Dear Interested Party:

Enclosed is a final New Jersey Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NJPDES) permit action

identified above which has been issued in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A. The Tier A

Municipal Stormwater General Permit authorizes the discharge of stormwater from small

municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4). The permit was issued in response to USEPA’s

Phase II rules. Tier A municipalities are generally located within the more densely populated

regions of the state or along or near the coast. The Tier A permit addresses stormwater quality

issues related to both new and existing development.

A summary of the significant and relevant comments received on the draft action during the

public comment period, the Department's responses, and an explanation of any changes from the

draft action have been included in the Response to Comments document attached hereto as per

N.J.A.C. 7:14A-15.16.

The final Tier A MS4 NJPDES permit and supporting documents are also posted at

http://www.nj.gov/dep/dwq/tier_a.htm. Here you can find a crosswalk which provides a detailed

comparison of changes from 2009 to this 2017 permit, and a Frequently Asked Questions

document. These documents will be useful in understanding the final permit.

Questions or comments regarding the final action should be addressed to Stephen Boyer at (609)

633-7021.

Sincerely,

James J. Murphy, Chief

Tier A Municipal Stormwater General Permit

A. Permit Overview

1. Overview of the Tier A MS4 NJPDES Permit

a. The Tier A Municipality (i.e. the permittee) is required to develop, update, implement and enforce

an MS4 stormwater program. A primary objective of the MS4 stormwater program is to

implement best management practices and other measures that are designed to achieve the permit’s

requirement to reduce the discharge of pollutants from the Tier A Municipality’s MS4, municipal

maintenance yards and other ancillary operations, to the maximum extent practicable pursuant to

N.J.A.C. 7:14A-25.6(a)1 and 40 CFR 122.34(a), to protect water quality, and to satisfy the

applicable water quality requirements of the Clean Water Act.

2. Primary Plans Required by the Tier A MS4 NJPDES Permit

a. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) documents the Tier A Municipality’s

stormwater program and describes the measures necessary for compliance with the Statewide Basic

Requirements as well as any Other Control Measures, Additional Measures and/or Optional

Measures (if deemed appropriate). See Part IV.F (SPPP) and Attachment A (Measurable Goals

and Implementation Schedule for Existing Permittees) and Attachment A-1 (Measurable Goals and

Implementation Schedule for New Permittees).

b. A significant component of the SPPP is the Municipal Stormwater Management Plan (MSWMP).

The MSWMP is also a component of the municipal master plan (N.J.S.A. 40:55D-94). The

MSWMP describes the municipality’s strategy, structure and process for addressing stormwater

runoff from new development and redevelopment to ensure compliance with the Stormwater

Management rules (N.J.A.C. 7:8 et seq.). This strategy, structure and process also constitutes

much of the post construction stormwater management program in this permit. See Part IV.B.4

(Post Construction). Any MSWMP that complies with N.J.A.C. 7:8 also complies with this

condition and Part IV.B.4.f (MSWMP).

3. Summary of Tier A MS4 NJPDES Permit Requirements

a. The Tier A Municipality shall develop, update, implement and enforce a stormwater program as

documented in an SPPP to ensure compliance with:

Attachment A – Measurable Goals and Implementation Schedule for Existing Permittees

General

The following table specifies the Measurable Goals and Implementation Schedule of this Tier A MS4 NJPDES Permit for Existing Permittees. Each

Measurable Goal and Implementation Schedule is associated with a permit citation and a summary of the associated Minimum Standard. The

summary of Minimum Standard column represents a paraphrase of permit conditions. Actual Minimum Standards are found in Part IV of the permit.

An indication of whether the cited Minimum Standard is a new requirement is provided in the last column. Where a requirement is not new and not

modified (and for some that are modified), the Existing Permittee is expected to be in compliance on the Effective Date of Permit Authorization

(EDPA). For most new requirements (and for some modified requirements), additional time is provided for achieving compliance.

See below for specific Measurable Goals that shall be documented in the SPPP. The SPPP shall be updated as required by Part IV.F.1.c, above.

The Implementation Schedule refers to the date that a Minimum Standard must be incorporated into the Tier A Municipality’s stormwater program,

along with any ongoing requirements. In addition to the requirements of Part IV.F.1 above, the SPPP shall identify and discuss the Minimum Standard

of each Statewide Basic Requirement (Part IV.B, above) and Other Control Measures (Part IV.C, above) where the following information is required

for each item:

• Describe the method of implementation;

• Include required recordkeeping;

• Include an implementation schedule, consistent with permit requirements, including interim milestones;

• Include any special diagrams required by the permit (e.g., stormwater facilities map); and

• Include inspection and maintenance schedules, as appropriate.

