The purpose of this chapter is to regulate industrial waste pretreatment facilities and discharge of industrial waste into the Wastewater Facility (WWF) operated by the South Central Regional Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Board and providing for pollutant limitations, data collection, monitoring, and sampling, and providing for penalties for the violation thereof for the following purposes:
(a) To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the city's wastewater system which will interfere with the normal operation of the wastewater collection system or the wastewater treatment plant, or which will contaminate the resulting municipal sludge;
(b) To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the city's wastewater collection system which do not receive adequate treatment by the WWF, and which will pass through the system into receiving waters or the atmosphere or otherwise be incompatible with the system;
(c) To protect the Wastewater Facility workers and the general public;
(d) To provide for fees for the equitable distribution of the costs of operation, maintenance, and improvement of the Wastewater Facility;
(e) To improve the opportunity to recycle and reclaim wastewater and sludge from the system; and
(f) To enable the city to comply with its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit conditions, sludge use and disposal requirements, and any other federal or state laws to which the WWF is subject.
