scene coordinator.
u. maintenance activities of the Storm Drainage System requiring flushing or
cleaning with potable water.
v. Illicit Discharge permitted under an NPDES permit, waiver, or waste discharge
order issued to the User and administered under the authority of the EPA, or
DWQ, provided that the User is in full compliance with all requirements of the
permit, waiver, or order and other applicable laws and regulations. Discharges
specified in writing by the Environmental Programs Manager as being necessary
to protect public health and safety or discharges that have been filtered through an
approved pretreatment system that consistently demonstrate no discharge of
pollutants.
w. Dye testing, but only if the User has notified the Environmental Programs
Manager at least twenty-four hours prior to the time of the test.
x. Wash water from the cleaning of exterior of buildings, including gutters,
provided that the discharge does not pose an environmental or health threat.

the Town of Apex not more than 48 hours prior to the weekly scheduled
collection day provided the yard waste is placed at least 10 feet from any sturm
drain catch basin. The Environmental Programs Manager will adopt a standard
storm drainage catch basin cleanout schedule and maintenance program plan to
ensure that water quality is protected.
(2) if any of the above Illicit Discharge exceptions are found to be polluted and may
therefore negatively impact the quality of the Waters of the State, the polluted
Illicit Discharge exception shall be deemed unlawful and shall not be discharged
into the MS4. These conditions shall be determined by the Environmental
Programs Manager or designee. These polluted Illicit Discharges, though listed as
an exception above, shall be regulated as an Illicit Connection or Discharge.
(b) Illicit Connections.
(1) The construction, use, maintenance or continued existence of Illicit Connections
is prohibited. Except as provided in the following subsection, this prohibition expressly
includes, without limitation, Illicit Connections made in the past, regardless of whether the
connection was permissible under law or practices applicable or prevailing at the time of
connection.
(2) Where such connections exist in violation of this section and said connections
were made prior to the adoption of this provision or any other ordinance prohibiting such
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Program Ordinance
Page 6
connections, the property owner or the person using said connection shall remove the connection
within one year following the effective date of this ordinance. However, the one-year grace
period shall not apply to connections which may result in the discharge of hazardous materials or
other discharges which pose an immediate threat to health and safety, or are likely to result in
immediate injury and harm to real or personal property, natural resources, wildlife, or habitat.
Sec. 12-203. Suspension of MS4 Access In Emergency Situations
When necessary to stop an actual or threatened discharge that is imminently dangerous or
prejudicial to the public's health or safety, the Environmental Programs Manager may, without
prior notice, order that a User's access to the MS4 be suspended. If the violator fails to comply
with this suspension order, the Environmental Programs Manager may take such steps as deemed
necessary to remove, abate or remedy the actual or threatened discharge. The User shall
reimburse the Town the full cost of such removal, abatement or remedy according to the terms of
section 12-207(c). The User may appeal the Environmental Programs Manager's decision
pursuant to section 12-208, but the User may not reconnect to the MS4 without the prior written

and for copying records that must be kept under the conditions of an NPDES permit or to enforce
compliance with any additional duties mandated by this ordinance, state or federal law.
(c) The Environmental Programs Manager shall have the right to install or to require the
User to install on any Facility such devices as are necessary in the opinion of the Environmental
Programs Manager, to monitor and/or sample the Facility's discharges into the MS4.
(d) The User shall maintain the Facility's sampling and monitoring equipment in a safe and
proper operating condition at the User's expense. All devices used to measure the flow and
quality of discharges to the MS4 shall be calibrated to ensure their accuracy.
(e) Upon the Environmental Programs Manager's request, a User shall immediately remove
any temporary or permanent obstruction to the safe and easy access to a Facility. The
obstruction shall not be replaced. The User shall bear the costs of clearing the access. If a User
has security measures in force which require proper identification and clearance before entry into
its premises, the User shall make the necessary arrangements to allow access to the
Environmental Programs Manager.
(f) If the Environmental Programs Manager has been refused access to any part of a Facility
and if the Environmental Programs Manager is able to demonstrate probable cause to believe that
the portion of the Facility to which access has been refused contains a discharge into the MS4
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Program Ordinance
Page 7
and that there is a need to inspect and/or sample the discharge as part of a routine sampling and
inspection program or probable cause to believe that there is a condition, object, activity or
circumstance which legally justifies such a search or inspection of that property , then the
Environmental Programs Manager may seek issuance of an administrative search warrant
pursuant to NCGS § 15-27.2.
See. 12-205. Requirement To Prevent, Control, and Reduce Stormwater Pollutants by the
Use of Best Management Practices.
The Environmental Programs Manager may require BMP's for any Facility which may cause or
contribute to an Illicit Discharge to the MS4. All Users shall provide, at their own expense,
reasonable protection from Illicit Discharges into the MS4 through the use of these structural and
non-structural BMP's. Compliance with all terms and conditions of a valid NPDES permit
authorizing the discharge of stormwater associated with industrial activity, to the extent
practicable, shall be deemed compliant with the provisions of this section. These BMP's shall be
part of a SPPP as necessary for compliance with requirements of the NPDES permit.
Sec. 12-206. Notification of Spills.
Notwithstanding other requirements of law, as soon as any User has information of any known or
suspected Illicit Discharge into the MS4, the User shall take all necessary steps to ensure the
discovery, containment, and cleanup of such illicit Discharge. In the event of a known or
suspected Illicit Discharge of Hazardous Materials into the MS4, the User shall immediately
notify emergency response agencies of the occurrence via emergency dispatch services. In the
event of a non -hazardous Illicit Discharge, the User shall notify the Environmental Programs
Manager in person or by phone or facsimile no later than the next business day. Notifications in
person or by phone shall be confirmed by written notice addressed and mailed to the Town of
Apex Environmental Programs Division within three business days of the phone notice. If an
Illicit Discharge emanates from a commercial or industrial land use, the User shall also retain an
on -site written record of the discharge and the actions taken to prevent its recurrence. Such
records shall be retained for at least three years.
See.12-207. Enforcement.
(a) Notice of Violation.
Whenever the Environmental Programs Division finds that a User has violated this ordinance,
the Environmental Programs Division shall notify the User, in writing by registered or certified
mail, personal service or posting of said notice at the Facility where the alleged violation
occurred, that the User shall perform any or all of the following:
