Applicability

No person shall Discharge, or cause to be discharged, directly or indirectly, into the Authority Sewerage System, any Construction Site Dewatering unless such Discharge conforms to a Temporary Construction Site Dewatering Permit issued jointly by the Authority and the Municipality where the Discharge occurs to the Person for the Discharge. Such permit may be issued only for a construction site: (a) in a combined sewer municipality; (b) where there is not reasonable access from the site to a separate storm sewer or to surface water; and (c) where the amount to be discharged will not have an actual or potential adverse impact on the Sewer System, the treatment plant, quality of the receiving water, or the Authority's ability to meet its obligations under any law, regulation, permit, or order. The duration of a permit shall not exceed the time necessary to keep a site dewatered during construction; it shall not be issued for the purpose of groundwater remediation or permanent site dewatering.
