Subject: Notice ...tent to Issue Civil Penalty
Tracking Number.: NOV-2021-DV-0428
Sanitary Sewer Overflows — August 2021
Collection System Permit No. WQCS00056
Siler City Collection System, Chatham County
Dear Mr. Vinson,
This letter is response for the NOV & Intent to Issue Civil Penalty issued on October 07, 2021 and received on
October 15, 2021.
• 200 Chatham Square, manhole behind shopping mall, 21,600 gallons reach surface waters.
This release was caused by grease. The Public Works Department started on the clean up as soon as the
release was witnessed. The collection line was jetted, grease was racked up off the ground, bales of hay were
placed in the creek to keep grease for spreading, grease was pumped out of creek and back into manhole and
Lime and straw was placed on ground where grease had been.
All ariel lines were inspected the first half of the week in anticipation of an upcoming collection inspection.
This is a very low flow creek that had not received any rain that week, so it is believed that no other damage
was done downstream.
The last time this line was cleaned, before this incident, was on 02/03/2020. This line has since been inspected
and has been found to still be clean.
