(a)

Inspections are required under the General Construction Permit, and are necessary for identifying non-stormwater discharges, maintenance needs, and detecting pollutant discharge and erosion problems. Whenever necessary to make an inspection to enforce any of the provisions of this Chapter, or whenever an authorized enforcement official has reasonable cause to believe that there exists in or upon any premises any condition constituting a violation of this Chapter, the enforcement official may enter such premises at all reasonable times to inspect the same or perform any duty imposed upon the officer of this Chapter.

(b)

Any request for entry shall state that the property owner or occupant has the right to refuse entry, and that in the event such entry is refused, inspection may be made upon issuance of a warrant issued by a court of competent jurisdiction.
