   Users subject to the reporting requirements of this chapter shall retain, and make available for inspection and copying, all records of information obtained pursuant to any monitoring activities required by this chapter, any additional records of information obtained pursuant to monitoring activities undertaken by the User independent of such requirements, and documentation associated with Best Management Practices. Records shall include the date, exact place, method, and time of sampling, and the name of the EPA Model Pretreatment Ordinance 39 person(s) taking the samples; the dates analyses were performed; who performed the analyses; the analytical techniques or methods used; and the results of such analyses. These records shall remain available for a period of at least three (3) years. This period shall be automatically extended for the duration of any litigation concerning the User or [the City], or where the User has been specifically notified of a longer retention period by [the Superintendent].
   (a)    The Authority shall have the right to enter the premises of any User to determine whether the User is complying with all requirements of this chapter and any individual wastewater discharge permit or order issued hereunder. Users shall allow the Authority ready access to all parts of the premises for the purposes of inspection, sampling, records examination and copying, and the performance of any additional duties.
       (1)   Where a User has security measures in force which require proper identification and clearance before entry into its premises, the User shall make necessary arrangements with its security guards so that, upon presentation of suitable identification, the Authority shall be permitted to enter without delay for the purposes of performing specific responsibilities.
      (2)   The Authority shall have the right to set up on the User's property, or require installation of, such devices as are necessary to conduct sampling and/or metering of the User's operations.
      (3)   The Authority may require the User to install monitoring equipment as necessary. The facility's sampling and monitoring equipment shall be maintained at all times in a safe and proper operating condition by the User at its own expense. All devices used to measure wastewater flow and quality shall be calibrated [insert desired frequency] to ensure their accuracy.
      (4)   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 or verbal request of the Authority and shall not be replaced. The costs of clearing such access shall be born by the User.
      (5)   Unreasonable delays in allowing the Authority access to the User's premises shall be a violation of this chapter.
