requirements and the intent to comply.
(2) Adopt a Council Resolution within sixty (60) calendar days from the date of receipt of this notice. The
resolution must declare support for a compliant stormwater management program. A sample council resolution
with the minimum requirements is enclosed with this letter. An original signed document must be submitted to
DEQ.
(3) Submit documentation for review and comment within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days from the date of

conditions found in Part II Section B: Public Education and Outreach; Section C, Public Involvement and
Participation; Section D: Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination; Section F: Post -Construction Site

documented utilizing the DEQ standard MS4 Permit Compliance Audit Report Template.
b. Develop a Draft 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 the new 5-year permit term. The SWMP must be documented utilizing
the DEQ 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.
(4) Submit an NPDES MS4 permit application within thirty (30) days of receiving written DEQ concurrence that the

permit will be public noticed along with the submitted SWMP.
(5) Respond to public comments on the Draft SWMP and submit a Final SWMP for DEQ approval and final permit
issuance. The final DEQ-approved SWMP shall become an enforceable component of the NPDES MS4 permit.
Our records indicate that the Notice of Violation was received on August 5, 2019.
It is urgent that you respond to this matter as soon as possible.
Please let me know if you have any questions,
Isaiah
