Wastewater contribution permits shall specify no less than the following:
(A) All wastewater contribution permits shall be issued for a three year duration, subject to amendment or revocation as provided in this chapter. A permit may be issued for a shorter or longer period or may be stated to expire on a specific date, however, permit duration shall not be longer than five years. The user shall apply for permit reissuance at least 180 days prior to the expiration of the user's existing permit.
(B) Wastewater contribution permits are issued for a specific process or operation. A wastewater contribution permit shall not be reassigned or transferred or sold to a new owner, new user, different premises or a new or changed operation without prior notification to the POTW and provision of a copy of the existing wastewater contribution permit to the new owner or operator. Any succeeding owner or user shall also comply with the terms and conditions of the existing permit. The POTW may set additional conditions, such as an application requirement.
(C) Effluent limitations shall be based on applicable general pretreatment standards in 40 CFR Part 403, categorical pretreatment standards, local limits and state and local laws. If in establishing appropriate local limits by the POTW, it may become necessary, due to limited sampling points, to apply the combined wastestream formula, as provided in 40 CFR 403.6 (e)(4), to determine the most stringent limit.
(D) Self-monitoring, sampling, reporting, notification and recordkeeping requirements, including an identification of the pollutants to be monitored, sampling location, sampling frequency and sample type, based on the applicable general pretreatment standards in 40 CFR Part 403, categorical pretreatment standards, local limits and State and local law.

(F) Fees and charges to be paid upon initial issuance.
(G) Limits on the average and maximum wastewater constituents and characteristics regulated thereby.
(H) Limits on average and maximum rate and time of discharge and/or requirements for flow regulations and equalization.
(I) Requirements for installation and maintenance of inspection and sampling facilities.
(J) Compliance schedule.
(K) Special conditions as the POTW may reasonably require under particular circumstances of a given discharge including but not limited to sampling locations, frequency of sampling, number, types, and standards for tests and reporting schedule.
(L) Requirements for submission of special technical reports or discharge reports where same differ from those prescribed by this chapter.
(M) Requirements for maintaining and retaining plant records relating to wastewater discharge as specified by the POTW, and affording POTW access thereto.
(N) Requirements for notification of the POTW of any new introduction of wastewater constituents or any substantial change in the volume or character of the wastewater constituent being introduced into the wastewater treatment system.
