This letter shall serve as the Town of Bailey's response, and it is our hope that the additional information provided will result in no further action by the Division. During the inspection, Town staff indicated that the contact information filed with the Division (attached) is not current and up to date. Within 30 days of receipt of this letter, please review the attached contact information and submit to the Division a list of updated information, including but not limited to: Owner Affiliation, Owner Contact Person(s), Facility Contact Person(s), Permit Billing Contact Person(s), and Designated Operator(s). The towns contact information has been updated.

This program is required and shall include: Attached please find the towns grease control program that was made available to the inspector the day of the inspection.

This information is also on the town's website. ➢ The Town is required to inspect and maintain inspection records for high -priority sewer lines at least once every six months, and to conduct a general observation of the entire sewer system at least once per year.

FOG (fats, oils, and grease) You may not be aware of it, but every time you pour fat, oil, or grease (FOG) down your sink (e.g., bacon grease), you are contributing to a costly problem in the sewer collection system. FOG coats the inner walls of the plumbing in your house as well as the walls of underground piping throughout the community. Over time, these greasy materials build up and form blockages in pipes, which can lead to wastewater backing up into parks, yards, streets, and storm drains. These backups allow FOG to contaminate local waters, including drinking water. Exposure to untreated wastewater is a public health hazard. FOG discharged into septic systems and drain fields can also cause malfunctions, resulting in more frequent tank pump -outs and other expenses. Communities spend billions of dollars every year to unplug or replace grease -blocked pipes, repair pump stations, and clean up costly and illegal wastewater spills. Here are some tips that you and your family can follow to help maintain a well -run system now and in the future. NEVER: • Pour fats, oil, or grease down the house or storm drains. • Dispose of food scraps by flushing them. • Use the toilet as a waste basket. ALWAYS: • Scrape and collect fat, oil, and grease into a waste container such as an empty coffee can and dispose of it with your garbage. • Place food scraps in waste containers or garbage bags for disposal with solid wastes. • Place a wastebasket in each bathroom for solid wastes like disposable diapers, creams and lotions, and personal hygiene products, including nonbiodegradable wipes.
