Additional Information Request
Dear Lee:
After a review of your permit application materials, I found that with changes to Stormwater
Management Plan identified herein, there is sufficient content to continue with the review and drafting of
your permit.
The Town's Stormwater Management Program should include a BMP to develop and
maintain internet web site, or provide an alternative process, to post newsletter articles on
stormwater, information on water quality, stormwater projects and activities, and ways to
contact stormwater management program staff.
2. The Town's Stormwater Management Program should ensure an ongoing process is in place to
establish a citizens' group(s), or provide an alternative process, for ongoing input on
stormwater issues and the stormwater program.
Enclosed for your review and comment is a preliminary draft Phase 11 NPDES Stormwater Permit
for the Town of Waynesville. We believe that this draft permit will provide your community with the
flexibility vital for your community, while at the same time safeguarding and protecting our natural
environment for future generations of North Carolinians.
Please provide the additional information requested and your comments on the preliminary draft
permit by Friday, September 9, 2005, We would like to incorporate as many revisions as possible before
the public notice. You will also have an opportunity to submit comments during the public comment
period. If you have any questions, concerns, or suggested revisions about the preliminary draft permit
don't hesitate to contact me at [phone], ext. 545.
Sincerely,

2. BMPs for Construction Site Runoff..ControW- `
The permittee relies on the NCDENR iSioLand Resources (DLR) Erosion and Sediment
Control Program to comply with thisjminimum:measure.
The NCDENR Division of Land Resources%Erosion and Sediment Control Program effective
meets the requirements of the Consfruc on Site Runoff Controls by permitting and controlling
development activities disturbing one or more acres of land surface and those activities less than
one acre that are part of a larger common plan of development. This program is authorized under
the Sediment pollution Control Act of 1973 and Chapter 4 of Title 15A of the North Carolina
Administrative Code. This program includes procedures for public input, sanctions to ensure
compliance, requirements for construction site operators to implement appropriate erosion and
sediment control practices, review of site plans which incorporates consideration of potential
