What is Trucked Liquid Waste?
Many industrial, commercial and institutional operations produce liquid waste that is not suitable for discharge to the sanitary sewer or storm water system. These wastes are generated at operations such as: • Restaurants (grease interceptors) • Car washes (vehicle wash interceptors) • Automotive repair shops (oil water separators) • Parking lots (catch basins / stormwater rehabilitation units) • Dry cleaners (PERC from dry cleaning machines) • Photo processors (fixer) • Laboratories (various chemicals) These by-products are considered to be high-strength liquid wastes or obstructive wastes and it is therefore illegal to discharge these wastes to the sanitary sewer system or the storm drain system. Proper disposal of these wastes requires a licensed hauler to pick up the waste, and transport it to a proper disposal facility. Trucked liquid waste is one component of the Core Area Liquid Waste Management Plan. The Trucked Liquid Waste designation does not include septage or hauled domest
