structure into the wastewater system. The FSE or FM/P bears the burden of demonstrating that the installation of a grease interceptor is not feasible. The request for an exemption shall include the following information if relevant: 1. Evidence of a lack of available exterior space necessary to place an interceptor relative to the location of sewer main and easement: 2. Evidence of a lack of adequate slope for gravity flow between kitchen plumbing fixtures in the FSE or FM/P and the wastewater facilities: 3. Description and specifications of the alternative grease control equipment that will be installed: 4. Evidence that the size, available seating or type of food preparation does not generate any significant volume of FOG. M. Charge for remedial maintenance or repair of the citV wastewater sVstem. 1. In the event that the owner of an FSE or FM/P or the owner of any structure in which an FSE or FM/P is located is found to have contributed to the partial or complete obstruction of a wastewater facility resulting from the discharge of wastewater or waste containing FOG and that the city is required to act immediately to control a public health hazard because of such blockage, such owner shall be required to reimburse the city for all costs of abating such condition. In situations where there are multiple owners identified as contributing to FOG causing such obstruction, the Public Works Director will apportion the cost of the cleanup, maintenance or repair costs on a prorated basis, based on each owner's percentage share of the average total sanitary sewer charges for all such owners. Further, should inspection, testing or other sampling activity by the city confirm that any user is contributing excessive FOG (including other harmful ingredients) and is causing the repair or extraordinary maintenance activity to maintain the integrity of the system, the Public Works Driector may require retrofitting of the structure with grease interceptors or grease traps, including testing facilities and access thereto sufficient to resolve the problem: 2. The costs for curing any private sewer lateral failures and sewer system overflows, including cleaning and other maintenance, caused in whole or in part by FOG introduced into the wastewater treatment facilities by any FSE or FM/P, alone or in conjunction with any other party, are the responsibility of the owner of the FSE or FM/P and the owner of any structure in which the FSE or FM/P contributing the FOG to wastewater system is located. N. Compliance. Compliance with the grease control program shall be evaluated based on the following criteria: 1. All food service establishments who are implementing and documenting BMPs [including employee training and kitchen proceduresl and performing and documenting grease retention unit cleaning at the required frequency will be considered to be in full compliance with this policy. 2. When an obstruction and/or sanitary sewer overflow occur, the records of all FSE or FM/P that discharge to the affected sanitary sewer line may be reviewed in order to determine the responsible party. Any FSE or FM/P found to be in noncompliance with the required grease retention unit cleaning frequency shall be deemed a "responsible party" for cost recovery. Payment of cost recovery does not preclude further enforcement actions for noncompliance as per the FOG enforcement response plan. O. Penalties and assessments for FOG program noncompliance. In the event that the owner of an FSE or FM/P or the owner of any structure in which an FSE or FM/P is located is
