The Ohio Sewage Treatment System Rules require septage haulers to register in every county they work in on an annual basis. These rules define a septage hauler as “any person who engages in the collection, transportation, disposal, and/or land application of domestic septage.”
Along with registering as a hauler, each pumping vehicle must also be permitted. Details related to the registration process and other requirements can be found in Section 3701-29-03 of the Ohio Sewage Treatment System Rules.
