The vacuum system collects all the waste water in a tank either in the wash van or in a separate vac-tank truck. The wash vans carry 150 gallons of waste water and the vac-tanks carry 500 gallons. Tank vehicles have a separate vacuum system to add to the effectiveness of the system, they are capable of recovery on their own. All waste tanks are sealed and locked to prevent spilling or unauthorized dumping. Only supervisors and operations managers have the keys to these tanks. Supervisors operate the tank vehicles and collect the waste water from different sites in addition to inspecting the work quality. Supervisors are held personally responsible for unauthorized releases of waste water.
Certain states require Solid Waste Transport Licenses on all vehicles carrying waste water. The fees for these licenses vary, but they average around $300 annually per truck. Transport vehicles are licensed in order for the government agencies to track waste streams. Volumes and dates are submitted annually to notify the authorities of the transportation and finally the elimination of all waste. Disposal sites are named on these reports.
The cost of transportation is greatly reduced since the wash vehicle is also the transport vehicle. This vehicle has to return to our facility at days end and then the waste water is dumped and treated for elimination.
