Sanitary Sewer Overflow —July, 2022
Collection System Permit No. WQCS00018
Eden Collection System
Rockingham County
Dear Mr. Snider,
This letter is in response to a Notice of Intent to Issue Civil Penalty that has been issued against the City
of Eden Collection System Permit No. WQCS00018 as of August 23, 2022 for incident number
202201196
Incident number 202201196 concerns a sanitary sewer overflow that occurred on July 27, 2022 from
the force main servicing the City of Eden's Rail Road Pump Station. This sanitary sewer pump station is
located at 11540 NC 770. Approximately 1,000 gallons of untreated sewage was released reaching Dry
Creek. The cause of the overflow was unfortunately cause by the aging line.
We have had a few meetings on the subject, looking to replace some of our aging system so as to not
have the repeated issues.
The City of Eden takes sanitary sewer overflows seriously and is doing everything it can to eliminate
them.
Please take these facts into consideration when deciding what action to take.
Sincerely,

Mike T. Vernon
O.R.C. City of Eden Collection System
