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

4. Loose materials shall be covered as follows:
(a)
The cover shall be waterproof, impermeable, and flexible;
(b)

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;
(f)
Containers must be sealed when not in use; and
(g)
The site shall be free of all de-icing materials between April
16th and October 14th.

other Borough of Ogdensburg ordinances, including Building and Zoning
Regulations.

1. Residents who operate businesses from their homes that utilize de-icing
materials are required to perform weekly inspections.
[Added 8-28-2023 by Ord.
No. 11-2023]
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.
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
