§ 34-191. Monitoring.

(a)

Nondomestic users shall provide and maintain in a safe and proper condition, at their own expense, facilities to allow the authorized representatives of the control authority, EPA or the state to inspect, sample or measure flows from wastewater subject to the provisions of this division at a location specified or approved by the control authority.

(b)

There shall be ample room in or near facilities to allow accurate sampling and preparation of samples for analysis.

(c)

If locating such facilities on a user's property would be impractical, the user may apply to the township for a right-of-way or for permission to construct such facilities on public property.

(d)

The control authority may require a suitable control manhole located on the nondomestic user's premises, which shall be installed on the building sewer when deemed necessary by the control authority. When such a location would be impractical or cause undue hardship on the user, the township may allow such facility to be constructed in the public right-of-way, with the approval of the public agency having jurisdiction over such right-of-way, and located so that it will not be obstructed by public utilities, landscaping or parked vehicles. The control manhole shall be installed by the owner at his expense, and shall be maintained by him to be safe and accessible at all times. Whether constructed on public or private property, the control manhole shall be constructed in accordance with the control authority's requirements and all applicable construction standards and specifications. When more than one user can discharge into a common sewer, the control authority may require installation of separate monitoring equipment and a control manhole for each user. When there is a significant difference in wastewater constituents and characteristics produced by different operations of a single user, the control authority may require that separate monitoring facilities be installed for each separate discharge.
