Under section 22 of the Local Nuisance and Litter Control Act 2016 you are taken to have disposed of litter if you caused or allowed it to be disposed of, and the occupier of the place the litter came from is taken to have disposed of it too.

Emergency Spill Response in Adelaide, FAQs

What should I do first in a spill?

Make people safe and stop the source if it is safe to do so, then stop it reaching a drain, because once it is in stormwater the clean-up and the penalties multiply. Call a response contractor and notify the EPA if it is reportable in your state.

How quickly can a crew get to site?

Metropolitan response is usually within a couple of hours, and longer regionally. If your site handles bulk fuel or chemicals it is worth having a contractor on a standing arrangement rather than looking for one mid-incident.
