A. Occupancy Or Use Of Building Without A Compliant SSTS: It is unlawful for any person to maintain, occupy, or use any building intended for habitation to dispose of wastewater in a manner that does not comply with the provisions of this chapter.
B. Sewage Discharge To Ground Surface Or Surface Water: It is unlawful for any person to construct, maintain, or use any wastewater treatment system regulated under this chapter that results in raw or partially treated wastewater seeping to the ground surface or flowing into any surface water. Any surface discharging system must be permitted by the MPCA under the national pollutant discharge elimination system program. (Minnesota rules 7082.0100, subpart 3(H))
C. Sewage Discharge To A Well Or Boring: It is unlawful for any person to discharge raw or treated wastewater into any well or boring as described in Minnesota rules 4725.2050, or any other excavation in the ground that is not in compliance with this chapter.
D. Discharge Of Hazardous Or Deleterious Materials: It is unlawful for any person to discharge into any treatment system regulated under this chapter any hazardous or deleterious material that adversely affects the treatment or dispersal performance of the system or groundwater quality.
E. Limits On Commercial And Industrial Discharge: No animal waste or commercial wastewater or industrial wastewater shall be discharged on the surface or into the subsurface unless the person allowing or causing the discharge first obtains a state disposal system permit from the Minnesota pollution control agency. Such discharges must comply with the terms and requirements of the state disposal system permit in order to continue. A subsurface sewage treatment system that on March 31, 1996, was used for the discharge of animal waste or commercial wastewater or industrial wastewater may continue to be used for such purposes until such system becomes a failed subsurface sewage treatment system or the Minnesota pollution control agency orders discontinuance, whichever occurs first; then, in such case the new installed systems must comply with this chapter.
F. Class V Injection Wells: Class V motor vehicle waste disposal wells and large capacity cesspools are specifically prohibited (see 40 CFR parts 144 and 146). (Ord. 1219, 10-25-2010)
