(A) All categorical and non-categorical industrial users shall immediately notify the environmental officer of all discharges, including, but not limited to, accidental discharges, discharges of a non-routine, episodic nature, a non-customary batch discharge, or slug loadings as defined in 40 C.F.R. § 403.5(b), that could cause problems to the POTW by the industrial user. This notification shall include the location of the discharge, type of waste, concentration and volume, if known, and corrective taken by the user.
(B) Within five days following such discharge, the industrial user shall, unless waived by the environmental officer, submit a detailed written report describing the cause(s) of the discharge and the measures to be taken by the industrial user to prevent similar future occurrences. Such notification shall not relieve the industrial user of any expense, loss, damage, or other liability which may 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 industrial user of any fines, penalties, or other liability which may be imposed pursuant to this chapter.
