  • Carbonaceous Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD)
  • Fats
  • Grease (FOG)

Oil & Grease Management Program (OGMP)

Fees

There will be a one-time registration fee of $25 and a monthly fee of $20 per month to cover additional treatment costs and inspections of the traps. Charges will be added to your monthly utility bill.


Automotive Facilities


Automotive facilities (car washes, see Industrial Pretreatment) can discharge:

  • Debris
  • Other Types of Pollutants
  • Petroleum Hydrocarbons

New Automotive Facilities


All new automotive facilities are required to have and maintain Oil-Water separators. Facilities that discharge "zero" pollutants, where the oils, anti-freeze, and solvents are kept in a contained unit and then pumped out for recycling and or hazardous disposal are not required to have a separator.


Dental Facilities

Dental facilities may be required to have an Amalgam separator. Even though facilities are not using amalgams any longer there are still patients that may have amalgam fillings that will be disposed of at your facility. We will schedule an appointment to discuss the possibility of this pre-treatment.
