Chairman Eggert noted that there is a new recommendation, and Utilities Director Terry Pinto advised that they would like to have the proposed grease trap ordinance advertised for the regular BCC meeting of October 16, 1990. Commissioner Bowman suggested a change in Item #5 in Section VII on page 6. Instead of "Grease and/or pollutants may only be removed by approved haulers", it should say, "Grease and/or pollutants shall be removed only by approved haulers and disposed of at a location authorized by Indian River County and the Health Department." Commissioner Scurlock asked Director Pinto to define "grease", and Director Pinto explained that grease comes in many disguised forms, such as soap, cooking materials, etc. Chairman Eggert requested that a clearer definition of "grease" be included in Section II - Definitions. 66 M
