DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING WASTEWATER INFRASTRUCTURE
Reference the Appendix for a map showing the existing layout of the Town's sewer collection
system. A schematic diagram showing the general layout of the existing wastewater treatment
facility components is also provided.
The Town's original sewer system was constructed in the 1930 era and discharged untreated
wastewater directly to The Slough. The Town's first wastewater treatment plant(WWTP) was a
140,000 gpd lagoon system constructed in 1967. The Town upgraded the plant to a secondary
treatment mechanical plant with tertiary filter in 2004. Improvements were made to the plant in
2019 by adding a storage pond and additional irrigation pumps. A schematic diagram of the
WWTP follows:

12" ductile iron and 12" VCP. Around 5,068', or 12% of the system, was constructed between
1981 and 1985 and consists of 6", 8" and 10" PVC Truss pipe. From 1994-2001, four projects
installed 9%(3,777')of the system to include 8"and 10"in PVC and DIP materials. Three major
rehabilitation projects took place in 2006, 2008 and 2020 replacing or rehabilitating by lining
almost 79%(34,144') of the Town's sewer system. Existing lines were replaced with 8" and 10"
DIP and PVC while other lines were lined with either I-IDPE or Cured in Place(Resin Impregnated
Flexible Felt Tubes) liners. All manholes (171 total) in the system are 4 ft diameter and either
brick (55 brick of which 19 have been lined) or precast (116 precast). Nineteen of the brick
manholes have been lined. The Town maintains a map of the sewer system. A copy of the Town's
Sanitary Sewer System map is illustrated on the following page.

A total of four(4)Town maintained pumping stations with force mains of various sizes and lengths
make up the remainder of the collection system.Pump Station#1 is considered the WWTP Influent
Pump Station. The Town's four pump stations were constructed in 2004, 1975, 1999, and 2020,
respectively. Each pump station includes two pumps. Pump Station 1 has dual self-priming pumps
while pump stations 2, 4 and 5 have dual submersible pumps. Pumps at station 1 are rated at 300
gpm while the pumps in stations 2,4 and 5 are rated to pump 80 gpm. Pump Stations 1 and 5 have
onsite backup generators installed as of 2004 and 2020,respectively. Pump Station 4 has a portable
generator connection. One privately owned pump station serves the Medical Office at Highway
117 and Mt. Cannel Church Road. Photographs of Pump Stations 1, 2, 4 and 5 are included on
the following pages.
Force mains for the Town's four pump stations were constructed in the same year as the respective
pump station. All four pump station force mains are primarily 4"PVC except for Pump Station 1
which is served by an eight-inch force main. Force main sizes and lengths are as follows: Pump
Station 1 —484'; Pump Station 2—2,330'; Pump Station 4—2,153'; and Pump Station 5— 120'.

The 1st Priority project in the matrix is the subject of the Town's grant application
($4,773,000) to the Division of Water Infrastructure for the September 30, 2022 funding
cycle.
The second highest priority project is identified as"Replace Pump Station 4 Pumps and Electrical
Gear" with a cost of $90,000 to be implemented in 2029. The third highest priority project
"WWTP Flow Meter Replacement" involves replacing the influent flow meter in 2029 at an
estimated cost of$30,000, followed by the fourth highest priority project involving replacing the
WWTP Chlorination Equipment in 2029. It is noted that a lot of WWTP and pump station
equipment(WWTP standby generator, WWTP influent pumps, irrigation pumps 1 and 2, WWTP
blowers, EQ pumps, etc)will be 30 years old in 2034 and may cease to function with little notice
prior to that time. The Town must maintain the financial capability to replace any and all of these
items immediately upon failure.
The four projects identified above are the only projects proposed within the next ten years.
Sufficient time exists for the Town to set aside funds annually in a capital reserve fund to address
the projected 2029 project expenditures. These projects address practically all the known
significant capital needs associated with the Town's wastewater infrastructure rated "Poor" and

Operation and Maintenance Plan
Town of Pikeville
Town o1 ,
evi e
The Gem of Wiyne Count]
2.0 ADMINISTRATIVE OPTIMIZATION
Administration of an O&M program involves communication and understanding between all
personnel. To achieve a high level of success, the O&M program must be well defined,
standardized to the point of being routine, and clearly communicated. All personnel must
understand the goals of the program and have a clearly written set of procedures to
accomplish these goals. A complete inventory of equipment and materials is required to
effectively schedule maintenance.
2.1 Standards,Policies and Procedures
Standardization of O&M operations insures that all personnel are trained and capable
of performing their responsibilities maintaining the system. Administrators utilize
written standards to manage the process. Issues pertaining to health and safety, repair
procedures and purchasing policies should be well understood by the staff in order
to make the program work effectively and efficiently. A documented staffing plan
will allow personnel to understand their role in the program.
A well-organized O&M program will allow the following goals:
Standardize maintenance procedures,material,and spare parts
purchasing policies.
Utilize funding effectively and efficiently to maximize the asset value of
the system.
Provide the highest level of service to the customer base.
Perform all work on the system safely through personnel training.
Protect the public health by continually maintaining the system.
2.2 Budgeting
Appropriating adequate operational funds to facilitate proper levels of operation and
maintenance is prerequisite to implementation of a successful preventive
maintenance program. Lack of funding is a primary cause of neglect and resultant
deterioration. Annual line item budget development by the administrative staff,
engineer and operations superintendent is recommended. A key element of the
operation budget program is the tracking of costs in order to have accurate records
each time the annual operating budget is developed. Pikeville can develop the
budget by tracking maintenance and capital costs. Having an annual baseline
provides documentation for future budget considerations and provides justification for
future rate increases and other sources of funding. Some basic budgeting items to
consider are as follows:
2.3 Asset Management
Generally speaking, water and sanitary sewer systems are the largest capital assets a
public provider owns and operates. However, historically these systems have not
been operated as an asset. Recent changes in national accounting standards require
municipal governments to treat systems as an asset (GASB 34). Failure to meet the
standard may have an adverse effect on bonding capacity and ability to incur
indebtedness. Asset management is essentially managing infrastructure capital asset
to minimize the total cost of owning and operating it while delivering the service
level customers desire. A focus on asset management ensures that Pikeville will
utilize life cycle costing and value engineering when considering budgets and capital
improvements, which in turn can justify rate increases and financing requirements.
The key elements of asset management are:
• Management Information Systems.
• Asset identification and valuation.
• Failure impact evaluation and risk management.
• Condition assessment.
• Rehabilitation and replacement planning.
• Capacity assessment and assurance.
• Maintenance analysis and planning.
• Financial management.
• Continuous improvement.
2.3.1 GIS System
In order to organize, maintain and manage Pikeville infrastructure assets, a
comprehensive GIS database/mapping system has been developed. The GIS can
be used to:
1. Keep permanent records of Maintenance activities
2. Report completed and remaining defect repairs
3. Track and Plan segment specific repair programs
4. Maintain a complete system inventory
5. Track Customer Complaints
Additional data that can be input includes:
• customer data including street address and ID numbers,
• type of customer,
• EDUs,
• service line diameter and length and point of connection(sub-unit
and stationing),
• dye test status,
• dye test findings and sources of illegal flow,
• floor drain and or foundation drain connections,
• site tee status etc.;
• mainline data including;end manhole id's,length,slope,type,size,
• cleaning and root intrusion data,
• date of last CCTV and findings,
• CCTV findings including noted O&M as well as structural problems,
• number of taps by type(fitting or break-in),etc.
2.4 SSO Response Plan
Planning for emergencies, such as Sanitary Sewer Overflows, and developing reaction
plans to protect the public health and safety, and provide for environmental
protection is a key component to an O&M plan. The development of a response plan
and procedure will also allow Pikeville to inventory the necessary resources to
respond to those emergencies,and create a staffing plan accordingly.
The plan should contain a mechanism to keep the customers notified of impacts
to them, such as outages (including projected lengths of time), road closings, etc.
A representative from management should be given the role of dealing with the
media to address public concerns. All other employees should refer inquiries to this
designated spokesperson.
Included in Appendix A is an SSO Response Plan (SSORP). This document lists
the responsibilities and procedures necessary to effectively respond to an SSO event.
The plan includes a procedural form that allows standardization of the reporting of
the event in order to document the occurrence and report to the appropriate agencies.
2.5 Maintenance
Initial preventive maintenance program for the Pikeville sanitary sewer system will
be based on the manhole physical surveys and CCTV information. Initial preventive
maintenance for the Pikeville water system will be based on physical observation of
assets and monthly monitoring of water supply and water use (now quantified
through an automatic metering infrastructure system currently under construction).
