Snider, Regional Supervisor Water Quality Regional Operations Section Winston Salem Regional Office Division of Water Resources Subject: Notice of violation & intent to issue civil penalty Tracking No. NOV-2022-DV-0304 Randleman Collection System Collection Permit No. WQCS00099 Mr. Snider, CITY ADMINISTRATION WILLIAM JOHNSON City Manager VACANT Finance Director CONNIE CROSS Interim City Clerk On November 6, 2022 the City of Randleman (the City) received a Notice of Violation (NOV) related to the above tracking number. This letter responds to the NOV issued to the City of Randleman and the Randleman Collection System. The SSO occurred on September 30, 2022 and was alleviated within one hour of its discovery. This event was caused by the events surrounding hurricane Ian. Many areas of the City of Randleman lost power multiple times throughout the day on September 30, 2022 and experienced heavy rainfall totaling .9 inches in less than 3 hours. We feel that a civil penalty will only hinder our efforts to make upgrades and improve our system. Additionally, further financial burden on our system will only make it harder for us to responsibly operate our system and maintain compliance. Because this was a one-time event caused by a natural disaster and the potential financial burden, I respectfully ask that you consider not issuing a civil penalty. If you have any questions, please contact me.
