Aqua North Carolina, Inc. March 1, 2018
Sanitary Sewer Overflow(SSO) Response Action Plan Revision
0
I. PURPOSE
a. To effectively respond to and remediate sanitary sewer overflows to protect
public health and the environment and to comply with all regulatory
requirements
b. Sanitary sewer overflows can be caused by numerous events and/or
obstructions including substantial rain events, root intrusion, grease buildup,
etc. The best practice to eliminate or minimize SSOs is through preventive
maintenance. If an SSO does occur, it is the responsibility of the utility to
respond as quickly as possible to mitigate the SSO and reduce and remove the
hazard.
II. DEFINITIONS
a. Sanitary Sewer Overflow - Discharges of raw sewage from municipal sanitary
sewer systems or from privately owned sewer collection systems. SSOs can
release untreated sewage into basements or out of manholes and onto city
streets, playgrounds, and into streams before it can reach a treatment facility.
SSOs are often caused by blockages in sewer lines and breaks in the sewer
lines.
III. SCOPE
a. This procedure applies to all employees that may deal with SSOs. At a
minimum, these procedures will be reviewed on an annual basis or whenever
revised guidance from state or federal authorities dictates a revision is
necessary.
IV. RESPONSE TIME REQUIREMENTS
a. Upon notification of a spill or utility outage, operators or utility workers shall
respond and take action to safeguard life and the property immediately.
V. Procedure
1. Initial Service Call
Page1 ...............................................................................
a) When a report of an SSO is received, the operator/utility worker shall notify
the supervisor immediately and advise he/she is responding to a SSO
response.
2. Initial Response
a) The first responder should respond immediately and confirm the SSO.
Responder should notify Regional Supervisor (or on-call Supervisor for
after-hours). Supervisor is required to report to the site.
Once SSO is confirmed, implement all necessary safety measures including
road closures, barricading area, etc.
b) Contain spill as much as possible. (See Containment Procedures)
c) The first responder should observe and document the estimated volume of
the SSO.
d) If any wastewater reaches the surface waters of the state, poses a threat to
human health or the environment, or exceeds 1,000 gallons, it must be
reported to North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (NCDENR) within 24 hours. (See Section VI. SSO Reporting
Procedures and VIII. SSO Affecting Waters of the State)
e) Take photographs of area for documentation.
f) Determine corrective actions to be taken and execute.
3. Implementation of Corrective Actions
a) Determine cause of SSO and restore the flow as soon as possible.
b) Check downstream manhole for flow and accessibility.
c) Mobilize equipment (vacuum truck,jetter, etc).
d) Try to break loose obstruction from downstream manhole.
e) Should conditions warrant and responders are unable to restore the flow,
the supervisor shall contact qualified, emergency subcontractors (list
attached).
f) If flow cannot be restored, bypass pumping may need to be installed and
further planning will be needed to correct the problem.
4. Clean-up
a) If flow cannot be restored, bypass pumping may need to be installed and
further planning will be needed to correct the problem.
b) Apply time to all affected areas.
c) Take photographs of area for documentation.
d) Provide notification to regulatory agency and local environmental office of
completed corrective actions and clean-up.
e) If the SSO was determined to be 15,000 gallons or more to surface water or
have the potential to affect public health, a public notification must be
executed within 24 hours.
5. Follow-up Once Flow is Restored
a) Schedule wastewater line to be cleaned and visually inspected with CCTV
equipment.
b) Document inspection and determine if further action is necessary. If so,
schedule as needed.

VI. SSO REPORTING PROCEDURES
1. Upon discovery of a possible SSO, the responding operator or utility worker shall
notify the Collections ORC and/or Regional Supervisor. If the system is permitted
per 15A NCAC 08G.03, the Collections System ORC and/or Back-up ORC must
also be notified.
2. Regional Supervisor shall notify Area Manager who is then responsible for notifying
the Director of Operations and Manager of Environmental Compliance.
3. If media communications are required, the Area Manager shall inform Director of
Operations and Manager of Environmental Compliance immediately to request
assistance from Corporate.
4. Before any SSO is reported to the state, the ORC or the Backup ORC (if permitted)
or Regional Supervisor (deemed systems) must visit and evaluate the spill site
within 24 hours (required by permit). Once evaluated, a panel consisting of the
responding operators, ORC, and Regional Supervisor shall discuss the spill,
determine estimated volumes and determine causes before calling the Division
within the 24-hour time frame.
5. Reportable spills must be called into NC DWQ within 24 hours of first knowledge
of discharge. DWQ-Regional Office should be contacted during normal business
hours. The date, time, incident number and person contacted must be documented
on the Spill Report Form.
6. During weekends and holidays when DWQ cannot be reached, The Division of
Emergency Management must be called at 1-800-858-0368. Spill Report is
documented the same way as during normal business hours. Upon arriving to work
on the first business day after the spill, DWQ must be contacted and given the
reported spill incident number.
7. Spill Reporting:
a. ORC and/or responding operator completes the DEQ - 5Day Report within
48 hours of the spill.
b. ORC forwards completed form to Regional Supervisor and Area Manager
for review and comment. Corrections must be made within 24 hours.
c. Regional Supervisor provides 5-day report to Manager of Environmental
Compliance within 72 hours of spill. He/she (or designee) is responsible for
submitting to DEQ within 5 business days of the event.
d. These forms must be readily available to DEQ staff for three (3)years.
Page3 ........................................................................._..
