FOG may consist of vegetable or animal products including <br />butter, lard, vegetable fats and oils, or may be a by-product of, the cooking or food <br />preparation process, that turns or may turn viscous, or solidify with a change in <br />temperature or other conditions. <br />FOOD SERVICE ESTABLISHMENT: A non-residential sewer user that maintains, <br />uses, or operates a facility for the purpose of storing, preparing, serving, <br />manufacturing, packaging, transporting, salvaging or otherwise handling and <br />distributing food and beverages (including prepackaged items), for consumption by <br />the public, which utilize any process or device that produces or involves FOG. Food <br />Service Establishments include, but are not limited to, restaurants, commercial <br />kitchens, caterers, hotels, bars, schools, hospitals, convalescent/nursing homes, <br />community centers, and correctional facilities, and any other facility preparing and <br />serving food for public consumption. <br />GREASE CONTROL DEVICE: Any grease interceptor, grease trap or other <br />mechanism, device, or process, which attaches to, or is applied to, wastewater <br />plumbing fixtures and lines, the purpose of which is to trap, collect, treat, or remove <br />FOG prior to it being discharged into the sewer system. "Grease control device" may <br />also include any other proven method to reduce FOG subject to the approval of the <br />Director. <br />GREASE INTERCEPTOR: A multi -compartment device that is constructed in <br />different sizes and is generally required to be located, according to the California <br />Plumbing Code, underground between a Food Service Establishment and the <br />connection to the sewer system. These devices primarily use gravity to separate <br />FOG from the wastewater as it moves from one compartment to the next. These <br />devices must be cleaned, maintained, and have the FOG removed and disposed of <br />in a proper manner on regular intervals to be effective. <br />GREASE TRAP: A grease control device that is used to serve individual fixtures and <br />have limited effect. <br />N103:0]4il4â–ºlir_10j111"W163A1061 <br />The City's Director shall enforce the provisions of this Article VIII. <br />ATTY/ORD.506/CC FOG ORDINANCE <br />REV: 1-29-20 EI <br />Page 4 of 18 <br />
