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

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.
