number of responses for each fiscal year. Since tracking began, the City has responded to nearly 18,450 citizen inquiries.

Please see Part II to view a graph of the City’s flooding and drainage response trends over the past thirteen years.

Flooding and Drainage Projects

An important function of a local stormwater program is to correct flooding and water quality problems. These projects may be included in the local Capital Improvement Program (CIP). These projects may involve retrofitting areas, installing BMPs, or restoration activities. To help determine whether a stormwater program is actively performing this important function, the database is designed to include the number and cost of flooding and drainage projects.

In fiscal year 2014, the City of Newport News allocated $24,029,648 to the CIP for 35 stormwater improvement projects. In addition to the CIP projects, $273,961 was allocated for ten other stormwater projects.

Please see Part II to view graphs showing the trends in the number and cost of stormwater projects within the City of Newport News. A direct correlation between the amount of money spent and the number of stormwater projects is not apparent in this data due to the varied types and varied costs of the stormwater projects employed.

Investigative Monitoring

Non-stormwater discharges, such as hazardous material spills, wastewater cross connections and other illicit discharges can represent a significant source of pollution. Implementing an effective illicit discharge/connection management program to control these sources can result in considerable improvements to water quality. In order to assess whether an illicit discharge/connection program is being effectively implemented, the database is structured to allow the collection of information on investigative and corrective actions. These actions include screening inspections and measures taken to locate and eliminate illicit discharges/connections.

In fiscal year 2014, the City investigated, confirmed and corrected 24 spills (including gas, transmission/break fluid, and chemical spills) and 9 sewer discharges. The City also conducted 38 dry weather screening inspections last year.

Please see the graphs in Part II to view investigative monitoring trends within the City of Newport News. Over the years, the City has improved its ability to detect and respond to discharges and spills. As an example, the City now uses a better system for tracking wastewater discharges. This system, the Hampton Roads Sanitary Sewer Overflow Reporting System (SSORS), is the product of a regional cooperative effort in which the City of Newport News is a participant.

6 Operations and Maintenance

Operation and maintenance activities are crucial to a stormwater conveyance system’s ability to reduce flooding and minimize the amount of pollutants that are discharged into the region’s waterways. Operation and maintenance activities include street sweeping and cleaning and repairing both catch basins and drainage facilities. By monitoring these activities, the proper functioning of the stormwater system can be assessed, and the amount of sediment that was prevented from being discharged by the stormwater system can be estimated.

In fiscal year 2014, 261 miles of drainage facilities were cleaned and 10,928 catch basins were cleaned out. In addition, 13,332 miles of streets were swept which prevented 12,800 tons of material from entering the City’s streams.

The graphs presented in Part II illustrate the operation and maintenance activities performed by the City from fiscal year 2001 through fiscal year 2014.

Permitting and Compliance

Development increases the amount of runoff and pollution in a watershed. In an effort to monitor development activity, the number of approved site and subdivision plans, and their associated developed or redeveloped acres are maintained in the database.

In fiscal year 2014, the City issued 154 construction permits and approved 70 development plans. Approximately 111 acres of land were developed during the fiscal year. Please see Part II to view the City’s cumulative permitting and compliance trends from fiscal year 2001 through fiscal year 2014.

Environmental Knowledge

Informing individuals about stormwater issues and measures they can take to reduce pollution is important to gaining public support of a stormwater program. It also helps protect water quality. The database maintains information on public education and outreach activities to help assess whether a stormwater program is adequately carrying out this function. The parameters that are examined include: number of publications produced and distributed, public outreach activities, media campaigns, riparian restoration activities by citizens, stream cleanup activities, and web site hits.

In FY 14, the City’s Public Works Recycling Office and Environmental Services Division jointly developed presentations for local schools, businesses and civic organizations. Presentations promoted the awareness of the negative effects of pet waste and littering on watersheds, as well as the importance of responsible water use and recycling. During FY14, Newport News Public Works and Waterworks conducted 5 rain barrel workshops along with the Master Gardeners.

Regional activities related to stormwater education and outreach were also conducted through askHRgreen.org. In the fall of 2010, focus group and online research was conducted to form the foundation for the development of a marketing plan for

7 askHRgreen.org designed to change environmental attitudes and behaviors in Hampton Roads. The research was used to profile target audiences for campaigns, develop creative strategies, plan educational and marketing tactics, and guide media planning.

