Broad Street\nCounty/City: Glen Allen\nZip: 23060\nContact at Scene: Jesse Royall\nTelephone No.: [phone removed]\nDate of Incident - 7-20-2026\nTime of Incident: 06:55 am\nLength of Time Discharge Continued: 2 hours +/-\nVolume of Discharge (gal): 50 +/- gal\nDescription of Nature and Location of Discharge:  The sewage pump station that receives sewage from the DRURY PLAZA HOTEL overflowed. The overflow was caused by the pumps becoming clogged. The staff called Sydnor to notify us of the problem. There is an audible and visual high water and loss of power alarm located in a room \nbehind the front desk. \n\nSYDNOR responded and removed the first pump to unclog it and place it back in service to stop the overflow, then the second pump was pulled and unclogged.\n\nOverflow was stopped 30 to 45 minutes after arrival.\n\nThe pumpstation was operating normally when our crew left this morning.\n\nWe did identify a stream running across the parking lot and into a Storm Drain. It appears that this storm drain goes to a retention pond on the southeast corner of the overall development. We assume this is all part of the Henrico County storm drain system which eventually discharges to the James River.  Due to the relatively small size of the overflow we do not know if any flow made it to the James River.\nAffected Body of Water (if applicable):  Jame River discharge unlikely by possible.",
