ORDINANCE NO. NS-2670
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AMENDING
CHAPTER 39 OF THE SANTA ANA MUNICIPAL CODE
REGARDING THE PREVENTION OF SANITARY SEWER
OVERFLOWS BY RESTRICTING CERTAIN LIQUID AND
SOLID MATERIALS FROM ENTERING THE SEWER
SYSTEM AND AMENDING SECTION 1-18.2 OF THE CODE
ADDING SECTIONS TO PUBLIC WORKS CODE
ENFORCEMENT
THE CITY COUNCil OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA ORDAINS AS FOllOWS:
SECTION 1: The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and
declares as follows:
A. The 2000-2001 Orange County Grand Jury ("Grand Jury") surveyed 35
wastewater collection and treatment agencies in Orange County to help determine
the cause of sanitary sewer overflows ("SSOs"). As a result of the survey, the Grand
Jury concluded that one of the leading causes of sanitary sewer overflows ("SSOs")
is sewer lines becoming clogged from the accumulation of fats, oils and grease
("FOG") discharged from Food Service Establishments ("FSEs").
B. The Grand Jury further concluded that more effective methods of minimizing
grease discharges into the sewer system must be developed and implemented to
reduce the discharge of FOG to the sewer system in order to prevent sewer
blockages and SSOs.
C. Similar to the Grand Jury findings, the Regional Water Quality Control Board
("RWQCB") also determined that one of the leading causes of SSOs within the
Santa Ana Region is "grease blockages" often caused by the discharge of
wastewater containing high levels of FOG. The RWQCB found that SSOs cause
temporary exceedances of applicable water quality objectives, pose a threat to the
public health, adversely affect aquatic life, and impair the public recreational use and
aesthetic enjoyment of surface waters within the City and the region.
E. As a result, RWQCB enacted Order No. R8-2002-0014 which requires cities to
develop a FOG Control Program to eliminate FOG discharges into the sewer system
to prevent the harmful effects of SSOs before December 30,2004.
F. The RWQCB suggest that Cities effective FOG Control Programs will provide
cities "legal authority" to regulate FOG as well as other harmful substances entering
into the sewer system.
-1-
11 A-1
G. The Public Works Agency is responsible for the enforcement of various sections
of the Santa Ana Municipal Code that relate to discharges into the public water
sewer system as well as provisions related to the public streets and sidewalks.
H. Section 1-18.2 of the Code authorizes the Executive Director of the Public Works
Agency and designees to issue citations for specific violations of the Code. This
section is in need of amendment to grant the Agency the right to enforce these FOG
regulations as well as other provisions of the Code within the purview of the Public
Works Agency.
I. During the June 21, 2004 meeting, the City Council was presented a study
session detailing the new RWQCB requirements.

1. A newly constructed FSE(s) shall install grease interceptors prior to
commencing the discharge of wastewater to the Sewer System.
2. Existing FSEs undergoing Remodeling or a Change In Operations
shall be required to install a grease interceptor prior to commencing the
discharge of wastewater to the Sewer System.
B. Existina FSEs
Existing FSEs are not required to install interceptor unless the FOG
Control Program Manager makes a determination that the existing FSE(s)
currently are or have the reasonable potential to adversely impact the
sewer system by causing or contributing to: (1) FOG hot spots, (2)
interference, (3) SSOs, or (4) said FSE is not implementing or complying
with BMP's as listed in the Rules and Regulations. Said FSE (s) shall
install Grease Interceptors within 180 days after receipt of official notice to
install said interceptor unless said FSE obtains a Conditional Waiver as
discussed below.
C. Conditional Waiver ("waiver") of Interceptor Reauirement
-8-
11A-8
The FOG Control Program Manager may provide a written waiver to the
requirement to install a grease interceptor, listing the conditions upon
which said waiver is granted, upon a finding of one or more of the
following:
(1) The FSE can substantively demonstrate that it employs an
alternative pretreatment technology that is equivalent or better than a
grease interceptor in controlling its FOG discharge,
(2) The FSE provides evidence through downstream visual
monitoring of the sewer system for at least three months, at its own
expense, that no visible accumulation of FOG in its lateral and/or tributary
downstream sewer lines is occurring.
(3) There is no potential for FOG from the FSEs to cause or
contribute to SSOs.
(4) The FSE discharges of FOG are negligible and do not cause a
significant impact to the sewer system.
(5) The FSE pays a Grease Cleaning Fee in lieu of installation of a
grease interceptor. This cleaning fee can be paid in lieu of installation of a
grease interceptor when: (1) installation of an interceptor can not
physically be accomplished, (2) there is not adequate slope for gravity flow
between kitchen plumbing fixtures and the grease interceptor and/or
between the grease interceptor and the private collection lines or the
public sewer and (3) no alternative pretreatment can be installed. Further,
the FSE must agree to either (a) hire a contractor to clean and inspect the
sewer main as established in Rules and Regulations or (b) pay a yearly
fee (Grease Cleaning Fee) to the City for the increased cost to clean the
sewer mains. The Grease Cleaning Fee shall be established by resolution
of the City Council, and shall be based on the estimated annual increased
cost of maintaining the sewer system for inspection and removal of FOG
and other viscous or solidifying agents attributable to the FSE resulting
from the lack of a grease interceptor or grease control device.
(6) The FSE may use or may be required to install grease traps, in
lieu of installation of a grease interceptor when (1) installation of an
interceptor can not physically be accomplished, (2) there is not adequate
slope for gravity flow between kitchen plumbing fixtures and the grease
interceptor and/or between the grease interceptor and the private
collection lines or the public sewer and (3) no alternative pretreatment can
be installed. Sizing and installation of grease traps shall conform to the
current edition of the California Plumbing Code. Grease traps shall be
maintained in efficient operating conditions by periodic removal of their full
content, including sewage, FOG, floating materials, sludge and solids. The
-9-
11A-9
maintenance frequency for all FSEs with grease traps is specified in FOG
Control Program Rules and Regulations.
D. Revocation of Waiver
The Program Manager may revoke a waiver upon a determination of one
or more of the following:
1. Quantity of FOG discharge as measured or as indicated by the size
of FSEs based on seating capacity, number of meals served,
menu, water usage, amount of on-site consumption of prepared
food and other conditions have changed since the granting of said
waiver such that the FSE is contributing to FOG discharges.
2. Adequacy of implementation and compliance with BMPs.
3. Change in sewer size, grade, and condition based on visual
information.
4. Changes in operations that significantly affect FOG discharge.
5. Failure to comply with any of the conditions set forth in the waiver.
6. Any other condition deemed reasonably related to the generation of
FOG discharges by the FOG Control Program Manager.
