(A) In the case of any discharge, including, but not limited to, accidental discharges, discharges of a nonroutine, episodic nature, a noncustomary batch discharge, or a slug load, that may cause potential problems for the POTW, the user shall immediately telephone and notify the Superintendent of the incident. In cases where the pretreatment standard requires compliance with a best management practice or pollution prevention alternative, the user must submit documentation required by the Superintendent or the pretreatment standard necessary to determine the compliance status of the user. This notification shall include the location of the discharge, type of waste, concentration and volume, if known, and corrective actions taken by the user.
(B) A notice shall be permanently posted on the user’s bulletin board or other prominent place advising employees whom to call in the event of a discharge described in division (A). Employers shall ensure that all employees, who may cause such a discharge to occur, are advised of the emergency notification procedure.
(C) Significant industrial users are required to notify the Superintendent immediately of any changes at its facility affecting the potential for a slug discharge.
(D) If sampling performed by a user indicates a violation, the user must notify the Superintendent within 24 hours of becoming aware of the violation. The user shall also repeat the sampling and analysis and submit the results of the repeat analysis to the Superintendent within 30 days after becoming aware of the violation. Resampling by the industrial user is not required if the village performs sampling at the user’s facility at least once a month, or if the village performs sampling at the user between the time when the initial sampling was conducted and the time when the user or the village receives the results of this sampling, or if the village has performed the sampling and analysis in lieu of the industrial user.
