OTHER REQUIRED REPORT ELEMENTS

Identify the progress towards achieving the statutory requirements of reducing the discharge of pollutants to the Maximum Extent Practicable (MEP) and complying with water quality standards.

West Manchester Township’s Stormwater Management Program includes the required six Minimum Control Measures (MCMs). These measures are expected to result in significant reductions of pollutants discharged into receiving waterbodies. The individual MCM programs are reviewed regularly to identify areas for improvement and revised as appropriate. The Township created and filled a position for a dedicated stormwater professional (Stormwater Inspector/MS4 Coordinator) to oversee the various aspects of the Township’s Stormwater Management Program. The Township recently purchased an asset management software package with GIS capabilities and is in the process of building a database of stormwater management facilities and assets located throughout the Township. The Township is also participating in the York County’s Regional Chesapeake Bay Pollution Reduction Plan which will include a schedule of BMPs that the Township can implement in partnership with other municipalities through cost-sharing measures. This regional plan will allow limited dollars to be pooled and used to implement BMPs which will result in reducing greater amounts of pollutants entering regional waterways. The actions described above demonstrate the Township’s progress towards achieving reductions in the discharge of pollutants to the MEP.

Provide a summary of stormwater activities planned during the next reporting cycle (not identified previously in this report):

The Township will continue to carry out the MCM BMPs identified in its current Stormwater Management Plan. In addition to administering the various facets of the program, the Township will continue to build the stormwater management facility/asset database. This database will facilitate future asset operation and maintenance. The Township is planning to revise its Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operation to include targets for annual inlet and stormwater collection system inspections and maintenance. The Township will also continue to actively participate in the York County Regional Chesapeake Pollution Reduction Plan.

Provide a summary of notices, intergovernmental agreements and other relevant documents if the permittee is relying on another governmental entity to satisfy any of its permit obligations

The Township relies on PA’s statewide program for stormwater associated with construction activities to satisfy MCM #4 – Construction Site Storm Water Runoff Control. The Township relies on PA’s statewide program for stormwater associated with construction activities to satisfy BMP #’s 1 – 3 for MCM #5 – Post-Construction Storm Water Management in New Development and Redevelopment. The Township is participating in the York County Regional Chesapeake Bay Pollution Reduction Plan. The Township has an MOU with the Watershed Alliance of York (WAY) which provides assistance with MCMs.

One mill represents one dollar of tax on every thousand dollars of yourassessed property value. To locate your assessed property value, go toyorkcountypa.gov. For the calculation, divide the assessed property value by $1,000 and

then multiply by the millage tax rate.If your home is valued at $150,000, your real estate tax calculation is as

follows:Assessed value of $150,000 divided by $1,000 = $150.$150 is then multiplied by each millage rate from the School District, theCounty & the Township. Add the three together for the total real estate taxes.

$150 x 20.6731 = $3,100.97 School Taxes$150 x 4.52 = $678.00 County Taxes$150 x .214 = $32.10 West Manchester Township Taxes

Allocation OfYour 2014 Tax Dollar

Stormwater Management

Spring is a time of rejuvenation. Say goodbye to the last ofthat gray, gritty snow – it’s time for some Lawn TLC.

TIPS FOR A HEALTHY SPRING LAWN

REMOVE damage and dead vegetation

RESEED bare spots caused by salt with a salt tolerantgrass mix, then keep the ground moist for 3-4 weeks

KEEP GRASS LONG – 2 ½ to 3 inches long for thehealthiest growth

WAIT TO FERTILIZE – Fall is the best time to fertilize. Ifyou’re worried about lawn nutrition, have a soil testdone. Call the York County Extension to find outabout test kits and if you do need to fertilized waituntil the ground is well thawed and no rain ispredicted for 36 -48 hours.

TIPS FOR KEEPING POLLUTANTS OUT OF THE STREAMS:*

FOLLOW DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY – When applying anddisposing of lawn-care products, please follow allinstructions.

SWEEP-UP lawn products that fall on driveways orsidewalks

REUSE or properly dispose of lawn care products orchemical waste

KEEP DRAINS CLEAR never put ANYTHING into thestorm drains, don’t store construction materials nearan inlet grate, and clear off any grates near yourhome.

