At least once every two years, the Wastewater Utility Manager shall evaluate whether each significant industrial user needs an accidental discharge/slug control plan. The Wastewater Utility Manager may require any user to develop, submit for approval, and implement such a plan. An accidental discharge/slug control plan shall address, at a minimum, the following:
(A) Description of discharge practices, including non-routine batch discharges;
(B) Description of stored chemicals;
(C) Procedures for immediately notifying the Wastewater Utility Manager of any accidental or slug discharge, as required by § 51.227; and
(D) Procedures to prevent adverse impact from any accidental or slug discharge. Such procedures must 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 pollutants, including solvents, and measures and equipment for emergency response. Acceptance or approval of any discharge/slug control plan by the Wastewater Utility Manager does not in any way provide protection for any industrial user from enforcement, legal actions, or other actions as allowed by this subchapter.
