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 Code. 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.

Department of Environmental Quality Tidewater Regional Office 5636 Southern Boulevard Virginia Beach, Virginia 23462

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. Indicators of Storm Water Management Program Effectiveness

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. The Department of Environmental Quality 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 Water Quality Pollutant Loadings Physical and Hydrological Greenlands Program 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

The ten (10) 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

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. e. Flooding and Drainage Projects

An 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. f. 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. g. 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 and 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. h. Permitting and Compliance

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 or redeveloped acres will be tracked. i. Environmental Knowledge

Informing individuals, households and businesses about storm water issues and measures they can all take to reduce pollution is important to 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. j. Water Quality Nutrient Loadings

Nutrient loadings will be tracked on an annual basis. Pollutant loading estimates will be developed using the Event Mean Concentrations (EMCs), data on percent impervious, and acreage of land use change (acreage). Loading reductions will be calculated 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. The EMCs used in these calculations, will be those calculated in Permit Year 3 of the previous permit and modified to reflect the Permit Year 5 EMC calculations.

City of Newport News BMP Inventory Prepared by Department of Engineering FY 2008 – 2009 INDICATORS OF STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM EFFECTIVENESS

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

1 Microsoft Access 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 Greenlands Programs Hydrological 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 2009 (7/01/2008 – 6/30/2009) and consists of two parts. Part One describes each indicator and contains short data summaries. Part Two contains graphic summaries of each indicator. A similar report has been prepared for the Hampton Roads region as a separate document.

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 2009 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 2009 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 2009 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, 2009, it has preserved over 8,357 acres of greenlands. This sum includes 3,322 acres of parklands, 3,549 acres of resource protection areas, 846 acres of wetlands, and 640 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:

4 • 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.

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

In fiscal year 2009, the City installed 11 new stormwater facilities to serve approximately 112 acres. Over the course of the year, the City also performed a total of 21 BMP inspections and 4 maintenance activities. Graphs in Part II illustrate the BMP Implementation trends over the past eight 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 2009, the City of Newport News issued 122 erosion and sediment control permits for land-disturbing projects that affected a sum of 112 acres. Over the course of the year, the City performed 1,762 erosion and sediment control inspections and issued 15 enforcement actions. The number of acres disturbed in 2007 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 nine years.

Flooding and Drainage Responses

Calls and complaints received from citizens can be an indicator of the performance of a stormwater program. Responsiveness of a stormwater program, in the form of inspections and resulting maintenance activities, to citizen inquiries can also be an indicator of effective administration of the stormwater program. The database is structured to collect data on the number of citizen calls and responses.

Between FY 2002 and FY 2009, the City of Newport News has responded to an average of 1058 citizen inquiries per year. In FY 2009, the city responded to 1,598 citizen requests for service. The table below identifies the number of responses for

5 each fiscal year. Since tracking began, the City has responded to over 8,450 citizen inquiries.

Please see Part II to view a graph of the City’s flooding and drainage response trends over the past eight 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 2009, the City of Newport News allocated $1,754,623 to the CIP for 4 stormwater improvement projects. In addition to the CIP projects, $589,267 was allocated for fifteen 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 2009, the City investigated, confirmed and corrected 197 spills (including gas, transmission/break fluid, and chemical spills) and 6 sewer discharges. The City also conducted 6 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.

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 2009, 97 miles of drainage facilities were cleaned and 4,851 catch basins were cleaned out. In addition, 17,685 miles of streets were swept which prevented 11,424 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 2009.

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 2009, the City issued 122 construction permits and approved 78 development plans. Approximately 112 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 2009.

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 2009, the City of Newport News carried out a variety of public outreach activities to enhance the environmental knowledge of its citizens and to improve water quality. Educational stormwater presentations given at conferences and to Home Owners Association (HOA) groups reached approximately 150 citizens in Newport News. Presentations often focused on improving water quality by using a variety of pollution prevention techniques such as limiting the amount of fertilizer used on residential lawns.

