This sets forth uniform requirements for users of the City of Clinton Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) to capture and dispose of fats, oils and grease (FOG) and enables the city to comply with all applicable state and federal laws, including the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C., §§ 1251 et seq.; and the General Pretreatment Regulations, Title 40 C.F.R. Part 403. The objectives of this subchapter are:
(A) To prevent the introduction of FOG into the Publicly Owned Treatment Works that will interfere with its operation;
(B) To prevent the introduction of FOG into the Publicly Owned Treatment Works that could pass through the Publicly Owned Treatment Works, inadequately treated, into receiving waters, or otherwise be incompatible with the Publicly Owned Treatment Works;
(C) To prevent sanitary sewer overflow (SSO), where sewer water flows out of a manhole cover and along the ground. These overflows can then contaminate the ground, local water bodies and any property that the sewerage comes into contact with.
(D) To promote the reuse and recycling of waste grease (FOG) from the Publicly Owned Treatment Works;
(E) To enable the city to comply with federal, state and local pollutant discharge limits.
