As used in this article, the following terms
shall have the meaning indicated:
MUNICIPAL SEPARATE STORM WATER SEWER SYSTEM
A conveyance or system of conveyances (including roads with
drainage systems, municipal streets, catch basins, curbs, gutters,
ditches, man-made channels, or storm drains) that is owned or operated
by the Borough of Haddonfield or other public body, and is designed
and used for collecting and conveying stormwater.
PERSON
Any individual, corporation, company, partnership, firm,
association, or political subdivision of this state subject to municipal
jurisdiction.
STORMWATER
Water resulting from precipitation (including rain and snow)
that runs off the land's surface, is transmitted to the subsurface,
is captured by separate storm sewers or other sewerage or drainage
facilities, or is conveyed by snow-removal equipment.
The spilling, dumping, or disposal of materials
other than stormwater to the municipal separate storm sewer system
operation by the Borough of Haddonfield 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.
Exceptions to prohibitions include:
A. Water line flushing and discharges from potable water
sources.
B. Uncontaminated groundwater (e.g., infiltration, crawl
space or basement sump pumps, foundation or footing drains, rising
groundwaters).
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 activities.
I. Flows from rinsing of the following equipment with
clean water:
(1) Beach maintenance equipment immediately following
their use for their intended purposes; and
(2) Equipment used in the application of sale and de-icing
materials immediately following salt and de-icing material applications.
Prior to rinsing with clean water, all residual salt and de-icing
materials must be removed from equipment and vehicles to the maximum
extent practicable using dry cleaning methods (e.g., shoveling and
sweeping). Recovered materials are to be returned to storage for reuse
or properly discarded.
(3) 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.
Violations of this article shall be punishable as provided in Chapter
