Grease, oil, and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in the opinion of the city
codes administrator, they are necessary for the proper handling of liquid wastes containing
floatable grease in excessive amounts, as specified in section 25-120, or any flammable
wastes, sand, or other harmful materials; except that such interceptors shall not
be required for private living quarters or dwelling units. All interceptors shall
be of a type and capacity approved by the code administrator, and shall be located
as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. In the maintaining
of these interceptors the owner shall be responsible for the proper removal and disposal
by appropriate means of the captured material and shall maintain records of the dates,
means, and locations of disposal which are subject to review by the code administrator.
Any removal and hauling of the collected materials not performed by owner personnel
must be performed by currently licensed waste disposal firms. Means and locations
of disposal of collected materials shall be in accordance with all applicable state
and local requirements, and are subject to review and approval by the code administrator.
An effort shall be made by the city to visit restaurants or other businesses that
have grease interceptors to inspect the interceptor devices and provide education
to the owners in regard to their use and maintenance.
