Dear Ms. Manuel,
Please permit this letter to respond to the above referenced Notice of Violation & Intent to
Issue Civil Penalty received on June 26, 2024. As graciously requested in the letter, the
following evidence and justification demonstrates that these events were exceptional,
unintentional, temporary, and beyond reasonable control of the utility. This evidence will also
establish the significant costs and actions taken to stop the discharge; contain the release of
untreated wastewater; collect the wastewater, and restore any possible environmental
impacts. Further, it demonstrates the City of Durham Department of Water Management's
(DWM) strong commitment to and investment in preventing and mitigating sanitary sewer
overflows (SSO). All conditions of the City's Collection System permit are met by the
Department, including system cleaning, site visits, inspections, and easement maintenance.
As such, we respectfully request that no civil penalties be assessed for the SSOs that occurred in
the City's wastewater collection system between May 1, 2024 and May 31, 2024.
Incident##202400846 — May 1, 2024 — 400 Muldee Street
On May 1, 2024 at 12:08 PM, an overflow occurred near 400 Muldee Street releasing an
estimated 860 gallons of wastewater into a tributary of Eilerbe Creek. Crews discovered that
vandalism was the primary cause of the spill as they found the manhole ajar with wood and
concrete debris clogging the infrastructure. Crews manually removed the debris and then used
a JetVac truck to successfully clear the line. After assessing the extent of the spill, crews
dammed the downstream creek with sandbags, set up a 4-inch pump to pump the untreated
wastewater back into the collection system, and flushed the area using a nearby hydrant
(dechlorinated water). This approach contained the sewer flow and minimized the
environmental impact on the surrounding land and downstream waters.
Crews replaced the standard manhole lid and casting with a bolt -down model in order to
prevent future tampering and vandalism. In addition, crews completed manhole inspections on
the nearby manholes to ensure no additional vandalism of the system had occurred and used a
JetVac truck to clean the three upstream and three downstream pipe reaches to ensure the
pipes were clear.

The City's Stormwater Services Division responded and conducted ammonia testing to
determine the spill's extent and advise the Department when the site returned to normal
conditions. Visual inspection of the affected area and downstream waters confirmed there
were no immediately visible adverse environmental impacts or hazards to persons or property,
including no fish kill or unnecessary vegetative damage.
The Department's cost to remediate this spill was $3,966.52.

The incident leading to this spill is exceptional, unintentional, temporary, and caused by factors
beyond reasonable control. The staff immediately responded to the incident to mitigate the
impact of the spill and used every effort to ensure the infrastructure and environment was
restored. The Department replaced the standard infrastructure with bolted down manhole lids
to prevent further vandalism of the system at this location.
Incident #202401021— May 30, 2024 —1324 Maplewood Drive
On May 30, 2024 at 4:23 PM, an overflow was reported near 1324 Maplewood Drive releasing
an estimated 270 gallons of wastewater into a tributary of Ellerbe Creek. Crews discovered that
grease in the line was the primary cause of the blockage and used a JetVac truck to successfully
clear the line. After assessing the extent of the spill, crews dammed the downstream creek with
sandbags, set up a 6-inch pump to pump the untreated wastewater back into the collection
system, and flushed the area using a nearby hydrant (dechlorinated water). This approach
contained the sewer flow and minimized the environmental impact on the surrounding land
and downstream waters. Crews used a JetVac truck to clean the three upstream and three
downstream pipe reaches to ensure the pipes were clear.
In the follow up cleaning, crews found debris as well as grease in the manholes. Due to the
proximity of the spill to the City's Dearborn lift station, staff prioritized the cleaning of the
gravity main reaches Between the spill location and the lift station. No significant debris were
found during follow up with only moderate grease being identified in a few of the lines.

The City's Stormwater Services Division responded and conducted ammonia testing to
determine the spill's extent and advise the Department when the site returned to normal
conditions. Visual inspection of the affected area and downstream waters confirmed there
were no immediately visible adverse environmental impacts or hazards to persons or property,
including no fish !till or unnecessary vegetative damage.
The incident was reported to the Department's Industrial Waste staff so they could canvas the
neighborhood with information about the effects of non -woven and grease in the collection
system. Industrial Waste staff educate the community about the appropriate disposal options,
as well as providing interactive giveaways like grease trappers through the website. They
distributed 37 mailings regarding the appropriate disposal of nonwovens and grease to educate
the community.
The Department's cost to remediate this spill was $9,420.73.
The incident leading to this spill is exceptional, unintentional, temporary, and caused by factors
beyond reasonable control. The staff immediately responded to the incident to mitigate the
impact of the spill and used every effort to ensure the infrastructure and environment was
restored. The Department has made consistent efforts to prevent such an incident by regular
cleaning of the sewer system, a cyclical hot spot program, and constant engagement with the
community about proper waste removal. In addition, the Division coordinates with City paving
projects to perform pre -paving and post -paving inspections on manholes and gravity mains to
ensure that no debris enter the collection system.
Ongoing City -Wide Measures to Reduce the Occurrence of SSO Incidents
DWM has several programs in place to prevent and reduce the occurrence of 550 incidents.
DWM has implemented a Collection System Management, Operations & Maintenance (CMOM)
plan that expands and enhances its existing programs.
System Flushing and Inspection:
DWM routinely contracts cleaning, CCTV inspection, smoke testing, and manhole inspections of
portions of the sewer collection system. DWM completes the inspection of the collection
system systematically based on City defined geographical basins.
In FY23, DWM spent about $22 million on Sewer Rehabilitation projects as a part of its Capital
Improvements Programs. DWM ensures the requirements of the collection system permit are
met by deploying City crews to clean at least 10% of the collection system annually. DWM
measures the cleaning on a fiscal year basis starting July 1.

