§ 53.76 PROHIBITION OF ILLICIT CONNECTIONS.
   (A)   The construction, use, maintenance, or continued existence of illicit connections to the storm drainage system or MS4 is prohibited.
   (B)   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.
   (C)   A person is considered to be in violation of this subchapter if the person connects a line conveying sewage to the storm drainage system or MS4, or allows such a connection to continue.
   (D)   Connections in violation of this subchapter must be disconnected and redirected, if necessary, to an approved wastewater management system or the sanitary sewer system upon approval of the Department and the appropriate sanitary treatment facility.
   (E)   Any drain or conveyance that has not been documented in plans, maps or equivalent, and which may be connected to the storm sewer system or MS4, shall be located by the owner or occupant of that property upon receipt of written notice of violation from the Department requiring that such locating be completed. Such notice shall specify a reasonable time period within which the location of the drain or conveyance is to be determined, that the drain or conveyance be identified as storm sewer, sanitary sewer or other, and that the outfall location or point of connection to the storm sewer system, MS4, sanitary sewer system, or other discharge point be identified. Results of these investigations are to be documented and provided to the Department.
