If an emergency response by governmental agencies is needed, the owner or operator should call 911 immediately to report the discharge. Furthermore, as required by the Indiana Spill Rule (327 IAC 2-6.1-7), reports must be made within two hours of discovery. A written report must be provided to the town within five days of the time the discharger becomes aware of the circumstances, unless this requirement is waived by the town for good cause shown on a case-by-case basis, containing the following information:
(A) A description of the discharge;
(B) The exact dates and times of discharge; and
(C) Steps being taken to eliminate and prevent recurrence of the discharge.
