(A) In the case of any discharge, including, but not limited to, accidental discharges, discharges of a nonroutine, episodic nature, a nonroutine batch discharge, or a slug load that may have potential to cause an upset or otherwise interfere with operations of the municipal wastewater treatment plant, the user shall immediately notify the 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 user.
(B) Within five days following the discharge, the user shall, unless waived by the Superintendent, submit a detailed written report describing the causes of the discharge and the measures to be taken by the user to prevent similar future occurrences. The notification shall not relieve the user of any expense, loss, damage, or other liability which may be incurred as a result of damage to the municipal wastewater treatment plant, natural resources, or any other damage to person or property, nor shall the notification relieve the user of any fines, penalties, or other liability which may be imposed pursuant to this chapter.
(C) A notice shall be continuously posted on the user’s bulletin board, procedure manuals, and any other appropriate places advising employees whom to call in the event of a discharge described in division (A) above. Employers shall ensure that all employees who may have cause to be aware of the occurrence of problematic discharges are advised of the emergency notification procedure.
