§ 12.5-330 APPLICABILITY.
   This division applies to all facilities located within the city that have stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity, including construction activity.
(Ord. 13808, § 1, passed 5-18-1999)
§ 12.5-331 ACCESS TO FACILITIES.
   (a)   The director is authorized by § 12.5-121 of this chapter to enter and inspect facilities subject to regulation under this article.
   (b)   Facility operators shall allow the director ready access to all parts of the premises for the purposes of inspection, sampling, examination and copying of records that must be kept under the conditions of an NPDES or TPDES permit to discharge stormwater, and the performance of any additional duties as defined by state and federal law.
   (c)   The director shall have the right to set up on any permitted facility such devices as are necessary in the opinion of the director to conduct monitoring and/or sampling of the facility’s stormwater discharge.
   (d)   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 operator at the written or oral request of the director and shall not be replaced. The costs of clearing such access shall be borne by the operator.
   (e)   Unreasonable delays in allowing the director access to a permitted facility is a violation of a stormwater discharge permit and of this article. A person who is the operator of a facility with a NPDES or TPDES permit to discharge stormwater associated with industrial activity commits an offense if the person denies the director reasonable access to the permitted facility for the purpose of conducting any activity authorized or required by this article.