AVOID STREET WASTE – Never rake leaves or blowgrass clippings into the street. Compost grassclippings and bag other yard waste for collection.

BAG PET WASTE and dispose of it in the trash – all petwaste.

CLEAN material from gutters

DIRECT downspouts into the grass – this allows forsome infiltration into the ground.

* Springtime pollutants include phosphorous and otherchemicals. Phosphorous is found in organic materials –soil, grass, leaves, fertilizer, and pet waste. In waters, theyfeed algae. Chemicals are often part of spring fix-upefforts – paints, oils and cleaners. All of these can get intostorm sewers, washed off by rainwater and snow runoff.This water is NOT TREATED. It flows directly into our lakesand streams.

Sump Pumps Connected Illegally Cause Big Problems for Neighbors

SPRING LAWN CARE TIPS

We all know heavy and prolonged rain eventscreate unsafe driving conditions. These same

storms can overwhelm storm sewer inlets and pipes andcause streams to overflow their banks. However, hiddenfrom our sight are sanitary sewer lines. During heavyrains, these lines can receive catastrophic amounts ofrainwater and groundwater from sump pumps and roofdrains that are connected illegally.Sump pumps and down spout drain leaders that are

illegally connected to the sewer can quickly overwhelm asanitary sewer system. If just two or three neighbors in asingle block illegally connect their sump pumps to theirsewer lateral, the flow that is trying to get through thesewer main will be more than its designed capacity.During the last October 2013 storm, the Superintendentof the Wastewater Treatment Plant, reported over 30million gallons per day was received, on a normal daythey receive 3-4 million gallons. The difference betweenan average day and this specific storm was about 26-27million gallons of flow consisting of mostly groundwater.This enormous amount of groundwater combined withsewage creates tremendous problems for home owners.This combination of sewage and groundwater flowing

in the line starts to back up and creates a surcharge frommanholes, toilets, showers or even washing machines.Removing illegally connected sump pumps is the key toreducing the amount of flow in the sewer lines. Sumppumps are designed to pump collected rainwater from

your ground floor or basement. The sump pump shouldthen discharge into your yard, not the sewage system.Sanitary sewers are only designed to carry sewage. Simplyput, you can't pour a gallon into a quart jar withoutmaking a mess. Sewage overflows are a mess that no onewants in their home. Typically sewer lines in residential streets are only 8

(eight) inches in diameter and installed at relatively flatslopes. This diameter of pipe is adequate to supportresidential sewage needs but cannot accommodateadditional water inflow coming from illegally connectedsump pumps or down spouts. The problem is many homeowners don’t realize they

have an illegal connection because it was set up that waywhen they bought their home. If you know your home isconnected illegally to the sewer, please call a plumber andhave it fixed immediately. If you’re not sure you areconnected illegally contact the Township for a freeinspection. Since 2010, the Township has invested more than

$2.5 million without increasing property taxes or sewerrates, in replacing sewer interceptors, manholes andresidential sewer line repairs and replacements. Inaddition, over 80,000 feet of sewer main has beentelevised to identify future repair/replacement projects.Resolving the sanitary sewer overflow situation willrequire cooperation from all residents and continuedrepair/replacement projects by the Township.

West York School Superintendent Receives Award

West York Area School District’s own, Dr. Emilie Lonardi, hasbeen named the 2014 Pennsylvania Superintendent of the

Year by the Pennsylvania Association of School Administrators(PASA). According to the PASA website, this prestigious awardsprogram, established in 1988, “recognizes outstandingindividuals on the frontiers of educational leadership.”Dr. Lonardi, who has served as Superintendent of the West

York Area School District in York County for 16 years, is beingrecognized for her “innovative leadership.” This includesinitiating programs that encourage high achievement rates,student accountability and motivation, effective staffevaluation and professional development, and cost-cuttingthrough a campaign called the “West York Way,” which savedthe district over $3 million in the last two years. In 2001-2002,she began an initiative based on creating a professional

culture that builds teacher capacity and enhances bothday-to-day instruction and student growth through acollaborative model that focuses solely on student work.Dr. Lonardi keeps all constituencies focused on the district’s

strategic plan, which provides a clear and consistent messageregarding the long- and short-term goals, academic vision,and direction of the district. According to one of her peers, Dr.Lonardi is “a leader who challenges convention, stirs othersinto action and encourages staff to stretch to the edge oftheir competence.” A special PASA luncheon was held on Friday, November

15th, in Harrisburg to honor Dr. Lonardi’s achievement. Shewill further be honored at the American Association of SchoolAdministrators National Conference on Education in Nashville,Tennessee, along with the 49 other state award recipients.

