A. 
Any drain or conveyance, whether on the surface or subsurface, that allows nonstormwater discharge, including, but not limited to, sewage, processed wastewater, and wash water, to enter the surface waters of the commonwealth is prohibited.
B. 
No person shall allow or cause to allow stormwater discharges into the Township's municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) which are not composed entirely of stormwater, except discharges allowed under a state or federal permit.
C. 
Discharges which may be allowed under the Township's NPDES permit based on a finding by the Township that the discharge(s) do not significantly contribute to pollution to surface waters of the Commonwealth by the Township are:
(1) 
Discharges from firefighting activities.
(2) 
Potable water sources including waterline and fire hydrant flushing.
(3) 
Uncontaminated water from foundation or from footing drains.
(4) 
Flows from riparian habitats and wetlands.
(5) 
Lawn watering.
(6) 
Irrigation drainage.
(7) 
Pavement wash waters 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.
(8) 
Routine external building wash down (which does not use detergents or other compounds).
(9) 
Air-conditioning condensate.
(10) 
Water from individual residential car washing.
(11) 
Dechlorinated swimming pool discharges (pursuant to PADEP requirements).
(12) 
Springs.
(13) 
Uncontaminated groundwater.
(14) 
Water from crawl space pumps or sump pumps.
(15) 
Diverted stream flows.
D. 
In the event that the Township subsequently determines that any of the discharges identified in § 198-44C of this chapter degrade the quality of surface waters of the commonwealth or waters of the United States by the Township, then the Township will notify the responsible person to cease the discharge.
E. 
Upon notice provided by the Township under § 198-44D, the discharger will have a reasonable time to cease the discharge consistent with the degree of pollution caused by the discharge.
F. 
Nothing in this section shall affect a discharger's responsibility under state or federal law.
A. 
The following connections are prohibited, except as provided in § 198-44C 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 regulated small MS4 or the surface waters of the commonwealth, and any connections to the storm drain system from indoor waste water drains and sinks; and
(2) 
Any drain or conveyance connected from a commercial or industrial land use to the regulated small MS4 or surface waters of the commonwealth which has not been documented in plans, maps, or equivalent records, and approved by the Township.
B. 
This prohibition expressly includes, without limitation, connections made in the past, regardless of whether the connection, drain or conveyance was previously allowed, permitted, or approved by a government agency, or otherwise permissible under law or practices applicable or prevailing at the time of connection.
A. 
Roof drains, sump pumps or foundation drains (or similar subsurface or surface drainage system) shall not be connected to streets or sanitary sewers and shall discharge to infiltration areas or vegetative BMPs to the maximum extent practicable to satisfy the criteria for and encourage disconnection of impervious surfaces. Roof drains may be connected to storm sewers or roadside swales only when those facilities ultimately discharge to stormwater management BMPs or water quality facilities, and only when approved by the Township Engineer.
B. 
Roof drains, sump pumps or foundation drains shall not discharge water within 10 feet of a public road right-of-way, sidewalk, walkway, trail, or street and shall be constructed to discharge to a dry well/seepage pit or aboveground entirely on the subject property. Sump pump and roof drain discharge pipes shall not extend beyond the building envelope for the lot unless they are directly connected to an infiltration facility, detention basin, storm sewer pipe or as otherwise approved by the Township Engineer. In no case shall roof drains, sump pumps or foundation drains discharge to the surface in a manner such that water flows directly onto an adjoining property or across paved walking surfaces, streets, driveways or parking areas.
No person, owner or other entity shall throw, deposit, leave, maintain, keep, or permit to be thrown, deposited, left, or maintained, in or upon any public or private property, driveway, parking area, street, alley, sidewalk, drainage swale, surface water of the commonwealth, stormwater runoff collection system, riparian corridor area, floodplain (area subject to inundation by the 100-year frequency storm event) or any component of the Township's municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4), any refuse, rubbish, garbage, litter, or other discarded or abandoned objects, articles, and accumulations, so that the same may cause or contribute to pollution. Waste deposited in streets in proper waste receptacles for the purposes of collection is exempted from this prohibition.
A. 
No person shall modify, remove, fill, landscape, or alter any existing stormwater management BMP, unless part of an approved maintenance program, and written approval of the Township has been obtained.
B. 
No person shall place any structure, fill, landscaping or vegetation into a stormwater management facility or BMP or within a drainage easement, without the written approval of the Township.
