Subject:RE: Camp Lejeune MS4 Audit Notification
I received some questions from another base, so am providing you the same information as an FYI: 

DEQ usually takes photographs during site visits, but it is expected that there will be security issues on base.  We can 
approach this by either (1) obtaining approval for DEQ to take pictures, or (2) base staff take the pictures under direction 
of DEQ staff and maintain them on file as required permit documentation.  Under option 2, a photo log would be 
generated and included in the audit report, but not the actual photos. 

Picking up DEQ staff at the gate and providing escort is acceptable. 

DEQ is currently evaluating all of the non‐traditional MS4s that have/want to include industrial facilities in the next 
permit iteration.  We can schedule a meeting to discuss this topic in September if you would like to. 

DEQ is cognizant of fiscal year budgets, and will remain respectful of commitments that cannot be changed.  Under the 
standard timeline for an audit, the Draft SWMP is required to be submitted 120 days following receipt of the audit 
notice.  For Camp Lejeune, this would likely require Draft SWMP submittal in April‐May 2021 and the new permit would 
be effective January 1, 2022.  However, please note that the standard audit timeline and permit effective date was 
developed to work with the state fiscal year of July 1 ‐ June 30.  DEQ is open to basing DOD MS4 permits on the federal 
fiscal year of October 1 ‐ September 30, if appropriate.  That would make the new permit effective date either October 
1, 2021 or April 1, 2022, with a standard annual reporting period of October 1 ‐ September 30. 

A DOD‐relevant Draft SWMP template will be made available this fall.  It will be similar to the current Draft SWMP 
template posted on the DEQ web page, but will be specific to the DOD MS4 permit requirements.
