    The regulatory authority may require other users to obtain wastewater discharge permits as necessary to carry out the purposes of this article.

    Any violation of the terms and conditions of a wastewater discharge permit shall be deemed a violation of this article and subjects the wastewater discharge permittee to the sanctions set out in sections 13-399 through 13-412 of this article.
