Under <br />Minnesota Rules, an application for permit reissuance is to be submitted at least 180 days before the <br />expiration date of the existing permit. <br />Application for coverage under the reissued MS4 General Permit will be done in two parts. First, <br />permittees need to reapply for coverage before the existing Permit expires. Enclosed is a copy of the <br />application for reissuance of the MS4 General Permit. The permit application fee is $400.00; there is no <br />annual permit fee. The new fee is due to rule changes in 2010 that require a permit application fee for <br />coverage under an 1VIS4 Permit (see Minn. R. 7002.0254). You will receive an acknowledgement letter <br />from the MPCA notifying you that we have received your complete application including the permit <br />application fee. <br />Second, permittees will need to submit additional information required by the reissued MS4 General <br />Permit. After the Permit is reissued, you will receive information from the MPCA regarding the <br />additional information you will need to submit. This will include information about your Stormwater <br />Pollution Prevention Program, limitations of coverage (e.g. Outstanding Resource Value Waters, Special <br />Waters, Wetlands, and other requirements such as Environmental Review), and a signed certification <br />regarding the additional information to be submitted to the MPCA. <br />Lastly, further information on reissuance of the MS4 General Permit is available on the MPCA Municipal <br />Stormwater Web site at: <br />http://www.pca. state.mn.us/index.php/water/water-types-and-programs/stormwater/municipal- <br />stormwater/ms4- eg_neral-permit-reissuance-2011.htm1 <br />If you have any questions regarding the application, please contact Scott Fox at 651-757-2368, <br />Amy Garcia at 651-757-2377 or Joyce Cieluch at 218-846-8126. <br />Sincerely, <br />Dale Thompson <br />Supervisor, 1Vlunicipal Stormwater Unit <br />Stormwater Section <br />Municipal Division <br />Enclosure <br />St. Paul ~ Brainerd ~ Detroit Lakes ~ Duluth ~ Mankato ~ Marshall ~ Rochester ~ Willmar ~ Printed on 100% post-consumer recycled paper <br />
