Scientific studies have shown that exposure to some PFAS in the environment may be linked to harmful health effects in humans and animals. There are thousands of PFAS chemicals, and they are found in many different consumer, commercial, and industrial products. This makes it challenging to study and assess the potential human health and environmental risks. Learn more about our current understanding of PFAS. What We Don't Fully Understand Yet EPA's researchers and partners across the country are working hard to answer critical questions about PFAS: How to better and more efficiently detect and measure PFAS in our air, water, soil, and fish and wildlife How much people are exposed to PFAS How harmful PFAS are to people and the environment How to remove PFAS from drinking water How to manage and dispose of PFAS This information will help EPA ...

St. George City Stormwater :
Stormwater is the water from rain, sleet and snow (even in Southern Utah), that travels down our gutters into the storm drain. Storm water starts off clean and flows DIRECTLY into our rivers, washes and lakes. It is almost never treated…so everything stormwater collects from the land surface, roadways, sidewalks, parking lots, construction sites, business parks, etc., is carried to gutters, storm drains, canals, drainageways, and finally ends up in our local washes and rivers. It is estimated that more than one-half of the pollution in our nation's waterways comes from storm water runoff.

...s adopted landscape standards that limits outdoor irrigation with culinary water to between the hours of 8:00 pm – 10:00 am from June 1 – September 1. This helps to reduce the amount of water evaporation that occurs by watering in the heat of the day. During the summer months, the City provides over 40 million gallons of water per day to its customers.   Currently, over 10 million gallons of water are delivered between 4 am and 6 am each morning. Based on the water distribution system data, it appears that the majority of the residents in St. George are watering their landscapes between the hours of 4 am and 6 am.   “A large demand for water in a short period of time creates a noticeable pressure drop in the water distribution system.  While a drop in pressure affects the entire distribution system, some residents will notice lower than normal pressure,” said Water Services Director, Scott Taylor.      A large drop in pressure will affect the efficiency of a sprinkler system and may result in inadequate sprinkler coverage.  Dry areas of a lawn may be the result of inadequate sprinkler coverage.  If this is the case, lengthening the watering cycle will most likely not resolve the dry spot issues, but will only result in increasing the amount of water running off the irrigated area.    “In an effort to improve water pressure city-wide, we are asking residents to adjust their sprinkler clocks to avoid watering between the hours of 4 am and 6 am,” Taylor added.  The City is also asking residents to spread out their outside watering over a longer period of time.  Spreading out the watering times does not mean to water for a longer period of time, but to allow for some down time in between sprinkler station cycles.     Adjusting sprinkler systems to avoid watering between 4 am and 6 am and spreading out the watering times will increase the sprinkler system efficiency and improve sprinkler coverage in most cases.     Be a part of the FIX, don’t water between 4 and 6 am!   St. George Water and Energy Services are committed to using our natural resources in the most effective manner not just for the short term, but for the long term.

Southern Utah Adopt a Waterway:
      ...     ... Southern Utah waterways have become polluted with trash and debris. This, along with stormwater runoff, has created a negative impact on our water resources and animal habitats. Rain washes trash from streets into the storm drainage system that leads directly to ponds, streams and lakes. Sometimes people dump trash directly into waterways on purpose. Trash makes our streams and lakes look terrible and harms aquatic habitat. Chemicals that may be in the trash can also degrade water quality. Removal of trash is one of the many ways to help reduce pollution.  Adopt a Waterway volunteers have fun exploring local streams and feel great knowing they are helping the environment. It can be a great opportunity to teach environmental stewardship to children or a great team-building and community service activity for businesses, civic groups, and neighborhood groups.  The Adopt a Waterway Program is a program that facilitates the monitoring, clean up, and enhancement of stream/river segments of Southern Utah and is open to individuals and organizations interested in helping the environment. To participate in the Adopt a Waterway program, volunteers will register to clean up a stream segment at least two times a year for a two year period. Once a group has achieved their first cleanup event, the group qualifies to have their name on an Adopt a Waterway trail sign, in addition to recognition in marketing materials and on the website! The information below can help you with the next steps for adopting a stream.  ... What waterways are available to adopt? Please email stormwater@sgcity.org or view the interactive map on this page that shows available waterways that are in need of adoption. ... How many people need to be in my group in order to adopt? We have specifically created shorter and longer sections of waterways in order to accommodate groups of any size and capability. The sections are customizable and it is recommended to meet or contact stormwater@sgcity.org to find the perfect section for your group. ... What if I am alone but still want to contribute? There are other ways to contribute if a stream section is too much, such as adopting a stormwater inlet, donating supplies or resources, graffiti removal, and much mor...

...esticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. These materials can enter into our waterways through illegal dumping, run-off from excessive lawn irrigation, and from heavy rains. The following guidelines if followed can greatly reduce the potential of these pollutants from entering our waterways. Use pesticide/herbicide/fertilizer only if there is an actual pest problem (not on a regular preventative schedule). Do not use pesticide/herbicide/fertilizer if rain is expected. Apply only when wind speeds are low (less than 5 mph). Do not mix or prepare pesticide/herbicide/fertilizer for application near storm drains. Prepare the minimum amount of pesticide/herbicide/fertilizer needed for the job and use the lowest rate that will effectively control the issues. Employ techniques to minimize off-target application (e.g. spray drift) of pesticide/herbicide/fertilizer, including consideration of alternative application techniques. Calibrate pesticide/herbicide/fertilizer application equipment to avoid excessive application. Sweep pavement and sidewalk if pesticide/herbicide/fertilizer is spilled or overspread on these surfaces. Purchase only the amount of pesticide/herbicide/fertilizer that you can reasonably use in a given time period (month or year depending on the product). Triple rinse containers, and use rinse water as product. Dispose of unused pesticide/herbicide/fertilizer as hazar...

Wastewater Treatment:
The Wastewater Treatment Division operates a wastewater treatment facility that accepts sanitary sewage from St. George, Ivins, Santa Clara, and Washington City. The treatment plant has a design capacity of approximately 17 million gallons per day (mgd), and currently treats an average of 9.5 mgd. The plant utilizes an oxidation ditch / extended aeration process that uses physical and biological processes to treat the sewage. There is a 97 to 98% removal rate of contaminates in the treatment process.    The wastewater treatment plant also has the support of a State certified laboratory that is accredited through a national program called NELAP. The lab performs testing for plant process requirements, required Utah Pollution Discharge Elimination System testing, pretreatment testing, and drinking water testing.

Arsenic Information:
...ed the new standard of 10 ppb. According to the State Division of Drinking Water, we can meet this rule by a variety of ways including; blending the higher arsenic sources with low arsenic sources; using higher arsenic sources during high demand times of the year and lower arsenic sources during off peak season to achieve a yearly average concentration. After testing all of our wells for the past few years on a biweekly basis we have developed a blending and averaging plan that will meet the new arsenic standard. This will involve installing a new pipeline to bring water from the Quail Creek Drinking Water Plant to the Gunlock and Snow Canyon Sources. We will also be operating our wells in such a mannor that the yearly average concentration will be under 10 ppb of arsenic. The City of St. George is committed to protecting the public health and to compling with all State and Federal Drinking Water Standards, however, the City has explored the valitidy of this new standard with great concern over possible increased costs. We support the Drinking Water Board in its implimentation of this new rule and have determined that a yearly blending and sample averaging is a sensible and cost effective approach to meeting the new standard. Current research regarding arsenic health effects in relation to concentration suggests that the blending and sample averaging plan poses no health effects to the public.    E.P.A. Arsenic Facts These excerpts have been taken from the E.P.A. Federal Register. For a full version of the article please visit; E.P.A. Federal Register "No human studies of sufficient statistical power or scope have examined whether consumption of arsenic in drinking water at the current MCL results in an increased incidence of cancer or noncancer effects (NRC, 1999, pg. 7)." There have only been a few studies of inorganic arsenic exposure via drinking water in the U.S., and most have not considered cancer as an endpoint. People have written EPA asking that the new MCL be set considering that these U.S. studies have not seen increases in cancers at the low levels of arsenic exposure in U.S. drinking water. A large number of adverse noncarcinogenic effects have been reported in humans after exposure to drinking water highly contaminated with inorganic arsenic. The earliest and most prominent changes are in the skin, e.g., hyper pigmentation and keratoses (callus-like growths). Other effects that have been reported include alterations in gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, hematological (e.g., anemia), pulmonary, neurological, immunological and reproductive/developmental function (ATSDR, 1998). The most common symptoms of inorganic arsenic exposure appear on the skin and occur after 5-15 years of exposure equivalent to 700 µg/day for a 70 kg adult, or within 6 months to 3 years at exposures equivalent to 2,800 µg/day for a 70 kg adult (pg. 131 NRC, 1999). They include alterations in pigmentation and the development of keratoses which are localized primarily on the palms of the hands, the soles of the feet and the torso. The presence of hyper pigmentation and keratoses on parts of the body not exposed to the sun is characteristic of arsenic exposure (Yeh, 1973, Tseng, 1977). The same alterations have been reported in patients treated with Fowler's solution (1% potassium arsenite; Cuzick et al., 1982), used for