AGENDA TITLE: Public Nearing to Consider Adoption of Amendment to the Sewer
Ordinance and Set Rates for Grease Interceptor Waste
MEETING DATE: February 5, 1992
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council hold a Public Nearing and adopt an
amendment to the sewer ordinance and set rate for grease
interceptor waste.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City's of Lodi's wastewater treatment facility has been
contacted by several local grease haulers investigating the
possibility of dumping collected grease interceptor waste
at the City of Lodi's treatment facility. These haulers have been taking the grease
waste to the City of Stockton and the County of Sacramento wastewater treatment
facilities. These two facilities have recently stopped accepting grease waste from
outside their service areas.
The City of Lodi's wastewater treatment facility has not been designed to process
grease waste and thus would be required to contract with a local grease recycler to
handle any grease accepted. The attachment (Exhibit A) shows the estimated volumes
and costs the City would incur by accepting grease waste.
If the City is to provide this service a fee of $0.25/gallon would have to be
adopted. Additionally, the attached Amendment (Exhibit B) would have to be adopted
in the Sewer Ordinance.
It should be pointed out that if the local grease haulers were to truck this grease
waste directly to a recycling firm in Stockton they would only pay $0.14/gallon for
disposal. One of the grease hauling firms indicated to City staff that in their
opinion (grease hauler) the recycling firm in Stockton has a monopoly and it is
unfair to have such. It is for this reaso he grease haulers have asked for our
consideration to accept grease.

EXHIBIT A
City Costs to Dispose of Grease interceptor Waste
A Stockton firm which would park a tanker at White Slough, charges $864.50 for
a full load which is 6175 gallons of grease. (The charge is the same whether
the tanker is full or not.) '.ie firm also charges $57.00 per day demurrage for
any time over 7 days that the tanker is kept.
Estimate of grease volumes that might be gen3rated and delivered to the White
Slough Water Pollution Control Facility:
o Approximately 75 grease interceptors in the City x 2 cleaning/year
x 1000 gals/cleaning = 2885 gals/week - 52 weeks/year = 412
gals/day.
6175 gals/tanker - 412 gals/day = 15 days to fill the tanker
o Disposal Costs
$864.50/tanker f 8 days demurrage x $57/day - 6175 gals/tanker
$0.214/gal
0 Laboratory Costs (associated with required testing to assure grease
isn't contaminated with hazardous waste)
6 test at $228 ea. per every 10 tanker loads at 6175 gals/tanker
_ $0.028/gal
0 Operations Costs (associated with receiving and permitting each
load)
Inspector time = 2.0 hour ($15.57/hr)/10 tankers = $0.0005/gal_
Operator time = 0.25 hour ($14.65/hr)/1000 gals = $0.0037/gal
0 overhead Costs (associated with billing)
49.12% x (Inspec. time $0.0005/gal + Op, time $0.0037/gal)
_ $0.0021/gal
o Total Cost
$0.214/gal + $0.028/gal + $0.0005/gal + $0.0037 + $0.002
$0.248/gal
If the city is to provide this service a fee of $0.25/gallon should be
collec'.ed to recover the City's cost.
