Vactor Waste Facility Design

[lindbls]

I'm looking for guidance documents/design information on planning, designing and constructing a vactor waste facility (i.e., a facility to dispose of waste removed from stormwater catch basins and lines).

Is there EPA or state agency guidance on this issue? I've looked but come up empty.

I would think that your mix of wastes would most closely resemble Municipal Solid Waste, since it could contain most anything. One caution would be to verify that it is not so contaminated (petroleum, lead, etc.) that it would classify as a hazardous waste. Your state environmental solid waste division (or equal) should be able to help.

Check with the local street dept. They have to get rid of street sweepings. And that is what you have plus some organics.
