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 Conservation and Recreation, 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 Conservation and Recreation of the owner and site location of all land disturbing activities that are one (1) acre or greater. The Department of Conservation and Recreation 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 Conservation and Recreation (DCR). 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 Conservation and Recreation 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. DCR 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 DCR 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.

Status: 11/12 Annual Report Period July 1, 2011 – June 30, 2012

The City continues to gather and enter into the database all pertinent information regarding the Stormwater Management Program effectiveness indicators (see Appendix 2.1). The majority of the information acquired is entered into the database on a monthly basis. However, there are a few effectiveness indicators; such as spill responses by the Fire Department, miles of drainage facilities serviced, miles of streets swept and tons of material removed by Public Works crews, which are entered yearly.

Greenlands Program:

The City continued to protect approximately 9,583 acres of greenlands in the form of parks, wetlands, and resource protected areas (see Appendix 3.1). The total numbers for each green area type and hydrologic basin are provided in the Indicator Database.

BMP Implementation:

Three (3) private BMPs were constructed during the reporting period; two (2) BMPs were designed and installed as wet ponds and one (1) BMP was designed and installed as a grassed swale.

3- 6 All three (3) BMPs are located in commercial areas of the City. The total numbers for each detention facility and hydrologic basin are provided in the Indicator Database. Additionally, during the reporting period, the City performed a total of twenty-one (21) BMP inspections and effectuated the maintenance of five (5) BMPs. 100 percent of the BMP inspections occurred in the Lower James River Watershed.

Erosion and Sediment Control:

The City issued one hundred and sixty-one (161) Land Disturbance Permits for various construction activities during the reporting period. These included erosion and sediment control plans, agreements-in-lieu-of plans, approved site and subdivision plans, and CBPA encroachments. The total amount of disturbed area for erosion and sediment control plans only was one hundred and seven (107) acres. Also during this time, the City’s Construction Inspection Division made a total of 1,370 inspections with eighty-eight (88) enforcement actions taken.

Flooding and Drainage Responses:

The Stormwater Management Division started and/or completed construction on twenty-nine (29) CIP programmed drainage projects at a total cost of $3,309,642.00, and four (4) non- programmed drainage projects at a total cost of $141,941.00 during the reporting period.

The City responded to 1,913 drainage complaints by either producing a work order for repair/maintenance or completing an engineering investigation of the problems that included clogged ditches, storm drain cave-ins, mosquito spraying, and erosion. The total numbers for each hydrologic basin are provided in the Indicator Database.

Investigative Monitoring:

The City’s Hazard Materials Response Team of the Fire Department responded to seventy-one (71) spills during the reporting period. The spills were gasoline, diesel, anti-freeze, transmission fluid, or oil. All incidents were treated effectively and all hazardous materials were properly disposed.

The Public Works Department responded to ten (10) overflows of City pump stations. All overflows were identified, corrected and reported to DEQ-TRO using a new computer program called Sanitary Sewer Overflow Reporting System (SSORS). The Hampton Roads Sanitation District (HRSD) responded to nine (9) overflows within the City. The same reporting computer program utilized by the City was also used by HRSD for reporting purposes.

3- 7 Operations and Maintenance:

The City’s Street Maintenance Division swept 12,238 miles of roads and highways to recover 10,052 tons of material during the reporting period. Also, approximately one hundred and eighteen (118) miles of drainage facilities were serviced during the reporting period. At this time the City does not separately track the number of drainage structures serviced or repaired. An inventory of outfalls within the City is included in this report as Appendix 3.2.

Construction Permits and Site Subdivision Plans Approved:

The City approved sixty-one (61) site and subdivision plans for construction during the reporting period. The total developed area was one hundred and seven (107) acres. Of the 107 acres developed, thirty (30) acres were newly developed and seventy- seven (77) acres were redeveloped. Inspections associated with this activity are included with the Erosion and Sediment Control part of this report. The total numbers for each month and hydrologic basin are provided in the Indicator Database.

