Re: NPDES Permit No. 000448
NPDES MS4 Permit Application Form - Renewal
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
Enclosed please find the Town of Weaverville’s NPDES MS4 Permit Application for renewal of the
above-referenced permit.
In the attached email dated 25 April 2022 Ms. Powell indicated that your office just needs the
application and not the draft SWMP as the SWMP is already on file. A hard copy is, nonetheless,
provided with the application as requested on the form, but an electronic copy is not. Please advise
if one is needed as it can be easily emailed.
The Town’s draft SWMP was submitted to DEQ for review on 16 March 2021 and it is my
understanding that that we are in the queue with a review anticipated not earlier than June 2022.
The Town has not made any changes to the draft as we are awaiting that review and any comments
by your office.
I respectfully request that this application be accepted by your office even though it is being
submitted after the normal deadline. I have been in communication with Ms. Powell routinely over
the last year regarding our NPDES permit and our draft SWMP with an expectation that DEQ’s work
would be completed in time for a new permit to be issued to replace the current one that happened
to expire in February 2022. We did not appreciate that a separate renewal application also needed
to be submitted until the Town was made aware of that on April 22, 2022.
Please let me know if you need any other documentation from the Town related to its MS4 NPDES
permit, or any other matter pending with your division of DEQ related to the Town of Weaverville.
Sincerely,
Jennifer O. Jackson
Town Attorney
