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.
