A wastewater discharge permit shall include such conditions as are deemed reasonably necessary by the director of public works 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.
A. Wastewater discharge permits must contain:
1. A statement that indicates wastewater discharge permit duration, which in no event shall exceed five (5) years;

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 nonroutine discharges;
4. Development and implementation of waste minimization plans to reduce the amount of pollutants discharged to the POTW;
5. The unit charge or schedule of user charges and fees for the management of the wastewater discharged to the POTW;
6. Requirements for installation and maintenance of inspection and sampling facilities and equipment;
7. A statement that compliance with the wastewater discharge permit does not relieve the permittee 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;
8. Other conditions as deemed appropriate by the director of public works to ensure compliance with this chapter, and state and federal laws, rules, and regulations;
9. Limits on the instantaneous, daily, and monthly average and/or maximum concentration, mass or other measure of identified wastewater pollutants or properties;
10. Calibration frequency requirements for all devices used to measure wastewater flow and quality;
11. The compliance schedules that are required for the permittee's facilities;
12. The analyses of the wastewater discharges from the permittee's facilities that are to be established by the director of public works and are to be performed, as a part of the permittee's compliance effort, by a laboratory that is approved by the director of public works;