Summary of Reporting Requirements
SSO Event Reporting Requirements
All Discharges Immediately report to ORC
Discharge >1,000 gallons Report to state within 24 hours, Spill Report faxed within
5 days
Discharge to Waters of the State, Report to state within 24 hours, Spill Report faxed within ,
including storm drains 5 days
Discharge >1,000 gal to Surface 1. Report to state within 24 hours, Spill Report faxed
Water within 5 days
2. Press release within 24 hours of first knowledge of
SSO.
Discharge of 15,000 gal or more to 1. Report to state within 24 hours, Spill Report faxed
Surface Water within 5 days
2. Press release within 24 hours of SSO.
3. Certified public notice within 10 days and proof shall
be provided to the Division within 30 days
VII. CONTAINMENT
Immediately upon SSO discovery, employees shall assess the situation and mobilize
resources necessary to remove any blockage, contain the SSO, and stabilize the overflow
condition. Notification should be made to the ORC at this time. As soon as the extent of
the SSO has been determined, a containment berm or a dam should be established at the
lower edge of the SSO or at an area that meets the needs of containment and clean-up
operations. The containment dam should be large enough to prevent breaching in dry
weather conditions.
SPILLS INVOLVING ASPHALT OR CONCRETE
1. Set up containment at or near any threatened storm drainage system; every attempt
should be made to prevent the spill from entering the drainage structures.
2. Spread dry sand or absorbent material to a depth of 1 inch. Let stand for one hour and
sweep up. If moisture or grease is still present, repeat.
3. After removing the contaminated material, wash down the area with high water
pressure and a mild bleach solution and then pump residue back into the sewer
system.
If the spill enters a storm drainage structure, a Reportable Spill has occurred and
therefore a Spill Report should be filed with NC DWQ and treated as a SSO affecting
Waters of the State. Reported volumes would include the initial estimated spill + plus
flush water - minus the calculated amount removed prior to storm drain entrance.
FORCE MAIN OR INACCESSIBLE GRAVITY SEWER SPILL
In the event a spill occurs at a pump station with no bypass capability or at a force main or
gravity sewer where no access to a dump point exists, pump and haul or bypass
operations shall be considered. Where pump and haul operations are deemed the best
solution, wastewater will be collected from the closest tanker access point for continuous
loading operations. Consideration should be made for traffic control, noise, access, etc. A
Page 4
Pump & Haul Record Form must be completed for each load. If Aqua-North Carolina does
not have the internal capabilities of containing the SSO, an outside contractor shall be
used. See below for a list of pump providers and pump and haul tanker services.

VIII. SSOs AFFECTING WATERS OF THE STATE
Waters of the United States-As defined by the Clean Water Act,40 CFR 230.3(s)
All waters which are currently used, or were used in the past, or may be susceptible to
use in interstate or foreign commerce, including all waters which are subject to the ebb
and flow of the tide;
1. All interstate waters including interstate wetlands;
2. All other waters such as intrastate lakes, rivers, streams (including intermittent
streams), mudflats, sandflats, wetlands, sloughs, prairie potholes, wet meadows, playa
lakes, or natural ponds, the use, degradation or destruction of which could affect
interstate or foreign commerce including any such waters:
a. Which are or could be used by interstate or foreign travelers for recreational or
other purposes;
b. From which fish or shellfish are or could be taken and sold in interstate or
foreign commerce;
c. Which are used or could be used for industrial purposes by industries in
interstate commerce;
3. All impoundments of waters otherwise defined as waters of the United States under
this definition;
4. Tributaries of waters identified in paragraphs (s)(1) through (4) of this section;
5. The territorial sea;
6. Wetlands adjacent to waters (other than waters that are themselves wetlands)
identified in paragraphs (s)(1) through (6) of this section; waste treatment systems,
including treatment ponds or lagoons designed to meet the requirements of CWA
(other than cooling ponds as defined in 40 CFR 423.11(m) which also meet the criteria
of this definition) are not waters of the United States.
Waters of the United States do not include prior converted cropland. Notwithstanding the
determination of an area's status as prior converted cropland by any other federal agency,
for the purposes of the Clean Water Act, the final authority regarding Clean Water Act
jurisdiction remains with EPA.
PROCEDURES:
Page 5 ....
1. Building of containment devices should ONLY be performed if the responding crew
has the right equipment and expertise to safely build without impacting dry weather
flow conditions. If the responding crew does not have the capability/expertise, please
contact an environmental contractor.
2. Take dissolved oxygen readings of the receiving stream to determine the proper
placement of containment/diversion devices within the intervals on the Field
Reporting Form. The following items shall be considered when determining dam
location:
a. Proximity to manhole
b. Accessible to jet/vacuum truck
c. Lowest measured conductivity reading
3. Build a containment device using dirt that is capable of handling creek and hydrant
flow without breaching during dry weather conditions. Position two pumps at the dam
capable of handling creek and hydrant flow with one pump in use and the second as
backup. Pump SSO release from the dam into the manhole.
4. Put up warning tape, "Danger Do Not Enter" from the SSO site to the pump site on
both sides of the creek in populated areas. In unpopulated areas restrict access
where there is any chance of human contact with the SSO.
5. Flush the stream with de-chlorinated hydrant water to remove wastewater from creek.
Continue to pump and flush the stream until the conductivity readings are equivalent
to the higher of either upstream or hydrant water readings. Make sure that all
readings taken during cleanup are recorded on the Field Reporting Form and taken
within the intervals listed on the form.
