A. 
No person in the Township shall allow, or cause to allow, stormwater discharges into the Township's separate storm sewer system which are not composed entirely of stormwater, except 1) as provided in Subsection B below, and 2) discharges allowed under a state or federal permit.
B. 
Discharges that may be allowed based on a finding by the Township that the discharge(s) do not significantly contribute to pollution to surface waters of the commonwealth, are:
(1) 
Discharges from firefighting activities.
(2) 
Potable water sources including dechlorinated water line and fire hydrant flushings.
(3) 
Irrigation drainage.
(4) 
Routine external building washdown (which does not use detergents or other compounds).
(5) 
Air-conditioning condensate.
(6) 
Water from individual residential car washing.
(7) 
Spring water from crawl space pumps.
(8) 
Uncontaminated water from foundation or from footing drains.
(9) 
Flows from riparian habitats and wetlands.
(10) 
Lawn watering.
(11) 
Pavement washwaters where spills or leaks of toxic or hazardous materials have not occurred (unless all spill material has been removed) and where detergents are not used.
(12) 
Dechlorinated swimming pool discharges.
(13) 
Uncontaminated groundwater.
C. 
In the event that the Township determines that any of the discharges identified in § 134-801B significantly contribute to pollution of waters of the commonwealth, or is so notified by DEP, the Township will notify the responsible person to cease the discharge.
D. 
Upon notice provided by the Township under § 134-801C, the discharger will have a reasonable time, as determined by the Township, to cease the discharge consistent with the degree of pollution caused by the discharge.
E. 
Nothing in this section shall affect a discharger's responsibilities under state law.
A. 
The following connections are prohibited, except as provided in § 134-801B above:
(1) 
Any drain or conveyance, whether on the surface or subsurface, which allows any nonstormwater discharge including sewage, process wastewater, and wash water to enter the separate storm sewer system and any connections to the storm drain system from indoor drains and sinks; and
(2) 
Any drain or conveyance connected from a commercial or industrial land use to the separate storm sewer system that has not been documented in plans, maps, or equivalent records and approved by the Township.
A. 
Roof drains shall not be connected to streets, sanitary or storm sewers, or roadside ditches in order to promote overland flow and infiltration/percolation of stormwater where advantageous to do so.
B. 
When it is more advantageous to connect directly to streets or storm sewers, connections of roof drains to streets or roadside ditches may be permitted on a case by case basis as determined by the Township.
C. 
Roof drains shall discharge to infiltration areas or vegetative BMPs to the maximum extent practicable.
All drainage and discharge from a sump pump, roof drain, gravity drain, floor drain, surface drain, subsoil drain, foundation/footing drain, and/or leader pipe shall comply with all of the following:
A. 
The drainage and discharge location shall not create a public nuisance (as defined by the Township.)
B. 
The drainage and discharge shall not create a buildup of icing, standing water or algae growth on any street, sidewalk, public right-of-way, or adjacent property. In no case shall drainage and discharge be directed across a sidewalk or walkway or onto a street. If curbing is present, no drainage pipes shall pass through the curb to direct the drainage and discharge onto the street.
C. 
No drainage or discharge shall be directed to any on-lot sanitary sewer system or public sanitary sewer.
D. 
The drainage and discharge shall not be directed to any adjacent property in a manner that causes damage or creates a nuisance and shall not be discharged from a hose, pipe, or drain any closer than 20 feet from the property line unless permission is granted by adjacent property owner. No drainage or discharge pipes shall extend beyond the building envelope for the lot unless they are directly connected to an infiltration facility, detention basin, storm sewer pipe, or as approved by the Township.
E. 
To the maximum extent practicable (as determined by the Township Engineer), all drainage and discharge shall be directed to infiltration or vegetative BMPs or a storm sewer system connected to such BMPs, or when such BMPs are not available, to vegetated basins or other stormwater management areas with sufficient capacity.
F. 
Where connections in accordance with § 134-804E above are not possible, all drainage and discharge shall be directed towards and/or connected to a natural watercourse, drainage swale, or stormwater easement; if such direction and connection is possible, is reviewed by, and determined necessary and acceptable by the Township Engineer.
G. 
Where connections in accordance with § 134-804E and F above are not possible or approved by the Township Engineer, all discharge and drainage shall be discharged upon the property that produced it in such a fashion as to provide the greatest chance for it to infiltrate before exiting the property.
H. 
Drainage and discharge shall be considered in stormwater management calculations to demonstrate that conveyance and receiving facilities have adequate capacity.
A. 
No person shall modify, remove, fill, landscape, or alter any existing stormwater control or BMP unless it is part of an approved maintenance program without the written approval of the Township.
B. 
No person shall place any structure, fill, landscaping, or vegetation into a stormwater control or BMP or within a drainage easement that would limit or alter the functioning of the stormwater control or BMP without the written approval of the Township.
