<br />or any other discarded or abandoned objects, articles, or accumulations, in
<br />or upon any street, alley, sidewalk, storm drain, inlet, catch basin conduit

<br />
<br />a. Connection to the City’s MS4 System.
<br />
<br />(1) New direct connections and replacement of existing connections
<br />shall be completed using a method that is approved by the City.
<br />
<br />(2) Peak flow rate, the total volume of flow, and the timing of the flow
<br />for new connections must be managed to not cause new water
<br />conveyance problems.
<br />
<br />b. Discharge Prohibitions.
<br />
<br />(1) Prohibition of Illegal Discharges. No person shall discharge or
<br />cause to be discharged into the municipal storm drain system or
<br />watercourses any materials, including but not limited to pollutants
<br />that cause or contribute to a violation of applicable water quality
<br />standards, other than storm water.
<br />
<br />(2) Prohibition of Illicit Connections. The construction, use,
<br />maintenance or continued existence of illicit connections to the
<br />storm drain system without a City permit is prohibited.
<br />
<br />(i) This prohibition expressly includes, without limitation,
<br />illicit connections made in the past, regardless of whether
<br />the connection was permissible under law or practices
<br />applicable or prevailing at the time of connection.
<br />
<br />(ii) A person is considered to be in violation of this Rule if the
<br />person connects a line conveying sewage to the City’s
<br />MS4, or allows such a connection to continue.
