Subsection 1003.3.5.5 is hereby added to the International Plumbing Code and shall read as follows:

1003.3.5.5 Pumping, cleaning and maintenance. If under the City of Olathe’s wastewater jurisdiction, each food service facility shall be responsible for pumping, cleaning and maintaining its grease interceptor(s) in good working condition. Each food service facility shall have its exterior large-capacity grease interceptor(s) pumped before the combined thickness of the floatable fats, oils and grease and settleable solids exceed 25% of the total liquid depth of the grease interceptor, or at least once every ninety (90) days. If it is determined that a more frequent pumping schedule is needed to meet the 25% rule, the food service facility shall implement kitchen BMPs as defined in Section 1003.3.5.6.

A sanitary disposal contractor, licensed in Johnson County, Kansas, must be used to provide pumping, cleaning and disposal services. Pumping shall include the removal of all contents from the interceptor, including grease, floating materials, gray water, bottom sludge and solids. Cleaning shall include removal of solids from the walls, floors, baffles and pipe work in the interceptor.

It shall be the responsibility of each food service facility to verify that the interceptor is properly cleaned out and that all fittings and fixtures inside the interceptor are in good working condition. The food service facility must maintain a written log of the pumping record that includes copies of any receipts for repairs or maintenance to the interceptor(s), including pumping and cleaning on site. This log and any receipts shall be made available upon request.
