Snider, Assistant Regional Supervisor Water Quality Regional Operations 450 West Hanes Mill Road, Suite 300 Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27105 Dear Mr. Snider, NC Departure Environmental Receive DEC 17 2021 Winston -Sala Regional C, This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation and Recommendation for Enforcement Letter dated December 1, 2021 received by the City of Greensboro. The address where the violation occurred and the amount spilled is shown below: 1. 7625 Thorndike Rd. 3,600 Gallons The sanitary sewer release on September 18, 2021 at 7625 Thorndike Rd. was due to debris in the 8" 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 spill duration extended longer than expected due to a large -sized rock logged inside the sewer main that had to be broken apart by the combination sewer cleaning truck to remove. We inspected the manholes in the area to ensure that we would not have any issues in the future. Remediation efforts include opening fire hydrants to flush the affected area, and we spread lime to minimize the spill's impact. It is our duty to comply with the requirements of Collection System Permit Number WQCS00006 and G.S. 143-215. ](a)(]), 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.
