Dear Mr. Clark:
The NC Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has issued the attached final National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit to the
City of Newton. DEQ also hereby approves the submitted final Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP)
as prepared by WithersRavenel, and dated and signed by you on January 27, 2020. Please note that the
approved SWMP is an enforceable component of the subject permit.
With this issuance of the final NPDES MS4 permit and approval of the final SWMP, DEQ has
determined that the requirements of the Notice of Violation number NOV-2019-PC-0282, which was
issued to the City of Newton on April 24, 2019, have been met in full. NOV-2019-PC-0282 has been
closed.
The subject state NPDES MS4 permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General
Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the US
Environmental Protection Agency dated May 9, 1994, or as subsequently amended. If any parts
contained in this permit are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon
written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of
a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the
Office of Administrative Hearings, Post Office Drawer 27447, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7447.
Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding. This permit does not affect the
legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the other State, Federal or Local
Agency.
For future reference, the final NPDES MS4 Permit and approved final SWMP can be viewed in the DEQ
Stormwater Program Laserfiche Repository. A link to the repository is available on our web page at
