§ 1034.11 ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGES.
   (a)   Each user shall provide protection from accidental discharge of prohibited materials or other substances regulated by this chapter. Facilities to prevent accidental discharge of prohibited materials shall be provided and maintained at the owner's or user's own cost and expense. Detailed plans showing facilities and operating procedures to provide this protection shall be submitted to the village for review and shall be approved before construction of the facility. All existing users shall complete a plan by January 1, 1983. No user who commences contribution to the village waste water treatment plant after the effective date of this chapter (Ordinance 1584, passed October 18, 1982) shall be permitted to introduce pollutants into the system until accidental discharge procedures have been approved by the village. Review and approval of such plans and operating procedures shall not relieve the industrial user from the responsibility to modify the user's facility as necessary to meet the requirements of this chapter. In the case of an accidental discharge, the user shall immediately telephone and notify the village waste water treatment plant of the incident. The notification shall include the location of the discharge, the type of waste, the concentration and volume and corrective actions.
   (b)   Within five days following an accidental discharge, the user shall submit to the Village Administrator a detailed written report describing the cause of the discharge and the measures to be taken by the user to prevent similar future occurrences. Such notification shall not relieve the user of any expense, loss, damage or other liability which may be incurred as a result of damage to the village waste water treatment plant, fish kills or any other damage to persons or property, nor shall such notification relieve the user of any fine, civil penalty or other liability which may be imposed under Chapters 1030 through 1036 or other applicable laws.
   (c)   A notice shall be permanently posted on the user's bulletin board or other prominent place advising employees whom to call in the event of a dangerous discharge. Employers shall ensure that all employees who may cause or suffer such a dangerous discharge to occur are advised of the emergency notification procedure.
   (d)   No person shall fail to notify the village of an accidental discharge of a prohibited waste material within one hour of such discharge into a sewer or waterway. Any damage to the sewerage system or sewage treatment plant caused by such accidental discharge shall be the liability of the originator of the discharge.
