(a) Cleaning/Pumping. The user at the user's expense shall maintain all grease traps to assure proper operation and efficiency and maintain compliance with the City's Pass Through Limits. Maintenance of grease trap shall include the complete removal of all content, including floating materials, wastewater, and bottom sludge and solids. This work shall be performed by a qualified and licensed hauler. Decanting or discharging of removed waste back into the trap from which it was removed or any other grease trap, for the purpose of reducing the volume to be disposed, is prohibited. This service shall also include a thorough inspection of the trap and its components. Any needed repairs shall be noted. Repairs shall be made at the user's expense.
(b) Cleaning/Pumping Frequency. The grease trap must be pumped out completely a minimum of once every four months, or more frequently, as determined by the SWWTP, as needed to prevent carry over of grease into the sanitary sewer system.
(c) Disposal. All waste removed from each grease trap must be disposed of at a facility approved to receive such waste in accordance with the provisions of this program. In no way shall the pumpage be returned to any private or public portion of the city's sanitary sewer collection system. All pumpage from grease traps must be tracked by a manifest, which confirms pumping, hauling, and disposal of waste. The customer must obtain and retain a copy of the original manifest from the hauler.
(d) Maintenance Log. A grease trap cleaning/maintenance log indicating each pumping for the previous 24 months shall be maintained by each Food Service Facility. This log shall include the date, time, amount pumped, hauler, and disposal site and shall be kept in a conspicuous location of inspection. Said log shall be made available to the SWWTP or his representative upon request.
(e) Submittal of Records. Each user shall submit all cleaning and maintenance records to the SWWTP. The maintenance records shall include the following information:
(1) Facility name, address, contact person, and telephone number.
(2) Company name, address, telephone number, and contact name of person responsible for performing the maintenance, cleaning, pumping, or repair of grease trap.
(3) Types of maintenance performed.
(4) Dates maintenance was performed.
(5) Date of next scheduled maintenance.
(6) Copies of manifests.
The user shall be required to submit maintenance records to the SWWTP on a biannual basis (twice per year). Records shall be submitted by March 1 of each year for the six-month period ending January 1 of that same year and by September 1 of each year for the six- month period ending July 31 of that same year. The records shall be submitted to the City of Summersville, Attn: Wastewater Treatment Plant Superintendent, 221 Canvas-Nettie Road, Summersville, WV 26651
The SWWTP will perform periodic inspections of these facilities and shall notify the user of any additional required maintenance or repairs. Upon written notification by the SWWTP, the user shall be required to perform the maintenance and records of said maintenance within 14 calendar days. Upon inspection by the SWWTP, the user may be required to install, at his own expense, additional controls to provide a complete system which prevents discharges of undesirable materials into the wastewater collection system.
