is still hot, to facilitate separation. Grease interceptors shall
be located, designed and constructed in a manner that will permit
easy access and cleaning.
1.
Standards applicable to existing facilities. Existing facilities
shall have installed grease interceptors which conform to the applicable
standards for grease interceptors set forth in the National Plumbing
Code. In addition, in order to identify those grease interceptors
which are malfunctioning or of a capacity or design inadequate to
properly intercept the grease discharged, the board of health shall
require monitoring points to be installed on the premises of all existing
facilities. The board of health shall notify in writing all property
owners who shall be required to install said monitoring points. Said
monitoring points shall be installed within 120 days of receipt of
the board of health's written notification.
The monitoring points shall consist of "clean outs" extended
to be flush with the existing grade at a point on the premises as
near to the sanitary sewer main as possible. Where multiple tenants
have separate laterals connecting to the sewer main, monitoring points
shall be installed for each individual facility to which this chapter
applies. Monitoring points with a depth of four (4') feet or
less shall have a minimum diameter of four (4") inches. Monitoring
points with a depth of more than four (4') feet shall have a

points at various times through the year. Access to the monitoring
points shall be kept reasonably open to the health officer in order
for samples to be taken. If the health officer determines from the
samples taken that any grease interceptor is malfunctioning or of
inadequate design or capacity, he shall notify the property owner
of the malfunction or deficiency and the measures that must be taken
by the property owner to correct the malfunction or deficiency, which
measures may include the installation of a grease interceptor meeting
the standards set forth in paragraph b2 below.
Existing facility as that term is used herein shall mean a restaurant,
cafeteria, institutional kitchen or other installation discharging
large quantities of grease that is operating as such at the time of
passage of this subsection.
2.
Standards applicable to new or altered facilities. The following
standards shall apply to new or altered facilities as follows:
(a)
Restaurants. The following equation shall be used to determine
the minimum size required for grease interceptors serving restaurants:
Q = (D) x (HR/2) x (12.5) x (0.5), where:
Q = size of grease interceptor in gallons;
D = number of seats in dining area;
HR = number of hours open per day; and
(b)
Cafeterias and institutional kitchens. The following equation
shall be used to determine the minimum size required for grease interceptors
serving cafeterias and institutional kitchens:
Q = (M) x (11.25) x (LF), where:
Q = size of grease interceptor in gallons;
M = total number of meals served per day; and
LF = loading factor depending on type of facilities present:
1.0 with dishwashing;
0.5 without dishwashing.
|
In no case shall a grease interceptor serving a new or altered
facility be smaller than 750 gallons in capacity. The minimum requirement
for construction, materials and foundations of grease interceptors
shall be the same as those required for septic tanks, as prescribed
in N.J.A.C. 7:9A-8.2. The inlet and outlet of the grease interceptor
shall be provided with "T" baffles extending to a depth of twelve
(12") inches above the tank floor and well above the liquid level.
To facilitate maintenance, manholes extending to finished grade shall
be provided. Covers shall be of gastight construction and shall be
designed to withstand expected loads and prevent access by children.
|
|
NEW FACILITY – As that term is used herein shall mean
any proposed new restaurant, cafeteria, institutional kitchen or other
installation discharging large quantities of grease.
|
|
ALTERED FACILITY – As that term is used herein shall mean
a restaurant, cafeteria, institutional kitchen or other installation
discharging large quantities of grease which is remodeled, renovated,
reconstructed or modified, which remodeling, renovation, reconstruction
or modification requires any change in the physical configuration
of an existing grease interceptor or any of its component parts, including
replacement, modification, addition or removal of system components
such that there will be a change in the location, design, construction,
installation, size, capacity, type or number of one or more components.

3.
Penalties. Any person who fails to comply with any provision of this
subsection, upon conviction therefor, shall be liable to a penalty
of no less than $500. Each day a particular violation continues shall
constitute a separate offense for which a penalty of no less than
$100 per day shall be imposed.
[Ord. 6/3/76, S 405; Ord.
#2014-02 Art. I]
Where installed, all grease, oil and sand interceptors shall
be maintained by the owner, at his expense, in continuously efficient
operation at all times. The owner/operator of a grease interceptor
shall maintain a log of the maintenance activities performed on the
components of the system. This log shall be maintained onsite for
visual inspection upon request of the Health Officer or Board of Health
representative.
