| | I just found out that the under counter grease trap I have under my 3 compartment sink does not meet code. So I have to install an under ground grease trap. Does anyone know what steps I have to take to make this happen? An estamite on how much it will cost from start to finish. |

What is the business? A restaurant, perhaps?
What is the waste flow rate, operating schedule, and temperature of the waste?
What are the local city requirements?
Do they have a standard drawing of the installation? If so, is it feasible to actually install such a device at your facility?
Would the city allow an above-ground grease trap to be used? It would possibly be cheaper and easier than installing one underground.
Do you have to be concerned with freezing weather?

| | An in ground grease trap located outside your building will be expensive. It is essentially built the same way a septic tank is built but it has influent and effluent baffles and is attached to the sewer collection system. Most contractors will charge 10K to 20K especially if they will need to cut into the pavement. |

| | Don't forget the $350 for pumping every other month burgers, Chinese every month, pizza served on paper about every 6 months. Grease trap regulations vary by location, so you would be better off checking with your local building code guy. That and 10K to 20K sounds about right. Mark |
