The "Whereas" clauses set forth above and the
rules and regulations of the local agency now in effect or hereafter
adopted governing the use of the sanitary sewer collection system
in Richland Township are incorporated herein by reference.
All rules and regulations of the local agency
concerning the prohibition of illegal discharges into the sanitary
sewer system may be fully enforced by Richland or its duly constituted
designees. All establishments, such as but not limited to restaurants,
commercial kitchens, food preparation or processing establishments,
service stations, motor vehicle repair or maintenance facilities and
like or similar facilities or any other establishment which generates
prohibited grease, oil and fat which may enter into the sanitary sewer
system of the local agency, shall be required to provide a properly
designed and sized grease trap and further shall be required to conduct
such periodic inspection and maintenance of such grease trap as to
keep the same properly functioning and preventing the discharge of
grease, oil and fat into the local agency's sanitary sewer system.
Said grease trap shall be so designed, constructed, installed and
routinely maintained so as to keep the grease content of sewage leaving
the premises to less than 100 parts per million by weights.
Any establishment asserting that it has not
in fact contributed to such a sanitary sewer blockage as set forth
above may apply for relief from said charges by providing written
documentation of the installation of a properly designed and sized
grease trap, as well as written records of continual and regular inspection
and maintenance of said grease trap. Said record of installation and
maintenance is subject to review by Richland Township or the local
agency or their designee, as is the actual grease trap installation
itself. Final determination as to the relief from charges shall be
within the sole discretion of Richland upon advice received from the
local agency.
