Most jurisdictions require a sampling well on the discharging side of the interceptor OPERATION so that an inspector can verify proper treatment or maintenance.The purpose of the lint interceptor is to receive the liquid lint/silt laden wastewater and retain it for a sufficient amount of time, which allows for cool-down, thus promoting separationMAINTENANCEand fall-out of the lint/silt. The lint interceptor should be cleaned (or pumped out) routinely to prevent the escape of appreciable quantities A lint interceptor, or commonly referred to as a lint trap,of lint, silt and suspended solids.
