NPDES MS4 Permit No. NCS000428
Alamance County
Dear Mr. Clark,
The City of Burlington Stormwater Division received a Notice of Compliance for NPDES MS4 Permit No.
NCS000428 on November 18, 2022 following a compliance audit conducted on July 27, 2022. In
accordance with Part VI of the permit and DEQ policy, the City of Burlington intends to comply with the
following request:
1) Submit documentation for review and comment within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days
(March 18, 2023) from the date of receipt of this letter:
Conduct a self -audit which includes, at a minimum an evaluation of compliance with the
permit conditions found in Par II Section B: Public Education and Outreach; Section C:
Public Involvement and Participation; and Section E: Construction Site Runoff Control.
The self -audit must be documented utilizing the DEQ standard MS4 Permit Compliance
Audit Report Template.
Develop a Draft Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) which details specific actions,
measurable goals, and implementation timelines to bring the stormwater management
program into compliance with NPDES MS4 requirements over the new 5-year permit
term. The SWMP must address all known compliance deficiencies including, at a
minimum any items detailed in the DEQ MS4 Program Report and the City self -audit.
2) Submit an NPDES permit application within thirty (30) days of receiving written DEQ
concurrence that the submitted Draft SWMP documents a compliant stormwater management
program. A new 5-year NPDES MS4 permit will be public noticed along with the submitted
SWMP.
3) Respond to public comments on the Draft SWMP and submit a Final SWMP for DEQ approval
and final permit issuance. The final DEQ-approved SWMP shall become an enforceable
component of the NPDES MS4 permit.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at [e-mail].
