Chapter 69: Illicit Discharges, Activities and Connections to Storm Sewers
[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Board of the Town of Wilton 9-6-2007 by L.L. No. 3-2007. Amendments noted where applicable.]
Chapter 69 : Illicit Discharges, Activities and Connections to Storm Sewers
The purpose of this chapter is to provide for the health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens of the Town of Wilton 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:
Activities requiring authorization under the SPDES permit for stormwater discharges from construction activity, GP-02-01, as amended or revised, and those activities which are also regulated by Town of Wilton local law. These activities include construction projects resulting in land disturbance of one or more acres. Such activities include but are not limited to clearing and grubbing, grading, excavating, and demolition.
Any conveyances which allow any nonstormwater discharge, including treated or untreated sewage, process wastewater, and wash water to enter the MS4, and any connections to the storm drain system from indoor drains and sinks, regardless of whether said drain or connection had been previously allowed, permitted, or approved by an authorized enforcement agency; or
Any direct or indirect nonstormwater discharge to the MS4, except as exempted in § 69-6 of this chapter.
Owned or operated by the Town of Wilton;
Any building, lot, parcel of land, or portion of land, whether improved or unimproved including adjacent sidewalks and parking strips.
An employee, the municipal engineer or other public official(s) designated by the Town of Wilton to enforce this chapter. The SMO has been designated by the Town of Wilton to accept and review stormwater pollution prevention plans, forward the plans to the applicable municipal board and inspect stormwater management practices.
Prohibition of illegal discharges. No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged into the MS4 any materials other than stormwater except as provided in § 69-6A(1). The commencement, conduct or continuance of any illegal discharge to the MS4 is prohibited except as described as follows:
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: water line 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, 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 § 69-2, Definitions, of this chapter.
Such activities include failing individual sewage treatment systems as defined in § 69-7, 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 § 69-2 or activities contaminating stormwater as defined in § 69-8 the municipality may require implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) to control those illicit discharges and activities.
Any person responsible for a property or premise, which is, or may be, the source of an illicit discharge as defined in § 69-2 or an activity contaminating stormwater as defined in § 69-8, 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. The following are required when special conditions requiring no increase of pollutants or requiring a reduction of pollutants are determined, as defined in § 69-2 of this chapter. These requirements are above and beyond that already required by the Town of Wilton Town Code. The owner or operator of such individual sewage treatment systems shall be required to:
Avoid the disposal of cigarette butts, disposable diapers, sanitary napkins, trash and other such items;
This chapter shall be in full force and effect immediately upon filing with the Department of State after its final passage and adoption. All prior laws and parts of law in conflict with this chapter are hereby repealed.