6. If there is rip-rap in the creek, wash down with high water pressure until there is no
noticeable waste residue remaining on or within the rip-rap structure.
7. If the creek flows into a body of water used for recreation and/or drinking water
supply, notify the affected officials as soon as possible.
8. Continue periodic monitoring of Dissolved Oxygen readings. All additional readings
should be notated on the Field Readings Form. Take an upstream and downstream
fecal coliform every 24 hours as needed until the waterway is restored to pre-event
condition.
SSO NOT REACHING WATERS OF THE STATE
1. In open areas spread powdered lime heavily over the spill site, till into the ground and
then repeat the procedure again but not within 24 hours of predicted rain fall event.
2. Seed the disturbed area and place straw over the tilled area. Soil may need to be
removed and replaced with clean fill material for a large spill where the ground has
become saturated.

Revision
Contingency Plan 0
I. PURPOSE
a. To effectively respond to emergencies within the sanitary sewer collection
system. Purpose is to protect public health and the environment and to comply
with all regulatory requirements
II. SCOPE
a. This procedure applies to all employees that may respond to emergencies at
pump stations within a collection system. At a minimum, these procedures will
be reviewed on an annual basis or whenever revised guidance from state or
federal authorities dictates a revision is necessary.
III. RESPONSE TIME REQUIREMENTS
a. Upon notification of a spill or utility outage, operators or utility workers shall
respond and take action to safeguard life and the property immediately.
IV. PLAN
Aqua North Carolina, Inc. (ANC) owns and operates 8 wastewater pump
stations listed in Table 1. The pump stations owned and operated by ANC are
routinely checked by trained personnel.
ANC has a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system for the 8
pump stations. The SCADA remotely monitors pump station operations, and
sends alarms to the ANC 24-hour dispatch in the event of a malfunction or
emergency. The SCADA system records all activities at a pump station and
provides a hard-copy printout for backup documentation. The SCADA provides
continuous status of pump station operations for the following items:
• Status of pumps (including operational alarms)
• Pump start / stop cycles
• Power status (including power failure alarms)

Pump rebuilding, motor rewinds, and HVAC repairs for the pump stations are
contracted to Charles Underwood, Inc.. Repairs to motor control centers, flow
meters, remote monitoring equipment, and valves are typically repaired by
ANC's maintenance crews or an ANC Contractor.
All repairs are recorded and tracked with the CMMS system.
1. Emergency Support
Addressing some problems may require resources beyond ANC forces. This is
particularly true of main line breaks or major pump station failures where there
is a risk of a significant sewer overflow. In these situations, ANC may enlist the
aid of contractor that specializes in these services. ANC maintains a general
services agreement with several companies for situations that require the
prompt reconstruction of sewer lines.
These companies are capable of mobilizing construction equipment and
personnel quickly to handle emergency assignments. ANC contract for
emergency sewer repairs requires the contractor to respond to the site within 2
hours of notification to mobilize. This response time and the level of response
will vary due to several factors, some are identified below:
• Location of the sewer repair in relation to the contractor's equipment
yard
• Scope of the repair, size of sewer, depth of sewer and volume of flow
• The size, type and availability of equipment and number of workers
• The time of day, day of the week and the proximity to a holiday
• Weather conditions, clear, rain, snow, extreme cold or heat
Spill Contractor:
In the event of a spill that cannot be controlled by ANC, We Pump It, Inc. will
provide professional services for the removal and disposal of contaminated
material.
Emergency Contractor:
In the event that a pump station failure occurs that is exceeds ANC available
on-staff response; an emergency contractor will be requested to assist.
Contractors may be requested for emergency power generation, by-pass
pumping situations, or large excavations.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
A. PROBLEM: Wastewater Pump Station Alarms General Response Actions
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES:
• Send an individual to the station indicating an alarm as soon as possible for a
Priority Alarm. If failure is apparent, call for additional assistance and keep an
individual at the station until further instructions are received.
• Always check with the power company when an alarm goes on to see if there is
a power outage in the area, although a power failure that has not been
reported to the power company can occur at a pump station. The pole number
nearest the station should be reported.
• Personnel called in to investigate pump station alarms shall respond to the
station even if the alarm has cleared prior to their arrival. All alarm conditions
are to be checked and logged. Use the following guidelines and follow
confined space entry procedures if applicable:
Wetwell/Drywell Type Stations
1. Observe all safety precautions per training. If a Confined Space Entry (CSE)
is required, notify the Regional Supervisor Immediately. A contractor will be
requested to respond.
2. Note any unusual odors - i.e. burning electrical equipment or paint.
3. Listen and note any unusual noises.
4. Check for heat around pump motors and pump bearing housings. Note any
which seem unusually hot.
5. Observe every piece of equipment in the station. Note anything that looks
out of place.
6. Record all gauge readings including wet well level, hour meters, on-off
levels, psi gauges on pump, rpm (on VFD's) and anything else that you feel
is significant.
7. Using available information and the trouble shooting guide, systematically
run through the system. Use a process of elimination to identify the cause
of the failure. Check the level controls, check pump operation using manual
position, check pump output by pressing on check valve counterweight as
defined in the trouble-shooting guide. Once the cause of the problem is
isolated, engage mechanical or electrical disciplines for repairs.
8. Emergency personnel should be absolutely certain that the cause of the
pump station alarm or failure has been properly identified and corrected
prior to leaving the station.
