Snider, Regional Supervisor North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Division of Water Resources 450 West Hanes Mill Road, Suite 300 Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27105 Re: Sanitary Sewer Overflow Civil Penalties Incidentol Dear Mr. Snider: NC Department of Environmental,Quality Received APR 0 7 2021 Winston-Salem Regional Office This letter serves as the official response from Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Utilities (WSFC Utilities) to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Water Resources Notice of Intent to Enforce Civil Penalty for the December 17, 2020 sanitary sewer overflow (SSO), Incident #202003504, located at 1155 Hubert Court in Winston-Salem. The incident was a direct result of residential grease, wipes and roots. On December 17, 2020 at 8:00am, an SSO occurred at 1155 Hubert Court. First responders arrived with a combination jet/vacuum truck and were able to remove grease and wipes from the sewer main and resume normal flow by 10:30am. The crew turned the soil, spread straw and washed the immediate upstream and downstream mains to ensure all grease and debris were removed. The quick action taken by first responders resulted in less than half of the total spill volume reaching surface waters. After cleaning, we CCTVed the lines and confirmed there was no further damage or remaining deposits. Can the Grease and No Wipes in Pipes literature and promotional items were distributed to homes near the spill site. WSFC Utilities continues to make progress minimizing SSOs and has the proper programs in place to continue preventative cleaning of the collection system. In addition to this successful strategy, the No Wipes in Pipes campaign is making an impact with public outreach and education. Cey Council, Mayor Men Jaines; Denise D.