This table does not include Measurable Goals and an Implementation Schedule for the Notes and Definitions Part IV, Part IV.A (Permit Overview),

Part IV.D (Additional Measures), IV.E (Optional Measures), IV.F (SPPP), and IV.G (Annual Report and Certification) because these are not Statewide

Basic Requirements or Other Control Measures (see N.J.A.C. 7:14A-25.6). While not included in this table, Notes and Definitions Part IV, Part IV.A,

D, E, F, and G are permit requirements and compliance is required.

Attachment A-1 – Measurable Goals and Implementation Schedule for New Permittees

General

The following table specifies the Measurable Goals and Implementation Schedule of this Tier A MS4 NJPDES Permit for New Permittees. Each

Measurable Goal and Implementation Schedule is associated with a permit citation and a summary of the associated Minimum Standard. The

summary of Minimum Standard column represents a paraphrase of permit conditions. Actual Minimum Standards are found in Part IV of the permit.

See below for specific Measurable Goals that shall be documented in the SPPP. The SPPP shall be created by EDP + 12 months and updated on

annual basis thereafter as required by Part IV.F. The Implementation Schedule refers to the date that a Minimum Standard must be incorporated

into the Tier A Municipality’s stormwater program, along with any ongoing requirements. In addition to the requirements of Part IV.F above, the

SPPP shall identify and discuss the Minimum Standard of each Statewide Basic Requirement (Part IV.B, above) and Other Control Measures (Part

IV.C, above) where the following information is required for each item:

• Describe the method of implementation;

• Include required recordkeeping;

• Include an implementation schedule, consistent with permit requirements, including interim milestones;

• Include any special diagrams required by the permit (e.g., stormwater facilities map); and

• Include inspection and maintenance schedules, as appropriate.

This table does not include Measurable Goals and an Implementation Schedule for the Notes and Definitions Part IV, Part IV.A (Permit Overview),

Part IV.D (Additional Measures), IV.E (Optional Measures), IV.F (SPPP), and IV.G (Annual Report and Certification) because these are not

Statewide Basic Requirements or Other Control Measures (see N.J.A.C. 7:14A-25.6). While not included in this table, Notes and Definitions Part IV,

Part IV.A, D, E, F, and G are permit requirements and compliance is required.

Attachment C - Design Standards for Storm Drain Inlets

Application of Design Standard

The below design standard applies to the following types of storm drain inlet installation or retrofit projects

unless a more stringent standard is specified by the municipality’s stormwater control ordinance:

• Storm drain inlets installed as part of new development and redevelopment (public or private) that disturb

one acre or more;

• Storm drain inlets installed as part of new development and redevelopment (public or private) that

disturb less than one acre that are part of a larger common plan of development or sale (e.g. phased

residential development) that ultimately disturbs one acre or more;

• Tier A Municipality owned or operated storm drain inlets must be retrofitted where the storm drains are (1)

in direct contact with any repaving, repairing (excluding individual pothole repair), or resurfacing

(including top coating or chip sealing with asphalt emulsion or a thin base of hot bitumen); or (2) in direct

contact with any reconstruction or alteration of facilities; and

• Privately owned or operated storm drain inlets (e.g. condomium association) must be retrofitted where the

storm drains are (1) in direct contact with anyrepaving, repairing (excluding individual pothole repair), or

resurfacing (including top coating or chip sealing with asphalt emulsion or a thin base of hot bitumen); or

(2) in direct contact with any reconstruction or alteration of facilities. This does not include single family

ome

Design Standard

Grates in pavement or other ground surfaces shall meet either of the following standards:

• The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) bicycle safe grate standards described in Chapter

2.4 of the NJDOT Bicycle Compatible Roadways and Bikeways Planning and Design Guidelines (see

www.nj.gov/transportation/publicat/pdf/BikeComp/introtofac.pdf ); or

• A grate where each individual clear space in that grate has an area of no more than seven (7.0) square

inches, or is not greater than 0.5 inches across the smallest dimension. Note that the Residential Site

Improvement Standards at N.J.A.C. 5:21include requirements for bicycle safe grates.