asthma, psoriasis, rheumatic fever, leukemia, fever, pain, and as a tonic (WHO 1981 and NRC 1999). Although peripheral neuropathy (numbness, muscle weakness, tremors, ATSDR 1998) may be present after exposure to short-term, high doses of inorganic arsenic (Buchanan, 1962; Tay and Seah, 1975), there are no studies that definitely document this effect after exposure to levels of less than levels (50 µg/L) of inorganic arsenic in drinking water. There have been a few, scattered reports in the literature that inorganic arsenic can affect reproduction and development in humans (Borzysonyi et al., 1992; Desi et al., 1992; Tabacova et al., 1994). After reviewing the available literature on arsenic and reproductive effects, the National Research Council panel (NRC 1999) wrote that ``nothing conclusive can be stated from these studies.'' Based on the studies mentioned in this section, it is evident that inorganic arsenic contamination of drinking water can cause dermal and internal cancers, affect the GI system, alter cardiovascular function, and increase risk of diabetes, based on studies of people exposed to drinking water well above the current arsenic MCL. EPA's MCL is chosen to be protective of the general population within an acceptable risk range, not at levels at which adverse health effects are routinely seen (see section III.F.7. on risk considerations). In terms of implications for the risk assessment, the panel noted that risk per unit dose estimates from human studies can be biased either way. For the Taiwanese study, the ``* * * biases associated with the use of average doses and with the attribution of all increased risk to arsenic would both lead to an overestimation of risk (US EPA, 1997d, page 31). May 1999 Utah Mortality Study EPA scientists conducted an epidemiological study of 4,058 Mormons exposed to arsenic in drinking water in seven communities in Millard County, Utah (Lewis et al., 1999). The 151 samples from their public and private drinking water sources had arsenic concentrations ranging from 4 to 620 µg/L with seven mean (arithmetic average) community exposure concentrations of 18 to 191 µg/L and all seven community exposure medians (mid-point of arsenic values) 200 µg/L. Observed causes of death in the study group (numbering 2,203) were compared to those expected from the same causes based upon death rates for the general white male and female population of Utah. Several factors suggest that the study population may not be representative of the rest of the United States. The Mormon church, the predominant religion in Utah, prohibits smoking and consumption of alcohol and caffeine. Utah had the lowest statewide smoking rates in the U.S. from 1984 to 1996, ranging from 13 to 17%. Mormon men had about half the cancers related to smoking (mouth, larynx, lung, esophagus, and bladder cancers) as the U.S. male population from 1971 to 1985 (Lyon et al., 1994). The Utah study population was relatively small (4,000 persons) and primarily English, Scottish, and Scandinavian in ethnic background. While the study population males had a significantly higher risk of prostate cancer mortality, females had no significant excess risk of cancer mortality at any site. Millard County subjects had higher mortality from kidney cancer, but this was not statistically significant. Both males and females in the study group had less risk of bladder, digestive system and lung cancer mortality than the general Utah population. The Mormon females had lower death rates from breast and female genital cancers than the State rate. These decreased death rates were not statistically significant. Although deaths due to hypertensive heart disease were roughly twice as high as expected in both sexes, increases in death did not relate to increases in dose, calculated as the years of exposure times the median arsenic concentration. The Utah data indicate that heart disease should be considered in the evaluation of potential benefits of U.S. regulation. Vascular effects have also been reported as an effect of arsenic exposure in studies in the U.S. (Engel et al. 1994), Taiwan (Wu et al., 1989) and Chile (Borgono et al., 1977). The overall evidence indicating an association of various vascular diseases with arsenic exposure supports consideration of this endpoint in evaluation of potential noncancer health benefits of arsenic exposure reduction. Study of Bladder and Kidney Cancer in Finland Kurttio et al. (1999) conducted a case-cohort design study of 61 bladder and 49 kidney cancer cases and 275 controls to evaluate the risk of these diseases with respect to arsenic drinking water concentrations. In this study the median exposure was 0.1 µg/L, the maximum reported was 64 µg/L, and 1% of the exposure was greater than 10 µg/L. The authors reported that very low concentrations of arsenic in drinking water were significantly associated with being a case of bladder cancer when exposure occurred 2-9 years prior to diagnosis. Arsenic exposure occurring greater than 10 years prior to diagnosis was not associated with bladder cancer risk. Arsenic was not associated with kidney cancer risk even after consideration of a latency period. The NRC report examined the question of essentiality of arsenic in the human diet. It found no information on essentiality in humans and only data in experimental animals suggesting growth promotion (arsenicals are fed to livestock for this reason). Inorganic arsenic has not been found to be essential for human well-being or involved in any required biochemical pathway. Given this and the fact that arsenic occurs naturally in food, consideration of essentiality is not necessary for public health