What exactly is that stuff?

HUBBARD — A city truck stop allows customers to dump their recreational-vehicle waste storage tanks into the sewer system, but city officials want to know exactly what’s being dumped.

They also question why no sewage fees are being paid on the dumped material.

Flying J Truck Stop on state Route 62 has dozens of parking spaces for truckers to park and relax, gas pumps for cars and large trucks, a restaurant inside and a place in the parking lot where recreational vehicles can unload waste.

Councilman Bill Williams said an agreement was put in place when the business opened to monitor what is dumped into the sewer system at the site.

Williams said the business should be providing regular reports to the city on what is going into the system. He said he is unsure if there was a written agreement or a gentlemen’s agreement on monitoring the site — something the law director has been asked to check into.

A man who said he is the manager at Flying J said today that the business had no comment.

Williams said the business has not kept its end of the agreement. Members of council and city administration, in a meeting Tuesday, said the city has received no report in the last couple of years.

Williams said city officials are planning to meet with the business to discuss the matter.
