A. Whenever the District Engineer or any authorized representative of the District (1) has cause to suspect that a nuisance exists in any users’ facilities, or (2) wishes to ascertain whether an industrial user is complying with the purposes and requirements of this chapter, the District’s representative may enter and inspect the facilities for the above purposes. If the owner or occupant refuses or delays entry to the District’s representative, such refusal or delay constitutes a misdemeanor.

B. Persons or occupants of premises where industrial wastewater is generated or discharged shall allow the District’s representative ready access at all reasonable times to all parts of the premises for the purpose of inspection or sampling and in the performance of any of their duties.

C. The District shall have the right to set up on the industrial discharger’s property such equipment as is necessary to conduct sampling or metering of wastewater flows. The industrial discharger shall not tamper with, alter or damage any equipment used by the District for the purposes of inspection or monitoring.

D. Where the industrial discharger has security measures in force which would require proper identification and clearance before entry into the premises, the industrial user shall make the necessary arrangements with the security guards so that, upon the presentation of suitable identification, District personnel will be permitted to enter without delay for the purpose of performing inspection activities.
