DISCUSSION
The California Regional Water Quality Control Board has adopted General
Waste Discharge Requirements for sewage colle.ction agencies in Orange
County. A major component of this program is a comprehensive fats, oils
and grease (FOG) source control program to reduce the amounts of these
substances discharged to the sewer collection system. The City is
required to develop and implement a FOG source control program by
December 30, 2004.
On August 4, 2003, the City Council approved an agreement with
Environmental Engineering and Contracting, Inc. (EEC) to perform a FOG
characterization study. This study involved the inspection of
approximately 500 of the 730 food service establishments (FSE's) in the
City to determine the causes of grease accumulation in the sewer
collection system. To date, approximately 375 FSE's have been inspected
with completion scheduled for June 2004. Data gathered from these
inspections also will be used to develop an effective grease control
program.
. Prior to implementation of a FOG source control program, the City must
.uPdate the municipal code to provide the necessary legal authority. The
legal authority must be adopted by July 30, 2004.
