13.30.116 Facility closure.
(Note: Plumbing permit required for any alterations of plumbing system.)
A. When a facility with a grease interceptor (GGI/HGI) closes for business, and is subsequently:
1. Razed or demolished, then any grease interceptor (GGI/HGI) shall be either:
a. Physically removed; or
b. Have all contents pumped out, a straight line plumbed from the inlet to the outlet, and the remainder of the tank filled with soil or sand;
2. Remodeled such that the grease interceptor (GGI/HGI) will not be used, then the grease interceptor or interceptors may be left in place, however:
a. The grease interceptor (GGI/HGI) shall have all contents pumped out, the GGI/HGI cleaned thoroughly, and the grease interceptor left dry and empty; and
b. Be re-plumbed as to bypass the existing grease interceptor or interceptors, either by straight through or by bypassing methods, while leaving the empty GGI/HGI in place for possible future utilization by another business; or
3. Replaced with a type of business that will not utilize the grease interceptor (GGI/HGI), then that business may have any existing grease interceptor or interceptors:
a. Physically removed; or
b. Re-plumbed as to bypass the existing grease interceptor or interceptors, either by straight through or by bypassing methods, while leaving the empty HGI in place for possible future utilization by another business; or
c. Re-plumbed with a straight line from the inlet to the outlet, and the remainder of the grease interceptor or interceptors filled with soil or sand. In all instances, the owner of the premises shall appropriately inform the supervisor and perform the closure at such a time so as to permit an inspector to be physically present during the removal or filling of the interceptor (GGI). (Ord. 1185 § 4, 2010; Ord. 1107 § 7, 2007; Ord. 1087 § 6, 2007).
