    • Reduce the discharge of total phosphorus to one milligram per liter or less
    • Meet any other water quality-based effluent limit established under section Minn. Stat. Sec. 115.03 subd 1, (e)(8), that is incorporated into a permit issued by MPCA that exceeds secondary treatment limits
    • Meet a total nitrogen concentration or mass limit that requires discharging ten milligrams per liter or less at a permitted design flow.
