An audit of the Albuquerque MS4 program was conducted September 22, 2009, by the Environmental Protection Agency. During the course of that audit it was determined that the City of Albuquerque had failed to fully develop a stormwater program as required by the regulations and the permit. The City failed to develop, revise and implement it to determine its effectiveness and performance in reducing pollutants discharged in stormwater, among other deficiencies. An administrative order was issued October 25, 2011, to address the deficiencies and violations detected during the audit. The Order required correction of deficiencies and violations within ninety (90) days of receipt of the Order.
