than seven (7.0) square inches, or be no greater than two (2.0) 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 four and five-eighths (4 5/8) inches
long and one and one-half inches (1 1/2) wide (this option does
not apply for outfall netting facilities); or

constitutes an encroachment or will damage or destroy the New Jersey
Register listed historic property.