WHERE DO YOUR TAX DOLLARS GO?

Residents of West Manchester Township pay real estate taxes each year. West Manchester Township receives 1% ofthe total real estate tax bill. As you can see from the illustration below, West York School District receives the highestpercentage of real estate tax dollars at 81%, while the County of York receives 18%.

Stormwater Management Information

TOWNSHIP COMPLIANCE WITH MS4 PROGRAM NPDES STORM WATER PERMIT

West Manchester Township submits an Annual Report to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to document implementation of its Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) in accordance with the conditions of the Authorization to Discharge under its NPDES General Permit for Discharges of Stormwater from Small MS4s (PAG-13). The goal of the MS4 program is to reduce the discharge of pollutants in order to protect water quality. The Township will continue to implement requirements of the MS4 program to protect water resources in the community. Among other things, the Township:

The latest version of the West Manchester Township Annual MS4 Report is available for review in the Township Office. This document can also be accessed online. It can be found below in the links section of this page.

Distributes public education material to the residents and other applicable

groups. This includes articles in the Township newsletters and brochures included with building and zoning permits.

Conducts a public education meeting on the MS4 program and the Township’s implementation efforts at least one time each year.

Inspects a minimum of 20% of the Township’s permitted storm water

outfalls annually for illicit discharges. The Township has adopted and enforces a Stormwater Management

Ordinance in accordance with the York County’s Integrated Water Resources Plan model stormwater management ordinance. Engineering review and approval of storm water management plans are required prior to the approval of all new developments.

Enforces Township ordinances by reviewing erosion and sediment control plans. The Township also has an executed Memorandum of Understanding with the York County Conservation District for review and enforcement of erosion and sediment control measures.

You can help too. Remember that anything that goes into a storm sewer eventually

drains to a stream: 1. Monitor storm sewer inlets near your property. Nothing should be dumped

into the storm sewer system. Contact the Police Department immediately if you witness illegal dumping.

2. Clean up after your pets and dispose of their waste properly. 3. Use fertilizers properly and efficiently to prevent excess runoff during a rain

storm. From your lawn those fertilizers travel through the storm sewer, into the local streams, eventually into the Susquehanna River and directly into the Chesapeake Bay. In the Bay those fertilizers promote algae growth; depleting oxygen, and killing fish, crabs, and other aquatic life.

4. Properly store chemicals and other materials that could contaminate water supply.

5. Never change your vehicle’s oil or other fluids near the storm sewer inlets. Report any chemical spills to the Township immediately.

For more information on Stormwater, and your effect on the streams, rivers, lakes and oceans, please watch:

Rain gardens are an inexpensive, beautiful and low maintenance way to manage

your stormwater impact.

To: MCM 2 Public Participation & Involvement File From: Zane Williams 380 East Berlin Road York, PA 17408 (717) 792-3505 Re: Township Resident reporting a clogged storm drain. Amethyst Road West Manchester Township

On 5/15/13 the township received a phone call from a Resident concerning a clogged storm drain on Amethyst Road between Topaz & Sapphire Roads. A field inspection was performed and confirmed that the two 36” cmp pipes were definitely clogged with debris (tree branches, leaves, grass, trash, and silt). The Township brought in a backhoe and dump truck and proceeded to clean out the debris (see pics). Sincerely, Zane Williams Stormwater Inspector/MS4 Coordinator

1 Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Program| WEST MANCHESTER TOWNSHIP

Procedures for Identifying Priority Areas Discharge Screening Factors to Consider (Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination, A Guidance Manual for Program Development and Technical Assessments by the Center for Watershed Protection and Robert Pitt University of Alabama, October 2004):

1. Past Discharge Complaints and Reports – Frequency of past discharge complaints, hotline reports, and spill responses per subwatershed. Any subwatershed with a history of discharge complaints should automatically be designated as having high Illicit Discharge Potential (IDP).

