For the purposes of determining compliance with, and enforcement of, the provisions of this article, authorized representatives shall, at reasonable times, be admitted to any property from which a discharge is known, or is suspected. When security measures requiring identification and clearance before entry are in place on such property, the owner or agent of the owner, or a lawful occupant of the property shall make all necessary arrangements to allow authorized representatives, upon presentation of official identification, to enter the property without delay. If such entry is refused or cannot be obtained, the manager shall have recourse to every remedy provided by law to secure lawful entry and take necessary action.
If authorized representatives have reason to believe that discharge conditions on, or emanating from, the property require immediate action to safeguard the public health or safety, they shall have the right to immediately enter, inspect the property and take such action, after making reasonable efforts to locate and obtain permission from the owner or an agent of the owner, or a lawful occupant of the property.
