New grease rules for food businesses
Beginning July 1, 2026, commercial kitchens, food establishments, and mobile vendors must install, run, and maintain properly sized grease control equipment. A licensed engineer or architect must design or approve it, and you must submit plans before construction or a major renovation; the regulator responds within 60 days. Follow plumbing codes, maker instructions, and local sizing formulas, and keep haul records (date, volume, hauler) for two years. You are exempt from installing equipment if inspections and sampling show you do not generate FOG that needs interception; if that changes, you must install. Regulators cannot force a blanket type, size, or location if your system works and sits outside utility rights‑of‑way and upstream; retrofits are required only after two exceedances in 30 days, and approved alternatives are allowed when outside units are impractical. Utilities must run a FOG program; regulators judge compliance by actual FOG discharge and your operations, and utilities may add just and reasonable surcharges that recover program costs from regulated businesses.
Septage haulers: disposal access and fees
Beginning July 1, 2026, a plant that accepted septage on or after January 1, 2023 must keep accepting septage from its unit or a neighbor, unless it is not designed, permitted, or operationally able. If a plant refuses against this rule, a septage hauler can ask the department to decide, and the department can order acceptance; decisions can be reviewed. A plant may charge a fair and reasonable fee for taking septage. A plant does not have to accept septage if doing so would violate its permit, upset treatment, or require capital or operational changes without full cost recovery.
New documentation rules for grease haulers
Beginning July 1, 2026, permitted grease haulers must take time‑stamped before‑and‑after photos for each service and keep them. You must keep records showing total volume pumped equals total volume disposed and give photos to IDEM or the regulator on request. After service, give the customer an invoice with the date, volume removed, and your business name.
