(A) If the town of Index has reasonable doubt that an operation or use can be conducted within the limits of the stated performance standards, it may require the proposed or existing user (at the user’s expense) to retain an independent qualified expert or laboratory to determine its compliance with the standards and make the results known to the town.
(B) If the user does not provide the required analysis within thirty (30) days of the request, the town of Index shall initiate such an investigation and bill all expenses to the site user (or potential user). (Ord. 370 § 5 (part), 2004).
