NPDES MS4 Permit No. NCS000545
Granville County
Dear Mr. Wheeler:
On May 28, 2022, staff from the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) conducted
a compliance audit of subject National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal
Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit. The audit identified minor deficiencies with the specific
components of the MS4 permit that were reviewed, as provided in the attached DEQ MS4 Permit
Compliance Audit Report.
In accordance with Part VI of the permit and DEQ policy, a new 5-year MS4 permit will be issued in
response to the audit. As such, the permittee is required to complete the following actions:
(1) Respond in writing within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of receipt of this notice to
acknowledge these requirements and the intent to comply.
(2) Self -evaluate the permit components that were not reviewed by DEQ for compliance and submit
the results within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days from the date of receipt of this letter.
The Part 11 of the MS4 Phase II Audit Template on the DEQ stormwater web site can be used for
this purpose. The specific sections that should be self -audited include:
a. Section C, Public Involvement and Participation;
b. Section F. Post -Construction Site Runoff Controls;
c. Section H: Total Maximum Daily Loads.
(3) Develop a Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) which details specific actions, measurable
goals, and implementation timelines for the stormwater management program over the new 5-
year permit term. The SWMP must be documented utilizing the DEQ Phase II MS4 SWMP
Template. The permittee shall submit the SWMP to DEQ for review and comment within one
hundred twenty (120) calendar days from the date of receipt of this letter.

(4) Submit an NPDES MS4 permit application for whichever comes first:
a. At least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to permit expiration, or
b. Within thirty (30) days of receiving written DEQ concurrence that the submitted SWMP
documents a compliant stormwater management program and the MS4 should submit the
application including a signed Final Draft SWMP. A new 5-year NPDES MS4 permit
will be public noticed along with the Draft Final SWMP.
(5) Respond to comments on the Draft Final SWMP and submit a signed Final SWMP for DEQ
approval and final permit issuance. The final DEQ-approved SWMP shall become an
enforceable component of the NPDES MS4 permit and an Annual Self -Assessment Template
that corresponds to the approved SWMP will be provided.
Required documentation shall be submitted via e-mail to Isaiah. Reed(44nedenngov, or to:
