(A) Grease, oil, and sand interceptors shall be provided as directed by this subchapter and shall meet the minimum design standards as indicated in the Richmond Utilities Infrastructure Development Manuals, standard drawings, and Kentucky Plumbing Code. The minimum size for a grease trap shall be 1,500 gallons.
(B) A commercial user pollution control device application shall be filed with Richmond Utilities for all new commercial and industrial developments or changes in discharge prior to the commencement of construction. Richmond Utilities shall review each application for a commercial user pollution control device and may provide a variance for installation of any or all of these devices based on the information submitted in the application. The purpose of this requirement is to insure the proper handling of liquid wastes containing floatable grease in excessive amounts, or any flammable wastes, sand, or other harmful ingredients; except that such interceptors shall not be required for private living quarters or dwelling units. All interceptors shall be of a type and capacity approved by Richmond Utilities and shall be located as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. In the mainlining of these interceptors the owner(s) shall be responsible for the proper removal and disposal by appropriate means of the captured material and shall maintain records of the dates, and means of disposal. The city or Richmond Utilities may require reporting of such information for their review. Any removal and hauling of the collected materials not performed by owner must be performed by currently licensed waste disposal firms. Interceptors shall also comply with applicable regulations of the County Health Department.
