§ 28-187. Disposal facilities and methods.

(a)

After septage is removed from an on-site waste disposal system, the original lid of the tank shall be put back in place, or be replaced with a new lid if the original lid is broken. The tank lid shall be completely sealed and the ground backfilled, compacted and disinfected so that the site is left in a nuisance-free condition.

Septage and sludge shall be transported to the disposal site in such a manner so as to preclude leakage, spillage or the creation of a sanitary nuisance. In the event a nuisance injurious to health or causing environmental damage is created, the permit holder is responsible for and must disinfect the contaminated area and immediately notify the county health unit.

(c)

Disposal sites and vehicles for septage and sludge Classes I and II shall be inspected and approved by the Hernando County Public Health Unit and shall comply with Part IV of Chapter 17-7, Florida Administrative Code.
