(A) Inspections by officials. In order to ensure compliance with the license or permit granted in this subchapter and as a condition for the issuance of any permit or license granted under this subchapter, the applicant shall allow inspections at reasonable and appropriate times by officials of the city or consultants as the city deems appropriate to retain. The license holder shall routinely be given a minimum of 24 hours’ notice of any scheduled inspection, but failure to provide the notice shall not be cause to deny an inspection of any facility, nor shall it be cause to deny enforcement of any ordinance, regulation or law.
(B) Monitoring wells.
(1) The Council may require that any licensee construct and maintain, at the licensee’s expense, ground water monitoring wells on the premises of their junk yard or auto dismantling facility to determine the impact the facility is having on the city’s ground water.
(2) In determining whether to require monitoring wells, the Council shall:
(a) Consult with a licensee, or appoint a representative to consult with the licensee, prior to ordering that licensee to construct a monitoring well;
(b) Consider the specific geographic, topographical and other features of the operation as they pertain to the facilities potential to contaminating the city’s ground water; and
(c) Consider the professional recommendation of the City Engineer or other qualified individual or firm as to the necessity or desirability of constructing monitoring wells at the facility.
(C) Inspections and monitoring. It shall be the responsibility of the city’s Building Inspector to conduct or coordinate all inspection or monitoring activities required by this subchapter or required by any license issued pursuant to this subchapter.
