Dear Mr. Vinson,
AUG 19 2020
Raleigh Regional Office
This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation for the SSO that occurred on 06/ 1212020. As stated in our 5-day report,
we received 5 inches of rain in a matter of 1 hour and 25 minutes. This extremely heavy rain caused the creek that runs
beside of the pump station at 1411 North Avenue to overflow out of its banks and into the pump station. We did not have
any kind of warning there would be such a bad storm that day, therefore there was nothing we could do to prepare to control
the creek coming out of the banks.
If you should have any questions following the receipt of my letter, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
Chris McCorquo le
