§ 27-0915. Inspections and general reporting.
    1.  For  purposes of developing or assisting in the development of any
  regulation or enforcing the provisions of this  title,  any  person  who
  generates, stores, treats, transports, disposes of, or otherwise handles
  hazardous  wastes  shall, upon oral or written request of any officer or
  employee of the department, when properly identified and duly designated
  by the commissioner, furnish or permit such officer or employee  at  all
  reasonable  times to have access to, and to copy all records relating to
  such wastes.  For  the  purposes  of  developing  or  assisting  in  the
  development of any regulation or enforcing the provisions of this title,
  such  officers or employees are authorized after proper notification and
  identification:
    a. To enter at reasonable  times  any  establishment  or  other  place
  maintained  by  any person where hazardous wastes are generated, stored,
  treated, or disposed of;
    b. To inspect and obtain samples from any person of  any  such  wastes
  and samples of any containers or labeling for such wastes.
    Each  such inspection shall be commenced and completed with reasonable
  promptness. If the officer or employee obtains any samples, prior to his
  leaving the premises, he shall give to the owner, operator, or agent  in
  charge  a  receipt  describing  the  sample  obtained and if requested a
  portion of each such sample equal in volume or  weight  to  the  portion
  retained. If any analysis is made of such samples, a copy of the results
  of  such analysis shall be furnished promptly to the owner, operator, or
  agent in charge.
