In the attached email dated 25 April 2022 Ms. Powell indicated that your office just needs the application and not the draft SWMP as the SWMP is already on file. A hard copy is, nonetheless, provided with the application as requested on the form, but an electronic copy is not. Please advise if one is needed as it can be easily emailed. The Town’s draft SWMP was submitted to DEQ for review on 16 March 2021 and it is my understanding that that we are in the queue with a review anticipated not earlier than June 2022. The Town has not made any changes to the draft as we are awaiting that review and any comments by your office. I respectfully request that this application be accepted by your office even though it is being submitted after the normal deadline. I have been in communication with Ms. Powell routinely over the last year regarding our NPDES permit and our draft SWMP with an expectation that DEQ’s work would be completed in time for a new permit to be issued to replace the current one that happened to expire in February 2022. We did not appreciate that a separate renewal application also needed to be submitted until the Town was made aware of that on April 22, 2022. Please let me know if you need any other documentation from the Town related to its MS4 NPDES permit, or any other matter pending with your division of DEQ related to the Town of Weaverville.
