(A) No person without authorization of the Superintendent shall bring into, leave behind, or dump any material of any kind, whether waste or otherwise, in the park, except refuse, ashes, garbage, and other material arising from the normal use and enjoyment of a picnic, camp, or other permitted activity provided such material is deposited in receptacles or pits provided for such purposes. Nor shall any material of any kind be left or deposited without or near the parks so as to pollute the land, waters, or air coursing through or over the parks or otherwise to interfere with proper use and enjoyment of the park. No bottles, cans, refuse, or foreign material of any description shall be deposited or thrown in any of the streams, waterways, ponds, or lakes located in the park.
(B) No person shall, either within or outside of the park, place or permit to be placed in any river, brook, stream, pond, ditch, or drain that is maintained in or flows into or through the park, any noxious or deleterious material which may render park waters harmful to the public health, or to animal, vegetation, or aquatic life, or which may prevent, limit, or interfere with the use of such waters for domestic, industrial, or agricultural purposes, or which may lessen to an unreasonable degree the use and enjoyment of such waters for park recreational or other park uses. All sanitary sewage shall receive adequate primary, secondary, and tertiary process plant treatment prior to resultant clear effluent entering into, through, or on the park.
(C) No person, occupant, owner, or person in charge, by himself, his agent, or employee, shall cause, suffer, or allow the burning of garbage, refuse, waste material, trash, motor vehicle or any part thereof, or other combustibles within or adjacent to the park so as to cause smoke, haze, odor, sparks, dust, dirt, or other type matter or gaseous substance to come on, pass through, or over the park which would cause an air pollution nuisance or damage to persons or property.
(D) Open fires for recreational purposes, such as campfires, barbecues, and cook-outs in designated areas shall be permitted provided the materials used were not taken live from the park and provided same or maintained so that such burning may be accomplished without the emission of dense smoke, sparks, odor, dust, or ash, which may cause an air pollution nuisance or damage to persons or property.
