§ 1001-11. Collection of Information Related to Air Pollution Problems.

The city manager, or his or her designee, including the Hamilton County Department of Environmental Services ("HCDES"), may, upon determining that there is reasonable cause to believe that an air pollution violation as defined by this chapter exists in an area or areas of the city or the city as a whole, collect information relating to any such air pollution violation, by requiring of person(s) suspected responsible for the air pollution, the submission of available information which may assist in the identification and abatement of any such problem or nuisance. Before requiring the submission of information from persons suspected to be responsible for sources of air pollution, the city manager, or his or her designee, including HCDES, shall first consider:

(a)

The ready availability of information elsewhere;

(b)

The economic consequences of the request to the person or persons from whom the information is sought; and

(c)

The benefits to the community for obtaining the information and fulfilling the objectives of this chapter.

All persons requested to provide information by the city manager, or his or her designee, including HCDES, hereunder shall do so within the time period specified in any such request.