7 Also in fiscal year 2009, many activities were carried out through HR STORM, the regional stormwater education program of which the City of Norfolk is an active participant.

The HRPDC, on behalf of HR STORM, contracted with Cox Media, WVEC, WGNT, and Metro Networks for advertising. Through Cox Media, HR STORM ads appeared on channels with high viewership such as the Weather Channel, ESPN2, and national news carriers like CNBC and MSNBC, as well as niche channels such as Home and Garden Television (HGTV). Metro Traffic aired spots during different drive times, reminding citizens about the need for proper auto maintenance and disposal of auto related chemicals, as well as of leaves and lawn maintenance, pet waste disposal and more.

The media campaign was created to reflect the demographics of Hampton Roads. According to the Nielsen Norfolk Designated Marketing Area (DMA)®, thirty percent of households are African-American. Thirty percent of WGNT and WVEC viewers and 26% of Cox Media’s cable subscribers are African-American. *Only WGNT was able to provide reach and frequency numbers based on demographic.

In addition to the media campaign, HR STORM also provides stormwater education messages, publications, and recently aired stormwater ads on its website at http://www.hrstorm.org, which received 9,497 page views in fiscal year 2009. Also during the year, 222 citizens called 58-STORM, the region’s automated stormwater information line.

Other noteworthy program components this year include the following:

• Over 60,000 “Scoop the Poop” inserts were mailed with animal license renewal bills, distributed at Treasurer’s Offices, included in local newsletters, and distributed in pet adoption kits.

8 • HR STORM awarded $2,041 in mini-grants to fund watershed restoration and soil erosion prevention, reaching over 500 youth. • An email marketing campaign for the Mini-Grant program dramatically increased applications received. • The revised online ad campaign topped national averages in click-thru rates (CTR) • Social media extended the reach of HR STORM messages throughout the year.

A complete description of the activities of HR STORM is available in a separate report, “HR STORM: Hampton Roads Regional Stormwater Education Initiative Fiscal Year 2009 Annual Report”, found in Appendix 2.

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.

HR STORM HAMPTON ROADS REGIONAL STORMWATER EDUCATION INITIATIVES

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

HR STORM, the stormwater education program of the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission (HRPDC), is a coalition of local government staff members who come together to share ideas and pool resources for various educational programs tailored to stormwater management. HR STORM is a subcommittee of the Regional Stormwater Management Committee (RSMC). This committee’s focus is to develop and implement successful educational programs promoting stormwater management and pollution prevention throughout the Hampton Roads region. Some of the most recent educational efforts have encouraged watershed-friendly landscaping, proper pet waste management, maintenance of retention ponds (best management practices), and proper disposal methods for household chemicals and lawn and auto maintenance products.

HR STORM educates mainly through its media campaign, because focus group studies have indicated that the media is the most effective way to reach the highly transient Hampton Roads population. Radio, cable, and local television advertisements are the main media sources. Secondary sources are local publications and web advertisements on the media station websites. Using a mix of targeted television, radio, and print advertising, as well as updated website materials, HR STORM continues to provide the region with quality stormwater information.

In fall 2008, HR STORM began mailing “Scoop the Poop” inserts in animal license renewal bills. The effort was successful and an additional 35,000 inserts were ordered. Through this effort, approximately 65,000 Hampton Roads pet owners have received the insert.

Other efforts to educate the public about pollution prevention include an automated InfoLine (58-STORM), an informative website, and participation at area events. The website, hrstorm.org, continues to be updated with information for both those inside the water quality industry and general users. Through various local events, HR STORM members were able to interact with the public and distribute educational materials on stormwater pollution prevention techniques.

