One of the significant portions of that order relates to a requirement for each agency to develop a "Fats, Oils, and Grease" Source Control Program ( "FOG Control Program ") This study will be the second phase of a study, which is jointly sponsored by OCSD and the co- permittees to promote compliance with the requirements of the Waste Discharge Permit by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. This phase of the study will cover two important Waste Discharge Requirement program compliance elements, FOG Control Program, and Sanitary Sewer Overflow Reporting Program. The attachment is provided as Intent for Participation in the Phase II and this ongoing study will be conducted by consultants and the Orange County Sanitation District. The estimated cost of this study for Phase II is $330,000 with Seal Beach's required contribution of $3,789 for Phase II.
