Septage Treatment, Handling and Disposal Practices in California Survey
A) Introduction
There are approximately 1.2 million onsite wastewater treatment systems in
California. This type of sewage treatment is frequently used in rural and suburban
residential development and can adequately provide water quality and environmental
protection when properly designed, sited, constructed, maintained, and operated.
These systems do require maintenance and one of the required maintenance items is
to remove the scum and solids that accumulate in the primary treatment tank (septic
tank). This material is referred to as domestic septage and is defined as “ …liquid,
solid or semisolid material removed from septic tanks, cesspools, marine sanitation
devices, portable toilets and similar devices that receive domestic waste only
(household, non-commercial, non-industrial sewage).” (USEPA).
The November 1994, State Water Resources Control Board Report of the Technical
Advisory Committee For Onsite Sewage Disposal Systems identified septage disposal
as one of the issues of concern facing California. The report stated, "With ever
increasing dependence on OSDS, there is a corresponding demand for adequate
septage disposal facilities. More and more publicly owned treatment works
(POTWS) are refusing to accept septage, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to
locate and obtain environmental and public approvals for new land disposal septage
sites." This finding has not changed significantly since this report.
The pending statewide onsite wastewater treatment regulations mandated by AB 885
will increase the demand for septage handling, treatment, and disposal facilities due
to the anticipated increased oversight and management of onsite sewage treatment
systems. For this reason, it is important to have an understanding of the current status
of the septage management program in California.
Septage - Definition
In the broadest sense septage is material that has been removed, typically pumped,
from a treatment tank or waste holding tank and hauled to another location for final
disposition or additional treatment. The composition and source of the material
generally dictates how the material must be handled and the treatment and disposal
options that are available. The United States Protection Agency classifies septage
into two broad categories that determines how it can be handled: 1) domestic septage,
and 2) commercial and industrial septage. The factor that differentiates commercial
and industrial septage from domestic septage is not the type of establishment
generating the waste; rather it is the type of waste being produced. For example a
food establishment may have both domestic and commercial septage. The domestic
septage consisting of the sewage produced from the facility and the commercial
septage consisting of the grease trap waste from the grease interceptor. This study is
concerned with domestic septage - the pumped material from onsite wastewater
treatment systems and grease trap waste – a specific form of commercial septage.

Characteristics of Domestic Septage
Domestic septage is the material removed from the primary treatment component or
septic tank in an onsite wastewater treatment system. This primary treatment
component provides detention time for the raw sewage allowing for 1) separation of
solids from liquid, allowing solids to settle into a sludge layer with the tank providing
a place for sludge storage 2) formation and retention of a floating scum layer
consisting of oil, grease, fats and other light materials 3) additional anaerobic
digestion of settled solids, and 4) production of a reasonably clarified effluent that
leaves the tank for additional treatment by the next treatment component.
Domestic septage contains many different substances depending on the type of waste
being treated in the onsite wastewater treatment system. It contains mostly water,
sewage, inorganic materials like grit, and organic fecal matter. Small quantities of
polluting substances that are normal to household activity can also be present.
Laboratory analysis of domestic septage typically shows low levels of heavy metals
and other pollutants.
Several factors can affect the characteristics of domestic septage such as septic tank
size, the time interval between pumping (the tank pump out frequency), and the
characteristics of the wastewater being treated. The typical chemical and physical
characteristics of septage are listed in table A-1.

These characteristics of septage - it is a high strength waste (high BOD5 ); it has high
odor potential; it has vector attractant potential; and, it has a potential impact on
groundwater - requires that it is handled, treated and disposed properly.
Grease Trap Waste
Grease trap waste consists of the fats, oils, grease, grit and other kitchen wastes that
accumulate in a grease trap. The grease trap is a tank that acts as a separator or
interceptor, serving a commercial food facility. Grease traps are used at food
establishments to prevent large amounts of grease from entering the public sewer
system. The purpose of the tank is to separate out these materials so that the materials
do not enter the onsite sewage treatment system or sewage collection system. The
accumulated materials must be removed at some scheduled frequency and hauled to a
treatment or disposal facility. Biological breakdown of grease trap waste can be
difficult and as a result many facilities will not accept this type of waste.

