This ordinance amends the Bloomington Municipal Code Title 10 at Chapter 17 to expand the types of fats, oils and grease ("FOG") devices acceptable to CBU in its FOG program, in an effort to reduce the overall economic impact to the food service industry for complying with the FOG program while increasing cooperation in the FOG program. These amendments also establish a new permit program which requires all FOG hauling services to first apply for and receive a permit from CBU before engaging in any hauling of FOG waste in the City. The permit program is free and contains an educational component to educate the FOG hauling industry on best practices for cleaning and maintaining FOG retention devices as well as best practices for hauling and disposing of FOG waste. This program is intended to increase the effectiveness of FOG retention device maintenance which will, in tum, increase the effectiveness of the FOG retention device in keeping FOG waste material from entering the wastewater collection system.
