Sanitary Sewer Overflows - May 2021
Collection System Permit No. WQCS00005
Durham Collection System
Durham County
Dear Mr. Greeley:
A review has been conducted of the self -reported Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSO's) 5-Day Report/5 submitted by
City of Durham. The Division's Raleigh Regional Office concludes that the City of Durham violated Permit Condition
I (2) of Permit No. WQCS00005 by failing to effectively manage, maintain, and operate their collection system so
that there is no SSO (Sanitary Sewer Overflow) to the land or surface waters and the SSO constituted making an
outlet to waters of the State for purposes of G.S. 143-215.1(a)(1), for which a permit is required by G.S.
143-215.1.
The Raleigh Regional Office is providing the City of Durham an opportunity to provide evidence and justification as
to why the City of Durham should not be assessed a civil penalty for the violation(s) that are summarized below:
