(A) At least once every two years, the Director shall evaluate whether each significant industrial user needs an accidental discharge/slug control plan. The Director may require any user to develop, submit for and obtain approval, and implement such a plan. Alternatively, at the discretion of the Director, the Director may develop such a plan for any user and assess the user a reasonable fee for plan development. A user which is required to prepare an accidental discharge/slug control plan shall submit an approvable plan to the Director no later than 60 days after the Director provides notice to the user of the requirement of a plan. An accidental discharge/slug control plan shall address, at a minimum, the following:
(1) Description of discharge practices, including nonroutine batch discharges;
(2) Description of stored chemicals;
(3) Procedures for immediately notifying the Director of any accidental or slug discharge, including without limitation notifications required by § 51.041(F); and
(4) Procedures to prevent adverse impact from any accidental or slug discharge. Such procedures include, but are not limited to, inspection and maintenance of storage areas, handling and transfer of materials, loading and unloading operations, control of plant site runoff, worker training, building of containment structures or equipment, measures for containing toxic substances and pollutants (including solvents), and measures and equipment for emergency response.
(B) If a user submits or has submitted to the Director plans or documents pursuant to other requirements of local, state, or federal laws and regulations which meet all applicable requirements of this section, the Director may at his or her discretion determine if the user has satisfied the accidental discharge/slug control plan submission requirements of this section.
