This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation, Tracking No. NOV-2022-DV-0127 concerning the spill
that occurred on March 02, 2022, at 3232 Bowers Ave. Guilford County, High Point, North Carolina.
The spill at the above -mentioned address lasted for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. The crew
arrived onsite at 1609 Lazy Lane at 6:45 pm. They identified the blockage area and worked to unstop the
sewer main using a sewer combination cleaning truck. It was determined that the blockage was caused
by grease and debris. The overflowing manhole was beside a small creek behind a wooded area that
houses had built in front of causing a delay in accessing the line. Once the spill was knocked down all
solids were removed, and lime was spread over the area as needed. The line was cleaned the following
few days to ensure that no other issues were present. The line was inspected by CCTV camera to see if
there were any other issues, none were found. FOG door hangers were passed out in the area to help
educate the residents about proper disposal of grease.
The frequency of cleaning / inspection has been increased to help prevent any future spills in this area.
If you have any questions or require further information, please feel free to call me at [phone].
