pumping Rappahannock septage and taking it outside the county. He said he did not know if the sewer plants receiving the septage knew it came from Rappahannock County.
The Rappahannock News has been able to find only one hauler who says he can pump Rappahannock septage. Ken Worley of Tri-County Septic in Amissville says he can pump septage in Rappahannock. He won’t say where he takes it except to say it is a “federal dump.”
Other haulers say they have been put out of business or have had to severely cut back on their business because of the new law. Most sewer treatment plants will only accept septage from their immediate area.
Plant operators say the plants are not designed to accept the concentrated contaminants in septage.
Some are planning to expand the plants to accept septage, but the costs of such changes range from $250,000 to $750,000.
