Re: Proposal for Fat, Oil & Grease (FOG) Program Development and Inspections
Dear Joe:
D-MAx Engineering, Inc. (D-MAx) is pleased to submit this proposal to conduct FOG Program
compliance inspections of industrial and commercial facilities within the City of National City
(City). Work will be conducted in accordance with the City's Sanitary Sewer Management
Plan (SSMP) and the Statewide General Waste Discharge Requirements for Sanitary Sewer
Systems (SWRCB Order No. 2006-0003-DWQ). Based on our experience with FOG
programs in other jurisdictions and our current work in the City of National City, we will be
able to provide cost-effective assistance with the development and implementation of the
City's FOG Program.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Task 1 — FOG Program Development - Our scope of services will include the following sub -
tasks.
1.1: Development of FOG Best Management Practice (BMP) Requirements
We will update the City's SSMP to include FOG BMPs for Food Service Establishments
(FSEs). We will develop a list of required FOG BMPs, including the following.
• Source control BMPs, such as installing drain screens and training employees.
These BMPs are necessary since SWRCB Order No. 2006-0003-DWQ requires
"Development and implementation of source control measures for all sources of
FOG discharged to the sanitary sewer system...."
• Numeric standards for total accumulation of grease and solids in grease control
devices, which create a clearer basis for compliance and enforcement.
• Record -keeping requirements, most commonly for grease control device
maintenance, employee training, private sewer lateral cleaning, and hood exhaust
cleaning.
It is our understanding that these BMPs require legal backing from the City's Municipal
Code, and that City staff will be able to obtain input from the City Attorney.
1.2: Development of a FOG Inspection Form
We will create FOG inspection forms for the City. For stand-alone FOG inspections, a
short form will be developed to log the appropriate facility and FOG BMP information. We
will also adapt the existing Storm Water Industrial/Commercial restaurant attachment to
7220 Trade Street ■ Suite 119 ■ San Diego, CA 92121 • (858) 586-6600 ■ Fax (858) 586-6644

match the new FOG BMP requirements so that FOG inspections can be conducted
efficiently.
1.3: Database Modification for FOG Data
To begin storing data immediately from the FOG inspections conducted this fiscal year,
we will modify the existing Storm Water Industrial/Commercial Program inspection
database. FOG inspection data from both the combined and stand-alone FOG
inspections will be stored in one Microsoft Access database, which can be used to quickly
export spreadsheets of facility and inspection data.
Task 2 — FOG Education and Outreach - Our scope of services will include the following
sub -tasks.
2.1: FOG Inventory Research and Update
We will update the current inventory of FOG facilities with contact information. Some
businesses from the Industrial/Commercial storm water inventory have already been
marked as FOG facilities. Additionally nearly 35 non -restaurant FSEs were recently
identified based on old business license records. Any new schools, hospitals,
convalescent homes, churches with cafeterias, and other non -restaurant FSEs will need
to be added to the inventory. We will update the City's inventory based on the most
recent current business license list to obtain correct contact information (such as mailing
addresses) for inspection notification and education. Facilities that may or may not have
kitchens, such as churches, will be called to confirm the need to place them on the
inventory.
2.2: Facility Notification and Education
SWRCB Order No. 2006-0003-DWQ requires "An implementation plan and schedule for
a public education outreach program that promotes proper disposal of FOG." In order to
notify facilities of the City's FOG BMP requirements, a letter will be mailed to the facility
owner/operator of all FSEs on the City's FOG inventory. We will prepare a cover letter
describing the City's BMP requirements and rationale. We will also prepare a one -page
fact sheet that defines FOG -related terms and explains the conceptual basis for the
program. This mailing will also serve as notification to facilities to expect a City
inspection, which is typically necessary to ensure that facility owners are able to
implement and document their maintenance and training program before inspectors
arrive.
Task 3 — FOG Inspections - Our scope of services will include the following sub -tasks:
3.1: Inspections
Types of FOG Inspections
Stand -Alone Fat, Oil, and Grease (FOG) Inspections
Facilities on the FOG Inventory that have not otherwise been required to be inspected
for the Storm Water Program, such as schools, hospitals, and convalescent homes,
require stand -along, FOG only inspections. These facilities are also typically larger
and may have scheduling constraints due to safety and security issues. FOG
inspections will be scheduled and conducted in accordance with all City BMP
requirements set forth in the updated SSMP. FOG inspections include an evaluation
of any grease control devices in use at the facility, an assessment of required

