Got to stay up on your BPM's :yes2:
 
and even on your BMP's.
 
Scare tactic marketing, nothing more nothing less. You can clean filters onsite and be totally EPA compliant with less than a 100 dollar investment.

Clean your hoods or they will catch on fire. (sounds like a scare tactic)

This release to state level EPA regs and fines are obamas answer to meet the budget deficiat created by the increase of EPA officials.

No they will catch fire and that is a fact.
We clean filters at military facilities, some times right on a dock over the water and are fully compliant with waste water catch from the operation. They looked at our system when we proposed the work, the coast guard watched us do the work and even afterwards they were happy with our system to clean filters with no run off. EPA eastern district of VA approved our process too as part of a military contract we have.
I would be more worried about the EPA sticking it's nose where it doesn't belong. As a example the EPA now allows a private company to review any EPA application to see if it violates any current laws. The private company has access to all the documents you provide to EPA ( don't think any industrial espionage goes on there):shrug:

Additionally EPA has continually used civil penalties with no judical reviews in a court of record for fines. They decide the fine and thier court enforces it. Look at this list and see how many of these cases were civil.... somewhat scary

The question is not with if you do it right or not. It is does everyone? If you choose to continue cleaning filters on site and do it with out exposure to your company than more power to you.

As far as my statement about scare tactics. I am correct not all hoods systems fall into the same fire hazard issues as the next but they are all approached with the same laws. If you own a bar and grill or part of a soup kitchen for a church.

The information I posted on my site is true and not doctored in any way. Education to your clients is not a scare tactic.

No one is attacking how you service filters. I'm sure with your time and grade you have found a reasonable way to do this. I can tell you though the restaurant you are cleaning the filters for are not repeating the same process when you are between cleaning services. Filter exchange sevice takes this problem out of the equation.
