on to the ground if there is no chance of introducing it to a nearby water way/source?
( that means on to the grass for my Southerner friends)

State or county not what you actually do with it.I don’t trust you enough to answer
Should filter the water coming in or going out. Carpet cleaners are banned from most gas station RV dumps because of the lint.Yes, with a minimum of 100 feet from ground water.
Unless you're using a lot of solvents or extreme pH, you could dump in the same place every day. The fish hazards in your tank are suspended particulate and oxygen, which the dirt will filter out.
The ground contamination may be local law its been over ten years since I dealt with that issue. Local code inspector gave me a hard time caught me dumping at home. He flipped out threatening me.Yes, with a minimum of 100 feet from ground water.

Most guys that will report you are fellow carpet carpet cleaners. Had that happen to me once. Dumping in gravel with no drains withing 100 meters. Guy comes storming up to me telling me he's with the iicuc, (long time ago) and he's going to report me. Told him to go ahead along with a few other choice words about where he could put something.# ONE ...reason I never lettered my truck!
One time I did get a particularly nosey basturd eyeballing me....I could tell he was trying to get a look at my license plate..
Sooo.
.I tied two rags over the plate and boogied
On out till I lost him
He pulled up on me jus as I pulled the handle......and it was ......bad!
I always hated the ones that somehow made it to the street...then ran down the road two or three blocks.....ya can't get away quick enough!
LOOK OUT....BAD MAN COMIN THRU.....
Thats the problem. Its psychological people just see it and flip out. Its always been a dirty little secret here. Literally....hahahagood chance is, the county inspector likely didn't have a clue what the regs are.
L.T.A
Just a verbal thrashing. Guy was flipping out about it. Threatening to fine me.so you get a warning?
Jhc.....SteveO...you jus can't get along witJust a verbal thrashing. Guy was flipping out about it. Threatening to fine me.
There are several places here that have caused some serious ground contamination by dumping on their properties.
I never looked up the local law but did go to the city to get permission to dump at the waste treatment facility when I started up. Also looked up state regulations back then.
In this home I installed a clean out next to my driveway where I dump most of the time now.
My new willow trees love it.I don't waste the water on the customer's lawn. My customer base is all close to my house. I usually can come by my house and dump on my lawn. It really helps with the areas that for some reason aren't getting hit by the sprinklers.
I was laughing the whole time each time. It's not my problem it's theirs.Jhc.....SteveO...you jus can't get along wit
Nobody huh....YOU SIR.....need anger management!
20 years ago a cleaner dumped at a vacant lot near his home. A dog walker reported him, and the EPA showed up and did a $50k remediation of the lot. He got to pay for it in addition to fines. He appealed and got to pay more fines. I doubt that would happen today, but they will absolutely hammer you if any waste water goes in the street drains.The ground contamination may be local law its been over ten years since I dealt with that issue.

We had one of those, and I did hose down a tailgater with it. We were coming back from a three truck commercial job and this guy cut off both of my coworkers while moving through traffic, and when he got on my bumper I opened the drain. Coating that red Corvette with a film of creamy brown was pretty satisfying.A long, long time ago I worked for a company that had an old Hydramaster with a split shaft PTO. The dump valve for the waste tank was right next to and slightly behind the driver's seat on the left side. You could easily reach it while driving and more than once was dumped while driving down a dirt road. The actual drain was in-line with the tires, so if someone was following you, they couldn't see the waste water flowing out. They would however get a mess on the front of their car. It was especially nice to do that to tailgaters.
