Roof drains, driveway drains, and sump pumps shall discharge
to infiltration or vegetative BMPs and to the maximum extent practicable
satisfy the criteria for DIAs, as determined by the Borough (see Appendix
B). In cases where it is not practicable to discharge to
vegetated areas or BMPs, the Borough may permit roof drains, driveway
drains, and sump pumps to discharge to the road surface, alleys, or
directly to the storm sewer system. Such discharges shall be permitted
at the sole discretion of the Borough Engineer or staff.
No person shall modify, remove, fill, landscape, or alter any
SWM BMPs, facilities, areas, or structures in a manner without the
written approval of the Borough, with the exception of necessary maintenance
activities such as mowing.
