Any discharge that meets the criteria of accidental/slug discharge shall be considered a reportable discharge. In the event of an accidental/slug discharge, it is the responsibility of the discharger to notify the POTW treatment plant at the time of the discharge. The notifications shall include the location, time, volume, substance(s), concentrations, corrective actions and the persons to be contacted concerning the discharge. Within five days the discharger must submit a written report to the director explaining all the details of the discharge, the procedures taken to mitigate the effects of the discharge, and the manner in which the waste was disposed. This report shall also include a description of the measures taken by the company to prevent future occurrences. Notification does not relieve the discharger of any expense, loss, damage, or other liability which may have been incurred as a result of damage to the POTW, to person(s) or personal property; nor does such notification relieve the discharger of any fines, penalties incurred by this chapter or other regulatory authority. (Ord. 3220 § 2, 2016; Ord. 2742 § 2, 2008; Ord. 1705, 1989. Formerly 14.60.335)
