§ 18-110. Access for measurements.

(a)

All industrial users shall construct, at their own expense, a control manhole on the waste line from their industrial and process operations in order to observe, measure and sample the industrial waste that is being discharged. The control manhole shall be constructed downstream from any pretreatment facilities, holding tanks or other approved works, and before the point of discharge. The control manhole shall be designed and located in accordance with requirements established by the director. The significant industrial user shall maintain the control manhole in a safe, accessible and proper operating condition at all times.

(b)

The director may require any other industrial user to construct and maintain a control manhole when the director determines that the industrial user may be in violation of this article.

(c)

The director may waive the control manhole requirement if the significant industrial user provides the director with access to the facilities to observe, measure and sample the wastewater flow and the waste that is discharged by the significant industrial user complies with this article.

(d)

The director shall be given reasonable access to all portions of establishments that discharge industrial waste or pollutants into the sanitary sewer system in order to inspect, sample and monitor discharge; to copy records that are required by this article; and to perform other procedures that are necessary to ensure compliance with this article.