• mils
measures to prevent discharge of FOG, and an assessment of FOG -related training
conducted at the facility. Results will be documented on the new stand-alone
inspection form developed for the program. We will mail out corrective action reports
to the responsible party (owner and/or operator) after inspections.
Fat, Oil, and Grease (FOG) Inspections Combined with Required Storm Water
Compliance Inspections
Where possible, we will conduct FOG inspections in coordination with compliance
inspections that are already requred as part of the Storm Water Industrial/Commercial
Inspection Program. This will be the most efficient way to increase the FOG
inspection program's coverage with a minimum of additional travel time and cost.
Along with the standard storm water quality inspection, additional inspection of FOG
related activities will be conducted at grease -producing facilities such as restaurants,
grocery stores, and food manufacturers. We will use the storm water inspection
form's restaurant attachment that will be modified to include FOG BMPs for the FOG
portion of the inspection. We will mail out corrective action reports to the responsible
party (owner and/or operator) after inspections.
Number of Required Inspections
The City recently submitted a questionnaire to the State Water Quality Control Board
(SWRCB) that estimated 180 FOG inspections would be conducted in the 2012 calendar
year. During the 2011-2012 fiscal year, we propose to conduct approximately 100
inspections before June 30, 2012. We propose 180 inspections in each of future fiscal
years 2012-2013 and 2013-2014.
Inspection Method
To maximize efficiency, our inspectors will conduct both combined storm water and FOG
inspections and storm water compliance inspections concurrently instead of completing
all FOG inspections separately. This approach is more efficient because it allows
neighboring businesses to be inspected on the same day even if some establishments
require a FOG inspection and some do not. Also, facilities that require a FOG inspection
are often very busy and thus difficult to inspect around peak lunch hours of approximately
11:00 AM to 1:30 PM. For this reason, having an inspection list with both FOG and non -
FOG sites also helps improve efficiency.
3.2 — FOG Inspection Letter Report
Summary letters that update the City on the progress of the inspection program will be
prepared and sent to the City twice per month while inspections are being conducted.
The summary letters will include lists of violations observed and recommendations. Note
that sanitary sewer overflows and any other situations deemed to present immediate
threats to water quality will be reported immediately to City staff via telephone call. At the
conclusion of our inspections, we will prepare a short report summarizing the findings and
recommendations of the FOG inspections conducted.
3.3: FOG Inventory Report
We will create an Excel spreadsheet that provides the entire FOG inventory, type and
size of grease control device, and the date of the most recent inspection for each site on
the inventory.

Task 4: As -Needed Follow -Up Services - Our scope of services will include the following
sub -tasks.
4.1: Follow -Up FOG Inspections
Based on our experience, some facilities that generate FOG require follow-up after
inspection to ensure that they do conduct appropriate maintenance or install required
source control BMPs, such as drain screens. On an as -needed basis we will follow-up
with up to 50 inspected facilities (50 percent of total) first by requesting submission of
maintenance records then by revisiting the site, if necessary.
4.2: Enforcement Case Paperwork
In the case that some facilities are unresponsive to follow-up efforts and do not make
required corrections, additional enforcement measures may be required. Since this is the
first year, we do not anticipate an extensive enforcement process, however if the City
requests assistance with preparation of Notices of Violation or other enforcement
paperwork, we are available to help with up to five cases on an as -needed basis.
Task 5: As -Needed On -Call Services — It has been our experience that FOG Program
related circumstances requiring an expert or immediate response occasionally arise, such as
responses to regulatory agency comments, providing support to City staff with municipal
code revision, assistance with data requests for regulatory or third party inquiries, and field
investigation of illegal discharges or complex BMP deficiencies. D-MAx will be pleased to
provide on -call services to the City of National City when requested by the City.

