Hi Nick,
This is a follow up to the voice mail that I left for you today. DEQ is in the process of preparing the
list of MS4s subject to enforcement and penalties. In order to avoid taking enforcement action, I am
reaching out one last time to try and obtain the necessary documents from the Town of Canton:
1. The MS4 Permit Renewal Application form was due on August 23, 2021 and the permit has
expired. An electronic copy of the application form should be emailed to me ASAP, and an
original “wet” signature application form should be mailed to the address below. Failure to
submit a permit renewal application immediately will result in a Notice of Violation and
issuance of penalties for failure to reapply and operating without a permit.
2. Canton was issued a Notice of Violation # NOV-2020-PC-0502. This resulted from a permit
compliance audit, which found the Town’s stormwater program to be significantly deficient.
The Town Council passed a Resolution regarding permit compliance on 01/14/2021. Per the
NOV, the required Self-Audit was due on 04/02/2021. Failure to submit self-audit within
thirty (30) days will result in a Notice of Recommendation for Enforcement and penalty
assessments.
You can access the Town’s complete permit file via the Stormwater Program Laserfiche Repository.
Please contact me immediately if you have any questions. I am best reached via email.
Regards,
J