Examples of grates subject to this standard include grates in grate inlets; the grate portion (non-curb opening

portion) of combination inlets; grates on storm sewer manholes; ditch grates; trench grates; and grates of spacer

bars in slotted drains. Examples of ground surfaces include surfaces of roads, (including bridges), driveways,

parking areas, bikeways, plazas, sidewalks, lawns, fields, open channels, and stormwater basin floors used to

collect stormwater from the surface into a storm drain or surface water body

For curb-openings inlets, including curb-opening inlets in combination inlets, the clear space in the curb

opening, or each individual clear space if the curb opening has two or more clear spaces, shall have an area of

ore than seven (7.0) square inches or be no greater than two (2.0) inches across the smallest dimension.

Permit No. NJ0141852

Tier A MS4 NJPDES Permit

Tier A Municipal Stormwater General Permit – Attachment C Page 2 of 2

Exemptions from the Design Standard

• Where each individual clear space in the curb opening in existing curb-opening inlets does not have an area

of more than nine (9.0) square inches;

• Where the review agency determines that the standards would cause inadequate hydraulic performance that

could not practicably be overcome by using additional or larger storm drain inlets;

• Where flows from the water quality design storm as specified in N.J.A.C. 7:8 are conveyed through any

device (e.g., end of pipe netting facility, manufactured treatment device, or a catch basin hood) that is

designed, at a minimum, to prevent delivery of all solid and floatable materials that could not pass through

one of the following:

A rectangular space four and five-eighths inches long and one and one-half inches wide (this option

does not apply for outfall netting facilities); or

A bar screen having a bar spacing of 0.5 inches;

Note that these exemptions do not authorize any infringement of requirements in the Residential Site

Improvement Standards for bicycle safe grates in new residential development (N.J.A.C. 5:21-4.18(b)2 and

7.4(b)1).

• Where flows are conveyed through a trash rack that has parallel bars with one inch (1”) spacing between the

bars, to the elevation of the water quality design storm as specified in N.J.A.C. 7:8; or

• Where the Department determines, pursuant to the New Jersey Register of Historic Places Rules at N.J.A.C.

7:4-7.2(c), that action to meet the standard is an undertaking that constitutes an encroachment or will

damage or destroy the New Jersey Register listed historic property.

receipt of bulk fuel deliveries; and inspection and maintenance of storage tanks, including the

associated piping and fuel pumps.

a. Place drip pans under all hose and pipe connections and other leak-prone areas during bulk

transfer of fuels.

b. Block storm sewer inlets, or contain tank trucks used for bulk transfer, with temporary berms

or temporary absorbent booms during the transfer process. If temporary berms or booms are

being used instead of blocking the storm sewer inlets, all hose connection points associated

with the transfer of fuel shall be within the temporarily bermed or boomed area during the

loading/unloading of bulk fuels. A trained employee shall be present to supervise the bulk

transfer of fuel.

c. Clearly post, in a prominent area of the facility, instructions for safe operation of fueling

 Contact information for the person(s) responsible for spill response.

d. Immediately repair or replace any equipment, tanks, pumps, piping and fuel dispensing

equipment found to be leaking or in disrepair.

Discharge of Stormwater from Secondary Containment

The discharge pipe/outfall from a secondary containment area (e.g. fuel storage, de-icing solution

storage, brine solution) shall have a valve and the valve shall remain closed at all times except as

described below. A municipality may discharge stormwater accumulated in a secondary containment

area if a visual inspection is performed to ensure that the contents of aboveground storage tank have

not come in contact with the stormwater to be discharged. Visual inspections are only effective when

dealing with materials that can be observed, like petroleum. If the contents of the tank are not visible

in stormwater, the municipality shall rely on previous tank inspections to determine with some degree

of certainty that the tank has not leaked. If the municipality cannot make a determination with

reasonable certainty that the stormwater in the secondary containment area is uncontaminated by the

contents of the tank, then the stormwater shall be hauled for proper disposal.

