Title	Offsite Notification to South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (Dhec) of Sewage Spill
Event Description	The licensee reported that an onsite underground line to the sanitary sewage pond broke resulting in back drainage from the pond into the environment of an estimated 60,000 to 70,000 gallons of sewage. The pond sewage has gone into the yard drains and possibly some of the nearby creeks. The licensee provided the following information via facsimile: Approximately 0800 received first notification of discharge from Sanitary Aeration Pond, outfall # 005. At 0825 an initial notification was made to DHEC. Temporary covers were installed over the yard drains. These covers seem to be holding the remnants of the fluid. At 0900 the control room was notified the discharge had made it to the yard drains and thus to the environment. At 1240 the estimate of discharge was revised to 60,000 to 70,000 gallons, which made this potentially newsworthy. Suspected cause is a broken underground pipe. No impact on plant operation. The discharge was not radioactive. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
