Presentation Description: This presentation will guide attendees through the process of creating a municipal FOG program from start to finish. We will first review why municipal FOG programs exist in the first place and discuss the benefits of operating a thorough program as well as the downside to not having a FOG program in place. We will then, step by step go through the entire process and we will actually create an actual mock municipal FOG program (small scale) with the audience during the presentation. We will be conducting the following steps.
-Enacting/Adopting/Creating a FOG Ordinance -Profiling Stakeholders (Waste Haulers, Facilities, Grease Separation Devices) -Cleaning Record Submission & Storage -FOG Inspections -Sewer Overflow & Environmental Reporting Protocols -Engaging FOG Generating Facilities -Data Reports & Progress Measurements -Typical Daily FOG Program Tasks
We will be reviewing actual examples of all the steps above while creating a mock municipal FOG program. By the end of the presentation, we will look back at the program we have created as a whole and review how it operates.
