Subject: NOTICE OF COMPLIANCE (NOC-2020-PC-1014)
Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune
NPDES MS4 Permit No. NCS000290
Onslow County

Dear Mr. Lowder:

On September 24 – 25, 2020, staff from the North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) conducted a compliance audit of the Marine Corps Base Camp
Lejeune (MCBCL) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal
Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit. For your reference, a copy of the MS4 Program
Audit Report issued by DEQ is enclosed with this notice.

The audit identified no significant deficiencies with the specific components of the MS4 permit
that were reviewed. The MCBCL should self-evaluate the permit components that were not
reviewed by DEQ for compliance: Part II Section B: Public Education and Outreach; Section C,
Public Involvement and Participation.

In accordance with Parts V and VI of the NPDES MS4 Permit and DEQ policy, a new 5-year
MS4 permit will be issued in response to the audit. As such, MCBCL is required to submit an
NPDES MS4 permit renewal application within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of receipt
of this notice. The application form can be found on the DEQ stormwater web page, and is also
provided to the electronic cc’s on this notice for your convenience.

Because the MCBCL is currently in compliance and the existing Stormwater Management Plan
is sufficient, the MCBCL is not required to provide the supplemental information in Part IV of
the NPDES MS4 Permit Renewal Application Form. Please attach a copy of this notice to the
permit application to fulfill the required supplemental information in Part IV of the application.

The permit renewal application must contain an original “wet” signature and should be submitted
by mail to:

DEQ-DEMLR Stormwater Program
Attn: Jeanette Powell
1612 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1612

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Should you have any questions, please contact me at
[phone] or [e-mail].

Sincerely,
Jeanette Powell, MS4 Program Coordinator
Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources
