Subject: MS4 PERMIT COMPLIANCE AUDIT NOTIFICATION
City of Durham
NPDES MS4 Permit No. NCS000249
Durham County
Dear Mr. Wiebke:
The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) will be performing an audit of the City of Durham Municipal
Separate Storm Sewer System NPDES Permit, which is scheduled for August 16,17, and 18 beginning at 9:00am
and is expected to take at least three full days. An agenda will be sent in the coming weeks to further outline the
aspects of the MS4 program that will be focused on during the audit. Please arrange for an appropriate meeting
space that will accommodate your representatives, 2-3 staff members from DEQ and access to any tools routinely
utilized to implement the MS4 Program (e.g. databases, GIS, farms, etc.).
You are expected to ensure that all relevant staff, contractors and management/leadership/officials are present
for scheduled audit meetings. The audit is structured but informal, and the agenda will be flexible depending
upon progress. However, the Preliminary Findings portion of the audit will be held as scheduled so that
management and elected officials can plan to attend.
On -site meeting rooms must provide adequate space for all participants to maintain appropriate social distancing
protocols for COVID-19. If special arrangements or schedule adjustments are necessary to achieve this, please
discuss this with me prior to the audit date. All participants of on -site meetings are expected to wear personal
protective equipment in accordance with current state requirements, guidelines and recommendations; and to
also maintain appropriate social distancing protocols for COVID-19 at all times.
Should you have any questions regarding the upcoming MS4 Permit compliance audit, please feel free to contact
meat Isaiah.ReedOncdenr.eov or [phone].
Sincere ,
