(A) The following shall be required of all haulers of septic tank waste, wastewater, and sewage that use the city's wastewater treatment plant facilities:
(1) Haulers shall discharge all sanitary waste at designated wastewater dumping stations located at the wastewater treatment plant and at such times as are established by the wastewater treatment plant superintendent.
(2) Haulers shall have a valid authorization to discharge on file and comply with all applicable state and federal laws and regulations before discharging at the wastewater treatment plant.
(3) Each hauling vehicle shall be equipped to use manholes at the wastewater treatment plant dumping station.
(4) Representative samples of wastewater from each load by the hauler shall be provided to wastewater treatment plant laboratory personnel for analysis prior to discharging waste. All waste shall be compatible to the plant and shall not cause or result in an upset in normal plant operations. Waste shall be considered noncompatible if it violates any prohibited discharges in § 51.006 or if:
(a) It is harmful to the treatment process biology;
(b) It is harmful to equipment;
(c) It presents a potential safety hazard; or
(d) It contains materials not properly treated by the process employed.
(5) Each load delivered to the wastewater dumping station must have a wastewater hauler manifest properly filled out and signed by the hauler.
(6) All procedures for discharging, cleanliness and general sanitary operation on WWTP property as prescribed by the control authority shall be strictly adhered to by all haulers delivering wastes to the WWTP dumping station.
(7) The discharge of hauled industrial wastes and/or wastewater as industrial septage requires prior approval and a wastewater discharge permit from the control authority. The control authority shall have the authority to prohibit the disposal of such wastes, if such disposal would interfere or cause pass through at the wastewater treatment plant or adversely affect the quality of the POTW sludge. Rates for industrial hauled wastes shall be stated in a special agreement with the user.
(8) No wastewater from grease traps shall be discharged at the plant.
(9) No RCRA hazardous wastes shall be discharged at the plant.
(10) In addition to remedies available to the wastewater treatment system set forth elsewhere in the city ordinances, failure of a hauler to comply with the provisions of this section shall be grounds for revocation of any permit issued to the hauler and of access to the wastewater dumping station.
(B) For rates and charges for acceptance of septic tank material see § 51.071.
(C) The Board is hereby authorized to make rules pertaining to the acceptance of hauled waste by the wastewater treatment plant.
