Provide information on UVA EHS website about on grounds HW disposal. Provide a link on RSEP website to the RSWA website that contains details on household HW collection. Provide information on UVA Website, public outreach events, and in publications to inform staff and students about benefits of recycling, proper trash management and effects of littering. Through RSEP, local entities collaborated to identify the 3 high priority water quality issues that are of greatest concern to the local community. In addition to participation in RSEP campaigns, UVA has identified priorities specific to the University student population. RSEP will meet at least 6 times per year and maintain a website with information about stormwater pollution prevention and management. RSEP will continue to provide general education to the public through brochures, ads, etc. Whenever possible, illegal discharge-related messages will be incorporated into greater outreach campaigns. Cost and resource sharing allows RSEP members to participate in a more effective and robust approach to public outreach and education. Information is provided at least annually during student and staff training sessions. Hazardous materials and wastes are properly disposed of reducing their likelihood of polluting the environment. Information to be provided at least annually in the Facilities Management Operations Annual Report. UVA aims to meet or exceed State mandates for recycling disposable materials and reduce the amount of disposable materials transported to a landfill. Increased awareness on waste and waste reduction efforts amongst members of the University community. UVA's Stormwater Outreach Plan (Appendix A) provides specifics on identified high priority water quality issues, rationale for choosing the issues, population size, and plans for messaging. Increased community awareness on high priority stormwater issues. Yes Yes Yes Yes FM, RSEP EHS, RSEP FM FM, RSEP RSEP met 8 times during the reporting period. RSEP's website can be found at The website provides information on and copies of RSEP general education and outreach campaigns. EHS' website contains information regarding proper disposal of HW at UVa: In addition, staff who generate or are in areas who could generate chemical or radioactive waste are required to take training regarding proper handling and disposal of chemicals and waste. The training is available online through EHS and 4,868 students, faculty, and staff received the training during the reporting period. Information about recycling can be found on the UVA Recycling page ( recycling/index.html). Recycling totals are provided each year in the FM Operations Annual Report available at s/index.html. In FY2015, Achieved a recycling rate of 31.5% of the municipal solid waste stream and a diversion rate of 54.2% when non-msw materials such as tires, lamps, ash, electronics, batteries and oil, which get recycled or reused are included in the total recycling numbers. The three high priority water quality issues identified by RSEP are bacteria, sediment, and nutrients. In addition, UVA's Stormwater Task Force has identified litter, paint, and general stormwater pollution as specific issues of concern at UVA. Page 1 of 26

Yes FM UVA's Geospatial Engineering Services department maintains accurate maps of the UVA storm sewer system. The maps are updated as changes are made to ensure the most up to date information is available. During the previous reporting period, UVA's outfall inspection program was improved as a results of an EPA/DEQ audit of the program in June UVA's outfall maps have been updated to align with the intent of the MS4 permit. That is, only locations where outfalls discharge into a stream or leave UVA property are considered outfalls for the purpose of MS4 inspections. Previously any outfall that discharged anywhere on UVA property was considered an outfall. 3.c - Prohibition of Nonstormwater Discharges 3.c.1. Prohibit nonstormwater flows through proper training and operating procedures Create standard operating procedures for activities that have the potential to cause stormwater contamination. SOPs are being created in conjunction with the creation of SWPPPs. Continue with current program. Provides standard operating procedures for UVA Staff. Yes FM SOPs have been developed for activities with the potential to cause stormwater contamination, such as exterior surface washing, equipment washing, and other general activities that apply to a wide variety of areas. Personnel whose jobs involve activities that have the potential to cause discharges to stormwater receive training according to the MS4 Training Plan. A link to the website with SOPs is noted in section 6.a.1. UVA continues to replace worn and missing storm drain labels from areas of concern as well as adding labels to additional areas of grounds that have not yet been covered. Often students are utilized for this task. Many storm drain inlets from new projects have labeling stamped into the storm drain itself, which reduces the need for labels in these areas. 3.d - Procedures to Prevent, Detect, and Address Illicit Discharges 3.d.1 - Stormwater Stenciling Program Continue program using staff and volunteers to label stormwater catch basins and inlets. Continue current program to label drains and maintain labeling on previously marked drains. Educate students, staff, and visitors on drainage system and reduce potential illicit discharges.

A US EPA required SPCC Plan is in place at UVA covering all petroleum storage Notify the City of Charlottesville of locations where UVA's MS4 is physically interconnected to their MS4. Continue with current spill response program. Respond to spills in the shortest amount of time possible. Number of inspections carried out is tracked. Data on spills are reported. Reduction in releases from petroleum facilities. Provide information to the City, in writing, before the first year of the permit cycle is complete. Provide additional updates as necessary if new connections are created. Compliance with current regulations. Yes Yes Yes EHS, FM FM, P&T, and EHS FM UVA has an SPCC Plan which provides specific details for spill response. In addition, UVA has developed a spill response SOP for handling non-petroleum based spills. EHS staff are trained in spill response and spill response training is incorporated in FM training for operations staff as well. Staff are trained on how to prevent spills, confine spills that occur, and are informed on the numbers to call to summon a spill response team to the scene. There were no reportable petroleum based spills during the reporting period. Under UVA's current SPCC plan, 123 petroleum tanks are inspected monthly. All petroleum containing drums of 55 gallons or more are also inspected. Petroleum containing transformers are inspected twice a year, and UVA currently has 170 transformers which require inspection under the SPCC plan. An additional 48 transformers are also inspected, though inspections are not required by the SPCC plan. At the start of the permit cycle, correspondence was sent to the Water Resources Specialist at the City of Charlottesville to notify them of physical interconnections between UVA and the City's MS4. UVA also received correspondence from the City and VDOT indicating their connection to UVA. All of the above listed BMPs were evaluated to meet the new MS4 program requirements and are evaluated at least annually for appropriateness as part of the annual reporting process. Unless specifically noted in the "Annual Objectives Achieved" column, no changes to BMPs or measurable goals were made during the reporting period because no deficiencies were identified. All planned changes in BMPs or measureable goals, if any, are noted in the Annual Objectives column.

11 University of Virginia - MS4 Program Plan - VAR Minimum Control Measure No. 4: Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control BMP CATEGORY PROPOSED BMP PROGRAM MEASURABLE GOAL ANTICIPATED ACHIEVEMENT Current Programs in Place RESPONSIBLE DEPARTMENT Annual Objectives Achieved 4.a - Erosion & Sediment (E&S) Control Program 4.a.1 - UVA operates under Annual Standards and Specifications for E&SC in compliance with the Virginia E&SC Law and Regulations. UVA Annual Standards and Specifications for E&SC apply to all plan design, construction and maintenance activities undertaken by UVA, either by its internal workforce or contracted to external entities, where such activities are regulated by the Virginia E&SC Law. Information detailing UVA's entire compliance and enforcement program for E&SC can be found in the plan. Currently UVA is required to prepare E&SC Plans for all land disturbances over 10,000 sf in Albemarle County and 6,000 sf in the City. UVA requires E&SC controls to be installed on all land disturbing projects, even if a formal E&SC plan is not required. The Virginia E&SC Handbook is used as the standard for E&SC elements in site plan design. The UVA Annual Standards & Specifications for E&SC include procedures for plan review, inspections, and compliance enforcement. Continue to work with the DEQ to maintain compliance with E&SC Law and Regulations. Provide UVA project managers with clear guidance on E&SC and construction general permit requirements. Annually update UVA's Annual Standards and Specifications for E&SC as required to maintain compliance with program. The most recent copy of the Standards and Specifications can be found here: u/depts/operations/envir onmental/erosion.html. Compliance with current regulations Yes FM E&SC guidance is detailed in several key design documents which are given to project managers, architects, and engineers. Per UVA's Annual Standards and Specifications for E&SC, all E&SC plans are reviewed by the Thomas Jefferson Soil and Water Conservation District (TJSWCD) for approval before project construction begins. The Office of the University Building Official will not issue a building permit without confirmation that E&SC Plan approval is obtained, where applicable. 4.a.2 - Construction General Permits (CGPs) Land disturbances over 1 acre require a General VPDES Permit for Discharges of Stormwater from Construction Activities (CGP), which requires a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). Continue current program to manage stormwater runoff from construction activities according to VSMP requirements. UVA has developed a SWPPP template for construction sites for contractors to use. Stormwater from construction activities is managed appropriately according to VSMP requirements. Yes FM UVA ensures that all sites over 1 acre obtain a CGP from DEQ before construction commences. As a State agency, UVA relied on DEQ to manage the CGP portion of the stormwater regulations from for the first year of this MS4 permit cycle. Starting July 1, 2014 UVA has taken over the Stormwater Management portion of the program from DEQ and has begun conducting its own CGP inspections. UVA has already been managing the E&SC portion of the program for several years. During the reporting period 9 sites at UVA required a CGP. Construction sites with CGP's that started activity during the reporting period utilized the UVA SWPPP template. 4.b. - E&SC Plan Approval 4.b.1 - Required plan approval prior to commencement of land disturbing activity. UVA requires that E&SC plans be approved by a certified plan reviewer prior to the commencement of land disturbing activities. Currently UVA has an MOU with the TJSWCD to conduct plan review, but UVA also retains authority to perform the reviews. A staff person has been designated as a single point of contact for E&SC and SWM Plan review logistics at UVA. UVA construction site contractors obtain CGPs. UVA has an MOU with the TJSWCD for plan review, which is available upon request. Consistency in site plan design review process as it relates to erosion and sediment control. Yes FM The Administrator for UVA's E&SC Program has become a certified combined administrator for both E&SC and SWM. The TJSWCD is still reviewing plans for UVA projects and plans must be approved before land disturbing takes place. During the reporting period, seven E&SC Plans were reviewed by TJSWCD.

