Re: Notice of Violation (NOV-2019-PC-0284) STGRMWATER PtRivil7 ilNG
Dear Mrs. Powell,
This letter is intended to serve as the required response to items of the Notice of Violation (1), (2), and (3) outlined
in the NOV.
(1) The Town Council shall adopt a resolution demonstrating support for a compliant stormwater management
program. A sample council resolution with the minimum requirements is enclosed with this letter. The Town shall
have sixty (60) calendar days from the date of receipt of this letter to submit an original signed resolution to DEQ.
• The sample resolution has been placed on the June 111b agenda for adoption by the Town of
Maiden Council. Once adopted, the signed resolution will be sent to NCDEQ.
(2) The Town shall complete the following and submit documentation to DEQ for review and comment within
one hundred twenty (120) calendar days from the date of receipt of this letter:
a. Conduct a self -audit which includes, at a minimum, an evaluation of compliance with the permit
conditions found in Part II Section B: Public Education and Outreach; Section C, Public Involvement and
Participation; Section D: Construction Site Runoff Controls. The self -audit must be documented utilizing the DEQ
standard MS4 Permit Compliance Audit Report template.
The Town of Maiden contracts with the Western Piedmont Council of Governments for
assistance in aspects of the Public Education and Outreach, and Public Involvement and
Participation. Additionally, Construction Site Runoff Controls are inspected and reviewed by
Catawba County Erosion Control & Sedimentation Control for sites in the Town of Maiden.
The Town of Maiden will conduct a self -audit using DEQ standard MS4 Permit Compliance
Audit Report template for the permit conditions listed above and report those findings to
NCDEQ.
b. Develop a Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) which details specific actions, measurable goals,
and implementation timelines to bring the stormwater management program into compliance with NPDES MS4
requirements over a 5-year period. The SWMP must be documented utilizing the DEQ standard Phase II MS4 SWMP
template. The SWMP must address all known compliance deficiencies including, at a minimum, the items detailed
in the DEQ MS4 Program Audit Report and the self -audit.
• The Town of Maiden acknowledges the need for a Stormwater Management Plan and will
implement a SWMP based upon the sample SWMP which will be provided by NCDEQ. The
developed SWMP changes will acknowledge the findings from the Audit on December 13, 2018
and any needed changes noted from the conducted self -audit listed in (2)a. This SWMP will be
submitted to NCDEQ for review and comment.
(3) The Town shall submit an NPDES MS4 permit application within thirty (30) days of receiving written DEQ
concurrence that the submitted SWMP documents a compliant stormwater management program. A new 5-year

NPDES MS4 permit will be public noticed along with the submitted SWMP. The Town shall respond to public
comments on the Draft SWMP and shall submit a final SWMP for DEQ approval and final permit issuance. The final
DEQ-approved SWMP becomes an enforceable component of the NPDES MS4 permit.
• Once the Town of Maiden has received approval regarding the submitted SWMP from
NCDEQ the Town of Maiden will submit an NPDES MS4 permit application. The Town of
Maiden will respond to any comments on the Draft SWMP and resubmit to NCDEQ for a final
permit. We acknowledge that once approved, the SWMP becomes an enforceable component
of the NPDES MS4 permit.
