(b) The delegated local agency shall include the following requirements in all IPP permits:

1. All permit requirements established in N.J.S.A. 58:10A-6f; and

2. All permit requirements for IPP/SIU permits established in 40 CFR 403.8(f)(1)(iii)(B)(1) through (6).

(c) Prior to approving any proposed new indirect user IPP permits, proposed renewed indirect user IPP permits, or proposed major modifications to any existing indirect user IPP permit, all delegated local agencies shall comply with the public notice and hearing requirement of 7:14A-19.10(e).

(d) All delegated local agencies shall include in their sewer use ordinance or rules and regulations the following permit issuance requirements:

1. Procedural and substantive requirements regarding written applications for IPP permits and indirect user authorizations to discharge. The application form must require the submission of full information as to the quantity, character, and composition of the proposed discharge;

2. Procedural requirements for the issuance, renewal, modification, suspension, revocation of IPP permits or indirect user authorizations. The procedures must include notice, opportunity to comment, and opportunity to request a public hearing on all draft IPP permits. The DLA shall issue a response-to-comments document at the time that a final permit is issued. The response-to-comments document shall:

i. State the action the DLA has taken on the final permit;

ii. Specify which provisions, if any, of the draft permit have been changed in the final permit, and the reasons for any such change; and

iii. Briefly describe and respond to all relevant comments on the draft permit raised during the public comment period, or during the public hearing, if any; and

3. The requirement that no IPP permit shall be issued, renewed, or modified by a delegated local agency so as to relax any effluent limitation unless the IPP permittee or applicant has complied with the requirements of N.J.S.A. 58:10A-6k.