3. Resolution
Explanation:
Municipal sanitary sewer collection and conveyance systems are an extensive, valuable,
and complex part of the City's infrastructure. Collection systems consist of pipelines,
conduits, pumping stations, force mains, and all other facilities used to collect wastewater
from individual residential, industrial, and commercial sources and convey it to facilities
that provide treatment before discharge to the environment. Often, the sanitary sewer
system is blocked by Fats, Oils, and Greases, causing sewer overflows.
On May 2, 2006 the State Water Resources control Board (SWRCB) adopted Order No.
2006-0003, a General Waste Discharge requirement (WDR) for all publicly owned
sanitary sewer collection systems in California with more than one (1) mile of sewer
pipe. The Order allowed each regional board to issue more stringent or more prescriptive
WDRs for sanitary sewer systems. Region 9, the San Diego region, adopted Order R9-
2007-0005 on February 14, 2007 that contained additional provisions that all sewer
collection agencies with Region 9 adhere to, specifically relating to private lateral sewage
discharges reporting.
In Section D, 13 (vii) Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG) Control Program of SWRCB Order
No. 2006-0003, the City was required to implement a program to help reduce the amount
of FOG discharged to the sanitary sewer system. The City prepared the program in April
of 2009, which addresses the mandatory SSMP provisions:
(1) A plan and schedule for the disposal of FOG generated within the sanitary sewer system
service area, and a list of acceptable disposal facilities.
(2) Legal authority to prohibit discharges to the system and identify measures to prevent
SSO's and blockages caused by FOG.
(3) Requirements to install grease removal devices, design standards for the removal devices,
maintenance requirements, B1\IP requirements, record keeping and reporting requirements.
(4) Authority to inspect grease producing facilities, enforcement authorities, and sufficient
staff to inspect and enforce the FOG ordinance.
(5) Identification of sanitary sewer system sections subject to FOG blockages and
establishment of a cleaning maintenance schedule for each section.
(6) Development and implementation of source control measures for all sources of FOG
discharged to the sanitary sewer system for each section identified.
(7) Implementation of a plan and schedule for a public education outreach program that
promotes proper disposal of FOG.
D-Max Engineering, Inc. provides the City with assistance in implementing the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Storm Water Program. The Storm
Water Program and the FOG Program have similarities and in some cases the
requirements overlap. Staff recommends approval of an amendment to the contract with
D-Max Engineering, Inc., to assist with implementing the FOG Program as outlined on
the attached proposal.

Re: Proposal for Fat, Oil & Grease (FOG) Program Development and Inspections
Dear Joe:
D-MAX Engineering, Inc. (D-MAx) is pleased to submit this proposal to conduct FOG Program
compliance inspections of industrial and commercial facilities within the City of National City
(City). Work will be conducted in accordance with the City's Sanitary Sewer Management
Plan (SSMP) and the Statewide General Waste Discharge Requirements for Sanitary Sewer
Systems (SWRCB Order No. 2006-0003-DWQ). Based on our experience with FOG
programs in other jurisdictions and our current work in the City of National City, we will be
able to provide cost-effective assistance with the development and implementation of the
City's FOG Program.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Task 1 — FOG Program Development - Our scope of services will include the following sub -
tasks.
1.1: Development of FOG Best Management Practice (BMP) Requirements
We will update the City's SSMP to include FOG BMPs for Food Service Establishments
(FSEs). We will develop a list of required FOG BMPs, including the following.
• Source control BMPs, such as installing drain screens and training employees.
These BMPs are necessary since SWRCB Order No. 2006-0003-DWQ requires
"Development and implementation of source control measures for all sources of
FOG discharged to the sanitary sewer system...."
• Numeric standards for total accumulation of grease and solids in grease control
devices, which create a clearer basis for compliance and enforcement.
• Record -keeping requirements, most commonly for grease control device
maintenance, employee training, private sewer lateral cleaning, and hood exhaust
cleaning.
It is our understanding that these BMPs require legal backing from the City's Municipal
Code, and that City staff will be able to obtain input from the City Attorney.
1.2: Development of a FOG Inspection Form
We will create FOG inspection forms for the City. For stand-alone FOG inspections, a
short form will be developed to log the appropriate facility and FOG BMP information. We
will also adapt the existing Storm Water Industrial/Commercial restaurant attachment to

match the new FOG BMP requirements so that FOG inspections can be conducted
efficiently.
1.3: Database Modification for FOG Data
To begin storing data immediately from the FOG inspections conducted this fiscal year,
we will modify the existing Storm Water Industrial/Commercial Program inspection
database. FOG inspection data from both the combined and stand-alone FOG
inspections will be stored in one Microsoft Access database, which can be used to quickly
export spreadsheets of facility and inspection data.
Task 2 — FOG Education and Outreach - Our scope of services will include the following
sub -tasks.
2.1: FOG Inventory Research and Update
We will update the current inventory of FOG facilities with contact information. Some
businesses from the Industrial/Commercial storm water inventory have already been
marked as FOG facilities. Additionally nearly 35 non -restaurant FSEs were recently
identified based on old business license records. Any new schools, hospitals,
convalescent homes, churches with cafeterias, and other non -restaurant FSEs will need
to be added to the inventory. We will update the City's inventory based on the most
recent current business license list to obtain correct contact information (such as mailing
addresses) for inspection notification and education. Facilities that may or may not have
kitchens, such as churches, will be called to confirm the need to place them on the
inventory.
2.2: Facility Notification and Education
SWRCB Order No. 2006-0003-DWQ requires "An implementation plan and schedule for
a public education outreach program that promotes proper disposal of FOG." In order to
notify facilities of the City's FOG BMP requirements, a letter will be mailed to the facility
owner/operator of all FSEs on the City's FOG inventory. We will prepare a cover letter
describing the City's BMP requirements and rationale. We will also prepare a one -page
fact sheet that defines FOG -related terms and explains the conceptual basis for the
program. This mailing will also serve as notification to facilities to expect a City
inspection, which is typically necessary to ensure that facility owners are able to
implement and document their maintenance and training program before inspectors
arrive.
Task 3 — FOG Inspections - Our scope of services will include the following sub -tasks.
3.1: Inspections
Types of FOG Inspections
Stand -Alone Fat, Oil, and Grease (FOG) Inspections
Facilities on the FOG Inventory that have not otherwise been required to be inspected
for the Storm Water Program, such as schools, hospitals, and convalescent homes,
require stand -along, FOG only inspections. These facilities are also typically larger
and may have scheduling constraints due to safety and security issues. FOG
inspections will be scheduled and conducted in accordance with all City BMP
requirements set forth in the updated SSMP. FOG inspections include an evaluation
of any grease control devices in use at the facility, an assessment of required

