(1) 
The City Manager shall have the right to enter the premises of any user as often as deemed necessary (SIUs should expect to be inspected at a minimum once annually) to determine whether the user is complying with all requirements of the Industrial Pretreatment Code and any individual wastewater discharge permit or order issued hereunder. Users shall allow authorized representatives of the City, state and EPA 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.
(2) 
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 representatives shall be permitted to enter without delay for the purposes of performing specific responsibilities. Unreasonable delays in allowing representatives from the City, state, or EPA access to the user's premises shall be a violation of the Industrial Pretreatment Code.
(3) 
Entry may not be conditioned upon any City, state, or EPA representative signing any type of confirmation, release, consent, acknowledgement, or other type of agreement.
(4) 
The City, state and EPA shall have the right to set up on the user's property, or require installation of, such devices as are necessary to conduct sampling, observation, inspection, compliance monitoring and/or metering of the user's operations.
(5) 
The City, state and EPA 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 at the manufacturer's recommendation to ensure their accuracy.
(6) 
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 City, state and EPA and shall not be replaced. The costs of clearing such access shall be borne by the user.
(7) 
Unreasonable delays in allowing the City, State and EPA access to the user's premises shall be a violation of the Industrial Pretreatment Code.
(Ord. No. 6457, 5/15/2023)
(1) 
The City Manager may require the user to install and maintain at its expense a suitable sampling location(s) and/or monitoring equipment, to facilitate representative observation, sampling and measurement of wastewater being discharged.
(2) 
If feasible, such sampling location shall be located where it is accessible from a public road or street and shall be arranged so that flow measuring and sampling equipment and a shutoff gate or a screen may be conveniently installed by the City. If infeasible, the user shall receive prior approval for deviation from this requirement.
(3) 
It shall be constructed in accordance with plans and at a location approved by the City Manager. The approval of such plans shall in no way relieve the user from the responsibility of modifying such sampling location(s) as necessary to ensure representative observation, sampling and measurement.
(4) 
The sampling location(s) and monitoring equipment required in this section shall be maintained in proper working order and kept safe and accessible at all times.
(Ord. No. 6457, 5/15/2023)
If the City Manager 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 the Industrial Pretreatment Code, or that there is a need to inspect and/or sample as part of a routine inspection and sampling program of the City designed to verify compliance with the Industrial Pretreatment Code or any permit or order issued hereunder, or to protect the overall public health, safety and welfare of the community, the City Manager may seek issuance of a search warrant from the Lane County Circuit Court of Oregon or from the Springfield Municipal Court as provided in sections 5.650 through 5.658.
