UPW shal1 have the administrative authority to enforce this program. Whenever UPW finds that any user has violated or is violating this program, or any prohibition, limitation, or requirements contained herein, UPW will initiate corrective action, which may include but be limited to the following:
(a) Notice of Violation. UPW may issue any user a written notice stating the nature of violation. Within fifteen (15) days of the date of notice, a plan for the satisfactory correction thereof shall be submitted to UPW by the user.
(b) Consent Order. UPW may enter into consent orders, assurances of voluntary compliance, or other similar documents establishing an agreement with the user responsible for noncompliance. Such orders will include specific action to be taken by the user to correct the noncompliance with a time period specified by the order.
(c) Administrative Order. When UPW finds that a user has violated or continues to violate the provisions set forth in this program, or the order issued thereunder, UPW may issue an order for compliance to the user responsible for the discharge. Orders may contain any requirements as might be reasonable, necessary, and appropriate to address the noncompliance, including but not be limited to the installation of pretreatment technology, additional self-monitoring, and management practices.
(d) Emergency Suspension of Services. UPW may suspend water or sewer service when such suspension is necessary, in the opinion of UPW, in order to stop an actual or threatened discharge which:
(1) Presents or may present an imminent or substantial endangerment to the health or welfare of persons or the environment;
(2) Causes stoppages, sanitary sewer overflows, or excessive maintenance to be performed to prevent stoppages in the sanitary sewer collection system;
(3) Causes interference to the POTW; or
(4) Causes UPW to violate any condition of its NPDES permits.
Any person notified of a suspension of the water or sewer service shall immediately stop or eliminate the discharge. In the event of a failure of the person to comply voluntarily with the suspension order, UPW shall take such steps as deemed necessary, including immediate termination of water or sewer service, to prevent or minimize damage to the POTW system or sewer connection or endangerment to any individuals. UPW shall reinstate the water or sewer service when such conditions causing the suspension have been eliminated and the reconnection fee paid. A detailed written statement submitted by the user describing the causes of the harmful discharge and the measure(s) taken to prevent any future occurrence shall be submitted to UPW within fifteen (15) days of the date of occurrence.
(e) Administrative Penalty. Notwithstanding any other remedies or procedures available to UPW, any user who is found to have violated any provision of this program, or any order issued hereunder, may be assessed an administrative penalty of not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000) per violation. Each day on which noncompliance shall occur or continue shall be deemed a separate and distinct violation. Such assessment may be added to the user's next scheduled sewer service charge and UPW shal1 have such other collection remedies as are available by law.
(f) Request for Hearing and Appeal. Any person affected by a penalty, order, or directive of UPW issued pursuant to this program may, within ten (10) days of the issuance of such penalty, order, or directive, request a hearing in writing before UPW to show cause why such should be modified or made to not apply to such person. The requested hearing shall be held as soon as practical after receiving the request, at which time the person affected shall have an opportunity to be heard. At the conclusion of the hearing, UPW shall issue a written response to the person requesting the hearing affirming, modifying, or rescinding the penalty, order, or directive at issue.

Recommended Grease Interceptor Sizing
Formula Based on EPA-2 Model
Note: If no cooking/frying occurs and FSF engages in food prep only then use adequately sized 20, 30, 40 pound grease trap, based on flow per current adopted plumbing code.
Restaurant kitchen sink | 15 gpm |
Single compartment sink | 20 gpm |
Double compartment sink | 25 gpm |
2, single compartment sinks | 25 gpm |
2, double compartment sinks | 35 gpm |
Triple sink, 1-1/2 or 2 in. drain | 35 gpm |
Trash can washing station | 35 gpm |
30 gal. Dishwasher | 15 gpm |
50 gal. Dishwasher | 25 gpm |
50-100 gal. Dishwasher | 40 gpm |
Garbage disposal | 40 gpm |
Totals:
**Note** Calculate average flow rate per fixture
A. Average Flow rate gpm / Number of fixtures = gpm
Restaurant Type and Sizing Factors:
Fast food (no dishes) = .50
Dine-in (0-100 seats) = .50
Dine-in (>100 seats) = .60
Cafeteria-Buffet = .75
Food Production = .85
B. Subtotal = A x Sizing Factor, gpm x Factor = gpm
C. Subtotal = B x 60 min. = avg. flow for 1 hour = x 60 = gph
D. Total = C x 2 hrs. retention time = trap volume = x 2 = gal
