(A) Each discharger must provide protection from accidental discharge of prohibited or regulated materials or substances to sewers of the town. Where necessary, procedures and facilities to prevent the accidental discharge of prohibited materials must be provided and maintained at the discharger's expense. Detailed plans showing facilities and operating procedures to provide this protection shall be submitted to the town for review and be approved by the town before construction of the facility. Review and approval of the plans and operating procedures by the town shall not relieve the discharger from responsibility to modify its facility as necessary to meet applicable federal, state and local requirements.
(B) Dischargers shall notify the Superintendent, or his representative, immediately when a SLUG LOAD or accidental discharge occurs. A written report shall be submitted within five days of the incident. The notification must include the location of the discharge, date and time of occurrence, type of waste, concentration, volume and corrective actions taken. Any industrial user who discharges a SLUG LOAD of prohibited materials will be liable for any expense, including loss or damage to the Water Pollution Control Utility sewerage system in addition to the amount of any fines imposed upon the town under state or federal law.
(C) Signs must be permanently posted in conspicuous places on the discharger's premises, advising employees whom to call in the event of an accidental discharge. Employers shall instruct all employees who may cause or discover such a discharge as to the emergency notifications procedures.
