Dear Mr. Vessie:
On February 21, 2017 and on March 12, 2018, the City of Raleigh self-reported Sanitary Sewer
Overflows caused by grease at the Orchard Point Apartment Complex. The City of Raleigh Public
Utilities' GIS mapping showed that manhole SMH122451 and downstream main at the Orchard Point
Apartment Complex were the City of Raleigh's infrastructure. These SSOs were entered into the
Division's database as incidents 201700278 and 201800400, respectively, and were included in Notice
of Violations NOV-2017-DV-0111 and NOV-2018-DV-0119.
After deed research by the City of Raleigh Public Utilities, it was determined that both the manhole and
associated downstream section of sewerline main are private, and therefore the responsibility of the
apartment complex property owner. As a result of this determination, the City of Raleigh sent a letter
to the Raleigh Regional Office of the Division of Water Resources dated May 30, 2018 requesting the
Notice of Violations with Intent to Enforce (NOV-NOIs) that included the two incidents at Orchard Point
Complex be rescinded (NOV-2017-DV-0111 and NOV-2018-DV-0119).
Accordingly, by copy of this letter, the incidents at the Orchard Point Apartment complex (201700278
and 201800400) have been deleted from those NOV-NOIs in the Division's database.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to
contact Jason Robinson with the Water Quality Section in the Raleigh Regional Office at 919-791-4200
or via email at [e-mail].
