               <span class="ital">Protection required.</span> Each user shall provide protection from accidental indirect discharge of any pollutant
               or wastewater in violation of this division. Facilities to prevent accidental indirect
               discharge of materials in violation of this division shall be provided and maintained
               at the owner's or user's own cost and expense. Detailed plans showing facilities and
               operating procedures to provide this protection shall be submitted to the director
               for review, and shall be approved by the director before construction of the facility.
               No user who commences contribution to a WWTP after the effective date of this article
               shall be permitted to introduce pollutants into the system until accidental discharge
               procedures have been approved by the director. Review and approval of such plans and
               operating procedures shall not relieve the industrial user from the responsibility
               to modify the user's facility as necessary to meet the requirements of this article.
               In the case of accidental indirect discharge, it is the responsibility of the user
               to immediately telephone and notify the director or his representative of the incident.
               The notification shall include location of discharge, type of waste, concentration
               and volume, and corrective actions.

               director 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 a WWTP, fish kills, or any other damage to person
               or property; nor shall such notification relieve the user of any fines, civil penalties,
               or other liability which may be imposed by this article or other applicable law.

               division. Users shall ensure that employees who may cause or be responsible for operations
               that may cause an accidental indirect discharge are informed of the user's emergency
               notification procedures.
