When major storms or station failures occur the operators of the pump stations often have little time to develop solutions or repair equipment before there is a significant overflow and bypass of raw sewage into the environment. These procedures were developed to outline and codify some of the basic responses by operators in emergency situations. Only Trained Personnel Should Attempt Repairs to Mechanical and Electrical Equipment High Flow (storm) Situations • The ORC and collection system personnel must watch the weather reports (use the NWS website) in the preceding days and prepare accordingly for any oncoming storms o Each available collection system employee must be alerted to possibility of emergency overtime work • When larger than normal storms are forecasted our ORC and Fearrington Utilities emergency personnel are on call to schedule any of our contractors needed for repairs, etc. • Check fuel tanks for standby generators and order fuel if necessary. Pump Station Failure • All pump stations are equipped alarm dialers to monitors pump stations around the clock. Set point for low and high-water thresholds are set to alert appropriate personnel of pump station failure. • If a crew visit is warranted, upon arrival at the pump station, a determination is made as to what extent of action is required. Staff preforms the necessary actions to return the pump station to normal operations. • If an overflow has occurred, staff carries out provisions for containment, reporting and cleanu p• CONTINGENCIES FOR PUMP STATION POWEROUTAGES AND FAILURES • Fearrington Utilities has a backup generator at each station that comes on automatically if the power goes out. • Fearrington Utilities has a contractor on call that can provide us with a portable pump in the event the generator does not start. To allow time for the contractor to arrive we would call contractors for hauling this type of waste, i.e. Granville Farms; septic tank hauler. • Emergency numbers for pump suppliers and additional services and personnel can be found in the Towns Emergency Response Plan • THE FOLLOWING AREA LIST OF PUMP STATIONS AND LOCATIONS Fearrington Utilities Individual Pump Summary WQCS00238 Name: Weathersfield Pump Station Physical Location: 595 Woodbury Alarm Type: Audible, Visual, and Telemetry (auto -dialer) Restricted Access: Yes Pump Reliability: Duplex Station - can pump peak with one pump out Reliability Sources: Spare Pump at station Signage Present: Yes Name: Barnsley Pump Station Physical Location: 726-A Barnsley Alarm Type: Audible, Visual, and Telemetry (auto -dialer) Restricted Access: Yes Pump Reliability: Dupiex Station - can pump peak with one pump out Reliability Sources: Spare Pump at station Signage Present: Yes Name: Galloway Ridge Pump Station Physical Location: 3333 Galloway Ridge Alarm Type: Audible, Visuat, and Telemetry (auto -dialer) Restricted Access: Yes Pump Reliability: Duplex Station - can pump peak with one pump out Signage Present: Yes Form CSA 04/16 - Section VI Item 4 Fearrington Utilities Compliance Issues WQCS00238 No known Compliance Issues Form CSA 04/16 -Section VII
