Please remember that any actions you initiate in response to benchmark exceedances as directed in
the tiered response provisions of your permit must address all drainage areas represented

Please append this letter to your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) or permit to
document that representative outfall status has been approved. If changes in drainage areas,
structures, processes, storage practices, or other activities occur that significantly alter the basis of
this approval, representative outfall status may no longer be valid. You should either resume
sampling at all SDOs, or reapply to this office for representative outfall status based on updated
