(A) Accidental discharges.
(1) A user shall notify the Superintendent upon accidently discharging chemicals, corrosive substances, or anything harmful to the sewerage system or treatment process, or wastewaters in violation of this section, to enable countermeasures to be taken by the town to minimize damage to the sewerage system, treatment processes, and the receiving stream.
(2) This notification shall be followed within 7 days of the date of occurrence by a detailed written report, signed by the user, describing the causes of the accidental discharge and the measures being taken to prevent future similar occurrences.
(3) Notification will not relieve users of liability for any expense, loss, or damage to the sewerage system, wastewater treatment plant, or treatment process, or any fines or penalties imposed by the Council, which expense, loss, or damage shall be paid for by the user.
(4) A notice shall be furnished and permanently posted advising designated responsible employees to call the Superintendent in case of accidental discharge in violation of this section.
(B) Continued failure to meet wastewater admissibility requirements or the terms of major contributor permits. The Council shall have the methods of recourse stated in Chapters 50 and 52 of the town code of ordinances in the event of repeated or willful failure by a user to meet the wastewater admissibility requirements of this chapter. In addition, the town shall have and the Council may exercise all other legally available remedies.
(C) Administrative appeals.
(1) Any user affected by any decision, action, or determination, including cease and desist orders, made by the Superintendent, interpreting or implementing the provisions of this chapter, any permit issued herein, or any action, decision, or regulation of the Council adopted pursuant thereto, may file with the Council a written request for review and reconsideration within 10 days of a decision, action, or determination, setting forth in detail the facts supporting the user's request for reconsideration.