HR STORM continues to be a regional partner in joint environmental education programming with members of Fat Free Drains (HR FOG), HR CLEAN, and HR WET (Hampton Roads Water Efficiency Team), also referred to as HR Green. Prior to the creation of Fat Free Drains, the group was known as HR3. HR CLEAN is the regional committee dedicated to litter reduction and recycling. The Fat Free Drains regional committee works to prevent sanitary sewer overflows and backups caused by fats, oils, and grease improperly entering the sanitary sewer system through drains and grease traps. HR WET promotes water conservation throughout Hampton Roads.

Through participation in the HR Green Mini-Grant program, the committee reaches its goal of educating and raising awareness of pollution prevention and the importance of water quality among the youth of Hampton Roads. In FY09, $2,041 was awarded to schools and youth groups working on projects related to the missions and goals of HR STORM.

FAST POINTS

• Over 60,000 “Scoop the Poop” inserts were mailed with animal license renewal bills, distributed at Treasurer’s Offices, included in local newsletters, and distributed in pet adoption kits. • HR STORM awarded $2,041 in mini-grants to fund watershed restoration and soil erosion prevention, reaching over 500 youth. • An email marketing campaign for the Mini-Grant program dramatically increased applications received. • The revised online ad campaign topped national averages in click-thru rates (CTR) • Social media extended the reach of HR STORM messages throughout the year.

MEDIA

The HRPDC, on behalf of HR STORM, contracted with Cox Media, WVEC, WGNT, and Metro Networks for advertising. Through Cox Media, HR STORM ads appeared on channels with high viewership such as the Weather Channel, ESPN2, and national news carriers like CNBC and MSNBC, as well as niche channels such as Home and Garden Television (HGTV). WVEC Channel-13 aired the HR STORM spots during peak viewing times of shows such as The View, Oprah and Jeopardy. Metro Traffic aired spots during different drive times, reminding citizens about the need for proper auto maintenance and disposal of auto related chemicals, as well as of leaves and lawn maintenance, pet waste disposal and more.

HR STORM has begun creating a new television spot through WVEC. The spot will be available in fall 2009 and will educate citizens on the differences between the sanitary sewer and storm sewer systems.

keywords and phrases visitors use to find the HR STORM site indicate visitors are interested in rain barrels, rain events, and retention pond maintenance. Better search engine optimization will increase the likelihood that Hampton Roads residents seeking information on stormwater will find the HR STORM website. The Committee will continue utilizing Web 2.0 social media sites like YouTube and Twitter to draw more traffic to the site. The Committee will also evaluate key terms used in the site to improve search engine optimization and help more users find the HR STORM site.

Social Networking

In July 2008, HR STORM began using social networking tools to reach a wider range of Hampton Roads residents year-round. Ad campaigns on television and the radio are effective, but expensive. To supplement the existing media campaign, and to provide more content to Web users, the HR Green committees began posting items to sites such as YouTube, Twitter, Digg, and Delicious.

Delicious The site allows HR Green to bookmark articles and resources on green and environmental topics important to Hampton Roads. The bookmarks can be shared with other Delicious users. Bookmarks are labeled by topic for easy sorting.

Digg/Reddit News articles and videos on green and environmental topics important to Hampton Roads are “dugg” or “tagged” using the site. The articles are shared with those in HR Green’s network and made available to others.

Twitter Twitter is a micro-blogging site that allows users to post short messages to followers. Messages can be sent or received using the Internet, the computer desktop, or a cell phone. Individual users choose which micro-bloggers to “follow”, so those receiving the “tweets” have requested to receive messages. HR Green set up an account at www.twitter.com/HRGreen or @HRGreen. Regular messages updating followers about programs, tips, events, and website content are distributed to users. Twitter users are technology savvy, so they regularly follow links in Twitter posts directly to HRPDC sites. Since August 2008, @HRGreen has gained 640 followers. Many of the followers are from the Hampton Roads area. Other local government Twitter accounts also follow @HRGreen, including: @CVB (City of Virginia Beach Convention and Visitors Bureau) and @NorfolkKNB (Keep Norfolk Beautiful).