12 Minimum Control Measure No. 4: Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control BMP CATEGORY PROPOSED BMP PROGRAM MEASURABLE GOAL ANTICIPATED ACHIEVEMENT Current Programs in Place RESPONSIBLE DEPARTMENT Annual Objectives Achieved 4.c - Construction Site Inspections for Compliance and Enforcement 4.c.1 - Inspection of land disturbing activities. On July 1, 2009, UVA became responsible for their own E&SC Program. The UVA Annual Standards and Specifications for E&SC are approved annually by the DEQ and outline how UVa's E&SC program will operate. One UVA staff member is a certified E&SC combined administrator and two staff are certified E&SC Inspectors through the DEQ training program. UVA inspectors conduct E&SC inspections for applicable land disturbing activities: 1)upon initial installation 2) at least once within every 2 week period 3) within 48 yours of a runoffproducing storm event 4) upon completion of the project. In addition UVA staff attempt to join DEQ staff on their inspections whenever they visit UVA construction sites. Continue with current program of inspections, which has been reviewed for compliance with the new MS4 program requirements and was found to meet the requirements. Provide number of inspections conducted during the reporting period along with the annual report. Timely inspections can identify problems sooner so they can be corrected, thus reducing E&SC related problems. Yes FM One UVA staff member is a certified E&SC combined administrator and two staff are certified E&SC Inspectors through the DEQ training program. A fourth staff member has received E&SC Inspector and E&SC Plan Reviewer training. UVA E&SC inspectors conduct inspections of all UVA construction sites to ensure adherence to E&SC Plans and ensure E&S controls are properly maintained. UVa has been following these guidelines during the reporting period and conducted 340 E&SC inspections at 19 project sites. 4.c.2 Enforcement actions DEQ has retained enforcement authority for UVA's E&SC program. UVA will escalate any incidents requiring enforcement to DEQ as described in the Annual Standards and Specifications. Continue to escalate any incidents requiring enforcement action to DEQ. Compliance with E&SC plan and minimum standards. Yes FM UVA did not have any enforcement actions during the reporting period. Since UVA staff are conducting E&SC inspections on projects managed by UVA and on UVA property, E&SC staff can utilize existing internal channels to ensure problems are addressed before they need to be escalated. The internal communication as well as emphasizing the importance of adherence to E&SC regulations to the contractors at the start of the project has allowed UVA to address and resolve problems quickly before enforcement action is necessary. 4.d - Public Comment 4.d.1 - Provide opportunity for public comment Opportunity for public Continue to provide comment is provided mechanisms for public on the FM comment and use Environmental comments to improve Resources webpage. the E&SC program. In addition, all sites Track public comments with a CGP are received and include required to post contact comments in the annual information and a report. Members of the phone number at their public are able to main gate, which provide comment or provides an additional complain about projects point of contact for the as needed. public and may receive comments directly. Construction sites not subject to CGPs are provided signage to post on their gates providing contact information for FM Environmental Resources. Yes FM UVA continues to utilize the FM Environmental Resources webpage, phone numbers posted with the CGP, and signage on gates with project contact information to receive public comments about construction site stormwater runoff controls. Calls placed directly to sites with a CGP are not handled through UVA FM. During the reporting period, UVA FM responded to a variety of reports from internal sources as described in 2.a.3.

As of July 1, 2014, UVA began managing its own SWM program as outlined in the UVA Annual Standards and Specifications for SWM. Previously, SWM Plan reviews were conducted by DEQ. Currently UVA outsources SWM Plan review to the Thomas Jefferson Soil and Water Conservation District (TJSWCD). During the reporting period, four SWM Plans were reviewed by TJSWCD. Several smaller retrofit projects that did not require official SWM Plan review were reviewed internally by UVA's SWM Combined Administrator. Both the Landscape division and the Utility Systems Distribution (USD) division perform routine preventative maintenance on all stormwater controls. Preventative maintenance includes removing, as necessary, sediment and debris. In addition, BMPs undergo more extensive maintenance when necessary. For example, 10 tons of sediment were removed from BMPs at the South Lawn. The bypass for the Dell was also dredged in October 2015 and approximately 30 cubic yards of material was removed. Most BMPs are inspected monthly with more extensive inspections conducted semi-annually. Work orders are sent out for each inspection and copies of inspection records are maintained. Sites are inspected, at minimum, while conducting routine preventative maintenance and inspections as described in 5.b.1. Most BMPs are inspected monthly with more extensive inspections conducted semi-annually. Maintenance and cleaning of the storm drain intake system and storm basins takes place as part of the O&M Program mentioned in 5.b.1 and described in 6.a.2.

19 Appendix A Stormwater Outreach Plan

20 MCM1 Public Education and Outreach Draft Public Education and Outreach Program 1. Background - Coordinating efforts amongst local MS4 operators Educating, reaching out to, and involving the public in stormwater issues is accomplished primarily through participation in the Rivanna Regional Stormwater Education Partnership (RRSEP). The RRSEP is a collaborative effort among local public entities in the City of Charlottesville and the surrounding County of Albemarle that hold small MS4 permits under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System program. The RRSEP is dedicated to helping its members achieve the MS4 permit requirements related to education, outreach, and public participation in stormwater management. The MS4 permit holders that comprise the RRSEP are Albemarle County, the City of Charlottesville, Piedmont Virginia Community College, the University of Virginia, and the Virginia Department of Transportation. Other members of RRSEP are Albemarle County Public Schools, the Albemarle County Service Authority, and the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority. The Thomas Jefferson Soil and Water Conservation District (TJSWCD) provides support to the RRSEP and serves as its coordinating body. Founded in March 2003, the RRSEP meets a minimum of six times a year to plan and implement stormwater education initiatives and share information about each partner s stormwater programs. Education initiatives are undertaken by the RRSEP to help make citizens aware of stormwater issues, while also equipping them with practical knowledge and actions to help improve local water quality. RRSEP utilizes a multi-faceted approach to educate and provide outreach across targeted urban areas (Figure 1). Campaign materials, including print ads, movie theatre ads, posters on public transit buses, magnets, radio spots, and utility bill inserts are written in simple, easy to understand language and often utilize cartoons to help the message come across to all generations and all education levels. RRSEP also provides some campaigns in Spanish. Education and outreach materials are available at Each partner pays an annual membership fee to help fund RRSEP projects. In addition, the RRSEP has successfully applied for and partnered on grants to supplement education efforts. The RRSEP has produced effective and far-reaching education programs that have benefited from the variety of expertise and resources each partner offers. Planning and implementing education initiatives through the RRSEP has resulted in Rivanna River watershed-focused projects and has avoided the overexposure and redundancy that might result if each partner were carrying out projects on their own. 2. Identification of high-priority water quality issues; identification and estimation of population size of target audiences; relevant messages and associated materials for message distribution RRSEP held several meetings to discuss and determine the high priority water quality issues for the region, which will be the focus of their education and outreach campaigns for the current MS4 permit cycle. Local and regional water quality impairments were the primary criteria used to determine the issues. The three high priority water quality issues identified by RRSEP are bacteria, sediment, and MCM#1 Outreach & Education MS4 Program Plan ( ) DRAFT 04/15/14 Page 1

