Dear Mr. Krebs,
March 31 2009'"
API — 2 2009
M—Surf0ce Weer N 1�(;blbni
We are in receipt of your letter concerning the above referenced item. We believe due to our timely
response and the fact that the discharge was exceptional, unintentional, temporary and caused by
factors beyond our control a civil penalty would not be considered.
We received a telephone call from Union County Police Department about a manhole overflowing in
the street on Hemby Wood Drive at approximately 5:00pm on 2/08/09. Our on call staff was
immediately dispatched and was on site within one hour. The 8" sewer main was determined to have a
blockage due to rags and feminine hygiene products. The operator contacted a company to have the
line jet cleaned and vacuumed. The blockage was cleared and the overflow was stopped at
approximately 8:00pm on 2/08/09. The overflow did reach surface water but there was no impact to the
stream or fish kills of any kind.
The sewer main on Hemby Wood Drive has been cleaned in the past as part of the collections systems
10 % annual sewer maintenance cleaning. We have never had any prior problems with overflows or
blockages on this particular street. All areas were properly cleaned and lime applied to the affected
areas. There was no impact to public health and no public recreational areas were closed due to the
location of the spillage.
Should you have any further questions or if I can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to
contact me at 704-525-7990 ext 218.
Sincerely
Anthony J Konsul
