Dear Mr. Reed,
Please find enclosed a copy of the NPDES MS4 Permit Renewal Application for The University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH or University). The current UNC-CH Permit expires
on October 9,2023.Also enclosed please find a copy of UNC-CH's draft Stormwater Management
Plan (SWMP), originally submitted to DEQ-DEMLR on November 09, 2021, and edited to reflect
personnel changes since the submittal.
Our department has experienced staffing shortages this year, which is why this application is being
submitted closer to the permit expiration than is recommended. My predecessor, Sharon Myers, is
now retired, and I am taking over as the MS4 Phase II NPDES Permit administrator for UNC-CH.
If you have any questions concerning our renewal permit application, and to schedule a review of
the SWMP and permit conditions, please contact me at (919) 843-0475 or ilclarke@ehs.unc.edu.
