Section 730. Purpose and applicability

Part VII. General Pretreatment Regulations for Existing and New Sources of Pollution

A. This part establishes the responsibilities of state and local government, industry and the public to implement the national pretreatment standards and requirements to control pollutants which pass through or interfere with treatment processes in Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) or which may contaminate sewage sludge.

B. This part applies:

1. To pollutants from nondomestic sources covered by pretreatment standards which are indirectly discharged into or transported by truck or rail or otherwise introduced into POTWs;

2. To POTWs which receive wastewater from sources subject to national pretreatment standards; and

3. To any new or existing source subject to pretreatment standards. National pretreatment standards do not apply to sources which discharge to a sewer which is not connected to a POTW treatment plant.