measures to prevent discharge of FOG, and an assessment of FOG -related training
conducted at the facility. Results will be documented on the new stand-alone
inspection form developed for the program. We will mail out corrective action reports
to the responsible party (owner and/or operator) after inspections.
Fat, Oil, and Grease (FOG) Inspections Combined with Required Storm Water
Compliance Inspections
Where possible, we will conduct FOG inspections in coordination with compliance
inspections that are already requred as part of the Storm Water Industrial/Commercial
Inspection Program. This will be the most efficient way to increase the FOG
inspection program's coverage with a minimum of additional travel time and cost.
Along with the standard storm water quality inspection, additional inspection of FOG
related activities will be conducted at grease -producing facilities such as restaurants,
grocery stores, and food manufacturers. We will use the storm water inspection
form's restaurant attachment that will be modified to include FOG BMPs for the FOG
portion of the inspection, We will mail out corrective action reports to the responsible
party (owner and/or operator) after inspections.
Number of Required Inspections
The City recently submitted a questionnaire to the State Water Quality Control Board
(SWRCB) that estimated 180 FOG inspections would be conducted in the 2012 calendar
year. During the 2011-2012 fiscal year, we propose to conduct approximately 100
inspections before June 30, 2012. We propose 180 inspections in each of future fiscal
years 2012-2013 and 2013-2014. .
Inspection Method
To maximize efficiency, our inspectors will conduct both combined storm water and FOG
inspections and storm water compliance inspections concurrently instead of completing
all FOG inspections separately. This approach is more efficient because it allows
neighboring businesses to be inspected on the same day even if some establishments
require a FOG inspection and some do not. Also, facilities that require a FOG inspection
are often very busy and thus difficult to inspect around peak lunch hours of approximately
11:00 AM to 1:30 PM. For this reason, having an inspection list with both FOG and non -
FOG sites also helps improve efficiency.
3.2 — FOG Inspection Letter Report
Summary letters that update the City on the progress of the inspection program will be
prepared and sent to the City twice per month while inspections are being conducted.
The summary letters will include lists of violations observed and recommendations. Note
that sanitary sewer overflows and any other situations deemed to present immediate
threats to water quality will be reported immediately to City staff via telephone call. At the
conclusion of our inspections, we will prepare a short report summarizing the findings and
recommendations of the FOG inspections conducted.
3.3: FOG Inventory Report
We will create an Excel spreadsheet that provides the entire FOG inventory, type and
size of grease control device, and the date of the most recent inspection for each site on
the inventory.

Task 4: As -Needed Follow -Up Services - Our scope of services will include the following
sub -tasks.
4.1: Follow -Up FOG Inspections
Based on our experience, some facilities that generate FOG require follow-up after
inspection to ensure that they do conduct appropriate maintenance or install required
source control BMPs, such as drain screens. On an as -needed basis we will follow-up
with up to 50 inspected facilities (50 percent of total) first by requesting submission of
maintenance records then by revisiting the site, if necessary.
4.2: Enforcement Case Paperwork
In the case that some facilities are unresponsive to follow-up efforts and do not make
required corrections, additional enforcement measures may be required. Since this is the
first year, we do not anticipate an extensive enforcement process, however if the City
requests assistance with preparation of Notices of Violation or other enforcement
paperwork, we are available to help with up to five cases on an as -needed basis.
Task 5: As -Needed On -Call Services — It has been our experience that FOG Program
related circumstances requiring an expert or immediate response occasionally arise, such as
responses to regulatory agency comments, providing support to City staff with municipal
code revision, assistance with data requests for regulatory or third party inquiries, and field
investigation of illegal discharges or complex BMP deficiencies. D-MAx will be pleased to
provide on -call services to the City of National City when requested by the City.