Vehicle Maintenance

1. Operate and maintain equipment to prevent the exposure of pollutants to stormwater.

2. Whenever possible, conduct vehicle and equipment maintenance activities indoors. For projects

that must be conducted outdoors, and that last more than one day, portable tents or covers shall be

cannot otherwise comply with 1, above, may temporarily contain wash wastewater prior to proper

disposal under the following conditions:

a. Containment structures shall not leak. Any underground tanks and associated piping shall be

tested for integrity every 3 years using appropriate methods determined by “The List of Leak

Detection Evaluations for Storage Tank Systems” created by the National Work Group on

Leak Detection Evaluations (NWGLDE) or as determined appropriate and certified by a

professional engineer for the site specific containment structure(s).

b. For any cathodically protected containment system, provide a passing cathodic protection

survey every three years.

c. Operate containment structures to prevent overfilling resulting from normal or abnormal

operations, overfilling, malfunctions of equipment, and human error. Overfill prevention

shall include manual sticking/gauging of the tank before each use unless system design

prevents such measurement. Tank shall no longer accept wash wastewater when determined

to be at 95% capacity. Record each measurement to the nearest ½ inch.

d. Before each use, perform inspections of all visible portions of containment structures to

ensure that they are structurally sound, and to detect deterioration of the wash pad, catch

basin, sump, tank, piping, risers, walls, floors, joints, seams, pumps and pipe connections or

other containment devices. The wash pad, catch basin, sump and associated drains should be

kept free of debris before each use. Log dates of inspection; inspector's name, and

conditions. This inspection is not required if system design prevents such inspection.

e. Containment structures shall be emptied and taken out of service immediately upon detection

of a leak. Complete all necessary repairs to ensure structural integrity prior to placing the

containment structure back into service. Any spills or suspected release of hazardous

substances shall be immediately reported to the NJDEP Hotline (1-877-927-6337) followed

SPPP Form 5 – Post-Construction Stormwater Management in New

Development and Redevelopment Program

All records must be available upon request by NJDEP.

1. How does the municipality define ‘major development’?

2. Does the municipality approach residential projects differently than it does for non-residential

projects? If so, how?

3. What process is in place to ensure that municipal projects meet the Stormwater Control

Ordinance?

Borough of Pompton Lakes / Passaic County / NJDES #NJG0152145 / May 22, 2020

Major development is new development that will ultimately result in the disturbance of one or more

acres of land, or increase impervious surfaces by one-quarter acre (or 10,890 square feet) or more.

"Development" means: Construction, reconstruction, conversion, structural alteration, relocation or

enlargement of any building or structure; mining, excavation or landfill; or use/change in use of any

building, other structure, land or extension of use of land that requires permission under the

Municipal Land Use Law (N.J.S.A. 40:55D-1 et seq.).

"Disturbance" means” the addition of impervious surface (e.g. pavement); exposure or movement of

soil or bedrock (e.g. grading, excavation); or clearing, cutting, or removing vegetation.

The Borough's planning and zoning boards review the projects and ensure compliance

before issuing preliminary or final subdivision or site plan approvals under the Municipal

Land Use Law. All new residential development and redevelopment projects that are subject

to the Residential Site Improvement Standards for stormwater management (including the

NJDEP Stormwater Management rules, N.J.A.C. 7:8, referenced in those standards) are in

compliance with those standards.

4. Describe the process for reviewing major development project applications for compliance

with the Stormwater Control Ordinance (SCO) and Residential Site Improvement Standards

(RSIS). Attach a flow chart if available.

5. Does the Municipal

Stormwater Management

Plan include a mitigation

plan?

6. What is the physical location

of approved applications for

major development projects,

Major Development

Summary Sheets (permit att.

D), and mitigation plans?

Borough of Pompton Lakes / Passaic County / NJDES #NJG0152145 / May 22, 2020

To control stormwater from new development and redevelopment projects throughout Pompton Lakes Borough (including projects we

operate) we will do the following:

We are already ensuring that all new residential development and redevelopment projects that are subject to the Residential Site

Improvement Standards for stormwater management (including the NJDEP Stormwater Management rules, N.J.A.C. 7:8, referenced in

those standards) are in compliance with those standards. Our planning and zoning boards ensure such compliance before issuing

preliminary or final subdivision or site plan approvals under the Municipal Land Use Law.

Since the EDPA, Pompton Lakes Borough has not constructed any new development or redevelopment projects on Borough property.

If we decide to construct such a project before our municipal stormwater control ordinance takes effect, we will ensure adequate

long-term operation and maintenance of BMPs for that project by requiring a project maintenance plan similar to the maintenance plan

described in our draft of that ordinance, and by requiring and funding the implementation of that plan. We will also require any storm

drain inlets that we install to comply with the design standard in Attachment C of our permit. Once that ordinance takes effect, we will

ensure such operation and maintenance for any new development or redevelopment projects on our property by complying with the

maintenance requirements in that ordinance. In addition, any storm drain inlets we install for such projects will comply with that

ordinance's standard for such inlets.

