Section 2. Section 13.20.080 C is amended to read as follows:
A grease interceptor or a grease trap is not considered to be properly maintained if for any
reason it is not in good working condition with all internal required plumbing of proper
design and length in place, or if the operational fluid capacity has been reduced by more
than twenty-five (25) percent by the accumulation of floating and settled solids, oils, and
greases. The owner of any premises required to install a grease interceptor; the lessee and
sub lessee, if there be such; and any proprietor, operator, or superintendent of such facility
are individually and severally liable for any failure of proper maintenance of such grease
interceptor.
If the grease interceptor is not maintained adequately under the conditions of use, the
grease interceptor shall be resized and the user shall install one which is effective in
accomplishing the intended purpose.
When a grease interceptor/trap is cleaned, the sidewalls should be scraped and hosed
down, while all the solids and liquids contained are removed. All wastes removed from
any grease interceptor/trap shall be legally disposed of other than to the sewer. The City
of Pocatello Chubbuck specifically prohibits the following grease interceptor/trap
practices:
(a) Pumping to remove only accumulated sediments or floating materials;
(b) Pumping operations which specifically separate floating or sediment
interceptor solid wastes from wastewater and then return or decant the
separated wastewater back into the grease interceptor/trap;
(c) Transporting any hauled pollutants from another location for discharge
into a grease interceptor/trap.
