(A) In the case of any discharge, including, but not limited to, accidental discharges, discharges of a non-routine, episodic nature, a non-customary batch discharge, a slug discharge, or slug load, that might cause potential problems for the POTW, the IU shall immediately telephone and notify the District 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 IU.
(B) Within five days following such discharge, the IU shall, unless waived by the District, submit a detailed written report describing the cause(s) of the discharge and the measures to be taken by the IU to prevent similar future occurrences. Such notification shall not relieve the IU of any expense, loss, damage, or other liability which might be incurred as a result of damage to the POTW, natural resources, or any other damage to person or property; nor shall such notification relieve the IU of any fines, penalties, or other liability which maybe imposed pursuant to this chapter.
(C) A notice shall be permanently posted on the IU’s bulletin board or other prominent place advising employees who to call in the event of a discharge described in division (A) above. Employers shall ensure that all employees, who could cause such a discharge to occur, are advised of the emergency notification procedure.
(D) SIUs are required to notify the District immediately of any changes at its facility affecting the potential for a slug discharge.
