   A.   A wastewater discharge permit must contain the following conditions:
      1.   A statement that indicates the individual wastewater discharge permit issuance date, effective date, expiration date, and permit duration, which in no event shall exceed five (5) years.

      3.   Effluent limits, including Best Management Practices, based on applicable general Pretreatment Standards and requirements, categorical Pretreatment Standards and requirements, local limits, and State and local law;
      4.   Self-monitoring, sampling, reporting, notification, submittal of technical reports, compliance schedules, and record keeping requirements. These requirements shall include an identification of pollutants to be monitored, sampling location, sampling frequency, and sample type based on federal, state, and local law;

      1.   Limits on the average and/or maximum rate of discharge, time of discharge, and/or requirements for flow regulation and equalization;
      2.   Requirements for the installation of pretreatment technology, pollution control, or construction of appropriate containment devices, designed to reduce, eliminate, or prevent the introduction of pollutants into the treatment works;
      3.   Requirements for the development and implementation of spill control plans or other special conditions including management practices necessary to adequately prevent accidental, unanticipated, or routine discharges;