Our planning board and municipal attorney have reviewed a draft municipal stormwater management plan and a draft municipal

stormwater control ordinance for their adoption. We also plan to meet with the Passaic County planning agency staff to discuss the

plan and ordinance. The plan and ordinance will be adopted by our planning board and council, respectively, by the deadlines

specified in the permit, and will be submitted to the county planning agency for approval.

Once approved, the ordinance, which will be administered by our planning and zoning boards and code enforcement officer, will control

stormwater from non-residential development and redevelopment projects. Where it is necessary to implement the municipal

stormwater management plan, the approved ordinance will also control aspects of residential development and redevelopment projects

that are not subject to the Residential Site Improvement Standards.

For any BMP that is installed in order to comply with the requirements of our post-construction program, Pompton Lakes Borough will

ensure adequate long-term operation as well as preventative and corrective maintenance (including replacement) of BMPs. For BMPs

on private property that we do not own or operate, Pompton Lakes Borough intends to do this by adopting and enforcing a provision in

the municipal stormwater control ordinance that requires the private entity to perform the operation and maintenance, with penalties if

the private entity does not comply. If, for example, the private entity does not perform the required maintenance, the Borough can

perform the maintenance and charge the private entity.

Pompton Lakes Borough will also enforce, through the municipal stormwater control ordinance, compliance with the design standard in

Attachment C of our permit to control passage of solid and floatable materials through storm drain inlets. Pompton Lakes Borough

expects that for most projects, such compliance will be achieved either by conveying flows through a trash rack as described in the

“Alternative Device Exemption,” or (for flows not conveyed through such a trash rack), by installation of the NJDOT bicycle safe grate

and (if needed) a curb opening with a clear space no bigger than two inches across the smallest dimension.

All records must be available upon request by NJDEP.

1. Provide a written description or attach a map indicating which streets are swept as required by the

NJPDES permit. Describe the sweeping schedule and indicate if any of the streets are swept by

another entity through a shared service arrangement.

2. Provide a written description or attach a map indicating which streets are swept that are NOT

required to be swept by the NJPDES permit. Describe the sweeping schedule and indicate if any

of the streets are swept by another entity through a shared service arrangement.

3. Does the municipality provide street sweeping services for other municipalities? If so, please

describe the arrangements.

4. Indicate the location of records, including sweeping dates, areas swept, number of miles swept and

total amount of wet tons collected each month. Note which records correspond to sweeping

activities beyond what is required by the NJPDES permit, i.e., sweepings of streets within the

municipality that are not required by permit to be swept or sweepings of streets outside of the

municipality.

The Borough currently sweeps its streets twice each month. The. schedule is printed in the Community Calendar. The schedule does not pertain to any county roadways, which are swept by Passaic

County. Sweeping is suspended from December through February. The Borough's sweeping program is a shared service, contracted through the Borough of Bloomingdale.

The street sweeping activity meets the minimum standards of:

- the street is owned or operated by the municipality;

- the street is curbed and has storm drains;

- the street has a posted speed limit of 35 mph or less;

- the street is not an entrance or exit ramp; and

- the street is in a predominantly commercial area.

Pompton Lakes Borough intends on sweeping all other streets that are not required by the

permit once a year.

All records are kept in the Public Works/Municipal Office.

Indicate the location of records of catch basin and storm drain inlet inspections and

the wet tons of materials collected during catch basin and storm drain inlet cleanings.

Pompton Lakes Borough will implement through a shared service contract an annual catch basin cleaning program to

maintain catch basin function and efficiency. All catch basins will be inspected once each year. If, at the time of

inspection, no sediment, trash or debris is observed in the catch basin, then that catch basin will not be cleaned. All

catch basins will be inspected yearly, even if they were found to be “clean” the previous year. At the time of cleaning,

the catch basins will also be inspected for proper function. Maintenance will be scheduled for those catch basins that

are in disrepair. The annual catch basin cleaning program began in April of 2005.

There are currently no catch basins or storm drain inlets with recurring problems.

N/A

The Borough will continue to maintain and upkeep the legibility of the label throughout the entire municipality.