decisions about water. The NRC report concluded: ``For arsenic carcinogenicity, the mode of action has not been established, but the several modes of action that are considered plausible (namely, indirect mechanisms of mutagenicity) would lead to a sublinear dose-response curve at some point below the point at which a significant increase in tumors is observed. * * * However, because a specific mode (or modes) of action has not yet been identified, it is prudent not to rule out the possibility of a linear response.'' Given the current outstanding questions about human risk at low levels of exposure, decisions about safe levels are public health policy judgments. Risk Characterization In 1983 the National Academy of Sciences (NAS, 1983) defined risk assessment as containing four steps: hazard identification, dose- response assessment, exposure assessment, and risk characterization. Risk characterization is the process of estimating the health effects based on evaluating the available research, extrapolating to estimate health effects at exposure levels, and characterizing uncertainties. In risk management, regulatory agencies such as EPA evaluate alternatives and select the regulatory action. Risk management considers ``political, social, economic, and engineering information'' using value judgments to consider ``the acceptability of risk and the reasonableness of the costs of control (NAS, 1983).'' Unlike most chemicals, there is a large data base on the effects of arsenic on humans. Inorganic arsenic is a human poison, and oral or inhalation exposure to the chemical can induce many adverse health conditions in humans. Specifically oral exposure to inorganic arsenic in drinking water has been reported to cause many different human illnesses, including cancer and noncancer effects, as described in Section III. The NRC panel (1999) reviewed the inorganic arsenic health effects data base. The panel members concluded that the studies from Taiwan provided the current best available data for the risk assessment of inorganic arsenic-induced cancer. (There are corroborating studies from Argentina and Chile.) They obtained more detailed Taiwanese internal cancer data and modeled the data using the multistage Weibull model and a Poisson regression model. Three Poisson data analyses showed a 1% response level of male bladder cancer at approximately 400 µg of inorganic arsenic/L. The 1% level was used as a Point of Departure (POD) for extrapolating to exposure levels outside the range of observed data. For an agent that is either acting by reacting directly with DNA or whose mode of action has not been sufficiently characterized, EPA's public health policy is to assume that dose and response will be proportionate as dose decreases (linearity of the extrapolated dose- response curve). This is a science policy approach to provide a public health conservative assessment of risk. The dose-response relationship is extrapolated by taking a straight line from the POD rather than by attempting to extend the model used for the observed range. This approach was adopted by the NRC report which additionally noted that using this approach for arsenic data provides results with alternative models that are consistent at doses below the observed range whereas extending the alternative models below the observed range gives inconsistent results. Drawing a straight line from the POD to zero gives a risk of 1 to 1.5 per 1,000 at the current MCL of 50 µg/ L. Since some studies show that lung cancer deaths may be 2- to 5-fold higher than bladder cancer deaths, the combined cancer risk could be even greater. The NRC panel also noted that the MCL of 50 µg/L is less than 10-fold lower than the 1% response level for male bladder cancer. Based on its review, the consensus opinion of the NRC panel was that the current MCL of 50 µg/L does not meet the EPA's goal of public-health protection. Their report recommended that EPA lower the MCL as soon as possible. A factor that could modify the degree of individual response to inorganic arsenic is its metabolism. There is ample evidence (NRC, 1999) that the quantitative patterns of inorganic arsenic methylation vary considerably and that the extent of this variation is unknown. It is certainly possible that the metabolic patterns of people affect their response to inorganic arsenic. There are studies underway in humans and experimental animals under the EPA research plan and other sponsorships. Over the next several years these will provide better understanding of the mode(s) of carcinogenic action of arsenic, metabolic processes that are important to its toxicity, human variability in metabolic processes, and the specific contributions of various food and other sources to arsenic exposure in the U.S. These are important issues in projecting risk from the observed data range in the epidemiologic studies to lower environmental exposures experienced from U.S. drinking water. Until further research is completed, questions will remain regarding the dose-response relationship at low environmental levels. The several Taiwan studies have strengths in their long-term observation of exposed persons and coverage of very large populations (>40,000 persons). Additionally, the collection of pathology data was unusually thorough. Moreover, the populations were quite homogeneous in terms of lifestyle. Limitations in exposure information exist that are not unusual in such studies. In ecological epidemiology studies of this kind, the exposure of individuals is difficult to measure because their exposure from water and food is not known. This results in uncertainties in defining a dose-response