This suchapter sets forth minimum requirements for industrial users to prepare for, respond to, and report, accidental discharges to the POTW. Additional or more restrictive requirements may be required for particular users under a wastewater discharge permit, a slug control plan, or by other applicable laws and regulations.
(A) Each user shall provide and continuously maintain protection from accidental discharge of materials or other substances regulated by this chapter as provided by this subchapter.
(B) Detailed plans showing facilities and operating procedures to provide the protections required by this subchapter shall be submitted to the WWTP Superintendent for review. All existing users shall submit the required plans and information with their permit applications or upon request of the WWTP Superintendent. For new sources, facilities and operating procedures to provide the protections required by this subchapter shall be approved by the WWTP Superintendent prior to commencing discharge. No user who commences discharging to the POTW after the effective date of this chapter shall be permitted to introduce pollutants into the system until accidental discharge facilities and procedures as provided by this section are in place and have been approved by the WWTP Superintendent.
(C) Facilities to prevent accidental discharge of regulated materials or substances shall be provided and maintained at the user's cost and expense. Review and approval by the WWTP Superintendent of plans and operating procedures shall not relieve the industrial user from the responsibility to modify the user's facility as necessary to meet the requirements of this chapter. Compliance with the requirements of this subchapter shall not relieve a user of any expense, loss, damage, or other liability that may be incurred as a result of damage to the POTW, or for any other damage to persons or property, or for any other liability that may be imposed under this chapter or under other applicable laws and regulations.
(D) No change shall be made in any plan or procedure approved by the WWTP Superintendent as provided by this section without the prior review and approval of the WWTP Superintendent.
(E) All users shall notify the WWTP Superintendent in writing within five days of any change in the information required to be provided to the POTW as set forth below in this Section (including, without limitation, information regarding the person in charge of discharge operations, the description of chemicals stored, used or manufactured by the user, the description of user discharges, and the description of user premises).
