<br /> <br />City of Redwood City Page 48 <br />Sewer System Management Plan, March 2018 Element VII <br />The following goals have been established for the minimum frequency for conducting <br />inspections at each FSE: <br />• Priority 3 – High Priority: Inspected monthly until the identified problem is resolved <br />or alternate enforcement actions are taken by the City <br />• Priority 2 – Medium Priority: Inspected quarterly <br />• Priority 1 – Low Priority: Inspected annually <br />SVCW staff maintains a database of FSE information and inspection results. SVCW provides <br />quarterly reports to the City on their inspections and findings. Meetings are held following the <br />receipt of these reports to discuss issues in the field, particularly regarding areas prone to FOG <br />problems. The City’s Utilities Field Supervisor and Public Works Superintendent also <br />communicate directly with the SVCW source control manager on a more regular basis as needed. <br />SVCW staff will prepare and transmit an initial Notice of Violation to FSEs when a violation is <br />discovered. SVCW staff will also provide a written explanation, within 30 days of the <br />investigation, of the cause of the violation. All additional enforcement is conducted by City Code <br />Enforcement staff. <br />VII-1.6 Hotspot Management <br />Those areas found to be more prone to grease build-up or stoppages (grease hotspots) have been <br />identified and are included as appropriate in the City’s accelerated cleaning schedule for pipe <br />requiring more frequent cleaning. An example list of pipes requiring more frequent cleaning is <br />included in Element IV, Appendix IV-1. The City is also inspecting the entire system over an <br />11-year period, a process that is likely to ensure that any as-yet unidentified pipes with grease <br />issues are discovered and accounted for. <br />Table VII-1 below lists the total number of FOG-related mainline SSOs from 2011 to 2016. <br />Table VII-1 : Historical FOG Related SSOs <br />Fiscal Year Number <br />2012/13 2 <br />2013/14 2 <br />2014/15 4 <br />2015/16 2 <br />2016/17 3 <br /> <br />6.2.A. - Page 56
