The purpose of this article is to prohibit the
spilling, dumping, or disposal of materials other than stormwater
to the municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) operated by the
Borough of Kinnelon, so as to protect public health, safety and welfare,
and to prescribe penalties for the failure to comply.
The spilling, dumping, or disposal of materials
other than stormwater to the municipal separate storm sewer system
operated by the Borough of Kinnelon is prohibited. The spilling, dumping,
or disposal of materials other than stormwater in such a manner as
to cause the discharge of pollutants to the municipal separate storm
sewer system is also prohibited.
Exception to prohibition:
A. Waterline flushing and discharge from potable water
sources.
B. Uncontaminated groundwater (i.e., infiltration, crawl
space or basement sump pumps, foundation or footing drains, rising
ground waters). In the event the uncontaminated groundwater is piped,
it must be directed into the nearest catch basin.
C. Air-conditioning condensate (excluding contact and
noncontact cooling water).
D. Irrigation water (including landscape and lawn watering
runoff).
E. Flows from springs, riparian habitats and wetlands,
water reservoir discharges and diverted stream flows.
F. Residential car washing water, and residential swimming
pool discharges.
G. Sidewalk, driveway and street wash water.
H. Flows from fire-fighting activity.
I. Rinsing equipment.
(1) Flows from rinsing of the following equipment with
clean water:
(a)
Beach maintenance equipment immediately following
their use for their intended purposes; and
(b)
Equipment used in the application of salt and
deicing materials immediately following salt and de-icing material
applications. Prior to rinsing with water, all residual salt and deicing
materials must be removed from equipment and vehicles to the maximum
extent practicable using dry cleaning methods (i.e., shoveling and
sweeping). Recovered materials are to be returned to storage for reuse
or properly discarded.
(2) Rinsing of equipment, as noted in the above situation,
is limited to exterior, undercarriage, and exposed parts and does
not apply to engines or other enclosed machinery.
