the health of any citizens or employees that come into contact with an S.S.O.
Unchecked S.S.O.'s can result in significant penalties from State and Federal
environmental regulatory agencies as well. The procedures below are
designed to protect our environment, citizens, and employees from an S.S.O.
event. These procedures apply to all town personnel.
2. Upon discovery or report of an S.S.O., notify the public works
department immediately. If it is after regular working hours,notify the
public works employee on call and the Public Works Director
immediately.If for some reason the public works employee on call cannot
be reached,notify the next public works employee on the call back list.I
cannot impress on you enough that this needs to be done without delay.
The public works employee contacted will respond without delay.
3. Upon arrival,the public works employee will make an immediate
assessment to determine if a S.S.O. event has taken place. If an event has
taken place, or is in progress,the employee will attempt to eliminate the
source of the S.S.O. and contain any and all spillage that has taken place. The
employee will also insure that the Public Works Director and any other
resources or manpower as needed to eliminate the blockage and contain the
S.S.O. have been contacted.

assistance needed.
5. Please review and familiarize yourself with the attached Sanitary Sewer
Overflow(S.S.O.)Procedures Manual and contact list. In the event we have a
large S.S.O. we will need assistance from other departments in town.

PURPOSE:
The purpose of this document is to protect the citizens of Kure Beach,North Carolina and
the environment by establishing written procedures for responding to Sanitary Sewer
Overflows (S.S.O.). This procedure applies to all Public Works employees that in the
course of their work may deal with S.S.O.'s. These procedures will be reviewed at least

3. In the event the employee on site requires assistance from other departments
within the town or assistance from other towns,the Public Works Director is
to be contacted and informed of the situation and the type of assistance
needed.
4. The ORC will be the primary interface between the Town of Kure Beach and
the State of North Carolina Department of Water Quality and the New
Hanover County Health Department on all S.S.O. matters.
5. The ORC will report overflows from any sewer line or pump station, or the
bypass of any wastewater treatment system or any component thereof to the
North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources,the
Division of Water Quality. This requirement applies in the following cases:
Any spill of 1,000 gallons or more; and
Any spill,regardless of the volume,if any waste reaches the surface
waters of the State.
The ORC is required to provide an oral report regarding reportable spills
to the Wilmington Regional Office as soon as possible, but in no later than
24 hours following the spill event.
Additionally, if a spill occurs after normal business hours,the event must
be reported during the next working day. Should a spill occur after hours
that reaches the surface waters and/or it may be considered as either an
environmental or health hazard,the report must be made immediately to
the Division of Emergency Management at 1-800-858-0368. Their office
can contact appropriate Division of Water Quality staff.

A written report(see attached form)must be submitted to the Wilmington

CONTAINMENT PROCURES
1. As soon as the employee arrives on site of the S.S.O. their first priority will be
to contain the spill as to not allow it to reach surface waters. If there is no
danger of the S.S.O. reaching surface waters, contain the S.S.O. to as small of
an area as possible.
2. The second priority shall be to tape off the S.S.O. area to prevent any
unauthorized person from entering the contaminated area. This includes the
banks of surface waters that the S.S.O. has reached.
3. Containment shall be accomplished in any number of ways, including, but not
limited to,the construction of ditches,ponds, or dams. The sewage contained
in these containment areas shall be pumped back into the sewer system or
transported to the WWTP by pumper trucks.
4. Trash pumps capable of handling the flow of the sewer line are to be placed at
the overflowing manhole and the sewage pumped into the next downstream
manhole until the blockage is corrected. One employee shall remain onsite
until the pumps are no longer needed.
BLOCKAGE CORRECTION PROCURES
1. As soon as the S.S.O. has been contained and a bypass pumping system has
been set up, attempt to eliminate the blockage by first checking for problems
in the invert of the overflowing manhole.
2. Utilizing the town's equipment and outside contractors (if needed) eliminate
the blockage (see attached contact list for outside contractors). Containment
and bypass pumping are to remain operational until the blockage is corrected.
CLEANUP PROCURES
ALL S.S.O.
1. Remove all paper,plastic, or any other non-decomposing material from site.
Material should be bagged in a container clearly marked biohazard and
transported to the WWTP.

ON ASPHALT OR CONCRETE
1. Set up containment at or near the storm drainage system; do not let the spill
enter the storm drainage system.
2. Put up warning tape around the S.S.O. area.
3. Spread lime on spillage and sand(or equivalent material)to a depth of 1 inch.
Let this stand for 1 hour and sweep up. If moisture or grease is still present,
repeat procedure.
4. After removing the containment material, wash down the area with high-
pressure water and Clorox. Pump this back into the sewer system. Transport
wet sand to drying beds at the Waste Water Treatment Plant.
5. If this spill goes into the storm drainage system, refer to ditch procedure.
IN DITCHES OR STREAMS
1. If possible a dam needs to be constructed near a manhole or at a location that
is accessible to the jet/vacuum truck. Build the dam using dirt that is capable
of handling creek and hydrant water without dam failure. Station two pumps
at the dam that are capable of handling ditch flow. Use one pump for backup.
Have a backhoe at site with extra material at all times so dam can be rebuilt if
a breach occurs. There will be two workers at the pump site at all times during
pumping operations. Pump effluent from the dam in to the manhole.
2. Put up extra warning tape from the S.S.O. site to the pump site on both sides
of the ditch in populated areas. In unpopulated areas restrict access where
there is any chance of humans coming in contact with the S.S.O.
3. Flush the ditch with water from a sufficient number of hydrants to remove
waste product from the ditch. Have Wastewater Treatment Operator pull
samples. Continue to pump and flush ditch until all fecal coliform tests come
back 500 colonies/ml or less. Pull samples every 24 hours until this reading is
obtained. Pull samples 100 feet above the S.S.O. site, at the site, and at 400
feet intervals until reaching the pump site.
4. If Rip Rap is in ditch, wash down with high water pressure until there is no
waste residue remaining on or within the Rip Rap structure.
5. If sludge is in the ditch, broom ditch bottom and sides until there is no water
residue remaining.

6. If ditch flows into a body of water used for recreation, and or drinking,notify
the affected county and local officials as soon as the problem is discovered.
OUTFALL
1. Put up warning tape, "Danger Do Not Enter," around the S.S.O. site.
2. In open area, lime (powder)heavily and till. Repeat procedure. Seed and then
put down straw.
3. In an area where there is undergrowth or small trees, wash area with large
amounts of water. Push towards the containment area and pump site. Do this
until no waste remains. Wait for 12 to 24 hours,then lime the area heavily. Do
not lime when the weather forecast is predicting rain.
IN A CITIZEN'S YARD
1. Till the area whenever possible. Apply lime, seed, and straw.
2. If not able to till, apply lime and two inches of topsoil and mix thoroughly.
Lime again lightly,then seed and cover with straw.

SPARE PARTS
All pump stations have duplex set-ups and the town maintains an additional back-up
pump for all pump stations. We also have essential spare electrical components on hand
for each station. The town maintains a supply of pipe and emergency fittings for each size
of sewer main in our system.

Town of Kure Beach Collection System Contingency Plan
Pump failure process:
• Lift stations are inspected weekly and hour meters are checked to determine that pumps are
functioning properly.
• Any problems with a pump are reported to the supervisor and personnel are sent out to assess
the situation and replace the pump if necessary. Spare pumps are stored in our storage building
on the hill.
• If one pump goes out,the second pump will run continually rather than alternating.
• If both pumps fail,the high-water alarm would be triggered to notify us of a problem. During
work hours,the supervisor would send personnel out to assess the problem and repair or
replace the pump as necessary.After hours,the system would call the on-call service who would
notify the on-call technician.The technician would assess the situation, notify the supervisor if
necessary,and additional personnel would be called in if needed.
