Wastewater discharge permits shall include such conditions as are deemed reasonably necessary by the Control 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, protect the public, facilitate biosolids (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 years;
(2) A statement that the wastewater discharge permit is nontransferable;
(3) Effluent limits based on applicable pretreatment standards;

(4) Development and implementation of waste minimization plans to reduce the amount of pollutants discharged to the POTW;
(5) Requirements for installation and maintenance of inspection and sampling facilities and equipment;
(6) 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; and
