SANITARY SEWER OVERFLOW AND SPILL RESPONSE ACTION PLAN
Hem by Sanitary Sewer Collection System
WQCS00233
A Sanitary Sewer Overflow(SSO) can endanger the environment and affect the health of
individuals and wildlife that come in contact. It is the policy of our company that all SSO's be
investigated immediately and actions taken to prevent or minimize all environmental impact.
The public should contact our 24-hour customer service number at 1-800-525-7990 and provide
as much information as possible on the location of the problem. On-call staff will be dispatched
immediately for full investigation. This number will reach our office during normal business
hours and then an emergency call service center after normal business hours. Available and
current on-call staff information is always kept ensuring that appropriate staff can be dispatched
immediately.
Any operations employee that comes across an SSO should contact the Operating Manager,Area
Manager or Regional Manager immediately and take immediate action to assess,minimize,
prevent, or mitigate any such event.
The local Operating Manager and ORC of the system will be the primary interface between the
company and the NC Dept. of Environment and Natural Resources,Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) and county health department(if required). The appropriate manager will follow the
current and then in place SSO reporting policy as designated by DWQ (see attached reporting
form) or any other regulatory agency having jurisdiction. As of the writing of this document.
• Report any spill of 1,000 gallons or more; and
• Any spill, regardless of the volume, if any waste reaches the surface waters of the State.
Any conveyances such as drainage ditches or storm sewers are considered waters of the
State.
1) Report by telephone to a person(not a fax or voicemail)to the Mooresville Regional
DWQ Office at 704-663-1699 during normal business hours(Monday through Friday, 8
•4944 Parkway Plaza Blvd.Ste 375 • Charlotte,North Carolina 28217 • 800-525-7990
am to 5 pm)as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours after the SSO is
known or discovered. To report outside of regular business hours,call(800) 858-0368.
2) Follow up the verbal report by sending the completed written report using the attached
form or most current within five days.
3) If the discharge involves 1,000 gallons or more AND reaches surface waters, a press
release must be issued within 48 hours of first notification. If the discharge is 15,000
gallons or more, a public notice must be published within 10 days and proof of
publication shall be provided to DWQ within 30 days.
Containment Procedures
As soon as an employee arrives at the site of the SSO,he/she shall use whatever means necessary
to contain the spill as to prevent it from reaching surface waters. If there is no danger or
potential of the SSO reaching surface waters,the SSO should be contained in as small an area as
possible but use of any means possible such as construction of dams, ditches, checks etc. The
sewage contained or collected shall be returned to the sewer system or taken to the WWTP by
pumps,pumper trucks or other available means.
If possible, a blocked or damaged section of collection main should be bypassed around the
problem area using transfer pumps from an upstream manhole into a downstream manhole. The
damaged main section should be plugged if possible,to prevent waste from entering the problem
area.
The area should be sectioned off to prevent any unauthorized person from entering the
contaminated area.
Blockage Correction
Employees should treat a reported blockage with utmost urgency to prevent any spill or backup
from causing environmental or home damage. The first person on site should try to assess the
problem and determine if flow can be maintained or restored using temporary pump bypass or
other means, of if the problem area can be blocked off and the waste transported from a manhole
to the WWTP using a pump or pumper truck. Contractors should be called immediately, and
employee should stay on site or within close distance to assist with emergency work.
Containment and bypass equipment and measures shall remain on site until the blockage is
corrected.
Clean up
Remove all debris such as plastic, paper, or other materials from the site, bag or place in a
container and dispose of properly in dumpster at WWTP site.
Clean or wash area thoroughly and return this water to the sewer system or treatment plant. If on
soil or dirt, apply a liberal layer of white hydrated lime to raise the pH and kill pathogenic
organisms and to treat for odor. Apply straw and grass seed if appropriate.
If the SSO reaches surface waters, every effort should be made to contain the spill area by use of
dams near a manhole or area accessible to a pumper truck and mobile equipment. The contained
area should be pumped back into the sewer system. Two employees or one employee and a
contractor shall be present at all time while pump is operated. Backhoe or other equipment
should be available to help maintain earthen dams until clean-up efforts are complete.
If possible,the area should be flushed with potable water and that water also returned to the
sewer system. The operator should try and use a broom or other measures to agitate sludge on
the bottom during the pumping and cleaning efforts to make sure it is all retrieved. Rocks and
riprap should be washed of residue.
If surface waters are used for drinking source or recreation, additional measures must be taken to
notify local health departments.
Water samples to include dissolved oxygen and fecal bacteriological samples should be taken
frequently before clean-up,during and after clean-up. In addition, samples should be taken
upstream and downstream of the affected area.
Spare Parts and Equipment List
Portable trailer mounted generator to operate pump stations and/or electrical equipment in the
event of power loss or in remote locations. This will be always kept in good running order at the
WWTP location.
Common parts such as electrical components such as elapsed time meters,voltage phase
monitors etc. are kept in stock at the Charlotte Operations Warehouse and can be always
accessed by a supervisor.
White hydrated lime will be kept on hand at the WWTP for spill abatement.
Normal hand tools such as shovels,rakes etc.will be kept on the Operator's truck or at the
WWTP.
The ORC or Operating Manager must be familiar with all pumping equipment brands and have
means to contact a distributor or representative for expedited parts.

Sanitary Sewer Collection System Permit WQCS00233
Mission Statement
1. Carolina Water Service Inc. of NC (CWSNC)owns, operates, and maintains the
sanitary sewer collection system serving the Hemby Acres communities located in
Union County,NC. CWSNC is an investor-owned public utility and is committed
to providing safe,reliable and cost-effective service to our customers and with the
underlying commitment to act with integrity,protect the environment and
enhance the communities we serve. CWSNC works to maintain the system and
meet customer growth expectations and regulatory requirements in a financially
responsible manner. As a privately owned public utility, CWSNC is regulated
through the NC Utilities Commission.
Description of Systems
2. The service area currently is comprised of 664 sewer residential customers. The
system is comprised of approximately 7.8 miles of gravity sewer collection mains;
1.25 miles of pressure force main, (4)pump stations and a 0.300 MGD extended
aeration wastewater treatment plant.
Objective of Plan
3. To insure a normal level of service in the event of a lift station pump failure while
protecting the environment. CWSNC is financially capable of making any and all
emergency repairs immediately and takes immediate action any time the system
may be compromised in order to protect the system integrity,the environment and
to meet regulatory requirements.
'Criteria for Invoking the plan:
4. One or more pump failures or loss of power to any or all lift station
Roles,Responsibilities,and Authority

located in the system. The major station WWTP has an onsite generator which
will start automatic in case of power failure. If all lift stations are without power,
the Area Manager will establish a rotation schedule based upon the capacity in the
wet wells and storage in the lines to rotate the generators between the lift stations.
One Pump Failure—Should one pump fail in the duplex stations;the operator is
to contact the necessary contractor from the contractors list and arrange to have
the pump checked immediately. Should the pump need to be replaced,the
operator should check the spare parts inventory and have installed, should one be
available. The other pump should be sent to a repair facility for a repair cost
estimate. The station should be checked daily until such time the pump can be
repaired or replaced.
Dual Pump Failure—Should both pumps fail in the duplex stations,the operator
is to contact the necessary contractors from the contractors list and arrange to
have the pumps checked immediately and/or to rent a portable pump if needed.
Should the pump need to be replaced,the operator should check the spare parts
inventory and have a pump installed, should one be available. The other pumps
should be sent to a repair facility for a repair cost estimate.The station should be
checked daily until such time that both pumps can be repaired and replaced.If
needed a vacuum pump truck should be called from the contractors list to prevent
all overflows.
8. Criteria for Returning to normal operation mode:
Electricity returned to all stations and all lift station pumps are operational.
9. Post Contingency Plan:
The Area Manager will meet with personnel who assisted in operating this plan
to evaluate how well it worked.If necessary, changes will be made for any future
emergencies.
