TE 2 City and County of Honolulu Environmental Services Requirements.pdf

This document is a set of rules and regulations for the Grease Interceptor Program Compliance issued by the Department of Environmental Services for the City and County of Honolulu in January 2002. The document provides comprehensive guidelines for commercial kitchens, restaurants, food processing facilities, and other establishments that discharge fats, oil, and grease (FOG) into the city's wastewater collection system.

The rules outline detailed requirements for grease interceptor design, installation, sizing, and maintenance. Key provisions include mandating that all industrial waste streams containing FOG must be directed into appropriately sized grease interceptors, with specific design criteria based on the Uniform Plumbing Code and local regulations. The document specifies maintenance frequency (using a "25 Percent Rule" where interceptors must be pumped when FOG accumulation reaches 25% of liquid depth), record-keeping requirements, and potential penalties for non-compliance, which can include fines up to $25,000 per violation per day, permit suspension, or service termination.
