Where a user has security measures in force which would require proper identification and clearance before entry into his or her premises, the user shall make necessary arrangements with his or her security guards so that upon presentation of suitable identification, personnel from the town, approval authority, and the EPA will be permitted to enter, without delay, for the purposes of performing their specific responsibilities. Denial of the POTW Director’s approval authority’s, or EPA’s access to the user’s premises shall be a violation of this chapter. Unreasonable delays may constitute denial of access.