Through Twitter, HR Green’s followers receive multiple messages per week. @HRGreen has sent out 254 trackable messages resulting in 4910 click-thrus from Twitter to a site link provided. In the third quarter, the average post received 25 click-thrus, directly increasing site traffic to the HR Green websites and the YouTube account. Of those, 930 click-thrus went to HR STORM-related content.

Followers Tweets Total Click-Thrus HR STORM Click-Thrus 640 254 4910 930

YouTube HR STORM posted video to YouTube at www.YouTube.com/HRGreenVA and www.YouTube.com/HRPDC. The Scoop the Poop and Chesapeake Club public service announcements drew traffic from YouTube searches, embedded video players on other sites, and other sources. HR STORM videos on YouTube were viewed 2,373 times. Several of the videos were commented on by the public. HRPDC staff responded to the comments as appropriate. YouTube is a free service that allows the committees to provide a visual message to those in Hampton Roads, year-round.

INFOLINE: (757) 58-STORM

The HR STORM InfoLine, which directs callers to local contact numbers, remained on track with last year’s call volume. FY CALLS The telephone number is publicized through television and 08 222 radio spots, as well as displayed on promotional items such as 09 222 the pet note pads and magnets, key tags, auto funnels, exhibits and banners. The number was also published via Twitter @HRGreen on several occasions during or before rain events.

Examples of Twitter Tweets:

HRGreen: If you notice flooding or storm drainage problems during the storm, call 58- STORM (757) 587-8676. http://bit.ly/jIC8E Reply · View Tweet HRGreen: Quick! Pick up your pet's waste before the rain starts. Rain water carries pet waste into the waterways near your home. http://bit.ly/jkDRQ Reply · View Tweet

Committee members have begun converting 58-STORM to a dual-purpose line providing information on both flooding and reporting of illicit discharges. The new format will be live in FY10.

TOPICAL CAMPAIGNS

Education of local citizens on the need for clean waterways remains a goal of HR STORM. The committee is able to achieve this through a variety of educational programs on topics such as proper disposal of automotive wastes, pet waste, and the maintenance of BMPs.

“Scoop the Poop” Animal License Bill Inserts In an effort to curb illicit discharge of pet waste, HR STORM members contacted pet owners directly through each locality’s animal license renewal bill. Since the campaign began in fall 2008, over 60,000 inserts have been distributed. The bill insert featured the “Scoop the Poop” slogan and Jasper the Dog in keeping with the pet waste campaign. The inserts are also made available at Treasurer’s Offices, events and through SPCA adoption packages. The committee plans to revise the insert for fall 2009 and distribute it through the animal license bills again.

Storm Drain Markers Group Purchase Multiple localities within HR STORM wished to purchase storm drain medallions. Each participating locality purchased medallions with their own funding. The HRPDC coordinated the group purchase to save money. Through this group purchase, 4,925 medallions will be attached to storm drains by volunteers and city workers. Several member localities did not participate because they already had markers in stock.

Chesapeake Club Campaign The Chesapeake Club is a nutrient reduction campaign and ties into the stormwater permit requirements through its educational and outreach components. The slogan: “Save the Crabs—then Eat ‘Em” was coined to help people realize crabs in the Chesapeake Bay are dying due to pollutants. The campaign started in the Washington, D.C. area in 2004 and was expanded to the Richmond and Hampton Roads regions during the spring of 2007. Through a partnership agreement between HRPDC, on behalf of HR STORM, and the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) the campaign made its way to the citizens of Hampton Roads. DCR continued the program through grant funding which covered all media costs associated with running the campaign including television, pre- and post-surveys, and other ads.

