If the exemption request is denied, the Bonneauville Borough or its designee shall direct the property owner or developer to submit the information required to demonstrate that the proposed regulated activity complies with the requirements of this chapter or meets the exemption criteria.
(3) 
Exemption request approval shall be at the discretion of Bonneauville Borough, and shall be subject to the following:
(a) 
Bonneauville Borough may deny any exemption request or suspend or revoke any approved exemption request at any time for any project where Bonneauville Borough believes that the proposed regulated activity poses a threat to public health, safety, property, or the environment.
(b) 
Approval of an exemption request does not relieve the property owner or developer from other applicable requirements of this chapter or of other Bonneauville Borough ordinance or regulations.
(c) 
Bonneauville Borough reserves the right to deny an exemption request if a drainage problem is known or identified by Bonneauville Borough to exist or is expected to exist downstream from the proposed regulated activity.
A. 
Impervious area.
(1) 
The measurement of impervious areas shall include all of the impervious areas in the total proposed development, even if development is to take place in phases.
(2) 
For development taking place in phases, the total proposed impervious area within the SWM site plan must be used in determining conformance with this chapter.
(3) 
For projects that add impervious area to a parcel, the total impervious area on the parcel is subject to the requirements of this chapter; except that the volume controls in § 204-15 and the peak rate controls of § 204-16 do not need to be retrofitted to existing impervious areas that are not being altered by the proposed regulated activity.
B. 
Normally dry, open-top storage facilities, designed as such, shall completely drain both the volume control and rate control capacities over a period of time not less than 24 hours and not more than 72 hours from the end of the design storm. However, any designed infiltration volume at such facilities is exempt from the minimum twenty-four-hour standard, i.e., may infiltrate in a shorter period of time, so long as none of the stormwater intended for infiltration is discharged into the surface waters of the commonwealth.
C. 
Infiltration BMPs shall be spread out, made as shallow as practicable, and located to maximize use of natural on-site infiltration features while still meeting the other requirements of this chapter.
The low-impact development practices provided in the BMP Manual shall be utilized for all regulated activities. Water volume controls shall be implemented using the Design Storm Method in § 204-15A or the Simplified Method in § 204-15B. For regulated activity involving less than one acre of impervious coverage that does not require hydrologic routing to design the stormwater facilities, the applicant may select either methodology on the basis of economic considerations, the intrinsic limitations on applicability of the analytical procedures associated with each methodology, and/or other factors. The Design Storm Method in § 204-15A shall be used for all regulated activity involving greater than one acre of impervious coverage.
A. 
The Design Storm Method (CG-1 in the BMP Manual) may be used for any size of regulated activity. This method requires detailed modeling to achieve the following standards.
(1) 
The post-development total runoff volume shall not increase for all storms equal to or less than the two-year twenty-four-hour duration precipitation.
(2) 
For modeling purposes:
(a) 
Existing (predevelopment), non-forested, pervious areas must be considered meadow.
(b) 
Twenty percent of existing impervious area, when present, shall be considered meadow in the model for existing conditions.
B. 
The Simplified Method (CG-2 in the BMP Manual) is independent of site conditions and may be used for projects involving regulated activities proposing equal to or less than one acre of impervious coverage and that do not require design of stormwater storage facilities. When the Simplified Method is used to address stormwater management needs of new impervious surfaces, the following design standards shall be achieved:
(1) 
Stormwater facilities shall capture at least the first two inches of runoff from all new impervious surfaces.
(2) 
At least the first one inch of runoff from new impervious surfaces shall be permanently removed from the runoff flow and shall not be released into the surface waters of the commonwealth. Removal options for the first one inch of runoff include, but are not necessarily limited to, reuse and infiltration.
(3) 
Infiltration facilities shall be designed to accommodate infiltration of as much of the permanently removed runoff as site conditions will allow. If the soils within the project area do not allow for infiltration of the entire first one inch of runoff from new impervious surfaces, other forms of runoff volume control shall be used to achieve the required removal volume. Such measures may include, but are not limited to, vegetated roofs, biorention, and capture-and-reuse systems. In addition, the infiltration alternative authorized in § 204-15C may be employed.
