Port-Wide Sewer System Management Plan(SSMP) - Port of Oakland

8.2 FOG CONTROL PLAN
The East Bay Municipal Utilities District (EBMUD) has developed a district wide FOG
control program. The Port facilities are covered under this program, similar to any satellite
discharger; therefore, the Port will not develop a separate program. In lieu of developing a
Port specific FOG Control Plan, the report included in Appendix L summarizes the EBMUD
FOG control program as relevant to the Port. The EBMUD FOG control program is primarily
focused on reducing FOG discharged from food service facilities (FSFs) in the Port, since
the Port has no residential customers.
The EBMUD FOG control program meets the GWDRs and RWQCB requirements and
protects the public health and welfare. This section summarizes the major aspects of the
EBMUD FOG control program as relevant to the specific GWDRs and RWQCB
requirements.
8.2.1 Public Outreach Materials
EBMUD has developed several useful public outreach materials for controlling FOG
discharges into the sanitary sewer system, focused on both FSFs as well as residential
customers. The outreach materials relevant to the Port and its tenants are those pertaining
to FSFs. The outreach materials are available in several languages (English, Spanish,
Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese). The FSF outreach material includes the following:
• Program Brochure. This document describes the EBMUD FOG control program,
and explains what FOG is, the issues related to FOG, introduces the BMPs,
describes grease interceptors and EBMUD’s interceptor requirements.
• List of Approved Grease Haulers. This document is a list of grease haulers in the
area that are approved by EBMUD.
• Grease Interceptor Maintenance Brochure. This document summarizes the
maintenance requirements for facilities required by EBMUD to use a grease
interceptor.
• BMP Brochure. This document summarizes the FOG BMPs summarized in
Section 8.2.5.
• FAQs. A list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) is available for FSFs describing
the program requirements.
• Permit Forms. Various permit documents are included to describe the program terms
and conditions and provide documents that must be completed and signed by the
discharger.
• Grease Trap Maintenance Form. This form is to be completed by each
establishment and keeps a log of when a grease interceptor was cleaned, who
cleaned it, amount of grease removed, and where the grease was disposed of. Each
