(A) The Superintendent shall evaluate whether each SIU needs an accidental discharge/slug discharge control plan or other action to control slug discharges. The Superintendent may require any user to develop, submit for approval, and implement such a plan or take such other action that may be necessary to control slug discharges. Alternatively, the Superintendent may develop such a plan for any user. An accidental discharge/slug discharge control plan shall address, at a minimum, the following:
(1) A description of discharge practices, including non-routine batch discharges;
(2) A description of stored chemicals;
(3) Procedures for immediately notifying the Superintendent of any accidental or slug discharge, as required by § 55.195; and
(4) Procedures to prevent adverse impact from any accidental or slug discharge. Such procedures 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/or measures and equipment for emergency response.
(B) The Superintendent may also require the accidental discharge/slug discharge control plan to include any of the following:
(1) A description of the location of stored chemicals, including a site plan or schematic;
(2) A description of the nature and characteristics of stored chemicals, including material safety data sheets (MSDS), and other descriptive documents;
(3) Spill containment through provision of secondary containment devices or diversionary structures;
(4) Measures for containing spills of raw materials or products and intermediate products and wastes; and
(5) Any other measures deemed necessary by the Superintendent to adequately control slug discharges.
