§ 115-15. Inspections and sampling.

The City may inspect the facilities of any user to ascertain whether or not the purposes of this chapter are being met and all requirements are being complied with. Persons or occupants of premises where wastewater is created or discharged shall allow the City or its representative ready access at all reasonable times all parts of the premises for the purposes of inspection, sampling or records examination or in the performance of any of his, her or its duties. The city, the approval authority, the MDEQ and the EPA may set upon the user's property such devices as are necessary to conduct sampling, inspection, compliance monitoring and/or metering operations. Where a user has security measures in force which would require property identification and clearance before entry into its premises, the user shall make necessary arrangements with its security guards so that, upon presentation of suitable identification, the city, the approval authority, the MDEQ or the EPA will be permitted to enter, without delay, for the purposes of performing its specific responsibilities.