In June 2011, the askHRgreen.org website was launched. The campaign and website are now a public awareness program and central resource for environmental education and information in Hampton Roads. Topics covered include earth-friendly landscaping, ideas and tips for keeping local waterways clean, recycling information, and simple steps to make local living easy on the environment. The individual education programs previously known as HR FOG, HR WET, HR Clean, and HR Storm are now subcommittees that identify outreach priorities for stormwater pollution prevention; beautification, litter prevention and recycling; prevention of sanitary sewer overflows and backups caused by improper disposal of fats, oils and grease; and the value of tap water and the importance of being good stewards of our most precious resource.

With a focus on simple steps residents and businesses can take to find their “inner green” and become environmental stewards, askHRgreen.org is a go-to resource for everything green in Hampton Roads. The website features include easy-to-use green practices; locality-specific information; an interactive calendar highlighting regional events; and the “Let’s Talk Green” blog written by a team of local experts who work in the region’s municipal utility and environmental divisions. Social media is also a key source for public outreach. askHRgreen.org continues to use Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to promote the blog and upcoming events, as well as to hold contests that generate more followers.

In FY2014, askHRgreen.org focused on three priority areas for stormwater pollution prevention: pet waste disposal education; lawn care for healthy waterways; and no dumping in storm drains. In addition to information placed on the website, the stormwater subcommittee undertook the following actions to address these priority topics:

• Ran a two-week campaign from November 4-17, 2013 reminding Hampton Roads residents that “storm drains are not trash cans for fall leaves.” The campaign included radio ads, banner displays on pilotonline.com and dailypress.com, and Facebook ads. • The Pet Waste Station Grant Program, launched in December 2013, provides residents the opportunity to apply for a free pet waste station to install in their neighborhoods. In the first seven months of the program, 98 pet waste stations were installed in 13 localities across the region. • Ran another two-week campaign from March 24 through April 6, 2014 to promote smart spring lawn care, including soil testing, leaving grass clippings on the lawn, and replacing grassy areas with flower beds. The campaign included radio ads, banner displays on pilotonline.com and dailypress.com, and Facebook ads. • Ran radio and online ads from May 19 – May 25, 2014 to promote bagging and trashing pet waste. The Committee partnered with 19 local organizations to launch a Scoop the Poop Pledge in conjunction with the media campaign. By the end of FY14, 576 people had signed the pledge. • Recruited schools and volunteer groups to markover 300 storm drains with medallions that say “No Dumping: Leads to Waterway.” The program includes medallions,

8 adhesive, a lesson plan and PowerPoint presentation about stormwater and how individual actions affect our local waterways.

Additional details on the askHRgreen.org program activities for FY2014 are contained in the “askHRgreen.org Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2014” that is contained in the Appendix 2 of this Annual Report and is available online at askHRgreen.org.

The City of Newport News and the other Phase I communities within Hampton Roads continue to work hard to develop and implement a successful educational program promoting stormwater management and pollution prevention throughout the Hampton Roads region.

4 Annual Report Fiscal Year 2014 introduction

Finding the Inner green askHRgreen.org was developed to help Hampton Roads residents find their inner green with just the click of a mouse. For years, the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission (HRPDC) facilitated a variety of environmental education efforts to assist localities in notifying residents and meeting regulatory requirements. Developing consistent regional messaging has always afforded localities an economy of scale that they could not otherwise achieve. Couple that with various emerging issues beginning to overlap, like sanitary sewer overflows and stormwater pollution, and we knew the time was right for the development of an umbrella brand to tie all of the messages together. askHRgreen.org began with offering just the green basics. What we found was that people then craved more information. Once you show someone an easy, green alternative, they get hooked and want to add something else. Now we make the connections for people by illustrating not just what they can do, but why they should care and how their actions impact the environment. askHRgreen.org is powered by the 17 localities of Hampton Roads, HRSD, and HRPDC.

The Hampton Roads Planning District Commission, in cooperation with the regional Stormwater Workgroup, prepared this report.

Preparation of this report was included in the HRPDC Unified Planning Work Program for FY 2013-2014, approved by the Commission at its Executive Committee Meeting of April 18, 2013.

The sixteen member local governments through the HRPDC Regional Stormwater Management Program provided funding.