9. Reset any/all alarm feature indicator lights.
Submersible Type Stations
1. Take all safety precautions per training.
2. Listen for any unusual noises and note if pump(s) are running.
3. Observe every piece of equipment in the station (pay specific attention to
the level control system). Note anything that looks out of place.
4. Record all gauge readings from the control panel including: wet well level,
hour meters, flow charts, on-off levels, psi gauges on pump, rpm (on VHD's)
and anything else that you feel is significant.
5. Using available information and the trouble-shooting guide, systematically
run through the system. Use a process of elimination to isolate the cause of
the failure. Check level controls, check pump operation using manual
position, check pump output by observing the check valve counterweight as
defined in the trouble shooting guide. Once the cause of the problem is
isolated, engage mechanical or electrical disciplines for repairs
6. Emergency personnel should be absolutely certain that the cause of the
pump station alarm or failure has been properly identified and corrected
prior to leaving the station.
7. Reset any/all alarm feature indicator lights.
• Check the O&M manual to trouble shoot the level sensor system and pump
controls
• Pumps may be checked easily for operation by checking the arm of the check-
' valve in the discharge line of an operating pump. If it feels "spongy" (or soft)
when downward pressure is applied with the palm of the hand, the pump is
pumping. If a breaker is off and the pump motor is hot to the touch, DO NOT
attempt to reset and start. If a pump motor is simply warm, one attempt to
restart can be made. Turning the selector switch to manual will normally start a
pump, and the check valve arm should move upwards. If the pump has lost
prime or is lugged, the check valve will not open.
B. PROBLEM: Pumping Station Failure Caused by Secondary Power Failure During
Power Outage
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES:
• Dispatch pump station crew to the pumping station immediately. The crew
needs to bring the auxiliary generator for that specific station as a backup,
assuming that repair to the dedicated generator cannot be made immediately.
• Upon entry, identify the storage capacity in the well. This will give some
indication of the time available for response. If flooded, skip to pump-out steps
under "Pumping Station Failure inside valve pit, pump or valve failure"
procedure.
• Dispatcher shall request the assistance of the power company in restoring
power to the station if necessary. Determine the estimated time of arrival of
the power company crew and then notify the pumping station operators.
• As they approach the pumping station, the pumping station crew should check
the overhead power lines for fuses that might have blown or down power lines.
If the crew notices a blown fuse or down power line, identify the location and
pole number(s), and notify the dispatcher to relay this information to the power
company.
• Lock out and tag out (LOTO) the main line, disconnect (if applicable).
• Check all components of the dedicated generator to determine failure cause.
Use the manufacturer-prepared trouble-shooting guide to aid in diagnosis. If it
cannot be repaired immediately, connect the portable generator to the
auxiliary power connection located outside the building. Examine plug type and
ensure consistency. Use adapters as necessary.
• Go through the specific procedures for starting the generator to supply power
to the station.
• Obtain the services of a qualified generator repair facility to address the
dedicated generator failure.
• Once fully repaired, disconnect the portable generator and reconnect the
dedicated unit. Operate the dedicated unit through several pump cycles.
Check unit for regular exercise.
C. PROBLEM: Pumping Station Failure Inside Valve Pit, pump or valve failure
(submersible type application)
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES:
• Dispatch pumping station crew to the pumping station immediately.
• Prior to viewing the wetwell, measure the atmospheric conditions for sufficient
oxygen and the presence of explosive or toxic gases.
• Upon arrival the crew should identity the storage capacity in the wetwell. This
will give some indication of the time available for response. If flooded, skip to
pump-out steps.
• Inspect the main controls looking for failure indications. Check processor to
determine failure if applicable. If pump failure is determined, skip to wetwell
inspection steps.
• Inspect the valvepit. Observe all valves and force mains. If flooded, arrange to
pump out the valve pit or pump-and-haul as appropriate. If failure within the
valvepit is detected, skip to pump-out steps.
• Constantly monitor the atmospheric conditions while working in or above the
wetwell. Inspect the wetwell. Check the wetwell floats or level control system,
bar rack and pump volute area for clogging or other problems.
Pump-Out Steps
• If pump failure, determine if pump out and/or pump-and-haul is necessary. If
unnecessary, skip to repair procedures.
• Pump the flow with portable pumps if available. Call additional crew to bring
appropriate portable pump(s) including all required lengths of suction and
discharge hose, to the pumping station if necessary. Upon arrival of the
portable pump, connect the appropriate lengths of suction hose that will
suspend all the way into the wetwell, and then connect enough discharge hose
to pump into appropriate manhole or connection (if so equipped). Go through
the procedures for starting the portable pump, and begin pumping.
• If the station does not contain a force main connection point, arrange for
pump-and-haul as required.
Repair Steps
• Lock out and tag out (LOTO) the main line, disconnect (if applicable).
• Complete repairs to pipe, pump or valve as per policy. ANC Personnel are not
allowed to perform a CSE. If a CSE is required, notify the Regional Supervisor
Immediately. A contractor will be required to complete remaining work. If
permanent materials are not readily available, install temporary repairs until the
permanent repairs can be completed.
• Restore facilities to normal and inspect other components of the force main
and pumping system for signs of similar failure.
• Shut down portable pumping operation. Do not disconnect hoses until repair is
checked for leaks. Operate pumps to check repair under pressure and normal
operating conditions.
• If no leaks are observed, return pumps to normal conditions by removing
LOTO. Monitor pumps to check lead/lag operations.
• Make out a report indicating the time of the call, description of the problem,
the repair work done, personnel present and equipment used.

