(A) Each permittee shall provide protection from accidental discharge of prohibited materials or other wastes regulated by this code.
(B) For countermeasures to be taken by the Department to minimize damage to the sanitary sewer system and/or degradation of the receiving waters, the permittee shall notify the Department immediately upon accidentally discharging wastes in violation of this code. This notification shall be followed within 15 days of the date of occurrence by a detailed written statement describing causes of the accidental discharge and the measures being taken to prevent future occurrence. Such notification will not relieve the permittee of liability for any expense, loss or damage to the sanitary sewer system or for any fines imposed on the Department on account thereof and/or for any enforcement action pursuant to this occurrence.
(C) In order that officers, agents and employees of permittees be informed of the Department’s requirements, the permittee shall make available to their employees copies of this code, together with such other wastewater information and notices which may be furnished by the Department from time to time for the purpose of improving and making more effective water pollution control. A notice shall be furnished and permanently posted on the permittee’s bulletin board advising officers, agents and employees whom to call in case of an accidental discharge in excess of the limits authorized by the permit.
(D) Any possible connection or entry point for a hazardous and/or prohibited substance to the permittee’s plumbing or drainage system shall be appropriately labeled to warn operating personnel against discharge of such substance in violation of this section.
