SUMMARY: This rule contains general standards and criteria for industrial sources which discharge pollutants into sewer systems which are served by publicly owned treatment works (POTW's). Additionally, the rule establishes administrative requirement for municipalities which must maintain pretreatment programs which oversee discharges to local sewer systems. Specific effluent and performance standards are described pursuant to Chapter 525. The content of this rule is largely taken from federal regulations, and most references and terms are in the context of the Code of Federal Regulations. To aid the reader, a citation to the appropriate federal regulation is shown in each section of this rule.
