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

FSF is required to keep a copy of this log on file should an EBMUD inspector wish to
review it.
• “No Grease” Sign. This sign should be posted near sinks and drains to remind
workers not to dispose of FOG into the sanitary sewer system.
8.2.2 FOG Disposal
The EBMUD MWWTP serves as one of the main receiving facilities for waste grease in the
vicinity of the Port 1
. The address and contact information for the MWWTP is listed below:
EBMUD MWWTP
2020 Wake Avenue
Oakland, CA 94607
Alameda County
Phone: 510-287-1651
Residents within the EBMUD service area may drop off small amounts of grease
(15 gallons or less) themselves at the MWWTP between the hours of 7:00 AM and
7:00 PM. However, since the Port consists of non-residential users, use of the drop on site
is not allowed. However, EBMUD does maintain a list of “approved haulers,” which
dischargers with an EBMUD wastewater discharge permit (WDP) are required to use. Table
8.1 provides a list of the “approved haulers,” as well as contact information. Individuals
should contact the hauler ahead of time to determine their specific requirements.
8.2.3 Legal Authority
Historically, the Port did not have any ordinances restricting the type, volume, and character
of wastewater discharged into the Port collection system. EBMUD and the City, however,
do have legally binding ordinances limiting certain discharges. As part of the SSMP, a Port
specific sewer use ordinance was developed and adopted by the Board of Port
Commissioners (See Chapter 4 for more detailed information). However, since the
programs and activities recommended in this plan rely primarily on a utilization of the
existing EBMUD FOG control program, the legal authority to implement (and continue to
implement) the majority of the measures described in this FOG Control Plan is currently
available through the existing EBMUD sewer use ordinances.

Note that most of the receiving facilities have residency restrictions.
