(A) Wastewater discharge permits shall be subject to all provisions of this chapter and all other applicable regulations, user charges, surcharges, and fees established by the local unit or by the POTW. In addition, permits shall include any conditions determined to be reasonably necessary by the WWTP Superintendent to prevent pass through or interference, to protect the quality of the receiving waters, to protect worker health and safety, to facilitate POTW sludge management and disposal, to protect ambient air quality, and to protect against damage to the POTW. Unless determined by the WWTP Superintendent to be inapplicable to the user in question, all permits shall contain at least the following conditions:
(1) Limits on the average and/or maximum rate of discharge, time of discharge, and/or requirements for flow regulation and equalization.
(2) Limits on the average and/or maximum concentration, mass, or other measure of identified wastewater constituents or properties.
(3) Requirements for installation of pretreatment technology or construction of appropriate containment devices, or similar requirements designed to reduce, eliminate, or prevent the introduction of pollutants into the treatment works.
(4) Development and implementation of spill control plans or other special conditions, including additional management practices necessary to adequately prevent accidental, unanticipated, or routine discharges.
(5) Requirements for installation, maintenance, repair, calibration and operation of inspection and sampling facilities and discharge flow monitors.
(6) Specifications for monitoring programs which may include sampling locations, frequency of sampling, number, types, and standards for tests, and reporting schedules.
(7) Compliance schedules.
(8) Requirements for submission of technical reports or discharge reports.
(9) Requirements for maintaining and retaining plant records relating to wastewater discharge as specified by the WWTP Superintendent and affording the POTW access to those records.
(10) Requirements for notification of any new introductions of wastewater constituents or of any substantial change in the volume or character of the wastewater being introduced into the POTW.
(11) Requirements for the notification of any change in the manufacturing and/or pretreatment process used by the permittee.
(12) Requirements for notification of accidental or slug discharges, or discharges that exceed a discharge prohibition.
(13) A statement regarding limitations on transferability of the permit.
(14) A statement of the duration of the permit.
(15) A statement that compliance with the permit does not relieve the permittee of responsibility for compliance with all applicable pretreatment standards and requirements, including those that become effective during the term of the permit.
(16) A statement of applicable civil and criminal penalties for violation of discharge limitations, pretreatment standards and requirements, and compliance schedules.
(17) Requirements regarding development by a user of a pollutant reduction plan (e.g., for mercury or PCBs) or requirements regarding use of best management practices to reduce potential discharges of pollutants to the sewer or otherwise meet the purposes, policies and objectives of this chapter.
(18) Other conditions as determined necessary by the WWTP Superintendent to ensure compliance with this chapter and other applicable laws, rules and regulations.
(B) If it is determined that a user is discharging substances of a quality, in a quantity, or in a location that may cause problems to the POTW or the receiving stream, the POTW has the authority to develop and enforce effluent limits applicable to the user's discharge.
