It shall be the duty of the Administrator of
the sewer districts to enforce the provisions of this Part 1 and such
rules, regulations and specifications which may be promulgated by
the Town Board for the administration, development or construction
of sewers of the sewer districts as required to implement this Part
1.
A.
Subject to the provisions of the Federal and State
Constitutions and other applicable laws, the Administrator or his
authorized representatives, such as the Administrator's deputy, inspector
or, after reasonable notice to the Administrator, authorized employees
of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC)
and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) bearing
proper credentials and identification, shall be permitted, after reasonable
notice to the owner, to enter upon all private properties within the
sewer districts for the purposes of inspection, observation, measurement,
sampling and testing in accordance with the provisions of this Part
1.
B.
If the Administrator determines that an emergency
exists, he shall be permitted to enter upon private properties for
the purpose of inspection, observation, measurement, sampling and
testing without previous notice. The Administrator or his representative
shall have no authority to inquire into any processes used in any
industrial operation beyond that point having a direct bearing on
the kind, source and quantity of discharge to a public sewer receiving
water or the on-site facilities for waste treatment.
It shall be unlawful for any person to discharge
directly or indirectly into public sewers of the sewer districts except
after the issuance of a permit therefor, properly issued by the Administrator
and upon terms and conditions as may be established by the Town Board
or by this Part 1 for the issuance of such a permit.
