a. The department has the right to enter any facility at any time in order to verify compliance with the provisions of this act and the quality of all work performed pursuant to this act except that facility owners or operators shall be under no obligation to employ any personnel solely to assure access to the facility by the department when this access would otherwise be impossible.
