In the course of evaluating Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs) recently reported by the Town of Taylorsville, we have
experienced difficulties in determining how the Town and its satellite sewer systems are managed. Specifically, it is
unclear to us precisely who is responsible for each individual system OR whether it is indeed one system.
We would greatly appreciate receiving from you a written description of the entire system (including all satellite
systems) that details ownership and management responsibilities.
If we could receive this written detail by July 1, 2016, it would be most appreciated.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at your convenience at 704-235-2194 or [e-mail]

A review has been conducted of Town of Taylorsville Public Works' self reported
Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs) 5-Day Report(s) for July 2009. This review has shown Town
of Taylorsville to be in violation of the requirements found in Collection System Permit
WQCS00135 and/or G.S. 143-215.1(a)(1). The violations that occurred during July 2009 are
summarized in Attachment A.
Remedial and corrective actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to prevent
further SSOs. As of December 1, 2007, any reportable SSO may be issued a Notice of Violation
(NOV) and_some may be assessed a civil penalty. Civil penalties will be issued for SSOs based
on volume, volume reaching surface waters, duration and gravity, impacts to public health, fish
kills, and recreational area closures. Other factors considered in determining the amount of the
civil penalty are the violator's history of spills, the cost of rectifying the damage, whether the
spill was intentional, and whether money was saved by non-compliance.

Dear Mr. Krebs,
The SSO report sheet for Northwood Park Pumping Station should be self explanatory.
However, we realize that five (5) separate incidents within a few years at the same station is
excessive. The Town of Taylorsville has been actively correcting troubled spots on our entire
infrastructure; particularly the area noted in the vicinity of Northwood Park. This rehab involves
slip -lining, pipe -bursting, as well as grouting and epoxy -coating 100+ manholes within our
system.
A great deal of our problem is the issue of inflow and infiltration leading to the
Northwood Station. This rehab has been underway for several months now, and is a huge step
forward in attempting to resolve the SSO's at this station. As you are aware, grants and monies
for water and sewer improvements are hard to come by in the troubled financial days we are
faced with, but we are actively utilizing what funds we have to prevent inflow, sand, silt, and
grit from reaching the Northwood Park Station in an attempt to stop all SSO's as quickly as
possible.
The Town of Taylorsville has received a Rural Center Grant for gravity line rehabilitation
in the Northwood area which is currently underway. The Clean Water Management Trust Fund
was applied for in February, and they have not responded as yet (possibly due to budget cuts).
These funds (if acquired) are intended to construct a new Northwood Pump Station, as well as
continue the rehabilitation of the Town's aging sewer infrastructure.
The Town of Taylorsville feels that we are making every effort possible to remediate this
situation. If you have any more questions regarding our efforts please call me at your
convenience. Thank you.
Sincerely,
David M. Robinette -Public Works Director

Mr. Krebs,
The fractured force main located between the prison access road and Glade Creek near
the Alexander Prison Unit was repaired within hours of the same day the SSO occurred (as
reported in the SSO report). A pumping truck was in place within the hour of the first
knowledge of the SSO to prevent any additional sewage from leaving the excavation hole or the
Prison Pump Station. There was no additional spillage of sewer water either on the ground or
into the creek soon after the pump truck arrived; therefore there was no need for a 5-day
tabulation of volume reaching surface waters (4,000 gal was the entire estimated total based
on scada flow data for that force main).
Attached is a copy of our most recent compliance inspection report as conducted by Mrs.
Barbara Sifford of the Mooresville Regional Office In May of 2009. The letter notes that
although the Town of Taylorsville is contracted to maintain the Prison Pump Station and lines,
the infrastructure is owned by the State of North Carolina, and not the Town of Taylorsville.
There is no evidence that the force main fracture was due to negligence on the Town's part;
therefore the Town believes it responded promptly to this SSO, and used reasonable judgment
and care in resolving this issue. The entire infrastructure within the Prison property is only
eight years old, and appears to be in very good condition. We attribute this line failure to water
hammer, and have asked our engineers to look into possible ways to resolve this in the future.
The check valves within the Prison Pump station were inspected, and operated properly both
before and after this SSO. The Town feels that any fines as a result of this SSO should be
waived because of the unpredictability of this SSO, coupled with the reasonable care taken in
our quick response and clean-up in this matter. We believe that this SSO was not a
preventative maintenance issue on our part; just a situation that occurred beyond our control.
If you have any further questions contact me at 828-632-2218.

Mr. David Robinette

I have read and understood our permit and it's requirements and feel that our 5-
day response information was adequate considering how our permit reads. Here is some
additional information about our collection system maintenance and mapping. The Town
of Taylorsville will continue to strive for optimal collection system operation in
accordance with State guidelines. Hopefully this letter will address any additional
concerns that your office may have.
Attached are copies of our Collection System Operation & Maintenance divided
into four (4) sections for 2008. This plan includes pump station contingency plan for
emergency situations, and our 24 hour response plan for repairing of any leaks or sewer
overflows. Also, I have included the onsite test sheet that includes results from both
upstream and downstream tests performed on Stirewalt Creek shortly after the overflow.
If you have any further questions please contact me at your convenience at 828-
632-2218. Thank you.

Mr. David Odom
Town of Taylorsville

Taylorsville, NC 28681
Dear Mr. Odom:
William G. Ross Jr., Secretary
North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
Coleen H. Sullins, Director
Division of Water Quality
December 12, 2007
Subject: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Tracking #NOV-2007-DV-0318
Collection System Permit
Number WQCS00135
Town of Taylorsville, Alexander County
A review has been conducted of the Town .of Taylorsville's self reported Sanitary Sewer
Overflows (SSOs) 5-Day Report(s). This review has shown Taylorsville to be in violation of the
requirements found in Collection System Permit WQCS00135 and/or G.S. 143-215.1(a)(1). The
violations that occurred during November 2007 are listed in Attachment A.
Remedial and corrective actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to prevent further
SSOs. Please note that due to the continued high numbers of SSOs in North Carolina the Division of
Water Quality has implemented a new SSO enforcement policy. Beginning June 1, 2007, until December
1, 2007, any reportable SSO may be issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) and some may be assessed a civil
penalty. Beginning on December 1, 2007, civil penalties will be issued for SSOs based on volume,
volume reaching surface waters, duration and gravity, impacts to public health, fish kills, and recreational
area closures. Other factors considered in determining the amount of the civil penalty are the violator's
history of spills, the cost of rectifying the damage, whether the spill was intentional, and whether money
was saved by non-compliance.
After December 1, 2007 the SSOs highlighted in Attachment A are those that the regional office
has determined, after review of the CS-SSO 5-day report, that would have resulted in a civil penalty
assessment. You will have 10 days from receiving a Notice of Violation letter to provide any additional
justification as to why these spills do not meet the criteria listed in this letter for civil penalty assessment
beginning in January 2008.
If you have any questions regarding this policy please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Barbara
Sifford or myself at 704-663-1699.
