  • 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.