Sanitary Sewer Overflow(SSO) Response Action Plan Revision
0
I. PURPOSE
a. To effectively respond to and remediate sanitary sewer overflows to protect
public health and the environment and to comply with all regulatory
requirements
b. Sanitary sewer overflows can be caused by numerous events and/or
obstructions including substantial rain events, root intrusion, grease buildup,
etc. The best practice to eliminate or minimize SSOs is through preventive
maintenance. If an SSO does occur, it is the responsibility of the utility to
respond as quickly as possible to mitigate the SSO and reduce and remove the
hazard.
II. DEFINITIONS
a. Sanitary Sewer Overflow — Discharges of raw sewage from municipal sanitary
sewer systems or from privately owned sewer collection systems. SSOs can
release untreated sewage into basements or out of manholes and onto city
streets, playgrounds, and into streams before it can reach a treatment facility.
SSOs are often caused by blockages in sewer lines and breaks in the sewer
lines.
III. SCOPE
a. This procedure applies to all employees that may deal with SSOs. At a
minimum, these procedures will be reviewed on an annual basis or whenever
revised guidance from state or federal authorities dictates a revision is
necessary.
IV. RESPONSE TIME REQUIREMENTS
a. Upon notification of a spill or utility outage, operators or utility workers shall
respond and take action to safeguard life and the property immediately.
V. Procedure
1. Initial Service Call
----.._.__....-...__.._.._. Page 1 _._.........._._..._._.__........_..__.....__......
a) When a report of an SSO is received, the operator/utility worker shall notify
the supervisor immediately and advise he/she is responding to a SSO
response.
2. Initial Response
a) The first responder should respond immediately and confirm the SSO.
Responder should notify Regional Supervisor (or on-call Supervisor for
after-hours). Supervisor is required to report to the site.
Once SSO is confirmed, implement all necessary safety measures including
road closures, barricading area, etc.
b) Contain spill as much as possible. (See Containment Procedures)
c) The first responder should observe and document the estimated volume of
the SSO.
d) If any wastewater reaches the surface waters of the state, poses a threat to
human health or the environment, or exceeds 1,000 gallons, it must be
reported to North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (NCDENR) within 24 hours. (See Section VI. SSO Reporting
Procedures and VIII. SSO Affecting Waters of the State)
e) Take photographs of area for documentation.
f) Determine corrective actions to be taken and execute.
3. Implementation of Corrective Actions
a) Determine cause of SSO and restore the flow as soon as possible.
b) Check downstream manhole for flow and accessibility.
c) Mobilize equipment (vacuum truck,jetter, etc).
d) Try to break loose obstruction from downstream manhole.
e) Should conditions warrant and responders are unable to restore the flow,
the supervisor shall contact qualified, emergency subcontractors (list
attached).
f) If flow cannot be restored, bypass pumping may need to be installed and
further planning will be needed to correct the problem.
4. Clean-up
a) If flow cannot be restored, bypass pumping may need to be installed and
further planning will be needed to correct the problem.
b) Apply lime to all affected areas.
c) Take photographs of area for documentation.
d) Provide notification to regulatory agency and local environmental office of
completed corrective actions and clean-up.
e) If the SSO was determined to be 15,000 gallons or more to surface water or
have the potential to affect public health, a public notification must be
executed within 24 hours.
5. Follow-up Once Flow is Restored
a) Schedule wastewater line to be cleaned and visually inspected with CCTV
equipment.
b) Document inspection and determine if further action is necessary. If so,
schedule as needed.

VI. SSO REPORTING PROCEDURES
1. Upon discovery of a possible SSO, the responding operator or utility worker shall
notify the Collections ORC and/or Regional Supervisor. If the system is permitted
per 15A NCAC 08G.03, the Collections System ORC and/or Back-up ORC must
also be notified.
2. Regional Supervisor shall notify Area Manager who is then responsible for notifying
the Director of Operations and Manager of Environmental Compliance.
3. If media communications are required, the Area Manager shall inform Director of
Operations and Manager of Environmental Compliance immediately to request
assistance from Corporate.
4. Before any SSO is reported to the state, the ORC or the Backup ORC (if permitted)
or Regional Supervisor (deemed systems) must visit and evaluate the spill site
within 24 hours (required by permit). Once evaluated, a panel consisting of the
responding operators, ORC, and Regional Supervisor shall discuss the spill,
determine estimated volumes and determine causes before calling the Division
within the 24-hour time frame.
5. Reportable spills must be called into NC DWQ within 24 hours of first knowledge
of discharge. DWQ-Regional Office should be contacted during normal business
hours. The date, time, incident number and person contacted must be documented
on the Spill Report Form.
6. During weekends and holidays when DWQ cannot be reached, The Division of
Emergency Management must be called at 1-800-858-0368. Spill Report is
documented the same way as during normal business hours. Upon arriving to work
on the first business day after the spill, DWQ must be contacted and given the
reported spill incident number.
7. Spill Reporting:
a. ORC and/or responding operator completes the DEQ — 5Day Report within
48 hours of the spill.
b. ORC forwards completed form to Regional Supervisor and Area Manager
for review and comment. Corrections must be made within 24 hours.
c. Regional Supervisor provides 5-day report to Manager of Environmental
Compliance within 72 hours of spill. He/she (or designee) is responsible for
submitting to DEQ within 5 business days of the event.
d. These forms must be readily available to DEQ staff for three (3) years.

