Mr. Reed,
Since the renewal of our MS4 Phase II permit in August 2023,the Town of Stallings has consistently
worked to achieve Permit Year 1 goals and planned for continued compliance for the remainder of
the permit cycle.The Town obtained the consultant Bolton &Menk, Inc.to conduct an internal audit
of the program which was completed in February 2024,which demonstrated significant effort
toward compliance and identified remaining needs.Subsequently,we have contracted the firm to
assist us in completing Permit Year 1 goals, including the development of an MS4 Administrative
Manual.This manual will include written procedures for all program components,to serve as a
reference and provide continuity for staff as the program continues to develop.Additionally,we
have identified support services and developed a detailed Fiscal Year 2024-2025 budget to achieve
Permit Year 2 goals.To ensure continued adequate program funding,Town Council approved an
increase in the Stormwater Utility Fund rate in the past year, and we have recently completed a
parcel analysis which will increase fee collections significantly.
Per our recent correspondence with you regarding Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) revisions,
we have elected to submit our Annual Report early and thus not all Permit Year 1 goals have been
completed to date, but will be prior to end of our permit year on July 31.Table 1 attached lists
Permit Year 1 goals with status of compliance as of June 14, 2024. Please note that several goals
will be completed with development of the MS4 Administrative Manual,which will be completed
prior to July 31.Table 1 also notes completed status of a few Permit Year 2 goals which we intend to
achieve during this permit year.
In consultation with Bolton &Menk following the internal audit,we propose revisions to our
approved Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP), summarized in Table 2 attached. Redline and
final draft of revised SWMP are also attached.The revisions include rescheduling some of the
Permit Year 2 goals to Permit Year 1, as noted above.We believe the revised plan still meets the
requirements and intent of our MS4 permit.
