Dear Mr. Snider,
This letter responds to the Notice of Violation and Recommendation for Enforcement Letter
dated March 25, 2021 received by the City of Greensboro. The address where the violation
occurred and the amount spilled is shown below:
1. 2105 Spring Garden Street. 2,000 Gallons
The sanitary sewer release on December 19, 2020 at 2105 Spring Garden Street was due to a
pipe failure at this address. Upon notification of the sanitary sewer spill, we dispatched a
combination truck cleaning crew to the site to stop the sanitary sewer overflow. Once we
remediated the sanitary sewer overflow, we dispatched a construction crew to make a.permanent
repair to the sewer main due to being damaged and causing the blockage. Based on a CCTV
inspection of the main, we replaced approximately 15' of clay pipe with truss pipe to ensure we
had the strength and longevity we needed to prevent this line from failing in the future. We also
rehabbed two sewer laterals while we had the sewer main exposed for repair and identified two
manholes that need to have invert work performed. We currently have the manhole repairs
scheduled in our work order system.
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
