Maria,
I've attached a map of the facility including the main transfer line (orange) and the stormwater catch basin (green) in the parking lot, the outfall along the road
and the ditch.
We recovered approximately 800-1,000 gallons of process water from the ditch the day of the spill.The following day, after the first rain event we observed
standing cloudy water in the ditch and out of an abundance of caution removed that as well. It was far less than the first load, if I had to estimate I'd say 200-400
gallons the second day.
I hope this helps.

Hello Katie,
I need more information to understand the location and path of spill, the desired (designed)flow of both your process wastewater and stormwater(with
location of inlet/outlet). Can you send a map showing these items?
Also, what was the total volume of liquid pumped and removed and have you seen any additional emergence of process wastewater with continued rain events.
Thank you,
Maria

Maria,
Attached are the pictures you requested and below is the report I sent to the stormwater group.The check valve was replaced on Thursday and upon
completion of the repair we notice the pump impellor was too worn down to move sufficient water.The pump was replaced Friday morning.The station is
operating normally as of noon Friday September 8tn

Hello Brittany,

Yesterday, September 6t"the hatchery(2715 Cureton St. Monroe, NC 28112) experienced a lift station failure that allowed approximately 500-1,000 gallons of
process water to spill onto the parking lot and enter a stormwater drain. We were able to isolate the lift station and had a vacuum truck to remove/clean the
effected stormwater ditch.The repair is being made today.
Per our general industrial permit NCG060023, I notified DEQvia the emergency response number, release report number 20230906-7, however I wanted to
notify DEQ directly as well. If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to me via phone or email.
