About each permit
FOG (Fats, Oils and Grease) Generator Permit
A local requirement for restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, cafeterias and similar food-service facilities. The City's FOG-Commercial page states that the FOG Program is a requirement of the Consent Decree issued by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Justice, carried out by issuing permits to foodservice and/or preparation facilities that generate and discharge FOG. The FOG Permit Application Form (Ordinance 89-16) states no application fee, and a fee for the FOG permit itself is not published in the City's FOG documents. The City's Pretreatment program charges and fees document (City Code § 25-216) sets $82.00 a month plus per-sample sampling and analysis fees for each industrial user and does not say whether that charge applies to a FOG-only food-service permit; contact the Environmental Quality Division (479-494-3938) for the cost. The application also asks a facility with a grease control device which permitted FOG hauler it uses.
