(A) In order to ensure continuing compliance with the limitations and restrictions set forth in this chapter, each industrial user shall monitor its discharge to the sewer system by testing the discharge with sufficient frequency to ensure that such limitations are not exceeded and such restrictions not violated. Such testing may be accomplished by a professional laboratory, or in cases where the user has sufficient testing capability, facilities and expertise by the user itself.
(B) The Department shall require a laboratory analysis of a user’s discharge at any time. Such analysis shall be performed by:
(1) An independent laboratory acceptable to the Department;
(2) A department laboratory operated by the Department; or
(3) The user itself.
(C) The authority to determine who shall perform the analysis rests with the Department. The Department shall require that all costs associated with such analysis be borne by the user.
(D) The user shall permit access to the sampling point or sampling well to the Department’s representative or the independent laboratory for the purpose of obtaining a sample during any hours of operation by the plants.
