LAC 33:IX.6103. 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.