Public Information and Outreach Programs:

The City did not track riparian restoration this reporting period. The City’s Recycling Division of the Department of Public Works provided the information regarding publications distributed during the reporting period.

Schedule: Ongoing Activity

Status: 11/12 Annual Report Period July 1, 2011 – June 30, 2012

Enforcement Actions:

The City’s Construction Inspection Division had eighty-eight (88) enforcement actions regarding an erosion and sediment control violation. The violations occurred at private development for unapproved construction activities and/or not having the proper erosion and sediment control measures in place. An initial, verbal “Notice to Comply” was given to the property owner on each separate occasion. All violations associated with the aforementioned sites were corrected before more stringent enforcement penalties were levied. There were no Stop Work Orders issued by the City’s Construction Inspectors for non-compliance with City Ordinances, and no Civil Penalties were assessed.

Inspections:

Details of land disturbing permit activities are shown in I.A.3.d. The City continues to enforce the Soil Removal and Other Land Disturbance Activities Ordinance, Site Plan and Subdivision Regulations, Design Criteria Manual, Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area and Stormwater Control Regulations for the purpose of reducing pollutants in stormwater runoff from all construction sites, whether they are by the City or private developers. Pre-construction meetings are mandatory on all construction sites requiring a Land Disturbance Permit. The City continues to routinely check construction sites and issue Notices to Comply when necessary. City inspectors made 1,370 inspections during the reporting period. 3- 9

Public Education:

Due to Budgetary constraints, the City no longer publishes and distributes its yearly environmental calendar. Instead, City staff has ramped-up its efforts with respect to public education/community outreach activities. During the reporting period, staff from the City’s Department of Engineering conducted several public meetings and promoted educational programs that address stormwater run-off concerns to such entities as:

Elementary and middle-school classes in the Newport News Public School System (various dates) The Summer Lake Homeowners Assoc. (08/15/11) The Indigo Dam Homeowners Assoc.

Description Of Incident Friday night- 8/26/11 initial rain bands from the leading edges of Hurricane Irene brought multiiple inches of rainfall/hr for the next day and a half of time into the Hampton Roads region of Virginia until Hurricane Irene passed out of this region on Sunday morning- 8/28/11. This massive increase of stormwater to the city's SS system overwhelmed the design capacity of the system to safely transport normal design flows to HRSD for treatment resulting in the SSO. Possible Receptors Warwick River Description of Materials Sanitary Sewer Corrective Action PS pumps failed. Once corrective action could be taken due to the storms nature repairs were made and pumps brought back online. Over time the pumps regained control of the sewer flows coming into the PS. However due to the low lying area around the PS and the amount of water accumulating in the area no evidence of an SSO could be seen at the time of the repairs. Once Hurricane Irene had passed out of the region and the PS inspected some limited evidence of an overflow could be found around a manhole near to the PS. Without a start time nor stop time an accurate measure of the amount of an overflow could be rendered, therefore the (-1) measurement was used until sufficient data can be found to conduct an accurate overflow calculation. WO #145791 was used to address and correct this SSO.

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 2012 (7/01/2011 – 6/30/2012) 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 2012 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 2012 accounts for less than 2% of the total land area. Changes in pollutant loadings for the City of Newport News between fiscal year 2006 and 2012 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, 2012, it has preserved over 9,500 acres of greenlands. This sum includes 3,684 acres of parklands, 3,551 acres of resource protection areas, 1,773 acres of wetlands, and 575 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 2012, the City installed 3 new stormwater facilities to serve approximately 107 acres. Over the course of the year, the City also performed a total of 21 BMP inspections and 5 maintenance activities. Graphs in Part II illustrate the BMP Implementation trends over the past twelve 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 2012, the City of Newport News issued 161 erosion and sediment control permits for land-disturbing projects that affected a sum of 107 acres. Over the course of the year, the City performed 1,370 erosion and sediment control inspections and issued 88 enforcement actions. The number of acres disturbed in 2012 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 twelve years.