Sewer Rehabilitation Program:
DWM has an active Sewer Rehabilitation Program. The program includes flow monitoring (25
permanent monitors), CCTV inspection, manhole inspection, easement mowing, field
inspections and investigations, point repairs, line replacement, root and grease abatement and
cured -in -place manhole and line rehabilitation.
There are seven full-time equivalents (FTEs) employees dedicated to DWM's system
rehabilitation programs in the Utility Engineering Division of the Department. This workgroup
handles flow monitoring and system data management and contract preparation,
administration, and inspections.
There are 20 FTEs in the City's Collections Line Maintenance (CLM) workgroup in the Sewer
Maintenance Division of DWM. This group performs CCTV inspections, hydraulic cleaning
activities, manhole inspections, and manhole repairs. They respond to all reported concerns
including blockages and overflows. In addition, the CLM crews are supported by the Excavation
Services workgroup who perform identified point repairs, line replacements, and cured -in -place
lining.
The Lift Station Maintenance workgroup (LSM) focuses on oversight and maintenance of the 61
lift stations throughout the service area. This workgroup of 17 FTEs conducts required daily,
weekly, monthly, and annual inspections and associated preventive maintenance activities.
The 11 FTEs in the Outfall Maintenance (OFM) workgroup perform routine inspection and
mowing of easements and inspection of the designated high priority lines. In addition, they
facilitate the inspections and repair of the 136 air relief valves (ARVs) in the City's sewer
system.
Fats, Oils, and Grease Program (FOG):
The department's FOG education and outreach effort is conducted by three FTEs. (Staff are
shared between the Industrial Pretreatment, Septage and FOG Programs). In addition to
working with the Durham County Health Department, staff routinely inspect over 800 food
service establishments (FSEs) annually to ensure appropriate cleaning and maintenance of
grease interceptors. Staff participate in community events, such as Earth Day, Center Fest and
the Bimbe Festival, as well as neighborhood meetings. Department staff deliver residential Fat
Trappers to increase awareness of the proper disposal methods for waste. DWM staff also
conduct past-SSO follow-up education and enforcement as necessary. DWM invests over
$50,000 per year in advertising the proper disposal of FOG on television. Staff post to the City's
quarterly newsletter, the Durham Digest, along with multiple mentions in the City Manager's
Report known as City Connect, to reach a broad range of Durham residents.
Summary:
Based upon the documented information provided above regarding this incident, DWM
believes that this SSO was exceptional, unintentional, temporary, and caused by factors beyond
the City and Department's control. DWM actively manages, operates, and maintains its system
in such a manner as to meet or exceed all the requirements of the Collection System permit. As
detailed above, DWM systematically inspects, flushes, and rehabilitates its wastewater
collection system. The Department also actively works to regulate and educate the community
regarding what should and should not be discharged into the City's sewer collection system.
The department staff welcomes the opportunity to meet with you and your staff to review our
program and discuss constructive ways to improve what we are already doing in the City of
Durham. If you have any questions or need any additional information, please do not hesitate
to contact Kenny Willard, Collection System Maintenance Superintendent, at (919) 560-4381 or
via email at Kenny.Willard@durhamnc.gov or myself at Don.Greeley@durhamnc.gov .

How was the SSO remediated (i.e. Stopped and cleaned up)?
After crew arrived onsite they tried to stop overflow with mini flusher but were unsuccessful. They used 'et/vac combo to
flush line with vacuum tube in manhole. After knocking the pressure of the flow down they were able to see the sticks an(
concrete blocking the invert headed downstream. They removed the debris that had been tossed in the manhole
remediating all issues. Crews cleaned up around manhole removing all sail that was touched by wastewater and uttin
back seed and straw in the area. We set up a pump downstream with sandbags blocking the flow. We used the pump to
remove all untreated wastewater from Ellerbe Creek and pump it back into manhole 21666 where we tested for zero
ammonia levels. Crew will continue to monitor area until bolt down manhole is complete. Local storm water quality was
called to inform them as well of the overflow to test creek levels for pump removal.
