Shelly--
The National Response Center was established primarily to address spills of oil and chemicals. While they may receive some reports of sewage spills, it is unlikely that they have comprehensive reports.
Most municipal sewage systems operate under permits from state authorities and report to them in the event of a spill. The permits and/or requirements may vary from state to state. As an example, here is a link to information on permits for North Carolina: https://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/water-resources-permits/wastewater-branch/collectionsystems/sewer-system-overflow-documents

Hi Tricia,
Would this be the appropriate list of spills and events? These are issued daily. I am interested in current updates: http://www.nrc.uscg.mil/FOIAFiles/ApplicationToReceiveNRCReportsForm.pdf
Please advise. Thank you.

I am a freelance journalist and I work on a publication for the water/wastewater industry. I was interested in regular updates that are reported to the EPA of spills, etc. I know those events are required to be published. I appreciate you getting back with me.
Best regards,
Shelley

Hi Tricia,
Do you have a person I may contact so I can be placed on a list of updates of sewer spills and environmental mishaps reported to the EPA?
Thank you. I appreciate your feedback.

Hi Robert,
I was wondering if you could guide me to the contact at the EPA who handles water quality complaints as well as environmental incidents such as sewer spills. Is there a centralized list of current events that are reported at the EPA?
Thank you so very much. I look forward to your feedback.
Best regards,
Shelley
