MIL-HDBK-1138
b)
Surface Disposal. When solids are placed on a
surface disposal site, both the person preparing the solids and
the owner/operator of the surface disposal site must keep
records. In the case of domestic septage applied to agricultural
land, forest, or a reclamation site or placed on a surface
disposal site, the person applying the domestic septage and the
owner/operator of the surface disposal site may be subject to
pathogen-related recordkeeping requirements, depending on which
vector attraction reduction option was used.
c)
Certification Statement. In every case,
recordkeeping involves signing a certification statement that the
requirement has been met. Parts 503.17 and 503.37 of the
regulation contain the required certification language.
2.4.3.9
Reporting Requirements for Sewage Solids [503.18
and 503.28]. Reporting requirements for these solids are found
in Part 503.18 for land application and Part 503.28 for surface
disposal. These requirements apply to Class I solids management
facilities and to publicly owned treatment works and FOTWs with a
design flow rate equal to or greater than 1 mgd and/or that serve
10,000 or more people. These facilities must submit to the
permitting authority the records they are required to keep as
"preparers" of biosolids and/or as the owner/operators of surface
disposal sites on February 19 of each year. There are no
reporting requirements associated with the use or disposal of
domestic septage.
2.4.3.10
Permits and Direct Enforceability [503.3]
a)
Permits. Under Part 503.3(a), the requirements in
Part 503 may be implemented through: (1) permits issued to
treatment works treating domestic sewage by EPA or by states with
an EPA-approved solids management program, and (2) by permits
issued under Subtitle C of the Solid Waste Disposal Act; Part C
of the Safe Drinking Water Act; the Marine Protection, Research,
and Sanctuaries Act of 1972; or the Clean Air Act. Treatment
works treating domestic sewage should submit a permit application
to the approved state program, or, if there is no such program,
to the EPA Regional Sludge Coordinator.
b)
Direct Enforceability. Under Part 503.3(b), the
requirements of Part 503 automatically apply and are directly
enforceable even when no permit has been issued.
