Local Government may use the tasks above to help comply with NPDES MS4 stormwater
education requirements, Jordan Lake Rules, Falls Lake Rules, and/or Neuse nutrient strategy
education requirements. Local Government's execution of this MOU signifies an understanding
that any one of the service assignments listed above may only partially fulfill its education
requirements during an audit by NC DEQ. Accordingly, Local Government acknowledges that it
is ultimately responsible for meeting all federal and state laws, rules and regulations related
thereto. The Local Government permittee and CWEP share responsibility for determining how
specific service objectives can be cooperatively achieved, with the understanding that CWEP
supplements local efforts to comply with regulatory requirements. The Local Government is
highly encouraged to send one or more representatives to CWEP's quarterly steering committee
meetings to collaborate on strategies. CWEP will make every reasonable attempt, as permitted
by available staffing and supplies, to independently and proactively address the objectives in the
Local Government's community, and will update the CWEP Local Government representative
each quarter to offer opportunities for discussion and collaboration.
The Local Government agrees to pay TJCOG for the services provided herein based on a fee
schedule adopted by TJCOG, voted on by CWEP Local Governments, and incorporated herein
by reference in Attachment A. The period of performance under, and the term of, this Agreement
will begin on July 1, 2021 and will conclude on June 30, 2022. The Local Government reserves

the right to unilaterally terminate this Agreement for cause or convenience (in the case of cause,
immediately, and in the case of convenience, upon thirty (30) calendar days' written notice),
whereupon CWEP and TJCOG will only be entitled to prorated compensation for services properly
rendered up to the date of termination.
CWEP will provide an annual report by August 31 after fiscal year end, with local and regional
outreach and education numbers for both mass media and direct education. Interim metrics can
be provided as needed.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, both the Local Government and TJCOG have caused this Agreement
to be executed by their chief executive officers, all as of the day and year first above written.
