(a) Each DSW permit shall include conditions meeting the following requirements, as applicable:

1. Technology based limitations determined in accordance with 7:14A-13.3 and 13.4. Technology based limitations include secondary treatment standards for DTWs, effluent limitations guidelines, and case-by-case limitations developed through a best professional judgment analysis. Applicability criteria are at 7:14A-13.3(b);

i. For DTWs, effluent limitations based on secondary treatment as defined at 40 CFR 133 and incorporated into N.J.A.C. 7:14A-12;

(1) Effluent limitations based on the best practicable control technology currently available (BPT);

(2) For conventional pollutants, effluent limitations based on the best conventional pollutant control technology (BCT);

(3) For all toxic pollutants, effluent limitations based on the best available technology economically achievable (BAT);

(4) For pollutants which are neither toxic nor conventional pollutants, effluent limitations based on BAT.

2. Water quality based limitations determined in accordance with 7:14A-13.6 when the Department has determined that the discharge causes, has the reasonable potential to cause, or contributes to an excursion above the SWQS. Water quality based limitations include limitations based on a TMDL adopted in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:15-7. Applicability criteria are at 7:14A-13.3(a);

3. Limitations based on a WQM Plan adopted in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:15. Applicability criteria are at 7:14A-13.3(d);

4. Limitations based on State effluent standards in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-12. Applicability criteria are at 7:14A-13.3(c); and