INTRODUCTION

Working through the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission, the region’s sixteen member cities and counties (Figure 1) cooperated on a variety of stormwater management activities during Fiscal Year 2013-2014. This cooperative effort has been underway as a formal adjunct to the Virginia Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permits (VPDES) for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) held by the Cities of Chesapeake, Hampton, Newport News, Norfolk, Portsmouth and Virginia Beach since Fiscal Year 1995-1996. The Cities of Suffolk, Poquoson, Williamsburg, and James City County, Isle of Wight County, and York County joined in 2002 to coordinate Phase II MS4 permit applications. Cooperative activities documented in this report represent a continuation of an ongoing effort, which has involved concerted activity since 1992.

REGIONAL STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM GOALS

The HRPDC and local stormwater staffs undertook a comprehensive effort in FY 1998-1999, called the Regional Loading Study. The project included developing a set of regional stormwater management goals to guide the regional program. The goals were presented to

- 1 - Hampton Roads Regional Cooperation in Stormwater Management FY 2014

and adopted by the HRPDC at its Executive Committee Meeting in September 1999. They were reaffirmed in the January 2003 approval of the “Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) Establishing the Hampton Roads Regional Stormwater Management Program” and the renewal of the MOA in 2008 and 2013. The adopted Regional Stormwater Management Program Goals, which guide the regional program, are:

• Manage stormwater quantity and quality to the maximum extent practicable (MEP).  Implement BMPs and retrofit flood control projects to provide water quality benefits.  Support site planning and plan review activities.  Manage pesticide, herbicide and fertilizer applications.

• Implement public information activities to increase citizen awareness and support for the program. • Meet the following needs of citizens:  Address flooding and drainage problems.  Maintain the stormwater infrastructure.  Protect waterways.  Provide the appropriate funding for the program. • Implement cost-effective and flexible program components. • Satisfy VPDES stormwater permit requirements.  Enhance erosion and sedimentation control.  Manage illicit discharges, spill response, and remediation.

THE REGIONAL PROGRAM

The Regional Stormwater Management Program initially focused on activities that supported the permit compliance efforts of the six communities with Phase I VPDES Stormwater System Permits, technical assistance to the region’s non-permitted communities and regional education and training to support all of the communities. The program has expanded to include the needs of the six communities with Phase II VPDES MS4 permits and the development of locally administered Stormwater Programs which were required starting July 1, 2014.

Phase I Localities The efforts of the Phase I localities this year have focused on tracking regulatory changes to the Construction General Permit and preparing for local program changes required by revisions of the Virginia Stormwater Management Regulations. Localities have continued to follow the Phase I MS4 permit renewal process in Virginia. The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has reissued the Arlington County permit and set a schedule to reissue all the Phase I

- 2 - Hampton Roads Regional Cooperation in Stormwater Management FY 2014

MS4 permits by December 31, 2014. HRPDC staff worked with the localities to review draft permits.

Phase II Localities In addition to participating in regional efforts related to the Chesapeake Bay TMDL and the revision of the Virginia Stormwater Management Regulations, the Phase II localities followed the development of the Chesapeake Bay TMDL Special Condition Guidance. The Phase II General Permit was reissued on July 1, 2013 and required localities to develop an Action Plan within 48 months to address their waste load allocations in the Chesapeake Bay TMDL. Hampton Roads’ Phase II localities were represented on DEQ’s technical advisory committee, and HRPDC submitted comments on several drafts on behalf of the localities. During 2013- 2014, the Phase II localities also focused on revising their program plans, developing a training plan for stormwater staff, and meeting new education and outreach requirements. HRPDC staff developed a regional training strategy for pollution prevention and will develop a regional training library in FY2015. AskHRgreen.org piloted regional media campaigns for pet waste reduction, proper lawn maintenance, and reduction of fats, oils, and grease. These campaigns will serve to meet Phase II permit requirements for education and outreach for the remainder of this permit cycle.

INFORMATION EXCHANGE

The cornerstone of the Regional Stormwater Management Committee’s activities continues to be the exchange of information. This is accomplished through regular monthly meetings to address topics of regional importance, as well as crosscutting issues that affect local stormwater, planning, public works and public utilities staff. In addition, various agencies and organizations utilize this regional forum to engage and inform local governments, as well as to gather feedback.

Monthly Meetings The sixteen communities participate in the HRPDC Regional Stormwater Program and their staffs meet twice a month. The Stormwater Workgroup meetings provide an opportunity for local stormwater managers to exchange information about successful program activities, utility structures and policies, and technical challenges. The HRPDC Joint Environmental Committee, now referred to as the Regional Environmental Committee, meetings include local stormwater and planning staff plus cooperating agencies such as Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), Virginia Department of Transportation, Hampton Roads Sanitation District, and the US Navy.

