STORM WATER ORDINANCE SLOCUM AND MARSHALL LIE AGAIN, CITY MANAGER/PLANNER RUINING SEAVIEW TERRACE PROPERTIES ENDANGERING RESIDENTS EVERY DAY

Per the 11/1/11 City Council Meeting, Wayne stated that local ordinance for storm water is to direct it to the nearest PUBLIC water way- streams. He hasn't not provided this specific ordinance but overwhelmed me with many that don't pertain to his "claim".  I tried to find it again on the City Website and I found it. He didn't send it because it implicates him and the City in illegally sending storm water to PRIVATE property that is not even "close" to ANY public water way. Here is the actual ordinance- and below that is a sample of his smokescreen ordinances to confuse and discourage me. More infractions because runoff is from roofs, cistern, TANK overflow, highway runoff, probably Wayne's septic... who knows what he is sending to us...he is not honest.
MIRACULOUSLY I FOUND THIS ON THE CITY WEBSITE AFTER I POSTED CITY ATTORNEY BILL KELLY'S LETTER SAYING I WAS HARASSING CITY EMPLOYEES BY DEMANDING TO SEE THIS ORDINANCE FOR OVER 1 YEAR!! AS RECENT AS 4/18/12 IS PROOF BELOW IN WAYNE MARSHALL'S EMAIL GIVING ME ZONING?? CITATIONS INSTEAD OF THIS (FOR 1 YEAR HE HAS WASTED, AS MARINA DELUNE HAS STATED, THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF TAX DOLLARS IN HIS COVERUP)
Stormwater and all other unpolluted drainage may be discharged to such sewers as are specifically designated as storm sewers, or to a natural outlet approved by the city. Industrial cooling water or unpolluted process waters may be discharged, on approval of the city, to a storm sewer or natural outlet, if in accordance with regulations of the state department of environmental protection.

(Ord. No. 45-1999, § 600.2, 2-1-2000)

Except as provided in this article, no person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any of the following described waters or wastes to any public sewer:
(1)
Any liquid or vapor having a temperature higher than 150 degrees Fahrenheit (65 degrees Celsius).
(2)
Any waters or wastes which contain fats, grease or oil, or other substances in excess of 100 mg/l, whether emulsified or not, that will solidify or become viscous at temperatures between 32 and 150 degrees Fahrenheit.

(3)
Any waters or wastes containing soluble fats, grease or oils, whether emulsified or not, exceeding an average 100 parts per million, which, in the opinion of the city, may overload or inhibit the pollution control facility's processes.

(4)
Any gasoline, benzene, naphtha, fuel oil, mineral oil, or other flammable or explosive liquid, solid or gas.
(5)
Any noxious or malodorous gas such as hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide or nitrous oxide, or other substances which, either singly or by interaction with other wastes, are capable of creating a public nuisance or hazard to life or of preventing entry into sewers for their maintenance and repair.

(6)
Any garbage that has not been properly shredded. The installation and operation of any garbage grinder equipped with a motor of three-fourths horsepower or greater shall be subject to the review and approval of the city.

(7)
Any ashes, cinders, sand, mud, straw, shavings, metal, glass, rags, feathers, tar, plastic, cardboard, wood, paunch manure, hair and fleshings, entrails, lime slurry, lime residues, beer or distillery slops, whey, chemical residues, paint residues, cannery waste, bulk solids, or other solid or viscous substance capable of causing obstruction to the flow of the sewers or other interference with proper operation of the sewage works.

(8)
Any waters or wastes, acid and alkaline in reaction, having corrosive properties capable of causing damage or hazard to structures, equipment and personnel of the sewage works. Free acids and alkalis must be neutralized at all times, within a permissible pH range of 6.0 to 9.5.

(9)
Radioactive wastes or isotopes of halflife or concentrations as may exceed limits established by the city in compliance with applicable state or federal regulations.

(10)
Quantities of flow, or concentrations of any wastewater constituent, or both, which would constitute a slug.
(11)
Any stormwater, roof drainage, spring water, cistern or tank overflow, footing drainage, or discharge from any vehicle wash rack or water motor, or the contents of any privy vault, septic tank or cesspool, or the discharge of effluent from any air conditioning machine or refrigeration unit.

