(a)

Restricted. It shall be unlawful to empty, dump, throw or otherwise discharge into any manhole, catch-basin or other opening into city water pollution control facilities, or any sewer connected with and discharging into the collection facilities, the contents of any septic tank or chemical toilet, sludge, wastewater or other similar matter or material, except as provided in subparagraph (b) of this section.

Authority of commissioner. The commissioner is hereby authorized to grant permits to discharge the contents of septic tanks or chemical toilets at locations specified by him/her and under his/her supervision, provided that such permits shall be limited to the discharge of domestic wastewaters. The permits may be revoked at any time if, in his/her opinion, continued discharge of that matter will be injurious to water pollution control facilities, or if any provisions of ordinances regulating such discharges are violated by the permittee. Permits shall include provisions, standards, and requirements to be met by the discharger. A current Fulton County Health Department Permit must be presented with the permit application.

(c)

Fees. The fee for discharges authorized under subparagraph (b) hereof shall be determined annually by the commissioner based on the current costs for treatment of the discharges. The schedule of fees for the discharges shall be filed with the municipal clerk by the commissioner annually.
