1. The director shall evaluate whether each SIU needs an accidental spill and slug control plan or other action to control slug discharges. The director may require any user develop, submit for approval, and implement such a plan or take other such action that may be necessary to control slug discharges. Alternatively, the director may develop such a plan for any such user. An accidental discharge/slug discharge control plan shall address, at a minimum, the following:
a. Description of discharge practices, including non-routine batch discharges;
b. Description of stored chemicals;
c. Procedures for immediately notifying the director of any accidental or slug discharge, as required by section 15.40.350; and
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 and equipment, measures for containing toxic organic pollutants, including solvents, and/or measures and equipment for emergency response.
2. Each user required to have an accidental spill and slug discharge control plan shall provide protection from spills or accidental discharges of prohibited materials or other substances regulated by this chapter. Facilities to prevent accidental discharge of prohibited materials shall be provided and maintained at the user’s own cost and expense. Detailed plans showing facilities and operating procedures to provide this protection shall be submitted to the director for review, and shall be approved by the director before construction of the facility.
3. Each user required to have an accidental spill and slug discharge control plan shall permanently post a notice on a bulletin board or other prominent place within the user’s place of business advising employees whom to call in the event of spill, slug discharge or an accidental discharge. Users shall ensure that all employees who may cause or suffer such spills or slug discharges to occur are advised of the emergency notification procedures.
