Lowndes County Grease Regulations

Understanding the regulations in Lowndes County requires local knowledge. Here’s a breakdown of the key regulations for grease management in our area:

Local

1. Valdosta FOG Elimination Program Ordinance: Adopted May 20, 2010. It applies to food industry customers in Valdosta. It requires measures to prevent fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from entering the sewer system. We design our used cooking oil services to make compliance easy for you.
2. Lowndes County Illicit Discharge Ordinance: It bans dumping FOG into the storm sewers. We service all cities in Lowndes County. It helps our clients comply with the law, avoid fines, and protect local waterways.

State

Georgia Administrative Code – Grease Traps (Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. 511-3-1-.12): This state rule requires grease traps for businesses where grease exceeds 50 mg/l in the sewer. We’re familiar with these requirements and can help you make sure your grease traps meet state specs.

Federal

1. Clean Water Act (CWA): This federal law regulates pollutant discharges, including FOG. Our services keep you compliant with these federal standards.
2. EPA’s National Pretreatment Program (40 CFR Part 403) has rules for FOG control. They aim to prevent interference with public treatment works. Our total grease management solutions keep you ahead of these federal regulations.
