Michael P. Tremper, CAMO Pollution Control,
DATE:

RE:
Sewer Backup on Deer Run Road
On October~l, 1995 at approximately 2:45 p.m., CAMO
Pollution Control, Inc. received a call from the Town Highway
Department about a manhole that was overflowing on Deer Run Road.
CAMO Pollution Control, Inc. immediately responded to this
complaint. At that time, it was found that the torrential
rainstorms and area flooding combined with an obstruction in the
sewer main was causing the manhole to overflow.
At 3:30 p.m., CAMO Pollution Control, Inc. personnel started
to pump the manhole to help relieve the backup so the
obstructions could be cleared. Once the manhole was pumped down,
the Town Highway Department made several attempts to clear the
main with the Highway flushing truck. It became obvious that the
line could not be completely cleared with the flushing truck.
This was critical because the pipe needed to be completely clear
to handle the excessive flows caused by the heavy rains.
To remove the obstruction in the sewer line, CAMO Pollution
Control, Inc. utilized our flushing truck with a specialized root
cutter to clean the roots from the sewer line. At approximately
10:30 p.m., the roots were completely removed from the sewer line
and the line was running freely.

At 3:30 p.m., CAMO Pollution Control, Inc. received a call
from the Fire Department that sewage was running into the home on
11 Deer Run. By this time, CAMO Pollution Control, Inc. was
working on the problem. CAMO Pollution Control, Inc. responded
immediately and put a towel in his downstairs bathroom which
stopped sewage from entering his house. At approximately 10:15
p.m., the resident from 15 Deer Run arrived home and found sewage
had flowed into his house while no one was home. Both residences
were informed that they needed to make a report of the damages
and send it to the Town. Unfortunately CAMO Pollution Control,
Inc. was not contacted by the homeowners until long after the
problem had existed. By the time the~ighway Department
contacted CAMO Pollution Control, Inc. sewage must have been
running into the homes for sometime. It should be noted that
although the main was not completely cleared until 10:30 p.m.,
the sewage stopped backing up into th~ homes when CAMO Pollution
Control, Inc. started pumping the manhole on Deer Run Road.
The problems which created the sewer backup on October 21,
1995 were the combination of a partial obstruction in the sewer
main combined with an excessive flow caused by area flooding and
the torrential rainstorms. This particular sewer line had been
flushed completely on March 10, 1995 by CAMO Pollution Control,
Inc. and the Town flushing truck. The manholes in the vicinity
had been visually inspected by CAMO Pollution Control, Inc. on
September 20J 1995.
If you hav& any questions or would like to discuss this
matter further, please contact me at (914) 463-7310.
