The city may require any user to develop and implement an accidental spill prevention plan (ASPP) or slug control plan. Where deemed necessary by the city, facilities to prevent accidental discharge or slug discharges of pollutants shall be provided and maintained at the user's cost and expense. An accidental spill prevention plan or slug control plan showing facilities and operating procedures to provide this protection shall be submitted to the city for review and approval before implementation. The city shall determine which user is required to develop a plan and require said plan to be submitted within one hundred eighty (180) days after notification by the city. The city may develop such a plan for any user (cf. section 3.3 EPA model: January 2007 EPA 833-B-06-002). Each user shall implement its ASPP as submitted or as modified after such plan has been reviewed and approved by the city. Review and approval of such plans and operating procedures by the city shall not relieve the user from the responsibility to modify its facility as necessary to meet the requirements of this chapter.
Any user required to develop and implement an accidental spill prevention plan shall submit a plan which addresses, at a minimum, the following:
(A) Description of discharge practices, including nonroutine batch discharges;
(B) Description of stored chemicals;
(C) Procedures for immediately notifying the POTW of any accidental or slug discharges with procedures for follow up written notification within five (5) days. Such notification must also be given for any discharge which would violate any of the standards in sections 7-7-2-1 through 7-7-2-4 of this chapter; and
(D) 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 organic chemicals (including solvents), and/or measures and equipment for emergency response.
