K. Exception from grease interceptor requirements. If the owner of any FSE or FM/P or of any structure in which an FSE or FM/P is located or is to be located demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the Public Works Director that installation of a grease interceptor is not feasible, the Public Works Director may grant an exception allowing such owner to install grease traps or other alternative treatment technology which will in their discretion adequately control the release of FOG from the FSE or FM/P or the structure into the sanitary sewer system.
