Description
Fats, Oils, and Greases (FOG) from food service establishments (FSEs) results in significant increased treatment and sewer infrastructure replacement costs at the Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW). In addition, FOG accumulation over time causes significant blockages to wastewater conveyance systems which result in health risks due to sanitary sewer overflows.
The purpose of this project is primarily to provide FOG abatement training and resources to pretreatment coordinators, publicly owned treatment works personnel, plumbers, pumper companies, public officials such as city or county commissioners, and any other professional that has an interest in FOG abatement. This program is national in scope, and will specifically target communities that include eligible, small, rural, economically disadvantaged communities (including tribes) throughout the entire United States.