B) Purpose
The purpose of this study is to provide basic information concerning domestic septage
handling, treatment, and disposal practices. Information is not readily available or is
not in a format that provides answers to some fundamental questions. These
questions include; 1) the location of the disposal facilities, 2) the quantities of septage
treated, (3) the types of facilities and treatment and disposal methods used, and 4) the
potential capacity these facilities have for septage treatment. The study also provides
an assessment of the available information sources and what sources should be
developed. The information should give policy and decision makers the basic
information necessary to assess existing resources as well as determining future
needs.
A secondary purpose of the study is to gather information concerning grease trap
waste treatment and disposal. As noted above, grease trap waste is not included in
the general definition of domestic septage but falls under the definition of commercial
septage. Grease trap waste is included in this study since 1) the same companies
often haul both domestic septage and grease trap waste, and 2) these wastes can be
handled at the same types of facilities that treat or dispose of domestic septage.
Septage Treatment and Disposal Options - General
Regulations governing the treatment and disposal of domestic septage depend on the
type of facility receiving the septage. Federal regulations identify four major
treatment options (USEPA, 1993):
Septage Treatment, Handling and Disposal Practices in California

1. Land application is the spreading of domestic septage on land at controlled
rates to fertilize crops and improve the tilth of soils. This domestic septage can
either be sprayed or spread on the soil surface, or plowed, disked, or injected
into the soil. The specific rules governing land application differentiate
between non-public contact sites and public contact sites:
§ Non-public contact sites are defined as sites that are not frequently
visited by the public including agricultural land, forests, and
reclamation sites. The requirements governing land application of
domestic septage to these sites are less burdensome but not less
protective than the other requirements for land application of sewage
sludge in the Part 503 Regulation.
§ Public contact sites are defined as lands with a high potential for
contact by the public such as public parks, ball fields, cemeteries, plant
nurseries, turf farms, and golf courses. Disposal is regulated under 40
CFR Part 503 as sewage sludge at these sites.
2. Septage can be discharged into treatment works (sewage and wastewater
treatment plants) for treatment as follows: Domestic septage to septage-only
treatment works, or both domestic and non-domestic septage to municipal
facilities that normally treat domestic sewage. This discharge is permissible
provided that a treatment facility is available which will accept the septage.
3. Septage can be placed in a landfill or other surface disposal site. Again, the
rules of the landfill operator and applicable State and Federal rules must be
followed.
4. Septage can be incinerated. In this case, the rules of the incinerator operator
and the applicable State and Federal rules must be followed.
Septage Treatment and Disposal Methods - California
There are five primary methods for treatment and disposal of septage practiced in
California. The five methods are consistent with and fit within the four disposal options
identified by EPA. The methods are: 1) land application; 2) co-treatment at a
sewage/wastewater treatment plant; 3) independent septage treatment facilities; 4)
septage ponds with subsequent solids disposal; and 5) disposal at a sanitary landfill.
There are some variations that may combine several treatment options but for
purposes of this report these will not be separated out or quantified. Further
discussion of these options follows.
Land application
Land application is the process of spreading the septage to the land surface.
Typically the operation consists of stabilizing the septage, usually with lime, and then
spreading at agronomic rates. Land application operations must meet certain criteria.
As practiced in California, the operation must:
• not allow public contact
• meet and certify pathogen reduction and vector attraction reduction
• follow prescribed best management practices

•
•
•
utilize site and crop specific nutrient application rates
assure domestic nature of the applied material, and
develop and maintain a record keeping system
The California State Water Resources Control Board defines septage for purposes of
land application as: Waste material removed from a septic tank, cesspool, portable
toilet, Type III marine sanitation device, or similar wastewater handling device that
has not passed through a municipal wastewater treatment facility (State Water
Resources Control Board Water Quality Order No. 2000 - 10 –DWQ). This definition
is consistent with the federal definition for domestic septage. For the purposes of this
General Order septage is not included as a biosolid and as such land application is
directed to non-public contact sites.
Co- treatment
Co-treatment at a sewage/wastewater treatment plant consists of introducing the
septage at a point in the wastewater treatment process. The septage is treated along
with the other sewage flow entering the plant. The septage can be introduced into the
process at several points:
• Upstream location into a manhole (liquid process)
• Septage receiving station (liquid process)
• Addition to digesters (solid process)
Septage can cause treatment process disruptions. Sewage/wastewater treatment
plants with large flows or facilities that carefully meter in the septage can generally
accept septage without disruption to the treatment processes.
Independent treatment facilities
Independent treatment facilities are those designed and operated to specifically handle
septage. There are several proprietary treatment technologies that dewater the
septage by separating the liquid fraction from the solids. These facilities typically
land apply the residual solids or haul the solids to a disposal site (landfill). The solids
can also be utilized at compost facilities. The separated liquids are either treated on
site or hauled to a wastewater treatment plant for disposal.
Septage ponds
Septage ponds are designed and operated to receive septage and can be considered
independent treatment facilities. Most frequently these ponds are designed as
evaporation ponds where the liquid separates and evaporates over time. The solids
remain in the pond and can undergo additional decomposition. The solids
accumulation eventually needs to be removed and either land applied, composted or
disposed in a landfill. The liquid fraction can also be removed for treatment at
another treatment facility and in some cases used for irrigation. Not too long ago
evaporation ponds were much more common than they are today. Concerns over
Septage Treatment, Handling and Disposal Practices in California