This year, DCR had limited funding for the campaign. In FY09, DCR was only able to fund four newspaper ads in the Hampton Roads region. HR STORM spent time considering ways to implement the campaign in FY09 without significant financial resources from DCR. The committee decided to run the ads on municipal cable stations. HR STORM also kept the message in front of residents by linking the Chesapeake Club ads to the HR Green YouTube site. HR STORM dedicated additional funding to the FY10 campaign. The committee will distribute coasters at restaurants, play the spots on local government stations, and maintain a presence on YouTube. The committee also plans to purchase advertising time through local media outlets. In the spring of 2009, DCR received a $500,000 grant to develop a new campaign targeting a different behavior. DCR expects to launch the new campaign in fall 2010 or spring 2011. HR STORM will participate with DCR in the campaign creation.

Promotional and Exhibit Materials HRPDC staff and local representatives distribute promotional items for various events and meetings. A number of trainings and regional meetings occurred where material from HR STORM was made available. The HRPDC regularly distributes items to groups for events they hold (such as: The Hampton Roads Alliance for Environmental Education, Dollar Tree, Bank of America, Master Gardeners, 4H, and military bases).

HR STORM also has two freestanding banners and four tablecloths displaying the logo, web address and messages of HR STORM that were purchased to better equip members when exhibiting. The banners display information and tips to prevent stormwater pollution. One references proper pet waste disposal and the other general pollution prevention facts. The tablecloths display two campaigns. One displays the “Poop Fairy” and messages of that campaign and the other displays all of HR STORM’s contact information including the web address. Two of each are readily available to all members at each HRPDC office (southside and peninsula). Members continue to keep the banners on display in rotating public places from locality to locality.

The following is a listing of the items distributed by the HRPDC staff. Additional HR STORM promotional items distributed through the HR WET trailer in the 2nd half of FY09 are noted.

HR GREEN PARTNERSHIPS

HR STORM continues to be an active partner with Fat Free Drains (HR FOG), HR CLEAN, and HR WET, the HRPDC’s three other environmental education committees. Combined, these four committees form HR Green. By combining messages, the committees are able to save resources by pooling funding for a larger media impact. Newspapers in Education (NIE) – While the copies of the We All Live on the Water NIE piece have all been distributed, the publication remains popular. HRPDC staff receives several requests each month for the piece and over 5,000 copies were downloaded from HR Green websites. The piece will be reprinted and distributed to fourth grade students in fall 2009.

Mini-Grants – HR Green also offers the region joint programs such as funding through the popular mini-grant program and educational print pieces. With the Mini-Grant Program, schools and youth groups are eligible to receive up to $500 toward environmental projects that meet the goals of HR CLEAN, Fat Free Drains, HR STORM and HR WET. (HR CLEAN offers up to $250 per project.) In FY09, HR Green awarded $3,841 to 13 HR Green Mini-Grant Funds different youth groups working on projects Awarded related to the missions and goals of the 3000 committees. Through participation in the HR 2000 Green Mini-Grant program, nearly 3,000 1000 Hampton Roads youth were reached. HR Dollars 0 STORM awarded funding to multiple spartina 2007 2008 2009 grass planting projects in Chesapeake and a watershed experience trip for English as a Second HR CLEA N HR STORM HR WET Language students in York County. They also funded a portion of the Ghent Goes Green project in Norfolk which incorporated rain barrels, erosion control, and litter removal.

Mini-Grant Email – The HR Green committees wished to increase applications to the mini-grant program. The committees decided to create an e-newsletter style promotional piece. The piece included information on the Mini-Grant program, descriptions of past projects, and links to the application. HRPDC staff e-mailed the document to 113 contacts, including HR Green members. The HR Green members also forwarded the email to their contacts. Since the email was distributed, applications have increased. In July 2009, five applications were received—the equivalent of the combined July submissions for the previous eight years.

HR Green Annual Meeting – Members from all four committees met for an all-day meeting to discuss areas of message crossover and brainstorm ways to work together to improve message reach. The committees decided to purchase reusable bags with the HR Green logo and web address on one side and the four committee logos on the reverse side. The group purchase will reduce the cost of a reusable bag order for all the committees. The reusable bag is particularly relevant to HR STORM as the committee attempts to reduce plastic bags entering the storm drain system.