relationship. The studies in Chile and Argentina are more limited in extent, (e.g., years of coverage, number of persons, or number of arsenic exposure categories analyzed), but provide important findings which corroborate one another and those of the Taiwan studies. These epidemiological studies provide the basis for assessing potential risk from lower concentrations of inorganic arsenic in drinking water, without having to adjust for cross-species toxicity interpretation. Ordinarily, the characteristics of human carcinogens can be explored and experimentally defined in test animals. Dose-response can be measured, and animal studies may identify internal transport, metabolism, elimination, and subcellular events that explain the carcinogenic process. Arsenic presents unique problems for quantitative risk assessment because there is no test animal species in which to study its carcinogenicity. While such studies have been undertaken, it appears that test animals, unlike humans, do not respond to inorganic arsenic exposure by developing cancer. Their metabolism of inorganic arsenic is also quantitatively different than humans. Inorganic arsenic does not react directly with DNA. If it did, it would be expected to cause similar effects across species and to cause response in a proportionate relationship to dose. Moreover, its metabolism, internal disposition, and excretion are different and vary across animal and plant species and humans--in test studies and in nature. Until more is known, EPA will take a traditional, public health conservative approach to considering the potential risks of drinking water containing inorganic arsenic. EPA recognizes that the traditional approach may overestimate risk, as explained in the next section. Most of the 25-States data had reporting limits of less than 2 µg/L. In addition, the database includes multiple samples from the water systems over time and from multiple sources within the systems. The m...

Residential Vehicle Maintenance:
Automotive maintenance activities are considered storm water pollution “hot spots” producing significant loads of hydrocarbons, trace metals, and other pollutants. Wastes generated by residents performing their own car maintenance include: Solvents (paints and paint thinners) Antifreeze Brake fluid and brake lining Batteries Motor oils Fuels (gasoline, diesel, kerosene) Lubricating grease. Waste Reduction Minimize the number of solvents used to make recycling easier and to reduce hazardous waste management costs. Do all liquid cleaning at a centralized station to ensure that solvents and residues stay in one area. Locate drip pans and draining boards to direct solvents back into solvent sink or holding tank for reuse. See information below for used automotive fluid recycling.  Use Safer Alternatives Use non-hazardous cleaners when possible. Purchase recycled products such as engine oil, transmission fluid, antifreeze, and hydraulic fluid. Spill Clean Up Use as little water as possible to clean spills leaks, and drips. Use rags to clean small spills, dry absorbent material for larger spills, and a mop for general cleanup. Mop water can be disposed of via the sink or toilet to the sanitary sewer. Have absorbent pads and booms on hand for spill response. Good Housekeeping Employee training and public outreach are necessary to reinforce proper disposal practices. Monitor parked vehicles for leaks, and place pans under leaks to collect the fluids for proper disposal or recycling. Promptly transfer used fluids to recycling drums or hazardous waste containers. Do not pour liquid waste down floor drains, sinks, or outdoor storm drain inlets. Obtain and use drain mats to cover drains in the event of a spill. Store cracked batteries in leak proof secondary containers. Keep dumpster areas clean and free of hazardous wastes.

Stormwater for Construction:
SWPPP (Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan) The City of St. George requires all construction projects to obtain the proper permit and submit the appropriate SWPPP documents before disturbing any area as part of a construction project. The types of projects and permits are: Construction General Permit (CGP) This is generally applicable to projects that are over an acre in size, or under an acre if part of a Common Plan of Development that is over an acre. Common Plan of Development Permit (COPD) This permit is generally applicable to projects disturbing less than one acre, usually smaller housing projects on a single lot and disturbing less than one acre. Erosivity Waiver Permit (LEW) This permit specifically applies to projects that are 1-5 acres in size and have an "R" factor of less than 5. The “R” factor refers to the second revision of the universal soil loss equation. RUSLE 2 is a predictor of potential rainfall that could take place during the time of construction. This can be calculated at the following link: Erosivity Waiver Calculator   In addition to obtaining the applicable permit, operators, owners, or contractors will also be required to submit a SWPPP to the City Stormwater Department for correction and approval prior to the start of work. A SWPPP is a plan that details how you will manage your site during construction and how stormwater will be protected from all pollutants possibly generated by construction activities. It should be personalized to your site and target mitigation efforts, best management practices, and overall good housekeeping measures that are going to be followed. A SWPPP template can be found in the resources below as well as at Utah Department of Water Quality website below. Other documents such as a BMP map, Delegation ...