2.6 Frequency of Maintenance Activities
As noted, a good preventive maintenance O&M program is based on a routine
operating procedure that assures that each component of the system is inspected
and necessary maintenance performed at appropriate intervals. Newer systems or
systems that have exhibited no operating problems such as backups, surcharges,
odors etc. will require less frequent inspection while those with chronic problems
will require more frequent inspection and maintenance activities. The frequency of
maintenance activities will depend on the nature of the problem. For instance
mainlines with chronic root problems may require semi-annual root cutting or
chemical treatment. Surcharging manholes should be inspected either during or
immediately after any significant precipitation event.
2.7 Manhole Accessibility Field Review Schedule
Accessibility to the sewer system is required in order to evaluate and maintain
the system. A primary initial objective of the O&M program will be to evaluate the
accessibility of each manhole in the system. Follow up accessibility reviews are
suggested as part of annual road paving programs and review/issuance of grading
and building permits as these activities are significant contributors to inaccessibility
problems. Pikeville should visit each manhole structure located in the system to
verify the following:
The manholes are accessible
The tops of the manholes are not buried or paved over.
The manhole lids have not been displaced,removed or damaged.
Each visitation to a manhole should be recorded and filed. Any change in status of
the manhole accessibility should be noted and a photograph of the manhole location
should be taken. If corrective action is required, Pikeville should schedule personnel
to correct the issue.
2.8 Manhole Physical Survey Schedule
Pikeville should internally inspect each manhole in the system every two years. A
physical inspection of each manhole will assist in proactively identifying defects in the
system before they deteriorate to the point of failure. It is recommended that at
least 10%of manholes be inspected each year. The goals of the physical survey are to:
Prevent the premature failure of the structures.
Identify collection system maintenance needs.
Identify any system surcharging/bypassing.
Maintain each manhole structure in a proactive manner.
Personnel working on the survey program should be properly trained regarding
confined space entry. The inspector should take photographs of any areas that require
repair. All deficiencies should be noted and ranked for repair scheduling.
Each survey should be considered as the initiation of a work order. The for m
should describe in some level of detail the nature of the repairs required.
2.9 Sewer Line Cleaning and CCTV Schedule
2.9.1 Cleaning and Root Removal Program
Pikeville should implement an annual cleaning and root removal program.
The Minimum Recommended Frequency guideline should be applied to all
line segments exhibiting chronic, or persistent,maintenance problems.
For initial planning and budget purposes, it is recommended that Pikeville
schedule cleaning approximately 10% of its total sewer collection system each
year. As part of the cleaning work, Pikeville should regularly analyze the
residual material for any pipe fragments so that future structural defects can
be efficiently located.
2.9.2 CCTV Program
In addition to the cleaning activities, Pikeville should implement a proactive
CCTV program to monitor the status of existing defects and identify
accelerated deterioration to schedule repairs. An annual CCTV program
targeted to monitor existing and identify new defects is recommended. Initial
r e-televising efforts should focus on those portions of the system (i.e.
manhole-to-manhole segments) that exhibit structural defects. Each manhole-
t o-manhole segment should be rated based on average defect Grade value
(i.e. Total Grade value of defects divided by total defects observed). These
sites should be revisited at least annually until the defects are stabilized,
eliminated or reduced.
The sewer line CCTV schedule will need to be adjusted on an annual basis,
as the condition of the sewer system will change over time. CCTV
information should be cataloged in the GIS database for pre and post
cleaning results. Review of CCTV comparative information will allow
Pikeville to track success and make adjustments to the maintenance schedules
as necessary.
2.10 O&M Plan Progress Evaluation
In addition to implementing an O&M plan, Pikeville will need to continually
develop and refine the plan through self- evaluation. The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) has published a cMOM Program Self-Assessment Checklist designed
to assist municipalities in identifying their strengths and areas needing improvement
g compliance. complete this checklist
regarding It is recommended that the Pikeville
g p
prior to implementation of an O&M plan in order to track improvements.
Pikeville should revisit the findings of this assessment at the end of each year,
and perform a more detailed evaluation to identify specific actions required to
improve the plan.
3.0 OVERVIEW METHODS
3.1 Physical Inspection
Physical inspection is essential to quantify the maintenance characteristics of the sewer
system. As part of a preventative maintenance routine, Pikeville should employ both
visual and equipment based techniques. Physical inspection of the system will provide:
A system inventory.
