(A) The industrial waste of each user discharging same into the POTW shall be subject to periodic inspection and a determination of the character and concentration of such waste in order to assure compliance with the requirements of this section and requirements of the applicable POTW. This inspection shall be made annually, or more often as deemed necessary by YCWSD, the POTW, SCDHEC or EPA. YCWSD or its designee and the representative of the POTW shall inspect the facilities of any user to ascertain whether the purpose of this code is being met and all requirements are being complied with. Persons or occupants of premises where wastewater is created or discharged shall allow YCWSD or its designee and the POTW or its representatives ready access at all reasonable time to all parts of the premises for the purposes of inspection, sampling, records examination or in the performance of any of their duties and responsibilities. YCWSD or its designee or representative, the POTW, SCDHEC and EPA shall have the right to set up on the user's property such devises as are necessary to conduct sampling, inspection, compliance, monitoring and/or metering operations. When a user has security measures in force which would require proper identification and clearance before entry into the user's premises, the user shall make necessary arrangements with its security guards so that upon presentation of suitable identification, personnel from YCWSD, the POTW, SCDHEC and EPA will be permitted to enter, without delay, for the purposes of performing their specific responsibilities.
(B) Samples shall be collected in such a manner as to be representative of the actual quality of the wastes. The laboratory methods used in the examination of such wastes shall be those set forth in procedures established by the EPA pursuant to § 304(g) of the Act and contained in 40 CFR Part 136 and amendments thereto, or with any other test procedures approved by the EPA. Sampling shall be performed in accordance with techniques approved by the EPA. Where 40 CFR Part 136 does not include a sampling or analytical technique for the pollutant in question, sampling and analysis shall be performed in accordance with the procedures set forth in the EPA publication "Sampling and Analysis Procedure Screening of Industrial Effluents for Priority Pollutants," April, 1977, and amendments thereto, or with any other sampling and analytical procedures approved by the EPA.
(C) The determination by YCWSD or POTW of the character and concentration of industrial wastes shall be binding as the basis for charges.
(D) Total costs incident to the supervision, inspection, sampling and analyzing of wastes shall be made to users discharging wastes into the YCWSD system.
