SARI Indirect Discharges

Santa Ana Regional Interceptor (SARI) indirect discharges are generators of waste that qualify for discharge to the SARI system but are not close enough for a direct connection or that generate a limited amount of flow and find that it is more cost effective to truck haul the discharge to a SARI truck collection station. The truck collection station is conveniently located near major transportation corridors in the western Inland Empire area.

How to become an indirect generator

Complete the Indirect Connection Permit Application. The application asks you to describe the type and quality of waste you desire to discharge, wastewater pretreatment (if any), type of process that is generating the industrial waste flow, location of business, amount of flow, etc.

If the waste flow can be accepted, you will be issued a SARI discharge permit. The permit includes terms and conditions related to discharging to the SARI system. Included in the permit are sampling requirements that stipulate what flow constituents you are to test and the frequency of testing and reporting.

You will be asked to submit periodic certified laboratory analysis of waste samples as specified in your permit. Western will also spot-check samples for discharge compliance at any time.
