FOG Control Program Manual • If the FSE does not have a grease interceptor, the FSE will be informed that they have been identified as a significant FOG discharger, that a likely cause is that their BMP practices do not appear to be effective and that more stringent adherence to BMPs is required. Additionally, they will be informed that if their facility is identified as a source of FOG to the City's sewer during any future FOG Source Sewer Line inspections, the FSE's grease interceptor "Conditional Waiver" may be revoked requiring the installation of a grease interceptor. • If the FSE has a grease interceptor, the FSE will be informed that they have been identified as a significant FOG discharger, and that the likely cause is that the maintenance of their grease interceptor has not been effective. The FSE may be required to: 1) pump their grease interceptor on a more frequent basis; 2) conduct a functional integrity test of their grease interceptor; and/or 3) have their kitchen drain lines dye tested to ensure that the appropriate drains are connected to the interceptor. For repeated non-compliance, the enforcement process may involve increased fines and/or termination of the FSE's right to discharge wastewater into the City's sewer collection system. Appendix S, Santa Ana Enforcement/Lateral Evaluation Process Flow, provides an example of the enforcement flow for sewer line non -compliances. 4.9 FSE FOG Program and Data Management The FOG Control Program is managed by the FOG Control Program Manager and the inspection and enforcement activities are conducted by City staff or by outside contractors under his/her supervision. The program is well integrated with the collection system maintenance program, specifically the enhanced maintenance location sewer cleaning and video inspection activities. The FSE data management process consists of: • Database that is utilized to identify the FSEs in the FOG Control Program and the specific details and inspection history of each facility. (Refer to Appendix C for a report of FSEs in the Program) • Composite Map displaying the location of the FSEs (Appendix A) Additionally, the City utilizes their internal Customer Service Records, business licenses, Orange County Health Care Agency's (OCHCA) website, building departments' new construction or tenant improvement reviews for commercial or industrial property, and input from City field personnel to identify new FSEs or modifications to existing FSEs. 19F-202 21
