What is the Purpose of this Hearing? Provide the public an opportunity to comment on the Midway Service, Inc.’s State of Delaware Non -Hazardous Liquid Waste Transporter Permit amendment.
Who authorizes a State of Delaware Non-Hazardous Liquid Waste Transporter Permit? The State of Delaware’s Non -Hazardous Liquid Waste Transporter Permits are issued by the Groundwater Discharges Section (GWDS) of the Department’s Division of Water, under the authority of 7 DE Admin. Code 7101, Regulations Governing the Design, Installation and Operation of On-Site Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Systems §5.3.32 Transportation of Non-Hazardous Liquid Waste .
What are some regulatory requirements? A transportation permit has regulatory authority over the vehicle transport activities. The transportation permit does not have regulatory authority over facility activities. 5.3.32.1 No person shall haul, convey or transport any non- hazardous liquid waste in any container without a Class F liquid waste haulers license and a Non-Hazardous Liquid Waste Transporters Permit issued by the Department in accordance with 7 Del.C. §6003 (a)(2). 5.3.32.2 In order to obtain a Non-Hazardous Liquid Waste Transporters Permit, the applicant must submit a completed application, demonstrate proof of bonding (see Section 5.3.32.4) and adhere to the transportation requirements (see Section 5.3.32.5).

(Midway) is currently permitted to transport septage, holding tank waste, grease trap waste/cooking oil waste, to be disposed of at the Kent and Sussex County sewer systems.
