Sanitary Sewer Overflows – May 2023
Collection System Permit No. WQCS00005
Durham County

Dear Mr. Greeley:

In a letter dated June 5th, 2023, you were notified of a Sanitary Sewer Overflow that occurred on May 18th, 2023.
This overflow took place at 3505 Century Oaks Dr in Durham, NC 27713. The spill was for 6,000 gallons, all of
which was reported as reaching surface water. The cause for this overflow was noted as being debris in the line.
In email correspondence from James Roberson, it was brought to our attention that the overflow happened
outside of the City of Durham collection system. The overflow took place through a privately owned manhole
located within the Amer Oaks Apartment Complex. Scott Vinson of this office verified the data provided by the
City of Durham in this matter.

After communicating with Mr. Roberson and reviewing submitted information, this office has determined that
the subject collection system is not in violation of the subject collection system permit, and the subject NOV letter
dated June 5th, 2023, against Collection System Permit WQCS00005 is hereby rescinded.

We appreciate Mr. Roberson communicating with staff about this matter and have updated our files and database
system accordingly. If you have questions concerning this matter, please contact this office at 919-791-4200.

Sincerely,

Scott Vinson, Regional Supervisor
Water Quality Regional Operations Section
