Sec. 403.2  Objectives of general pretreatment regulations.

    By establishing the responsibilities of government and industry to 
implement National Pretreatment Standards this regulation fulfills three 
objectives:
    (a) To prevent the introduction of pollutants into POTWs which will 
interfere with the operation of a POTW, including interference with its 
use or disposal of municipal sludge;
    (b) To prevent the introduction of pollutants into POTWs which will 
pass through the treatment works or otherwise be incompatible with such 
works; and
    (c) To improve opportunities to recycle and reclaim municipal and 
industrial wastewaters and sludges.
