The document discusses the management of fats, oils, and greases (FOG) in wastewater systems. FOG can come from food processing and industrial sources and cause up to 50% of sewer overflows if not properly managed. A good FOG management program aims to reduce spills and clogs, lower maintenance costs, and achieve regulatory compliance through proper interceptor sizing, regular cleaning, and FOG recycling or disposal. The presentation provides information on developing an effective FOG management program.
