This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation, Tracking # NOV-2020-DV-0052 concerning the spill
that occurred on December 13th, 2019 at 211 Swathmore Avenue, Guilford County, High Point, North
Carolina.
The spill at the above -mentioned address lasted for 47 minutes. Once'sthe crews arrived onsite at 211
Swathmore Avenue at 10:11am. The crews worked to unstop the sewer main using a sewer
combination cleaning truck. It was determined that the blockage was caused by a large amount of
grease that had built up in the invert of the manhole. Once the spill was knocked down all solids were
removed, and lime was spread over the area. The mini basin feeding the lift station was cleaned to
prevent another repeat spill. The frequency of cleaning has been increased to help prevent any future
spills in this area.
If you have any questions or require further information, please feel free to call me at [phone].
Sincerely,
Joseph P. Holden
