Any person discharging septage from a commercial vehicle to the city wastewater system without a license or permit shall, upon conviction, be fined not less than $500.00 plus costs incurred by the city as a result of disrupting the normal operations of the treatment facility. Septage haulers who discharge illegally shall be subject to the penalties and the remedies for illegal discharge available to the city pursuant to SCC 13.45.010. Each discharge from a noncommercial vehicle or facility into a city facility or other facility not designated for such disposal shall be considered a nuisance. A separate discharge shall be held to occur each calendar day in case of a continuous release, or upon each discharge from a separate vehicle, or upon a discharge stopping for one minute or more and restarting. In case one or more measures of discharge may apply the city may use, to the degree it may demonstrate, the one or combinations of measures that result in the greatest number of discharges.
