Reference: Secondary containment for storage of waste cooking oil at U.S. Army Garrison Fort Hamilton, New York. We have a Burger King and a Bowling Center on Fort Hamilton. These businesses serve cooked food and generate small daily volumes of waste cooking oil. They store the waste cooking oil/fat in dumpsters of approximately 300-gallon capacity. The dumpsters are provided by Darling Industries and they come and dump out the fat/oil into their transport truck when called by the food service service business. This is what food service businesses typically do in the Northeast with their waste cooking oil/fat. The 300-gallon containers provided by Darling Industries are single walled metal and are typically located outside the food service building off the parking lot. If you build a concrete secondary containment around these dumpsters it will be more difficult for the transport truck to pickup, dump and set back down the container and the secondary containment will rain water and might cause a mosquito problem (West Nile Virus in NY area). Please exempt such food service waste cooking oil/fat/grease containers from secondary containment requirements.
