<div class="chunk-content">
            <p class="p0">
               The county may inspect the facilities of any user to ascertain compliance with this
               article and the terms of the user's permit. Users shall allow the county, approval
               authority, and EPA or their representative ready access at all reasonable times to
               all parts of the premises, related to wastewater discharge, for the purposes of inspection,
               sampling, records examination and copying or in the performance of any of their duties.
               Ready access shall include all provisions of an approved access SOP. The county, approval
               authority and EPA shall have the right to set up on the user's property such devices
               as are necessary to conduct sampling, inspection, compliance monitoring and/or metering
               operations. Where a user has security measures in force which would require proper
               identification and clearance before entry into their premises, the user shall make
               necessary arrangements with their security guards so that upon presentation of suitable
               identification, personnel from the county, approval authority and EPA will be permitted
               to enter, without delay, for the purposes of performing their specific responsibilities.
               Denial of the control authority, approval authority's or EPA's access, while in conformance
               with the access SOP, to the user's premises shall be a violation of this article.
               Delays that are significantly longer than outlined in the access SOP may constitute
               denial of access. In the event a user, for purposes of safety or security, needs to
               impose special requirements for access to its facility, the user shall submit an access
               SOP. The access SOP shall contain all accompaniment requirements, time constraints,
               orders, contacts, procedures and safety requirements that the county inspectors may
               need to gain access to the facility.
