§ 60-10. Prohibited discharges.

(a)

It is unlawful for any person to discharge, or cause to be discharged, to a stormwater drainage system or water body, directly or indirectly, any substance or material, including, but not limited to, pollutants or waters containing any pollutants that cause or contribute to a violation of applicable water quality standards, other than stormwater or an allowable discharge. This prohibition includes the commencement, conducting or continuance of any illicit discharge by any person to a stormwater drainage system or water body.

(b)

Any person discharging stormwater shall effectively prevent pollutants from being discharged with the stormwater, except in accordance with BMPs.

(c)

The authorized enforcement agency is authorized to require dischargers to implement pollution prevention measures, using stormwater pollution prevention plans and BMPs, as determined necessary by the authorized enforcement agency to prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants to a stormwater drainage system or water body.

(d)

The discharge prohibitions of this section shall not apply to any non-stormwater discharge allowed under an NPDES permit, waiver or waste discharge order issued to the discharger and administered under the authority of the EPA, provided the discharger is in full compliance with all requirements of the permit, waiver or order and other applicable laws and regulations, and provided that written approval has been granted for any discharge to the stormwater drainage system.
