Any duly authorized officer, employee or representative of the department may, with the consent of the person or persons in control of an air contaminant source, enter and inspect any property, premises or place on or at which such an air contaminant source is located or is being constructed, installed or established, at any reasonable time, for the purposes of ascertaining the state of compliance with this chapter and rules and regulations in force pursuant thereto.
B. A suitably restricted search warrant, upon a showing of probable cause in writing and upon oath or affirmation, may be issued by a court of competent jurisdiction to such officer, employee or representative of the department for the purpose of enabling him to make such inspection.
C. No person shall refuse entry or access to any authorized representative of the department who requests entry for purposes of inspection, and who presents appropriate credentials and warrant, nor shall any person obstruct, hamper or interfere with any such inspection. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent prompt inspection without consent or appropriate warrant in emergency situations. If requested, the owner or operator of the premises shall receive a report setting forth all facts found which relate to compliance status. (Prior code § 3-1-8)
