Only liquid wastes generated within the city or within 100 miles of the city’s corporate limits will be accepted at the wastewater treatment works unless otherwise approved by the Common Council.

A. Manifest requirements.

1. All liquid waste haulers shall complete a hauled waste manifest for each liquid waste system that is pumped.

2. The liquid waste generator must certify by signature that no known hazardous materials or wastewaters prohibited from discharge are contained in the liquid wastes pumped from their system. The liquid waste hauler shall certify that the liquid wastes disposed at the wastewater treatment works are only those wastes certified by the generator.

3. The top copy of each hauled waste manifest shall be collected at the city’s water reclamation facility each time liquid waste is deposited there. The liquid waste hauler shall retain the middle copy of each invoice for a period of at least 3 years. The bottom copy of the hauled waste manifest shall be given to the liquid waste generator following each pumping of a system.

4. Liquid waste manifest forms shall be as provided by the Public Works Director.

B. Disposal procedures.

1. No person shall dispose of liquid waste at the wastewater treatment works without first obtaining permission from the Public Works Director or designee. Permission to dispose of liquid waste will not be granted until a complete hauled waste manifest from each generator of liquid waste being disposed is provided to the Director or designee.

2. When the hauler combines liquid wastes from more than 1 generator, the liquid waste hauler shall collect separate representative samples from each generator and shall deliver all such samples with manifests to the Superintendent at the time of disposal.

3. No person shall dispose of liquid waste at the wastewater treatment works except in the presence of an authorized designee of the Public Works Director.

4. The Public Works Director or designee may refuse to accept any liquid waste which, in his or her judgment, may cause interference or pass-through, or may contain hazardous materials or wastewaters prohibited from discharge.

5. Samples of each load disposed at the wastewater treatment works will be collected by the Public Works Director or designee.

6. Liquid wastes may be disposed only during regular business hours of the wastewater treatment works. The Public Works Director or designee may accept liquid wastes during nonworking hours upon receipt of additional fees as he or she may establish.

7. Any costs incurred by the city as a result of a liquid waste hauler’s spillage or damage to the wastewater treatment works facilities shall be reimbursed by the person or company holding the liquid waste haulage owner’s permit. Use of the disposal facilities at the wastewater treatment works will be denied to the haulers until all such costs have been paid.
