The purpose of this chapter is to provide for the health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens of the Village of Roslyn Harbor through the regulation of nonstormwater discharges to the municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) to the maximum extent practicable as required by federal and state law. This chapter establishes methods for controlling the introduction of pollutants into the MS4 in order to comply with requirements of the SPDES General Permit for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems. The objectives of this chapter are:
Whenever used in this chapter, unless a different meaning is stated in a definition applicable to only a portion of this chapter, the following terms will have the meanings set forth below:
Any direct or indirect nonstormwater discharge to the MS4, except as exempted in § 135-6 of this chapter.
The Village of Roslyn Harbor.
Owned or operated by the Village of Roslyn Harbor;
Discharge compliance with water quality standards. The condition that applies where a municipality has been notified that the discharge of stormwater authorized under its MS4 permit may have caused or has the reasonable potential to cause or contribute to the violation of an applicable water quality standard. Under this condition, the municipality must take all necessary actions to ensure future discharges do not cause or contribute to a violation of water quality standards.
303(d) listed waters. The condition in the municipality's MS4 permit that applies where the MS4 discharges to a 303(d) listed water. Under this condition, the stormwater management program must ensure no increase of the listed pollutant of concern to the 303(d) listed water.
Total maximum daily load (TMDL) strategy. The condition in the municipality's MS4 permit where a TMDL, including requirements for control of stormwater discharges, has been approved by EPA for a water body or watershed into which the MS4 discharges. If the discharge from the MS4 did not meet the TMDL stormwater allocations prior to September 10, 2003, the municipality was required to modify its stormwater management program to ensure that reduction of the pollutant of concern specified in the TMDL is achieved.
An employee, the municipal engineer or other public official(s) designated by the Village of Roslyn Harbor to enforce this chapter. The SMO may also be designated by the municipality to accept and review stormwater pollution prevention plans, forward the plans to the applicable municipal board and inspect stormwater management practices.
The following discharges are exempt from discharge prohibitions established by this chapter, unless the Department or the municipality has determined them to be substantial contributors of pollutants: waterline flushing or other potable water sources, landscape irrigation or lawn watering, existing diverted stream flows, rising groundwater, uncontaminated groundwater infiltration to storm drains, uncontaminated pumped groundwater, foundation or footing drains, crawl space or basement sump pumps, air-conditioning condensate, irrigation water, springs, water from individual residential car washing, natural riparian habitat or wetland flows, dechlorinated swimming pool discharges, residential street wash water, water from fire-fighting activities, and any other water source not containing pollutants. Such exempt discharges shall be made in accordance with an appropriate plan for reducing pollutants.
Cause or contribute to the municipality being subject to the special conditions as defined in § 135-2, Definitions, of this chapter.
Such activities include failing individual sewage treatment systems as defined in § 135-7, improper management of pet waste or any other activity that causes or contributes to violations of the municipality's MS4 SPDES permit authorization.
Best management practices. Where the SMO has identified illicit discharges as defined in § 135-2 or activities contaminating stormwater as defined in § 135-8, the municipality may require implementation of best management practices (BMPs) to control those illicit discharges and activities.
Any person responsible for a property or premises which is, or may be, the source of an illicit discharge as defined in § 135-2 or an activity contaminating stormwater as defined in § 135-8 may be required to implement, at said person's expense, additional structural and nonstructural BMPs to reduce or eliminate the source of pollutant(s) to the MS4.
Individual sewage treatment systems; response to special conditions requiring no increase of pollutants or requiring a reduction of pollutants. Where individual sewage treatment systems are contributing to the municipality's being subject to the special conditions as defined in § 135-2 of this chapter, the owner or operator of such individual sewage treatment systems shall be required to:
In accordance with 10 NYCRR Appendix 75A, to the maximum extent practicable.
Illicit discharges in emergency situations.
Penalties. Any person who shall violate any provision of this chapter shall be guilty of a violation and shall, upon conviction, be punishable as provided in Chapter 1, Article I, of this Code.
Where a person has violated a provision of this chapter, he/she may be eligible for alternative remedies in lieu of a civil penalty, upon recommendation of the Village Attorney and concurrence of the Municipal Code Enforcement Officer, where:
The remedies listed in this chapter are not exclusive of any other remedies available under any applicable federal, state, local law or chapter of this Code and it is within the discretion of the authorized enforcement agency to seek cumulative remedies.
No provision of this chapter shall be construed to repeal, modify or constitute an alternative to any lawful zoning regulation which is more restrictive than this chapter.
