§ 58-165. Grease removal.

(a)

Grease and oil traps or other interceptors shall be provided at the user's expense, when such user operates an establishment preparing, processing or serving food and/or food products. Grease interceptors may also be required in other industrial or commercial establishments when they are necessary for the proper handling of liquid wastes containing oil and/or grease in amounts in excess of 200 mg/l by weight fat soluble, or for any flammable wastes. All such traps, tanks, chambers or other interceptors shall be of a type and capacity approved by the POTW director and shall be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. All such interceptors shall be serviced and emptied of the waste content as required, but not less often than every 30 days, in order to maintain their minimum design capability to intercept oils and greases from the wastewater discharged to the public sanitary sewer.

(b)

No waste removed from the interceptor shall be reintroduced into the sanitary sewer or back into the interceptor which will cause the interceptor's discharge to exceed limits prescribed in this article. The owner shall be responsible for the sanitary disposal of such waste.

(c)

Written records of trap maintenance shall be maintained by the owner for three years, and the owner shall provide a copy of each maintenance record to the pretreatment inspector within a month of such maintenance.
