Dear Mr. Snider,
NC Department of
Environmental Quality
Received
JUL 16 2021
Winston-Salem
Regional Office
This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation and Recommendation for Enforcement Letter
dated June 17, 2021 received by the City of Greensboro. The address where the violation
occurred and the amount spilled is shown below:
1. 411 S. Booker Street 3,000 Gallons
On March 23, 2021 at 411 S. Booker Street, 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. The line is now on a biannual PM schedule, and we will monitor the line
to see if that cycle needs to be increased in the future.
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
