Your assistance and cooperation were very helpful and appreciated. A checklist of items is enclosed with this letter. During the inspection the following items were noted: 1.) Town of Goldston holds a deemed sewer collection system permit for the facility located in Goldston, Chatham County. There has been no reportable sanitary sewage overflow (SSO) incidents from the collection system since the last inspection. 2.) The collection system includes gravity sewer line, force main, and three duplex stations. Wastewater from the facility is pumped into City of Sanford's sewer main. The system does not have high - priority lines. 3.) A system map was available for review at the time of inspection. The facility needs to add pipe sizes, materials, flow direction, approximate pipe age, force main air release valve location, pump station location and capacity onto the map. 4.) The facility needs to develop a spill response action plan, which at minimum, should include 24-hour contact number, response time, equipment list and spare parts inventory, and access to contractors. The plan also needs to include procedure to report sanitary sewer overflow (SSO) incidents (see enclosed State Regulation 15A NCAC 02B .0506). 5.) All three pump stations were visited during the inspection. Visual/audible alarms and telemetry were found operable. Pump stations were inspected weekly as required. The Town needs to post 24- hour notification signs at the Main Pump Station and Ball Park Pump Station, the signs need to include owner name, pump station identifier, address, instructions for notification, and 24- hour emergency contact numbers.
