Good Morning Phase Is,

With Alaina’s and my departures from DEQ, there will obviously be changes on the horizon. In the
interim, DEQ appreciates your patience and the following should help answer any questions you may
have:

We are trying very hard to find resources and time to complete the six Phase I MS4 audits
during the current federal fiscal year, which ends on September 30. DEQ will review the
submitted self-audit and select one of the six minimum control measures to audit in depth.
The DEQ “mini” audit is expected to take one day to complete.

Phase I’s will not be required to utilize the Phase II Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP)
Template that is posted on the DEQ MS4 web page. The Phase I MS4 Programs are far more
advanced than the Phase IIs, so that type of SWMP format is not the best tool for the Phase
Is. Phase I MS4s should continue to utilize their current SWMP format.

To apply for permit renewal, the Phase Is should submit the attached Phase I NPDES MS4
Permit Application Form along with the SWMP. The permit renewal application must be
submitted either 180 days prior to permit expiration or when requested by DEQ, whichever
comes first.

It has been a pleasure working with all of you again! I am here through June 30 if there is anything
that I can assist you with. An interim MS4 contact will be provided closer to my departure.

Regards,
J
