Wastewater monitoring and flow measurement facilities shall be properly operated, kept clean, and maintained in good working order at all times. The failure of a user to keep its monitoring facility in good working order shall not be grounds for the user to claim that sample results are unrepresentative of its discharge. If a user subject to the reporting requirement in this section monitors any pollutant more frequently than required by the Executive Director, using the procedures prescribed in Section 10-5.10 of this Article, the results of this monitoring shall be included in the report. Section 10-5.5 Reports of Changed Conditions.

Section 10-5.6 Reports of Potential Problems. mo In the case of any discharge, including, but not limited to, accidental discharges, discharges of a nonroutine, episodic nature, a noncustomary batch discharge, or a slug load, that may cause potential problems for the POTW, the user shall immediately telephone and notify the Executive Director of the incident. This notification shall include the location of the discharge, type of waste, concentration and volume, if known, and corrective actions taken by the user. bo Within five (5} days following such discharge, the user shall, unless waived by the Executive Director, submit a detailed written report describing the cause(s) 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 POTW, natural resources, or any other damage to person or property; nor shall such notification relieve the user of any fines, penalties, or other liability which may be imposed pursuant to this Article. A notice shall be permanently posted on the user's bulletin board or other prominent place advising employee's whom to call in the event of a discharge described in paragraph (a), above.
