(A) When necessary to monitor wastewater discharged into the POTW, the environmental officer may require an industrial user to provide and install, at its own expense, a suitable control manhole in an easily accessible location on the premises from which the waste is discharged in order to adequately sample and measure such wastewater. Installation of meters, equipment and accessories as deemed necessary by the environmental officer may also be required.
(B) A required control manhole shall be:
(1) Near the outlet of each building lateral, sewer, drain, pipe, or channel, which connects with the wastewater system;
(2) Designed and constructed to prevent infiltration by ground or surface water;
(3) Located to provide ample room in or near the facility to allow accurate sampling and preparation of samples for analyses; and
(4) Maintained by the user at all times in safe and proper operating condition.
(C) Before beginning construction of a control manhole, the user shall submit plans to the environmental officer for review and approval to insure compliance with this section. Plans must include any meters or other equipment required to be installed.
