It also <br>includes portable toilets and similar temporary-use units which contain holding <br>tanks; (6) "Person" means any individual, firm, association, organization, partnership, business trust, corporation, company, or governmental unit; (7) "Secretary" means the secretary of the Cabinet for Health and Family Services; <br>(8) "Sewage" means domestic blackwater and greywater wastes, but does not include waste from industrial or commercial processes; (9) "Sewage pretreatment unit" means a watertight sewage treatment structure designed and constructed to receive raw sewage, separate solids from liquids, digest organic <br>matter through a period of retention, and allow clarified effluent to discharge to a <br>subsurface soil absorption system. Pretreatment units fall into three (3) basic <br>categories: <br>(a) Septic tanks, which rely predominantly on anaerobic bacterial action for treatment; (b) Aerobic units, which introduce atmospheric air into the sewage to promote treatment by aerobic bacteria; and (c) Combination units, which provide treatment through both anaerobic and aerobic bacterial action and mechanical filtering, ozonation, or ultraviolet <br>irradiation; (10) "Sewage sludge" means the solid or semisolid residues which are retained within a sewage pretreatment unit or grease trap, as a result of mechanical, hydraulic, <br>biologic, or chemical actions. It also includes raw sewage accepted and stored <br>within a holding tank; (11) "Site" means a facility or parcel of land under the ownership of any person which is intended for use as the ultimate disposal or treatment location for sewage sludge; <br>and (12) "Tank" means any container placed on a vehicle to carry in transport sewage sludge removed from a sewage pretreatment unit, grease trap, or holding tank.
