This section applies to all facilities that have stormwater discharges, including construction activity or any other discharge to any CS4.
(A) The county may, upon notification, enter and inspect the source of any discharge, including those under an individual or general NPDES permit, that are subject to this chapter when necessary to determine compliance. Failure to cooperate with an inspection constitutes a violation of this chapter.
(B) To determine compliance, the county may inspect, sample, examine, and investigate the source of any discharge to a CS4. In support of any investigation, the county may review and copy any records maintained pursuant to the conditions of any discharge permit or this chapter.
(C) The county may require the discharger to install monitoring equipment if the nature of the discharge warrants. The facility’s sampling and monitoring equipment shall be maintained in a safe and proper operating condition by the discharger at its own expense. All devices used to measure stormwater flow and quality shall be calibrated to ensure accuracy.
