Re: Written Response to NOV-2022-DV-0023

Collection System Permit No. WQCS00068
Dear Mr. Vinson:
I am writing you in response to NOV-2022-DV-0023 which included Incident Number: 202102266. SGWASA
receive the NOV-2022-DV-0023 notification letter from NCDEQ on January 28, 2022. A written response to
your office is required within 15 business days following the receipt of the notification. This response dated
February 8, 2022 complies with the requirement. Following is an overview and response by SGWASA to the
incident.
Incident No. 202102266 (12/14/2021): 315t Street Between East E. Street & East D. Street
In accordance with the CS-SSO incident report submitted by SGWASA staff to the Division of Water
Resources, the sanitary sewer system overflow occurred due to vandalism -based obstructions
(string mop heads, bed sheets, cloth towels, cooking and eating utensils), and large amounts of
cooking grease that were placed in upstream sewer facilities (toilets, manholes, sinks, etc.).
Due to this ongoing problem, SGWASA staff inspects the manholes and pipe in the general vicinity
of the overflowing manhole 2-3 times per month. Additionally, SGWASA staff continues to search
for the facilities that are causing these problems so that we can issue a violation notice and take
enforcement actions.
Based on the information above, I believe it is clear to the NCDEQ - Division of Water Resources that
SGWASA is actively and aggressively pursuing the cause of this local problem in our sanitary sewer
collection system. Please take this into account as you determine what actions you may take regarding the
sanitary sewer overflow that occurred. I look forward to discussing this information further with you.
Please contact me at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Sr0. "' n, 5chvo ,&?,
