A,

NCDOT isn’t required to implement one retrofit per division, but the total number of retrofits
required was derived based upon the ability / reasonableness to do one per division per year. DOT
has the latitude to determine where and when on their retrofits as long as they hit the overall number
of 70.

JP,

One more follow up Q, from their annual reports it doesn’t seem like DOT implements one retrofit per
Division each year, it actually seems like they tend to focus just on certain areas (often toward the
coast lately). They didn’t get any comments on that during their audit, so I guess that is OK?

We’re helping DOT with a number of different program areas related to their MS4 permit, it is funny
that I have gone from being the regulator to trying to help the regulated.

No, the number 70 is based on one retrofit in each of the 14 Divisions per year. There are no specific
or additional requirements for Falls Lake.

JP –

Hi short timer!

Q about NCDOT’s retrofit requirement: do they have to do the required retrofits for Falls Lake in
addition to the 14 retrofits required in their TS4 permit. In other words, they can’t double-count?

You wrote it , but here it is for quick reference.

Thanks,
A
