(1) The purpose of this
subchapter is to provide standards for the licensure of cesspool, septic tank
and privy cleaning businesses and to establish uniform requirements for the
disposal of septage, grease trap waste, privy waste, car wash sump waste, and
other similar wastes. These similar
wastes include, but are not limited to, other primarily liquid wastes such as
food processing wastes, septic tank pumpings that contain commercial and
industrial wastewater, and snow melt sump wastewater, that can be applied to
the land for a beneficial purpose.
Regulated hazardous wastes are not covered under this rule. Rules on the management of hazardous wastes
are found in ARM Title 17, chapter 53.
(2) Wastes must be managed in a manner that is
protective of human health and the environment.
(3) A person may not place wastes on or into
private or public property without the express permission of the land owner,
facility operator, or the designated representative of the owner or
operator.