Increasingly, the region’s localities are affected by and involved in the state’s TMDL (Total Maximum Daily Load) Studies and Implementation Plan processes for the Chesapeake Bay and locally impaired water bodies. Issues associated with these programs are also addressed during the monthly meetings. In FY14, the Stormwater Workgroup discussed and provided input to DEQ on the PCB TMDL for the Lower James and Elizabeth River and the bacteria TMDL for the Back and Poquoson Rivers.

- 3 - Hampton Roads Regional Cooperation in Stormwater Management FY 2014

State and Federal Agency Program Briefings Representatives of state and federal agencies frequently brief the Committee on developing issues, regulatory guidance and technical programs. During the year, the Committee was briefed by representatives of the U.S. Army Research and Development Center on the risks to Naval Station Norfolk from sea level rise and climate change, by DEQ staff on the development of TMDLs for local waters, and by DEQ staff on the new Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement.

Watershed Roundtables The Watershed Roundtable approach is Virginia’s program to encourage collaboration and information sharing between the public and private sector on nonpoint source pollution management. HRPDC leads the Lower James River (Hampton Roads) Watershed Roundtable and participates in the York River Watershed Council, the Middle James River Roundtable, and the Albemarle-Chowan Roundtable. Members of the Stormwater Workgroup participate in the Hampton Roads Roundtables, along with representatives from other local government departments, regional and state agencies, Soil and Water Conservation Districts and private organizations.

PUBLIC EDUCATION

askHRgreen.org To support development and operation of the stormwater education program, the HR STORM committee consisting of local stormwater education/public information staff was established in 1997. Beginning in FY11, the HRPDC environmental education programs were combined into a single public awareness program and central resource for environmental education in Hampton Roads known as askHRgreen.org. In June 2011, the askHRgreen.org website launched. The website contains information on earth-friendly landscaping ideas and pointers for keeping local waterways clean, recycling tips, and simple steps to make local living easy on the environment. It also includes a blog written by a team of local experts who work in the region’s municipal utility and environmental divisions.

The stormwater subcommittee continues to meet on a monthly basis to discuss education priorities for stormwater. In FY14, the subcommittee focused on ensuring that the regional education campaign fulfills the outreach requirements on the current Phase II General Permit issued July 1, 2013. The subcommittee also started a program to distribute pet waste stations to interested community members throughout Hampton Roads. The activities conducted through the askHRgreen.org campaign for the year are summarized in the askHRgreen.org Annual Report.

TRAINING

Since 2004, the HRPDC staff has worked with the six Phase II communities to develop and conduct training programs for local government staff. This year HRPDC coordinated with DEQ

- 4 - Hampton Roads Regional Cooperation in Stormwater Management FY 2014

to host training linked to new local program requirements and certifications. HRPDC hosted several webinars on stormwater BMP design and maintenance and emerging policy approaches like green infrastructure. These webinars allow localities to save money by registering once as a group and local staff has an opportunity to discuss the webinar’s recommendations and their applicability to the region.

LEGISLATIVE & REGULATORY MONITORING

This element of the program involves monitoring state and federal legislative and regulatory activities that may impact local stormwater management programs. Based on this monitoring, the HRPDC staff develops briefing materials for use by the localities, including consideration by the governing bodies. As appropriate, the HRPDC staff in cooperation with the Committee develops consensus positions for consideration by the Commission and local governments. The level of effort devoted to this element has increased significantly over the past six years. During 2013-2014, the regional emphasis was on preparing to rollout local stormwater programs and the development of the draft Chesapeake Bay TMDL Action Plan Guidance.

Virginia Stormwater Regulations Revisions to the Stormwater Regulations were approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Board in May 2011 and were implemented by localities prior to July 1, 2014. In FY14, HRPDC and local government staff continued to serve on the State Stormwater Local Government Advisory Committee. The committee provided input to DEQ on implementation of Local Stormwater Programs including challenges related to the management of grandfathered permits and defining the permit process for “common plans of development”.

The region is also currently represented on the State Stormwater BMP Clearinghouse Committee which continues to discuss BMP listing criteria, Clearinghouse website content, and database design. Regional input has been focused on defining the proposed role of the Clearinghouse in approving non-proprietary BMP pollutant removal efficiencies.

