20-1.10   Authority to Inspect.
   a.   Generally. Routine or scheduled inspections shall be based upon as reasonable a selection process as may be deemed necessary to carry out the intent of this chapter, including, but not limited to, random sampling or sampling in areas with evidence of stormwater contamination, evidence of the discharge of non-stormwater to the stormwater system, inspection of stormwater treatment and flow-control facilities for proper operation and evidence of routine and corrective maintenance, or similar activities. Inspections may also be conducted in conjunction with routine or scheduled inspections conducted by other public agencies or special districts, including but not limited to the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District, the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District, Contra Costa County Environmental Health Department, the Contra Costa Mosquito and Vector Control District, or the Regional Water Quality Control Board. The Town Council may by resolution establish a schedule of fees for inspections.
   b.   Authority to sample and establish sampling devices. With the consent of the owner or occupant, or pursuant to a search or inspection warrant, any Officer may establish on any property such devices as are reasonably necessary to conduct sampling or metering operations. During all authorized inspections, the Officer may take any sample deemed necessary to aid in the pursuit of the inquiry or in the recordation of the activities on site.
   c.   Notification of spills. All persons in charge of the premises or responsible for emergency response for the premises have a responsibility to train premises' personnel and maintain notification procedures to ensure that immediate notification is provided to the Town of Danville any suspected, confirmed or unconfirmed release of pollutants creating a risk of non-stormwater discharge into the Town stormwater system.
      As soon as any person in charge of the premises or responsible for emergency response for the premises has knowledge of any suspected, confirmed or unconfirmed release of non-stormwater discharge entering the Town stormwater system, such person shall take all necessary steps to ensure the detection and containment and clean up of such release and shall notify the Town of Danville the occurrence by telephoning the Director. This notification requirement is in addition to and not in lieu of other required notifications.
   d.   Requirement to test or monitor. Any officer may require that any person engaged in any activity or owning or operating any premises that may cause or contribute to non-stormwater discharges, undertake such monitoring activities or analysis and furnish such reports as the officer may specify. The burden, including costs of these activities, analysis and reports shall bear a reasonable relationship to the need for the monitoring, analysis and reports and the benefits to be obtained. The recipient of such request shall undertake and provide the monitoring, analysis and reports required.
