Commercial Wastes—that are domestic in nature

Pre-approval IS NOT REQUIRED

To protect the environment, our treatment plant and the quality of the valuable resources leaving our treatment plant King County is now requiring that businesses, commercial facilities, and industries sending septage to the county's facility have approval to do so.

However, businesses that do not need an approval number are places where the only wastewater from the facility is from restrooms or kitchens. These types of businesses can be pumped and discharged at South Treatment Plant without having to contact King County Industrial Waste for an approval number.

You must record the business name, address, phone number, business type, and estimated volume pumped on the King County Hauled Waste Certification form. Write NA under approval number heading.
