It shall be unlawful for any person to place,
deposit, or permit to be deposited, in any unsanitary manner, on public
or private property, within the district or in any area under the
jurisdiction of said district, any human excrement, garbage or objectionable
waste. Also, no person shall discharge domestic sewage onto the surface
of the ground or discharge it in a way that permits it to come to
the surface of the ground.
No person shall connect a private sewage system
so that sewage flows into a storm sewer or into a drain intended exclusively
for stormwater.
No person shall discharge into a well.
It shall be unlawful to discharge to any natural
outlet, within the district or in any area under the jurisdiction
of the district, any wastewater, industrial wastes or other polluted
waters, except where suitable treatment has been provided in accordance
with subsequent provisions of this chapter.
No property owner, builder or developer shall be issued a building permit for a new dwelling or structure requiring sanitary facilities unless a suitable and approved method of wastewater disposal, conforming to this chapter, is available. All housing construction or building development which takes place after this chapter is enacted shall provide for an approved system of sanitary sewers except where public servers are not available in accordance with §
345-20.
Except as hereinafter provided, it shall be
unlawful to construct or maintain any privy, privy vault, cesspool,

The owner(s) of all houses, buildings or properties
used for human occupancy, employment, recreation or other purposes,
situated within the district, and abutting on any street, alley or
right-of-way in which there is now located or may, in the future,
be located a public sewer, is hereby required, at the owner's expense,
to install suitable sanitary facilities therein, and to connect such
facilities directly with the proper public sewer, in accordance with
the provisions of this chapter, within 90 days after official notice
to do so, provided that said public sewer is within 100 feet (30.5
meters) of the property line.
The use of the district's public sewers shall be strictly limited and restricted, except as provided in §§
345-15 and
345-17, to receive and accept the discharge of sewage and other wastes, including industrial wastes, generated on or discharged from real property within the bounds of the service area of the POTW and/or any other additional sewer disposal districts or facilities subject to the approval of the Legislature of the County of Rockland and/or any body designated pursuant to the laws of the State of New York.
At the recommendation of the Executive Director,
who determines that one or more segments of the POTW is exceeding
its hydraulic capacity at any time, or that any specific purpose of
this chapter is being violated, the District Board shall have the
authority to limit or deny new connections to the POTW until the conditions
leading to the moratorium are corrected. Such correction may be by:
A. Construction of new facilities; or
B. Enlarging existing facilities; or
C. Correction of inflow and infiltration; or
D. Cleaning and repairing of existing facilities.
All requirements, directives and orders calling
for mandatory use of the sewers, within the service area of the district,
for the proper discharge of sewage and other wastes, including industrial
wastes, shall be established and given by the District Board, the
local municipality having jurisdiction, the Rockland County Department
of Health, the NYSDEC, the USEPA and/or other such state or federal
agencies which have enforcement powers.
