was named as one of the co-permittees to the Order, and was also designated
as Facilitator for the regional effort to coordinate development of the Programs
and implementation; and,
WHEREAS, the co-permittees of the Order determined that their interests
would best be met by conducting a comprehensive FOG Control Study to

two Phases; and,

conduct Phase I of the FOG Control Study. In general, the Study is evaluating
existing programs and technologies to determine the critical elements necessary
for implementing an effective FOG Control Program; and,
WHEREAS, in May, 2003, Phase I ended and resulted in a Draft Phase I
Report, which identified 12 programmatic building blocks for an effective FOG
Control Program. The Study also identified regional issues and 3 newer
technologies that must be addressed in Phase II of the FOG Control Study
before the Report can be finalized; and,
WHEREAS, in May, 2003, the District, on behalf of the co-permittees,
applied to the State Water Resources Control Board ("SWRCB") for a
Proposition 13 Watershed Protection Grant to help fund Phase II of the FOG
Control Study; and,
