City of Belmont - WQC500046
Dear Mr. Basinger:
The City of Belmont is in receipt of the above NOV's and as required by your letter, our
response to the violations are as follows:
Incident # 202000216- This overflow incident, located at a manhole near 1711 Cardinal Court,
was the result of rags blocking the main. City crews responded to reports of the overflow and
immediately, the crews cleared the line of the rags, via the use of our vacuum truck. Lime was
applied to the area around the manhole after incident.
On behalf of the City of Belmont, our crews responded to the overflow as soon as the incident
was reported and began the process of removing the obstruction. Once the repair was
completed, our crews cleaned the area and lime was applied to the affected area. The POTW
also went door to door to deliver educational material to each resident within the affected area
and the surrounding contributing areas as well. We have requested that this section of main be
rehabilitated. This project request is currently on the FY: 2020-2021 Capital Improvements
Program for the City of Belmont. Please see attachment.
Incident # 202000464- This overflow incident, located at the manhole at the intersection of Volk
Street and Riverside Drive, was due very heavy rains, approximately 3.6"in a four-hour period.
City crews responded to this overflow immediately and found no obstructions in the upstream
or downstream piping.
On behalf of the City of Belmont, a replacement of 1000' feet of piping with a Iarger diameter
pipe, has been requested for this area. This project has been slated for the FY: 2020-2021 Capital
Improvements Program for the City of Belmont. The replacement of this 8" section of main with
a larger diameter pipe will allow for better handling of heavy wet weather events in the future.
Please see attachment.

Sincerely;
Charles B. Flo ers, Jr.
