Any user required to have a waste discharge permit shall provide and operate, at the user’s own expense, monitoring facilities to allow inspection, sampling, and flow measurement of discharges from process wastestreams (CIUs) into the building sewer and/or other internal drainage systems prior to discharge to the city’s sanitary sewer system. The monitoring facility shall be situated on the user’s premises, but the director may, when such a location would be impractical or cause undue hardship to the user, allow the facility to be constructed in the public street or sidewalk area. The monitoring facility shall be located so that it will not be obstructed by landscaping or parked vehicles. Any temporary or permanent obstruction to safe and easy access to the facility to be inspected and/or sampled shall be promptly removed by the user at the written request of the director and shall not be replaced. The costs of clearing such access shall be borne by the user. There shall be ample room in or near such sampling manhole or facility to allow accurate sampling and preparation of samples for analysis. The precise location shall be specified in the user’s wastewater discharge permit.
The facility, sampling, and measuring equipment shall be maintained and calibrated at all times in a safe and proper operating condition at the expense of the user. The facility shall be readily accessible to city personnel at all times. Whether constructed on public or private property, the sampling and monitoring facilities must meet the city’s requirements and all applicable local construction standards and specifications. Construction shall be completed within ninety (90) days following written notification by the city.
