(a) An individual wastewater discharge permit shall include such conditions as are deemed reasonably necessary by the Authority to prevent Pass Through or Interference, protect the quality of the water body receiving the treatment plant's effluent, protect worker health and safety, facilitate sludge management and disposal, and protect against damage to the POTW. The Authority shall deny or condition any new or increased contribution of pollutants, or change in the nature of pollutants, to the POTW by industrial users where such contribution does not meet applicable pretreatment standards and requirements or where such contribution would cause the POTW to violate the NPDES permit.
(b) Wastewater discharge permits shall specify not less than the following:
(1) Fees and charges to be paid upon initial permit issuance;
(2) Limits on the average and maximum wastewater constituents and characteristics regulated thereby;
(3) Limits on average and maximum rate and time of discharge and/or requirements for flow regulations and equalization;
(4) Requirements for installation and maintenance of inspection and sampling facilities;
(5) Special conditions as the Authority may reasonably require under particular circumstances of a given discharge, including sampling locations, frequency of sampling, number, types and standards of tests and reporting schedules;
(6) Compliance schedules; and
(7) Requirements for submission of special technical reports or discharge reports where the same differ from those prescribed by this chapter.
(8) Effluent Limits. Effluent limits are based on applicable general Pretreatment Standards in 40 CFR Part 403, Categorical Pretreatment Standards, local limits, Best Management Practices and State and local law.
