The deal is that wash debris coming off a vehicle is off site discharge, because the debris is not from the property where the washing is happening. That is the concern. When you start getting into Big Trucks, there is a lot of grease and debris from what could potentially be all over the country that is being deposited on one site. It is a sticky situation, and I am not sure that a charity car wash qualifies as a non commercial enterprise. Does that mean that I think that they should not be allowed? Not in the least. The debris stream, particularly from a car wash, is so minimal, that I think the greater good is met by allowing them.
Just to clarify, I never said the law exempts charity carwashes, only that the federal Epa exempts residential car washing, and the official who said the same rules apply to residential is either referring to more stringent local laws, doesn't know what she is talking about, or is deliberately lying. I don't know which.