21 nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus). Through campaigns conducted over the course of the MS4 permit cycle, target audiences will have multiple opportunities to learn about the high-priority water quality issues of the region in several different ways. The reasoning behind choosing each of these issues and the proposed campaigns to target each issue are further described below. MCM#1 Outreach & Education MS4 Program Plan ( ) DRAFT 04/15/14 Page 2

23 a. Bacteria Over a quarter (26%) of streams assessed within the targeted urban areas are considered impaired by excessive amounts of bacteria 1. Bacteria impairments in these streams can be caused by urban stormwater, pet waste, leaking sewer pipes, wildlife excrement, and agricultural uses. However, due to the very urban nature of the MS4 jurisdiction, RRSEP will focus outreach and education efforts towards dog owners to reduce the impacts of pet waste. RRSEP acquired the database of dog licenses for the City of Charlottesville and Albemarle County to estimate the number of pet owners in the targeted urban areas. RRSEP estimates there are approximately 4,000 dog owners within the targeted urban areas and outreach and education activities are designed to reach 20 percent of this target audience (800). Dog owners are most likely to have significant impact on the reduction of pet waste from entering local waterways. Fecal coliform from the intestinal tract of dogs has the opportunity to enter waterways as it combines with stormwater runoff. VA DEQ and StreamWatch both test the waters for bacteria as identified through E. coli. The Bacteria TMDL Development for the Rivanna River Mainstem, North Fork Rivanna River, Preddy Creek and Tributaries, Meadow Creek, Mechums River, and Beaver Creek Watersheds submitted to VDEQ (2008) requires reductions in E. coli from urban stormwater runoff. The illicit discharge and elimination (IDDE) programs run by the various MS4 permit holders will also help to identify and eliminate possible sewage leaks caused by failing cross connections. IDDE outreach and education efforts provided by RRSEP have warned against storm drain dumping and encouraged use of the RRSEP Water Pollution Hot Line to report suspected illegal discharges. Albemarle County, which has the greater number of properties not served by a public sewer system, specifically developed a targeted message to persons with septic systems, encouraging them to pump out their system every five years as recommended by the Virginia Department of Health. Relevant messages on bacteria-related outreach and education items within the community are: Media Employed (Time Frame) Charlottesville Area Transit Bus Ad (March, April, May) C-ville Weekly print ad (1 week during March) Utility Bill Mailing Insert (April) Extent of Message Distribution 622,354 individual bus trips taken 20,000 papers distributed per week 42,000 bills distributed Relevant Message Pick up after your pet.

Do your part to keep our streams clean and healthy. Visit Rivannastormwater.org. Sediment enters our waterways as stormwater rushes across impervious surfaces such as roads, parking lots, and driveways and pervious surfaces such as lawns. High volumes and velocities of stormwater runoff cause excessive land and stream bank erosion. Implementation of best management practices (BMPs) by homeowners helps to reduce the runoff volume and velocity, and contribute to healthier streams. RRSEP intends to provide education and outreach to 20 percent of the estimated 38,500 households 2 (7,700) within the targeted urban areas to encourage BMP implementation. Of the stream miles assessed within the targeted urban areas, almost 30% have an impaired benthic macroinvertebrate community, as a result of too much sediment in our waterways 3. The Final Report of the Benthic TMDL Development for the Rivanna River Watershed submitted to VA DEQ (2008) identifies an existing sediment load from land-based and in-stream erosion from the MS4 point source. The allocated load to the MS4 permit holders requires an aggregated 59.3% reduction in sediment from this source to achieve the TMDL. Non-point sources, other general permits outside the MS4 area, other point sources, and a margin of safety also are allocated loads through the TMDL process. The TJSWCD (of which Albemarle County and Charlottesville are members) partnered with the Culpeper, Hanover-Caroline, and Piedmont SWCDs to promote a pilot project for non-agricultural landowners to engage in stormwater management activities through a voluntary cost share program called the Virginia Conservation Assistance Program (VCAP). The partnership was established under the Virginia Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts Urban Committee. This innovative pilot project received a total of $75,680 in grant funds through the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, Virginia Environmental Endowment, and Chesapeake Bay Restoration Fund, and from a private donor for the 2 U.S. Census 2010 for Virginia based on an average household size of 2.54 people. 3 Final (b)/303(d) Water Quality Assessment Integrated Report, VA DEQ, 2014 MCM#1 Outreach & Education MS4 Program Plan ( ) DRAFT 04/15/14 Page 5

Adjusting target audience and messages to address any observed weaknesses or shortcomings As necessary, RRSEP will adjust target audiences and messages to address any observed weaknesses or shortcomings in the public education and outreach program. Additional educational materials have already been developed and are available for use by the RRSEP in future years. For example, RRSEP has utilized radio ads and targeted mailings in past years to provide outreach and education to pet owners within a specific bacteria-impaired watershed, Moores Creek. RRSEP has distributed flyers to veterinarian s offices and pet stores throughout the area. Additionally, the RRSEP will purchase the advertisement video created for the Regal Cinemas movie theater to be used on Charlottesville s public access channel, websites, and made available on YouTube. A short stormwater public service announcement may be created by RRSEP to reach target audiences in the future. MCM#1 Outreach & Education MS4 Program Plan ( ) DRAFT 04/15/14 Page 8

28 UVA Addendum to 5-yr MS4 Education and Outreach Plan University of Virginia Initiatives: 1. Background The purpose of this addendum is to address education and outreach programs specifically targeted the University of Virginia (UVA) community. Educational programs and outreach events are primarily conducted by the University s Environmental Resources as well as the Stormwater task force. Environmental Resources (ER) within the UVA Facilities Management provides a number of university-wide services including pollution prevention, erosion and sediment control, greenhouse gas monitoring, and stormwater management. ER is responsible for coordination and oversight of all environmental regulatory requirements at UVA. The Stormwater task force (SWTF) is a student-led task force that collaborates with ER. The students are given the opportunity and resources to investigate and recommend stormwater practices to reduce UVA s impacts on local streams and ultimately the Chesapeake Bay. To encourage and promote community involvement, both ER and SWTF engaged in outreach and education directed toward UVA students, staff and faculty. 2. High Priority Water Quality Issues Similar the RRSEP s campaign, ER and SWTF focused education and outreach campaigns to help improve local and regional water quality. Although bacteria, sediment, and nutrients are local high priority water quality issues, ER and SWTF designed campaigns to specifically address observed issues that UVA community could directly participate and improve upon. Three main water quality issues at UVA are litter, paint and stormwater pollution. a. Litter Litter enters waterways through storm drains where it washes directly into local streams. Educating the public on the impact of litter and proper trash disposal helps contribute to healthier streams. Due to the high amount of cigarette butt litter observed, posters and ads were created specifically to target cigarette litter. The SWTF focused outreach and educational efforts toward University students, faculty and staff.

Paint Around Beta Bridge, paint and painting tools are frequently left behind or thrown on the ground carelessly where they can be washed away by stormwater and pollute local streams. The task force focused outreach and education efforts toward University students who paint the bridge, including CIOs, Greek societies, and sports clubs. The target audience was the 16,087 undergraduate students. The assumption was made that the majority of undergraduate students would paint the bridge at least once in their undergraduate term. Through bus advertisement, # riders were potentially exposed to the ads, assuming all the bus riders looked at the ads. The SWTF partnered up with UVA Sustainability and Parking and Transportation to educate UVA students on responsible practices for painting Beta Bridge Programs/Campaigns (Time Frame) University Transit Service Bus Ad (April) Extent of Message Distribution 235,188 bus riders between April 1- April 22, 2014 Relevant Message Paint Beta Bridge responsibly.

Stormwater Pollution ER and SWTF attend events to educate students and the Charlottesville community about general stormwater pollution prevention. General stormwater pollution prevention topics include, but are not limited to bacteria, sediment, nutrients, litter and other causes of stormwater pollution. Topics covered often mirror efforts underway through RRSEP, but are brought to UVA to specifically target the UVA population. Stream cleanups and maintenance are also organized to improve the health of local streams.

Adjusting to any weaknesses or shortcomings In order to improve message distribution, the SWTF will develop additional outreach and educational material. For example, an informational brochure may be distributed in first day packets to first year students. Posters and bus ad messages can be reused for flyers and

31 table tent advertisements. A presentation on stormwater education can be given to UVA s global sustainability class and other classes interested in sustainability. Additionally, the SWTF will also implement more educational programs and activities to increase public participation. For example, a scavenger hunt could be designed for university students to locate storm drains, local streams, stormwater pollution areas and best management practices around Grounds. Previous campaigns will be reviewed and new ideas for campaigns will be considered at the start of the fall semester each year when the SWTF re-convenes with new membership.

