(A) This chapter is written in order to comply with state requirements for system-wide collection system permitting (15A NCAC 2T .0400; especially .0403); and in accordance with the town's deemed system-wide permit # WQSD0013. State requirements have stemmed from federal regulations for pretreatment (such as 40 CFR 403).
(B) This chapter is intended to aid in the prevention of sanitary sewer blockages and obstructions caused by the introduction, discharge and contribution of fats, oils, greases, grease complexes, scum, sludge and other organic polar compounds into the town's wastewater collection system or the downstream publicly owned treatment works by certain grease-producing commercial, industrial, institutional and other non-residential activities. This chapter is written in addition to any/all plumbing requirements as required by North Carolina Building Code (especially Vol. II, Ch. 10). In the event of any discrepancy in this chapter and North Carolina Building Code, the more stringent criteria shall apply.