water quality and the increased costs associated with building and maintaining ponds
has significantly reduced their use.
Landfill disposal
Septage disposal at sanitary landfills is an option that is rarely used. The high
moisture content of septage as well as concerns with pathogens are the primary
reason that landfilling is infrequently used. However, landfill disposal of dewatered
septage is still practiced.
C) Study Methods
This study was conducted using a survey developed to obtain information from
relevant sources. The sources contacted were:
1. both public and privately owned sewage/wastewater treatment plants
2. the Local Enforcement Agencies for solid waste facilities
3. the local agencies with jurisdiction for the onsite wastewater program
These entities were all mailed survey forms and a cover letter explaining the purpose
of the survey. The recipients were requested to return the forms by mail and were
also given the option to use electronic versions with return by email.
The survey was designed to provide basic information needed to help assess the status
of septage disposal in California. Information requested included location of septage
sites, the current volume of septage being received, the capacity of the facilities to
receive septage, and the fees charged for disposal. Sample survey forms are attached
as Appendix II.
Extensive phone and email follow-up was conducted to obtain the requested
information and to clarify responses. The phone follow-up verified that a number of
wastewater treatment plants that did not return the survey do not receive septage and
therefore did not respond to the mailed survey.
D) Results – Septage treatment & disposal facilities
Completed survey forms were returned from 244 potential treatment and disposal
facilities. The survey identified 94 facilities that treat and/or dispose of septage.
These ninety-four facilities handle more than 230 million gallons of septage and 11.5
million gallons of grease per year. Sewage treatment plants accounted for 84% of
these facilities and more than 90% of the total septage processed.
All of the facilities receiving are listed in Tables D-1 and D-2 that follow.

Septage Treatment, handling and Disposal Practices in California
Sewage Treatment Plants:
Responses were received from 229 of the 320 sewage treatment facilities contacted.
Of the 229 responding, 78 facilities receive septage with 19 receiving grease waste.
One facility accepted grease trap pumping but did not accept septage. The receiving
facilities reported almost 200 million gallons of septage and more than eleven (11)
million gallons of grease received per year.
Nine of the facilities provided septage receiving capacity estimates. The other
responses did not include these projections though several indicated that there has not
been an attempt to determine capacity for septage. As a result, the capacity for a
given facility is noted as the volume reported as received unless the facility noted
otherwise. The capacity based on the responses is 215,767,261 gallons a year.
Disposal fees charge ranged from $.01 to $.246 per gallon. The average charge is
$.064 with the median at $.045.
Supplemental Information:
Facilities were asked to provide answers to a number of additional questions. These
questions are designed to provide additional information concerning the status of
septage disposal. A summary of the responses follows:
1. Fourteen facilities reporting having previously accepted septage but are no
longer doing so.
2. Facilities not accepting septage were asked to indicate the reason. Those
responding to the question, less than ½ of the 151 reporting, indicted the
following reasons (note: the percentage is calculated on all 151 reporting):
• haven’t considered = 6%
• liability = 13%
• no equipment = 20%
• not interested = 31%
• plant design = 18%
3. Of the facilities accepting septage, 90% perform constituent testing of
material received. The frequency of constituents tested for is:
• Heavy metals = 56%
• BOD = 50%
• pH = 56%
• Other = 13%
4. Point of application into the treatment process:
• Liquid process = 87% of the facilities responding
• Solid process = 13% of facilities responding
Survey results for sewage treatment plants accepting septage are in the following
tables. Table D-3 is sorted by county and Table D-4 by RWQCB. Table D-5
contains the supplemental information results. Table D-6 displays reasons given for
not accepting septage and grease.

