§ 53.08 RIGHT OF ENTRY FOR INSPECTION.
   (A)   The city's inspector may request inspection of a facility whenever the director or any authorized representative of the city wishes to ascertain whether an industrial or commercial facility or a property owner is complying with the purposes and requirements of this program or has cause to suspect that a nuisance exists in any person's property.
   (B)   If a property owner or occupant refuses or delays entry to the City's inspector, such refusal or delay shall constitute a misdemeanor:
   (C)   Persons or occupants of premises from where urban runoff is generated or discharged shall allow the city's inspector ready access at all reasonable times to all parts of the premises for the purposes of inspection or sampling and for the performance of any of their duties.
   (D)   The city shall have the right to set up on the property in question such equipment as is necessary to conduct sampling or metering of urban runoff flows. The owner shall not tamper with, alter or damage any equipment used by the city for the purposes of inspection or monitoring.
   (E)   Where the discharger has security measures in force that would require proper identification and clearance before entry into the premises, the discharger shall make necessary arrangements with the security guards so that, upon the presentation of suitable identification, city personnel will be permitted to enter without delay for the purpose of performing inspection activities.
