Dear Mr. Wheeler:
A review has been conducted of the self -reported Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSO's) 5-Day Report's submitted by
City of Raleigh. The Division's Raleigh Regional Office concludes that the City of Raleigh violated Permit Condition I
(2) of Permit No. WQCS00002 by failing to effectively manage, maintain, and operate their collection system so
that there is no SSO (Sanitary Sewer Overflow) to the land or surface waters and the SSO constituted making an
outlet to waters of the State for purposes of G.S. 143-215.1(a)(1), for which a permit is required by G.S.
143-215.1.
The Raleigh Regional Office is providing the City of Raleigh an opportunity to provide evidence and justification as
to why the City of Raleigh should not be assessed a civil penalty for the violation(s) that are summarized below:
