Oregon Statutes - Chapter 454 - Sewage Treatment and Disposal Systems - Section 454.615 - Standards for sewage disposal systems and disposal facilities.

The Environmental Quality Commission shall by September 1, 1975, adopt by rule standards which:

(1) Prescribe minimum requirements for the design and construction of subsurface sewage disposal systems, alternative sewage disposal systems and nonwater-carried sewage disposal facilities or parts thereof including grading, excavating and earth-moving work connected therewith, and allow for use of alternative systems and component materials consistent with the minimum requirements. Requirements prescribed under this section may vary in different areas or regions of the state.

(2) Prescribe minimum requirements for the operation and maintenance of subsurface sewage disposal systems, alternative sewage disposal systems and nonwater-carried sewage disposal facilities or parts thereof.

(3) Prescribe requirements for the pumping out or cleaning of subsurface sewage disposal systems, alternative sewage disposal systems and nonwater-carried sewage disposal facilities or parts thereof, for the disposal of material derived from such pumping out or cleaning, for sewage pumping equipment, for sewage tank trucks and for the identification of sewage tank trucks and workers.

(4) Prescribe requirements for handling kitchen, bath and laundry wastes as opposed to human and animal wastes which recognize the possibility for separate treatment of different types of waste. [1973 c.835 §209; 1975 c.167 §2]
