(A) The Control Authority may inspect the facilities of any discharger to determine compliance with the requirements of this chapter. The discharger shall allow the Control Authority or its representatives to enter upon the premises of the discharger at all reasonable times, for the purposes of inspection, sampling, or examination of records. Any employee, agent, or other representative of the Control Authority who enters private property shall observe the establishment's rules and regulations concerning safety, internal security, and fire protection, and if the property has management in residence, shall notify management or the person then in charge of his presence and shall exhibit proper credentials. The Control Authority shall have the right to set up on the discharger's property such devices as are reasonably necessary to conduct sampling, inspection, compliance monitoring, metering and/or measuring operations.
(B) Any discharges of wastewater or other waste into the POTW shall be subject to inspection and/or sampling as often as may be deemed necessary by the Control Authority. Samples shall be collected in such manner as to be representative of the character and concentration of the wastewater or waste under operating conditions. The Control Authority shall provide the Discharger with a split set of all discharge samples taken. The laboratory methods used in the examination of said waste shall be Standard Methods and/or those set forth in 40 CFR, Part 136. Regular inspections and/or sampling shall be conducted at such times and on such schedules as may be established by the Control Authority. Should a discharger desire that a scheduled inspection and/or sampling be conducted at some time other than that scheduled by the Control Authority, such inspection and/or sampling may be conducted by the Control Authority at the expense of the discharger.
(C) Unscheduled inspections may be conducted whenever deemed by the Control Authority to be reasonably necessary to ensure that the terms of this chapter are complied with.
(D) The failure or refusal of a discharger to allow the access required by this section shall be grounds for the disconnection of water and/or sewer service to the discharger's facility, pursuant to the provisions of this chapter applicable to enforcement and/or termination of service.
