, - PUBLIC WORKS <br /> CITY OF EVERETT OIL AND GREASE CONTROL <br /> REQUIREMENTS FOR FOOD SERVICES <br /> Do 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 425-257-8810 / <br /> website: www.everettwa.govipermit email:everettepsaneverettwa.gov <br />
