(A) This chapter sets forth standards and requirements for users of the Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) for the City of Tontitown, Arkansas, and enables the Control Authority to comply with all applicable federal and state laws, including the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and the General Pretreatment Regulations (40 C.F.R.

(4) To improve opportunities for reuse and recycling of wastewater and biosolids (sludge) from the POTW;
(5) To enable the city to comply with its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit conditions, biosolids (sludge) use and disposal requirements, and any other federal or state laws to which the POTW is subject;
(6) To provide for penalties for violations of the regulations established herein; and
(7) To promote the implementation of pollution prevention practices by users of the POTW.
