SECTION 6 - COMPLIANCE MONITORING 6.1 Inspection and Sampling Continued connection and use of the Everett Municipal sewer system shall be contingent on the right of the City to inspect and sample all discharges into the system. The City shall have the right to enter the facilities of any user for the purpose of the enforcement of this ordinance and Ordinance 1508-88, as amended, and to determine that any wastewater discharge permit or order issued hereunder, is being met and whether the user is complying with all requirements thereof. risers shall allow the Director 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 Director will be permitted to enter without delay for the purposes of performing specific responsibilities. B. The Director 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. 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 Director and shall not be replaced. The costs of clearing such access shall be borne by the user. D. Unreasonable delays in allowing the Director access to the user's premises shall be a violation of this ordinance. 6.2 Monitoring Facilities Each user shall provide and operate at its own expense a monitoring facility to allow inspection, sampling, and flow measurements of each sewer discharge to the City. Each monitoring facility shall be situated on the user's premises, except where such a location would be impractical or cause undue hardship on the user, the City may concur with the facility being constructed in the public street or sidewalk area, providing that the facility is located so that it will not be obstructed by landscaping or parked vehicles. The Director, whenever applicable, may require the construction and maintenance of sampling facilities at other locations (for example, at the end of a manufacturing line, wastewater treatment system). There shall be ample room in or near such sampling facility to allow accurate sampling, flow measurement and preparation of samples for analysis. The facility, sampling, and measuring equipment shall be maintained at all times in a safe and proper operating condition at the expense of the user. All monitoring facilities shall be constructed and maintained in accordance with all applicable local construction standards and specifications. The Director may require the user to install monitoring equipment as necessary. All devices used to measure wastewater flow and quality shall be calibrated to ensure their accuracy. 35
