WALNUT COVE
Water and Wastewater System
DATE: Fch; ti,- 15, Lost
Memorandum
FROM: MArk 3c,aru» Public Works Director
TO: All Walnut Cove Maintenance Personnel
SUBJECT: Sanitary Sewer Overflow(S.S.O.) Response Procedures
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to protect the citizens and environment of Walnut Cove,
North Carolina by establishing written procedures for responding to Sanitary Sewer
Overflows (S.S.O.). These procedures apply to all Maintenance Personnel, who in the
course of their work may deal with S.S.O.'s. These procedures will be reviewed at least
semiannually or whenever revised guidance from County, State or Federal authorities
dictate modifications are necessary.
Response Summary
1. Sanitary Sewer Overflows endanger our environment and the health of any citizens or
employees that come into contact with an S.S.O. Unchecked S.S.O.'s can result in
significant penalties from State and Federal environmental regulatory agencies as well.
The procedures below were designed to protect our environment, citizens, and
employees from an S.S.O. event. These procedures pertain to Walnut Cove
Maintenance Personnel.
2. Upon discovery of an S.S.O., an initial response will be made by the Collection System
ORC (Operator in Responsible Charge). Upon arrival,the foreman will make an
immediate assessment to determine if a S.S.O. event has taken place. If an event has
taken place or is in progress, the maintenance crew will attempt to eliminate the source
of the S.S.O. and notify the Town's S.S.O. Contact Person, the Collection System
ORC.
3. The S.S.O. Contact Person or his alternate will respond to the event location without
delay. Upon arrival, the S.S.O Contact Person will make an assessment of the S.S.O,
determine what is required to mitigate the event, and establish a course of aciion for
clean up and restoration of the S.S.O. site.
1

i .
4. If a blockage has occurred and an overflow is in progress, the S.S.O. Contact Person
will:
• Call the Collection System ORC to mobilize additional manpower resources, if
assistance is needed.
• Arrange for a Sewer Jet/Vacuum Truck crew.
• Contact the on-call Operator for mobilization of personnel and equipment.
5. The S.S.O. Contact Person will record all events as NC Division of Environmental
Management regulations require and will serve as the primary contact with State of
North Carolina authorities.
Caution
Rapid reaction is critical in the event of a S.S.O., but employees are cautioned to
maintain proper safety precautions, especially as they pertain to confined space
entry and hazardous material handling.

SPILL ON ASPHALT OR CONCRETE
1. Set up containment at or near the storm drainage system. Do not allow the spill enter
the storm drainage system.
2. Cordon off the area around the sanitary sewer overflow(S.S.O.) area with a "Caution
Do Not Enter" tape.
3. Spread lime over the spillage, then sand (or equivalent material) to a depth of 1 inch.
Let this stand for 1 hour before sweeping into piles for transfer to a truck for hauling.
If moisture or grease is still present, repeat the procedure.
4. After removing the contaminated material, wash down the area with high water
pressure and sodium hypochlorite bleach(such as Clorox, etc.). Pump the wash water
back into the sewer system for treatment. Transport the wet sand to the Town's
Wastewater Treatment Plant Drying Area.
5. If the spill gets into the storm drainage system, refer to the SPILL IN A STREAM
procedure.
SPILL IN A STREAM
1. Take conductivity readings of the creek to determine the proper placement of a
containment dam. The dam needs to be constructed near a manhole or a location that
is accessible to the Sewer Jet/Vacuum Truck. Placement of the dam should be at the
point where the lowest conductivity reading is measured, if possible. Build the dam
with dirt that is capable of handling creek and hydrant water without dam failure. At
the dam, station a pump capable of handling the creek flow. At all times, have extra
dirt and a backhoe at the site, so the dam can be rebuilt if a breach occurs. Also, there
must always be two workers at the pump site during pumping operations. Pump the
containment water from the dam into a sanitary sewer manhole for treatment.
2. Put up "Caution Do Not Enter" warning tape from the S.S.O. site to the pump site on
both sides of the creek in populated areas. Use the same method to restrict access in
unpopulated areas, if there is any chance of people coming in contact with the S.S.O.
3. Take Fecal Coliform samples at the S.S.O. site, 100 feet upstream from the site (for a
background count), and at 400 foot downstream intervals from the pump site. Bring
the samples to the Director's office.
4. Flush the stream with water from a sufficient number of hydrants to remove the waste
product from the creek. Continue flushing and sample every 24 hours until the results
are less than or equal to 400 colonies/ml or the background count from the upstream
sample, Wit is greater than 400 colonies/ml.
3

