the results are available.

G. We are keeping records for the maintenance and mowing of easements.
H. We are noting the lines that are cleaned each year and are noting the lines to be cleaned in
the coming year to comply with our permit requirements.
I. We do maintain a work order record of repairs.
J. The spill response plan was distributed by having it available in our sewer maintenance
vehicle for ready reference.
K. We do record SSO's and will maintain these records going forward.
L. Citizen complaints are captured in our work order records.
M. We were not aware of this threshold for issuing a performance report and will work to prepare
and issue a report as directed.
IV. Collection System Inspection:
A. Noted.
B. Pump Stations
L Batchelor Road PS (#4) - We are cleaning the station and will continue to monitor
and keep the station in good operational condition. The hour meter discrepancy is
related to a bad seal that required repair. The pump has been restored to service and
we will continue to track the hours of each pump to see if run times of the two pumps
roughly match.
ii. Pine Needles PS (#2) - We are cleaning the station and will continue to monitor and
keep the station in good operational condition. We will make the repair to the hour
meter.
iii. Brickyard PS (#3) — The audible alarm functions. It may have been drowned out by
the generator that was running at the time of inspection. We have double checked its
operation. The fence is scheduled for repair.
iv. Airport PS (#6) — Noted.
We will continue to improve the stations on an ongoing basis and are working to obtain funding to
update the SCADA systems. Please let us know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Tracy H. Sullivan, interim Town Administrator
Town of Sharpsburg, NC
