§ 363-19. Installation of grease traps.

All commercial and institutional establishments, including but not strictly limited to all food preparation establishments, shall install and maintain grease traps in accordance with the following provisions:

A. 

All grease traps shall be installed in conformance with the most current National Standard Plumbing Code, or its successor code, as may be applicable for such installations.

B. 

The installation of all grease traps shall be subject to the inspection and approval of the Plumbing Subcode Inspector.

C. 

Each facility requiring a grease trap shall be inspected twice a year or as may be deemed necessary by the Borough of Bellmawr. Such inspection shall be performed by the Borough Plumbing Subcode Inspector, the Camden County Health Inspector and/or the Camden County Municipal Utility Authority Inspector.

D. 

The purpose of the inspection(s) required by Subsection C above shall be to certify that the grease trap is being properly maintained in one of the following ways:

(1) 

By the submission of receipts from a registered hauler that the grease trap has been acceptably cleaned on a monthly basis by said hauler; in addition to this submission, the grease trap is subject to unscheduled verification by Fathometer to determine that the grease trap is not obstructed by over 20% of volume being occupied by residues, to assure its acceptable operation;

(2) 

By the submission of monthly analysis report results from a certified laboratory showing oil and grease testing of the effluent certified discharge, which results shall meet acceptable limits and testing of the grease content of the trap, which acceptable limits must be that the volatile acid contents are below 25 milligrams per liter and are therefore not rancid; or

(3) 

By the appropriate recordkeeping certified by a responsible executive of the facility indicating the self-cleaning of the solid and floating residues from the grease trap on at least a monthly basis. Such residues are to be shown as acceptable for processing as a by-product-usable substance, able to be incinerated in an acceptable, licensed burning facility or able to be transported off site by a registered hauler.

E. 

No grease or grease residue may be disposed of in trash receptacles. All grease traps shall be cleaned at least every 30 days and recycled by a registered hauler.

F. 

All recycled grease shall be reported to the Borough Recycling Coordinator on a quarterly basis, no later than April 15, July 15, October 15 and January 15 for the preceding calendar quarter, on forms to be provided by the Recycling Coordinator.

G. 

The following records must be maintained on the premises, for inspection as part of the inspections to be conducted as set forth in Subsection C above:

The date, or dates, the grease trap is cleaned.

(2) 

The quantity and amount of grease removed from the trap.

(5) 

The name, address, telephone number and registration number of the registered hauler.

(6) 

The place (including address) of disposal of the grease utilized by the registered hauler.
