<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Sec. 34-72. Inspection, Sampling and Right of <br /> Entry. <br /> The City may inspect the facilities at least <br /> annually of every user to ascertain whether the <br /> requirements of this article are being met accord- <br /> ing to the purposes herein stated. All significant <br /> industrial users shall be inspected at least <br /> annually. Persons or occupants of premises where <br /> wastewater is created or discharged shall allow <br /> City or their authorized representative(s) ready <br /> access at any and all reasonable times to a11 parts <br /> ot the premises necessary for the purpose of <br /> inspection, sampling, records, examination or the <br /> performance of any of their official duties. The <br /> City, the state agencies with jurisdiction and the <br /> EPA shall have the right to set up on the user's <br /> property such devices as are necessary to conduct <br /> sampling, inspection, compliance monitoring and/or <br /> metering operations. If a user has in force <br /> security measures requiring proper identification <br /> and clearance prior ta entry into their premises, <br /> the user shall make any necessary arrangements with <br /> their security service(s) so that personnel from <br /> the City presenting suitable identification (or <br /> such personnel from state or federal agencies) will <br /> be allowed to enter, without delay, for the pur- <br /> poses of performing their specific responsibili- <br /> ties. In no case shall there be a delay greater <br /> than ten (lU) minutes for access to control points <br /> or control manholes and thirty (30) minutes for <br /> access to records or facility inspection. Sampling <br /> shall be done on a twenty-four-hour composite, flow <br /> weighted basis when possible. No part of this <br /> article sha11 be interpreted to prevent nonflow- <br /> weighted composite ur grab sampling whenever <br /> necessary or required to monitor or check any user <br /> for compliance with th:is article. All sampling and <br /> analysis shall be in accordance with the methods <br /> described in 40 CFR Part 136. <br /> Sec. 34-73. Sample Analysis. <br /> (a) Wastewater and waste samples will be <br /> collected and tests performed by City personnel at <br /> the City's discretion. The laboratory procedures <br /> to be used in the examination of industrial or <br /> other wastes or wastewater will be those set forth <br /> in 40 CFR 136. All significant industrial users <br /> shall be sampled at lease once every six months. <br /> Sampling may be required at a greater frequency if <br /> a violation is found. Users subject to categorical <br /> pretreatment standards shall be sampled a minimum <br /> of once a month for substances limited in appro- <br /> priate standards until a one-year history of <br /> compliant sampling is established. They shall <br /> thereafter be sampled twice annually unless a <br /> violation is found. When a violation is found, <br /> sampling shall be of a frequency ta identify the <br /> magnitude of the violation and continued at the <br /> discretion ot the City until compliance is achieved <br /> and the City is satisfied that the reason for the <br /> problem has been corrected. Sampling may be done <br /> by the user, City or contract personnel at the <br /> discretion of the City. All regular sampling and <br /> analysis costs set forth above shall be paid by the <br /> user. <br /> -12- <br />
