(3) To improve the opportunity to recycle and reclaim wastewaters and sludges from the treatment works.
(c) This chapter provides for the regulation of direct and indirect dischargers to the POTW through the issuance of permits to certain non-domestic users classified as significant industrial users or certain commercial/other public authority users and through enforcement of general requirements for the other users; authorizes monitoring and enforcement activities; requires user reporting; and assumes that existing customer's capacity will not be preempted herein.
