<br />Existing FSEs are not required to install interceptor unless the FOG <br />Control Program Manager makes a determination that the existing <br />FSE(s) currently are or have the reasonable potential to adversely <br />impact the sewer system by causing or contributing to: (1) FOG hot <br />spots, (2) interference, (3) SSOs, or (4) said FSE is not implementing <br />or complying with BMP's as listed in the Rules and Regulations. <br />Said FSE (s) shall install Grease Interceptors within 180 days after <br />receipt of official notice to install said interceptor unless said FSE <br />obtains a Conditional Waiver as discussed below. <br /> <br />C. Conditional Waiver ("waiver") of Interceptor Requirement <br /> <br />The FOG Control Program Manager may provide a written waiver to <br />the requirement to install a grease interceptor, listing the conditions <br />upon which said waiver is granted, upon a finding of one or more of <br />the following: <br /> <br />(1) The FSE can substantively demonstrate that it employs an <br />alternative pretreatment technology that is equivalent or better than <br />a grease interceptor in controlling its FOG discharge, <br /> <br />(2) The FSE provides evidence through downstream visual <br />monitoring of the sewer system for at least three months, at its own <br />expense, that no visible accumulation of FOG in its lateral and/or <br />tributary downstream sewer lines is occurring. <br /> <br />(3) There is no potential for FOG from the FSEs to cause or <br />contribute to SSOs. <br /> <br />(4) The FSE discharges of FOG are negligible and do not cause <br />a significant impact to the sewer system. <br /> <br />(5) The FSE pays a Grease Cleaning Fee in lieu of installation <br />of a grease interceptor. This cleaning fee can be paid in lieu of <br />installation of a grease interceptor when: (1) installation of an <br />interceptor can not physically be accomplished, (2) there is not <br />adequate slope for gravity flow between kitchen plumbing fixtures <br />and the grease interceptor and/or between the grease interceptor <br />and the private collection lines or the public sewer and (3) no <br />alternative pretreatment can be installed. Further, the FSE must <br />agree to either (a) hire a contractor to clean and inspect the sewer <br />main as established in Rules and Regulations or (b) pay a yearly fee <br />(Grease Cleaning Fee) to the City for the increased cost to clean the <br />sewer mains. The Grease Cleaning Fee shall be established by <br />resolution of the City Council, and shall be based on the estimated <br />annual increased cost of maintaining the sewer system for <br />inspection and removal of FOG and other viscous or solidifying <br /> <br />50A-12 <br />
