18-208 : Regulation of holding tank waste disposal or trucked-in waste.

  1. No person, firm, association or corporation shall haul in or truck in to the WWF any type of domestic, commercial or industrial waste, unless such person, firm, association, or corporation obtains a written approval from the city to perform such acts or services.

    Any person, firm, association, or corporation desiring a permit to perform such services shall file an application on the prescribed form. Upon any such application, said permit shall be issued by the utility director when the conditions of this chapter have been met and providing the utility director is satisfied the applicant has adequate and proper equipment to perform the services contemplated in a safe and competent manner.

  2. Fees. For each permit issued under the provisions of this chapter, the applicant shall agree in writing by the provisions of this section and pay an annual service charge to the city to be set as specified in § 18-207 of this chapter. Any such permit granted shall be for a specified period of time, and shall continue in full force and effect from the time issued until the expiration date, unless sooner revoked, and shall be nontransferable. The number of the permit granted hereunder shall be plainly painted in three inch (3") permanent letters on each side of each motor vehicle used in the conduct of the business permitted hereunder.
  3. Designated disposal locations. The utility director shall designate approved locations for the emptying and cleansing of all equipment used in the performance of the services rendered under the permit herein provided for, and it shall be a violation hereof for any person, firm, association or corporation to empty or clean such equipment at any place other than a place so designated. The utility director may refuse to accept any truckload of waste at his discretion where it appears that the waste could interfere with the operation of the WWF.
  4. Revocation of permit. Failure to comply with all the provisions of the permit or this chapter shall be sufficient cause for the revocation of such permit by the utility director. The possession within the service area by any person of any motor vehicle equipped with a body type and accessories of a nature and design capable of serving a septic tank of wastewater or excreta disposal system cleaning unit shall be prima facie evidence that such person is engaged in the business of cleaning, draining, or flushing septic tanks or other wastewater or excreta disposal systems within the service area of the City of Kingston.
  5. Trucked in waste. This part includes waste from trucks, railcars, barges, etc., or temporally pumped waste, all of which are prohibited without a permit issued by the utility director. This approval may require testing, flow monitoring and record keeping. (modified)