52 Background The University of Virginia (UVA) is composed of approximately 1,100 acres and is located within the borders of both the City of Charlottesville and Albemarle County. The University is also situated in the headwaters of the Meadow Creek and Moores Creek watersheds which drain to the Rivanna River on the eastern boundary of the City of Charlottesville. The Rivanna River flows to the James River, and ultimately discharges to the lower Chesapeake Bay. As a predominately urbanized state entity, the University is classified as a Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) and is mandated to the follow the regulations of the Environmental Protection Agency as outlined in the Clean Water Act, the Virginia Stormwater Act and the MS4 General Permit granted by the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). The MS4 service area consists of 782 acres. In compliance with Section I.C of the General Permit for Discharges of Stormwater from Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (Permit No.: VAR040073), and the Special Condition described therein, the University of Virginia, an MS4 Operator, has developed a Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Action Plan. The TMDL for the Chesapeake Bay sets limits on the amount of pollutants of concern (POCs), including total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorous (TP) and total suspended solids (TSS), that can be discharged to the Bay without detrimentally impacting water quality. The MS4 Permit Special Condition for the Chesapeake Bay TMDL requires all MS4 operators to reduce existing levels of these POCs to a level that will be protective of Bay water quality. This process typically requires that the MS4 operator install best management practices (BMPs) that will, through various means, lower the contaminant levels in or erosive velocities of stormwater discharged to local streams and water bodies. The Virginia Phase II Watershed Implementation Plan, in regards to the Chesapeake Bay, dictates compliance under the TMDL and requires applicable MS4 operators or permit holders to meet 5.0% of the Level 2 scoping run reductions (to reduce the POCs in urban areas) by the end of the first permit cycle ( ). The permit also indicates that permit holders will be required to reduce the POCs an additional 35% for the second permit cycle and the final 60% of the Level 2 scoping run reductions in the third permit cycle. This TMDL action plan has been prepared in accordance with the Virginia General Permit and the DEQ s TMDL Guidance Memo No , dated May 18,

53 1. Current Program and Existing Legal Authority (General Permit Section I.C.2.a.(1)) The University of Virginia owns, operates and maintains its own small MS4. The entirety of UVA s MS4 is located on UVA owned property. The Facilities Management Department at the University has developed a comprehensive stormwater program and is responsible for enforcement and compliance with the standards of the Clean Water Act under the General Permit for Discharges of Stormwater from Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems. The requirements stipulated in the University s Annual Standards & Specifications for Stormwater Management and Erosion and Sediment Control (SWM/E&SC) along with their MS4 program plan provide the authority to enforce the Special Condition of the Chesapeake Bay TMDL. In addition, Facilities Management applies a stormwater utility fee to all supported departments, the medical center, and auxiliary entities in order to establish a renewable funding source to maintain the stormwater program. All projects on UVA property involving land-disturbing activity subject to Virginia SWM/E&SC Laws and Regulations are bound by the UVA Annual Standards and Specifications for SWM/E&SC. UVA s Annual Standards and Specifications (AS&S) has been developed to ensure that all land-disturbing activities undertaken by UVA will proceed in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations as related to municipal separate storm sewer systems and construction activities. UVA s AS&S for SWM/E&SC are approved by DEQ and are composed of general specifications. The general specifications that apply to the land-disturbing activities include the following: 1. Virginia Stormwater Management Act ( :24-50) 2. Virginia Stormwater Management Program (VSMP) Regulations (9VAC25-870) 3. General Permit for Discharges of Stormwater from Construction Activities (9VAC25-880) 4. General Permit for Discharges of Stormwater from Small MS4s (9VAC25-890) 5. Virginia Stormwater BMP Clearinghouse ( 6. Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Law ( :51-66) 7. Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Regulations (9VAC25-840) 8. Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Certification Regulations (9VAC25-850) 9. Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook, E&SC Technical Bulletins, as amended ( px) 2

54 Additionally, in order for the University to discharge its stormwater into state surface waters, the University is required to have a General Permit for Discharges of Stormwater from Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4). The MS4 permit requires the University to implement pollution control measures addressing the following six program areas in order to minimize the amount of pollution entering state waterways: 1. Public Education and Outreach 2. Public Involvement/Participation 3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination 4. Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control 5. Post-Construction Stormwater Management 6. Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping Refer to for the current MS4 Program Plan. UVA has also recently completed a Stormwater Master Plan which reviews the existing regulatory requirements that will shape University strategy for implementation and compliance in the future. This Master Plan addressed the TMDL compliance issues within each cycle of the General Permit and outlined planning considerations and potential projects for various situations and the associated pollutant removal methods. Some of these potential projects are further described in Section New or Modified Legal Authority (General Permit Section I.C.2.a.(2)) The legal authorities noted in Section 1 are adequate for the University to adhere to the Special Condition for the Chesapeake Bay TMDL; therefore, no new legal authorities are needed. Although no official contracts have been drafted, the University may coordinate with the City of Charlottesville and Albemarle County to draft a memorandum of understanding in order to meet the Special Condition as planning and requirements evolve. 3. Means and Methods to Address Discharges from New Sources (General Permit Section I.C.2.a.(3)) All projects at the University involving land-disturbing activity subject to Virginia Stormwater Management (SWM) and Erosion and Sediment and Control (E&SC) Laws and Regulations shall be bound by the DEQ-approved UVA Annual Standards and Specifications for SWM/E&SC. Additionally, they shall follow the guidelines of the Energy & Utilities Master Plan Stormwater section or appropriate watershed master plan for Meadow Creek or Moore s Creek. The University ensures that projects are located, designed, and constructed to protect the water quality and living resources of local streams, rivers and the Chesapeake Bay. The University is in 3

55 a unique position in that it oversees all development on its property and can regulate projects accordingly. Site-specific SWM plans shall be prepared for all projects involving a regulated land-disturbing activity that requires: 1. A Virginia Stormwater Management Program (VSMP) General Permit for Discharges of Stormwater from Construction Activities; 2. Land-disturbing activity within a watershed of a regional water quality SWM facility; or 3. Incorporates the use of LID practices and/or a constructed BMP; or 4. Land-disturbing activity exceeding 6,000 square feet within the City of Charlottesville s portion of campus, to the maximum extent practical. Projects are encouraged to oversize BMPs to help address the TMDL requirements or to build up a bank of credits to be used on future projects. Continued long term maintenance on all installed BMPs is performed by the Facilities Management Department. Specific procedures for maintaining these stormwater management facilities have been developed as part of the MS4 program noted in Section Estimated Existing Source Loads and Calculated Total Pollutant of Concern Required Reductions (General Permit Section I.C.2.a.(5)) In order to calculate the total POC loads and required reductions from existing sources as of June , the University first delineated all of the impervious and pervious areas within the MS4 watershed service area. Figure 1 (attached as Appendix A) shows the regulated University lands and their designations as pervious and impervious. These areas were determined using UVA Geographic Information System data. Regulated impervious and pervious areas were determined in the following manner: 1. A 2009 UVA parcel data was generated by creating a layer with the 2009 parcels within the 2000 Urbanized area layers. a Parcel data based on City of Charlottesville and Albemarle County Tax Parcel GIS Data. b urbanized area boundary source: U.S. Census website ( 2. A layer for exemptions from the regulated urban land cover data set was created. This layer has two categories: Industrial & Forested. a. The Parking & Transportation facility parcel is exempt.

