All industries discharging into a public sewer shall perform
such monitoring of their discharge as required by the Commissioner
in any state discharge permit issued pursuant to Chapter 446k, Section
22a-430 of the Connecticut General Statutes, as amended, including
but not limited to installation, use and maintenance of monitoring
equipment, keeping records and reporting the results to the Commissioner.
Such records shall be made available upon request of the Commissioner
or the Superintendent.
Each user shall provide protection from accidental discharge
of prohibited materials or other substances regulated by this chapter.
Facilities to prevent accidental discharge of prohibited materials
shall be provided and maintained at the owner's or user's
own cost and expense. The Commissioner may require that plans showing
facilities and operating procedures be submitted for review and approval
prior to construction of the facilities.
A. Within five days following an accidental discharge, the user shall
submit to the Superintendent and the Commissioner a detailed written
report describing the cause of the discharge and the measures to be
taken by the user to prevent similar future occurrences. Such notification
shall not relieve the user of any expense, loss, damage or other liability
which may be incurred as a result of damage to the water pollution
control facility, fish kills, aquatic plants or any other damage to
persons or property; nor shall such notification relieve the user
of any fines, civil penalties or other liability which may be imposed
by this chapter or other applicable law.
B. A notice shall be permanently posted on the user's bulletin
board or other prominent place advising employees whom to call in
the event of a dangerous discharge. Employers shall ensure that all
employees are advised of the emergency notification procedure.
