With the assistance Df the Springfield Building Division, a representative from the
Springfield Water Pollution Control Plant will be conducting grease trap inspections
throughout the City of Springfield. Section 711 of the Oregon State Plumbing Special-..
ty Code (PSC) states: ".. .an approved type grease interceptor complying with the
provisions of this section shall be installed in the waste line leading from sink,
drains, and other fixtures, or equipment in the following establishments: restaurants,
cafes, lunch counter, cafeterias, bars, clubs; hotel, hospital, sanitarium, factory,
or school kitchen, or other establishments where grease may'be introduced into the
drainage or sewage system in quantities that can effect line stoppage or hinder sewage
-treatment or private sewage disposal..."
Your establishment has been inspected and it was found that in order to comply with
the above, you will need to install a grease interceptor. No grease interceptor
shall be installed which has an approved rate of flow of less than 20 gallons per
minute and grease retention capacity of 40 pounds. Section 711 (d) - (PSC) states:
"...Each plumbing fixture or piece of equipment connected to a grease device instal-
led in a readily accessible and visible located in the tail piece or drain outlet
of each such fixture. Flow control devices shall be so designed that the total flow
through such device or devices shall at no time be greater than the rate capacity
of the interceptor. No flow control device having adjustable or removable parts
sha 11 be approved..."
Since the build-up of grease in the lines and lift station wet wells causes a great
amount of maintenance resulting in unwarranted costs to the public, a city-wide' .
program to determine the adequacy and condition of these installations is being
conducted by a Springfield Water Pollution Control Plant Representative.
All necessary permits shall be obtained before work begins and all inspections
for such work shall be required by calling the City of. Springfield inspection
line at 726-3769.
Your anticipated'cooperation in this matter is appreciated.
