The Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Rio Grande Valley (RGV) Border Patrol Sector has a requirement for the removal and disposal of sludge waste from grit traps and sewage septic systems at various Border Patrol Stations in the south Texas area. Sludge wastes can contain sediment and chemicals which make it a special waste, which requires special handling to protect human health and the environment. In order to ensure proper disposal of all waste from the areas in which the Border Patrol performs car washing and has small septic systems, services are required to pump, remove and dispose of all grit trap and septic toilet sludge waste at various Border Patrol Stations and Checkpoints throughout the Rio Grande Valley Border Patrol Sector. Locations are outlined herein. Grit trap waste at the various locations is the solid, liquid, or semisolid material that accumulates in the traps after washing vehicles. This includes substantial mud and dirt due to the number of vehicles that are traveling on unimproved roads. The collection and disposal of waste is to be performed in a manner to which complies with local, state and federal regulations for pumping and transporting sludge wastes and oil/water separating.
