In January 2005, the City's Public Works Agency began <br />implementation of a comprehensive FOG control program. The new FOG <br />control program includes regular inspections of all food service <br />establishments to insure compliance with the ordinance. The FOG <br />ordinance and program are required by the California Regional Water <br />Quality Control Board. <br /> <br />The City entered an agreement with Environmental Engineering and <br />Contracting, Inc. (EEC) in August, 2003 to perform a FOG study of the <br />sewer collection system and assist with development of the FOG ordinance <br />and control program. EEC completed these tasks and has been assisting <br />with implementation of the FOG control program. EEC has inspected all of <br />the food service establishments at least once and has created a database <br />for continued inspection program tracking. <br /> <br />25C-1 <br />
