In brief, this facility accepts waste from localized septic haulers who pump out domestic or non-domestic septic tanks by permit only.
Livingston County ordinance prohibits land application of this waste.
Lake Improvement

The Boards oversee the project engineering firm and paying of bills and invoices.
