Dear Lisa Joseph:
The Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR) has reviewed your request received on
July 9, 2024 for a determination that stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) 001 be granted Representative
Outfall Status for SDOs 001, 002, 003. Based on the information and site map provided as well as
observations made during a site visit conducted on October 23, 2023 by myself and Isaiah Reed, we are
hereby approving this request. In accordance with 40 CFR §122.21(g)(7), you are authorized to monitor
SDO 001 as a representative outfall. This approval is effective with the next sampling event. Please be
reminded that the permit requires Qualitative (visual) Monitoring to be performed at all SDOs, regardless
of representative outfall status.
Please append this letter to your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) to document that
representative outfall status has been approved. If changes in drainage areas, structures, processes,
storage practices, or other activities occur that significantly alter the basis of this approval, representative
outfall status is no longer valid. In that case, you should resume sampling at all SDOs, or reapply for
representative outfall status based on updated information. If you have any questions or concerns, please
contact me at(919) 707-3639 or via e-mail at [e-mail].
