provisions of this chapter, the

inspections of all noise sources and to take measurements and tests whenever necessary to
determine the quantity and character of noise. If any person refuses or restricts entry and

his authorized representatives may seek from the Vernal City justice court a warrant for
inspection requiring that such person permit entry and free access without interference,
restriction or obstruction, at a reasonable time, for the purpose of inspecting, testing or
measuring noise. The Vernal City justice court shall have power, jurisdiction and
authority to enforce all orders issued under the provisions of this chapter.
B. No person shall hinder, obstruct, delay, resist, prevent
in any way, interfere, or
attempt to interfere with any authorized person while in the performance of their duties
