Significant users shall provide, operate, and maintain at their own expense a sampling manhole or special structure to facilitate monitoring, inspection, sampling, and flow measurement of their discharge by the control authority and the industrial user, and to enable the control authority to conduct other monitoring and sampling as required for determining compliance with discharge requirements, limits, and standards as provided by this chapter. The sampling manhole should be situated on the industrial user's premises in a location readily accessible to the control authority. It shall be the responsibility of the industrial user to obtain any necessary approvals from the city or other government entities which may be required by the location and construction of monitoring facilities in the public street or sidewalk area. This construction shall only occur when another location would be impractical or cause undue hardship upon the industrial users. In no case shall the location be obstructed by landscaping or parked vehicles. There shall be ample room in or near the sampling or monitoring manhole or facility to allow accurate sampling and preparation of samples for analysis. The facility and any permanently installed sampling and measuring equipment shall be maintained at all times in a safe and proper operating condition at the expense of the industrial user. Whether constructed on public or private property, the sampling and monitoring facilities shall be provided in accordance with the control authority's requirements and all applicable local construction standards and specifications.
