Adopted Ordinance NoQ ~~ r
Discussion ~.
The discharge into the sanitary sewer system of liquid waste collected from
grease traps, septic tanks and grit traps can cause stoppages and serious
maintenance problems in Fort Worth's wastewater collection and treatment
facilities. The discharge of these materials onto property or waterways can
create odor and environmental problems and can expose the public to health
hazards.
In 1984, in response to the problem, documented in a series of television news
stories of liquid waste haulers illegally dumping the waste into sanitary
sewers and open fields, fourteen rnetroplex cities (including Fort Worth, Dallas,
and Arlington) developed a model ordinance to control improper or illegal
disposal of these wastes. Fort Worth was represented by the Water and Health
Departments in the development of the model ordinance. Public hearings were
held at the North Central Texas Council of Governments in conjunction with the
development of the model ordinance.
The proposed- liquid waste ordinance establishes a permit fee for liquid waste
haulers and requires the use of a manifest system that allows the City of Fort
Worth to trace the transport of these wastes from source to disposal or
treatment site. Seven of the original fourteen cities have passed a form of
this proposed ordinance. Current Fort Worth Water Department contracts for
treatment of customer cities' wastewater require the customer cities to adopt a
similar ordinance regulating liquid waste haulers. This ordinance establishes
uniform requirements across municipal boundaries for the transport and disposal
of liquid wastes
The Health Department, with the assistance of the Water Department Industrial
Waste Section, will be responsible for enforcing this ordinance The cost of
the enforcement program for fiscal year 1987-88 is approximately $46,000
