Code of White Pine
Title 18 Water and Sewers
Chapter 5 Regulation Of Animal And Vegetable Fat, Oils, And Grease
18-506 : Control of FOG.
- All existing and new FSEs shall effectively control the discharge of FOG into the sanitary sewer system. A Class 1 FSE may do this through the use of restaurant industry best management practices such as those published by the National Restaurant Association. See: http://www.foodserviceresource.com. If best management practices fail to prevent sanitary sewer system interferences, Class 1 FSEs shall install Grease Control Equipment (GCE) as specified in § 18-508, or by the public works supervisor.
-
All new Class 2-5 FSEs shall install grease control equipment in sizes specified in § 18-507 or by the public works supervisor and properly maintain that equipment in such a way to prevent interference with the sanitary sewer system.
c. Existing FSEs that do not meet these minimum sizes may continue to use existing GCE and/or best management practices if the discharge from the FSE is not interfering with the sanitary sewer system and the public works supervisor gives written permission stating that the current GCE and practices are preventing interference with the sanitary sewer system. Upon written notice from the public works supervisor that the existing GCE or BMPs are inadequate to protect the sanitary sewer system from interference, the FSE shall have sixty (60) days to install additional GCE to prevent FOG interference with the sanitary sewer system.
- All FSEs with GCE shall maintain records of cleaning and maintenance of that equipment. Records include at a minimum the date of cleaning or maintenance, company or person conducting the cleaning or maintenance, and the amount of grease and water removed from the equipment. A grease waste hauler completed manifest will meet this requirement.
- Yellow grease such as fryer oil, shall not be discharged into the GCE or into stormwater conveyances. The use of yellow grease recycling containers is encouraged.
- Owners of commercial property will be held responsible for wastewater discharges from FSE leaseholders on their property.
- All FSEs shall provide access to town utility personnel (after proper identification) for the purpose of inspection of GCE, kitchen equipment and practices, and any cleaning and drain remediation products which relate to the wastewater and FOG discharge. (as added by Ord. #3-15, June 2015)
