It is the policy of our company that any and all SSO's be investigated immediately and actions taken to prevent or minimize any and all environmental impact. The public should contact our 24 hour customer service number at 1-800-525-7990 and provide as much information as possible on the location of the problem. On-call staff will be dispatched immediately for full investigation. This number will reach our office during normal business hours and than an emergency call service center after normal business hours. Available and current on-call staff information is kept at all times to ensure that appropriate staff can be dispatched immediately. Any operations employee that comes across an SSO should contact the Operating Manager, Area Manager or Regional Manager immediately and take immediate action to assess,minimize, prevent or mitigate any such event. The local Operating Manager and ORC of the system will be the primary interface between the company and the NC Dept. of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality (DWQ) and county health department(if required). The appropriate manager will follow the current and then in place SSO reporting policy as designated by DWQ (see attached reporting form)or any other regulatory agency having jurisdiction. As of the writing of this document; • Report any spill of 1,000 gallons or more; and • Any spill, regardless of the volume, if any waste reaches the surface waters of the State. Any conveyances such as drainage ditches or storm sewers are considered waters of the State. 1) Report by telephone to a person(not a fax or voicemail)to the Washington Regional DWQ Office at 252-946-6481 during normal business hours(Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm)as soon as possible, but in no case more that 24 hours after the SSO is known or discovered. To report outside of regular business hours, call (800) 858-0368. 2) Follow up the verbal report by sending the completed written report using the attached form or most current within five days. 3) If the discharge involves 1,000 gallons or more AND reaches surface waters, a press release must be issued within 48 hours of first notification. If the discharge is 15,000 gallons or more, a public notice must be published within 10 days and proof of publication shall be provided to DWQ within 30 days. Containment Procedures As soon as an employee arrives at the site of the SSO,he/she shall use whatever means necessary to contain the spillasto prevent p e ent it from reaching surface waters. If there is no danger or potential of the SSO reaching surface waters,the SSO should be contained in as small an area as possible but use of any means possible such as construction of dams, ditches, checks etc. The sewage contained or collected shall be returned to the sewer system or y taken to the WWTP by pumps,pumper trucks or other available means. If possible, a blocked or damaged section of collection main should be bypassed around the problem area using transfer pumps from an upstream manhole into a downstream manhole. The damaged ma main section plugged if possible to prevent waste from entering the problem area. g should be The area should be sectioned off to prevent any unauthorized person from entering the contaminated area. Blockage Correction Employees should treat a reported blockage with utmost urgency to prevent any spill or backup from causing environmental or home damage. The first person on site should try to assess the problem and determine if flow can be maintained or restored using temporary pump bypass or other means, of if the problem area can be blocked off and the waste transported from a manhole to the WWTP using a pump or pumper truck. Contractors should be called immediately and employee should stay on site or within close distance to assist with emergency work. Containment and bypass equipment and measures shall remain on site until the blockage is corrected. Clean up Remove all debris such as plastic,paper or other materials from the site, bag or place in a container and dispose of properly in dumpster at WWTP site. Clean or wash area thoroughly and return this water to the sewer system or treatment plant. If on soil or dirt, apply a liberal layer of white hydrated lime to raise the pH and kill pathogenic organisms and to treat for odor. Apply straw and grass seed if appropriate. If the SSO reaches surface waters, every effort should be made to contain the spill area by use of dams near a manhole or area accessible to a pumper truck and mobile equipment. The contained area should be pumped back into the sewer system. Two employees or one employee and a contractor shall be present at all time while pump is operated. Backhoe or other equipment should be available to help maintain earthen dams until clean up efforts are complete. If possible, the area should be flushed with potable water and that water also returned to the seer system. The operator should try and use a broom or other measures to agitate sludge on the bottom during the pumping and cleaning efforts to make sure it is all retrieved. Rocks and rip-rap should be washed of residue. If surface waters are used for drinking source or recreation, additional measures must be taken to notify local health departments. Water samples to include dissolved oxygen and fecal bacteriological samples should be taken frequently before clean up, during and after clean up. In addition, samples should be taken upstream and downstream of the affected area. Spare Parts and Equipment List Portable trailer mounted generator to operate pump stations and/or electrical equipment in the event of power loss or in remote locations. This will be kept in good running order at all times at the WWTP location. Common parts such as electrical components such as elapsed time meters,voltage phase monitors etc. are kept in stock at the Monteray Shores WWTP and can be accessed at all times. White hydrated lime will be kept on hand at the WWTP for spill abatement. Normal hand tools such as shovels,rakes etc. will be kept on the Operator's truck or at the WWTP. The ORC or Operating Manager must be familiar with all pumping equipment brands and have means to contact a distributor or representative for expedited parts.

