Users subject to reporting requirements of this Ordinance shall retain the below records for all monitoring required by this Ordinance and for any additional monitoring which could be used to satisfy minimum monitoring requirements. Users must make these records available for inspection and copying at the location of the discharge. Users must similarly maintain documentation associated with any Best Management Practices required under authority of Section 14.10.080(I). Monitoring records shall include at least:
A. The time, date, and place of sampling;
B. The sampling and preservation methods used;
C. The person taking the sample, and persons with control of the sample prior to analysis;
D. The person performing the analyses and the date the analysis was completed;
E. The analytical techniques or methods used; and
F. The results of analysis.
Users are encouraged to retain quality control and quality assurance information provided by the laboratory and submit this information in routine reporting. This information also has value in the event that the sample data is called into question. For analytes for which Washington State requires use of a certified/accredited laboratory, Users must maintain the scope of accreditation for laboratories performing any analyses for them.
Users shall maintain the above records for at least three (3) years, until any litigation concerning the User or the City is complete, or for longer periods when the User has been specifically notified of a longer retention period by the Director. (Ord. M-3970 §2, 2010)
