(f) Where preliminary treatment or flow-equalizing facilities are provi8ed for any waters or wastes, they shall be maintained continu- ously in satisfactory and effective operation by the owner at his expense to the approval of the Service Director. (g) Each person discharging industrial wastes into a public sewer shall construct and maintain one or more control manholes or access points to facilitate observation, measurement and sampling of his wastes, including domestic sewage. Control manholes or access facilities shall be locatec3 and built in a manner acceptable to the Service Director. If ineasuring devices are to be permanently installed they shall be of a type acceptable to the Service Director. Control manholes, access facilities and related equipment shall be installed by the person discharging the waste, at his expense, and shall be maintained by him so as to be in safe condition, accessible and in proper operating condition at all times. Plans for the installation of the control manholes or access facilities and related equipment shall be approved by the City Engineer prior to the beginning of construction. (h) All measurements, tests and analyses of the characteristics of waters and wastes to which reference is made in this Chapter shall be determined in accordance with "Standard Methods" (82) and in accordance with 40 CFR 136 entitled "Guidelines Establishing Test Procedures for Analysis of Pollutants," and shall be determined at the control manhole provided or upon suitable samples taken at such control manhole. In the event that no special manhole has been required, the control manhole shall be considerd to be the nearest downstream manhole in the public sewer to the point at which the building sewer is connectec3. Sampling shall be carried out by customarily accepted methods to reflect the effect of constituents upon the sewage works and to determine the existence of hazards to life, limb and property. The particular analysis involved will determine whether a twenty-four hour composite of all outfalls of a premise is appropriate or whether a grab sample or samples should be taken. Normally, but not always, BOD and Suspended Solicis (TSS) analyses are obtained from twenty-four hour composites of all outfalls, whereas pHs are determined from periodic grab samples. (i) No statement contained in this section shall be construed as preventing any special agreement or arrangement between the City and any industrial concern whereby an industrial waste of unusual strength or character may be accepted by the City for treatment, subject to payment therefor by the industrial concern in proportion to cost and consistent with the user charge system in Chapter 915 of the Codified Ord inances. -25-
