(a) Indication of Loss in Inventory Records. Whenever a material balance or other inventory record, employed as a monitoring technique under the HMMP, indicates a loss of hazardous material, and no unauthorized discharge has been confirmed by other means, a responsible person shall have five working days to determine whether or not there has been an unauthorized discharge. If before the end of such period it is determined that there has been no unauthorized discharge, an entry explaining the occurrence shall be made in the person's monitoring records. Where a responsible person has not been able, within such period, to determine that there has been no unauthorized discharge, an unauthorized discharge is deemed confirmed and the responsible person shall proceed in accordance with Section 17.24.010.
(b) Test Results. Whenever any test results suggest a possible unauthorized discharge and no unauthorized discharge has been confirmed by other means, the responsible person shall have five working days to retest. If second test results obtained within that period establish that there has been no unauthorized discharge, the results of both tests shall be recorded in the person's monitoring records. If it has not been established within such period that there has been no unauthorized discharge, an unauthorized discharge is deemed confirmed and the responsible person shall proceed in accordance with Sections 17.24.010 and 17.24.020.
