The Petroleum, Oil, Grease and Sand Sector Control Policy (PDF) establishes City requirements for any facility that has the potential to discharge Petroleum, Oil, Grease and Sand (POGS) into the sanitary sewer system. POGS pollutants can contribute to sewer blockages causing sanitary sewer overflows and backups into homes and businesses and can interfere with equipment and processes in the sewer collection system and at the wastewater treatment plant.
