RE: 2019 ANNUAL REPORT— MS4 Permit Number #NCS000480
Mrs. Powell:
The Town of Rutherford College is in receipt of the Notice of Violation from the MS4 Storm Sewer
System Audit, performed by Isaiah Reed on May 9, 2019. We acknowledge the deficiencies in our
stormwater monitoring program in relation to audit criteria noted in the Notice of Violation (NOV-
2019-PC-0452) and have taken the following steps to remain complaint:
1. Entered into an agreement with the Western Piedmont Council of Governments
(WPCOG) for stormwater education and outreach to the public.
2. Have constructed an information page on the Town's website for the public to call and
report violations or stormwater issues.
3. Have entered into an agreement with West Consultants Engineering of Morganton for
construction/site inspections in relation to stormwater retention mechanisms.
4. The Town has budgeted approximately $10,000 to cover the cost of the educational
outreach and as needed site inspections with plans on appropriating more operating
capital next budget year to keep the MS4 Program compliant.
Moving forward, the Town of Rutherford College acknowledges these on -going requirements and
intends to comply fully with the MS4 program.
Respectfully Submitted,
