PRETREATMENT ACTIVITES
• Completed 100% of grease trap inspections - a total of 172.
• Completed 100% sand, oil, grease trap inspections - a total of 84.
• Completed Industrial Pretreatment Program annual sampling and inspections for all six discharge
permittees.
• Completed follow up on triennial industrial survey. The survey list was provided by the City of
Farmington (based on a list of City of Farmington business licenses). This started out as a 3,000 item
list. After initial review, a total of 977 surveys were sent out, 383 surveys were returned. An
internet search and telephone interviews were conducted on the remaining surveys and most were
found to be either out of business or temporary businesses (Le. festival licenses). 26 businesses
were then inspected and six of these were identified as having either grease traps or sand
interceptors.
• Completed monthly TBLL sampling and data entry.