2. Poor Dry Weather Water Quality – Frequency that individual samples of dry weather water quality exceed benchmark values for bacteria, nutrients, conductivity or other predetermined indicators. High risk if two or more exceedances are found in any given year.

3. Density of Generating Sites or Industrial NPDES Stormwater Permits – Density of more than 10 generating sites or five industrial NPDES stormwater sites per square mile indicates high IDP. Density determined by screening business or permit databases

4. Stormwater Outfall Density – Density of mapped stormwater outfalls in the subwatershed, expressed as the average number per stream or channel mile. A density of more than 20 outfalls per stream mile indicates high IDP.

5. Age of Subwatershed Development – Defined as the average age of the majority of development in a subwatershed. High IDP is often indicated for developments older than 50 years. Determined from tax maps and parcel data, or from other known information about neighborhoods.

6. Sewer Conversion – Subwatersheds that had septic systems but have been connected to the sanitary sewer system in the last 30 years have high IDP.

7. Historic Combined Sewer Systems – Subwatersheds that were once served by combined sewer system but were subsequently separated have a high IDP.

8. Presence of Older Industrial Operations – Subwatersheds with more than 5% of its area in industrial sites that are more than 40 years old are considered to have high IDP. Determined from historic zoning, tax maps, and “old-timers.”

9. Aging or Failing Sewer Infrastructure – Defined as the age and condition of the subwatersehd sewer network. High IDP is indicated when the sewer age exceeds design life of its construction materials (e.g., 50 years) or when clusters of pipe breaks, spills, overflows or I/I are reported by sewer authorities.

153


10. Density of Aging Septic Systems – Subwatersheds with a density of more than 100 older drain fields per square mile are considered to have high IDP. Determined from analysis of lot size outside of sewer service boundaries.

Procedures for Screening Outfalls 1. Use MS4 Map to locate outfalls.

During the field work, the MS4 mapping shall be maintained by locating previously unidentified municipal owned stormwater management facilities as well as any newly constructed facilities.

2. When to conduct field screening:

During dry season and leaf off conditions

After a dry period of at least 48 hours

During periods of low groundwater levels

3. Identify where to conduct field screening. Prioritize by using the discharge screening factors listed in I above. Outfall inspections need to be prioritized according to the perceived chance of illicit discharges within the outfall’s contributing drainage area.

Each of the identified regulated small MS4 outfalls must be screened at least once during each permit coverage term. For areas where past problems have been reported or known sources of dry weather flows occur on a continual basis, outfalls shall be screened annually.

4. Conduct field screening. Observations of each outfall shall be recorded each time an outfall is screened, regardless of the presence of dry weather flow. Proper quality assurance and quality control procedures shall be followed when collecting, transporting or analyzing water samples. All outfall inspection information shall be recorded on the Outfall Reconnaissance Inventory/Sample Collection field sheet. Adequate written documentation shall be maintained to justify a determination that an outfall flow is not illicit. If an outfall flow is illicit, the actions taken to identify and eliminate the illicit flow also shall be documented.

Procedures for Identifying the Source of an Illicit Discharge When an illicit discharge is identified, a combination of methods may be necessary to isolate the source including the following:

1. Storm Drain Network Investigation – Inspect manholes within the drainage network system to isolate the discharge to a specific segment of the network.

154


Once the pipe segment has been identified, conduct on-site investigations to locate the specific discharge or an improper connection.

2. Drainage Area Investigation – Analyze the land use or other characteristics of the drainage area that is producing the illicit discharge through a review of available maps and/or by conducting a windshield survey of the drainage area.

3. On-site Investigation – On-site investigations might involve dye, video or smoke testing within an isolated segment of the storm drain network.

4. Septic System Investigation – Survey homeowner(s) and conduct surface inspections to locate a failing septic system.

Refer to Chapter 13 of the Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Guidance Manual developed by the Center for Watershed Protection and Robert Pitt of the University of Alabama, dated October 2004 for more detailed guidance on tracking a discharge to a source.

