A. Each permittee shall provide protection from accidental discharges of materials prohibited by CVMC 13.12.010. Permittees shall provide and maintain facilities to prevent accidental prohibited discharge at the permittee’s own cost and expense. Plans and specifications for such facilities shall be subject to review and approved by the Director.

B. In the case of an accidental prohibited discharge, the permittee shall:

1. Immediately notify both the Director and the city of San Diego water utilities department industrial waste program (“San Diego”) of the incident. The notification shall include location of discharge, type of waste, concentration and volume, and corrective actions.

2. Within five days following an accidental discharge, submit to the Director and to San Diego a detailed written report describing the cause of the discharge and the measures to be taken by the permittee to prevent similar future occurrences. Such notification shall not relieve the permittee of any expense, loss, damages or other liability which may be incurred as a result of damage to any wastewater systems, fish kills or any other damage to persons or property; nor shall such notification relieve the permittee of any fines, civil penalties or other liability which may be imposed by this title or other applicable law.

3. Cause a notice to be permanently posted on the permittee’s bulletin board or other prominent place prominently displaying for employees the names and telephone numbers to call in the event of an accidental prohibited discharge. Permittees shall ensure that all employees who may cause, allow or observe such an accidental discharge to occur are properly trained regarding compliance with the emergency notification procedures. (Ord. 2466 § 7, 1991).
