All persons owning vacuum or "septic tank" pump trucks, or other liquid transport
trucks, who wish to discharge septic tank, portable toilet, seepage pit, interceptor
or cesspool contents, industrial liquid waste or other liquid wastes to the POTW shall
first have a valid vacuum truck discharge permit. All applicants for the vacuum truck
discharge permit shall complete the application form, pay the appropriate permit fee,
receive a copy of this division governing discharge of wastes to sewer and shall agree,
in writing, to abide by this division.
Trucks hauling industrial waste shall discharge only after reporting the source and
composition of the waste to the POTW at the authorized discharge site. The control
authority may deny discharge rights in the event the waste is in violation of the
provisions of this division. Trucks hauling only septic tank, portable toilet, seepage
pit, interceptor or cesspool contents are exempted from the above reporting requirement.
However, discharge of these wastes is also restricted to a site(s) authorized by the
control authority.
Additionally, the septic tank truck hauler must maintain a daily log of operations
which shall include the name, address and telephone number of person(s) requesting
service. The approximate volume of each load is to be logged at the time of service
in this log. At the end of each quarter, (March, June, September and December) copies
of such log are to be forwarded to the control authority.
The septic tank discharge permit fee shall be two thousand dollars ($2,000.00) per
year from date of issuance.
