§ 50-102. Inspections.

(a)

The city manager or his designee, bearing proper credentials and identification, may enter and inspect all properties for regular inspections, periodic investigations, monitoring, observation measurement, enforcement, sampling and testing, to effectuate the provisions of this article and the SWMP programs.

(b)

Upon refusal by any property owner to permit an inspector to enter or continue an inspection, the inspector shall terminate the inspection or confine the inspection to areas concerning which no objection is raised.

(c)

In the event that the city manager or his designee reasonably believes that discharges from the property into the City of Anderson MS4 may cause an imminent and substantial threat to human health or the environment, the inspection may take place at any time and without notice to the owner of the property or a representative on site. The inspector shall present proper credentials upon reasonable request by the owner or representative.

(d)

Inspection reports should be maintained in a permanent file located in the public works department's office or storage facility or such other location as may be determined and directed by the city manager.
