In the event of any spill, responsive actions will be taken to prevent oil and hazardous substances from entering any navigable waters or water supplies. All personnel assigned or employed by the Department of the Army will promptly report any observed oil spill, significant discharges of hazardous and toxic substances, or evidence of a spill by discovery of a slick or sheen on water from oil, gasoline, jet fuel, or other hazardous polluting substance. Spill events will be reported immediately by telephonic means to the EPA Regional Office, U.S. Coast Guard District Office or National Response Center (800) 424-8802. On-post spill events not entering navigable waters are to be reported promptly and completely, but EPA or USCG may not require further reporting in accordance with § 650.216.
