Legal Documents of Mosheim

The mayor shall have the right to enter the premises of any user to determine whether the user is complying with all requirements of this chapter and any individual wastewater discharge permit, or order issued hereunder. Users shall allow the mayor ready access to all parts of the premises for the purposes of inspection, sampling, records examination and copying, and the performance of any additional duties.

1. Where a user has security measures in force which require proper 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 mayor shall be permitted to enter without delay for the purposes of performing specific responsibilities.
2. The mayor shall have the right to set up on the user's property or require installation of such devices as are necessary to conduct sampling and/or metering of the user's operations.
3. The mayor may require the user to install monitoring equipment as necessary. The facility's sampling and monitoring equipment shall be maintained at all times in a safe and proper operating condition by the user at its own expense. All devices used to measure wastewater flow and quality shall be calibrated annually (unless otherwise agreed upon by the mayor) to ensure their accuracy.
4. Any temporary or permanent obstruction to safe and easy access to the facility to be inspected and/or sampled shall be promptly removed by the user at the written or verbal request of the mayor and shall not be replaced. The costs of clearing such access shall be borne by the user.
5. Unreasonable delays in allowing the mayor access to the user's premises shall be violation of this chapter. (Ord. #221, April 2010)
