SECTION 3 - GREASE REMOVAL SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS All FSEs and NFDs shall have an adequate grease removal system installed and exercise proper kitchen best management practices to ensure that excess concentrations of FOG are not discharged to the POTW. 3.1 New Construction All new construction FSEs and NFDs shall submit kitchen fixture plan views and kitchen waste plans showing all potential grease discharging lines, all GRSs, and connecting piping to the Director or his designee for approval prior to construction. The plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the approved plans. Failure to submit plans or construct in accordance with approved plans is a violation of this ordinance. A. All new single occupancy Food Service Establishment buildings shall be constructed with properly sized interceptor-style grease removal systems. Where bona-fide space or gradient limitations make the use of an interceptor-style GRS impractical, and with prior approval of the Director, a FSE may install properly sized trap-style GRSs. All kitchen drains and any other drains that may carry grease-laden waste shall be connected to this GRS (except the dishwasher if a trap-style GRS is installed.) If a trap-style GRS is installed, the kitchen may not have a garbage disposaUgarbage grinder/macerator or similar unit installed. B. All new construction multi-tenant buildings (strip centers) shall include a separate waste line for all leasable spaces that discharges to a common 2000 gallon or larger interceptor. This waste line shall be permanently marked to identify it as required by the Director. When a space is leased, sold, or rented to a FSE or NFD, all kitchen drains and any other drains that may carry grease-laden waste shall be connected to this waste line; no domestic sewage may be connected to this line. The property owner shall be responsible for proper maintenance of this interceptor in accordance with the provisions of this ordinance. C. All new single occupancy Non-FSE FOG Discharger buildings shall install a properly sized GRS. Interceptor-style GRSs are recommended, but trap-style GRSs are permissible. All kitchen drains and any other drains that may carry grease-laden waste shall be connected to this GRS (except the dishwasher if a trap-style GRS is installed.) If a trap-style GRS is installed, the kitchen may not have a garbage disposal/garbage grinder/macerator or similar unit installed. D. Any FSE or NFD undertaking a Substantial Remodel, as defined herein, will be considered to be new construction for the purposes of this ordinance. Iu 17
