The Stafford County Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing to adopt a program to deal with fats, oils, and greases in the county.
According to county documents, if the Board of Supervisors approves a mitigation program, it would collect fees to fund the inspections of commercial kitchens that have the highest potential for releasing fats, oils, and grease (affectionately referred to by county public works crews as FOGs) into the county sewer pipes.
Stafford County has had a long history of trying to deal with FOGs and the issues it causes for its infrastructure. The county estimates that 50 percent of sanitary overflows and backups are caused by the substances settling in the county's sewer system, as well as other related issues which cost Stafford $1.5 million annually to treat.
County leaders could charge $100 for an annual permit, and a re-inspection fee of $50. The Board would be able to set these fees to fund the set-up and operation of the program as long as they are considered reasonable under Virginia State Law.
