Dear Mr. Braswell and Mr. Whitt,
On May 24, 2021, staff from the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ)
conducted a compliance audit of subject National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System

serious deficiencies with certain components of the MS4 permit, which constitutes a violation of
the Clean Water Act and is grounds for enforcement action.
In accordance with Part V1 of the permit and DEQ policy, a new 5-year MS4 permit will be
issued in response to the audit. To address the MS4 permit deficiencies, the City of Mount Holly

If the City of Mount Holly fails to meet the aforementioned requirements and/or submits a
significantly noncompliant Draft SWMP, DEQ may proceed with enforcement. As is stated in
Part V, Section A.I (c) of the permit:
Under state law, a daily civil penalty of not more than twenty-five thousand dollars

accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of a permit [North Carolina
General Statute 143-215.6A]. Please note that compliance with the requirements of this
notice and/or issuance of civil or criminal penalties levied by DEQ does not preclude the
EPA from carrying out its own enforcement case against the permittee.
