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) shown 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 pointers 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. , rin.+� FUNDING: None Jac. L.