Media – During the past year, momentum has increased to dovetail the committees’ messages under the umbrella of HR Green. The work of several of the committees is tied to federal and/or state programmatic and regulatory initiatives, making milestones and measures of success an issue of increased importance. Examples of these requirements include the Regional Special Order by Consent with the Department of Environmental Quality, Virginia Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (VPDES) Permits, HB 1177 (372 Acts of Assembly 2004), enacted by the Virginia General Assembly in 2004, water supply planning requirements as well as various existing and proposed laws on littering and recycling. To address these concerns and to further develop the transition to the HR Green brand, the committees of HR Green decided to seek outside media and advertising assistance in creating a joint communication plan. The request for proposals will be brought before the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission Board for consideration in September 2009.

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, HR STORM remains focused on the education of all local citizens, including homeowners and businesses, regarding the importance of clean waterways and responsibilities associated with stormwater pollution prevention. Through multifaceted education programs such as the various fact sheets, the NIE in local schools, Chesapeake Club campaign, education about disposal practices available for lawn and automotive maintenance products, proper disposal practices and local codes associated with pet waste, and awareness of residential BMP maintenance, HR STORM will prevail in getting the critical information to the citizens of Hampton Roads. From the homefront to the waterfront, HR STORM is letting everyone know clean waterways begin with each of us.

INTRODUCTION

Working through the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission, the region’s sixteen member cities and counties cooperated on a variety of stormwater management activities during Fiscal Year 2008-2009. 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. 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. This effort was completed in September 1999. The project included development by the RSMC of a set of regional stormwater management goals to guide the regional program. 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 Establishing the Hampton Roads Regional Stormwater Management Program.” 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, to be funded by the participating member localities for an initial period of up to three years. The program, established in July 1996, 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. Development and refinement of the regional program is a cooperative venture between the HRPDC staff and the Regional Stormwater Management Committee. The Regional Program is evaluated annually by the RSMC.

PHASE I LOCALITIES

The efforts of the Phase I localities this year have centered on negotiating new permit conditions, as well as following the development of changes to the Virginia Stormwater Management Regulations. This intensive rule-making process has involved the work of various state-coordinated Technical Advisory Committees (TACs), in which several committee members and HRPDC staff have participated. In addition, a series of meetings between all of the Hampton Roads Phase I permitted localities, DCR and EPA has been the focus of much work of the committee and staff. Key permit issues have been resolved, while others remain under discussion. It is anticipated that a final draft permit will be promulgated by the end of calendar year 2009.

PHASE II LOCALITIES

In late 1999, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 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, noted potential issues that needed to be considered by the Phase II localities in determining their response to the regulations and suggested alternative approaches by which the region’s localities could meet the new requirements in a collaborative fashion. 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.

The localities that are covered under Phase II of the Permit Program requested that the HRPDC facilitate a joint approach to development of their permit reapplications and stormwater management program plans, where applicable. Through this cooperative effort, the HRPDC developed a regionally consistent stormwater management program in cooperation with the affected localities. Reapplications for permits based on this program were developed and submitted to DCR. Ongoing

activities under the Phase II Permits are addressing program development and implementation in a cooperative fashion.

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 monthly. These monthly 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, VDOT, HRSD and the US Navy regularly participate in these meetings.

The monthly meetings provide a forum for exchange of information and coordination among the permitted communities, while providing educational background and preparation for staff from the non-permitted localities. Several related state programs, including those implementing the Virginia Stormwater Management Act, Erosion and Sediment Control Law, and Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act, as well as the evolving Chesapeake Bay Program water quality studies, including Tributary Strategies and the delisting of the Bay and its Tributaries as “impaired waters,” govern all of the localities. Increasingly, the region’s localities are affected by and involved in the state’s TMDL (Total Maximum Daily Load) Studies and Implementation Plan processes. Issues associated with these programs are also addressed during the monthly meetings.

