Requirement for Septage Discharge Permit and Permit Application and Issuance

(1) No Person who engages in the commercial pumping, transporting, or discharging of Septage shall discharge or cause or allow to be discharged, directly or indirectly, into the Authority Sewerage System any Septage, unless such discharge is made pursuant to a Septage Discharge Permit issued by the Authority to the commercial Septage hauler/discharger. (2) Every Person required to obtain a Septage Discharge Permit pursuant to 360 CMR 10.000 shall complete an application for the permit in the form required by the Authority and shall file the application with the Authority. An application form may be obtained from the Authority. The expense of completing and filing the application, and of the application fee, shall be borne by the applicant. (3) The Authority shall evaluate the adequacy of the information supplied in each Septage Discharge Permit application. If the application contains insufficient, inaccurate, or incomplete information, the Authority may request that additional information be submitted within a specified period, or may take such other action as is authorized by law. If the applicant fails to supply information requested by the Authority, the Authority may deny the permit application. After review of the application and any additional information, the Authority may issue the permit, and may stipulate special conditions and terms for issuance of the permit. (4) Any Person who files an application for a Septage Discharge Permit within 60 days after the effective date of 360 CMR 10.031 may discharge Septage without a permit until the Authority either issues the Person a permit or denies the permit application, so long as such discharge otherwise complies with 360 CMR 10.000.
