(c) lrSEs with Shared Grense Intereeplor(s\: ln situations where FSEs share one or moreCreasE Interceptors, the owner of each Grease lnterceptor and any FSE and FSE Ownerwho utiliees or will utilize the shared Grease Interceptor are collectively responsible forcompletion and submission of the FOG Registtation form to the City within the timeperiod required in this ordinanceo for identifying all FSEs connected to each Greaselnterceptor in the FOG Registration form, and for ensuring that all FSEs connected to thatClrease Interceptor comply with this ordinance, as well as Chapter 3. All FSEs conuectedto the shared Grease Interceptor shall be subject to inspections under this ordinance. [nthe event the identity of an FSE connected to the shared Orease Interceptor changes or inthe cvent that an additional FSE conneots to the shared Grease Interceptor, the owner ofthe shared Grease Interceptor, the FSE Owner, and any FSE utilizing or who wilt utilizethe shared Grease Interceptor must submit an updated FOG Registration form identifyingthe change or the additional FSE to the City at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to thechange and prior to the additional FSE connecting to the shared Grease Interceptor.

(d) New Grease Trnplfirease Interceptor Inspectiott Procedure"

(l) ESE'- New Facilities, After a completed and satisfactory FOG Registration formhas been submitted to the City, the FSE may proceed with installation and/orconstruction of the Grease Trap and/or Grease Interceptor. When installationand/or construction of the Grease Trap and/or Grease lnterceptor is completed, theFSE Owner shall noti$ the City that the FSE is ready fior inspection. T'he FSEOwner shall notify the City prior to covering any extcrior Grease Interceptors.During the inspection, the intbrmation contained in the FOG Registration formwill be verified and the FSE's Grease Traps and/or Grease Interceptors witl beinspected. If any Grease Trap or (irease Interceptor requires maintenance orrepairs, if any incorect information has been given, or in the event of

(7)

WCSR 35s0?J0lv,t

noncompliance with any portion of this ordinance, the Inspector will issue awritten notice requiring that the FSE conect any deficiencies, including a tequiredtime schedule for repairs to be effected prior to a second inspection. Second

inspections will be performed after a minimum of ten (10) calendar days have

elapsed to allow the FSE to implement appropilate and neces$ary correctiveaction(s) to correct the deficiencies. If the FSE is not in compliance at the second

inspection, the F'ltE Owner must complete any additional maintenance and/orrepairs or take whatever other action may be requirod for compliance, and

resubmit the FOC Registration form, Failure to comply with any porlion of this

ordinance after resubmission of the FOG Registration form may result inenforcement action pursuant to Chapter 3, including, but not lirnited to,

termination or denial of the FSE's water and/or sewer service.

(2) FSE - Exi.rting Facilittes. All Existing FSEs are required to submit a completed

FOG Registration form to the City at the address shown on the form no later than

thirty (30) calendar days after receiving notilication by the City that registration is

required, Failure to do so will constitute a violation of this ordinance. A new

FOG Registration form must be submitted upon change in ownership of the FSE

or changes in operations, changes in plumbing configurations or additions, if such

changes could result in a potential change in the FOG discharge into the City'scollection system or could change the functioning or maintenance requirements ofthe FSE's existing facilities and shall include, without limit*tion, a change of use

which necessitates the issuance of a new SCDHEC food service permit;remodeling or expansion of the food preparation area; and/or modifications to the

kitchen lvaste plumbing system, No new Grease Trap or Grease lnterceptor maybe placed into service until the City has conducted an inspection pursuant to the

procedurcs set forth in subsection (l) above.

4-3-75 Inspection Proc*dure,

All FSEs are subject to inspeotion as follows:

(a) Inspections.' The Inspector and City Staff may inspect FSEs at any time during business

hours in order to verify continued compliance with all applicable laws and regulations,

including, without limitation, requirements of this ordinance and Chapter 3. All FSEs

which have submitted a l'OG Registration form should expect to be inspected on aregular basis. Inspections shall include, wlthout limitation, all equipment, foodprocessing and storage areas that discharge into the Grease Traps andior Crease

Interceptors at the FSE. The Inspector and/or City Staff shall also inspect the FSH's

logbook and other records and data required to be kept hereunder; Grease Trap(s) andior

Grease Interceptor(s); and may check the level of the Grease Trap and/ar Grease

Interceptor contents and take samples and/ur photographs as deemed neeessary in the

Inspector's sole discretion. If noncompliance is identitied by the lnspector andlor CityStaff during an inspection, the Inspector will, after the inspection, issue the FSE a writtennotice of violation directing the FSE to correct any deficiency. The FSE will be

scheduled tbr re-inspection at the time denoted in the notice of violation.

(b) Re-lnspectlo,nr; The lnspector and City Staff will re-inspect FSEs that are issued a noticeof violation within the tirne period specified in the notice of violation. The Inspectorshall inspect, without limitation, any repairs made or other conective measures taken bythe FSE with regard to any noted violations and will subsequently provicle written noticeof complianse or non-compliance to the FSE as the case may be. tf, upon re-inspection,the FSE has corrected all of the deficiencies which resulted in the issuance of the noticeof violation and the FSE is in full compliance with all other requirements of the Program,the FSE will be notified by the City thar it is in compliance.

(c) Access ond Cooperatian Dafing Inspections.'

The refusal of any FSE to allow the Inspector and/orCity Staff entry to or upon the FSE's premises, or an FSE's failure to cooperate in anymanner during the course of an inspection, shall constitute an imrnediate violation of thisordinance, which may result in an immediate enforccment action pursuant to thisordinance without further notice.

Non-Compliance: In the event of continuing non-compliance after re- inspection, theFSE Owner will be notified that continued failure to comply within the time perioddesignated by the City may result in enforcement action pursuant to Chapter 3, including,but not limited to, termination of water and/or sewer service.
