meanings indicated:
BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMPs)
Schedules of activities, prohibitions of practices, general
good housekeeping practices, pollution prevention and educational
practices, maintenance procedures, and other management practices
to prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants directly or indirectly
to stormwater, receiving waters, or stormwater-conveyance systems.
BMPs also include treatment practices, operating procedures, and practices
to control site runoff, spillage or leaks, sludge or water disposal,
or drainage from raw materials storage.
BUILDING DEPARTMENT
The enforcement department whose jurisdiction includes permitting,
recordkeeping, violations, and Code adherence.
BUILDING INTERIOR SEWER SYSTEM
The point that the sewer line enters through to the inside
of the foundation wall. From that point to the street will be considered
exterior.
CLEAN WATER ACT
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. § 1251
et seq.), and any subsequent amendments thereto.
CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY
Activities requiring authorization under the SPDES permit
for stormwater discharges from construction activity, GP-02-01, as
amended or revised. These activities include construction projects
resulting in land disturbance of one or more acres. Such activities
include, but are not limited to, clearing and grubbing, grading, excavating,
and demolition.
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
Any material, including any substance, waste, or combination
thereof, which because of its quantity, concentration, or physical,
chemical, or infectious characteristics, may cause, or significantly
contribute to, a substantial present or potential hazard to human
health, safety, property, or the environment when improperly treated,
stored, transported, disposed of, or otherwise managed.
ILLICIT CONNECTIONS
Any drain or conveyance, whether on the surface or subsurface,
which allows an illegal discharge to enter the Village storm sewer,
including but not limited to:
A.
Any conveyances which allow any nonstormwater discharge, including
treated or untreated sewage, process wastewater, and wash water to
enter a watershed area, and any connections to the storm drain system
from indoor drains and sinks, regardless of whether said drain or
connection had been previously allowed, permitted, or approved by
an authorized enforcement agency; or
B.
Any drain or conveyance connected from a commercial or industrial
land use to the Village storm sewer which has not been documented
in plans, maps, or equivalent records and approved by an authorized
enforcement agency.
ILLICIT DISCHARGE
Any direct or indirect nonstormwater discharge to the Village
storm sewer.
INDIVIDUAL SEWAGE TREATMENT SYSTEM
A facility serving one or more parcels of land or residential
households, or a private, commercial or institutional facility, that
treats sewage or other liquid wastes for discharge into the groundwater
of New York State, except where a permit for such a facility is required
under the applicable provisions of Article 17 of the Environmental
Conservation Law.
INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY
Activities requiring the SPDES permit for discharges from
industrial activities except construction, GP-98-03, as amended or
revised.
MUNICIPAL SEPARATE STORM SEWER SYSTEM
A conveyance or system of conveyances (including roads with
drainage systems, municipal streets, catch basins, curbs, gutters,
ditches, man-made channels, or storm drains):
A.
Owned or operated by the Village of Springville;
B.
Designed or used for collecting or conveying stormwater;
C.
Which is not a combined sewer; and
D.
Which is not part of a publicly owned treatment works (POTW)
as defined at 40 CFR 122.2.
NYSDEC
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
PERSON
Any individual, association, organization, partnership, firm,
corporation or other entity recognized by law and acting as either
the owner or as the owner's agent.
POLLUTANT
Dredged spoil, filter backwash, solid waste, incinerator
residue, treated or untreated sewage, garbage, sewage sludge, munitions,
chemical wastes, biological materials, radioactive materials, heat,
wrecked or discarded equipment, rock, sand and industrial, municipal,
agricultural waste and ballast discharged into water; which may cause
or might reasonably be expected to cause pollution of the waters of
the state in contravention of the standards.
PREMISES
Any building, lot, parcel of land, or portion of land, whether
improved or unimproved, including adjacent sidewalks and parking strips.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
A.
Discharge compliance with water quality standards. The condition
that applies where a municipality has been notified that the discharge
of stormwater may have caused or has the reasonable potential to cause
or contribute to the violation of an applicable water quality standard.
Under this condition, the municipality must take all necessary actions
to ensure future discharges do not cause or contribute to a violation
of water quality standards.
B.
303(d) listed waters. The condition in the municipality's
storm sewer that applies where the discharge is to a 303(d) listed
water. Under this condition, the stormwater management program must
ensure no increase of the listed pollutant of concern to the 303(d)
listed water.
C.
Total maximum daily load (TMDL) strategy. The condition in the
municipality's storm sewer where a TMDL, including requirements
for control of stormwater discharges, has been approved by EPA for
a water body or watershed into which it discharges. If the discharge
did not meet the TMDL stormwater allocations prior to September 10,
2003, the municipality was required to modify its stormwater management
program to ensure that reduction of the pollutant of concern specified
in the TMDL is achieved.
D.
The condition in the municipality's storm sewer that applies
if a TMDL is approved in the future by EPA for any water body or watershed
into which it discharges. Under this condition, the municipality must
review the applicable TMDL to see if it includes requirements for
control of stormwater discharges. If a storm sewer system is not meeting
the TMDL stormwater allocations, the municipality must, within six
months of the TMDL's approval, modify its stormwater management
program to ensure that reduction of the pollutant of concern specified
in the TMDL is achieved.
STORM WATER
Rainwater, surface runoff, snowmelt and drainage.
STORM WATER MANAGEMENT OFFICER (SMO)
An employee, the municipal engineer or other public official(s)
designated by the Village of Springville to enforce this chapter.
The SMO may also be designated by the municipality to accept and review
stormwater pollution prevention plans, forward the plans to the applicable
municipal board and inspect stormwater management practices.
SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
The enforcement official whose jurisdiction includes electric,
water, sanitary sewer utilities, and also drainage pertaining to the
connection to building exteriors and utilities within the public right-of-way.
303(d) LIST
A list of all surface waters in the state for which beneficial
uses of the water (drinking, recreation, aquatic habitat, and industrial
use) are impaired by pollutants, prepared periodically by the Department
as required by Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. 303(d) listed
waters are estuaries, lakes and streams that fall short of state surface
water quality standards and are not expected to improve within the
next two years.
TMDL
Total maximum daily load.
TOTAL MAXIMUM DAILY LOAD
The maximum amount of a pollutant to be allowed to be released
into a water body so as not to impair uses of the water allocated
among the sources of that pollutant.
WASTEWATER
Water that is not stormwater, is contaminated with pollutants
and is or will be discarded.
