The purpose of this chapter is to prevent stored salt and other
solid de-icing materials from being exposed to stormwater. It establishes
requirements for the storage of salt and other solid de-icing materials
on properties not owned or operated by the Township (privately owned),
including residences, to protect the environment, and the public health,
safety and welfare.
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
DE-ICING MATERIALS
Any granular or solid material such as melting salt or any
other granular solid that assists in the melting of snow.
IMPERVIOUS SURFACE
A surface that has been covered with a layer of material
so that it is highly resistant to infiltration by water.
PERMANENT STRUCTURE
A permanent building or permanent structure that is anchored
to a permanent foundation with an impermeable floor, and that is completely
roofed and walled (new structures require a door or other means of
sealing the access way from wind-driven rainfall). A fabric frame
structure is a permanent structure if it meets the following specifications:
A.
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;
B.
The design shall prevent stormwater run-on and run-through,
and the fabric cannot leak;
C.
The structure shall be erected on an impermeable slab;
D.
The structure cannot be open sided; and
E.
The structure shall have a roll up door or other means of sealing
the access way from wind driven rainfall.
PERSON
Any individual, corporation, company, partnership, firm,
association, or political subdivision of this state subject to Township
jurisdiction.
RESIDENT
A person who resides on a residential property where de-icing
materials are stored.
Facilities where the stormwater discharges from salt storage
activities are regulated under another NJPDEP permit are exempt from
these requirements.
The Zoning Officer or his or her designee shall be responsible
for the enforcement of these requirements.
Any person(s) who is found to be in violation of these requirements shall be given 72 hours by the Zoning Officer or his or her designee to complete corrective action. Repeat violations and/or failure to complete corrective action shall result in such fines and penalties that may be imposed in accordance with the general penalty provisions in §
1-18.