Independent Septage Receiving Facilities, Land Application, Ponds & Landfills:
Sixteen treatment and/or disposal facilities were identified that are not sewage
treatment plants. They are identified for purposes of this report as independent
receiving facilities and include all land application sites, septage ponds, proprietary
treatment facilities and landfills.
•
•
•
Ten of these facilities use septage ponds. Six of these were located at
landfills. There are four pond disposal facilities separate from
landfills. Of the six ponds at landfill facilities five incorporate the
dried solids into the landfill and one land applies the residual solid.
Two facilities use proprietary dewatering treatment systems.
Six facilities use land application as the final disposal, with four of
these using land application for both treatment and disposal.
These independent receiving facilities reported receiving over 32 million gallons of
septage and over 300,000 gallons of grease a year.
Supplemental Information:
1. Disposal costs at these facilities ranged from $.02 to $.20 per gallon.
2. Four facilities conduct a systematic load-checking program.
The following are summary tables for the independent septage treatment and disposal
facilities.

E) Results - Grease Trap Waste
Twenty-three facilities were identified that accept grease trap waste. More than 97%
of grease trap waste is going to sewage treatment plants.
The average disposal fee charged ranged from a low of $0.02 per gallon to a high of
$0.14 per gallon, with an average of $0.079 and a median of $0.078. This is slightly
more than one cent per gallon higher than fees charged for septage disposal.

F) Results - Local Jurisdictions with Onsite Program Responsibility
Responses were received from 39 of the 64 jurisdictions surveyed. Local agencies
are not required to maintain information on septage receiving facilities within their
jurisdiction and as result the information provided was incomplete. The purpose of
requesting the information was to gather information on sites from as many sources
as possible since there is no central clearing house keeping track of this information.
In two cases, Los Angeles and Orange County, the information on gallons pumped
was reported by the public agency having oversight of the receiving facilities and not
by the local onsite regulatory agency, demonstrating the value of requesting
information from a variety of potential sources
Less than half of the jurisdictions tracked the total volume of septage handled. Most
agencies do have information on the number of pumper vehicles and companies
operating within their jurisdiction. Septage pumpers and haulers are required to
register with the local jurisdiction (Health and Safety Code Section 117400-117450,
text of this section can be found in Appendix I). Agencies reported 785 registered
septage pumpers with 1,699 vehicles. This number does represent some duplication
as the same hauler and vehicle may be registered in more than one jurisdiction. The
local jurisdictions did identify 81 septage treatment and disposal facilities within their
jurisdictions. Several of these proved to be either no longer receiving septage or no
longer in operation.
The following table gives a summary of the results from the 39 agencies responding.
Complete results are in Table F-1

Septage Treatment, handling and Disposal Practices in California
Page 29
G) Discussion
Septage is produced as a result of pumping the primary treatment component (septic
tank) for an onsite wastewater treatment system. There are three primary reasons that
tanks are pumped; 1) normal maintenance by the owner, 2) real estate transaction –
lending institutions often require an inspection of the onsite system and this often
results in pumping the tank as part of this process, and 3) a system malfunction or
failure – often requiring pumping the tank in order to make the repairs. The real
estate transaction often acts as or replaces the normal maintenance needed as the
frequency parallels the property turnover rate (estimated at every five years).
The frequency that tanks need to be pumped under normal maintenance procedures
depends on the size of the tank and the hydraulic and organic load being discharged
into the tank. Under normal use a properly sized tank can be expected to operate
effectively for more than five years without needing pumping (sources – USEPA,
Bounds). Generally speaking the larger the tank the less frequently it needs pumping
service.
The survey results indicate that based on the responses more than 230 million gallons
of septage are being treated and disposed annually in California. The quantity of
septage received by the type of facility is distributed as follows; 84% wastewater
treatment plants, 2% land application, 2% independent treatment facilities
(proprietary systems), and 11% septage ponds.
This quantity of 230 million gallons annually is consistent with the quantity
anticipated. The California wastewater Training and Research Center conducted a
preliminary analysis of the expected septage produced annually in California. The
analysis is based on the following assumptions:
1. 1,200,000 onsite systems in the state
2. 1,200 gallon septic tank
3. ‘Maintenance’ pumping rate:
• Gallons pumped/year assuming a seven year cycle = 205,714,286
• Gallons pumped/year assuming a five year cycle = 288,000,000
4.

