(a) Each user or person that uses or stores liquid material at its facilities shall, at its expense:
(1) Provide a storage or use area at its facilities which is capable of containing the liquid material so that liquid material cannot escape therefrom by gravity through private sewers, underground percolation and infiltration, or otherwise into the POTW in an amount which would result in a prohibited discharge to the POTW; and
(2) Establish and follow procedures for preventing, managing and remediating accidental spills, leaks or escapes of liquids.
(b) The City Director may order the user or person to:
(1) Conduct an investigation to determine if any known or suspected spill, leak or escape of liquid materials is being discharged, or has the potential for being discharged, to the POTW and to submit a written report on the findings of the investigation to the City, including all analytical and hydrogeological data; and
(2) Take interim measures for immediate or emergency containment and remediation, for preventing, reducing, abating or mitigating the effect(s) of a discharge of liquid material to the POTW.
(c) A significant non-domestic user shall submit to the City Director a written description of its containment facilities and procedures within 30 days after being requested to do so by the City Director.
