We have performed an administrative review of this report and offer the following comments. The annual report appears to include all of the required information and is considered administratively complete. We have attached a copy of the review checklist we utilized for this review for your reference. Additional information may be requested in the future as part of technical review, an inspection, or an audit. We did not perform a comprehensive technical review of this report. If there are any differences between the approved Storm Water Management Program (SWMP) and the information provided in this report or future reports, you must submit a notice of change (NOC) as required by the general permit. The annual report for the third permit year (August 13, 2009 through August 12, 2010) is due on November 12, 2010. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has an updated report form available, and we strongly encourage MS4 operators to continue to use the template in preparing and submitting subsequent reports. This wall greatly assist us in rovi- wing the reports, and will help to insure that we provide a timeiy response to permittees. Please make sure to also forward a copy of your annual reports to the TCEQ regional office. Finally, please be aware that discharges of the constituent(s) of concern to impaired water bodies for which there is a total maximum daily load (TMDL) implementation plan are not eligible for this general permit unless they are consistent with the approved TMDL and the implementation plan. Permitted MS4 operators must incorporate the limitations, conditions and requirements applicable to their discharges, including monitoring frequency and reporting required by TCEQ rules, into their SWMP in order to continue to be eligible for coverage under the general permit. If the discharge is no longer eligible for coverage under the general permit, then the MS4 operator would be required to apply for and receive an individual TPDES permit. P.O.