HRPDC and local staff have also participated in the regulatory advisory panels for the

- 5 - Hampton Roads Regional Cooperation in Stormwater Management FY 2014

Construction General Permit and Nutrient Trading. In each case, the panel representative from the region provided updates to the Stormwater Technical Workgroup or Regional Environmental Committee, collected input, and made recommendations to the panel.

Chesapeake Bay TMDL and Virginia Phase II Implementation Plan The Environmental Protection Agency established a Total Maximum Daily Load for the Chesapeake Bay on December 29, 2010. In November 2010, Virginia submitted its Phase I Watershed Implementation Plan (WIP) that outlined the statewide strategies that would be implemented by each source sector. The Phase II WIP outlined the management actions that will be implemented by local governments. Virginia submitted its final Phase II WIP to EPA on March 30, 2012.

Virginia asked localities to submit input for the Phase II WIP including resource needs. As part of the regional input, the “Hampton Roads Regional Planning Framework, Scenario, and Strategies” report was submitted to the state. In FY14, several issues identified in the report were addressed by the Chesapeake Bay Program. HRPDC and local staff participated in workgroups and expert panels to support research on these alternate BMPs and incorporation of local land use data into the Bay model. During FY14, HRPDC staff participated in the advisory committee for the development of guidance for the Chesapeake Bay TMDL Action Plan provision being placed in MS4 permits to meet TMDL requirements. During the 2014 General Assembly, HRPDC staff worked to allocate funds from the Water Quality Improvement Fund (WQIF) for the development of statewide high resolution land use/land cover data. This data will be utilized by the Chesapeake Bay Program to improve the representation of land use in the Bay Watershed Model.

REGIONAL STUDIES

Water Quality Monitoring Study In FY14, the HRPDC and the Phase I localities partnered with the USGS and HRSD to kick-off a water quality monitoring study. The purpose of the study is to develop more accurate Coastal Plain nutrient and sediment loading rates and a basic understanding of how these loads vary by land use type. This information will be compared to the loading rates in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Model and used to improve the accuracy of the Model in the Coastal Plain. It is anticipated that the monitoring site locations will be selected and the stations installed during FY15. Samples will be collected and analyzed for at least five years.

Stormwater Program Matrix A comprehensive stormwater program matrix, including Phase I and Phase II communities, was developed in FY 2000 which addresses both utility and programmatic issues. HRPDC staff coordinates with local government stormwater program staff to update the information in the matrix annually.

Land and Water Quality Protection Study In FY13, HRPDC worked on the first and second phase of the Land & Water Quality Protection

- 6 - Hampton Roads Regional Cooperation in Stormwater Management FY 2014

study. During the first phase of the project, HRPDC staff analyzed the local consequences of the new water quality requirements for urban and transitional communities and identified available tools to enable localities to meet these requirements while avoiding negative impacts on natural resources. The second phase of the project focused on working with two pilot localities to identify the most appropriate tools and test their application. In FY14, HRPDC staff worked on the third and final phase of the project, which will result in a coastal plain BMP guidance, recommendations for changes to plans and ordinances in the pilot localities, and a modeling effort to evaluate the water quality impacts of various growth scenarios. The study will be completed in FY15.

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE

The HRPDC continues to serve as a clearinghouse for technical assistance to the localities, as well as a point of contact in arranging short-term assistance from one locality to another. The HRPDC Committee process also provides a forum, allowing state regulatory agency staff to meet with the region’s localities to discuss evolving stormwater management regulations. In addition, the HRPDC staff provides technical information and advice to all of the participating localities on a wide variety of issues upon request. In FY14, technical assistance to localities was focused on disseminating information related to the Chesapeake Bay TMDL, Virginia’s new stormwater regulations, and evaluating the real world challenges of interpreting and implementing the local stormwater programs.

MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT

The Regional Stormwater Management Program was established in 1996 as a formal program of the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission with support and participation from the sixteen member local governments. A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) was created that outlines the basic regulatory and programmatic premises for the cooperative program, incorporating the Regional Program Goals, described earlier in this report. The MOA establishes a division of program responsibilities among the HRPDC and the participating localities, addresses questions of legal liability for program implementation, and includes other general provisions. The MOA is reauthorized by the signatories every five years and was renewed in 2013.