A means of identifying and quantifying the rehabilitation and maintenance
requirements.
A preventative maintenance plan.
An assessment of the current conditions in the system
A means of preparing an inventory of spare parts for emergencies.
As discussed, Pikeville will need to institute a regular manhole physical survey and
CCTV program. Additional physical inspection techniques that should be employed on
rehabilitated line segments are:
Mandrel testing
Vacuum testing
Air Testing
Mandrel testing should be performed to insure proper joint and pipe alignment which is
essential for proper operation. Air and vacuum testing can test the integrity of the pipe,
lateral and manhole structures to verify proper connections.
3.2 Cleaning
Blockages in sewer pipes are caused by either collapsed pipe or by accumulation of
materials in the pipe. Accumulation typically occurs from sags, root intrusion, protruding
taps or broken pipes. Prevention of material buildup requires systematic cleaning of the
system to insure against system failure.
Cleaning a sewer minimizes the potential for system blockages and keeps the system
operational. Cleaning also removes grit material, such as sand and stones, and prevents
such objects from reaching pump stations where it could cause detrimental effects.
There are various hydraulic and mechanical methods used to clean a sewer system.
Hydraulic methods employ high velocity water to clean the inverts of pipes and
manholes. Mechanical methods are used to remove encrustation and root intrusions.
SANITARY SEWER OVERFLOW RESPONSE PLAN
I. PURPOSE
Pikeville has structured this Sanitary Sewer Overflow Response Plan to satisfy
requirements for such plan consistent with Division of Water Quality reporting
requirements.
II. GENERAL
The Sanitary Sewer Overflow Response Plan (SSORP) is designed to define appropriate
actions upon notification of a possible sanitary sewage overflow caused by problems
within the Pikeville sewer system. Pikeville shall dispatch the appropriate personnel to
investigate the possible overflow, identify the responsible party (ies), and provide
appropriate customer service to minimize the effects of the overflow on public
health and quality of surface waters. The SSORP further includes provisions to ensure
safety pursuant to the directions provided by the North Carolina Division of Water
Quality and that notification and reporting is made to the appropriate local and
state agencies. For purposes of this SSORP, "confirmed sewage spill" is also
sometimes referred to as "sewer overflow," "overflow," or "SO." The effective date of
this plan will be referred to as"date."
A. Objectives
The primary objectives of the SSORP are to:
• protect public health and the environment,and
• satisfy the requirements of regulatory agencies and waste
discharge permits which address procedures for managing sanitary sewer
overflows.
Additional objectives of the SSORP are to:
• provide appropriate customer service,
• protect the wastewater treatment plants and collection
• protect the wastewater treatment plants and collection systems including
all related appurtenances and personnel,and
• protect property from overflows resulting from problems within a publicly
owned sanitary sewage system.
B. Organization of Plan
The key elements of the SSORP are addressed individually as follows:
Section I Purpose
Section II General
Section III Overflow Response Procedure
Section IV Regulatory Agency Notification Procedure
Section V Distribution and Maintenance of SSORP
III. OVERFLOW RESPONSE PROCEDURE
The Sanitary Sewer Overflow Response Procedure presents a strategy to mobilize labor,
materials, tools and equipment to correct or repair any condition, which may cause or
contribute to an un-permitted discharge from a publicly owned sanitary system. A wide
range of potential system failures is considered by the plan. Being prepared to respond to
system failures could lessen the effect of overflows to surface waters, land,or buildings.
A. Receipt of Information Regarding an SSO
System employees or the public may detect an overflow. Pikeville is primarily
responsible for receiving phone calls from the public notifying of possible
overflows from the wastewater collection system. Pikeville is then responsible for
forwarding the possible overflow information to the appropriate party.
The emergency response shall be available 24 hours per day, 365 days of the year.
1. The person at Pikeville receiving the call from the public will obtain
all relevant information available regarding the possible overflow
including:
a. Time and date call was received;
b. Specific location and/or address of possible overflow;
c. Description of problem;and
d. Caller's name and call back phone number.
2. Pump station failures are monitored and received by Pikeville. The
operator on duty shall convey all information regarding alarms to
Pikeville to initiate the investigation.
