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.
