PUBLIC • O!!K5 • <br />CITY OF EVERETT OIL AND GREASE CONTROL <br />REQUIREMENTS FOR FOOD SERVICES <br />®o I need a grease trap or interceptor?. <br />Everett's Grease Control Ordinance (No. 3071-08) requires that all <br />food services must have some type of grease removal system. <br />*Please contact Industrial Pre-treatment inspectors for <br />requirements and approval of your grease removal system. <br />(425) 257-8240 <br />1) Submit kitchen plans showing all of the fixtures and the grease waste piping <br />with pipe sizes and grease trap or interceptor sizing. <br />Fixtures required to drain through a grease removal system are; dishwashing <br />pre -rinse, three compartment sinks (wash/rinse compartments), meat prep <br />sinks, wok ranges, and mop sinks. Fixtures not required to drain through a trap or <br />interceptor are; hand wash sinks, sanitizing sink compartments, vegetable only prep sinks, <br />raised floor drains and inaccessible (existing in -floor) mop sinks. <br />2) once the grease trap/interceptor is approved, IPT will notify the permit office <br />for issuance of your plumbing permit. <br />Grease Removal Systems must meet the following basic criteria: <br />✓ Comply with the above ordinance and the Uniform Plumbing Code currently adopted by <br />City of Everett Engineering and Public Services. <br />✓ In -ground interceptor required if installing a dishwasher (new construction). <br />✓ Dishwashers must not be connected to grease traps (tenant improvements). <br />✓ If using a food waste grinder/disposal, a solids interceptor and larger (minimum 1500 gal) <br />in -ground grease interceptor are required. <br />Fats Oils and Grease (FOG) lead to clogged drains and side sewers, and impact the costs of <br />maintaining City sewer systems. They can also create public and environmental health issues that <br />may result in fines and penalties for the utility. When traced to a user's sewer connection, business <br />owners may be held responsible for the costs of sewer maintenance, repairs, or compliance <br />actions. <br />APPLICABLE CODES AND REFERENCES <br />• City of Everett Grease Control Ordinance #3071-08 <br />• Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC), 2015 Edition, §10; WAC 51-56 <br />CITY OF EVERETT PERMIT SERVICES 3200 CEDAR ST, EVERETT, WA 98201 425-257-8890 <br />website: www.everettwa.gov/permit email: everetteps(d)everettwa aov <br />