Food Service Establishments and FOG:
...nvironmental Protection Agency (EPA) through the State of Utah Division of Water Quality approved the St. George City Pretreatment Program.  The St. George City Pretreatment Program has been delegated primary responsibility for enforcing against discharges prohibited by 40 CFR 403.5 and applying and enforcing any national Pretreatment Standards established by the United States EPA in accordance with Section 307(b) and (c) of the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended by the Water Quality Act (WQA), of 1987.  The General Pretreatment Regulations set responsibilities for federal, state, local government, industry, and the public to achieve the National Pretreatment Program Objectives.     Publicly Owned Treatment Works, (POTW) collect wastewater from homes, commercial buildings, and industrial/commercial facilities and/or locations.  This wastewater leaves these locations through a complex series of underground sewer lines called the sanitary wastewater collections system.  The collection system transports wastewater to the POTW in Bloomington called the St. George Regional Water Reclamation Facility (SGRWRF).  Once the wastewater enters the SGRWRF, it is directed through a series of treatment technologies effectively removing harmful organisms and other contaminants.  Generally, POTW's are designed to treat domestic sewage only.  The SGRWRF is no exception to this point.  However, as with other cities, the SGRWRF also receives wastewater from industrial and commercial sources, (non-domestic).   The General Pretreatment Standards and Regulations establish legal responsibilities of Federal, State, Local government, industry, and the public to implement applicable Pretreatment Standards.  The Pretreatment Standards protect the SGRWRF from pollutants which may pass through or interfere with the SGRWRF treatment processes or which may contaminate the beneficial use of the SGRWRF sewage sludge, (i.e. Biosolids).   "Pretreatment" is also defined in Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR) Subsection 403.     DEFINITIONS: (Ord. 8-4-14.2)   Food Service Establishment (FSE): Any building, vehicle, place, or structure, or any room or division in a building, vehicle, place, or structure, where: (A) food is prepared, served, or sold for immediate consumption on or in the vicinity of the premises; (B) called for or taken out by customers; or (C) prepared prior to being delivered to another location for consumption.   Grease Interceptor: A structure or device designed for the purpose of removing and preventing fats, oils, and grease from entering the sanitary sewer collection system.  These devices are belowground units in outside areas with a minimum capacity of one thousand (1,000) gallons.     8-4-14.3:  Interceptor and Trap Installation Specifications: A. Grease and sand/oil interceptors, as described by the international plumbing code (IPC), shall be required of any commercial user when the SGRWRF determines they are necessary for the proper handling of wastewater containing FOGS in excessive amounts, except such interceptors shall not be required for residential dwelling units. B. Any commercial user utilizing a three (3) compartment sink shall be required to have either a grease interceptor or grease trap installed at its own expense and shall be required to comply with maintaining the device as outlined in the St. George city pretreatment operating plan. C. All construction plans for interceptors shall be submitted to SGRWRF for review and approval prior to installation. All interceptors shall be of a type, construction, and capacity approved by SGRWRF. D. All interceptors shall be constructed of impervious materials capable of withstanding abrupt and extreme changes in temperature. They shall be of substantial construction, watertight, and equipped with easily removable covers which are gas and watertight. E. All newly constructed commercial structures, strip malls, multi-tenant planned occupied buildings, or planned unoccupied buildings, shall install independent six-inch (6") wastewater discharge lines stubbed out within each designated future food establishment unit. If a new source commercial structure, strip mall, or multi-tenant building has planned occupancy by one or more businesses that do not generate FOG, and therefore do not need a grease interceptor, and the owner of the structure does not facilitate the installation of independent six-inch (6") wastewater discharge line and install a common interceptor, then no future food establishments shall be permitted, unless facilities are retrofitted for independent lines. F. All newly constructed “stand-alone” commercial structures, strip malls, multi-tenant planned occupied buildings, where a three (3) compartment sink will be utilized, will be required to install a grease interceptor. G. All existing commercial or industrial businesses shall have one year to install an interceptor upon notification by SGRWRF, where required by SGRWRF standards H.    Interceptors for businesses that have closed shall be dewatered and cleaned by the owner of said establishment.  A representat...