Water& Waste Systems 919-625-8864 Electrical and repair work Monteray Shores Lift station Pump Failure Contingency Plan Sanitary Sewer Collection System Permit WQCS00xxx Carolina Water Service Inc. of North Carolina Mission Statement 1. Carolina Water Service Inc. of NC (CWSNC) owns, operates and maintains the sanitary sewer collection system serving Monteray Shores located in Currituck County,NC. CWSNC is an investor owned private utility and is committed to providing safe, reliable and cost effective service to our customers and with the underlying commitment to act with integrity,protect the environment and enhance the communities we serve. CWSNC works to maintain the system and meet customer growth expectations and regulatory requirements in a financially responsible manner. As a privately owned public utility, CWSNC is regulated through the NC Utilities Commission. Description of Systems 2. The service area currently serves a seasonal population. The system is comprised of approximately 10.23 miles of gravity sewer collection mains; 7.53 miles of pressure force main, (18)pump stations and a 0.720 MGD wastewater treatment plant. Objective of Plan 3. To insure a normal level of service in the event of a lift station pump failure while protecting the environment. CWSNC is financially capable of making any and all emergency repairs immediately and takes immediate action any time the system may be compromised in order to protect the system integrity, the environment and to meet regulatory requirements. Criteria for Invoking the plan: 4. One or more pump failures or loss of power to any or all lift stations. Roles,Responsibilities,and Authority 5. The local Operating Manager/ORC of the system will be in charge of operating this contingency plan. If additional personnel are needed,he will contact the appropriate Area Manger who will then assign more staff if deemed necessary. Procedures for Invoking Contingency Mode 6. The area operator will monitor the system on an emergency basis until it is clear that there are no problems with the operation of the system. The alarm systems for all 18 lift stations have capabilities so that alarms will still be reported in the event of power loss. If an employee discovers a problem,he will immediately begin to diagnose to correct the problem. The employee will also call his immediate supervisor and describe the nature of the problem (e.g.,no electricity, pump failure to one or all lift stations). Procedures for Operating in Contingency Mode 7. Generators— Lift Stations are equipped with either fixed or mobile generator transfer quick connects that will enable the operator to hook up available portable generators located in the system. If all lift stations are without power, the Area Manager will establish a rotation schedule based upon the capacity in the wet wells and storage in the lines to rotate the generators between the lift stations. One Pump Failure—Should one pump fail in the duplex stations,the operator is to contact the necessary contractor from the contractors list and arrange to have the pump checked immediately. Should the pump need to be replaced, the operator should check the spare parts inventory and have installed, should one be available. The other pump should be sent to a repair facility for a repair cost estimate. The station should be checked on a daily basis until such time the pump can be repaired or replaced. Dual Pump Failure—Should both pumps fail in the duplex stations, the operator is to contact the necessary contractors from the contractors list and arrange to have the pumps checked immediately and/or to rent a portable pump if needed. Should the pump need to be replaced, the operator should check the spare parts inventory and have a pump installed, should one be available. The other pumps should be sent to a repair facility for a repair cost estimate. The station should be checked on a daily basis until such time that both pumps can be repaired or replaced. If needed a vacuum pump truck should be called from the contractors list to prevent any and all overflows. Water Restrictions—If city wide or regional power outage lasts for more than one day,we would consider restricting community water usage to reduce the flow of wastewater through the system. 8. Criteria for Returning to normal operation mode: Electricity returned to all stations and all lift station pumps are operational. 9. Post Contingency Plan : The Area Manager will meet with personnel who assisted in operating this plan to evaluate how well it worked. If necessary, changes will be made for any future emergencies. 1.4 • l � I I I` Y i • Sr• i Gravity Sewer 10.23 mi Pressure Sewer 7.53 mi • • ssSystem Valve i ssManhole s Unknown/Other ssPlant s Dosing TB Storage Beam yr^ ���///�*�������tt111111 ssPressunzed Main _ I -ssGravity Main Monteray Shores p �� "CONFIDENTIAL a PROPRIETARY INFORMATIOh� r~�U_N 300 BOO tau 1� DISCLAIMER.This map is not a survery Map Produced By:SPQ / w.'�."k�r`f."
