The purpose of this chapter is to prohibit the spilling, dumping or disposal of materials other than stormwater to the municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) operated by the Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills so as to protect the public health, safety and welfare and to prescribe certain penalties for failure to comply.
Word usage. When not inconsistent with the context, words used in the present tense include the future, words used in the plural number include the singular number, and words used in the singular number include the plural number. The word "shall" is always mandatory and not merely directory. The definitions below are the same as or based on corresponding definitions in the New Jersey Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NJPDES) rules at N.J.A.C. 7:14A-1.2.
Any physical or nonphysical connection that discharges domestic sewage, noncontact cooling water, process wastewater or other industrial waste (other than stormwater) to the municipal separate storm sewer system operated by the Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills, unless that discharge is authorized under a NJPDES permit other than the Tier A Municipal Stormwater General Permit (NJPDES Permit Number NJ0141852). Nonphysical connections may include, but are not limited to, leaks, flows or overflows into the municipal separate storm sewer system.
A conveyance or system of conveyances (including roads with drainage systems, municipal streets, catch basins, curbs, gutters, ditches, man-made channels or storm drains) that is owned or operated by the Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills and is designed and used for collecting and conveying stormwater.
Water used to reduce temperature for the purpose of cooling. Such waters do not come into direct contact with any raw material, intermediate product (other than heat) or finished product. Noncontact cooling water may, however, contain algaecides or biocides to control fouling of equipment such as heat exchangers and/or corrosion inhibitors.
Any individual, corporation, company, partnership, firm or association or political subdivision of this state subject to municipal jurisdiction.
Any water which, during manufacturing or processing, comes into direct contact with or results from the production or use of any raw material, intermediate product, finished product, byproduct or waste product. Process wastewater includes, but is not limited to, leachate and cooling water other than noncontact cooling water.
Any waste container that a person controls whether owned, leased, or operated, including dumpsters, trash cans, garbage pails and plastic trash bags.
Water resulting from precipitation (including rain and snow) that runs off the land's surface, is transmitted to the subsurface, is captured by separate storm sewers or other sewerage or drainage facilities or is conveyed by snow removal equipment.
The spilling, dumping or disposal of materials other than stormwater into the municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) operated by the Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills is prohibited. The spilling, dumping or disposal of materials other than stormwater in such a manner as to cause the discharge of pollutants to the municipal separate storm sewer system is also prohibited.
Any person who controls, whether owned, leased or operated, a refuse container or dumpster must ensure that such container or dumpster is covered at all times and shall prevent the spilling out or overflowing of refuse.
Any person who owns, leases or otherwise uses a refuse container or dumpster must ensure that such container or dumpster does not leak or otherwise discharge liquids, semiliquids, or solids to the municipal separate storm sewer system(s) operated by the Township.
Water line flushing and discharges from potable water sources.
Uncontaminated groundwater (e.g., infiltration, crawl space or basement sump pumps, foundation or footing drains, rising groundwaters).
Residential car washing water and residential swimming pool discharges.
Equipment used in the application of salt and de-icing materials immediately following salt and de-icing material applications. Prior to rinsing with clean water, all residual salt and de-icing materials must be removed from equipment and vehicles to the maximum extent practicable using dry cleaning methods (e.g., shoveling and sweeping). Recovered materials are to be returned to storage for reuse or properly discarded. Rinsing of equipment, as noted in the above situation, is limited to exterior, undercarriage and exposed parts and does not apply to engines or other enclosed machinery.
Litter receptacles, other than dumpsters or other bulk containers.
Refuse containers at facilities authorized to discharge stormwater under a valid NJDES permit.
Large bulky items, such as furniture, bound carpet and padding, and white goods placed curbside for pickup.
No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged through an illicit connection to the municipal separate storm sewer system operated by the Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills any domestic sewage, noncontact cooling water, process wastewater or any other industrial waste (other than stormwater).
Is retrofitted or replaced to meet the standard in Subsection B below prior to the completion of the project.
Design standard. Storm drain inlets shall comply with the following standard to control passage of solid and floatable materials through storm drain inlets. For purposes of this subsection, "solid and floatable materials" means sediment, debris, trash, and other floating, suspended, or settleable solids. For exemptions to this standard see Subsection B(3) below.
A different grate, if each individual clear space in that grate has an area of no more than 7.0 square inches, or is no greater than 0.5 inch across the smallest dimension.
Whenever design engineers use a curb-opening inlet, the clear space in that curb opening (or each individual clear space, if the curb opening has two or more clear spaces) shall have an area of no more than 7.0 square inches, or be no greater than 2.0 inches across the smallest dimension.
Permit required. To ensure compliance with § 357-6 of this chapter, it shall be unlawful for any person to resurface or restripe any parking lot or parking area without first obtaining a permit and making payment of a fee of $50 to the Division of Engineering.
Editor's Note: This ordinance also redesignated former § 357-6 as § 357-7.
This chapter shall be enforced by the Health Officer, or any of his authorized representatives, or the Police Department.
Any person violating this chapter shall be subject to any penalties imposed pursuant to § 1-17 of the Code.
