(A) Each discharger shall provide and operate at the discharger's own expense, a monitoring facility or location for inspection, sampling, and flow measurement of each sewer discharge to the POTW. Each monitoring facility shall be situated on the discharger's premises, except where such a location would be impractical or cause undue hardship on the discharger. The POTW may concur with the facility being constructed in the public street or sidewalk area providing that the facility is located so that it will not be obstructed by landscaping or parked vehicles. Requests for installation on property not owned by the discharger shall be made in writing to the POTW. The POTW may accept, modify or reject the request and shall provide a written notification to the discharger of the action taken by the POTW.
(B) There shall be ample room in or near such sampling facility to allow accurate sampling and preparation of samples for analysis. The facility, sampling, and measuring equipment shall be maintained at all times in a safe and proper operating condition at the expense of the discharger.
(C) All monitoring facilities shall be constructed and maintained in accordance with all applicable local construction standards and specifications. Construction shall be completed within 120 days of receipt of a permit or contract by an existing discharger and prior to initiation of operations by a new discharger.
(D) The POTW may inspect the monitoring facilities of any discharger to determine compliance with the requirements of this chapter. The discharger shall allow the POTW, Control Authority, the Department of Environmental Quality, or their representatives, upon presentation of credentials or identification, to enter the premises of the discharger at all reasonable hours, for the purposes of inspection, sampling, records examination, or records copying. The POTW, Control Authority, Department of Environmental Quality, or their representatives, shall have the right to set up on the discharger's property, such devices as are or may be necessary to conduct sampling, inspection, compliance monitoring, and/or metering operations.
