' The GIS and database integration also provides customized tools that enable queries of the copious amount of FSE data for data analysis and reporting. For example, an inspector or ' manager can find a sanitary sewer overflow or enhanced. maintenance locations in the GI5 and readily identify the associated FSEs. Hyperlink tools in the GiS are provided to quickly query the FSE database to return pertinent information related to FSE inspection histories, site pictures ' and inspection reports. While the focus of this scope of work will be on FOG Program Management, EEC understands that FOG is not the only reason for sanitary sewer overflows (SSO} and that a thorough understanding of the sewer system is critical when reducing SSOs. EEC's experience in sewer line characterization activities has provided a keen understanding of how hydraulic defects in the ' sewer, such as offset joints, roots, and sags can impact the ability of a sewer to transport grease within the sewer system. Through utilization of GIS and FSE databases, EEC will provide simple and efficient management solutions for organizing, managing and coordinating all sewer ' line enhanced maintenance locations related with FSE enforcement activities. 1.4 TASK 4 -TRAINING CITY STAFF ~ ' EEC will continue to provide the City with FSE inspection process training. EEC developed and currently conducts California's only Grease Interceptor Inspector Training Workshop for the California Water Environment Association (formerly conducted for Ca1FOG). To date, seven workshops have been conducted and over 400 inspectors have been trained by EEC. EEC recently provided specialized training for 40 City of San Jose inspectors and has provided tratntng for several of the City of Santa Ana staff. 4.0 EVALUATION OF FOG ELIMINATING PRODUCTS EEC conducted atwo- base stud the lar F p y, Best OG Control study in the country, on behalf of Orange ' County Sanitation District and 26 other cities and wastewater agencies in Orange County, including the City of Santa Ana. During the second phase (Phase II) of this study, EEC field-tested new FOG Control Technologies such as Additives (both chemical and ' biological}, Grease Removal Devices, and Interceptor Monitoring Devices. The study provided detailed results of the field-testing and provided testing, - ' monitoring, and agency approval procedures for these technologies. EEC shazes the City's openness for consideration of emerging technologies and alternatives for ' FOG control provided their effectiveness can be demonstrated without negative impacts to the collection system or treatment facilities. While many products offer claims, the available data is often insuff cient to support the claims. EEC has provided product evaluation services and ' developed testing protocols for multiple products for multiple clients, including the City of Santa Ana (McDonalds/Wa1Mart). 1 ' City of Santa Ana -FOG Program Management Proposal 6 r~C 25H-20
