Such records shall be retained for at least five (5) years.
G. Clean Up Of Spills: Within the requirements of the law, as soon as any person responsible for a facility or operation, or responsible for emergency response for a facility or operation has information of any known or suspected release of materials which are resulting in, or may result in, illicit discharges or pollutants discharging into stormwater or the Municipal separate storm sewer system, the person shall take all necessary steps to ensure the discovery, containment, and cleanup of such release.