3. Sanitary sewer overflows detected by any personnel in the course of
their normal duties shall be reported to Pikeville. Dispatched personnel
should record all relevant overflow information and report back
information to Pikeville. Pikeville shall dispatch additional response
crews, equipment or contracted services as necessary.
4. It is the responsibility of Pikeville to gather all spill response data and
communicate this data as soon as possible. Until verified, the report of
a possible spill will be referred to as a "sewer inspection" (SI), not a
"sanitary sewer overflow"(SSO).
5. A sewer inspection or sewer overflow report should be completed by
Pikeville within 24 hours of the responding crew's confirmation of an
overflow. Pikeville is responsible for reviewing, updating, signing, and
submitting the final sewer inspection or overflow report form to the
proper agency.
B. Dispatch of Appropriate Crews to Site of Sewer
Failure of any element within the Pikeville owned and operated wastewater collection
system that threatens to cause or causes a sanitary sewage overflow will trigger a
response to isolate and correct the problem. Crews and equipment shall be available
to respond to any SI/SO locations. Crews will be dispatched to any site of a reported
SO as soon as possible.
1. Dispatching Crews
Upon receipt of a report of a sewage overflow, all response
crewmembers shall proceed to the Pikeville primary location
(wastewater treatment facility) where they will gather all necessary
equipment and resources before proceeding to the site of the
SI/SO. Delays or conflicts in assignments and issues regarding
equipment and resources should be reported to the Pikeville supervisor for
resolution.
The response personnel should report his/her findings, including possible
damage to public system and if assessable to a private party, to the
Pikeville Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC). If Pikeville has not
received findings within an appropriate time frame then they should
contact the response personnel to determine the status of the
investigation.
2. Additional Resources
Requests for additional personnel, material, supplies, and equipment
from response crews shall be received by the Pikeville ORC.
3. Preliminary Assessment of Damage to Private and Public Property
The response crews should use discretion in assisting property
owners/occupants who are affected by a SSO. Be aware that
Pikeville could face increased liability for any further damages
inflicted to private property during such assistance. Appropriate
photographs and video footage, if possible, should be taken of the area
of the SSO and impacted area, allowing for thorough documentation of
the nature and extent of the impact. Photographs or video tape are to be
forwarded to Pikeville for filing with the inspection/overflow report.
4. Coordination with Hazardous Material Response
• Upon arrival at the scene of a SSO, should a suspicious substance (e.g.,
oil sheen, foamy residue) be found on the ground surface, or should a
suspicious odor (e.g., gasoline) not common to the sewer system be
detected, response crew leader should contact the Pikeville ORC for
guidance before taking further action.
• Pikeville will alert the local fire department if necessary. The response
crew leader shall await the arrival of the local fire department.
• After arrival of the local fire department, response c r e w m e m b e r s
will take direction from the commanding officer of the local fire
department. Only when the commanding officer determines it is safe
and appropriate for the response crewm embers to proceed can
containment, clean up, and corrective activities be performed in
accordance with the SSORP.
• Vehicle engines, portable pumps, or open flames e. ., cigarette
( g
lighters) can provide the ignition for an explosion or fire should
flammable vapors or fluids be present at the site. Maintain a safe
distance and observe caution until and after assistance arrives.
5. Post-Cleanup Activities
• Pikeville should conduct a follow up visit the site of the overflow, if
possible, to ensure the provisions of the SSORP and other directives were
properly followed.
• The response crew leader is responsible for confirming that the SI/SO
Report was provided to Pikeville.
C. Overflow Correction,Containment,and Clean-Up
Blocked sewers, pipe failures, or mechanical p pmalfunctions can cause sanitary
sewage overflows. Other natural and man-mad g e disturbances are also possible
causes of sanitary sewer overflows.
This section describes specific actions to be performed by response crews during
an SSO. The objectives of these actions are to:
• Determine the apparent cause of the overflow, for example whether
the cause lies in the publicly owned sewer or a private lateral;
• protect public health,the environment, and property by minimizing SSO
impacts as soon as possible;
• establish perimeters with appropriate barricades and control zones with
vehicles or natural topography(e.g.,hills,berms);
communicate preliminary overflow information and potential impacts as
soon as practical to the regulatory agency,and
contain the SSO to the maximum extent possible including preventing
the discharge of sanitary sewage into surface waters.
Circumstances may arise when Pikeville could benefit from the support of private-
sector construction assistance.
