Prior to the adoption of 2003 (14-48(c)) on 03/10/2003, Section 14-48 read as follows.
(a) The city council may require a formal permit for the discharge of scavenger wastes after submission of an application on forms supplied by the city. Scavenger wastes shall mean putrid or offensive matter, the contents of all privies, septic tanks and cesspools. All other materials and substances, chemicals or chemical compounds and industrial wastes will not be permitted to be discharged into the public sewerage system except as otherwise provided in this chapter.
(b) The discharge of the wastes described in this section shall be made only at a location in the sewage treatment plant as shall be designated by the director.
(c) Scavenger wastes will be admitted into the sewage system only by permit and subject to payment of a fee of thirty dollars per each scavenger waste load discharged.
(d) The applicant shall be the owner of the vehicle discharging the wastes. Any false, misleading or untruthful statements as to the nature of the material shall be cause for rejection of any further discharge from the applicant.
(e) Discharge of scavenger wastes may also be suspended or terminated at any time by the superintendent for willful, continued or persistent violations of these rules and regulations.
(f) All equipment, such as trucks, tanks, pumps, and hoses used in the collection and transportation of scavenger wastes shall be modern equipment in good repair. When more than one (1) vehicle is used by an applicant, each vehicle shall bear an identifying number.
(g) All applicants for a permit shall furnish the following information with each application:
(1) Name and address of applicant;
(2) Volume of scavenger waste for each numbered vehicle; and
(3) Number of scavenger vehicles in collection service.
(h) The superintendent shall require haulers of industrial waste to obtain wastewater discharge permits. The superintendent may require generators of hauled industrial waste to obtain wastewater discharge permits. The superintendent also may prohibit the disposal of hauled industrial waste. The discharge of hauled industrial waste is subject to all other requirements of this chapter.
(i) Industrial waste haulers may discharge loads only at locations designated by the superintendent. No load may be discharged without prior consent of the superintendent. The superintendent may collect samples of each hauled load to ensure compliance with applicable standards. The superintendent may require the industrial waste hauler to provide a waste analysis of any load prior to discharge.
(j) Industrial waste haulers must provide a waste-tracking form for every load. This form shall include, at a minimum, the name and address of the industrial waste hauler, permit number, truck identification, names and addresses of sources of waste, and volume and characteristics of waste. The form shall identify the type of industry, known or suspected waste constituents, and whether any wastes are RCRA hazardous wastes.
