The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has reviewed the documents submitted in response
to the September 8, 2021 pre -audit documentation request. Based upon this review, staff will be
performing the following National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal
Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit compliance audit for the subject permit.
An on -site audit will be performed, which includes on -site interviews with MS4 representatives and
site inspection(s) of municipal industrial facilities. The on -site audit is scheduled for December 1,
2021 beginning at 8:30 AM and is expected to take one (1) full day. Please arrange for an
appropriate meeting space that will accommodate your representatives, 2-3 staff members from DEQ,
and access to any tools routinely utilized to implement the MS4 Program (e.g. databases, GIS, forms,
etc.).
You are expected to ensure that all relevant staff, contractors and management/leadership/officials are
present for scheduled audit meetings. The audit is structured but informal, and the agenda will be
flexible depending upon progress. However, the Preliminary Findings portion of the audit will be held
as scheduled so that management and elected officials can plan to attend.
On -site meeting rooms must provide adequate space for all participants to maintain appropriate social
distancing protocols for COVID-19. If special arrangements or schedule adjustments are necessary to
achieve this, please discuss this with me prior to the audit date. All participants of on -site meetings