Summary of Reporting Requirements
SSO Event Reporting Requirements
All Discharges Immediately report to ORC
Discharge >1,000 gallons Report to state within 24 hours, Spill Report faxed within
5 days
Discharge to Waters of the State, Report to state within 24 hours, Spill Report faxed within
including storm drains 5 days
Discharge >1,000 gal to Surface 1. Report to state within 24 hours, Spill Report faxed
Water within 5 days
2. Press release within 24 hours of first knowledge of
SSO.
Discharge of 15,000 gal or more to 1. Report to state within 24 hours, Spill Report faxed
Surface Water within 5 days
2. Press release within 24 hours of SSO.
3. Certified public notice within 10 days and proof shall
be provided to the Division within 30 days
VII. CONTAINMENT
Immediately upon SSO discovery, employees shall assess the situation and mobilize
resources necessary to remove any blockage, contain the SSO, and stabilize the overflow
condition. Notification should be made to the ORC at this time. As soon as the extent of
the SSO has been determined, a containment berm or a dam should be established at the
lower edge of the SSO or at an area that meets the needs of containment and clean-up
operations. The containment dam should be large enough to prevent breaching in dry
weather conditions.
SPILLS INVOLVING ASPHALT OR CONCRETE
1. Set up containment at or near any threatened storm drainage system; every attempt
should be made to prevent the spill from entering the drainage structures.
2. Spread dry sand or absorbent material to a depth of 1 inch. Let stand for one hour and
sweep up. If moisture or grease is still present, repeat.
3. After removing the contaminated material, wash down the area with high water
pressure and a mild bleach solution and then pump residue back into the sewer
system.
If the spill enters a storm drainage structure, a Reportable Spill has occurred and
therefore a Spill Report should be filed with NC DWQ and treated as a SSO affecting
Waters of the State. Reported volumes would include the initial estimated spill + plus
flush water - minus the calculated amount removed prior to storm drain entrance.
FORCE MAIN OR INACCESSIBLE GRAVITY SEWER SPILL
In the event a spill occurs at a pump station with no bypass capability or at a force main or
gravity sewer where no access to a dump point exists, pump and haul or bypass
operations shall be considered. Where pump and haul operations are deemed the best
solution, wastewater will be collected from the closest tanker access point for continuous
loading operations. Consideration should be made for traffic control, noise, access, etc. A
Page ..._...........
Pump & Haul Record Form must be completed for each load. If Aqua-North Carolina does
not have the internal capabilities of containing the SSO, an outside contractor shalt be
used. See below for a list of pump providers and pump and haul tanker services.

VIII. SSOs AFFECTING WATERS OF THE STATE
Waters of the United States -As defined by the Clean Water Act,40 CFR 230.3(s)
All waters which are currently used, or were used in the past, or may be susceptible to
use in interstate or foreign commerce, including all waters which are subject to the ebb
and flow of the tide;
1. All interstate waters including interstate wetlands;
2. All other waters such as intrastate takes, rivers, streams (including intermittent
streams), mudflats, sandflats, wetlands, sloughs, prairie potholes, wet meadows, playa
lakes, or natural ponds, the use, degradation or destruction of which could affect
interstate or foreign commerce including any such waters:
a. Which are or could be used by interstate or foreign travelers for recreational or
other purposes;
b. From which fish or shellfish are or could be taken and sold in interstate or
foreign commerce;
c. Which are used or could be used for industrial purposes by industries in
interstate commerce;
3. All impoundments of waters otherwise defined as waters of the United States under
this definition;
4. Tributaries of waters identified in paragraphs (s)(1) through (4) of this section;
5. The territorial sea;
6. Wetlands adjacent to waters (other than waters that are themselves wetlands)
identified in paragraphs (s)(1) through (6) of this section; waste treatment systems,
including treatment ponds or lagoons designed to meet the requirements of CWA
(other than cooling ponds as defined in 40 CFR 423.11(m) which also meet the criteria
of this definition) are not waters of the United States.
Waters of the United States do not include prior converted cropland. Notwithstanding the
determination of an area's status as prior converted cropland by any other federal agency,
for the purposes of the Clean Water Act, the final authority regarding Clean Water Act
jurisdiction remains with EPA.
PROCEDURES:
---- .... Page 5 .. -------
1. Building of containment devices should ONLY be performed if the responding crew
has the right equipment and expertise to safely build without impacting dry weather
flow conditions. If the responding crew does not have the capability/expertise, please
contact an environmental contractor.
2. Take dissolved oxygen readings of the receiving stream to determine the proper
placement of containment/diversion devices within the intervals on the Field
Reporting Form. The following items shall be considered when determining dam
location:
a. Proximity to manhole
b. Accessible to jet/vacuum truck
c. Lowest measured conductivity reading
3. Build a containment device using dirt that is capable of handling creek and hydrant
flow without breaching during dry weather conditions. Position two pumps at the dam
capable of handling creek and hydrant flow with one pump in use and the second as
backup. Pump SSO release from the dam into the manhole.
4. Put up warning tape, "Danger Do Not Enter" from the SSO site to the pump site on
both sides of the creek in populated areas. In unpopulated areas restrict access
where there is any chance of human contact with the SSO.
5. Flush the stream with de-chlorinated hydrant water to remove wastewater from creek.
Continue to pump and flush the stream until the conductivity readings are equivalent
to the higher of either upstream or hydrant water readings. Make sure that all
readings taken during cleanup are recorded on the Field Reporting Form and taken
within the intervals listed on the form.
