This ordinance sets forth uniform requirements for users of the publicly owned treatment works (POTW) for the City of Snohomish and enables the City to comply with all applicable State and Federal laws, including the Clean Water Act and the General Pretreatment Regulations (40 CFR Part 403). The objectives of this ordinance are as follows:

A. To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the POTW that will interfere with the operation of the POTW.

B. To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the POTW which will pass through the POTW, inadequately treated, into receiving waters or which are otherwise incompatible with the POTW.

C. To maintain a quality of wastewater treatment plant biosolids at a level which allows their use and disposal in compliance with applicable statutes and regulations.

D. To protect the POTW personnel who may be affected by wastewater, wastewater solids and biosolids in the course of their employment and to protect the general public.

E. To improve the opportunity to recycle and reclaim wastewater and biosolids from the POTW as the opportunity becomes available and viable. (Ord. 2351, 2018)
