FOG Control Program Manual factors are then developed to define each enhanced maintenance location. Visual inspections, utilizing CCTV, of the enhanced maintenance location and the sewer pipe upstream of the enhanced maintenance location is conducted: to confirm known or to identify unknown problems in the sanitary sewer system; and to identify the potential sources of FOG. This information is critical to the FOG Control Program to enable identification and implementation of the appropriate mitigation solutions. The potential solutions include the evaluation of structural issues that impact enhanced maintenance locations. The resolution of the structural issue is evaluated to determine if repair may minimize grease accumulation and potentially resolve the enhanced maintenance location. Additionally, the laterals (and associated discharger[s]) identified as potential sources of FOG during these CCTV inspections will be documented and the information will be provided to the FOG Control Program Manager for appropriate source reduction and enforcement activities (refer to Sections 4.7 and 4.8). Ultimately, this information will help to guide the focus of the FOG Control Program to those enhanced maintenance locations that present the greatest potential for SSOs. 3.5 Enhanced Maintenance Location Data Management Sewer line enhanced maintenance location cleaning is the responsibility of the Water Maintenance Supervisor and the data management is the responsibility of the FOG Control Program Manager. The enhanced maintenance location data management process consists of: • The identification and documentation of enhanced maintenance locations, and employee access to the locations through the City's computerized maintenance management software. (Refer to the Appendix B for an example Enhanced Maintenance Location Report) • Digital Composite Map displaying the location of the enhanced maintenance locations (Refer to Appendix A for an example section of the Map) 4.0 FSE FOG CONTROL PROGRAM 4.1 Legal Authority In 2017, the City adopted, Ordinance No. NS-2921 which updates Article III, Chapter 39, Section 39-56 of the City's Municipal Code, as well as Grease Control Regulations adopted by the City Council, to specify appropriate FOG discharge requirements for food service establishments (FSEs) to prevent blockages of sewer lines resulting from discharges of FOG. The discharge requirement prohibits FSEs from "the discharge into the sewer system of FOG that may accumulate and/or cause or contribute to blockages in the sewer system or at the sewer system lateral."