Flooding and Drainage Responses

Between FY 2002 and FY 2012, the City of Newport News has responded to an average of 1,300 citizen inquiries per year. In FY 2012, the city responded to 1,913 citizen requests for service. The table below identifies the number of responses for each fiscal year. Since tracking began, the City has responded to more than 14,000 citizen inquiries.

Please see Part II to view a graph of the City’s flooding and drainage response trends over the past twelve 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 2012, the City of Newport News allocated $3,309,642 to the CIP for 29 stormwater improvement projects. In addition to the CIP projects, $141,941 was allocated for four 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 2012, the City investigated, confirmed and corrected 71 spills (including gas, transmission/break fluid, and chemical spills) and 19 sewer discharges. The City also conducted 37 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 2012, 118 miles of drainage facilities were cleaned and 12,198 catch basins were cleaned out. In addition, 12,238 miles of streets were swept which prevented 10,052 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 2012.

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 2012, the City issued 161 construction permits and approved 61 development plans. Approximately 107 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 2012.

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.

During fiscal year 2012, the City of Newport News carried out the following public outreach activities to enhance the environmental knowledge of its citizens and to improve water quality. Plastics Recycling Event (November 2011) Electronics Recycling/Plastic bag Recycling and Shredding Events (November 2011) Food Waste Composting Initiative/Demonstration (November 2011) Newport News “Buy Green Exposition” (March 2012)

7 Newport News Green Foundation’s “Dig-In” Earth Day Race/Event (April 2012) Newport News Green Foundation’s “Garden Party” Event (May 2012)

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 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 FY2012, 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: • Developed and distributed “Scoop the Poop” stickers to residents to place on their trash can and serve as a visual reminder to dog owners walking by. • Ran the “3 Reasons Why You Should Stop & Think Before Fertilizing” radio and online campaign from March 12-25, 2012. • Recruited schools and volunteer groups to mark storm drains with medallions that say “No Dumping: Leads To Waterway.” The program includes medallions, adhesive, a lesson plan and PowerPoint presentation about stormwater and how individual actions affect our local waterways.

8 Additional details on the askHRgreen.org program activities for FY2012 are contained in the “askHRgreen.org Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2012” that is contained in the Appendix 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.

glossary of terms

Impressions: the number of times an advertisement or public relations placement can be seen or heard by an audience.

Public Relations Value: the equivalent advertising cost of a public relations article, interview, internet placement, etc. times three. Because a public relations placement has a higher value with an audience than advertising, it is assigned a higher value.

Added Value: earned but unpaid advertising value.

Exposure Value: the combination of advertising cost and public relations value.

CTR (Clickthrough Rate): a way of measuring online advertising. The CTR of an advertisement is defined as the number of clicks on an ad divided by its impressions, expressed as a percentage.

Unique Visitors: a measure of the amount of unique people who visit a site, or click on a link in a given amount of time. While a single person could tally multiple page views by reloading a page, it will still count as a single unique visitor.

Focal Area: Great American CleanupTM National Action Days Target Audience: Entire Hampton Roads Community

Hampton Roads, through the partnership of askHRgreen.org and Keep Virginia Beautiful, was selected as one of 10 national locations for Keep America Beautiful’s 2012 Great American CleanupTM National Action Days. The Great American Cleanup is the largest grass roots community involvement program in the United States. The launch of the Hampton Roads cleanup events, April 27-28, 2012, represented the only event in Virginia and involved over 1,700 volunteers transforming local parks, waterways, and recreational areas into cleaner, greener environments.

For our 2012 National Action Days, Hampton Roads localities hosted and organized “transformational” community improvement projects that involved the help of 25 or more volunteers per project, for a half day of work. The event was designed to connect Hampton Roads volunteers with projects that are meaningful to their community. Hampton Roads businesses and military servicemen and servicewomen were also invited to form their own cleanup teams to work on projects as a group. In addition, community and environmental leaders applied to spearhead their own projects.