56 b. The forested areas marked as exempt were created from aerial imagery. Areas identified as forested are no less than 900 m 2 contiguous and are undeveloped. Source: Esri, DigitalGlobe, GeoEye, i-cubed, USDA, USGS, AEX, Getmapping, Aerogrid, IGN, IGP, swisstopo, and the GIS User Community, 1:4, Another layer was created for impervious data using impervious layers from a 2009 GIS dataset that identifies UVA buildings, parking areas, roads, sidewalks and other hardscape features. 4. The 2009 MS4 area was created by clipping the exemptions layer (step 2) from the 2009 parcels layer (step 1). 5. UVA s regulated urban impervious and pervious areas were derived by overlaying the impervious layer (step 3) and the 2009 MS4 layer (step 4). 6. The University shares jurisdictional boundaries with three other MS4 permittees; the County of Albemarle (County), the City of Charlottesville (City) and the Department of Transportation (VDOT). To address slight differences between digital maps, the County, University, and the City have agreed to use the City s jurisdictional boundary as a common delineation between the permittees regulated areas. Each permittee has agreed to take responsibility for the POC loads generated within their regulated area boundary regardless of sheet flow draining to or from another jurisdiction. POC reduction credit for BMPs installed on any lands with inter-jurisdictional sheet flow will be received by the permittee that installs and maintains the BMP. The University agreed to include within its regulated area, all lands solely owned and operated by the University that lie within the jurisdictional extent of the County and the City. Correspondingly, the County and the City have agreed to include within their respective regulated areas, lands which they solely own and operate; as such, these lands were excluded from the University s regulated area. GIS files were shared between the County, the City, and UVA to ensure all lands were included in the TMDL process. Virginia s Phase II Watershed Implementation Plan defines the Level 2 scoping and POC reductions for the Chesapeake Bay. As noted in the DEQ Guidance Memo No , Level 2 implementation equates to an average reduction [from existing sources] of 9.0% of nitrogen loads, 16% of phosphorus loads, and 20% of sediment loads from impervious regulated acres and 6.0% of nitrogen loads, 7.25% of phosphorus loads and 8.75% sediment loads from pervious regulated acres. For the first permit cycle ( ) the Phase II MS4 permit requires each MS4 to achieve 5% of the POC reductions required. Tables 1 and 2 below provide a summary of the University land that is subject to the MS4 permit and the determination of Chesapeake Bay TMDL loading and reduction requirements. All of the watersheds within the University s service area drain to the James River; therefore Table 2a and Table 3a in the MS4 Permit were used in these calculations. This submittal 5

57 incorporated the 5% POC required reduction values that were revised for Table 3a found on page 7 of the Guidance Memo.

58 5. Means and Methods to Meet the Required Reductions and Schedule (General Permit Section I.C.2.a.(6)) The University has achieved and exceeded the 5% POC reductions for the first permit cycle outlined in the Special Condition. These reductions were achieved as a result of implementing structural BMPs and installing rainwater harvesting practices since 2009, completing stream restoration projects since 2006, and accounting for historical BMPs installed and maintained on projects since 2006 and before July 1, 2009 (See Table 4 below). These reductions have been verified using the calculation methods defined in the Guidance Memo and the established efficiencies therein. Appendices B through F provide a listing of these BMPs and the associated methodologies. Pollutant reduction credits achieved in this permit cycle that exceed the 5% requirement of the first permit cycle will be applied against future permit submittals. Structural BMPs Installed Since 2009 POC credits for BMPs that have been installed on sites less than one acre since 2009 were calculated using the Guidance Memo (Example V.B.1, V.C.1) and utilize the Virginia Stormwater Clearinghouse, the Chesapeake Bay Program Retrofit Curves/Equations, or the Chesapeake Bay Program Established Efficiencies (See Appendix C for further details). Similarly, any BMPs that were installed in addition to the VSMP requirements or on a project that reduced the pollutants on site used the same calculation methodologies. Example V.E.1 in the Guidance Memo was used to calculate credits for any oversized BMPs installed since 2009 on a site that disturbed greater than one acre. These calculations are also further detailed in Appendix C. Per correspondence with the DEQ, for redevelopment projects completed prior to January 1, 2014, permittees need to reduce the post-redevelopment pollutant load to the pre-redevelopment pollutant load level prior to taking credit for any additional reductions produced by a BMP.

59 Rainwater Harvesting BMPs Credits for POCs were also calculated from installed supplemental cisterns using the Chesapeake Bay Program Retrofit Curves/Equations (Guidance Memo Example V.B.1) and as defined in the Recommendations of the Expert Panel to Define Removal Rates for Urban Stormwater Retrofit Projects, dated October 9, These BMPs were installed in addition to the VSMP requirements and considered enhancements, since water quality for the associated sites was handled through other, and separate practices on site. See Appendix D. Table 3.2 Reduction Credits for Rainwater Harvesting BMPs Pollutant of Concern Cisterns (lbs/yr) Percentage of Total Permit Reductions Achieved by 2018 (%) Nitrogen % Phosphorus % Total Suspended Solids 4, % Stream Restorations The University has completed three stream restoration projects in the Meadow Creek watershed (on regulated urban area) since Table 3.3 below (and Appendix E) details the stream restoration projects and the associated reductions. The efficiencies calculated follow the revised default rates, non-coastal plain streams, in Table 3 of the Recommendations of the Expert Panel to Define Removal Rates for Individual Stream Restoration Projects, dated September 8, All of the stream restoration projects listed in Table 3.3 were submitted to the Army Corps of Engineers and found to meet the criteria as described in the Corps Nationwide Permit Number 27.

60 Historical BMPs Part IV.2 of the Guidance Memo allows full credit to be provided for BMPs installed on or after January 1, 2006 and prior to July 1, 2009 and that were constructed to address water quality. All BMPs included in this submittal were provided to DEQ in the Historical Data Clean-Up submittal. The credits that were calculated for these BMPs followed the James River Edge of Stream loading rates and the Chesapeake Bay Program Retrofit Curves/Equations, or the Chesapeake Bay Program Established Efficiencies (Guidance Memo Example V.B.1 and V.C.1 respectively). Projects that used conversions followed Appendix V.D in the Guidance Memo. Removal efficiencies listed in the Bay Retrofit Performance Curves section for Dry Extended Detention ponds used the efficiencies listed in Table A-4 of Recommendations of the Expert Panel to Define Removal Rates for Urban Stormwater Retrofit Projects, revised January 20, These efficiencies are 15% for TP and 10% for TN. See Appendix F. Table 3.4 Reduction Credits for Historical BMPs Pollutant of Concern BMPs installed between 1/1/06 and 7/1/09 (Historical BMPs) (lbs/yr) Percentage of Total Permit Reductions Achieved by 2018 (%) Nitrogen % Phosphorus % Total Suspended Solids 13, % Long before the mandates of the most recent Permit, the University of Virginia has made an aggressive effort to reduce POCs within the watershed. In order to protect the local watersheds, and ultimately the Chesapeake Bay, the University has constructed three oversized regional stormwater management facilities (two constructed wetlands and one retention pond). These BMPs were partly constructed in an effort to create a bank of POC credits for projected future development. Projects completed within the jurisdiction of the University that could not implement BMP methods due to physical or other constraints could use these bank credits to satisfy water quality regulations. The DEQ has confirmed, verbally and via , that this unclaimed excess capacity (calculated using the Guidance Memo) could be utilized to account for POC reductions required through 2028 or as available. No credits from the regional facilities have been included with this submission or are reflected in Table 4 below. Should the University s POC reduction requirements change during future permit cycles or as the MS4 boundary expands, UVA may wish to permanently retire some banked capacity to meet TMDL requirements. In that event, UVA will provide supporting calculations of the remaining bank capacity. 9

Implementation of potential projects to further reduce POCs required by 2028 will depend on planning, funding and areas in need. These factors are subject to change over time and will be planned as the permit cycles progress. Diligent planning to meet pollutant TMDL reduction requirements, maintenance of the drainage system, and mitigation of the effects of redevelopment will be required to provide a sustainable and functional stormwater system. If planning efforts at the University should change and affect this Action Plan, updates or modifications will be submitted to the Department of Environmental Quality to ensure that the University has continued to comply with the General Permit. 6. Means and Methods to Offset Increased Loads from New Sources Initiating Construction Between July 1, 2009 and June 30, 2014 (General Permit Section I.C.2.a.(7)) The University has never used an average land cover condition of greater than 16% impervious cover for the design of post-development stormwater management facilities and thus has no increased loads to offset under this permit requirement. 10

62 7. Means and Methods to Offset Increased Loads from Grandfathered projects that Begin Construction After July 1, 2014 (General Permit Section I.C.2.a.(8)) As was stated in section 6, the University has never used an average land cover condition of greater than 16% impervious cover for the design of post-development stormwater management facilities. Additionally, there are no grandfathered projects and thus there are no increased loads to offset under this permit requirement. 8. A List of Future Projects, and Associated Acreage that Qualify as Grandfathered (General Permit Section I.C.2.a.(10)) This section of the permit does not apply as the University has no grandfathered projects that qualify in accordance with 9VAC An Estimate of the Expected Cost to Implement the Necessary Reductions (General Permit Section I.C.2.a.(11)) There are no additional costs associated with achieving the necessary 5% reduction of POCs for this permit cycle. The University has accomplished the required POC reductions for the first permit cycle (2018) as a result of BMPs that have been installed and stream restorations that have been completed since A listing of these BMPs is located in Appendix B. As shown in the most recent master plan, the University strives to continue to improve and reduce the POC loading on the James River and ultimately the Chesapeake Bay. The following lists are examples of potential projects currently under consideration to continue this effort: Table 5 - Potential Stream Restoration Segments on University Grounds Adjacent Stream Location Redevelopment Zone Estimated Restoration Length (ft) Estimated Cost Distillery Branch Copeley Housing 700 $574,000 Nameless Field Stream Daylighting N/A 1,000 $1,000,000 Stream through Ivy Mountain Area Ivy Mountain / KCRC 700 $574,000 Total $2,148,000 11

