[Added BOS 4-14-2010]
In an effort to curb sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) from grease
accumulation in its public sanitary sewer system, the CWPCA adopted,
at its public meeting on January 11, 2010, a Fats, Oils, and Grease
(FOG) Program. Any nonresidential (excluding industrial) facility
connected to the public sanitary sewer system that is involved in
the preparing or serving of food will be subject to the conditions
of this article and must come into compliance within one year of adoption.
The review of this article shall be completed by the CWPCA at a minimum
of once every 10 years from the date of acceptance.
The purpose of this article (also referred to herein as the
"FOG Article") is to protect the environment by preventing raw sewage
overflows and backups into basements caused by grease hardening in
sewer lines causing blockages.
The following definitions shall apply to this article:
The Sewer Administrator of the Town of Cromwell or persons
authorized by the CWPCA to approve FDPs, FHPs and grease trap requirements.
An indoor grease trap (A trap may also be referred to as
an interceptor.) that separates grease from wastewater by active mechanical
or electrical means. Such traps are typically compact under-the-sink
units and should be as far away as possible from grease-bearing (cleaning)
equipment like dishwashers, before exiting the building. See definition
of "grease trap."
The practices and procedures of a facility designed to prevent
or minimize environmental damage. BMPs include, but are not limited
to, treatment requirements, operating procedures, practices to control
spillage or leaks, grease disposal, or provide drainage from material
storage.
The CWPCA of the Town of Cromwell as created by a Special Town Meeting on April 28, 1965, with all the powers, purposes and objectives as set forth in Chapter 103 of the General Statutes of Connecticut, Revision of 1958 and amendments thereto.
Any fats, oils and grease generated from the food preparation
process. All are sometimes referred to as "grease" or "greases".
A permit issued by the CWPCA authorizing the discharge of
wastewater to the public sanitary sewer system from a FPE.
Establishments that engage in cooking methods that have the
potential to produce fats, oils and grease, including facilities that
are regulated by the local Health Department and are classified as
a Class III or Class IV food service establishment (FSE), as defined
by the State Health Code; or are regulated by the Connecticut Department
of Consumer Protection. These facilities include, but are not limited
to, restaurants, hotel kitchens, hospitals, school kitchens, bars,
factory cafeterias, clubs, prisons and commercial bakeries. Industrial
food processing facilities are not regulated by this article.
A regional collection/transfer/disposal site approved in
accordance with the law for the disposal of FOG. This means a Department
of Environmental Protection (DEP)[1] approved publicly/privately owned treatment works that
is for the separation and disposal of FOG by incineration or other
methods. Pursuant to Section 22a-174-33 of the Regulations of Connecticut
State Agencies related to Title V source, an in-state regional incinerator
must have an operating permit that lists FOG as a source of fuel.
The term "grease trap" is used collectively to mean both
AGRUs and outdoor grease traps.

Protection (DEEP).
A.
The objectives of this article are:
(1)
To prevent the introduction of excessive amounts of grease into the
Town of Cromwell's public sanitary sewer system.
(2)
To prevent clogging or blockage of the Town of Cromwell's public
sanitary sewer system due to grease build-up causing sewage to back
up and flood streets, residences and commercial buildings, resulting
in potential liability to the CWPCA.
(3)
To implement a procedure to recover the cost incurred from cleaning
and maintaining sewer lines due to improper grease removal.
(4)
To implement a procedure to recover costs for any liability incurred
by the CWPCA for damage caused by grease blockages resulting in the
flooding of streets, residences or commercial buildings.
