for facility operation and maintenance. The manual shall describe the function,
start-up, shutdown, and periodic maintenance procedures for each unit process and each
item of mechanical and electrical equipment. The appropriate responses or facility
adjustments to minimize the impact of emergency situations shall be described so
as to facilitate rapid implementation of a correct response during emergencies. A copy
of the operation and maintenance manual shall be submitted to the health department for

of an existing mobile home park or seasonal mobile home park shall provide the
operation and maintenance manual not later than 1 year from the effective date of

facilities used for collection, transportation, or treatment of wastes, in excess of those
authorized, the owner shall take all measures necessary to correct the problem and
eliminate the discharge.

health department, the local health department, and the municipality. The notice shall
be supplemented by a written report filed with the health department, the local health
department, and the municipality within 72 hours, outlining the cause, its discovery,
and the corrective actions taken to minimize adverse impact to the waters of the state,
to restore facilities to operative condition, and to eliminate the need for future
diversion or bypass. This rule does not supersede, rescind, or otherwise alter any
other procedure, rule, or statute pertaining to pollution of the waters of the state.
