935.01 GENERAL PROVISIONS; PURPOSE AND POLICY.

   This chapter sets forth uniform requirements for discharges into the POTW Authority Sewage Collection and Treatment Systems, and enables the POTW Authority to protect public health in conformity with all applicable state and federal laws relating thereto.

   The objectives of this chapter are:

   (a)   To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the municipal sewage system which will interfere with the normal operation of the system or contaminate the resulting sludge;

   (b)   To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the municipal sewage system which do not receive adequate treatment in the POTW, and which will pass through the system into receiving waters or the atmosphere or otherwise be incompatible with the system;

   (c)   To improve the opportunity to recycle and reclaim sewage and sludge from the system.

   This chapter provides for the regulation of discharges into the POTW through the enforcement of administrative regulations. This chapter does not provide for the recovery of operations, maintenance or replacement costs of the POTW or the costs associated with the construction of collection and treatment systems used by industrial dischargers, in proportion to their use of the POTW, which are the subject of separate enactments.

   The procedures, technical information and specific requirements necessary to accomplish these objectives are detailed in the City of Mansfield Pretreatment Program, which is administered through the POTW Authority as a part of the Public Works Department.
