(A) In the case of any discharge, including, but not limited to, accidental discharges, discharges of a non-routine, episodic nature, a non-customary batch discharge, or a slug load, which may cause potential problems for the system, the user shall immediately telephone and notify the city manager of the incident. This notification shall include the location of the discharge, type of waste, concentration and volume, if known, and corrective actions taken by the user.
(B) Within five days following such discharge, the user shall, unless this requirement is waived by the city manager, submit 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 that may be incurred as a result of damage to the system, natural resources, or any other damage to person or property, nor shall such notification relieve the user of any fines, penalties, or other liability that may be imposed by this article or any other applicable provision of federal, State or local law.
(C) A notice shall be permanently posted on the user's bulletin board or other prominent place advising employees who to call in the event of a discharge described in subsection (A) above. Employers shall ensure that all employees, who may cause such a discharge to occur, are advised of the emergency notification procedure.
(D) Significant industrial users are required to notify the city manager immediately of any changes at its facility affecting the potential for a slug discharge.