5. If rip rap is in the creek, wash it down with high pressure water until there is no waste
residue remaining on or within the rip rap structure.
6. If sludge is in the creek, sweep the creek bottom and sides with a broom until there is
no waste residue remaining.
7. If creek flows into a body of water used for recreation or drinking, notify the affected
County and Local officials as soon as the problem is discovered. Also, refer to the
SPILL IN A POND OR LAKE Procedure.
SPILL IN A POND OR LAKE
1. Put up warning tape, "Caution Do Not Enter", on the shoreline at the contaminated
area.
2. In a pond, collect Fecal Coliform samples and Dissolved Oxygen(D.O.)readings
around the entire circumference. Set up pumping operations below the dam as
described above in the SPILL IN A STREAM procedure.
3. In a large lake, sample Fecal Coliforms two feet off the bottom. D.O readings are to
be taken one foot under the surface of the water. Take equal samples around the
circumference of the lake.
4. If the Fecal Coliform counts are greater than 8,000 colonies/ml from the first sampling
results, contact the Director for appropriate action.
5. Continue pumping until Fecal Coliforms of 400 colonies/ml or less are obtained at the
pumping impoundment site.
6. Keep monitoring Fecal Coliform counts until the North Carolina Department of Water
Quality or the County Public Health Department determines that monitoring is no
longer required.
SPILL ALONG AN OUTFALL
1. Put up warning tape, "Caution Do Not Enter" around the S.S.O. site.
2. In an open area, lime (powder) heavily and till thoroughly. Repeat the procedure, then
seed and put down straw.
3. In an area where there is undergrowth or small trees, wash the area with large amounts
of water. Push into a creek towards the pumping impoundment site. Do this until no
waste remains. Wait for 12 to 24 hours, and then lime the area heavily. Do not get
lime in the creek. Also, do not lime when the weather forecast is predicting rainfall.
4

SPILL ON A RESIDENT'S YARD
1. Till the area whenever possible. Apply lime, seed, and straw.
2. If unable to till, apply lime and two inches of topsoil, then mix thoroughly. Lime again
lightly, seed,and cover with straw.

Town Of Walnut Cove
Contingency Plan
for
Pump Failure at Lift Stations

Contingency Plan for Lift Stations June 8, 2011
A. PLAN
This contingency plan provides information to Public Works employees in the event of a failure
at a sewer lift station such that the employee(s) can take action to prevent a potential SSO
(Sanitary Sewer Overflow) from occurring. The information in this document is for the protection
of the citizens and environment of The Town of Walnut Cove. A copy of this plan shall be
located at each sewer lift station.
B. RESPONSE SUMMARY
Upon Discover of a pump failure at a lift station the operator should:
1. Notify the collection system ORC or the Director of Public Works.
2. In the event of temporary power failure notify Duke Power, and:
a. Obtain an estimated time for power restoration.
b. Arrange for temporary power if a SSO is anticipated before power can be
restored.
c. Use conservative judgment, based on how fast the wet well is anticipated to fill.
d. If temporary power is not available, arrange to have the wet well pumped if
pumping cannot be restored in sufficient time to prevent a sanitary sewer
overflow.
3. If a power failure is not apparent: Attempt trouble shooting procedures as outlined in the
Common Operating Problems below.
4. Arrange to have pump replaced if an additional pump is available.
5. Arrange to have the wet well pumped if pumping cannot be restored in sufficient time to
