| Description: |
A disposal system must operate under an individual Water Pollution Control Facilities (WPCF) permit if it disposes of wastes and wastewater onto or beneath the ground surface with no direct discharge to surface waters. Sources not eligible for a general permit must apply for an individual permit. Examples of systems that require WPCF permits include: land irrigation systems, evapotranspiration lagoons, industrial seepage pits, on-site sewage disposal systems designed for wastewater flows greater than 2,500 gallons per day, or systems with lower design flows identified in OAR 340-071, and some types of underground injection systems.
