GENERAL PROVISIONS
§ 52.01 PURPOSE AND POLICY.
   (A)   Purpose and policy. This chapter sets forth uniform requirements for direct and indirect contributors into the publicly owned treatment works (POTW) for the City of Murray and enables the city to comply with all applicable state and federal regulations and statutes, including, but not limited to, the Clean Water Act of 1972 (33 United States Code [U.S.C.] Section 1251 et seq.), and the General Pretreatment Regulations (40 CFR 403).
   (B)   Objectives of this chapter include:
      (1)   To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the city's wastewater system [publicly owned treatment works (POTW)] which will interfere with the operation of the system or contaminate the resulting sludge;
      (2)   To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the city's publicly owned treatment works which will pass through the system inadequately treated, into the receiving waters so as to cause violations of the city's KPDES permit, odors in the atmosphere, or otherwise be incompatible with the POTW;
      (3)   To protect the POTW personnel who may be affected by the wastewater and sludge in the course of their employment as well as the general public;
      (4)   To promote reuse and recycling of industrial wastewater and sludge from the POTW;
      (5)   To provide for equitable distribution of the cost of operation, maintenance, and improvement of the POTW; and
      (6)   To enable the city to comply with the NPDES non-discharge permit conditions, sludge use and disposal requirements, and any other federal or state laws to which the POTW is subject.
   (C)   Application. This chapter shall apply to all users of the POTW. The chapter authorizes usage of individual wastewater discharge permits; provides guidance for contractors and property owners; provides for monitoring, compliance and enforcement activities; establishes administrative review procedures; requires user reporting; and provides for equitable setting of fees for usage of the POTW.
   (D)   This chapter shall apply to the city and to persons outside the city who are, by contract or agreement with the city, users of the city POTW. Except as otherwise provided, the Director of Public Works and Utilities shall administer, implement and enforce the provisions of this chapter.
