a. Can deposit grease or oil in the sanitary sewer lines such manner
as to clog the sanitary sewers;
b. Can over load the discharge's skimming and grease handling
equipment;
c. Are not amenable to biological oxidation and will therefore pass
to the receiving waters without being affected by normal
wastewater treatment processes; or

treatment processes or are detrimental to the biota of the receiving stream to
which the effluent of the wastewater treatment facility discharges.
When the volume of a single toxic industrial waste discharge, or the
combined toxic industrial waste discharge of a group of industries within a
single contributory area, is so large as to raise a question of the ultimate
concentration of toxic substances entering a treatment plant or a receiving
stream, the City shall impose separate or special concentration limits upon
the discharger to insure:
a. That the concentrations in wastewater of any toxic substances
shall not exceed those concentrations in the influent of any
wastewater treatment plant toxic to biological wastewater
treatment processes, or adversely affect sludge digestion, or
"sludge quality," or any biochemical, biological or other
wastewater treatment process.

demand
d. High Hydrogen Sulfide content; or
e. Unusual flow and concentration.
>. Toxic substances which are not amenable to treatment or reduction by
the wastewater treatment process employed, or are amenable to
treatment only to such degree that the wastewater treatment plant
cannot meet the requirements of other agencies having jurisdiction over
discharge to the receiving waters without first pretreating to a
concentration acceptable to the City.
When wastewater containing any of the aforementioned materials is

Director may serve upon that person a written Notice of Violation. Within seven (7)
days of the receipt of such notice, an explanation of the violation and a plan for the
satisfactory correction and prevention thereof, to include specific required actions,
shall be submitted by the person to the Director. Submission of such a plan in no way
relieves the person of liability for any violations occurring before or after receipt of the
Notice of Violation. Nothing in this Section shall limit the authority of the Director to
take any action, including emergency actions or any other enforcement action,
without first issuing a Notice of Violation.
C. CONSENT ORDERS - The Director may enter into Consent Orders, assurances of
compliance, or other similar documents establishing an agreement with any person
responsible for noncompliance. Such documents shall include specific action to be
taken by the person to correct the noncompliance within a time period specified by

issued hereunder, or any other Pretreatment Standard or Requirement, the Director
may petition the appropriate court of the State of Oklahoma for the issuance of a
temporary or permanent injunction, as appropriate, which restrains or compels the
specific performance of the wastewater discharge permit, order, or other
requirement imposed by this Ordinance on activities of the person. The Director may
also seek such other action as is appropriate for legal and/or equitable relief,
including a requirement for the person to conduct environmental remediation. A
petition for injunctive relief shall not be a bar against, or a prerequisite for, taking any
other action against a person.
K. ADMINISTRATIVE FINES -
l. When it has been determined that a person has violated, or continues to
violate, any provision of this Ordinance, a wastewater discharge permit, or
order issued hereunder, or any other Pretreatment Standard or

FROM: Travis Blundell
Utility Superintendent
SUBJECT: Amending PART 17, Utilities, Chapter 3, Sewer System
DATE: March 11, 2016
BACKGROUND:
Due to the negative impact fats, oils, and grease (FOG) has on the City of Owasso sewer system,
this past year Public Works staff and an environmental consultant began reviewing the Sewer
System Ordinance. Review of the Sewer System Ordinance revealed the need to modernize
some of the language, remove repetitious or unnecessary provisions, and develop a section
specifically focused on a FOG Management Program that will enable staff to effectively monitor
the discharge of fats, oils and grease from food service establishments (FSEs).
A draft of the new Sewer System Ordinance was completed in September of 2015. The most
significant change within the Ordinance is the development of a FOG Management Program.
Since the FOG program specifically focuses on the operations of FSEs there were five (5) public
meetings held in November for FSEs to meet with public officials. The purpose of the meetings
was to provide a venue for staff to explain the reasons for and the requirements of the FOG
program. In addition, to provide FSEs an opportunity to ask questions, provide ideas for the
program and express any concerns.
PROPOSED ORDINANCE:
The most significant changes from the current Ordinance to the proposed Sewer System
Ordinance is Section 17 -330 - General Limitations, Prohibitions and Requirements on Fats, Oils
and Grease (FOG) discharges and the language to authorize City Council to establish fees by
resolution. Section 17 -330 authorizes the City of Owasso to establish uniform maintenance and
monitoring requirements for limiting the discharge of FOG from FSEs and establishes regulation of
FOG transporters operating within the City limits.
The proposed Sewer System Ordinance would do the following but not limited to:
• Authorize the OPWA to establish a FOG Management Program for FSEs and FOG
Transporters to operate by.
• Require FSEs to apply for a FOG Wastewater Discharge permit prior to discharging
wastewater.
• Require FSEs to submit a permit application within ninety (90) days of adoption of the
proposed ordinance.
• Establish Prohibitions that apply to FSEs.
• Require FSEs to implement best management practices (BMPs) as specified in the FOG
Management Program.
• Require new and existing FSEs to install a FOG pretreatment system.
• Establish maintenance requirements for FOG pretreatment systems.
• Require FOG Transporters operating within the City of Owasso to obtain a FOG
Transporter permit.
PROPOSED RESOLUTIONS:
Proposed resolutions of the City Council and the OPWA establishing the rates and fees
associated with the proposed Sewer System Ordinance are the Industrial Wastewater Discharge
Permit and annual renewal fee, at $500, the FOG Wastewater Discharge Permit, a $25 monthly
fee and the FOG Transporter Permit annual and renewal fee, at $150.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Ordinance 1073 establishing general requirements for the
wastewater collection system and establishing the new FOG management program.
Staff recommends City Council approval of Council Resolution 2016 -03 establishing fees for the
industrial wastewater pretreatment program and FOG management program.
