Ms. Powell — I just want to check on the status of your review of our draft stormwater management plan that was submitted to you in mid -March. We are nearing the end of our budget deliberations and, while we hope that you find the draft plan sufficient as drafted, if there are any major changes to the it that would require a shift in our budget we would like to know about it sooner rather than later.

The Town's MS4 Stormwater Program was audited on 12 November 2020 and a Notice of Violation (NOV-2020-PC-0479) was issued on 16 November 2020. The Town has fully complied with the terms of the NOV by performing all required actions and submitting all required documents within the times specified in the NOV. As part of this work a draft Stormwater Management Plan (SWMPv1) was submitted to NCDEQ-DEMLR on 16 March 2021. The draft SWMP was confirmed as received by your office and, based on the attached email dated 7 June 2021 from Jeannette Powell, was found sufficient to advance to a detailed review. It appears that the detailed review of the Town's SWMP is scheduled such that a new NPDES permit is anticipated to be issued in 2022. Until that occurs, the Town will operate under the draft SWMPv1 that is pending review in your offices. Sincerely, le 0 ckson Town orney cc: Selena D.