Take Back the Tap Events

To celebrate Drinking Water Week and the launch of the TapIt program, askHRgreen.org hosted Take Back the Tap events across Hampton Roads from May 6-12, 2012. Armed with 4,000 free, reusable water bottles and a wealth of information on the benefits of choosing clean, safe tap water, members (and the askHRgreen.org mobile education trailer) traveled to seven different cities in seven days promoting stewardship of our most precious resource across the region. As a part of this week-long celebration, askHRgreen.org partnered with Buffalo Wild Wings locations to raise funds to support the Help to Others (H20) program, which provides financial assistance to Hampton Roads water and wastewater utility customers in need.

A video highlighting the week-long Take Back the Tap celebrations was submitted to the American Water Work Association’s 2012 Drinking Water Week Video Contest and askHRgreen.org won first prize ($500 worth of consumer and youth education products from the AWWA bookstore) for the entry.

With a focus on simple steps residents and businesses can take to find their “inner green” and become environmental stewards, askHRgreen.org has blossomed into a go-to resource for everything green in Hampton Roads.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The Hampton Roads Planning District Commission, in cooperation with the Regional Stormwater Management Committee (RSMC), prepared this report.

Preparation of this report was included in the HRPDC Unified Planning Work Program for FY 2012-2013, approved by the Commission at its Executive Committee Meeting of April 19, 2012.

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 2011-2012. 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 the Regional Stormwater Management Committee 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.

- 1 - Hampton Roads Regional Cooperation in Stormwater Management FY 2012

The goals were presented to 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 March 2008 renewal of the MOA. 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 HRPDC Regional Stormwater Management Committee (RSMC) recommended during FY 1995-1996 that a formal regional program be established at the HRPDC. The 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.

In late 1999, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated the final Phase II Stormwater Permit Regulations. To facilitate review of the regulations, the HRPDC staff prepared a “Review and Summary of the Regulations.” That review summarized regulatory requirements, highlighted differences between the Phase I and Phase II regulations, and noted potential issues that needed to be considered by the Phase II localities. That report served as the basis for the region’s six Phase II localities moving forward in a cooperative fashion to address the Phase II Permit requirements.

- 2 - Hampton Roads Regional Cooperation in Stormwater Management FY 2012

Phase I Localities The efforts of the Phase I localities this year have focused on developing input for Virginia’s Phase II Watershed Implementation Plan and preparing for local program changes required by revisions of the Virginia Stormwater Management Regulations. Localities also urged Virginia and the EPA to remove Phase I MS4 individual Waste Load Allocations from the Bay TMDL.

Localities have continued to follow the Phase I MS4 permit renewal process in Virginia. The Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) has switched focus from reissuing the Fairfax County permit to reissuing the Arlington County permit. HRPDC staff has continued to work with the localities to obtain copies of the draft permit and review the draft with the RSMC. The Phase I localities have monitored and commented on the development of the Phase II MS4 General Permit since the proposed changes may eventually be proposed in the Phase I MS4 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 cooperate to evaluate proposed changes to the Phase II General Permit. The Phase II General Permit is scheduled to be reissued on July 1, 2013. HRPDC and local staff volunteered to serve on the State’s Regional Advisory Panels for the Phase II General Permit, expansion of Nutrient Exchange, changes to Dam Safety requirements and the application of pesticides to surface waters. The representatives shared updates and concerns with the RSMC to develop regional comments on proposed regulatory changes. Activities in FY 2012 included regional training sessions on the Chesapeake Bay Program’s VAST tool, the State’s proposed e-permitting system, and requirements in the new Stormwater Regulations.

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 are represented on the HRPDC Regional Stormwater Management Committee, which meets twice a month. These meetings provide an opportunity to exchange information about successful stormwater management techniques, program activities, utility structures and policies, and a myriad of related environmental issues. Cooperating agencies such as DCR, Department of Environmental Quality, Virginia Department of Transportation, Hampton Roads Sanitation District, and the US Navy regularly participate in one of the monthly meetings.

