No. 2065, § 2, 8-16-93) VII-1.4 Grease Removal Device Installation Requirements Section 9.40B, of the Redwood City Municipal Code adopts by reference the 2016 California Plumbing Code (as of January 9, 2017). Chapter 10 of the 2016 California Plumbing Code includes requirements and specifications for the installation, plumbing, and sizing of grease removal devices. VII-1.5 Commercial Source Control Inspection Program The City has an active commercial fats, oils, and grease source control inspection program (FOG Program) to reduce the amount of fats, oils, and grease improperly discharged from food service establishments (FSEs). The FOG Program has been in place since 2007. SVCW, the wastewater treatment Joint Powers Authority of which the City is a part, is responsible for managing the industrial waste pretreatment program that regulates industries in the City and also assists with the implementation of the FOG Program. The following paragraphs further describe the organization of the FOG Program. The City identifies all FSEs in the City and provides that list to SVCW. The City generates the list of FSEs from the City’s business database, in which FSEs are flagged with specific standard industrial classification (SIC) codes for food establishments. The FOG Program currently includes approximately 203 FSEs. SVCW conducts inspections of the FSEs to locate and evaluate maintenance of grease removal devices, evaluate kitchen plumbing, and review FOG management procedures. During the inspections, SVCW provides outreach material and educates FSE staff on the use of industry-standard BMPs. SVCW generally obtains outreach materials from the Bay Area Pollution Prevention Group, a local industry organization in which SVCW is an active member. SVCW, and the City, requires FSEs to maintain records of grease trap maintenance and provide FSEs with one of the following logs created for that purpose: • Grease Removal Device Maintenance Log • Grease Hauling Log SVCW inspectors document inspection results using the Food Service Establishment Data Entry Form, and prioritize FSEs into the following categories: 6.2.A. - Page 54
