[Adopted 10-7-2010 by Ord. No. 13-10]
Chapter 470: Stormwater Quality Article VI Private Storm Drain Inlet Retrofitting
This purpose of this article is to require the retrofitting of existing storm drain inlets which are in direct contact with repaving, repairing, reconstruction, or resurfacing or alterations of facilities on private property, to prevent the discharge of solids and floatables (such as plastic bottles, cans, food wrappers and other litter) to the Township storm sewer system operated by the Township of Mine Hill so as to protect the public health, safety and welfare, and to prescribe penalties for the failure to comply.
For the purpose of this article, the following terms, phrases, words, and their derivations shall have the meanings stated herein, unless their use in the text of this article clearly demonstrates a different meaning. 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.
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 Mine Hill or other public body and is designed and used for collecting and conveying stormwater.
No person in control of private property (except a residential lot with one single-family house) shall authorize the repaving, repairing (excluding the repair of individual potholes), resurfacing (including top coating or chip sealing with asphalt emulsion or a thin base of hot bitumen), reconstruction or altering any surface that is in direct contact with an existing storm drain inlet on that property unless the storm drain inlet either:
Already meets the design standard set forth herein to control passage of solid and floatable materials; or
Is retrofitted or replaced to meet the standard outlined below prior to the completion of the project.
Storm drain inlets identified above shall comply with the following standard to control passage of solid and floatable materials through storm drain inlets. For purposes of this section, "solid and floatable materials" means sediment, debris, trash, and other floating, suspended, or settleable solids. For exemptions to this standard, see Subsection C below.
A different grate, if each individual clear space in that grate has an area of no more than seven square inches or is no greater that 0.5 inch across the smallest dimension.
Where the Township Engineer agrees in writing that this standard would cause inadequate hydraulic performance that could not practicably be overcome by using additional or larger storm drain inlets that meet these standards;
Where the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection determines, pursuant to the New Jersey Register of Historic Places rules at N.J.A.C. 7:4-7.2(c), that action to meet this standard is an undertaking that constitutes an encroachment or will damage or destroy the historic designation of any of the places listed in the New Jersey List of Historic Places.
The enforcement of this article shall be the responsibility of the Zoning Officer and/or the Construction Code Official. Any person who erects, constructs, alters, repairs, converts, maintains, or uses any building, structure or land in violation of this article shall be subject to the following penalties:
For each such violation and noncompliance, upon conviction thereof, be subject to the general penalty as established in § 1-3 of this Code.
The imposition of a penalty for a violation of this article shall not excuse the violation, or permit it to continue, such violation shall be remedied within a reasonable time, and each five days that such violation is permitted to exist shall constitute a separate offense.