I. Responsibilities of Response Crew Upon Arrival
It is the responsibility of the first personnel who arrive at the site of a sanitary
sewer overflow to protect the health and safety of the public by mitigating
the impact of the overflow to the extent possible. Should the overflow not be
the responsibility of Pikeville, but there is imminent danger to public health,
public or private property, or to the waters of the U. S., then prudent action
should be taken until the responsible party assumes control and provides
remedial actions.
Upon arrival at a SSO,the response crew should do the following:
Determine the cause of the sanitary sewer overflow,
If necessary, identify and request additional resources to correct
the overflow or to determine its cause,
Determine if private property is impacted. If it is, Pikeville should
inform the Jones County Health Department and Division Office of
the Division of Water Quality.
Appropriate personnel, materials, supplies, and/or equipment
which can be dispatched to minimize the impact of the overflow.
1. Initial Measures for Containment
Initiate measures to contain the SSO,thereby minimizing impact to
public health or the environment.
2. Additional Measures Under Potentially Prolonged Overflow
Conditions.
In the event of a prolonged sewer line blockage or a sewer line collapse, a
determination should be made to set up a portable by- pass pumping
operation around the obstruction.
Appropriate measures shall be taken to effectively handle the
sewage flow.
Continuous or periodic monitoring shall be implemented as
required.
Regulatory agency issues shall be addressed in conjunction with
emergency repairs.
3. Cleanup
Sewer overflow sites are to be promptly cleaned to the highest degree
possible after an overflow. No readily identifiable residue is to remain in
the area of the SSO.
The SSO site is to be secured to prevent access to the site by
the public until the site has been thoroughly cleaned.
Where practical, the area is to be thoroughly flushed and cleaned of
any sewage or wash-down water. Solids and debris are to be
transported for proper disposal.
Where appropriate, the overflow site is to be disinfected and
ponds formed by the SSO will be pumped dry and the residue
will be disposed of properly.
D. Overflow Report
An overflow report shall be completed by the response personnel, who shall
promptly notify the Pikeville ORC when the overflow is eliminated.
To properly complete an overflow report:
Determine if the SSO may have impacted the surface waters.
Characterize the SSO by evaluating the following:
a. Sewage overflows to stormwater system,
b. Preplanned or emergency maintenance jobs involving
bypass pumping,
c. Overflows where observation or on-site evidence clearly
indicates all sanitary sewage was retained on land and did not
reach surface water and where cleanup occurs, and
d. Any other pertinent information relating to each individual SSO.
• Use one of the following criteria to estimate the start date/time of the SSO:
a. Information reported to Pikeville and later substantiated by a
sewer investigator,or
b. Visual observation.
•Use one of the following criteria to estimate the end date/time of the SSO:
a. When the blockage is cleared or flow is controlled or contained; or
(When the flow of the sanitary sewer is controlled or contained by
removing the blockage)
b. The arrival time of the sewer investigator or response crew, if the
overflow stopped between the time it was reported and the time of
arrival.
•Estimate the flow rate of the SSO in gallons per minute(GPM)by:
a. Direct observations of the overflow or;
b. Estimated measurement of actual overflow.
• Estimate the volume of the sanitary sewer overflow when rate of
overflow is known by:
a. Multiplying the duration of the overflow by the overflow rate.
• Photograph the event.
• Describe any damage to the exterior areas of public/private property.
IV. REGULATORY AGENCY NOTIFICATION PLAN
The Regulatory Agency Notification Plan establishes procedures that Pikeville shall follow
to provide formal notice to the Division of Water Quality as necessary in the event of
S S O s. The following reporting criteria explain to whom various forms of notification
should be sent, and lists agencies/individuals to be contacted.
Notification Procedure:
Pikeville should notify the county regulatory agency representatives as soon as
possible and keep them abreast of response actions and final corrective actions.
Notification will be by telephone or by fax no later than twenty-four (24) hours or
the next working day after an overflow is confirmed.
V. DISTRIBUTION AND MAINTENANCE OF SSORP
Annual updates to the SSORP should be made to reflect all changes in policies and
procedures as may be required to achieve its objectives.
A. Submittal and Availability of SSORP
All other personnel who may become incidentally involved in responding to overflows
should be familiar with the SSORP.
B. Review and Update of SSORP
The SORP should be reviewed and amended as appropriate. Pikeville should:
