1.
Any drain or conveyance, whether on the surface or subsurface, that
allows any nonstormwater discharge including sewage, process wastewater,

system, riparian buffers, wetlands, or other waters of the commonwealth
is prohibited.
2.
No person shall allow, or cause to allow, discharges into the municipality's
separate storm sewer system or the waters of the commonwealth that
are not composed entirely of stormwater, except:

the municipality's separate storm sewer system or to the waters
of the commonwealth:
A.
Discharges from firefighting activities;
B.
Potable water sources including waterline and fire hydrant flushings,
if such discharges do not contain detectable concentrations of total
residual chlorine (TRC);
C.
Noncontaminated irrigation drainage water;
D.
Noncontaminated HVAC condensation and water from geothermal systems;
E.
Springs;
F.
Water from crawl space pumps;
G.

4.
In the event that the municipality determines that any of the discharges identified in § 23-801, Subsection 3, significantly contribute pollutants to the municipality's separate storm sewer system or to the waters of the commonwealth, or is notified of such significant contribution of pollution by PADEP, the municipality will notify the responsible person to cease the discharge.

Nothing in this section shall affect a discharger's responsibilities
under State law.
[Ord. No. 2022-2359, 12/13/2022]
1.
A.
Any drain or conveyance, whether on the surface or subsurface, that
allows any nonstormwater discharge, including sewage, process wastewater,
and wash water to enter a separate storm sewer system, and any connections
to the separate storm sewer system from indoor drains and sinks. Any
drain or conveyance that delivers nonstormwater discharges directly
into wetlands, riparian buffers, or other waters of the commonwealth
is prohibited.
B.
Any drain or conveyance connected from a commercial or industrial
land use to a separate storm sewer system, which has not been documented

1.
Roof drains and sump pump discharges shall not be connected to sanitary
sewers.
2.
Roof drain discharges:
A.
To the maximum extent practicable, shall discharge to infiltration
or vegetative BMPs, or directed to vegetated surface areas with adequate
erosion protection, positive drainage and adequate capacity; or
B.
Where the above discharge options are not feasible, may be directly
connected to storm sewers, roadside ditches, or other conveyance facilities
only if determined necessary or acceptable by the Municipal Engineer
on a case-by-case basis; or
C.
Where the above discharge options are not feasible, may be directly
connected to streets through the curb only if determined necessary
or acceptable by the Municipal Engineer; and
D.
Shall be considered in stormwater management calculations to demonstrate
that receiving BMPs and conveyance facilities have adequate capacity.
3.
Sump pump, foundation, and footing drain discharges:
A.
To the maximum extent practicable, shall discharge to infiltration
or vegetative BMPs with bypass valves, or directed to vegetated or
other surface areas with adequate erosion protection, positive drainage
and adequate capacity; or
B.
Where the above discharge options are not feasible, may be directly
connected to storm sewers, roadside ditches, or other conveyance facilities
only if determined necessary or acceptable by the Municipal Engineer
on a case-by-case basis; or
C.
Where the above discharge options are not feasible, may be directly
connected to streets through the curb only if determined necessary
or acceptable by the Municipal Engineer; and
D.
Shall be considered in stormwater management calculations to demonstrate
that conveyance and receiving facilities have adequate capacity. BMPs
receiving discharges from sump pumps, foundation, and footing drains
must be designed with a bypass valve to allow dewatering of the BMP.
[Ord. No. 2022-2359, 12/13/2022]
1.
No person shall modify, remove, fill, landscape, alter, or impair

of the municipality.
2.
No person shall place any structure, fill, landscaping, additional
vegetation, yard waste, brush cuttings, or other waste or debris into
a BMP or conveyance, or within a stormwater easement, that would limit
or alter the functioning of the stormwater BMP or conveyance, without
the written approval of the municipality.
