In the case of any discharge of a non-routine or episodic nature, including, but not limited to, accidental discharges, spills, a non-customary batch discharge, or a slug load, users (whether or not such users are industrial users and whether or not such users are required to possess a waste discharge permit) shall immediately telephone and notify the director 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.
Within five (5) days following such a discharge, the user shall submit a detailed written report to the director describing the cause(s) of the discharge and the measures to be taken by the user to prevent similar future occurrences. Such 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 city’s sanitary sewer system, natural resources, or any other damage to person or property; nor shall such notification relieve the user of any fines, penalties, or other liability which may be imposed pursuant to this chapter.