91 Background The University of Virginia (UVA) occupies approximately 1,100 acres and is located within the borders of both the City of Charlottesville and Albemarle County. The University is also situated in the headwaters of the Meadow Creek watershed and the headwaters of tributaries to the Moores Creek watershed. Both of these watersheds drain to the Rivanna River on the eastern boundary of the City of Charlottesville. The Rivanna River flows to the James River, and ultimately discharges to the lower Chesapeake Bay. As a predominately urbanized state entity with separate storm and sanitary sewer conveyance systems, the University is classified as a Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4). Therefore, UVA is mandated to follow the regulations of the Environmental Protection Agency as outlined in the Clean Water Act, the Virginia Stormwater Act and the MS4 General Permit granted by the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). The MS4 service area consists of 782 acres. In compliance with Section I.B of the General Permit for Discharges of Stormwater from Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (Permit No.: VAR040073), and the Special Condition described therein, the University of Virginia, an MS4 Operator, has developed a Combined Benthic and Bacteria Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Action Plan for the Rivanna River. The TMDL for the Rivanna sets limits on the amount of pollutants of concern (POCs), including total suspended solids (TSS) and E.coli bacteria that can be discharged to the river without detrimentally impacting water quality. The MS4 Permit Special Condition for approved TMDLs other than the Chesapeake Bay TMDL requires all MS4 operators to reduce existing levels of these POCs to a level that will be protective of water quality. This process typically requires that the MS4 operator install best management practices (BMPs) that will, through various means, lower the contaminant levels in stormwater discharged to local streams and other water bodies. This TMDL action plan has been prepared in accordance with the requirements in the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality General Permit for Discharges of Stormwater from Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems and the DEQ Draft Local TMDL Guidance Memo (Guidance Memo), dated April The sections of this action plan correlate with the items identified as Action Plan Content on page four of the Guidance Memo. Additionally, the University has coordinated with Albemarle County and the City of Charlottesville in the preparation of this Action Plan. 1

92 1. The names of the Final TMDL reports (General Permit Section I.B; DEQ Local Stream TMDL Action Plan Guidance Document, Item 1) Wasteload allocations (WLAs) were assigned to the University for the Rivanna River Watershed in the approved Final TMDL reports as follows: Benthic TMDL Benthic TMDL Development for the Rivanna River Watershed, Final Report (dated March 2008) Bacteria TMDL Bacteria TMDL Development for the Rivanna River Mainstem, North Fork Rivanna River, Preddy Creek and Tributaries, Meadow Creek, Mechums River, and Beaver Creek Watersheds (dated March 2008) 2. The pollutants causing the impairments (General Permit Section I.B; DEQ Local Stream TMDL Action Plan Guidance Document, Item 2) Benthic TMDL The Benthic TMDL report noted above (Section 1) identified two separate stream segments with benthic impairments for the mainstem Rivanna River; Segment VAV-H28R-01 and Segment VAV-H29R-01 (See Appendix A). These segments, which are applicable to UVA, are included in Virginia s 303(d) Lists of Impaired Waters as well as the Water Quality Assessment 305(b)/303(d). As of 2004, the source of the benthic macroinvertibrate impairment for the upstream segment (VAV-H28R-01) was attributed to non-point source urban runoff. The source of the benthic macroinvertebrate impairment for segment VAV-H29R-01 is unknown. However, analysis of the candidate stressors indicate that sedimentation is the most probable cause of the impairment and the basis of the TMDL. Bacteria TMDL The Bacteria TMDL report noted above (Section 1) listed two stream segments with impairment listings relevant to the University and its watersheds. Those segments are the Rivanna River mainstem (VAV-H28R-RVN01A00) and Meadow Creek (VAV-H28R-MWC01A00). These segments were first identified as having impairment listings for E. coli and for fecal coliform bacteria on Virginia s 303(d) List of Impaired waters between 2002 and The initial impairment listings for the noted stream segments were expressed as fecal coliform bacteria, as was required with the Virginia Bacteria Water Quality Standard at that time. These segments are now both listed for E.coli impairments under the TMDL report for the Rivanna River Watershed in accordance with current applicable water quality standards (See Appendix B). 2

93 The TMDL, under the new water quality standards limits the geometric mean concentration of E.coli to 126 E. coli counts per 100 ml of water within a calendar month, or a concentration of 235 counts per 100 ml of water at any time. Potential sources for the pollutant(s) causing the impairment, specific to the University s MS4, are as follows: Failed sanitary sewer systems, straight pipes and failed septic systems Direct and indirect depositions from wildlife Loading contributions from domesticated pets. Other sources that were considered and contribute to the aggregated wasteload allocation include: Permitted point source facilities Livestock grazing Land application of manure Land application of biosolids 3. The WLAs assigned to the MS4 as aggregate or individual WLAs (General Permit Section I.B; DEQ Local Stream TMDL Action Plan Guidance Document, Item 3) Benthic TMDL The University has been assigned a WLA in the final Benthic TMDL report of 139 lbs/day as is shown in the table below.

95 4. Significant sources of POCs from facilities of concern owned or operated by the MS4 operator that are not covered under a separate VPDES permit (General Permit Section I.B.2.d; DEQ Local Stream TMDL Action Plan Guidance Document, Item 4) The Guidance Memo states: A significant source of pollutant(s) from a facility of concern means a discharge where the expected pollutant loading is greater than the average pollutant loading for the land use identified in the TMDL. Since the University owns and operates all of the facilities within the MS4 boundary, an evaluation process was established to identify any potential sites with significant sources of sediment and bacteria. The process involved analyzing sites that could traditionally be considered as areas with the potential for generating POCs within the MS4 service area. The emphasis focused on sites with municipal operations or high-priority facilities that require SWPPPs per Minimum Control Measure 6 in the Annual Report (i.e. Heat Plant, Recycle Center and FM maintenance yards). Emphasis was also given to all retention ponds (for their potential to attract dog-walkers and geese), and known properties with septic systems. The search was then broadened to include all properties that were immediately upstream of a DEQ MS4 regulated outfall. Field investigations were then made to sites that required further analysis of runoff characteristics, which resulted in a total of 75 potential facilities of concern. Active construction sites or any areas that have industrial permits were not included in the evaluation. Through desktop and site inspection analysis it was determined that the University does not contain any sites that are significant sources of sediment or E. coli. However, the sites identified on the list will continue to be monitored. Any facilities that are identified in the future as possible sources will be added to the list and incorporated into the TMDL Action Plan. Refer to Appendix C for a full listing of the evaluated sites. 5. Existing or new management practices, control techniques, and system design and engineering methods, that have been or will be implemented as part of the MS4 Program Plan that are applicable to reducing the pollutant identified in the WLA (General Permit Section I.B.2.b; DEQ Local Stream TMDL Action Plan Guidance Document, Item 5) Before the issuance of the most recent Permit, the University of Virginia had taken a proactive stance, and made an aggressive effort to reduce POCs within their watersheds. The University s MS4 Program Plan includes a wide array of Best Management Practices (BMPs) that aim to reduce pollutants including sediment and bacteria. The list of BMPs below outlines some of those practices and correlates with the Minimum Control Measures found in the Annual MS4 Report: 5