Procedures for Eliminating an Illicit Discharge Illicit discharges generally originate from one of the following sources:

An internal plumbing connection (e.g., discharge from a washing machine is directed to the building’s storm lateral; the floor drain in a garage is connected to the building’s storm lateral)

A service lateral cross-connection (e.g., the sanitary lateral from a building is connected to the MS4)

An infrastructure failure within the sanitary sewer or MS4 (e.g., a collapsed sanitary line is discharging into the MS4)

An indirect transitory discharge resulting from leaks, spills, or overflows

Specific procedures for eliminating an illicit discharge will depend on the type and source of the discharge. Following is a flow chart to guide corrective action for removing or correcting an illicit discharge.

155


The following table provides a summary of a range of methods for fixing the more significant issues. The last six techniques in the table are used for sanitary sewer line repair and rehabilitations. These activities are typically used when there is evidence of significant seepage from the sanitary system to the storm drain system.

Technique Application Description

Service Lateral

Disconnection,

Reconnection

Lateral is connected to the wrong

line.

Lateral is disconnected and reconnected to

appropriate line.

Cleaning Line is blocked or capacity

diminished.

Flushing; pigging; or rodding.

Excavation and

Replacement

Line is collapsed, severely blocked,

significantly misaligned, or

undersized.

Existing pipe is removed, new pipe placed in same

alignment; existing pipe abandoned in place and

replaced by new pipe in parallel alignment.

Manhole Repair Decrease ponding; prevent flow of

surface water into manhole; prevent

groundwater infiltration.

Raise frame and lid above grade; install lid inserts;

grout, mortar or apply shortcrete inside the walls;

install new precast manhole.

Corrosion

Control Coating

Improve resistance to corrosion. Spray- or brush-on coating applied to interior of

pipe.

Grouting Seal leaking joints and small cracks. Seals leaking joints and small cracks.

Pipe Bursting Line is collapsed, severely blocked, or

undersized.

Existing pipe used as guide for inserting expansion

head; expansion head increases area available for

new pipe by pushing existing pipe out radially until

it cracks; bursting device pulls new pipeline

behind it.

Slip Lining Pipe has numerous cracks, leaking

joints, but is continuous and not

misaligned.

Pulling of a new pipe through the old one.

Fold and Formed

Pipe

Pipe has numerous cracks, leaking

joints.

Similar to sliplining but is easier to install, uses

existing manholes for insertion; a folded

themoplastic pipe is pulled into place and

rounded to conform to internal diameter of

existing pipe.

Inversion Lining Pipe has numerous cracks, leaking

joints; can be used where there are

misalignments.

Similar to sliplining but is easier to install uses

existing manholes for insertion; a soft resin

impregnated felt tube is inserted into the pipe,

inverted by filling it with air or water at one end,

and cured in place.

Methods to Eliminate Discharges

Procedures for Assessing the Potential for Illicit Discharges Caused by

the Interaction of Sewage Disposal Systems with Storm Drain Systems During assessments or maintenance of outfalls located in areas served by on-lot systems, Township staff shall note for follow up any of the following key surface conditions which may be indicative of an illicit discharge:

157


Foul odors in the yard

Wet, spongy ground; lush plant growth; or burnt grass near the drain field

Algal blooms or excessive weed growth in adjacent ditches, ponds and streams

Shrubs or trees with root damage within 10 feet of the system

Cars, boats, or other heavy objects located over the field that could crush lateral pipes

Storm water flowing over the drain field

Cave-ins or exposed system components

Visible liquid on the surface of the drain field (e.g., surface breakouts)

Obvious system bypasses (e.g., straight pipe discharges)

Mechanisms for Gaining Access to Private Property to Inspect Outfalls The Township’s Stormwater Management Ordinance provides for access to private property for the purpose of inspecting the condition of the stormwater structures and facilities in regard to any aspect regulated by the Ordinance.

Procedures for Program Documentation, Evaluation and Assessment The following information shall be updated, maintained and logged for all MS4 outfalls:

Outfall coordinates

Watershed

Contributing Land Use

Diameter and other identifying physical characteristics

Outfall Reconnaissance Inventory (ORI) data, as it is collected

Accompanying digital photos

Any follow-up monitoring at the outfall or further up the pipe

Any complaints logged for the outfall, along with the response/action

158


Status and disposition of any enforcement actions

Maintenance and inspection data

The MS4 mapping shall continue to be updated as previously unidentified facilities are located and to include newly constructed facilities.

