GENERAL PROVISIONS
§ 52.001  PURPOSE AND POLICY.
   (A)   This chapter sets forth uniform requirements for users of the publicly owned treatment works (POTW) for the town and enables the town to comply with all applicable state and federal laws including the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. §§ 1251 et seq.), the General Pretreatment Regulations (40 C.F.R. part 403), and the Virginia Permit Regulation (12 VAC 5-590-190 et seq.). The objectives of this chapter are:
      (1)   To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the POTW that will interfere with the operation of the POTW;
      (2)   To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the POTW which will pass through the POTW, inadequately treated, into receiving waters or otherwise be incompatible with the POTW;
      (3)   To ensure that the quality of the wastewater treatment plant sludge is maintained at a level which allows its use and disposal in compliance with applicable statutes and regulations;
      (4)   To protect both POTW personnel who may be affected by wastewater and sludge in the course of their employment and to protect the general public;
      (5)   To promote reuse and recycling of industrial wastewater and sludge from the POTW;
      (6)   To provide for fees for the equitable distribution of the cost of operation, maintenance and improvement of the POTW; and
      (7)   To enable the town to comply with its VPDES permit conditions, sludge use and disposal requirements, and any other federal or state laws to which the POTW is subject.
   (B)   This chapter shall apply to all users of the POTW. This chapter authorizes the issuance of wastewater discharge permits; provides for monitoring, compliance and enforcement activities; establishes administrative review procedures; requires industrial user reporting; and provides for the setting of fees for the equitable distribution of costs resulting from the program established herein.
