KIMBALL, Tenn. – City administrators are working to come into compliance with federal regulations concerning the disposal of animal and vegetable fats, oils and grease.

On Thursday, the Kimball Board of Mayor and Alderman unanimously approved what is known as the FOG ordinance on first reading, a move to help the town regulate and enforce the pumping and disposal of the waste materials.

The town must get in line with rules set up by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, Mayor David Jackson said.
