RE: 2021 City of Roxboro Annual Report (NCS000547)
Dear Jeanette:
We are submitting this letter in response to the email dated June 16, 2021, regarding MS4 Annual
Reporting guidance.
On May 21, 2021, the staff from the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ)
conducted a compliance audit of the City of Roxboro's NPDES Municipal Separate Storm Water System
(MS4) Permit. The following minimum control measures were evaluated:
■ Program Implementation, Documentation & Assessment
• Public Education and Outreach
• Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
• Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
On July 22, 2021, DEQ issued a Notice of Compliance (NOC-2021-PC-0712) to the City of Roxboro.
The following actions were required:
1. Within 30 calendar days respond in writing to acknowledge these requirements and the intent
to comply. The City submitted the letter to comply on August 25, 2021
2. Develop a Draft Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP)
The SWMP is currently being reviewed and completed and is due on November 19, 2021,
3. Submit an NPDES MS4 permit application within 30 days of receiving written DEQ concurrence
that the submitted Draft SWMP documents a compliant stormwater management program.
The MS4 Permit Application as required by DEQ was submitted on August 23, 2021.

4. Respond to public comment on the DRAFT SWMP and submit a Final SWMP for DEQ approval
and final permit issuance. This action will be completed when guidance is received.
This letter describes the follow-up items that are currently being completed, and as requested it is the
DEQ required annual report for the City of Roxboro for the 2021 annual reporting period.
Should you have any additional questions please contact me at 336-599-5658.
