If you plan on doing work within the Right-of-Way, you must submit a Right-of-Way Permit Application prior to construction.

A Right-of-Way Permit is also required if you a planning on utilizing an on-street, public parking space for loading, storage, moving, and similar activities that go beyond the allowable posted time limit. 

Please submit your application and supporting documentation online at www.buildingpermits.oregon.gov. 

The Preferred Pumper Program is a registry of grease trap/interceptor companies that have committed to cleaning grease removal devices meeting certain criteria established by regional municipalities. Please click the link below for more information about Preferred Pumpers.

Q. Does my facility need a grease trap?
A. Milwaukie Municipal Code requires that Food Service Facilities (FSF) that prepare and/or package food or beverages for sale or consumption are required to install a Grease Removal Device (GRD).

Storytime is on a break during May. Join us again in June!

• Store used fryer oil in covered containers for recycling.
• Use strainers in sink drains to prevent food solids from filling up Grease Removal Devices (GRDs) prematurely.
• Post educational signs near sinks or drains for employees to follow BMPs. The city may be able to provide materials.
• Employees have the biggest impact on the condition of your GRD, train all kitchen staff on reducing the amount of FOG to kitchen drains.
• Practice dry cleanup- scrape cookware, plates into trash rather than rinsing prior to washing.

City of Milwaukie staff reserve the right to inspect Food Service Facilities for the purpose of establishing compliance with FOG and stormwater regulations. The inspectors will make efforts to not perform these inspections during busy lunch times, but they will occur during business hours.