As part of the annual stormwater facility inspection the inspectors will replace any storm drain labels that are

missing or are illegible. The labels will read "No dumping - Drains to Stream" with a picture of a fish next to it.

We will label all storm drain inlets that are along municipal streets with sidewalks, and all storm drain inlets

within plazas, parking areas, or maintenance yards that are operated by Pompton Lakes Borough. For the

labeling we use either stencils that will be painted or plastic labels that will be applied using adhesive.

away from the stock pile.

Sweeping of the yard will be done on a monthly basis during the summer months. Sweepings

will be stored in tarped, dumpsters, on pavement surrounded by a hay bale barrier, until

removed. All catch basins in the yard areas will be checked and cleaned monthly. The separator

tanks are cleaned and pumped every six months, March/September as needed, including the

rodding and cleaning of the floor drains. All activities are scheduled and recorded.

The Borough collects leaves once a week from October to December of each year. The Borough is divided into four(4)

sections for pickup. Sections 1 & 3 are located in the north zone and Sections 2 & 4 are located in the south zone. The

schedule is posted in the Borough newsletter. Leaves in plastic bags or raked into the streets will not be collected. Leaves are

collected on the first trash collection day of each week. Branches, brush and thatch pick up begins in April each year.

Borough of Pompton Lakes currently prohibits all yard wastes from being placed curbside until a day prior to scheduled

collection. Wastes must be contained in special biodegradable paper bags or containerized loosely in clean garbage pails.

Roadside vegetation is cut back. Sprays are not used.

SPPP Form 12 – Outfall Pipes

All records must be available upon request by NJDEP.

1. Mapping: Attach an image or provide a link to the most current outfall pipe map. Maps shall

be updated at the end of each calendar year.

Note that ALL maps must be electronic by 21 Dec 2020 via the DEP’s designated electronic

submission service. For details, see http://www.nj.gov/dep/dwq/msrp_map_aid.htm.

2. Inspections: Describe the outfall pipe inspection schedule and indicate the location of records

of dates, locations, and findings.

3. Stream Scouring: Describe the program in place to detect, investigate and control localized

stream scouring from stormwater outfall pipes. Indicate the location of records related to cases

of localized stream scouring. Such records must include the contributing source(s) of

stormwater, recommended corrective action, and a prioritized list and schedule to remediate

scouring cases.

Outfall pipe inspections will be scheduled on an annual basis. Records of dates, locations,

and findings will be filed in the Public Works office.

When we are doing the illicit connection part of this program through a shared service

contract, we will have the contractor check all of our outfall pipes for signs of scouring. All

sites will be placed on a prioritized list and repairs will be made in accordance with the

Standards for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control in New Jersey. In addition, repairs that do

not need NJDEP permits for those repairs may be done first. We will follow each repair up

with an annual inspection of the site to ensure that scouring has not resumed. There will be

an attached list of all sites with outfall pipe stream scouring, the date we plan on repairing the

scouring, and the method of repair we will use. When repairs are completed we will note the

date of that repair on this form.

Borough of Pompton Lakes / Passaic County / NJDES #NJG0152145 / May 22, 2020

4. Illicit Discharges: Describe the program in place for conducting visual dry weather inspections

of municipally owned or operated outfall pipes. Record cases of illicit discharges using the

DEP’s Illicit Connection Inspection Report Form (www.nj.gov/dep/dwq/tier_a_forms.htm) and

indicate the location of these forms and related illicit discharge records.

Note that Illicit Connection Inspection Report Forms shall be included in the SPPP and

submitted to DEP with the annual report.

The illicit connection identification is an ongoing process that is conducted annually along

with the stormwater facility inspection. There has not been an illicit connection found within

the Borough so far. We will conduct an initial physical inspection of all of our outfall pipes

during the mapping process. We will use the DEP Illicit Connection Inspection Report Form

to conduct these inspections, and each of these forms will be kept with our SPPP records.

Outfall pipes that are found to have a dry weather flow or evidence of an intermittent

non-stormwater flow will be rechecked again to locate the illicit connection. If we are able to

locate the illicit connection (and the connection is within the Borough) we will cite the

responsible party for being in violation of our Illicit Connection Ordinance, and we will have

the collection eliminated immediately. If, after the appropriate amount of investigation, we are

unable to locate the source of the illicit connection, we will submit the Closeout Investigation

Form with our Annual Inspection and Recertification.

If an illicit connection is found to originate from another public entity, the Borough will report

the illicit connection to the Department.