- 3 - Hampton Roads Regional Cooperation in Stormwater Management FY 2012

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 waterbodies. Issues associated with these programs are also addressed during the monthly meetings. In FY12, the RSMC discussed and provided input to DEQ on the PCB TMDL for the Lower James and Elizabeth River and the bacteria TMDL for Hoffler Creek. From July 2011 to April 2012, HRPDC held monthly meetings of the Chesapeake Bay TMDL Steering Committee. The meetings discussed the State’s request for local input for the Phase II WIP and provided guidance to localities on how to develop TMDL strategies.

During FY 2011-2012, representatives of the Regional Stormwater Management Committee assisted the HRPDC staff with developing its comprehensive work program. The HRPDC work program continues to include a strategic planning initiative, identified previously as a high priority activity by this group. The Committee continued the long-term effort to better integrate the various reporting requirements associated with the state’s stormwater management programs and to explore institutional approaches to further enhance the region’s environmental planning and management programs. In addition, this year the RSMC reviewed the EPA’s guidance on Integrated Planning and had a discussion with HRSD about the potential application of this strategy in Hampton Roads.

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 regularly by representatives of the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) on state initiatives related to the Virginia Stormwater Management Regulations, by DEQ staff on the development of TMDLs for local waters and by DCR concerning the Chesapeake Bay Program TMDL efforts.

Watershed Roundtables The Watershed Roundtable approach is Virginia’s preferred approach to 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 RSMC 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, a Public Information and Education Subcommittee consisting of local stormwater education/public information staff was established in 1997. The Public Information and Education Subcommittee (HR STORM) was established during FY 1997-1998 and meets on a monthly basis. Program funding supported, in part, HRPDC staff members, who also coordinated the

- 4 - Hampton Roads Regional Cooperation in Stormwater Management FY 2012

region’s water conservation education program (HR WET), the regional litter control and recycling education program (HR CLEAN), and the regional wastewater (fats, oil and grease) educational program (HRFOG).

Beginning in FY2011, the HRPDC staff began to combine these separate programs 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 education subcommittee continues to meet on a monthly basis to discuss education priorities for stormwater. The activities conducted through the askHRgreen.org campaign for the year are summarized in the askHRgreen.org Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2012 annual report entitled.

TRAINING

Since 2004, the HRPDC staff has worked with the six Phase II communities to develop and conduct training programs for local government staff. Program topics are reviewed and prioritized annually by the Phase II Subcommittee. The next training is scheduled for Winter 2012 and will focus on lessons learned from audits in the region including general pollution prevention and good housekeeping at municipal facilities. HRPDC will also coordinate with DCR to host additional training linked to new local program requirements and certifications.

LEGISLATIVE & REGULATORY MONITORING

This element of the program involves monitoring of state and federal legislative and regulatory activities that may impact local stormwater management programs. Based on this monitoring activity, 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

- 5 - Hampton Roads Regional Cooperation in Stormwater Management FY 2012

past five years. During 2011-2012, the regional emphasis was continued participation in the evolving regulatory stormwater program of the Department of Conservation and Recreation and the development of the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) and Implementation Plans for the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.

Virginia Stormwater Regulations Revisions to the Stormwater Regulations were approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Board in May 2011 and will be implemented by localities by July 1, 2014. In FY12, HRPDC and local government staff served on DCR’s Stormwater Local Government Advisory Committee. The committee provided input to DCR on development of a model ordinance and other guidance documents. Other challenges include establishing an approval process for local programs and clarifying certification requirements.

The region is also currently represented on the DCR Stormwater BMP Clearinghouse Committee that was developed to review protocols for proprietary BMP pollutant removal efficiencies, and is a result of a similar regional effort explored by the HRPDC. Regional input is coordinated through the HRPDC Regional Stormwater Management Committee.

