Hello George,
Thank you for taking time to discuss the Edmonds PCC Natural Markets with me earlier
today. I understand that this is a complex project and other submittals will follow the
renovation of the building shell, including the grease interceptors. As we discussed earlier
today, the building will house the PCC natural markets, approximately 25,000 sq ft and in
addition, approximately 10,000 sq ft will house other tenants, most likely restaurants.
About June of 2007, I discussed the grease interceptor designs for the PCC Natural Markets
with Steve Bloedel of HV Engineering. The City required one grease interceptor (GI) for the
PCC Natural Markets and one separate GI for the tenant spaces. A maintenance agreement
will be required to be drawn up defining who is responsible for the GI maintenance.
Ultimately, the building owner is responsible for the GI maintenance. I may have an
agreement on file that you could base your GI maintenance agreement on.
The City uses the UPC to base their minimum sizing requirements. However, other variables
are taken into consideration to best estimate a GI size capacity that is effective for PCC
Natural Markets. We also consider menu, meals served, hours open, and performance of GIs
at other PCC Natural markets.
I am required to review the permit as submitted. I understand that a future submittal will be
coming regarding the required GIs. I will be happy to work with you and Steve Bloedel in
determining the sizing of these vessels. In my part of the review, I will assign the
Pretreatment review back to the applicant, awaiting the GI submittal. Please contact me if I
can be of any assistance.
Jon Lein
