Steps
Confirm CT DEEP's FOG Model Program applies via a "No Registration - No Fee" General Permit covering all Class III and IV food service establishments discharging to sanitary sewers
Pull the current General Permit for the Discharge of Wastewater Associated with Food Service Establishments (reissued October 2025) for the specific technical requirements
Identify which FOG control equipment is required/approved: an outdoor grease interceptor, an active grease recovery unit (AGRU), or a super-capacity grease interceptor (SCGI)
Confirm that the local authorized agent (municipality) approves the specific equipment installed, even though DEEP holds final enforcement authority
Review the FOG fact sheets (compliance schedule, recordkeeping/reporting, BMPs) for procedural detail before assuming what's required
Known gotchas
Despite being a state general permit, CT DEEP encourages municipalities to enforce FOG issues locally first - a hauler or establishment may deal primarily with a town, not the state, day to day
"No Registration - No Fee" doesn't mean no compliance obligations - equipment installation, maintenance schedule, and recordkeeping requirements still apply
The permit was reissued October 2025, so older cached copies of the general permit or fact sheets may not reflect current terms
