Dear Mr. Snider,
This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation and Recommendation for Enforcement Letter
dated January 18, 2023 received by the City of Greensboro. The address where the violation
occurred and the amount spilled is shown below:
1. 1105 Boston Road 3,000 Gallons
On December 6, 2022 at 1105 Boston Road, the sanitary sewer release was due to debris in the
sanitary sewer at this address. A combination jet truck was dispatched to unstop the blockage and
clean the line. Once the sanitary sewer overflow was stopped, we thoroughly cleaned all lines in
the area to ensure we could perform a CCTV inspection of the lines, and we found no
deficiencies to correct. We did find a substantial amount of gravel in the lines and thoroughly
cleaned all lines to prevent future issues. The line is currently on a biannual PM schedule, and
we will be increasing it to a quarterly cycle count to help prevent future debris build-up.
Remediation efforts include opening fire hydrants to flush the affected area.
It is our duty to comply with the requirements of Collection System Permit Number WQCS00006
and G.S. 143-215. ](a)(1), and we will continue to address unforeseen circumstances as quickly
as they occur. If any additional information is required, please do contact me. We appreciate
your review and welcome your feedback.
Sincerely yours,
Robert Martin, Construction and Maintenance Supervisor
