Dear Jeanette:
We are writing this letter in response to the emails we received from you on April 7, 2021 and August 18,
2021 regarding the Town of Stallings Annual Reporting Instructions.
On August 6, 2020, staff from the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ)
conducted a compliance audit of the Town of Stallings National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit (Permit No. NCS000454). On
September 15, 2020, NCDEQ issued a Notice of Violation (NOV-2020-PC-0364) to the Town of
Stallings. The following actions were required:
1.Respond in writing within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of receipt of the notice to
acknowledge these requirements and the intent to comply.
On October 10, 2020, the Town of Stallings Engineer (Christopher Easterly, P.E.) provided a
letter acknowledging the NOV requirements and the intent to comply.
2.Adopt a Council Resolution within sixty (60) calendar days from the date of receipt of the notice.

The Draft SWMP was provided to NCDEQ by Christopher Easterly, P.E. and is currently
under review.
4.Submit an NPDES MS4 permit application within thirty (30) days of receiving written NCDEQ
