Chapter 305 : Storm Sewer Systems
[Adopted 6-21-2004 by Ord. No. 03-26]
The purpose of this article is to prohibit the spilling, dumping, or disposal of materials other than stormwater to the municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) operated by the City of Bridgeton, so as to protect public health, safety and welfare, and to prescribe penalties for the failure to comply.
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 City of Bridgeton or other public body, and is designed and used for collecting and conveying stormwater.
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 to the municipal separate storm sewer system operated by the City of Bridgeton 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.
The following are exceptions to the prohibitions in § 305-3.
Uncontaminated groundwater, e.g., infiltration, crawl space or basement sump pumps, foundation or footing drains, rising groundwaters.
Air-conditioning condensate, excluding contact and noncontact cooling water.
Irrigation water, including landscape and lawn watering runoff.
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.
This article shall be enforced by the Police Department or other officials of the City of Bridgeton.
Any person(s) who continues to be in violation of the provisions of this article, after being duly notified shall be subject to a fine not to exceed $100, in the discretion of the Municipal Court.
The purpose of this article is to prohibit illicit connections to the municipal separate storm sewer system(s) operated by the City of Bridgeton so as to protect 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.