Chesapeake Bay TMDL and Virginia Phase II Implementation Plan Because the water quality goals set forth in the Chesapeake 2000 Agreement were not met by 2010, the Environmental Protection Agency established a Total Maximum Daily Load for the Chesapeake Bay on December 29, 2010. The jurisdictions within the Bay watershed are expected to develop strategies to meet the nutrient and sediment load reductions outlined in the TMDL. In November 2010, Virginia submitted to EPA 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. On December 15, 2011, Virginia submitted its draft Phase II WIP to EPA. Virginia submitted its final Phase II WIP to EPA on March 30, 2012.

In a November 9, 2011 letter to local governments, DCR director Mr. David Johnson identified Virginia’s data needs from localities for the Phase II WIP and requested that the following information be submitted to DCR by February 1, 2012: 1. Develop a current BMP inventory. 2. Evaluate the land use/land cover information. 3. Review the 2017 and 2025 BMP scenarios as identified in the Phase I WIP and develop preferred local scenarios that provide a similar level of treatment. 4. Develop strategies to implement the preferred BMP scenarios. 5. Identify any resource needs to implement the strategies and BMP scenarios.

To address the State’s request, the HRPDC endorsed the following process at its meeting on November 17, 2011: Localities will each submit an individual plan to DCR that focuses on narrative strategies and includes items 1, 2, 4, and 5 above. •

HRPDC staff will translate strategies into a report with two basin-level BMP scenarios of the cumulative local strategies to address item #3 above. • The “Hampton Roads Regional Planning Framework, Scenario, and Strategies” report covered item #3 and provided a regional summary of items 1, 2, 4, and 5. The HRPDC staff completed the report and the Commission approved it on January 19, 2012. Localities submitted the report to DCR as an appendix to local plans.

During the last three years, staff has closely followed the EPA’s development of the Chesapeake Bay TMDL. Staff also participated in Virginia’s efforts to create its Watershed Implementation Plan for the Chesapeake Bay through attending the Stakeholder Advisory Group meetings from August 2011 to March 2012. The charge of the Stakeholder Advisory Group was to provide guidance and recommendations to the Secretary of Natural Resources during the development of the Chesapeake Bay TMDL Phase II WIP. Specific issues addressed by the committee included: • Provide recommendations on strategies to successfully engage local governments, planning district commissions, soil and water conservation districts, and other local and regional entities in the Phase II WIP process; • Provide comments and recommendations on issues raised by local governments, planning district commissions, soil and water conservation districts, and other local and regional entities as they work toward identifying pollution reduction practices and strategies to be undertaken at the local level; • Identify potential resources, including funding and staffing opportunities, to assist local governments and other local entities in implementing identified practices.

HRPDC has provided numerous comments on this process and continues to be actively involved in the implementation of the Chesapeake Bay TMDL.

REGIONAL STUDIES

Reducing Nutrients on Private Property: Evaluation of Programs, Practices and Incentives The goal of this project was to investigate the feasibility, opportunities, and constraints of utilizing best management practices (BMPs) for nutrient reduction on existing urban/suburban residential and light commercial private property as a strategy to meet the Chesapeake Bay TMDL. The report included the following information: • Examples of local government collaboration with grant-funded, community-based, and other voluntary stormwater management/stewardship projects in the Hampton Roads area; • A sample of model programs and strategies to work within the locality’s authority and leverage existing tools to implement and maintain retrofits and BMPs on private property;

• A summary of existing programs by locality including the number of potential existing BMPs on private property and the grant money received for the projects; and • A summary table of all stakeholders contacted and programs/program details reviewed during the project.

Section 2 of the report, Existing Model Programs, provides a number of model programs that localities can emulate or modify based on their own needs in order to increase the number of BMPs on private property. As a next step, HRPDC is coordinating with Wetlands Watch to hold a regional Strategic Summit to take a more intensive look at existing programs and opportunities for collaboration, coordination, and partnerships.

