[Adopted 7-7-2009 (Title
15, Ch. 2, of the 2004 Code)]
This article shall apply to all discharges to the MS4 and to
all activities that can reasonably be expected to result in a discharge
to the MS4.
The Town of Vinland shall administer, implement and enforce
the provisions of this article. Any powers granted or duties imposed
by this article upon the authorized agency may be delegated by the
Town Board to persons or entities acting in the beneficial interest
of or in the employ of the Town.
The standards set forth herein and promulgated to this article
are minimum standards. Therefore, this article does not intend nor
imply that compliance by any person will ensure that there will be
no contamination, pollution nor unauthorized discharges.
The authorized agency shall be permitted to enter and inspect
facilities subject to regulation under this article as often as may
be necessary to determine compliance with this article. If a discharger
has security measures in force which require proper identification
and clearance before entry into its premises, the discharger shall
make the necessary arrangements to allow access to representatives
of the authorized agency.
Notwithstanding other requirements of law, as soon as any person
responsible for a facility or operation or responsible for emergency
response for a facility or operation has information of any known
or suspected release of materials which are resulting or may result
in illicit discharges or pollutants discharging into stormwater, the
MS4 or a water of the state, said person shall take all necessary
steps to ensure the discovery, containment and cleanup of such release.
In the event of such a release of hazardous materials, said person
shall immediately notify emergency response agencies of the occurrence
via emergency dispatch services. In the event of a release of nonhazardous
materials, said person shall notify the authorized agency in person
or by phone or facsimile no later than the next business day. Notifications
in person or by phone shall be confirmed by written notice addressed
and mailed to the authorized agency within three business days of
the phone notice.
