Notice of Violation and Assessment of Civil Penalty
Case No: NV-2022-0046
Permit No. WQCS00171
Badin Wastewater Collection System
Stanly County
In response to Sanitary Sewer Overflow that occurred on January 3, 2022, I would state that
incident was a result over a weather front bringing excessive rain to the region which caused the
existing collection system pipe to become full of inflow and infiltration as can be denoted by the
attached weather report.
We are aware of the issues in this area and attempting to take actions to mitigate these
occurrences. I have recommended the replacement of approximately 1,200 linear feet of VCP
directly upstream of the pump station on the County's 5 Year Capital Plan. This plan should be
approved by the Board of Commissioners on March 7, 2022 agenda and once approved will
initiate the budgeting for the project. Al so included is the replacement of the West Badin Pump
Station with adequately sized pumps and control to handle additional flows. The adoption of the
Capital Plan is necessary for the County to complete and SDF Study to be effective July 1, 2022
that will bring in additional revenues to fund all capital projects.

I would ask for some consideration that the Badin Collection System is very old and there is
currently inadequate revenues to support larger scale infrastructure improvements. We did apply
for a CDBG Grant last year but were turned down. We are actively looking at grants and other
available state funding to complete more work on the sewer collection system in this area.
If you have any additional comments, concerns or advice please do not hesitate to contact via email
