What it is. An approved grease control device (trap or gravity interceptor) plus participation in JEA's Commercial FOG program to keep FOG out of the sewer.
Who issues/enforces it. JEA — Industrial Pretreatment / Commercial FOG Program (utility). Gravity grease interceptors require JEA Grease Separation Device plan review and approval before installation.
When you need it. Any food service establishment connected to the JEA wastewater system; device sized/installed during build-out.
How to comply. Submit gravity interceptor plans for JEA review/approval; install the approved device.
Fees. Per the JEA program — see source (⟢ VERIFY).
What SpoonSeal tracks. The document(s) you upload for this requirement, with automatic renewal/expiration tracking (Current, Due Soon, Expired). Where the city publishes health-inspection results (e.g., NYC and Chicago), SpoonSeal syncs them automatically; elsewhere they can be added manually.
