Local Governments may use the tasks above to help comply with NPDES MS4 stormwater
education requirements, Jordan Lake Rules and/or Neuse and Tar-Pamlico nutrient strategy
stormwater education requirements. The Local Government's signature on this MOU (and MS4
permit number if applicable) signifies an understanding that any one of the items listed above
may only partially fulfill its education requirements during an audit from NC DEQ. Accordingly,
the Local Government acknowledges that it is ultimately responsible for meeting all federal and
state laws, rules and regulations related thereto. The Local Government and CWEP share
responsibility for determining how specific objectives can be cooperatively achieved, with the
understanding that CWEP supplements local efforts to comply with regulatory requirements.
The Local Government is highly encouraged to send one or more representatives to CWEP's
quarterly steering committee meetings to collaborate on strategies. CWEP will make every
reasonable attempt, as permitted by available staffing and supplies, to independently and
proactively address the objectives in the Local Government's community, and will update the
CWEP Local Government representative each quarter to offer opportunities for discussion and
collaboration.
The Local Government agrees to pay TJCOG for the services provided herein based on a fee
schedule adopted by TJCOG, voted on by CWEP Local Governments, and incorporated
herein by reference. The fee schedule and individual Local Governments' cost shares
may change annually in the second and third year of the agreement if population
estimates generated by the NC State Demographer's Office show population changes. The
period of performance under, and the term of, this MOU will begin on July 1,

2022 and will conclude on June 30, 2025. This agreement automatically renews for a total of
3 years unless either party gives 90-day notice prior to end of the term. The Local
Government reserves the unilateral right to terminate this MOU for cause or convenience (in
the case of cause, immediately, and in the case of convenience, upon 90 calendar days'
written notice), whereupon CWEP and TJCOG will only be entitled to prorated
compensation for services properly rendered up to the date of termination.
CWEP will provide an annual report by August 31 on the prior fiscal year's local and regional
outreach and education, to include both description and numbers for both mass media and
direct education efforts. Interim numbers can be provided as needed.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, both the Local Government and TJCOG have caused this MOU to be
executed by their chief executive officers, all as of the day and year first above written.
