RE: Notice of Violation (NOV-2020-PC-0045)
NPDES Stormwater General Permit NCG150000
Montgomery County Airport,Certificate of Coverage NCG150025
Mr. Lawyer:
The County is in receipt of the above mentioned Notice. As discussed during the site inspection, county
personnel were simply unaware of specific general permit requirements. Any omissions were not
intentional. Realizing our inexperience in airport operations,the County engages professional engineering
firms to assist with airport capital projects, planning and regulatory compliance. With their help, and
guidance from NC DOT/Aviation,the County has successfully transitioned to unmanned airport operations,
completed a runway rehabilitation project, a perimeter fencing project,and a fuel farm project. However,
the deficiencies noted seem to be a collective oversight.
We're updating our Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and will submit the final plan by the end
of March. We've familiarized ourselves with the qualitative monitoring requirements,and are set to begin
submitting monitoring reports electronically.
We appreciate the opportunity to respond. If you have any questions,concerns,or need additional
information, don't hesitate to contact me at(910) 576-4221 ext. 1307.
Respectfully,
Chris Hildreth
Director of Development&Infrastructure
