We are submitting this letter in response to the email we received from you on October 6, 2020 regarding
Annual Reporting guidance.
On September 15-16, 2020, NCDEQ conducted a Compliance Stormwater Evaluation Inspection of
Statesville's Phase II Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Program. The following minimum controls
were evaluated:
• Program Implementation, Documentation & Assessment
• Public Education & Outreach
• Public Involvement & Participation
• Illicit Discharge Detection & Elimination
• Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
On October 1, 2020 DEQ issued a Notice of Violation (NOC-2020-PC-0422) to the City of Statesville. The
following actions were required:
1. Respond in writing within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of receipt of the Notice of Violation to
acknowledge these requirements and the intent to comply.
The City has responded to James Moore with NCDEQ Mooresville Regional Office on Wednesday
October 14, 2020.
2. Adopt a Council Resolution within sixty (60) calendar days from the date of receipt of the NOV. The
resolution must declare support for a compliant stormwater management program. The original signed

The City has begun the process to bring the resolution before the board, with the November 2,
2020 City Council Meeting the target date for adoption.

3. Submit documentation for review and comment within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days from the
receipt of the NOV:
a) Conduct a self -audit which includes, at a minimum, an evaluation of compliance with the permit
conditions found in Part II Section E: Construction Site Runoff Controls; Section F: Post -
Construction Site Runoff Controls; Section 1: Total Maximum Daily Loads. The self -audit must
be documented utilizing the NCDEQ standard MS4 Permit Compliance Audit Report Template.
b) Develop Draft Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) which details specific actions,
measurable goals, and implementation timelines to bring the stormwater management program
into compliance with NPDES MS4 requirements over the new 5-year permit term. The SWMP
must be documented utilizing the NCDEQ Phase II MS4 SWMP Template. The SWMP must
address all known compliance deficiencies including, at a minimum, the items detailed in the
NCDEQ MS4 Audit Report and the City of Statesville self -audit.
The City will conduct a self -audit of the items listed to submit with a draft SWMP within 120 days
of receiving the NOV.
4. Submit an NPDES MS4 permit application within thirty (30) days of receiving written NCDEQ
concurrence that the submitted Draft SWMP documents a compliant stormwater management program.
A new 5-year NPDES MS4 permit will be public noticed along with the submitted SWMP.
The City will submit a new NPDES MS4 permit application within 30 days of receiving written
DEQ concurrence that the submitted SWMP documents a compliant stormwater management
program.
5. Respond to public comments on the Draft SWMP and submit a Final SWMP for NCDEQ approval and
final permit issuance. The final NCDEQ-approved SWMP shall become an enforceable component of
the NPDES MS4 permit.
The City will respond to public comments on the Draft SWMP and submit a Final SWMP for
NCDEQ approval and final permit issuance.
Should you have any questions, please contact me at [phone] or [e-mail].
