What about a POTW, such as the Binghamton-Johnson City Joint Treatment Plant, which had a wall collapse in a treatment cell and subsequently sustained (unrelated) major damage due to record flooding in Sept. 2011? As a result of these separate disasters, incompletely treated sewage will continue to be discharged until costly repairs can be accomplished. What reporting obligations would be imposed on such a facility under the new law? Must separate reports be filed repeatedly? Or is a single report sufficient until circumstances change?
