WASTE WATER SPILL POLICY AND PROCEDURES
OVERVIEW
The Town of Bladenboro has many miles of sanitary sewer lines throughout the to'vn and
surrounding area. These lines are used to collect sewage from homes,businesses and
industry and carry it to the town's wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) for processing.
The town also maintains 2 sewer lift stations to assist in the transport of this sewage.
With 2 lift stations and many miles of sewer lines, the town recognizes the potential for a
sewer spill or overflow. It is our goal to prevent such a spill or overflow from occurring.
The purpose of this document is to formulate a policy for responding to such an event
should it happen.
A. SEWER SPILL RESPONSE PLAN
The sewer spill response plan lists the personnel to be notified of a sewer spill, the
( equipment available to respond to the problem, the location of the equipment and
additional resources that may be utilized.
After the spill has been contained and an evaluation of the situation has been performed,
if the volume of the spill exceeds 1,000 gallons a report will be made to the state. The
state will be notified of any spills that exceed 1,000 gallons as soon as possible after the
spill is discovered but in no case later than 24 hours.
B. SPILL REPORTING/RECORDING
A sewage spill response evaluation form (Attachment 1) will be completed and a copy
forwarded to the state as soon as the situation is under control and a copy kept on file.
Should the spill be less than 1,000 gallons, a sewage response evaluation will be
completed and kept on file with the town. These records will be kept for a period of three
years.
C. TRAINING OF STAFF
All personnel in the town's maintenance department will be made aware of the contents
.of the Sewer Spill Response Plan and the requirements of the plan. Further, all
appropriate personnel will be trained on an annual basis to insure that they are aware of

the procedures outlined in this document and that they are familiar with the location and
operation of any tools or equipment that is necessary to respond to a sewer spill.
D. COLLECTION LINES AND RIGHT OF WAY INSPECTION
All lines in the collection system will be inspected on an annual basis. This will also
include all manholes. The following areas are sometimes difficult to access and will
therefore be considered high priority. These lines and any manholes therein,will be
inspected quarterly in January, April, July and October.
1. The area between Pine Ridge Circle and the WWTP
2. The area between Maintenance Shop and the WWTP
3. The area between South Ash Street and the WWTP
Gj W —ttfR d.1- c. .. Psv' C k••.v e G' .
E. MAINTENANCE /REPAIR RECORDS
A Wastewater Collection System Inspection Log will be used to document quarterly and
annual inspections of the collection system and manholes. A Wastewater Collections
Maintenance Log will be used to record routine maintenance performed on the sewer
lines and manholes. A Wastewater Collections Trouble Log will be used to track any
reports of problems in the collection system, including complaints from private citizens.
These records will be kept on file for at least three years.
F. LINE CLEANING
We currently plan to clean at least 10% of our system each year. Problems areas may
require additional or unscheduled cleaning. Also, areas that serve restaurants or any other
customer who may introduce grease, fats or oils into the system will be monitored and
cleaned as needed.
G. LIFT STATIONS
The town maintains 2 lift stations. Both lift stations are inspected daily. A lift station
inspection log is maintained by the appropriate personnel. Since there is not a building to
house the lift station log in at both lift stations, the log is maintained in the inspector's
vehicle.

II. RIGHT OF WAY MAINTENANCE
Every effort will be made to clear,mow and remove any obstructions in the sewer line
right of ways two times per year. However,maintenance will be performed a minimum of
at least once a year.
I. SPARE PARTS INVENTORTY AND VENDOR LIST
A list of vendors who are able to supply replacement parts for each lift station should be
maintained. Also, a list of contractors who are capable of providing professional advice
or service should be maintained. Whenever possible an inventory of critical spare parts
should be maintained, in case a failure occurs after normal working hours.

STANDARD SPILL RESPONSE
The first person to respond to the scene of a spill should assess the situation, determine
the severity of the spill and contact the Maintenance Supervisor as soon as possible. The
Supervisor will determine the cause of the spill and contact the appropriate personnel.
Every effort will be made to contain the spill in the immediate area. Once the spill is
contained any standing water will be pumped either back into the collection system or
into a tank for transport to the WWTP. The problem that caused the spill will be
corrected as soon as possible. Once the source of the spill has been contained, clean up of
the effected area can begin. Lime will be applied to the effected area. If necessary the soil
in the effected area can be removed and transported to the WWTP for drying then it can
be hauled to the county landfill for disposal.

If the spill occurs on asphalt or concrete:
1. Set up containment around the spill and establish containment around any drainage
pipes that may be close to the spill area. Do not let the spill enter a ditch, drainage line or
any body of water.
2. Barricade the area so that no unauthorized personnel will enter the effected area.
3. Spread lime or sand on the spill to a depth on 1 inch. Let this stand for 1 hour then
remove. If necessary repeat the process.
4. After removing the spill,wash the effected area with high pressure water and Clorox.
Pump this back into the sewer system. Transport wet sand and lime to the WWTP for
drying then to the county landfill for disposal.
5. If spill enters a creek, ditch, etc. see creek procedure below.
If the spill enters a creek:
1. Set up a dam downstream of the area where the spill entered the stream. If possible,
the dam needs to be constructed near a manhole or in an area that is accessible to a
vacuum truck. This location will aid in the quick, safe removal of the effected water.
Station the backhoe, pump and extra material near the dam in order to respond to a dam
failure.
• 2. Pump the spilled material from the dam into the collection system or a tank.
3. Barricade the area so that no unauthorized personnel will enter the effected area.
4. Flush the creek area with clean water from the sewer machine or a hydrant to remove
any waste product from the area. Continue to flush and pump from the area until fecal
coliform readings indicate an acceptable level. Samples should be taken from upstream
and downstream of the spill/containment area.
5. Wash down any rock, stone, rip rap or other material that is in the effected area.
6. If sludge is in the creek bottom, broom creek sides and bottom until sludge is removed.
•
7. If creek flows into a body of water that is used for fishing, recreation or drinking water
notify the appropriate local, county and state official as soon as possible.
