(A) The Director shall inspect the facilities of any user to ascertain whether the purpose of this chapter is being met and all requirements are being complied with, in accordance with § 10.20. Persons or occupants or premises where wastewater is created or discharged shall allow the Director ready access at all reasonable times to all parts of the premises for the purposes of inspection, sampling, records examination, or in the performance of any of their duties. The Director, MPCA, and EPA shall have the right to set up on the user’s property such devices as are necessary to conduct samplings, inspection, compliance monitoring, and/or metering operations.
(B) Where a user has security measures in force which would require proper identification and clearance before entry into their premises, the user shall make necessary arrangements with any security guards so that upon presentation of suitable identification, the Director, MPCA, and EPA will be permitted to enter without delay for the purposes of performing their specific responsibilities relative to the provisions of this and other applicable ordinances.
(C) Wastewater discharge records shall be kept by the user for a period of at least three years. The records shall include information required in § 52.001 and any requirements of federal regulations.
(1) All records relating to compliance with pretreatment standards shall be made available by the Director to officials of the EPA or MPCA upon request.
(2) Any user subject to a national categorical pretreatment standard, after the compliance date of the pretreatment standard, or in the case of the commencement of a new discharge to the wastewater disposal system, shall submit to the Director during the months of June and December, unless required more frequently in the pretreatment standard or by the Director, a report indicating the nature and concentration of pollutants in the effluent which are limited by the pretreatment standards. In addition, this report shall include a record of all daily flows which during the reporting period exceeded the average daily flow reported in §§ 52.050 or 52.051(B).
