It is the purpose of these Rules and Regulations to ensure that Wastewater Treatment Facilities are at all times maintained in acceptable working order and operated at their maximum level of efficiency to adequately transport and/or remove the maximum amount of objectionable constituents in wastewater, and to serve the purposes of the Federal Clean Water Act and applicable R.I. Gen. Laws. To achieve this purpose these Rules and Regulations provide the provisions for Owners of a Wastewater Treatment Facility to submit for approval and, once approved, adhere to an Operation and Maintenance Plan. Accordingly these Rules and Regulations establish a procedure for the evaluation and approval of Operation and Maintenance Plans by the Department of Environmental Management.
