(A) All permitted non-residential users are required to develop, implement and maintain best management practices in the form of a Spill Prevention Containment and Countermeasures/Slug Control Plan hereafter referred to as Spill Plan. The village may require other non-residential users to develop a Spill Plan, should that user have:
(1) Chemicals (raw materials, chemical intermediates, wastes to be recycled, final products, or utility chemicals) that total or exceed 250 gallons at or on its site;
(2) Prohibited discharge materials as defined in § 13-6-2 at or on its site;
(3) Hazardous waste as defined in § 13-10-9 at or on its site; or
(4) Been defined by the Pretreatment Coordinator to have a need to control slug discharges.
(5) All non-residential users that meet the above criteria are required to develop and implement a Spill Plan regardless whether that user is regulated by a wastewater discharge permit or not.
(B) The Spill Plan which is required to be submitted to the village if the user's discharge is regulated shall address, at a minimum, the following:
(1) Specifics of Spill Plan:
(a) Description of discharge practices, including non-routine batch discharges;
(b) Description of stored chemicals, including quantity of chemicals and type and number of storage containers;
(c) Site diagram showing location of all tanks holding greater than or equal to 250 gallons or areas containing eight drums or more of raw materials, prohibited wastes, wastes to be recycled, hazardous wastes or final product. Identification and location of all liquid materials is mandatory;
(d) Procedures to prevent adverse impact from any accidental or slug discharge. Such procedures include, but are not limited to, inspection and maintenance of storage areas, handling and transfer of materials, loading and unloading operations, control of plant site runoff, worker training, building of containment structures or equipment, measures for containing toxic organic pollutants, including solvents, and/or measures and equipment for emergency response. Building containment structures or production equipment changes are considered procedures to prevent adverse spills. If containment structures are connected to the sanitary sewer, a valve normally left in a closed position is required;
(e) Location of notice/signs posted in conspicuous places advising employees in English and the language of common use whom to call in the event of a spill, accidental discharge of prohibited materials, slug discharge or a bypass of any part of a pretreatment system; and
(f) Emergency telephone number (24-hour) off-site and backup telephone number. If the Spill Plan has been submitted, any change in the telephone numbers should be submitted within five working days when revised.
(2) Notification procedure. The Spill Prevention Containment and Countermeasures/Slug Control Plan shall contain procedures for immediately notifying the Pretreatment Coordinator of any accidental or slug discharge, as required by § 13-10-7;
(3) Documentation. The Spill Prevention Containment and Countermeasures/Slug Control Plan shall contain a sample of the documentation maintained at the site that:
(a) Ensures that all employees who are in a position to cause, discover, or observe such discharge are advised of the emergency notification procedures; and
(b) Such logs to verify inspection and maintenance procedures to prevent adverse impacts and confirm that said procedures are being performed on a regular basis. At minimum, logs are required to verify valves in containment structures, if present, are closed.
(C) Review of such plans and operating procedures by the village shall not relieve the user from the responsibility to modify the user's facility or Spill Plan as necessary to meet all requirements of this chapter. Review by the village does not constitute an approval of a spill plan and the village and its designee(s) are not to be construed as responsible for the actions of the user and any impacts the user may cause as a result of a spill or slug load.
(D) At least once every two years the Pretreatment Coordinator shall evaluate whether each significant industrial user needs a revision to its Spill Plan. The Pretreatment Coordinator may require any user to submit at a frequency less than two years such Spill Plan or require modification of an existing Spill Plan based on changes that have occurred at the site or in response to an incident that had the potential to impact the POTW. In alternate years, the Pretreatment Coordinator shall evaluate whether each non-significant regulated user is required to file a revision to its Spill Plan based on changes that have occurred at the site or in response to an incident that had the potential to impact the POTW.
