Grease interceptors shall be considered out of compliance if the total volume of grease and solids displaces more than 10% of the effective volume of the final chamber of the interceptor. Grease interceptors must be serviced and emptied of accumulated waste content as required maintaining a minimum design capability or effective volume, but not less than once every ninety 90) calendar days. f a facility determines that cleaning every 90 calendar days is unnecessary in order to remain in compliance with requirements as described in Sections & of the City of Bonney Lake Municipal Code, the facility may make a written application for a variance from the cleaning schedule; b. Sanitary wastes cannot be introduced into the grease interceptor; c. Any facility that has a grease interceptor shall utilize a licensed rendering disposal company to clean the interceptor and dispose of the waste; d.

Flushing the grease interceptor with large quantities of water in an effort to cause accumulated grease to pass through is prohibited; g. No debris or storage units shall be stacked or placed within a 3 foot radius of the grease interceptors access lids or sampling ports; H. Monitoring and reporting. Each establishment with a grease interceptor or grease trap shall retain maintenance records showing at a minimum the date of service, volume pumped, name of waste hauler, and waste disposal location for each grease removal device located on the premises. The records shall be kept a minimum of three 3) years and provided to the city upon request. Ordinance 1266 Page 5 of7

6 .
