A. 
Any drain or conveyance, whether on the surface or subsurface, that allows nonstormwater discharge, including, but not limited to, sewage, processed wastewater, and wash water to enter a regulated small MS4 or to enter the surface waters of the commonwealth is prohibited.
B. 
No person shall allow or cause to allow stormwater discharges into the Township's separate storm sewer system (regulated small MS4), or discharges into waters of the commonwealth, which are not composed entirely of stormwater, except discharges listed in Subsection C below, and discharges authorized under a state or federal permit.
C. 
The following discharges are authorized unless they are determined to be significant contributors to pollution of a regulated small MS4 or to waters of the commonwealth:
(1) 
Discharges or flows from firefighting activities.
(2) 
Discharges from potable water sources, including water line flushing and fire hydrant flushing, if such discharges do not contain detectable concentrations of total residual chlorine (TRC).
(3) 
Noncontaminated irrigation water, water from lawn maintenance, landscape drainage and flows from riparian habitats and wetlands.
(4) 
Diverted stream flows and springs.
(5) 
Noncontaminated pumped groundwater and water from foundation and footing drains and crawl space pumps.
(6) 
Noncontaminated HVAC condensation and water from geothermal systems.
(7) 
Residential (i.e., not commercial) vehicle wash water where cleaning agents are not utilized.
(8) 
Noncontaminated hydrostatic test water discharges, if such discharges do not contain detectable concentrations of TRC.
D. 
In the event that the Township subsequently determines that any of the discharges identified in Subsection C significantly contribute pollutants to a regulated small MS4 or to waters of the commonwealth, then the Township or PADEP will notify the responsible person(s) to cease the discharge.
E. 
Upon notice provided by the Township under Subsection D, the discharger will have a reasonable time to cease the discharge consistent with the degree of pollution caused by the discharge.
F. 
Nothing in this section shall affect a discharger's responsibility under state law.
A. 
The following connections are prohibited:
(1) 
Any drain or conveyance, whether on the surface or subsurface, which allows any nonstormwater discharge including sewage, process wastewater, and wash water to enter the separate storm sewer systems, and any connections to the storm drain system from indoor drains and sinks;
(2) 
Any drain or conveyance connected from a commercial or industrial land use to the separate storm sewer system which has not been documented in plans, maps, or equivalent records, and approved by the Township.
B. 
This prohibition expressly includes, without limitation, connections made in the past, regardless of whether the connection, drain or conveyance was previously allowed, permitted, or approved by a government agency, or otherwise permissible under law or practices applicable or prevailing at the time of connection.
A. 
Roof drains and sump pumps shall discharge to infiltration areas or vegetative BMPs, wherever feasible, and to the maximum extent practicable satisfy the criteria for disconnected impervious areas (DIAs).
B. 
Roof drains and sump pumps shall not be connected to streets through the curb or to sanitary sewers, and shall only be connected to storm sewer or swales (located within an easement) when designed as part of a stormwater BMP.
No person shall throw, deposit, leave, maintain, keep, or permit to be thrown, deposited, left, or maintained, in or upon any public or private property, driveway, parking area, street, alley, sidewalk, or other component of the Township's separate storm sewer system, any refuse, rubbish, garbage, litter, or other discarded or abandoned objects, articles, and accumulations, so that the same may cause or contribute to pollution. Wastes deposited in streets in proper waste receptacles for the purposes of collection are exempted from this prohibition.
A. 
No person shall modify, remove, fill, landscape, or alter any existing stormwater management BMP, unless part of an approved maintenance program, and written approval of the Township has been obtained.
B. 
No person shall place any structure, fill, landscaping or vegetation into a stormwater management BMP or within a drainage easement, which would limit or alter the functioning of the BMP, without the written approval of the Township.
