§ 303.22. Requirements for scheduled maintenance of pollutant interceptors and grease traps.

1.

Except as is otherwise provided herein, all pollutant interceptors and grease traps required by this chapter shall be cleaned at least every six (6) months.

2.

If the director of environmental health determines that flows and grease generated by an establishment as calculated in accordance with Exhibits "B" and "C" hereof, indicate that more frequent cleaning is necessary to prevent possible malfunction, the environmental health director may require that any pollutant interceptor or grease trap regulated by this chapter be cleaned more frequently than every six (6) months. Cleaning shall be required often enough to preclude the reduction of capacity of grease traps and pollutant interceptors below two hundred twenty-five (225) gallons. Such requirements shall be provided in writing to the owner or operator of the establishment. The utility servicing the establishment shall have the right to require the establishment to clean the unit as frequently as necessary if it is determined that grease generated from the establishment is being detrimental to the utility's sewer and/or treatment system.

3.

If the environmental health director determines that maintenance records kept pertaining to an establishment over a two-year period demonstrate that cleaning of a pollutant interceptor or grease trap less frequently than every six (6) months would be sufficient, the environmental health director may allow less frequent cleaning.

4.

The owner or operator of each establishment regulated by this ordinance shall maintain a regular maintenance schedule which complies with the above requirements. This schedule shall be available for review on the establishment premises at all times.

The schedule shall be verified any time a pollutant interceptor or grease trap is serviced by keeping a copy of the invoice for the provisions of those services on site with the schedule. The copy shall contain as a minimum the following:

a.

The name of the originator.

b.

Disposal destination.

c.

Amount of grease or pollutant removed.

d.

Hauler's name, address, and telephone number.

e.

Amount charges for the cleaning.

5.

Grease and/or pollutants shall be removed only by approved haulers and disposed of at a location authorized by the county and the health department.
