A Wastewater Discharge Permit shall include such conditions as are deemed reasonably necessary by the Coordinator to prevent Pass Through, Interference or Upset, protect the quality of the water body receiving the WWTP effluent, protect the health and safety of village personnel, facilitate wastewater, effluent, and biosolids reduction, reuse, and recycling, and protect against damage to the POTW.
A. Wastewater Discharge Permits shall contain:
1. A statement that indicates wastewater discharge permit duration;

4. Requirements for the development and implementation of an SSC Plan or other special conditions including management practices necessary to adequately prevent accidental, unanticipated, or non-routine discharges;
5. Development and implementation of waste minimization plans to reduce the amount of pollutants discharged to the POTW;
6. Development and implementation of best management practices plans to reduce the amount of pollutants discharged to the POTW;
7. The unit charge and/or schedule of strength fees for the management of the wastewater discharged to the POTW;
8. Requirements for installation and maintenance of inspection and sampling facilities and equipment;
9. Requirements for the zero discharge of process waste regulated by a National Categorical Pretreatment Standard or local standard;
10. Documentation of any monitoring waiver approved by the Coordinator for categorically regulated pollutants found to be not present and requirements to re-institute monitoring in the event that a waived pollutant is found to be present or is expected to be present because of changes that occur in the user's operation.
11. A statement that compliance with the wastewater discharge permit does not relieve the user of responsibility for compliance with all applicable federal and state pretreatment standards, including those which become effective during the term of the wastewater discharge permit; and
12. Other conditions as deemed appropriate by the Coordinator to ensure compliance with this chapter, and state and Federal laws, rules, and regulations.
D. General Wastewater Discharge Permits for Food Service Establishments. If a general wastewater discharge permit for an FSE is issued, the general Permit shall include grease interceptor requirements with operation and maintenance requirements. All FSE shall implement a BMP plan in its operation to minimize the Discharge of FOG to the POTW. Detailed requirements for BMP plans shall be specified in the Permit. This may include, but is not limited to:
1. Installation of drain screens;
2. Segregation and collection of waste cooking oil;
3. Disposal of food waste into the trash or garbage;
