WATER MANAGEMENT
CITY OF DURHAM
November 18, 2022
The Water Specialist
Mr. Richard Broadwell
608 Cornerstone Court Hillsborough, NC 27278
Dear Mr. Broadwell,
Please find enclosed your Authorization to Discharge only domestic septage waste into the City of Durham's North and South
Water Reclamation Facilities. This discharge shall be between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., five days a week. Please
note the following as it pertains to the program:
• It has been brought to my attention that haulers still occasionally discharge at our facility and not clean the receiving area
adequately if at all. This is not acceptable. The nature of wastewater lends itself to be both an odor and health nuisance. It
places an undue burden on plant operational staff and your fellow haulers to clean. Facility staff will be systematically
checking for cleanliness of the discharge site. If a culprit is discovered, enforcement action(s) will betaken. Please be
reminded that personnel are to clean their shoes before entering any City of Durham site.
• It is the responsibility of the septage firm to update this office in regards to changes to contact information. My email
address is gerald.battle a,durhamnc.gov. Email is the fastest and most convenient way to communicate to the haulers. If I
do not have your correct e-mail address or contact information, please send it to the aforementioned e-mail or risk missing
critical information pertaining to the program for which you will be responsible.
• As a general reminder, the City reserves the right to reject any load if the ticket is incomplete (i.e., address or phone
number) or illegible. Please remember to present the ID Card with each dump. The City has the right of refusal if the
card is not provided. The cost of the initial replacement card is $75.00.
Please be reminded that the City of Durham extends this program as a courtesy and reserves the right of enforcement up to and
including (but not exclusively) fines and / or termination of the Authorization To Discharge for any violation.
Thank you for your continued support. If you have any questions or concerns, please give me a call at [phone] x. 35556.
Sincerely,
Gerald Tyrone Batt] ,Industrial Waste Control Manager —City of Durham