96 BMPs 1. Websites and Social Media (Sediment and Bacteria) The University Environmental Resources webpage contains links to the E&S website as well as the Stormwater Management page. Links can also be found through the websites for the Office for Sustainability. Additionally, a Facebook page, and a Flickr account have been created in conjunction with the University formed Stormwater Task Force to promote the same practices and behaviors. 2. Public Awareness Events (Sediment and Bacteria) - The University tables at events such as: World Water Day, Earth Week (at UVA as well as in the City of Charlottesville) for education and outreach. 3. Rivanna Stormwater Education Partnership Member As a member of RSEP, the University strives to make citizens aware of stormwater issues to help reduce impacts and improve local water quality. Membership in this partnership is an effective and fundamental part of the education and outreach program. 4. Advertising (Sediment and Bacteria) As part of the Rivanna Stormwater Educational Partnership (RSEP) further described in section 7, advertisements are displayed in a local newspaper (Cville Weekly), movie theaters and buses addressing methods to reduce sediment and bacteria with car washing tips and pet waste reminders, etc. 5. Utility Bill Mailings (Sediment and Bacteria) Mailings are coordinated via RSEP and are sent to all water customers in the City and Albemarle County. Mailings address POC awareness and mitigation methods. 6. Educational Lectures (Sediment and Bacteria) Members of the Environmental Resources team routinely guest lecture in classes for Engineering, Architecture and Environmental Science at the University to talk about the importance of POC awareness and reductions. 7. Stream Cleanups (Sediment and Bacteria) UVA students, faculty and staff are encouraged to participate in stream enhancement and education projects and programs where possible. 8. Illicit Discharge Program (Sediment and Bacteria) The University s program involves monitoring, detection and elimination of illicit discharges. The University maintains a 24 hour response team for reported discharges. Additionally, the RSEP website provides an online reporting tool for illicit discharges which are distributed to the appropriate MS4 operator. Utility mapping is updated regularly and illegal discharges are discouraged through public education. The University follows procedures for reporting and tracking illicit discharges and procedures for enforcing policies. An SOP has been written for illicit discharge removal. 6

97 9. Stormwater Stenciling Program (Sediment and Bacteria) - Staff and volunteers label stormwater catch basins and inlets to reduce potential illicit discharges. 10. MS4 Outfall Inspections/Dry Weather Discharge Inspections (Sediment and Bacteria) - Inspection program for all stormwater outfalls utilizes written IDDE procedures to detect illicit discharges, report them, investigate them, and document the investigation. Procedures were revised and updated to ensure compliance with new MS4 program requirements. 11. Inflow and infiltration Detection (Bacteria) The University proactively inspects sanitary sewer lines to identify problems before they occur. The program includes sanitary sewer lining and replacement. 12. Sanitary Sewer Overflow Response Team (Bacteria) - The University maintains an inhouse 24-7 response/repair team to respond, document, and notify DEQ of sanitary sewer overflow (SSO) reports. 13. Erosion and Sediment Control Program (Sediment) UVA follows Annual Standards and Specifications for E&SC in compliance with the Virginia E&SC Law and Regulations. UVA tracks land disturbing activities and provides disturbed acreage to the DEQ monthly in accordance with the Annual Standards. E&SC Plans are required for all land disturbances over 10,000 square feet (sf) in Albemarle County and 6,000 sf in the City of Charlottesville. UVA requires E&SC controls to be installed on all land disturbing projects, even if a formal E&SC plan is not required. Additionally, plan approval is required prior to commencement of any land disturbing activity. 14. VSMP and Construction General Permit (Sediment and Bacteria) - Land disturbances over 1 acre require a construction site Virginia Stormwater Management Program (VSMP) permit, which includes a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). UVA has provided a SWPPP template for construction activities to help guide contractors to plan for appropriate controls to prevent non-stormwater discharges. All stormwater management plans are reviewed for compliance with State Regulations. 15. E&SC Construction Site Inspections (Sediment and Bacteria) - UVA inspectors conduct E&SC inspections for applicable land disturbing activities: 1) upon initial installation 2) at least once within every 2 week period 3) within 48 hours of a runoff producing storm event 4) upon completion of the project. 16. Stormwater Management Master Plan (Sediment and Bacteria) The University has developed a Stormwater Management Master Plan as a proactive effort to implement a range of stormwater management related projects that not only provide solutions to drainage, and flooding issues but for water quality improvement needs on a watershed level. The plan strategically identifies projects that would meet pollutant load reduction 7

98 targets associated with the Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) assigned to the University. 17. Stormwater Management Project Review (Sediment and Bacteria) UVA follows Annual Standards and Specifications for stormwater management in compliance with the Virginia SWM Act and Virginia SWM Program (VSMP) Regulations as related to municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4) and construction activities. An internal plan review and approval program was implemented to maintain compliance with new stormwater regulations and to ensure stormwater runoff from UVA construction sites is managed appropriately. 18. Structural BMPs (Sediment and Bacteria) - There are currently over 100 structural BMPs that are either installed or under construction to help reduce the pollutant load to local streams. Additionally, construction projects occurring within the MS4 are encouraged to oversize their proposed BMPs to facilitate additional reductions. All newly constructed or retrofitted BMPs will be built in accordance with the latest version of the Virginia BMP Clearinghouse. 19. Stormwater Management Facility Inspections (Sediment and Bacteria) - UVA inspects and maintains all structural BMPs on its property. Inspectors conduct routine inspections and complete maintenance as needed. Debris is cleaned from catch basins and conveyances within the stormwater drainage system on a routine basis as well (and after large storms). 20. Street Sweeping and Vacuuming (Sediment and Bacteria) - UVA is responsible for the cleaning of streets, parking lots and permeable pavement (under our control) which includes the removal of trash and leaves at least once per year. Parking lots are monitored and cleaned as necessary. 21. Municipal Facility Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping (Sediment and Bacteria) - UVA has implemented a general Pollution Prevention Plan to cover all UVA operations. UVA will develop and implement specific SWPPPs for all municipal high priority facilities. 22. Annual Staff Training Plan (Sediment and Bacteria) UVA will continue to update the annual training plan as needed to provide necessary training on IDDE, good housekeeping, pollution prevention, spill prevention, environmental awareness, and other required training. Training is provided to appropriate staff at least annually. 23. Rivanna Conservation Alliance - Science Advisory Board Member UVA s Associate Director for Environmental Resources, and MS4 Manager, serves on the Science Advisory Board for the Rivanna Conservation Alliance. The board evaluates and makes suggestions to improve the biologic (and bacteria) monitoring program. 8

99 The minimum control measures and the associated BMPs under the MS4 Program Plan are further detailed at: As shown in the most recent master plan, the University strives to continue to reduce the POC loading on the Rivanna River. The following lists are examples of potential projects currently under consideration to continue this effort: Table 4 Potential Stream Restoration Segments on University Grounds Stream Location Adjacent Redevelopment Zone Estimated Restoration Length (ft) Distillery Branch Copeley Housing 700 Nameless Field Stream Daylighting N/A 1,000 Stream through Ivy Mountain Area Ivy Mountain / KCRC 700 Table 5 Potential Stormwater Basin Retrofit Opportunities Stormwater Facility Name Existing BMP Type Proposed BMP Type Darden #1 Basin (North) Dry Extended Detention Wet Pond Darden #2 Basin (South) Dry Extended Detention Wet Pond The Park Basin Dry Detention Wet Pond FM Basin Dry Detention Wet Pond Gooch Dillard Basin Dry Detention Bioretention or Wetland Gilmer Basin Dry Detention Extended Det. & Add Forebay The following list contains examples of potential projects, identified in the master plan, currently under consideration to reduce bacteria loading in the watershed: Table 6 Potential Septic System Replacement Opportunities Building Design Flow (gal/day) Proposed Treatment Duke House/ Sunnyside 1,366 Connect to Centralized Treatment Connect to Centralized KCRC 767 Treatment 9

100 6. Legal authorities such as ordinances, state and other permits, orders, specific contract language, and interjurisdictional agreements applicable to reducing the POCs identified in each respective TMDL (General Permit Section I.B.2.a; DEQ Local Stream TMDL Action Plan Guidance Document, Item 6) The University of Virginia owns, operates and maintains its own small MS4. The entirety of UVA s MS4 is located on UVA owned property. The Facilities Management Department at the University has developed a comprehensive stormwater program and is responsible for enforcement and compliance with the standards of the Clean Water Act under the General Permit for Discharges of Stormwater from Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems. The requirements stipulated in the University s Annual Standards & Specifications (AS&S) for Stormwater Management and Erosion and Sediment Control (SWM/E&SC) along with their MS4 program plan provide the authority to enforce the Special Conditions for approved TMDLs in accordance with the General Permit. In addition, Facilities Management applies a stormwater utility fee to all supported departments, the medical center, and auxiliary entities in order to establish a renewable funding source to maintain the stormwater program. All projects on UVA property involving land-disturbing activity subject to Virginia SWM/E&SC Laws and Regulations are bound by the UVA AS&S for SWM/E&SC. UVA s AS&S have been developed to ensure that all land-disturbing activities undertaken by UVA will proceed in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations as related to municipal separate storm sewer systems and land disturbing activities. UVA s AS&S for SWM/E&SC are approved by DEQ and are composed of general specifications. The general specifications that apply to the landdisturbing activities include the following: 1. Virginia Stormwater Management Act ( :24-50) 2. Virginia Stormwater Management Program (VSMP) Regulations (9VAC25-870) 3. General Permit for Discharges of Stormwater from Construction Activities (9VAC25-880) 4. General Permit for Discharges of Stormwater from Small MS4s (9VAC25-890) 5. Virginia Stormwater BMP Clearinghouse ( 6. Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Law ( :51-66) 7. Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Regulations (9VAC25-840) 8. Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Certification Regulations (9VAC25-850) 9. Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook, E&SC Technical Bulletins, as amended ( px) 10

