Any drain or conveyance, whether on the surface or subsurface, that
allows any nonstormwater discharge including sewage, process wastewater
and wash water to enter a regulated small MS4 or to enter the waters
of this commonwealth is prohibited.
No person shall allow or cause to allow discharges into a regulated small MS4 or discharges into waters of this 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.

to be significant contributors to pollution of a regulated small MS4
or to the waters of this commonwealth:
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.
In the event that the municipality or DEP determines that any of the discharges identified in Subsection C significantly contribute pollutants to a regulated small MS4 or to the waters of this commonwealth, the municipality or DEP will notify the responsible person(s) to cease the discharge.
Roof drains and sump pumps shall discharge to infiltration or
vegetative BMPs.
No person shall modify, remove, fill, landscape or alter any
SWM BMPs, facilities, areas or structures without the written approval
