To implement this requirement regarding coffee shops, espresso stands, and espresso carts has become increasingly difficult as these types of establishments may or may not introduce grease into the sewer system, depending on the menu of the establishment. The Health Regulations of Thurston County and Washington State do not define the various types of restaurant facilities in a detailed enough manner in order to use those definitions to establish a threshold for the requirement of a grease interceptor. The City, therefore, needs to establish it’s own threshold. A grease interceptor will not be required for espresso stands, and espresso carts under the following conditions: Espresso carts which are not connected to water service and are not located in a building which could easily be converted to a restaurant use that would create the need for a grease interceptor. Examples: An espresso cart in front of QFC or Safeway would not require a grease interceptor while a cart located inside a converted home would. Espresso drive-through stands which do not contain sufficient area to provide inside or outside seating and the menu does not require a three compartment sink by the Health Department. Examples: A drive-through in a stand alone building large enough only for the employees would not require a grease interceptor while a drive through in a building with other uses would require an interceptor. Coffee shops with inside seating require a grease interceptor. The Community Development Department will implement this policy immediately and begin the update process to clearly include these requirements the development guidelines. .pdf GREASE~1.PDF Grease Trap.pdf
