The Pretreatment Coordinator shall have the right to enter the
premises of any user to determine whether the user is complying with
all requirements of this part and any individual wastewater discharge
permit or order issued hereunder. Users shall allow the Pretreatment
Coordinator 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.
A. 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 Pretreatment Coordinator
shall be permitted to enter without delay for the purposes of performing
specific responsibilities.
B. The Pretreatment Coordinator 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.
C. The Pretreatment Coordinator 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.
D. 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 Pretreatment Coordinator
and shall not be replaced. The costs of clearing such access shall
be at the user's own cost and expense.
E. Unreasonable delays in allowing the Pretreatment Coordinator access
to the user's premises shall be a violation of this part.
If the Pretreatment Coordinator has been refused access to a
building, structure, or property, or any part thereof, and is able
to demonstrate probable cause to believe that there may be a violation
of this part, or that there is a need to inspect and/or sample as
part of a routine inspection and sampling program of the Borough designed
to verify compliance with this part or any permit or order issued
hereunder, or to protect the overall public health, safety and welfare
of the community, the Pretreatment Coordinator may seek issuance of
a search warrant from the Court of Common Pleas of Jefferson County
or any other court having appropriate jurisdiction.
