[Amended 10-17-2022 by Ord. No. 2022-05]
A. Roof drains, yard drains, sump pumps and other piping shall discharge
to infiltration or vegetative BMPs and, to the maximum extent practicable,
satisfy the criteria for disconnected impervious areas (DIAs). When
it is more advantageous to connect directly to storm sewers, such
connections may be permitted by the Township with written authorization
from the Township. Roof drains, yard drains, sump pumps and other
piping shall not discharge directly to streets.
B. Roof drains, yard drains and sump pump discharge locations shall
be a minimum of 20 feet from an adjacent property or right-of-way,
subject to Township approval, unless the structure on which the discharge
location serves and is attached to is less than 20 feet from an adjacent
property or right-of-way, in such case the discharge location shall
be the further of the two locations.
