Any subsequent changes in the pretreatment facilities or operation procedures shall be submitted to and be approved by the Superintendent before the changes are made.

All interceptors or traps shall be of a type and capacity approved by the Board and shall be so located as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. They shall be constructed of impervious materials capable of withstanding abrupt and extreme changes in temperatures and shall be of substantial construction, gastight, watertight and equipped with easily removable covers. Where installed, all grease, oil and sand interceptors or traps shall be maintained by the owner, at his or her expense, in continuously efficient operation at all tunes.