Redevelopment as a Nutrient Reduction Strategy The Hampton Roads Planning District Commission received a grant in 2011 from the Virginia DEQ Coastal Zone Management Program to examine the role that redevelopment may have in helping to meet the nutrient reduction goals of the Chesapeake Bay TMDL. The study recommended that water quality treatment from redevelopment activities should be one of the strategies that localities use to help meet their Chesapeake Bay TMDL nutrient reduction goals. The following recommendations were identified to help localities plan for using redevelopment as a strategy: 1. Develop a definition of redevelopment for stormwater management site plan design review that is consistent with Virginia’s Stormwater Management Regulations. 2. Use redevelopment planning as a catalyst to help provide water quality treatment in existing developed areas that don’t currently have water quality controls. 3. Develop a process for tracking nutrient removal due to redevelopment activities so that progress towards the Chesapeake Bay TMDL requirements can be calculated.

Bacteria Source Tracking The HRPDC is leading a regional effort to develop a bacterial identification methodology for the Hampton Roads Region. Proven genetic techniques are being used to differentiate bacteria sources, so that TMDL plans can be designed to address the cause of the bacterial impairment. During FY2012, researchers from Virginia Tech, University of South Florida, and University of North Carolina in coordination with locality staff and the Hampton Roads Sanitation District (HRSD) analyzed bacteria samples from three case study watersheds in Suffolk, York County, and Virginia Beach. A final Study report is expected in November 2012.

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.

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE

- 8 - Hampton Roads Regional Cooperation in Stormwater Management FY 2012

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. The HRPDC is frequently requested by localities from other parts of Virginia for assistance due to its experience with stormwater management programs in Hampton Roads.

In FY2012, technical assistance to localities was focused on disseminating information related to the Chesapeake Bay TMDL and Virginia’s Phase II Watershed Implementation Plan. Throughout 2010-2012, HRPDC staff briefed the Hampton Roads Planning District Commissioners on the Phase II WIP development process, and Commissioners approved actions that influenced the Phase II WIP development process. Meeting materials or correspondence for the HRPDC commission meetings and regional steering committee meetings can be reviewed on the HRPDC website (http://www.hrpdcva.gov/).

The Regional Chesapeake Bay TMDL Steering Committee was convened in July 2011 as an advisory committee to HRPDC to involve regional stakeholders in the Phase II WIP development process. Building from the Tributary Strategies Project Steering Committee in the mid-1990s, the HRPDC invited agencies and organizations contributing to and benefiting from nutrient reductions to join locality representatives in participating on the Regional Steering Committee. Suggestions from the Steering Committee were brought to the HRPDC for approval. The Commissioner’s actions from the previous month were reviewed at each Regional Steering Committee Meeting. A summary of each meeting is included in the “Hampton Roads Regional Planning Framework, Scenario, and Strategies” report.

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. Due to increasing dependence upon the HRPDC to fulfill various permit requirements for both Phase I and Phase II localities, the HRPDC staff and RSMC developed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), formalizing the existing regional program, while providing a structure for future program evolution and regional cooperation. The MOA outlines the basic regulatory and programmatic premises for the cooperative program, incorporating the Regional Program Goals, outlined earlier in this report. It establishes a division of program responsibilities among the HRPDC and the participating localities and establishes the role and responsibilities of the Regional Stormwater Management Committee. It formalizes the traditional method of allocating program costs, addresses questions of legal liability for program implementation and includes other general provisions. The MOA is reauthorized by the signatories every five years. It was last executed in March 2008.

