BGKY C21 21.2.04.i Failure to fulfill discharge monitoring requirements Public Infrastructure, Rights-of-Way and Stormwater / Stormwater Quality / Illicit Discharge; Applicability; Responsibility

Code Description:
This Section applies to all facilities that have stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity, including construction activity. 1. The City shall be permitted to enter and inspect facilities subject to regulation under this Section as often as may be necessary to determine compliance with this Section. If a discharger has security measures in force that require proper identification and clearance before entry into its premises, the discharger shall make the necessary arrangements to allow immediate access to representatives of the City. 2. Facility operators shall allow the City immediate access to all parts of the premises for the purposes of inspection, sampling, examination and copying of records that must be kept under the conditions of an NPDES permit to discharge stormwater, and the performance of any additional duties as defined by state and federal law. 3. The City shall have the right to install on any permitted facility such devices as are necessary in the opinion of the Public Works Director or designee to conduct monitoring and/or sampling of the facility's discharge. 4. The City shall have the right to require the discharger 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 discharger at its own expense. All devices used to measure flow and quality shall be calibrated to ensure their accuracy. 5. 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 operator at the written or oral request of City and shall not be replaced. The costs of clearing such access shall be borne by the operator. 6. Any interference with allowing the City access to a permitted facility is a violation of this Section. A person who is the operator of a facility with a NPDES permit to discharge stormwater associated with industrial activity commits a violation if the person denies the City reasonable access to the permitted facility for the purpose of conducting any activity authorized or required by this Section. 7. If the City has been refused access to any part of the premises from which stormwater is discharged and is able to demonstrate probable cause to believe that there may be a violation of this Section, or that there is a need to inspect and/or sample as part of a routine inspection and sampling program designed to verify compliance with this Section, or any order issued hereunder to protect the overall public health, safety and welfare of the community, the City may seek all appropriate remedies from any court of competent jurisdiction, including the issuance of a search warrant.
