(A) When required by the Utilities Director, the owner of any property serviced by a building sewer carrying Class III wastewater discharges shall provide suitable access and necessary meters and other appurtenances in the building sewer to facilitate observation, sampling and measurements of the wastewater. Such access shall be in a readily and safely accessible location and shall be provided in accordance with plans approved by the Utilities Director. The access shall be provided and maintained at the owner’s expense to be safe and accessible at reasonable times.
(B) The Utilities Director shall consider such factors as the volume and strength of discharge, rate of discharge, quantities of toxic materials in the discharge, wastewater treatment facility removal capabilities and cost effectiveness in determining whether access and equipment for monitoring Class III wastewater discharges shall be required.
(C) When the Utilities Director determines access and equipment for monitoring or measuring Class III wastewater discharges are not practicable, reliable or cost effective, the Utilities Director may specify alternative methods of determining the characteristics of the wastewater’s discharge that will, in the Utilities Director’s judgment, provide an equitable measurement.