PERMIT ADMINISTRATION AND REPORTING SYSTEM (PARS)

- 9 - Hampton Roads Regional Cooperation in Stormwater Management FY 2012

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. Based on local needs and anticipated Phase I permit requirements, as well as changes in the state stormwater management regulations, the region contracted with URS Corporation to develop a web-based data tracking and reporting system. The first modules of the system are already 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, as well as collecting documentation for future inspections or enforcement actions. In addition, localities can use the site to catalog stormwater outfalls, document illicit discharge investigations and record public education information. Users can then query a variety of reports to satisfy the reporting requirements of their stormwater permits. In FY12, the RSMC reviewed the potential for PARS to track and report the implementation of Chesapeake Bay TMDL strategies. The Chesapeake Bay Program and DCR continue to refine the data reporting requirements for BMPs so the evaluation of PARS will continue in FY13.

RELATED PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS

In various combinations, the twelve (12) MS4 communities, as well as their non-permitted counterpart communities, in Hampton Roads 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 staff and RSMC members 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, the HRPDC and the RSMC have continued to follow the activities of the CBP primarily through participation in the Urban Stormwater Workgroup. In FY 2012, local government stormwater staff volunteered to serve on the BMP Retrofit panel and IDDE panel that develop Bay Program efficiencies for new stormwater best management practices.

Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act Program Fourteen of the sixteen member localities, including the six cities with Phase I MS4 Permits and the six localities with Phase II MS4 Permits, 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 Supply Planning Beginning with the drought of 2002, the Department of Environmental Quality embarked on an intensive effort to develop regulations governing water supply planning and permitting. This effort was directed by legislation enacted by the Virginia General Assembly in 2003. With a small grant from DEQ, the HRPDC staff and Utilities Committee developed a framework for accomplishing development of a regional water supply and educational materials on the state planning requirements. In 2011, HRPDC completed the Hampton Roads Regional Water Supply Plan. The plan addresses the requirements of the state planning process for all local governments in the region.

Water Quality Management Planning Under the Clean Water Act, state legislation, water quality management planning regulations and a consent order involving the Commonwealth of Virginia and the federal government, the state is proceeding with development of 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. Once a TMDL Study is completed, state law requires the development of an Implementation Plan, which will restore water quality in the water body to a level that meets water quality standards.

The HRPDC staff has coordinated regional involvement in the “impaired waters” listing process. This has entailed providing opportunities through the Joint 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.

The HRPDC staff is currently working with the region’s localities in participating in TMDL studies. This year the RSMC has provided input on the PCB TMDL for the Lower James and Elizabeth River and implementation plan for the bacteria TMDL for Hoffler Creek. 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.

Sanitary Sewer Overflows In late 2004, the HRPDC staff began implementing an electronic reporting and record keeping system known as the Sanitary Sewer Overflow Reporting System (SSORS). HRPDC staff has provided informational briefings and presentations on this system to a variety of agencies across the state. SSORS enables localities to communicate information about sanitary sewer overflows across departmental lines, allowing for easier reporting. SSORS was the basis for the creation of PARS.

Work continues under the Regional Special Order by Consent with DEQ, thirteen local governments, HRSD and HRPDC. The Order established the framework for sewer system evaluation, flow monitoring, determination of allowable levels of infiltration/inflow, system

modeling, and the appropriate balance between system and treatment capacity and collection systems.

As a part of this effort, the regional fats, oils and grease abatement program (HR FOG) was invigorated. A variety of materials for restaurants and residents has been developed to inform the public of proper FOG disposal methods. This is relevant to the stormwater program because of the potential for illicit discharges into 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, supporting both permitted and non-permitted localities alike. 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. Their long history of participating in the Regional Stormwater Management Program enhanced the efforts of the localities that obtained Phase II MS4 Permits in 2003 to move forward cooperatively with permit applications and program development. In fact, their participation in the regional program over the past decade led to the establishment of the cooperative Phase II Permit component of the regional program.

Since the HRPDC staff also coordinates a number of other regional environmental initiatives, the program allows for effective coordination and regional balancing of the various activities. On several occasions over the last several years, the HRPDC formally endorsed recommendations developed through this coordinated initiative on state water quality and technology standards, funding guidelines, implementation strategies, as well as on state legislation addressing funding needs for water quality improvement programs.

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.
