§ 21.15. Notification of Uncontrolled Discharges Required.

A.

Upon the discovery of an illicit or uncontrolled discharge to any District storm drain, the discharger or permittee shall immediately notify the Chief Engineer of the incident by telephone in addition to any other notifications to public agencies as may be required by law. The notification shall include the location of the discharge, type of materials discharged, estimated concentration and volume of the discharge, and corrective actions taken and/or to be taken to contain or minimize the effects of the discharge.

B.

Within ten (10) calendar days after the first discovery of the illicit or uncontrolled discharge, the discharger or permittee shall submit to the Chief Engineer a detailed written report describing the cause of the discharge, corrective action taken, measures to be taken to prevent future occurrences, and measures taken to remediate the effects of the discharge. Such notification shall not relieve the discharger or permittee from liability or fines incurred as a result of the illicit or uncontrolled discharge.
