(A) The control authority shall inspect the facilities of any user to ascertain whether the purpose of this chapter is being met and all requirements are being complied with. Persons or occupants of premises where wastewater is created or discharged shall allow the City or its representative ready access at all reasonable times to all parts of the premises for the purposes of inspection, sampling, examining, or copying any records that must be kept under conditions of the permit, and/or in the performance of any of their duties. Inspection may include any facilities, equipment (including monitoring and control equipment), practices, or operations regulated or required under the permit. The City will randomly inspect and sample all categorical users and significant industrial users at least once a year. All associated sampling costs will be incurred by the user.
(B) The control authority will randomly inspect industrial users and conduct surveillance activities in order to identify, independent of information supplied by industrial users, occasional and continuing noncompliance with pretreatment standards. The City will evaluate, at least once every two years, whether each such categorical users and significant industrial user need a plan to control slug discharges as set forth in § 51.044.
(C) The control authority shall have the right to set up on the user’s property such devices as are necessary to conduct sampling, inspection, compliance monitoring, and/or metering operations for any substances or parameters at any location for the purposes of assuring permit compliance or as otherwise authorized by this chapter.
(D) Where a user has security measures in force which would require proper identification and clearance before entry into their premises, the user shall make necessary arrangements with their security guards so that upon presentation of suitable identification, personnel from the City will be permitted to enter, without delay, for the purposes of performing their specific responsibilities.
