Users shall immediately notify by telephone the city at the water recycling facility as designated in the permit or dial 911 upon accidentally discharging waste in violation of these regulations and/or a slug load to enable counter measures to be taken by the city to minimize damage to the sewerage system, the POTW and receiving water. The notification shall include location of discharge, type of waste, concentration and volume, and corrective actions. This notification does not relieve the user of the responsibility of notifying all other required agencies as outlined in the California Code of Regulations, Title 19, and other applicable regulations.

The initial notification shall be followed, within five days of the date of occurrence, by a detailed written statement to the city describing the cause of the accidental discharge and the measures being taken to prevent future occurrences. Such notification will not relieve users of liability for any expense, loss or damage to the sewerage system, or for any fines imposed by the city, or for other violations of federal, state, or local law where applicable. (Ord. 2282 NCS §3 (part), 2007.)
