Additional Requirements for Long-Term Storage of Sludge or Septage

No person shall store sludge or septage for more than 42 days within any six month period except in compliance with 310 CMR 32.30 and the following additional requirements: (1) Such storage of sludge or septage shall not occur at a site without the prior express written approval of the board of health of the city of town in which that site is located. The previous sentence shall not apply to such storage of sludge at the site of a wastewater treatment facility which generated all of such sludge if such facility has a permit from the Department pursuant to M.G.L. c. 21, § 43. (2) Storage of sludge or septage shall not occur without the Department's prior written approval of the plans for such storage. All such plans shall provide measures for controlling odors. If a storage facility receives or is intended to receive an average of 2,000 gallons or more of septage per day, the plans for such storage facility shall be prepared by a Massachusetts registered professional engineer.
