This certification must accompany an alternative report required by the Director:

[specify applicable national pretreatment standard part of parts], I certify that, to the best of my knowledge and belief that, during the period from [specify month, day , and year] to [specify month, day, and year]:

(c) Furthermore, all reports shall be signed by an authorized representative of the industrial user. If an authorization under Section 915.010(a)(4), is no longer accurate because a different individual or position has responsibility for the overall operation of the facility, or overall responsibility for environmental matters for the company, a new authorization satisfying the requirements of Section 915.010(a)(4) must be submitted to the Director prior to or together with any reports to be signed by an authorized representative.
(Ord. 30-14. Passed 3-3-14.)
(a) The Director shall inspect the facilities and the process and operation records of any user to determine compliance with the requirements of these regulations. The user shall allow the Director or its representatives, upon presentation of credentials of identification, access to all process and operation documents and to enter upon the premises of the user at all reasonable hours for the purposes of inspection, sampling, or records examination. Reasonable hours, at a minimum, shall include any time an industrial user has employees on the premises.
(b) Where the user has security measures in force which require proper identification and clearance before entry into its premises, the user shall make necessary arrangements with its security guards so that, upon presentation of suitable identification, the Director shall be permitted to enter without delay for the purposes of performing specific responsibilities.
(c) The Director shall have the right to set up on the user's property such devices as are necessary to conduct sampling, inspection, compliance, monitoring and/or metering operations. The Director shall, at all times, have free access to the premises and process and operation records of any user, and free access to the premises and process and operation records of any person reasonably believed by the Director to be a user or possible user, for the purpose of inspecting, sampling, or testing the discharge emanating therefrom, or any discharge which may emanate therefrom in order to determine whether such discharge, or potential discharge is acceptable or unacceptable to the City.
(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 user at the written or verbal request of the Director and shall not be replaced. The costs of clearing such access shall be borne by the user.
(e) Unreasonable delays in allowing the Director access to the user's premises shall be a violation of these regulations.
(f) The Director shall evaluate the need for a plan, device or structure to control a potential slug discharge, as defined in 915.010(46), at least once during the term of each significant industrial user's wastewater discharge permit. Additional significant industrial users shall be evaluated within one year of being identified a significant industrial user. If the Director decides a slug control plan is needed, the plan shall be developed in accordance with Section 915.107(b). (Ord. 30-14. Passed 3-3-14.)
(a) The owner or operator of a facility discharging industrial wastes shall install at his own cost a suitable manhole or manholes together with such necessary meters and other appurtenances to facilitate observation, sampling and measurement of the combined wastes from said premise. Such manhole, when required, shall be accessibly and safely located, and shall be constructed in accordance with plans approved by the City Water Pollution Control Board. The manhole shall be installed by the owner at his expense and shall be maintained by him so as to be safe and accessible at all times. Such manhole shall be provided by the owner within ninety days after notification that such a manhole is required by the Board. The manhole shall be constructed and designed as required by the Board and as shown in Section 915.313.
(b) The monitoring manhole and equipment shall be located and maintained on the industrial user's premises outside of the building and plant perimeter fence. When such a location would be impractical or cause undue hardship on the user, the Chairman of the Water Pollution Control Board may authorized such facility to be constructed in the public street or sidewalk area, with the approval of the public agency having jurisdiction over such street or sidewalk, and located so that it will not be obstructed by public utilities, landscaping or parked vehicles. In this case immediate access, within ten minutes, to the sampling location must be provided at any time of day or night.
(c) When more than one user can discharge into a common sewer, the Chairman of the Water Pollution Control Board may require installation of separate sampling manholes and monitoring equipment for each user. When there is a significant difference in wastewater constituents and characteristics produced by different operations of single user, the Chairman of the Board may require that separate monitoring facilities be installed for each separate discharge.
(d) Whether constructed on public or private property, the monitoring facilities shall be constructed in accordance with the Chairman of the Board's requirements and all applicable construction standards specifications.