The program manager shall maintain, evaluate and assess the IDDE program annually and modify the program components as necessary.

including clearing and grubbing of vegetation and construction of agricultural buildings, require implementation of erosion and sediment (E&S) control Best Management Practices (BMPs) and may require a written E&S plan. Refer them to the District for further guidance.

2) Provide the District’s “Guide to Developing an Effective Erosion and Sediment Control Plan for Small

Projects”, to building/grading permit applicants for projects proposing 5,000 square feet to 0.99 acres of earth disturbance. The guide is intended for low-hazard scattered single family residential lot construction and other small grading projects on non-NPDES permitted projects. It may not be used for commercial or industrial projects.

3) Withhold issuance of building and/or grading permit(s) for projects proposing 5,000 square feet to 0.99

acres of earth disturbance until the E&S plan has received District review and approval when such review and approval is required by Township ordinance. Notify the applicant (at the earliest possible date) that the District has up to 50 calendar days to review the E&S plans.

4) Will notify building permit applicants of the requirement to have an E&S plan reviewed and approved by

the District. A District-approved E&S plan will be a required item on the Township’s building permit application checklist.

5) If necessary, update the Township’s Stormwater Management Ordinance, Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance (or) adopt an E&S ordinance requiring District review and approval of all projects proposing 1 acre or more of earth disturbance (over the life of the project) so that the District can determine if an NPDES permit is required. Phased project(s) initially proposing less than 1 acre of earth disturbance but which is part or portion of a larger common plan of development which will disturb 1 or more acres may also require an NPDES permit.

6) Encourage applicants to meet with the District and Township engineer at the earliest possible date to

discuss preliminary concept plans thereby avoiding costly delays and revisions due to plan designs that may meet Township requirements but fail to meet DEP requirements.

7) Notify the District within 10 calendar days of any PCSM plan revisions submitted to the Township after

the District has issued the NPDES permit.

8) Conduct an engineering review and approval of all PCSM plans required by a NPDES permit to ensure that DEP water quality requirements are met and require any revisions to the PCSM plans be resubmitted to the District.

9) Invite District to any scheduled preconstruction meetings and/or scheduled inspections especially prior

to Township adoption of the streets.

10) Will conduct during-construction and post-construction inspections to ensure compliance with implementation and long-term operation and maintenance of the PCSM BMPs in accordance with the PCSM plans.

11) Withhold:

• issuance of any building or other permit or final land development plan approval to persons proposing or conducting earth disturbance activities requiring a NPDES permit until the District has approved coverage under the general NPDES Permit for Stormwater Discharges Associated With Construction Activities (as required by Chapter 102.43). • if permitted by law, issuance of any building or other permit to any building permit applicant until the Township has received a District copermittee acknowledgement letter from the building permit applicant (typically the builder) for any lot construction on NPDES-permitted sites (as required by Chapter 102.43). A District copermittee acknowledgement letter will be a required item on the Township’s building permit application checklist.

• if permitted by law, the issuance of any grading, building, or other permits upon District request, when a responsible party continually fails to voluntarily comply with Chapter 102 regulations as documented on two or more DEP earth disturbance inspection report forms for the site under consideration until complete compliance.

12) Forward all third party complaints to the District regarding earth disturbance activities causing sediment

pollution to Waters of the Commonwealth or presenting a significant potential for sediment pollution. Inform the District of any earth disturbance projects that have commenced without receiving E&S plan and/or NPDES permit approval.

13) Take the lead on all stormwater complaints (that do not involve earth disturbance activities) and, where

applicable, work with the District to bring resolution.

14) Voluntarily comply with Chapter 102/NPDES requirements for all Township earth disturbance activities.

15) Provide the District with copies of all current E&S/PCSM/SALDO ordinances upon District request to ensure consistent application of requirements and avoid duplication of effort.

16) Provide enforcement support when the permittee(s) has failed to voluntarily comply with the approved PCSM plans.

III. This Memorandum of Understanding shall become effective immediately. It shall be reviewed periodically, as the need arises by either or both parties, and may be amended by mutual consent of both parties. This MOU may be terminated at any time, by either party, following a 30 day written notice to the other party.
