RSA 485-A:4, XVI-a and DES rules, regulations, standards
and procedures promulgated thereupon require that "any person, firm,
corporation, municipal subdivision or institution who removes, transports,
or disposes, or intends to remove, transport or dispose of any human
excrement or other putrescible material by portable or mobile container
shall hold an unrevoked Septage Hauler permit as described below for
that purpose from the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services
(NHDES)." Therefore, the holding of such a permit shall be a condition
precedent to the privileges to dispose such material at the city's
wastewater treatment facility.
B.
Such permit, as required by RSA 485-A, shall be on
file with the city. Upon renewal or revocation of such permit, the
hauler shall be responsible for notification of such renewal or revocation
to the city.
A.
Such hauler may discharge septage to the facilities provided at the city's wastewater treatment facility and shall pay the charges as set forth in the Code of the City of Lebanon, Chapter 68, Fees.
B.
Those persons, firms, corporations, municipal subdivisions
or institutions that conform to RSA 485-A and the definition of "RVs"
shall dispose of such septage as human excrement or other putrescible
materials at the dates, times and locations designated by the Director
of Public Works.
C.
No person, firm, corporation, municipal subdivision
or institution shall discharge any toxic, poisonous, radioactive solids,
liquids or gases, or the contents of grease, gas, oil and/or sand
interceptors into the city's wastewater treatment plant without specific
authorization of the Director of Public Works.
The Director of Public Works shall have the
right to issue a temporary permit to allow the discharge of septage
at a point of discharge other than the wastewater treatment facility
in a situation where such temporary discharge point is necessary to
protect the health and welfare of the city. The Director of Public
Works shall issue such permit upon such terms and conditions as the
Director of Public Works deems to be in the best interests of the
city. The temporary permit shall not be valid for a period exceeding
12 months. The Director of Public Works shall have the right to revoke
or suspend the temporary permit in the event that the terms and conditions
are not met.
A.
Any person, firm, corporation, municipal subdivision,
institution or hauler who conforms to RSA 485-A and intends to dispose
of septage, human excrement or other putrescible material within the
limits of the city shall first obtain a septage disposal permit from
the city.
C.
The following conditions shall constitute conditions
precedent to the issuance of each permit by the City:
[Amended 12-4-2019 by Ord. No. 2019-14]
(1)
Each septic tank truck shall have installed thereon
a sight level by which the quantity of the contents of each tank may
be ascertained by sight or each septic tank truck shall have an access
port in which the quantity of the contents of each truck may be ascertained
by depth measurements.
(3)
Such log as described in Subsection C(2) above, shall be maintained by the Department of Public Works.
(4)
Owners of RV's who intend to discharge the contents
of holding tanks are exempt from the permitting process.
(5)
The Director of Public Works shall require a certificate
of insurance naming the city as an additional insured with liability
and other coverage as determined by the city.
There shall be a septage disposal charge for septage as established by Code of the City of Lebanon, Chapter 68 (Fees), for the receipt of septage into the city's wastewater treatment facility for treatment prior to discharge into the Connecticut River. In the event that the permittee has either a defective sight level, no sight level attached to the truck and/or no access to the contents of the truck for depth measurement, the permittee shall be charged according to the full tank capacity at the time of discharge or by other method determined by the Director of Public Works.