101 Additionally, in order for the University to discharge its stormwater into state surface waters, the University is required to have a General Permit for Discharges of Stormwater from Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4). The MS4 permit requires the University to implement pollution control measures addressing the following six program areas in order to minimize the amount of pollution entering state waterways: 1. Public Education and Outreach 2. Public Involvement/Participation 3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination 4. Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control 5. Post-Construction Stormwater Management 6. Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping Refer to for the current MS4 Program Plan. UVA also completed a Stormwater Master Plan update in 2015 which reviewed the existing regulatory requirements that shape University strategy for implementation and compliance to future development. This Master Plan addressed the TMDL compliance issues within each cycle of the General Permit and outlined planning considerations and potential projects for various situations and the associated pollutant removal methods. 7. Enhancements to public education, outreach, and employee training programs to also promote methods to eliminate and reduce discharges of the POCs for which a WLA has been assigned (General Permit Section I.B.2.c; DEQ Local Stream TMDL Action Plan Guidance Document, Item 7) Education, Outreach and Public Participation Program One of the most important and effective BMPs in controlling and reducing sediment and bacteria in local streams is the Education and Outreach program at the University. In addition to the programs and initiatives organized or supported by UVA to promote healthy waterways, the University is also able to take advantage of the services and activities supported by the Rivanna Stormwater Education Partnership (RSEP), as a founding member and sponsor. RSEP is a collaborative effort among local MS4 permit holders to provide public education, outreach and opportunities for participation in stormwater related issues in the area to help improve local water quality. Many students, faculty, and staff live in the areas targeted by RSEP campaigns. In this way, UVA is able to convey the same stormwater related messages at the University which are also promoted in the local community, further reinforcing their importance beyond jurisdictional or MS4 boundaries. 11

102 The objective of all public education and outreach efforts, whether they are implemented by the University directly or as part of RSEP are to 1) focus public outreach campaigns to address the viewpoints and concerns of target audiences and 2) utilize diverse media (including TV and radio PSAs, print ads, flyers on buses, mailings, etc.) to increase public awareness about stormwater pollution prevention. The University s Environmental Resources division maintains a webpage ( which provides information on stormwater, best management practices, the University s MS4 permit, TMDLs and a link to the RSEP website. RSEP s website ( provides links to public service announcements, publications, stormwater education articles as well as videos, and other useful stormwater pollution prevention related tools. Both the University s and the RSEP s webpage also provide methods for the public to report illicit discharges. Some of the resources or publications that are available on the RSEP website include: Rain, Runoff and Your Backyard Pamphlet Raingarden Brochure Septic System Information Brochure Stormwater Runoff Management Brochure Vehicle Washing Brochure Pet Waste Education Initiative Pamphlet RSEP Stormwater PSA Video After the Storm (EPA) Video Prevent Storm Drain Pollution Video Dog Doogity Dog Waste PSA Video 12

103 Employee Training Programs Another way that the University helps prevent or reduce the release of pollutants to stormwater is through employee training. All training presentations are updated yearly and incorporate specific language for both sediment and bacteria with respect to stormwater pollution. In addition, other environmentally related topics are covered in order to minimize impacts to stormwater from UVA operations. Customized presentations are made to all of the operations staff at the University and the associated auxiliary departments whose job responsibilities may have the potential to impact stormwater. At a minimum, each presentation includes information about spill prevention, stormwater pollution prevention and reviews the specifics of the illicit discharge detection and elimination program. The training focuses on stormwater pollution prevention programs, recommendations for good housekeeping practices, standard operating procedures (SOPs), proper erosion and sediment control practices on construction sites, and the importance of post construction stormwater management and BMPs. Presentations are made in the classroom setting and are reinforced with site visits in the field.

104 8. A schedule of interim milestones and implementation of the items in 5, 6, and 7 (General Permit Section I.B.1.b; DEQ Local Stream TMDL Action Plan Guidance Document, Item 8) The University is committed to using a variety of management practices and control techniques for the purposes of reducing the pollutants identified in the WLAs. The University intends to use an adaptive iterative approach for the implementation of these BMPs and milestones over multiple permit cycles, as referenced in the MS4 General Permit, Section I.B.1, and in the Guidance Memo. These milestones or schedules may need to be modified in order to achieve the POC reductions necessary to restore the water quality of the Rivanna River, and ultimately removing the impairment listing.

105 9. Methods to assess TMDL Action Plans for their effectiveness in reducing the pollutants identified in the WLAs (General Permit Section I.B.2.e; DEQ Local Stream TMDL Action Plan Guidance Document, Item 9) The University plans on utilizing two separate methods to assess the effectiveness of this combined TMDL action plan. Benthic TMDL UVA will model sediment load reductions pursuant to the Chesapeake Bay TMDL Action Plan Guidance Document published by DEQ (Guidance Memo No ) as well as any additional guidance received from DEQ to track both the effectiveness and progress toward the TMDL requirement. The Guidance Memo (for Local TMDLs) indicates that [p]ermittees may refer to the Chesapeake Bay TMDL Action Plan Guidance (GM ) for strategies and information on how to calculate reductions from BMPs in watersheds with local nutrient and sediment TMDLs. This sediment reduction modeling and accounting program will include any reductions of sediment loads from BMPs within the regulated MS4 boundary and will include the facilities identified in Section 4 of this report. DEQ Staff have indicated that using the edge of stream sediment loading rates provided in The Chesapeake Bay TMDL Action Plan Guidance Document Table 2a is not acceptable. These loading rates reflect average sediment delivery into the Chesapeake Bay (not the Rivanna River) as a function of land use type. DEQ staff have recommended that a generalized loading rate of 0.3lbs/day/acre to model land-based sediment loads should be used. The loading rate of 0.3 lbs/day/acre is the average loading rate per acre for UVA, Albemarle County, and the City of Charlottesville s MS4 areas outlined in the Benthic TMDL Development for the Rivanna River Watershed, Final Report (dated March 2008). Bacteria TMDL The University plans to rely on an existing local water quality monitoring program, organized by the Rivanna Conservation Alliance (RCA) (formerly Stream Watch) to track and assess the effectiveness in bacteria reductions. The University currently has access to the testing results for this program which collects monthly samples (February to October) at several outfall locations that discharge to the Rivanna River. Many of these sampling locations are directly downstream of the University s MS4 boundary and are mapped on RCA s website ( These water quality samples are monitored for E.coli using Coliscan Easygel. The University, Albemarle County (the County), and the City of Charlottesville (the City), have begun coordination to determine how RCA s existing bacteria sampling program may be used and potentially augmented to assess bacteria reductions along impaired reaches. The 15

106 University, in cooperation with the County and the City, will analyze the data to recognize trends and make any adjustments in the program as necessary to achieve the required reduction thresholds. The University also plans to use this water quality data to identify and mitigate potential sources of pollutants. All results will be included in the University s Annual Report submitted to DEQ. 10. Measurable goals and the metrics that the permittee and Department will use to track those goals (and the milestones required by the permit) (General Permit Section I.B.1.b; DEQ Local Stream TMDL Action Plan Guidance Document, Item 10) As a part of the MS4 Annual Report, the University will incorporate the progress and completion of the interim milestones and BMPs listed in Section 8 of this Action Plan. All accounting and monitoring results obtained will be provided with respect to the associated proposed schedule. In accordance with the MS4 General Permit, the University will utilize an adaptive iterative approach to implement this action plan, in order to progressively reduce the discharge of the identified POCs over multiple subsequent permit cycles. Therefore, this plan may be changed or adjusted as necessary in order to achieve the assigned WLAs. 16
