A. Except for HGIs, each interceptor (GGI) shall be located outside of a building or structure in an area accessible for service, and so installed and connected that it shall be at all times easily accessible for inspection, and for cleaning and removal of the intercepted waste. Inlet inspection ports, interceptor inspection ports, and effluent monitoring ports shall be in areas where vehicles may not temporarily block access to inspection. The use of ladders or the removal of bulky equipment or stored materials in order to inspect inlet flow, inspect or service interceptors, or sample interceptor effluent shall be unacceptable. Inspection ports and monitoring ports shall be located so as to allow inspectors quick and easy access to the inlet flow, each compartment of the interceptor, and the effluent from the interceptor. The location of all interceptors, inspection ports, and monitoring ports shall meet the approval of the supervisor and shall be shown on the approved building plans.

B. Standard manhole ports with risers shall be installed over each inlet, outlet and crossover connections of the interceptor (GGI), but in either case all parts of the interceptor (GGI) shall be easily accessible for cleaning and visual inspection. A monitoring port shall be provided for ease in sampling the treated effluent from the interceptor (GGI). The port shall be installed according to the public works standards, or as approved by the supervisor. The port shall be installed and maintained at the generator’s expense. A generator shall properly place, monitor, and maintain the monitoring port so that wastewater samples taken from the monitoring port are representative of wastewater leaving the interceptor. It shall be unlawful for a grease generator to divert sewage around a monitoring point into the POTW. (Ord. 1185 § 4, 2010; Ord. 1107 § 7, 2007; Ord. 1087 § 6, 2007).