6. If there is rip-rap in the creek, wash down with high water pressure until there is no
noticeable waste residue remaining on or within the rip-rap structure.
7. If the creek flows into a body of water used for recreation and/or drinking water
supply, notify the affected officials as soon as possible.
8. Continue periodic monitoring of Dissolved Oxygen readings. All additional readings
should be notated on the Field Readings Form. Take an upstream and downstream
fecal coliform every 24 hours as needed until the waterway is restored to pre-event
condition.
SSO NOT REACHING WATERS OF THE STATE
1. In open areas spread powdered lime heavily over the spill site, till into the ground and
then repeat the procedure again but not within 24 hours of predicted rain fall event.
2. Seed the disturbed area and place straw over the tilled area. Soil may need to be
removed and replaced with clean fill material for a large spill where the ground has
become saturated.

Revision
Contingency Plan 0
I. PURPOSE
a. To effectively respond to emergencies within the sanitary sewer collection
system. Purpose is to protect public health and the environment and to comply
with all regulatory requirements
II. SCOPE
a. This procedure applies to all employees that may respond to emergencies at
pump stations within a collection system. At a minimum, these procedures will
be reviewed on an annual basis or whenever revised guidance from state or
federal authorities dictates a revision is necessary.
III. RESPONSE TIME REQUIREMENTS
a. Upon notification of a spill or utility outage, operators or utility workers shall
respond and take action to safeguard life and the property immediately.
IV. PLAN
Aqua North Carolina, Inc. (ANC) owns and operates 8 wastewater pump
stations listed in Table 1. The pump stations owned and operated by ANC are
routinely checked by trained personnel.
ANC has a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system for the 8
pump stations. The SCADA remotely monitors pump station operations, and
sends alarms to the ANC 24-hour dispatch in the event of a malfunction or
emergency. The SCADA system records all activities at a pump station and
provides a hard-copy printout for backup documentation. The SCADA provides
continuous status of pump station operations for the following items:
• Status of pumps (including operational alarms)
• Pump start / stop cycles
• Power status (including power failure alarms)

Pump rebuilding, motor rewinds, and HVAC repairs for the pump stations are
contracted to Charles Underwood, Inc.. Repairs to motor control centers, flow
meters, remote monitoring equipment, and valves are typically repaired by
ANC's maintenance crews or an ANC Contractor.
AR repairs are recorded and tracked with the CMMS system.
1. Emergency Support
Addressing some problems may require resources beyond ANC forces. This is
particularly true of main line breaks or major pump station failures where there
is a risk of a significant sewer overflow. In these situations, ANC may enlist the
aid of contractor that specializes in these services. ANC maintains a general
services agreement with several companies for situations that require the
prompt reconstruction of sewer lines.
These companies are capable of mobilizing construction equipment and
personnel quickly to handle emergency assignments. ANC contract for
emergency sewer repairs requires the contractor to respond to the site within 2
hours of notification to mobilize. This response time and the level of response
will vary due to several factors, some are identified below:
• Location of the sewer repair in relation to the contractor's equipment
yard
• Scope of the repair, size of sewer, depth of sewer and volume of flow
• The size, type and availability of equipment and number of workers
• The time of day, day of the week and the proximity to a holiday
• Weather conditions, clear, rain, snow, extreme cold or heat
Spill Contractor:
In the event of a spill that cannot be controlled by ANC, We Pump It, Inc. will
provide professional services for the removal and disposal of contaminated
material.
Emergency Contractor:
In the event that a pump station failure occurs that is exceeds ANC available
on-staff response; an emergency contractor will be requested to assist.
Contractors may be requested for emergency power generation, by-pass
pumping situations, or large excavations.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
A. PROBLEM: Wastewater Pump Station Alarms General Response Actions
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES:
• Send an individual to the station indicating an alarm as soon as possible for a
Priority Alarm. If failure is apparent, call for additional assistance and keep an
individual at the station until further instructions are received.
• Always check with the power company when an alarm goes on to see if there is
a power outage in the area, although a power failure that has not been
reported to the power company can occur at a pump station. The pole number
nearest the station should be reported.
• Personnel called in to investigate pump station alarms shall respond to the
station even if the alarm has cleared prior to their arrival. All alarm conditions
are to be checked and logged. Use the following guidelines and follow
confined space entry procedures if applicable:
Wetwell/Drywell Type Stations
1. Observe all safety precautions per training. If a Confined Space Entry (CSE)
is required, notify the Regional Supervisor Immediately. A contractor will be
requested to respond.
2. Note any unusual odors - i.e. burning electrical equipment or paint.
3. Listen and note any unusual noises.
4. Check for heat around pump motors and pump bearing housings. Note any
which seem unusually hot.
5. Observe every piece of equipment in the station. Note anything that looks
out of place.
6. Record all gauge readings including wet welt level, hour meters, on-off
levels, psi gauges on pump, rpm (on VFD's) and anything else that you feel
is significant.
7. Using available information and the trouble shooting guide, systematically
run through the system. Use a process of elimination to identify the cause
of the failure. Check the level controls, check pump operation using manual
position, check pump output by pressing on check valve counterweight as
defined in the trouble-shooting guide. Once the cause of the problem is
isolated, engage mechanical or electrical disciplines for repairs.
8. Emergency personnel should be absolutely certain that the cause of the
pump station alarm or failure has been properly identified and corrected
prior to leaving the station.
