(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 can be required in other industrial or commercial establishments when there are necessary in the opinion of the POTW Superintendent for proper handling of liquid wastes containing oil and\or grease in the amounts in excess of 100 mg/l by weight, fat soluble, or for any flammable wastes. All such traps, tanks, chambers, or other interceptors shall be of type and capacity approved by the Superintendent or his or her designee and shall be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. All such interceptors shall be serviced and emptied of waste content as required for their efficient operation, but not less often than every 30 days, in order to maintain their minimum design capability to intercept oils and greases from the wastewater discharge to the publicly owned sanitary sewer. Failure to comply can result in the implementation of enforcement procedures.
(B) Wastes removed from grease interceptors shall not be discharged into the publicly owned sanitary sewer system. The owner shall be responsible for the sanitary disposal of such wastes.
(C) (1) A facility must keep interceptor cleaning records on file for a minimum of three years.
(2) The following information must be maintained:
(a) Receipt for job performed, signed by contractor, and cost;
(b) Clean out date;
(c) Person responsible for cleaning;
(d) Name of firm performing the clean out; and
(e) Disposal method for and destination of material removed.
