Town of Clayton Collection System Permit Number WQCS00110
Dear Mr. Vinson:
The following information is provided in response to your letter of May 10, 2022, that was received May 16, 2022,
related to the Town of Clayton's actions to correct, and prevent future SSO occurrences:
Incident Number 202200677
This SSO was caused by a contractor working on installation of a 20-inch water main for Johnston County Public
Utilities along the right of way in front of 8368 US Business Highway 70 West. The contractor contacted Johnston
County Public Utilities to shut their pump station off and was able to contain all the released untreated wastewater in
their ditch by building a dam and blocking all culverts with non -contaminated soil. The Town was then able to pump
out the ditch utilizing our vac -trucks and haul it to Little Creek Water Reclamation Facility. The repair was made,
and the affected area was treated with lime and returned to its normal state with no negative affects to the environment.
Please contact me if any additional information is required at this time. Thank you for the attention provided to our
response.
Sincerely,
r

Wink with Johnston County Utilities called and informed me that Sanford Contracting hit our 10" force main in
front of Grifols at 1154am, I contacted Travis and had him head to the site, he arrived at 1215pm and
informed me that the contractor had contained the leak to their ditch and damned up all storm culverts to
prevent it from leaving the area and entering into any surface water. We utilized our vactrucks and pumped
out all of the WW and returned it back to the system at the Little Creek WWTP for a total of 9 truck loads. I
contacted DWR at 123pm and informed them of the spill, incident # 202200677. Sanford Contracting assisted
us by utilizing their equipment to dig out the ditch and exposing the broken pipe. The county was able to shut
the station down and divert flow to our lift station, ECIA.
By Blalock, James : 4/28/2022 6:50:16 PM
When I returned to shop, I filled out the spill report, drafted the press release letter and sent to the SSO
release group to stay in compliance with the state requirements of reporting.
