The Director may require any user to develop and implement a Slug Discharge Management Plan (SDMP) or other action to control slug discharges. Where deemed necessary by the Director, facilities to prevent accidental discharge or slug discharges of pollutants shall be provided and maintained at the user's cost and expense. A SDMP, showing facilities and operation procedures to provide this protection, shall be submitted to the Director for review and approval before implementation. The Director shall determine which user is required to develop an SDMP, and require the plan to be submitted within a time period that will be included in the user's industrial user discharge permit. Each user shall implement its SDMP as submitted or modified after such plan has been reviewed and approved by the Director. Review and approval of such plans and operation procedures by the Director shall not relieve the user from the responsibility to modify its facility as necessary to meet the requirements of this chapter.
(A) Any user required to develop and implement an SDMP shall submit a plan which addresses, at a minimum, the following:
(1) Description of discharge practices, including non-routine batch discharges;
(2) Description of stored chemicals;
(3) Procedures for immediately notifying the POTW of any accidental or slug discharge. Such notification must also be given for any discharge which would violate any of the standards set forth in this chapter, and any local, state or federal regulations; and
(4) 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 chemicals (including solvents), and/or measures and equipment for emergency response.
