§ 30-353. FOG control equipment's (FCE) maintenance.

(a)

All FCEs shall be properly maintained by the user at the user's expense. Maintenance shall include, but is not limited to, the complete removal of all contents, including floating materials, wastewater, and bottom sludge and solids. Decanting or discharging of removed waste back into the FEC from which the waste was removed or any other FEC, for the purpose of reducing the volume to be disposed, is prohibited.

(b)

FCEs must be pumped out completely a minimum of once every 90 days, or more frequently as needed, to prevent carryover of grease into the sanitary sewer collection system. Any request to extend the pumping frequency past 90 days must be done in writing to the director. Approval shall not be granted unless it can be adequately demonstrated to the director that extending the pumping period past 90 days will not adversely affect the municipal sewer system.

(c)

All waste removed from each FCE must be disposed of at a treatment facility designed to receive such wastes. In no way shall the FCE wastes be returned to any private or public portion of the collection system or sewage treatment plants, without written approval from the director.

(d)

Users shall maintain records and documentation indicating adequate operation and maintenance and, upon request of the director, shall supply such record within 24 hours.