System failure rate:
Failure rate = 1% (CWTRC and USEPA, 2000)
Number of repairs = 12,000
1.5 pump event/repair = 18,000 pump events
Septage from repairs = 21,600,000
Septage Treatment, Handling and Disposal Practices in California

Adding the ‘maintenance’ pump rate with the septage from repairs results in either
226,000,000+ gallons or 309,000,000+ gallons. The results from the survey of
230,000,000+ gallons compare reasonably well with these estimates.
Based on this comparison the survey accounted for most of the anticipated septage
production in the state. It is anticipated that septage production will increase for two
primary reasons. The first is that the use of onsite systems for new development will
continue at a rate of about 10% a year of all housing starts. The second is that as the
statewide regulations (AB 885) come into effect local jurisdictions will need to develop
more comprehensive programs. These programs will require more monitoring oversight
of new and existing systems. This will result in educational outreach advising system
owners of maintenance requirements and system upgrades to meet public health and
environmental concerns.
The survey results indicate that most of the septage is treated at publicly owned
sewage/wastewater treatment plants. Also, the facilities accepting septage are generally
the larger municipal, sanitary district or county facilities with large waste flows. This is
expected as these facilities can assimilate the additional organic load by virtue of dilution
without disrupting their treatment processes. It is also evident that some smaller
communities and rural areas do not have treatment facilities in close proximity, requiring
longer hauling distances and increased cost to the consumer. This can be a disincentive
to the proper maintenance of onsite systems.
H) Recommendations
Local government, the Regional Water Quality Control Boards and the State Water
Resources Control Board need to develop strategies to ensure that the septage treatment
and disposal facilities are adequate to meet the demand. This was pointed out in the
Report of the Technical Advisory Committee for Onsite Sewage Disposal Systems,
SWRCB, November 1994. The report made recommendations for specific program
changes that included:
2. Require RWQCBs to work with local agencies to ensure that there are suitable
septage disposal facilities available for existing and proposed OSDS in the
region. Make grants or loan funding available for evaluation and planning of
septage disposal facilities. (page 26)
3. The RWQCBs should work with local agencies to evaluate the availability
and suitability of septage disposal facilities. Where facilities are not adequate
to serve existing and future OSDS, the RWQCBs should establish a timetable
for development of facilities, including the possible prohibition of new OSDS
until adequate septage facilities are assured of being available. The SWRCB
and RWQCBs should ensure that regional POTWs which receive State
funding assistance also provide for septage disposal where such septage
disposal facilities are needed.
These recommendations are relevant to the needs of today. In addition, the study points
out the need to develop a better data collection and tracking system. While the

information obtained by this survey is useful it required considerable time to compile.
This type of fundamental data is necessary for program planning and evaluation.
Determining the infrastructure needs for septage and grease trap waste handling treatment
and disposal is an ongoing process and the data needed for these assessments should be
more readily available. Specifically:
1. Regional Water Quality Control Boards should request and maintain statistical
information from the various treatment facilities as to the quantity of septage
and grease trap waste being processed. As noted in the study nearly 90% of
septage is going to sewage treatment plants and these fall under regional board
jurisdiction. This should be made part of the reporting requirements contained
in the facility permit. The regional boards rather than local jurisdictions
should have this responsibility as they have permitting and oversight
responsibility.
2. Local agencies (local health officer or his/her designee) should track the
activities of the septage tank pumpers as allowed by law. While local
agencies do for the most part register the septic tank pumpers most do not
have a system in place to evaluate the pumping records. The pumping records
can provide a valuable tool in helping local agencies assess the status of onsite
systems.
3. The State Water Resources Control Board, the Regional Water Quality
Control Boards, and local jurisdictions implementing the onsite program
should collaboratively establish a minimum data set that can be used for future
analysis.
Finally, California should consider developing a comprehensive septage management
plan. A number of states, for example North Carolina, have developed a program that
insures facilities are available and that these wastes are managed in a manner that protects
public health and the environment.
