302 Oakgrove Drive
Illicit Discharge
City of Graham
Dear Mr. Perry:
This letter is a follow-up to the letter sent on April 17, 2018 concerning the illicit discharge from
your property on April 16, 2018. From staff conversations with your Dad, the initial work done
by Shamrock Environmental, the company you hired was successful in removing the liquid from
the tank. However, they were unable to fill the tank with foam or concrete to stop any further
runoff and tank filling. We appreciate your effort in finding a new contractor to complete this
effort.
We would like a timely conclusion to this problem to prevent further runoff. Therefore we
request that you give us a firm plan to fill or remove this tank by May 14, 2018. If the work can
be done before this date it would be preferred. A large rain or any additional runoff of oil from
this site may result in a further violations that could result in further enforcement actions.
Failure to respond to this request will necessitate the City seeking enforcement actions. These
actions could include the following:
• Payment of a fine up to $37,500 per day after April 23, 2018
• Deeming the violation a Public Nuisance and requiring cleanup with an assessment to
cover all cost associated with the cleanup and a potential fine.
Please contact Public Works Director Burke Robertson of the City of Graham or myself upon
receiving this letter in order to discuss the final plan. Upon completing the cleanup process, City
staff will visually inspect the area to document the cleanup.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any questions regarding this matter you
can contact Burke Robertson at (336) 570-6709 or at Brobertsonkcityofgraham.com or myself
at (336) 226-5534 or through email at : o� sh(cawck.com.
Sincerely,
Josh Johnson, P.E.
