A. Whenever there is any release of a chemical substance or combination of chemical substances that exceeds more than ten (10) pounds in weight or five (5) gallons in volume in such a manner or at such a location where, unless remediated, there is a reasonable possibility that the chemical substance will come into contact with or be absorbed into ground water or will enter into the village's potable water supply system, the owner and the occupant of the premises where the release occurred shall immediately notify the village administrator and provide the following information:
1. Any and all actions that have been and are intended to be taken to halt the release of the chemical substance.
2. An estimate of the quantity of the chemical substance released.
3. The methods that are to be used to clean up and otherwise remediate the chemical substance that was released.
B. The notification provided for in subsection A of this section must be given even if the release would not constitute a violation of this chapter. The initial notification of a chemical substance release may be made by telephoning the village administrator or the village's police department. If initial notification of a release is made by telephone or other oral communication, then a written notification of the release containing the information required under subsection A of this section must be made to the village administrator no later than forty eight (48) hours after the release occurred or was first discovered, whichever occurs last.
C. It shall be unlawful for any person to fail to give the notification of a release of a chemical substance or combination of chemical substances as provided in this chapter. (Ord. 2006-O-10, 4-4-2006)
