More info   for WP 91, 92: Permit for Industrial Sewer User

Holding tanks, mobile tanks and containers are commonly used by commercial, industrial, institutional and municipal facilities - particularly in areas not served by sewers - to store wastewater for off-site disposal, recycling or treatment. Depending on storage vessel functions, wastewater characteristics and facility locations, these tanks and containers may be subject to different federal and state regulations.

All owners and operators of industrial wastewater holding tanks (IWHTs), mobile tanks and containers used exclusively to accumulate or store non-hazardous, non-sanitary wastewater are required to comply with the provisions of 314 CMR 18.00, the Industrial Wastewater Holding Tanks regulation. The regulation applies only to facilities that store non-hazardous, non-sanitary wastewater in IWHTs, mobile tanks or containers and intend to truck it directly off-site for disposal, recycling or treatment. The rule establishes specific construction and operation standards, record-keeping requirements and decommissioning procedures for these industrial wastewater storage vessels.

The regulation does not apply to tanks and containers that are used for:

  • Sanitary wastewater storage regulated under 310 CMR 15.00 (Title 5)
  • Production processes and wastewater treatment systems
  • Non-contact cooling water or heating or cooling condensate storage
  • Waste site cleanup projects regulated under 310 CMR 40.0000
  • Hazardous waste storage regulated under 310 CMR 30.000
  • Facilities regulated under the MassDEP Environmental Results Program (dry cleaners, photo processors and printers)
