MS4 COMPLIANCE INSPECTION/AUDIT
ADDITIONAL INFO/COMMENTS
All-round a very well implemented stormwater program.
The NCDEQ— Stormwater Program will review this audit information, and will provide the permittee
with a draft and/or final MS4 Audit Report that may include the following compliance items:
• Notice of Violation. Any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of the Clean Water Act
and is grounds for enforcement action; for permit termination, revocation and reissuance, or
modification; or denial of permit coverage upon renewal application.
• Notice of non-compliance: A finding that could result in a Notice of Violation, a fine or other
enforcement action if corrective action is not taken.
• Discrepancies: A finding that would not likely cause a Notice of Violation, a fine, or other
enforcement action. Discrepancies are normally a result of poor management practices,
failure to follow installation Standard Operating Procedures, minor differences of
interpretation or administration oversights. Discrepancies can also be findings where
compliance could not be determined
• Identify any repeat deficiencies
• Recommendations represent practices that should be considered to improve the overall
effectiveness to improve stormwater management
