(A) Inspection. The authority may inspect the pretreatment facilities, sampling station, and production area of any industrial user to determine compliance with the requirements of this chapter. The industrial user shall allow the Superintendent or his authorized representative to enter upon the premises of the industrial user during normal working hours that the industrial user maintains for the purpose of inspection, sampling, meter reading or records examination.
(B) Sampling.
(1) The authority shall have the right to sample the waste stream from each industrial user at anytime to determine compliance with the regulations of this chapter and the industrial user's industrial waste permit. The authority may use the sampling station installed by the industrial user for this purpose. The authority shall offer to split its samples with the industrial user for their own analysis.
(2) In the case of analyses performed by both the authority and the industrial user resulting in substantially different values using the same procedures as set forth in 40 CFR Part 136, a compromise shall be negotiated or sampling deemed in error and performed again.
(3) Each industrial user shall self monitor their waste stream as specified in their industrial waste permit. Samples shall be collected in such a manner as to be representative of the composition of the waste stream. The sampling shall be accomplished by use of automatic sampling devices capable of collecting 24-hour composite samples. Automatic sampling devices may be available from the authority on a first come first serve basis and for a nominal fee.
(C) Analysis of samples. Laboratory analysis of industrial wastewater samples shall be in accordance with standard methods as set forth in 40 CFR 136. Laboratories performing such analyses shall be approved by an appropriate regulatory agency.
