What is the required action for septic systems that may include industrial waste?

The correct action for septic systems that may include industrial waste is to refer to the Underground Injection Control Program. This program is specifically designed to regulate and manage the underground injection of fluids, which can include industrial waste. Industrial waste often has specific characteristics and may pose a higher risk to groundwater and the environment, requiring particular oversight and compliance with federal and state regulations.

Engaging with the Underground Injection Control Program ensures that the handling and treatment of hazardous or industrial wastewater are conducted under guidelines that protect public health and the environment. It’s crucial for contractors dealing with septic systems incorporating industrial waste to understand the outlined regulations to avoid potential penalties and environmental damages.

While regular inspections by a technician can be beneficial for routine maintenance, they may not address the unique complexities involved with industrial waste. Contacting the local sanitation department might provide some guidance but does not directly relate to the necessary oversight needed for these specific types of wastes. Installing advanced filtration systems could be a part of improving wastewater treatment but does not encompass the regulatory requirements and oversight needed for septic systems handling industrial waste.