(4) 
This method is exempt from the requirements of § 204-16, Rate controls.
C. 
Infiltration alternative. Where infiltration is not possible due to soil characteristics or is not desirable given other characteristics, water quality control may be proposed as an alternative to strict adherence to the volume control standards of § 204-15 of this chapter. Where water quality control is proposed, the following standards shall be achieved.
(1) 
At a minimum, the following documentation shall be provided to justify the proposal to reduce the infiltration requirements:
(a) 
Description of and justification for field infiltration/permeability testing with respect to the type of test and test locations.
(b) 
An interpretive narrative describing existing soils of the site and their structure as these relate to the interaction between soils and water characteristics of the site. In addition to providing soil and soil profile descriptions, this narrative shall identify depth to seasonal water tables and depth to bedrock and provide a description of all subsurface elements (restrictive layers, geology, etc.) that influence the direction and rate of subsurface water movement.
(c) 
A qualitative assessment of the site's contribution to annual aquifer recharge shall be made, along with the identification of any restrictions or limitations associated with the use of designed infiltration facilities.
(d) 
The provided documentation must be signed and sealed by a professional engineer or geologist.
(2) 
Water quality BMPs shall be implemented on all permanent stormwater discharges from the proposed project site to achieve pollutant removal efficiencies in accordance with the Table 204-15.1.

Design guidance from the most current version of the Pennsylvania Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual, or equivalent resource as precoordinated with Bonneauville Borough, shall be consulted when choosing design criteria for water quality BMPs.
A. 
Post-development discharge rates shall not exceed the predevelopment discharge rates for the one-, two-, five-, ten-, twenty-five-, fifty-, and one-hundred-year, twenty-four-hour storms. If it is shown that the peak rates of discharge indicated by the post-development analysis are less than or equal to the peak rates of discharge indicated by the predevelopment analysis for one-, two-, five-, ten-, twenty-five-, fifty-, and one-hundred-year twenty-four-hour storms, then the requirements of this section have been met. Otherwise, the applicant shall provide additional controls as necessary to satisfy the peak rate of discharge requirement.
B. 
For computation of predevelopment peak discharge rates, 20% of existing impervious areas, when present, shall be considered meadow.
Where an applicant proposes to utilize riparian buffers as the means to meet the requirements of this chapter, said riparian buffers shall be established and/or maintained in accordance with the BMP Manual or the publication Riparian Forest Buffer Guidance, published November 2010, by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, and as may be amended or updated.
A. 
Any drain or conveyance, whether on the surface or subsurface, that allows any nonstormwater discharge including sewage, process wastewater, and wash water to enter the waters of the commonwealth is prohibited.
B. 
No person shall allow, or cause to allow, discharges into surface waters of the commonwealth which are not composed entirely of stormwater, except:
(1) 
As provided in Subsection C below; and
(2) 
Discharges allowed under a state or federal permit.
C. 
The following discharges are authorized unless they are determined to be significant contributors to pollution to the waters of the commonwealth:

(16) 
Water discharged in well testing for potable water supplies.
D. 
In the event that the municipality or DEP determines that any of the discharges identified in Subsection C significantly contribute to pollution of the waters of the commonwealth, the municipality or DEP will notify the responsible person(s) to cease the discharge.
Roof drains, sump pumps, and footer drains should discharge to infiltration or vegetative BMPs and, to the maximum extent practicable, satisfy the criteria for DIAs. Discharges of each should be conveyed in such a manner as to not cause water problems for adjoining property owners.
No person shall modify, remove, fill, landscape, or alter any SWM BMPs, facilities, areas, or structures in a manner, without the written approval of Bonneauville Borough, with the exception of necessary maintenance activities such as mowing.
A. 
General criteria.
(1) 
Applicants may select runoff control techniques, or a combination of techniques, which are most suitable to control stormwater runoff from the development site.
