Sec. 650.65  Minor industrial and municipal operations.

    Wastewater discharge from minor industrial and municipal facilities 
such as wash racks, engine steam cleaning operations, water treatment 
plant backwash, swimming pool filter backwash, and other similar 
activities will be connected to the sanitary sewer wherever feasible. It 
should be noted that effluent from these activities not connected to 
sanitary sewers requires an NPDES discharge permit. To eliminate costly 
and difficult treatment and monitoring programs all possible efforts 
should be directed to connecting with the sanitary lines. At remote 
locations, a holding tank may be used which is sized to hold all 
drainage between pumpouts. After pumpout, the wastewater will be 
transported to another location for treatment and disposal. Other 
alternatives include onsite treatment which would require a discharge 
permit, or a closed cycle system which would treat and re-use the 
wastewater. In the latter case, if there were no discharges, a permit 
would not be required.
