b. Specific location
c. Description of problem
d. Time possible overflow was noticed
e. Reporter's name and phone number
f. Observations of the reporter
g. Relevant information that will enable system personnel to quickly locate,
assess and stop the overflow
2. Appropriate system personnel will be notified when a possible spill is reported. All
reports of a SSO must be investigated by staff within two hours. System personnel
must confirm the spill before it will be considered an SSO. Only after confirmation
by system personnel will a spill be considered an SSO.
3. As soon as possible, but no later than 24 hours of the confirmation of a reportable
Sanitary Sewer Overflow, the NC DWR Wilmington Regional Office will be
notified according to the rules of NC Division of Water Resources. The rule is:
Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) Reporting Requirements to the Division of
Water Resources
The Permittee shall verbally report to a Division of Water Resources staff
member at the appropriate Regional Office, as soon as possible, but in no case
more than 24 hours following first knowledge of the occurrence of either of the
following:
• Any SSO and/or spill over 1,000 gallons to the ground; or
• Any SSO and/or spill, regardless of volume, that reaches surface water
Voice mail messages or faxed information shall not be considered as the initial
verbal report. SSOs (and other types of spills) occurring outside normal business
hours may also be reported to the Division of Emergency Management at
telephone number [phone] or [phone].

4. Spills that are fully contained and removed quickly and are less than one thousand
gallons that do not reach surface waters are not required to be reported to NC DWR.
However, a full spill report form will be filled out and kept on file.
B. Dispatch of Sewer Maintenance Personnel to Site of Sewer Overflow
Confirmation of a Spill / Sanitary Sewer Overflow will activate an immediate
response to isolate and correct the problem. Personnel and equipment shall be
available to respond to any and all SSO locations.
1. Dispatching Personnel Instructions
➢ When a spill/SSO is received by the system, Staff and equipment shall be
dispatched to isolate and correct the problem in a timely manner
➢ Staff will be dispatched by telephone or radio
➢ Dispatching personnel must verify that all notified staff have received the
message
2. Maintenance Personnel Instructions
➢ All dispatched staff should proceed immediately to the site of the spill/SSO.
Any delays and/or conflicts should be promptly reported to the manager
➢ Upon arrival at the site of the spill/SSO, staff will report any and all findings
to the appropriate supervisor. These findings should include damage to both
public and private property
3. Supervisor Instructions
➢ The Supervisor will dispatch additional personnel, supplies, and equipment as
needed or requested by dispatched staff
➢ The Supervisor will update the Public Works Director and/or Town Manager
on a continuing basis if the SSO and/or repairs are not easily abated and fixed.
4. Initial Damage Assessment
➢ All dispatched staff must use discretionary action when responding to a
spill/SSO. Dispatched personnel must be aware that the System may be
responsible and/or liable for further damage to private property
➢ Dispatched personnel should not enter private property without authorization
from the Supervisor

> In order to thoroughly document the affected area, the dispatched staff will
take appropriate photos and/or video. Any photos and/or video will be
retained and filed with the spill/SSO report
5. Supervision and Inspection

> To restore the surrounding area/property back to normal as quickly as possible
> To establish an appropriate perimeter to contain the spill/SSO, using
equipment (traffic cones, barricades), existing infrastructure (fencing, etc.),
and/or natural boundaries (berm, ditch, stream, etc.)
> To notify the appropriate regulatory agencies within permitted timeframe
> To protect surface water from contamination
➢ To minimize regulatory enforcement and/or penalties, resulting from a
spill/SSO
1. Upon arrival at a spill/SSO, the dispatched system staff will perform the following:
➢ Determine the cause of the spill/SSO (collection line blockage, lift station
malfunction, line break, etc.).
> Report findings to Supervisor and identify or request additional personnel and
equipment to minimize the effects of the spill/SSO.
➢ Should it be determined the cause of the spill/SSO is not the responsibility of

private), and surface water bodies from immediate danger.

2. Containment of a spill/SSO will be of utmost priority and will include, but are not
limited to, the following measures:
> Determine the immediate destination of the spill/SSO (storm drain, water
body, ditch, etc.)
> Identify and request the necessary personnel and equipment to contain and
minimize the effects of the spill/SSO
> Take the appropriate, immediate action to contain the spill/SSO
3. Additional measures may be necessary to contain a prolonged spill/SSO. These
measures will be determined and implemented by the Supervisor.
4. Clean up of a spill/SSO will be prompt and thorough. The necessary measures will
be taken to eliminate any identifiable evidence of the spill/SSO.
> If possible, photos will be taken before and after clean up. Photos will be filed
with the spill/SSO report
> The affected area will be cleaned of any sewage and debris. All materials
collected will be properly disposed of
> The area will be secured to prevent public contact, until the affected area has
been thoroughly cleaned
> The spill/SSO site should be disinfected and deodorized, if appropriate
> If spill/SSO has affected a surface water body, the NC DWR Wilmington
Regional Office will be contacted for specific instructions.
D. Overflow Reporting
A written report to the NC DWR Wilmington Regional Office is required within five
days. The Supervisor will complete the required reports and submit them to the NC
DWR Wilmington Regional Office. Additional reporting requirements to the public
may be required based upon volume discharged.

For accurate reporting purposes, system personnel should gather the following
information:
> Determine if the spill/SSO has affected any surface water bodies
> Estimate the start time of the of the spill/SSO:
o Date/time reported and confirmed by system personnel
o Visual observations
> Estimate the stop time of the spill/SSO:
o Date/time the blockage or equipment malfunction has been corrected
o Date/time system personnel arrived onsite, if spill/SSO stopped before
system personnel arrived
> Visual Observations
o Estimate the flow rate of the spill/SSO
o Estimate the volume of the spill/SSO
o Take photos for documentation
o Assess damage to public and private property (System personnel will
not enter private property to assess damage, unless authorized by the
Supervisor)
E. Customer Satisfaction
To ensure good public relations and customer satisfaction, the appropriate system
personnel will follow up with the reporting party. This follow up will include either
a personal visit or telephone call. The Supervisor will determine the information to
be disclosed to the reporting party.