9. Reset any/all alarm feature indicator lights.
Submersible Type Stations
1. Take all safety precautions per training.
2. Listen for any unusual noises and note if pump(s) are running.
3. Observe every piece of equipment in the station (pay specific attention to
the level control system). Note anything that looks out of place.
4. Record all gauge readings from the control panel including: wet well level,
hour meters, flow charts, on-off levels, psi gauges on pump, rpm (on VHD's)
and anything else that you feet is significant.
5. Using available information and the trouble-shooting guide, systematically
run through the system. Use a process of elimination to isolate the cause of
the failure. Check level controls, check pump operation using manual
position, check pump output by observing the check valve counterweight as
defined in the trouble shooting guide. Once the cause of the problem is
isolated, engage mechanical or electrical disciplines for repairs
6. Emergency personnel should be absolutely certain that the cause of the
pump station alarm or failure has been properly identified and corrected
prior to leaving the station.
7. Reset any/all alarm feature indicator lights.
• Check the O&M manual to trouble shoot the level sensor system and pump
controls
• Pumps may be checked easily for operation by checking the arm of the check-
valve in the discharge tine of an operating pump. If it feels "spongy" (or soft)
when downward pressure is applied with the palm of the hand, the pump is
pumping. If a breaker is off and the pump motor is hot to the touch, DO NOT
attempt to reset and start. If a pump motor is simply warm, one attempt to
restart can be made. Turning the selector switch to manual will normally start a
pump, and the check valve arm should move upwards. If the pump has lost
prime or is lugged, the check valve will not open.
B. PROBLEM: Pumping Station Failure Caused by Secondary Power Failure During
Power Outage
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES:
• Dispatch pump station crew to the pumping station immediately. The crew
needs to bring the auxiliary generator for that specific station as a backup,
assuming that repair to the dedicated generator cannot be made immediately.
• Upon entry, identify the storage capacity in the well. This will give some
indication of the time available for response. If flooded, skip to pump-out steps
under "Pumping Station Failure inside valve pit, pump or valve failure"
procedure.
• Dispatcher shall request the assistance of the power company in restoring
power to the station if necessary. Determine the estimated time of arrival of
the power company crew and then notify the pumping station operators.
• As they approach the pumping station, the pumping station crew should check
the overhead power lines for fuses that might have blown or down power lines.
If the crew notices a blown fuse or down power line, identify the location and
pole number(s), and notify the dispatcher to relay this information to the power
company.
• Lock out and tag out (LOTO) the main line, disconnect (if applicable).
• Check all components of the dedicated generator to determine failure cause.
Use the manufacturer-prepared trouble-shooting guide to aid in diagnosis. If it
cannot be repaired immediately, connect the portable generator to the
auxiliary power connection located outside the building. Examine plug type and
ensure consistency. Use adapters as necessary.
• Go through the specific procedures for starting the generator to supply power
to the station.
• Obtain the services of a qualified generator repair facility to address the
dedicated generator failure.
• Once fully repaired, disconnect the portable generator and reconnect the
dedicated unit. Operate the dedicated unit through several pump cycles.
Check unit for regular exercise.
C. PROBLEM: Pumping Station Failure Inside Valve Pit, pump or valve failure
(submersible type application)
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES:
• Dispatch pumping station crew to the pumping station immediately.
• Prior to viewing the wetwell, measure the atmospheric conditions for sufficient
oxygen and the presence of explosive or toxic gases.
• Upon arrival the crew should identity the storage capacity in the wetwell. This
will give some indication of the time available for response. If flooded, skip to
pump-out steps.
• Inspect the main controls looking for failure indications. Check processor to
determine failure if applicable. If pump failure is determined, skip to wetwell
inspection steps.
• Inspect the valvepit. Observe all valves and force mains. If flooded, arrange to
pump out the valve pit or pump-and-haul as appropriate. If failure within the
valvepit is detected, skip to pump-out steps.
• Constantly monitor the atmospheric conditions while working in or above the
wetwell. Inspect the wetwell. Check the wetwell floats or level control system,
bar rack and pump volute area for clogging or other problems.
Pump-Out Steps
• If pump failure, determine if pump out and/or pump-and-haul is necessary. If
unnecessary, skip to repair procedures.
• Pump the flow with portable pumps if available. Call additional crew to bring
appropriate portable pump(s) including all required lengths of suction and
discharge hose, to the pumping station if necessary. Upon arrival of the
portable pump, connect the appropriate lengths of suction hose that will
suspend all the way into the wetwell, and then connect enough discharge hose
to pump into appropriate manhole or connection (if so equipped). Go through
the procedures for starting the portable pump, and begin pumping.
• If the station does not contain a force main connection point, arrange for
pump-and-haul as required.
Repair Steps
• Lock out and tag out (LOTO) the main line, disconnect (if applicable).
• Complete repairs to pipe, pump or valve as per policy. ANC Personnel are not
allowed to perform a CSE. If a CSE is required, notify the Regional Supervisor
Immediately. A contractor will be required to complete remaining work. If
permanent materials are not readily available, install temporary repairs until the
permanent repairs can be completed.
• Restore facilities to normal and inspect other components of the force main
and pumping system for signs of similar failure.
• Shut down portable pumping operation. Do not disconnect hoses until repair is
checked for leaks. Operate pumps to check repair under pressure and normal
operating conditions.
• If no leaks are observed, return pumps to normal conditions by removing
LOTO. Monitor pumps to check lead/lag operations.
• Make out a report indicating the time of the call, description of the problem,
the repair work done, personnel present and equipment used.
