This chapter applies to the treatment in a wastewater treatment facility of certain liquidnonhazardous transported wastes from septic tanks, cesspools, holding tanks, commercial and industrial processes and similar sources having characteristics substantially different from the normal influent to that facility.
These rules do not apply to the treatment of transported wastes having similar or compatible chemical composition and strength to the influent typically received by a particular treatment facility. Sanitary holding tank wastes to which no chemicals in quantities potentially harmful to the treatment facility or receiving water have been added are considered similar to the influent of a domestic wastewater treatment facility. These rules do not apply to facilities licensed pursuant to the Department'sSeptage Management Rules, 06-096 CMR Chapter 420.
NOTE: In addition to this Chapter, certain publicly owned treatment facilities and certain industrial waste sources are subject to industrial pretreatment rules, the Pretreatment Program, 06-096 CMR 528, that regulate the treatment of non-domestic wastes, including transported wastes as defined herein.
