meets the following specifications:
Concrete blocks, jersey barriers or other similar material shall
be placed around the interior of the structure to protect the side
walls during loading and unloading of de-icing materials;
The design shall prevent stormwater run-on and run through,

a.
Temporary outdoor storage of de-icing materials in accordance with
the requirements below is allowed between October 15th and April 15th:
1.
Loose materials shall be placed on a flat, impervious surface in
a manner that prevents stormwater run-through;
2.
Loose materials shall be placed at least 50 feet from surface water
bodies, storm drain inlets, ditches and/or other stormwater conveyance
channels;
3.
Loose materials shall be maintained in a cone-shaped storage pile.
If loading or unloading activities alter the cone-shape during daily
activities, tracked materials shall be swept back into the storage
pile, and the storage pile shall be reshaped into a cone after use;
4.
Loose materials shall be covered as follows:
(a)
The cover shall be waterproof, impermeable, and flexible;
(b)
The cover shall extend to the base of the pile(s);
(c)
The cover shall be free from holes or tears;
(d)
The cover shall be secured and weighed down around the perimeter
to prevent removal by wind; and
(e)
Weight shall be placed on the cover(s) in such a way that minimizes
the potential of exposure as materials shift and runoff flows down
to the base of the pile.
(1)
Sandbags lashed together with rope or cable and placed uniformly
over the flexible cover, or poly-cord nets provide a suitable method.
Items that can potentially hold water (e.g., old tires) shall not
be used;
5.
Containers must be sealed when not in use; and
6.
The site shall be free of all de-icing materials between April 16th
and October 14th.
b.
De-icing materials should be stored in a permanent structure if a
suitable storage structure is available. For storage of loose de-icing
materials in a permanent structure, such storage may be permanent,
and thus not restricted to October 15 - April 15.
c.
The property owner, or owner of the de-icing materials if different,
shall designate a person(s) responsible for operations at the site
where these materials are stored outdoors, and who shall document
that weekly inspections are conducted to ensure that the conditions
of this section are met. Inspection records shall be kept on site

materials are required to perform weekly inspections.
[Added 10-17-2023 by Ord. No. 2023-20]
a.
Residents may store de-icing materials outside in a solid-walled,
closed container that prevents precipitation from entering and exiting
the container, and which prevents the de-icing materials from leaking
or spilling out. Under these circumstances, weekly inspections are
not necessary, but repair or replacement of damaged or inadequate
containers shall occur within two weeks.
b.
If containerized (in bags or buckets) de-icing materials are stored within a permanent structure, they are not subject to the storage and inspection requirements in subsection 12-3.3 above. Piles of de-icing materials are not exempt, even if stored in a permanent structure.
c.
This section does not apply to facilities where the stormwater discharges
from de-icing material storage activities are regulated under another
NJPDES permit.
[Added 10-17-2023 by Ord. No. 2023-20]
