All,

You are receiving this email because you have an MS4 permit that is expired or expiring next month.
Your MS4 also has a permit renewal application on file and a Draft Stormwater Management Plan
(SWMP) in DEQ’s review queue. With a permit renewal application on file, the current permit is
automatically extended and remains in full force until the new permit is issued. Please continue
to implement the conditions in the current/expired NPDES MS4 stormwater permit as required
until such time as the Division issues a new permit.

DEQ’s Stormwater Program is currently short staffed with multiple vacant positions and the SWMP
review queue is backlogged. It is not clear when you will receive comments/approval on the Draft
SWMP and the new permit will be issued. I apologize for the delay in getting SWMP reviews turned
around, and very much appreciate your patience and ongoing efforts to implement a compliant
stormwater management program in the meantime. We hope to be fully staffed again and clear the
backlog in the coming months.

Best Regards,
J
