Industrial user wastewater discharge permits shall contain, but not be limited to, the following:
(1) Statement of duration (in no case more than five years);
(2) Statement of non-transferability without, at a minimum, 30 day prior notification to the environmental officer and provision of a copy of the existing control mechanism to the new owner or operator;