PERMIT ADMINISTRATION AND REPORTING SYSTEM (PARS)

In an effort to streamline reporting and capture data more effectively for local governments, the twelve permitted localities have pooled resources to develop the Permit Administration and Reporting System, or PARS. The region contracted with URS Corporation to develop a web-based data tracking and reporting system. The system is being utilized by local governments to catalog development sites and their associated best management practices (BMPs). The system also enables localities to capture inspection information, catalog stormwater outfalls, document illicit discharge investigations and record public education information. Users can query a variety of reports to satisfy the reporting requirements of their

- 7 - Hampton Roads Regional Cooperation in Stormwater Management FY 2014

stormwater permits. In FY12 and FY13, the Stormwater Workgroup reviewed the potential for PARS to track and report the implementation of Chesapeake Bay TMDL strategies, as the Chesapeake Bay Program and DEQ continued to refine the data reporting requirements for BMPs. In FY14, the Stormwater Workgroup expressed interest in obtaining a quote from URS to update PARS to meet their current needs. URS submitted a scope of work in July 2014 that was approved by the Regional Environmental Committee in August 2014.

RELATED PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS

In various combinations, the twelve (12) MS4 communities, as well as their non-permitted counterpart communities, participate in a wide variety of related programs. These programs are noted here because of their relationship with stormwater management.

Chesapeake Bay Program Over the past several years, the Hampton Roads Region has devoted considerable attention to the ongoing Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP). To facilitate local government participation in Chesapeake Bay Program activities, HRPDC and locality staff have participated in the deliberations of many CBP committees and work groups dealing with urban stormwater, land development, watershed planning, land use development, modeling and local government’s role in the Bay Program. Since the development of the Chesapeake Bay TMDL in December 2010, HRPDC staff has continued to follow the activities of the CBP primarily through participation in the Urban Stormwater Workgroup. In FY 2014, local government stormwater staff served on the Street sweeping and IDDE panels that develop Bay Program efficiencies for new stormwater best management practices. HRPDC staff co-chaired the Bay Program’s Land Use Workgroup.

Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act Program Fourteen of the sixteen member localities continue to implement programs in response to the Virginia Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act. Stormwater management is one component of those programs. Although the CBPA is not formally part of the multi-state Chesapeake Bay Program, described above, it serves as one element of local government implementation actions to comply with their MS4 Permits and to meet the goals of the Bay Program.

Water Quality Management Planning The state is developing a substantial number of TMDL (Total Maximum Daily Load) Studies and subsequent development of TMDL Implementation Plans. This work follows from the classification of the waters by the state as meeting or failing to meet water quality standards. Water bodies that fail to meet water quality standards are classified as “impaired,” triggering the requirement to prepare the TMDL study. The HRPDC staff has coordinated regional involvement in the “impaired waters” listing process. This has entailed providing opportunities through the Regional Environmental Committee for education of local government staff on the TMDL process, development of technical comments on the “impaired waters” list and response to the development of TMDLs themselves.

- 8 - Hampton Roads Regional Cooperation in Stormwater Management FY 2014

To assist the region’s localities in addressing this requirement and ensuring that Implementation Plans are feasible, the HRPDC staff is working with DEQ to devise a cooperative regional partnership to coordinate the TMDL study process with the localities and to develop the required Implementation Plans. This year, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Virginia Beach partnered with DEQ, HRPDC, and HRSD to collect stormwater samples from the Elizabeth River watershed and analyze them for PCB concentration. The information will be used in the development of the Lower James and Elizabeth River PCB TMDL.

Sanitary Sewer Overflows In late 2004, HRPDC staff began implementing an electronic reporting and record keeping system known as the Sanitary Sewer Overflow Reporting System (SSORS). SSORS enables localities to communicate information about sanitary sewer overflows across departmental lines, allowing for easier reporting. The regional fats, oils, and grease abatement program (HR FOG) was created to help wastewater utilities by decreasing overflows due to FOG blockages. However, the FOG education program also benefits the stormwater program because of the potential for FOG to cause illicit discharges to the stormwater system.

CONCLUSION

Through the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission, the sixteen localities of Hampton Roads have established a comprehensive Regional Stormwater Management Program. This program provides technical assistance, coordination, comprehensive technical studies and policy analyses and stormwater education. The Regional Stormwater Management Program enables the region’s localities to participate actively and effectively in state and federal regulatory matters. It has enhanced the ability of the twelve localities with VPDES Permits for their Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems to comply with permit requirements.

The Regional Stormwater Management Program provides a mechanism through which the strengths of the sixteen local stormwater programs can be mutually supportive. It allows for cost-effective compliance with permit requirements, resolution of citizen concerns with stormwater drainage and water quality matters, and achievement of improved environmental quality throughout the Hampton Roads Region.
