As soon as any owner or operator has actual or constructive knowledge of any discharge which may result in pollutants entering the public storm drain system, such person shall promptly take all necessary steps to ensure the discovery of the source and the extent and proceed with containment and cleanup of such discharge.
(B) The owner or operator shall notify the Director or the City Engineer of the discharge in both of the following manners:
1. By telephone as soon as practical or by calling 9-1-1, if hazardous materials are involved; and
2. By written report identifying the discharge source, extent, pollutant, measures taken to mitigate the discharge and preventative measures put into place to prevent a subsequent discharge.