During FY 2008-2009, representatives of the Regional Stormwater Management Committee participated with representatives of the other HRPDC Environmental Committees, in assisting the HRPDC staff to design 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.

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 representatives of the DCR Division of Chesapeake Bay Local Assistance on various aspects of the CBPA Regulations and associated guidance, by staff from DEQ and the Virginia Marine Resources Commission (VMRC) on state wetlands program requirements, by DEQ staff on the TMDL process and by staff from DCR and DEQ concerning the Chesapeake Bay Program Tributary Strategies’ efforts.

The ongoing activities of both the York River Watershed Council and the Lower James River (Hampton Roads) Watershed Roundtable in support of the Tributary Strategies program and related water quality initiatives were discussed. The Watershed Roundtable approach is Virginia’s preferred approach to nonpoint source pollution management. All members of the RSMC participate in the Roundtables, along with representatives from other local government departments, regional and state agencies, Soil and Water Conservation Districts and private organizations.

A comprehensive stormwater program matrix, including Phase I and Phase II communities, was developed which and addresses both utility and programmatic issues. Staff endeavors to keep this information as up to date as possible.

PUBLIC EDUCATION

HR STORM 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 regional stormwater education program is known as HR STORM. The Public Information and Education Subcommittee (HR STORM) was established during FY 1997-1998 and meets on a monthly basis. The HR STORM Program and its accomplishments for the year are summarized in the HR STORM Program Report for Fiscal Year 2008-2009.

Program funding supports, in part, HRPDC staff members, who also coordinate the region’s water conservation education program (HR WET), the regional litter control and recycling education program (HR CLEAN), the regional wastewater (fats, oil and grease) educational program (HR FOG), as well as other regional environmental education, public information and training programs. The HRPDC staff is facilitating a number of cooperative ventures among these programs, which serve to enhance the effectiveness of all of them. These joint ventures have come to be known as HR Green. In FY 2009-2010, an RFP will be circulated for consultant services in how to more effectively integrate the various educational messages.

TRAINING

Since 2004, the HRPDC staff has worked with the six Phase II communities to develop and conduct training programs for local government staff. These programs are designed to assist the localities in meeting the Good Housekeeping Management Measure. Program topics are reviewed and prioritized annually by the Phase II Subcommittee. The HRPDC staff coordinated the logistical and technical aspects of two regional training seminars on the topic of general pollution prevention for all aspects of government facilities. Over 60 local government staff members received the training and each locality was given a copy of the training module to add to their training library.

Phase II Stormwater Training Topics

Topic Last offered Previous dates Scheduled Fleet Maintenance Mar-05 Landscaping Mar-06 IDDE Feb-08 May-07 Oct-09 General Pollution Prevention Feb-09 Mar-04 Parks & Open Space Mgt.

Note: Training topics are reviewed and prioritized at least twice during the permit cycle. Topics were reviewed and prioritized most recently at the July 2008 Ph II meeting, as documented in the meeting summary kept on file at the HRPDC.

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 past four years. During FY 2008-2009, the regional emphasis was continued participation in the evolving regulatory stormwater program of the Department of Conservation and Recreation, associated guidance and

pending regulations governing local stormwater management programs, permits for construction activities and permit fees.

The HRPDC staff participated on or monitored a variety of state Technical Advisory Committees (TACs) on behalf of localities impacted by various aspects of the Virginia Stormwater Management Program. Most recently, staff was appointed to serve on the state BMP Clearinghouse TAC. This TAC was developed to review protocol for proprietary BMP pollutant removal efficiencies, and is a result of a similar regional effort explored by the HRPDC. State testing and review protocol are currently in development, with recommendations from the TAC requiring approval by the SWCB.

