City of Lexington
NPDES MS4 Permit No. NCS000584
Dear Ms. Powell:
On July 23, 2020, a compliance audit of the City of Lexington's Municipal Separate Storm
Sewer System Permit was conducted by NC Department of Environmental Quality staff. As a
result of this audit, the City of Lexington was issued a Notice of Deficiency which included a
report detailing the components in which the Stormwater Management Plan was deficient. As
required by the Notice of Deficiency, the City of Lexington is to develop a draft Stormwater
Management Plan to maintain compliance with the MS4 Permit.
While developing a draft Stormwater Management Plan, it is our understanding that the City of
Lexington is not required to submit an Annual Report for the 2019-2020 Fiscal Year, as is
typically due by October 31 ". It is our intent that this letter serves to acknowledge the exemption
this year from submitting an Annual Report.
The City of Lexington understands our responsibility to comply with the Notice of Deficiency
and our duty to maintain compliance with the MS4 Permit.
Sincerely,
�x� &4e-
Zack MacKenzie
Stormwater Administrator
City of Lexington
