FOG Control Program Manual and outside the GRDs to control the wastewater flow in order to match the certified flow rate of the GRID. 4.4.4.2 Maintenance Requirements In order to function properly, GRDs may require quarterly, monthly, weekly and sometimes, even daily maintenance. The solids basket must be emptied daily and the solids must be disposed of with the trash. The FOG waste container, which collects the skimmed oils, must be emptied into a larger FOG waste container for proper disposal or recycling. Because many GRDs have heaters and skimmers and other critical mechanical equipment, they must be maintained by the FSE and cleaned or replaced, as needed. The entire device should be emptied and cleaned thoroughly at least once every 90 days to remove the silt and sediments which can accumulate within the device. 4.5 Waste Hauling Requirements Proper disposal of waste grease collected either from interceptors or through kitchen practices is essential to a successful FOG control program. To ensure that FSEs properly dispose of their waste FOG and that haulers and disposal/recycling sites are properly operated, the City requires that all hauler documentation be completed and that the hauler provide the FSE a copy prior to departing the FSE. The FSE is required to maintain copies of the hauling documentation. The minimum information requirements to be documented on the hauler's record are (Refer to Appendix O for copy of the City's Waste Hauling Documentation requirements) (Refer to Appendix P for a list of certified grease waste hauling companies): • Name of hauling company • Name and signature of operator performing the pumpout • Documentation of full pumpout with volume of water and FOG removed (e.g., 1500 gallons) • Documentation of the level of floating FOG and Settled Solids (to determine if volume exceeds 25%capacity of the grease removal equipment) • Documentation if repairs to the grease interceptor are required • Identification of the facility where the hauler is planning to dispose of the waste 4.6 FSE Education The City has developed FSE FOG Control educational material for the FSEs. The initial education to the FSEs was through FOG Characterization Study inspections conducted in 2003 and 2004 and continue via mailings and ongoing inspection activities. In this process, FSEs are provided the General Requirements, a Kitchen BMP Poster, Record Keeping Logs and other Educational Material. This information, in addition to a digital training video, are also available to FSEs by downloading it from the City's website www.santa-ana.org. Refer to Appendix Q for examples of Kitchen BMP Signage, Record 19F-198 17
