A valid sanitary disposal contractor's license is required to engage in the
pumping or cleaning of a private sewage treatment system or transport sewage to a
disposal site. Employees of a validly licensed sanitary disposal
contractor are not required to be separately licensed. The license shall
also designate the vehicles to be used by the licensee.
Licenses expire on December 31 of each year and must be renewed annually on or before
January 15 of any following year. Applications will be kept on file by the
JCED. All required license fees are due at the time of application for the license or
renewal. No fee shall be prorated or refunded for any partial term or part-year application.
Licensed sanitary disposal contractors must comply the following performance requirements:
- When cleaning a septic tank, a licensed contractor must remove the liquid, sludge and scum, leaving no more than three inches
depth of sewage.
- All equipment must be maintained so as to ensure that
no spillage of sewage will occur during transportation, and that his
employees are not subjected to undue health hazards. All sewage must
be transported in an enclosed tank.
- Sewage must be transported only in vehicles approved
for that purpose by JCED. Each vehicle must be inspected prior to
issuance or renewal of a license to a sanitary disposal contractor.
The vehicle must be kept in good working condition and both the name of the
licensee and the sanitary disposal contractor license number are to be
clearly displayed on both sides of the vehicle in bold letters not less than
five inches in height.
- Disposal of collected sewage may only take place at a
site designated by JCED. A report stating the dates, sources, volume,
and disposal site of each load or partial load of sewage or waste
transported during the preceding calendar month must be submitted to the
JCED Director, or her designee, not later than the 10th day of each month
. This report must be on a form furnished by JCED. It must contain
the signature of the person submitting the report and must bear the
signature(s) of the responsible person operating the disposal site for each
load or partial load received at the site from the contractor.
- Prior to the issuance or renewal of a license the
applicant will be required to demonstrate adequate knowledge of the
regulations pertaining to sanitary disposal contractors. The
administrating authority may consider prior conduct of the applicant in
localities not subject to the Johnson County Environmental Sanitary Code in
the granting or renewal of a license as well as any prior violations to the
Code.
- The license holder must comply with any applicable
federal, state, and local regulations or law including, but not limited to,
those set forth now or hereafter adopted in Standards for the Use or
Disposal of Sewage Sludge, volume 58, number 32, page 9388, of the Federal
Register, February 19, 1993, as amended.
A license may be revoked for failure to comply with the
Johnson County Environmental Sanitary Code.
