Notwithstanding other requirements of law, as soon as any person responsible for a
facility or operation, or responsible for emergency response for a facility or operation
has information of any known or suspected release of materials which are resulting
or may result in illegal discharges or pollutants discharging into stormwater, the
storm drain system, or water of the U.S. said person shall take all necessary steps
to ensure the discovery, containment, and cleanup of such release. In the event of
such a release of hazardous materials said person shall immediately notify emergency
response agencies of the occurrence via emergency dispatch services. In the event
of a release of non-hazardous materials, said person shall notify the authorized enforcement
agency in person or by phone or facsimile no later than the next business day. Notifications
in person or by phone shall be confirmed by written notice addressed and mailed to
the city's NPDES stormwater permit manager within three (3) business days of the phone
notice. If the discharge of prohibited materials emanates from a commercial or industrial
establishment, the owner or operator of such establishment shall also retain an on-site
written record of the discharge and the actions taken to prevent its recurrence. Such
records shall be retained for at least three (3) years.