Staff and local governments attended meetings of the Virginia Soil and Water Conservation Board and DCR public hearings to provide comment and hear community input into the regulatory process. The HRPDC Commissioners were provided periodic updates on the process, as developments warranted.

REGIONAL STUDIES

Extreme BMP Makeover

HRPDC staff has assisted the Center for Watershed Protection with the Extreme BMP Makeover Project. The project involves a broad partnership between Virginia DCR, five early adopter communities and project partners with coordination and technical support provided by the Center for Watershed Protection.

The project emphasizes the measurement and tracking of increased nutrient reduction by local communities at the site level through enhanced design of stormwater BMPs. While more accurate nutrient tracking systems will be developed as a central element of the project, conservative initial computations suggest the project has significant nutrient reduction potential.

Bacteria Source Tracking

Preliminary work was developed for a regional bacteria source tracking study. Top researchers will verify tracking protocol for the region to identify whether the bacteria sources are human, wildlife or domesticated animals. This information will enable future efforts to minimize bacteria in area waterways to be more effectively targeted.

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 and other environmental regulations. Comprehensive technical data and information is maintained in the HRPDC library for use by the participating localities as well as the public. In addition, the HRPDC staff provides technical information and advice to all of the participating localities on a wide variety of issues upon request. This past year, the HRPDC staff drafted a stormwater management program for the Town of Windsor. The HRPDC is also frequently requested by localities from other parts of Virginia and adjacent states for assistance due to its experience with stormwater management programs in Hampton Roads.

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 dependency 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 in the preceding section. 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. During this fiscal year, the MOA was reauthorized by the signatories.

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. Based on local needs and anticipated Phase I permit requirements, as well as changes in the state stormwater management regulations, the region has 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 will assist localities in capturing inspections 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. Future modules will be developed as more details of the state regulations and Phase I permits are finalized. It is anticipated that this system will serve as a model for statewide compliance.

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, the HRPDC staff has actively participated, on behalf of the localities, in a number of CBP initiatives. 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.

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. Through the HRPDC Chesapeake Bay Committee, which also involves the region’s non-permitted communities, staff members responsible for implementation of that program share information on successful program activities. These efforts are closely coordinated with the Regional Stormwater Management Committee. Routinely, the two Committees, meet jointly to address technical and regulatory issues of common concern.

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. Much of this effort was directed by legislation enacted by the Virginia General Assembly in 2003. Through the HRPDC Directors of Utilities Committee, the HRPDC and sixteen localities were heavily involved in these efforts. The HRPDC, as recommended by the Committee, adopted a formal position in support of the water supply planning regulations as finally proposed. These Regulations, governing local and regional water supply planning, became effective in late 2005. The region was also heavily involved in the effort beginning in FY 2003-2004 to develop modifications to the Virginia Water Protection Permit Regulations as they apply to water supply projects. Those regulations became final in early 2006.

Beginning in late Fall 2005, the HRPDC Directors of Utilities Committee began discussions on possible approaches to meeting the planning requirements in a cooperative, regional fashion. With a small grant from DEQ, the HRPDC staff and Utilities Committee have developed a framework for accomplishing development of a regional water supply and educational materials on the state planning requirements. Work continues on the regional water supply plan, with anticipated completion by 2011.

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 other localities in participating in TMDL studies for approximately twenty watersheds. To assist the region’s localities in addressing this requirement and ensuring that Implementation Plans are consistent with the ability of the localities to implement the recommendations, 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 initiative became increasingly important during FY 2008-2009, as TMDLs will have significant impacts on stormwater permits.

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). This system is considered to be a model and 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 is 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 by 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. This characteristic of the regional programs facilitated efforts, which began during FY 2002-2003, by representatives of the RSMC, Directors of Utilities and Hampton Roads Chesapeake Bay Committees and the regional wastewater and solid waste management agencies to address a number of environmental funding and regulatory issues of common interest. 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.
