Gardels, Project Manager General Gtowth of California, Inc. 15821 Ventura Blvd. Suite 525 Encino, California 91436 Dear Mr. Gardels: Subject: Sears-oil interceptor, Gateway Mall We have reviewed your May 22 letter requesting the City's approval for the use of the modified 1000 gal. tank as a substitute for the oil interceptor required for the auto center drain. Ralph Shaw, City Plumbing Inspector, has adv ised that although a true oil interceptor as required by the Code will automatically draw off excess oils and volatiles in the waste water to a separate storage tank, the interceptor you submitted will be acceptable with the condition that the interceptor will be regularly serviced as indicated in your letter. He emphasized the need for continued maintenance with this type of interceptor for proper oil separation. We will file your letter with our project records as your commitment (and that of Sear) that the required maintenance will take place regularly.

SUITE 525 ENCINO CALIFORNIA 91436 FAX: (818) 907-8841 (818) 90,7-3400, Re: Sears Gatew~ Mall r Gentlemen: I haye asked ou'r mechanical engineering staff to reyiew the oil interceptor drawings submitted for the Sears auto center which you haye disapproyed due to absence of storage capability. They adyise me that this interceptor does haye storage capability which can be drawn off periodically as required by the Uniform Plumbing Code. We haye also contacted the mechanical representative ,for Sears at the Sears Tower in Chicago, Illinois and have verified that these interceptors are drawn off every two weeks, and that this type interceptor is used at other locations. It should be pointed out that the fluids entering the interceptor are from periodic wash down of the auto center floor. Oil and other fluids removed from autos for servicing are stored in other containers aboye ground within the facility and are not entered into this system. I ask that you please reconsider this submittal. information or documentation, please let me know. coopera ti on. If you need more Thank you for your Sincerely, I~~~ Timothy E.
