All <br />persons in charge of commercial and industrial facilities and establishments or <br />other premises, including but not limited to employers and managers, are <br />responsible to train facility personnel on how to recognize and notify the city of <br />any suspected, confirmed or unconfirmed release of material, pollutants or <br />waste creating a risk of unpermitted discharge to the storm drain system. <br />Except as otherwise specified in this title, in the event of an accidental <br />discharge, it is the responsibility of the user to immediately notify the city, the <br />county health department, the Regional Water Quality Control Board, Santa <br />Ana Region, and other applicable federal and state offices as soon as <br />possible following the accidental discharge and in all cases within the time <br />required by law. A notice shall be permanently posted in a prominent place <br />advising employees whom to contact in the event of an accidental discharge. <br />The person(s) in charge of the material, pollutant or waste accidentally <br />discharged shall submit a written report to the director. The report shall <br />describe in detail the type, volume and cause of the discharge, corrective <br />actions taken and measures to be taken to prevent future recurrences. Such <br />notification shall not relieve the user of paying any fines or civil penalties <br />incurred by the user or the city as a result of such event, or any other liability <br />which may be imposed by this title or other applicable laws. <br />Section 14.02.120 Authority to Inspect. <br />A.

Any such request for <br />entry shall be accompanied by a statement to the effect that the property <br />owner or occupant has the right to refuse entry and, except as provided in <br />sub -section C below, that in the event such entry is refused, inspection may <br />be made only upon issuance of a search warrant by a duly authorized <br />magistrate. In the event the owners and/or occupant refuse(s) entry after such <br />request has been made, the director is hereby empowered to seek assistance <br />from any court of competent jurisdiction in obtaining such entry. <br />B. Routine or area inspections shall be based upon such reasonable <br />selection processes as may be deemed necessary to carry out the objectives <br />of this title.
