This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation, Case No NOV-2021-DV-0139 concerning the spill that
occurred on November 12th, 2020 at 3815 Tinsley Drive Guilford County, High Point, North Carolina.
This above spill was due to widespread flooding across Guilford County caused by tropical storm Eta.
During this event there was up to 5 inches of rain that fell within a 24-hour period. Most rivers and
streams where flooded due to the heavy rain. This location is being reviewed by our engineering
department to help with flooding and other issues to create a plan to prevent any future spills in this
area. We do believe this was an occurrence was due to the amount of rain that fell in such a short
period of time. The area was cleaned once the water receded and since the event we haven't had any
issues.
If you have any questions or require further information, please feel free to call me at [phone].
Sincerely,
Michael S. Parrish
