(A) In the case of any discharge, including, but not limited to, accidental discharges; discharges of a not routine, episodic nature; a non-customary batch discharge; a slug discharge; or slug load that might cause potential problems for the POTW, the industrial user shall immediately telephone and notify the Public Works Superintendent of the incident. This notification shall include the location of the discharge, type of waste, concentration, and volume, if known, and corrective actions taken by the industrial user.
(B) Within five days following such discharge, the industrial user shall, unless waived by the Public Works Superintendent, submit a detailed written report describing the cause(s) of the discharge and the measures to be taken by the industrial user to prevent similar future occurrences. Such notification shall not relieve the industrial user of any expense, loss, damage, or other liability which might be incurred as a result of damage to the POTW, natural resources, or any other damage to person or property; nor shall such notification relieve the industrial user of any fines, penalties, or other liability which may be imposed pursuant to this subchapter.
(C) A notice shall be permanently posted on the industrial user’s bulletin board or other prominent place advising employees who to call in the event of a discharge described in division (A) above. Employers shall ensure that all employees, who could cause such a discharge to occur, are advised of the emergency notification procedure.
(D) Significant industrial users are required to notify the Public Works Superintendent immediately of any changes at its facility affecting the potential for a slug discharge.
