as or based on corresponding definitions in the New Jersey Pollutant
Elimination System (NJPDES) rules at N.J.A.C. 7:14A-1.2.
ILLICIT CONNECTION
Any physical or non-physical connection that discharges domestic
sewage, non-contact cooling water, process wastewater or other industrial
waste (other than stormwater) to the municipal separate storm sewer
system operated by the Borough, unless that discharge is authorized
under a NJPDES permit other than the Tier A Municipal Stormwater General
Permit (NJPDES Permit Number NJ0141852). Non-physical connections
may include, but are not limited to, leaks, flows, or overflows into
the municipal separate storm sewer system.
INDUSTRIAL WASTE
Non-domestic waste, including, but not limited to, those
pollutants regulated under Section 307(a), (b), or (c) of the Federal
Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. § 1317 (a), (b), or (c)).
MUNICIPAL SEPARATE STORM SEWER SYSTEM (MS4)
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 or other public body, and is designed and used for
collecting and conveying stormwater.
NJPDES PERMIT
A permit issued by the New Jersey Department of Environmental
Protection to implement the New Jersey Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NJPDES) rules at N.J.A.C. 7:14A.
NON-CONTACT COOLING WATER
Water used to reduce temperature for the purpose of cooling.
Such waters do not come into direct contact with any raw material,
intermediate product (other than heat) or finished product. Non-contact
cooling water may however contain algaecides, or biocides to control
fouling of equipment such as heat exchangers, and/or corrosion inhibitors.

b. Is retrofitted or replaced to meet the standard in Subsection
17-3.4 below prior to the completion of the project.
[Ord. No. O-108-10]
Storm drain inlets identified in Subsection
17-3.3 above shall comply with the following standard to control passage of solid and floatable materials through storm drain inlet. For purposes of this paragraph, "solid and floatable materials" means sediment, debris, trash, and other floating, suspended, or settleable solids. For exemptions to this standard see Subsection
17-3.4c below:
a. Design engineers shall use either of the following grates whenever
they use a grate in pavement or another ground surface to collect
stormwater from that surface into a storm drain or surface water under
that grate:
1. The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) bicycle-safe
grate, which is described in Chapter 2.4 of the NJDOT Bicycle Compatible
Roadways and Bikeways Planning and Design Guidelines (April 1996);
or
2. A different grate, if each individual clear space in that grate had
an area of no more than seven square inches, or is no greater than
0.5 inches across the smallest dimension.
|
Examples of grates subject to this standard include grates in
grate inlets, the grate portion (non-curb-opening portion) of combination
inlets, grates on storm sewer manholes, ditch grates, trench grates,
and grates of spacer bars in slotted drains. Examples of ground surfaces
include surfaces of roads (including bridges), driveways, parking
areas, bikeways, plaza, sidewalks, lawns, fields, open channels, and
stormwater basin floors.
|
b. Whenever design engineers use a curb-opening inlet, the clear space
in that curb opening (or each individual clear space, if the curb
opening has two or more clear spaces) shall have an area of no more
than seven square inches, or be no greater than two inches across
the smallest dimension.
c. This standard does not apply:
1. Where the Municipal Engineer agrees that this standard would cause
inadequate hydraulic performance that could not practicably be overcome
by using additional or larger storm drain inlets that meet these standards;
2. Where flows are conveyed through any device (e.g. end of pipe netting
facility, manufactured treatment device, or a catch basin hood) that
is designed, at a minimum, to prevent delivery of all solid and floatable
materials that could not pass through one of the following:
(a)
A rectangular space 4 5/8 inches long and 1 1/2 inches
wide (this option does not apply to outfall netting facilities); or
(b)
A bar screen having a bar spacing of 0.5 inches.
3. Where flows are conveyed through a trash rack that has parallel bars
with one inch spacing between the bars; or
4. Where the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection determines,
pursuant to the New Jersey Register of Historic Places Rules at N.J.A.C.
7:4-7(c), that action to meet this standard is an undertaking that
constitutes an encroachment or will damage or destroy the New Jersey
Register listed historic property.
