[P2assist] Fats, Oil and Grease Management Guidance Available

[Norma Murphy]

"Considerations for Management of the Discharge of Fats, Oils and Grease
(FOG) to Sanitary Sewer Systems" is available at
http://www.p2pays.org/ref/20/19024.pdf and is a document that provides
guidance on FOG management.  This work is useful in helping the wastewater
pretreatment groups in local governments establish or even modify existing
oil and grease programs. Outreach and education materials are also provided
to raise awareness of commercial, institutional and residential generators
to help keep their drains "Fat Free". This document is the result of the FOG
Task Force which met over the past year and half to produce guidance on
developing effective and reasonable FOG regulatory programs with an emphasis
on generator education and Best Management Practices.  Also contained in the
guidance is info on food donation and how to prevent FOG from entering the
municipal sewer system via food service or homeowners.

Please contact me, Norma Murphy at 919-715-6513 or norma.murphy@ncmail.net
if you have any questions or comments on the content of the FOG document. If
possible, please share it with your local governement pretreatment officials
and food service operators.

Thanks!