(12)
Any waters or wastes containing a toxic or poisonous substance, high chlorine or oxygen demand, or suspended solids in sufficient quantity to injure or interfere with any sewage treatment process, constitute a hazard to humans or animals, or create any hazard or violation in the receiving waters or effluent of the city's sewage treatment plant, or contaminate or restrict the final end use of the treatment plant's sludge residuals. Such toxic substances shall be limited to the average concentrations listed in this subsection in the sewage as it leaves the building sewer, and at no time shall the hourly concentration at the sewage treatment plant exceed three times the average concentration. If concentrations listed are exceeded, individual establishments will be subject to control by the city in volume and concentration of wastes discharged.

This JOE SLOCUM'S EMAIL TO ADD ANOTHER SMOKESCREEN FOR MY SIMPLE REQUEST OF STORM WATER ORDINANCE

With respect to Noise Ordinance, I am attaching the standard in the Ordinance. However on the storm drain rules Wayne Marshall, City Planner will need to go through the various sections of the Zoning Ordinance as not ever rule or provision is in the same place. He will have that for you later this week. If you have a specific question about how something applies you can refer your question directly to Wayne.
 _____________________________________________________________________________
THIS IS WAYNE MARSHALL, CITY PLANNER'S OFFERING OF TORTURE AGAIN. MAKE HIM ACCOUNTABLE FOR LYING. CITY COUNCIL MUST DEMAND TO KNOW WHY WAYNE MARSHALL IS ALLOWED TO COVER UP, FLOOD SEAVIEW TERRACE, AND RUIN OUR LIVES. CITY COUNCIL MUST ADDRESS AND RESTORE INTEGRITY AND JUSTICE.

WAYNE DIDN'T PUT THE ACTUAL  APPLICABLE STORM WATER THAT I FOUND ABOVE AND CLEARLY STATES IN HIS EMAIL HERE, THAT THIS IS ALL THERE IS. UNBELIEVABLE STATING THAT WHAT HE HAS GIVEN ME IS TECHNICAL AND WILL REQUIRE HIS EXPLAINING!! THE TRUE ORDINANCE IS CLEARLY UNDERSTANDABLE AND WAYNE IS SLAUGHTERING THE VALUE OF OUR HOMES AND ROBBING MY CHILDREN OF THEIR MOM. FOUL, INDECENT AND HEARTLESS. AFTER 1 YEAR OF SHEER HELL, WAYNE IS FORCED TO PRODUCE THE ORDINANCE THAT HAS BEEN TUCKED AWAY IN HIS DIRTY FILES. LETS SEE IF CITY COUNCIL IS GOING TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT- PUBLIC APOLOGY/ACCOUNTABILITY/ REROUTE ALL STORM WATER OUTSIDE OF SEAVIEW TERRACE (INCLUDING THE SEEPING STORM WATER INTO THE SOUTH SIDE BACKYARDS FROM THE DUMPING BEHIND HUNTRESS GARDENS FROM THE CULVERT CROSSING RTE 1 FROM WHO KNOWS WHAT TOXIC AREA) TO CITY DRAINS, GET THE ANNEX STORM WATER DRAINING ON SITE AND AWAY FROM SEAVIEW, PROVIDE ROADSIDE STORM WATER DRAINAGE AND REPAVE SEAVIEW, REMOVE CULVERTS TAKING ACCUMULATED STORM WATER FROM THE SOUTH SIDE TO THE NORTH SIDE (STREAM) OF SEAVIEW TERRACE, STABILIZE AND RESTORE MY BANKS. WILL THEY CONTINUE TO IGNORE THIS CORRUPTION AND EXHAUST MORE OF OUR TAX DOLLARS IN POLICE PROTECTION AND CITY ATTORNEY THREATS? NOT ON MY WATCH!!

Dear Ms. Allen:

Your email of April 18 to Jennika Lundy was referred to me and I was requested to respond.

You requested information from the City Code of Ordinances regarding stormwater management regulations. I believe the information I provided to Ms. Lundy which she emailed to you on April 3rd is very comprehensive and specific and that it fully responds to your request for information. I have included this same information below.
You can access all of the following information on the City website, cityofbelfast.org, Information can be found under the heading City Government. You should click on the tab labeled, City Ordinances. The table of contents and the accompanying drop down menu included on the left side of the municipal code website can be used to reference each of the citations I provided. For example, the first citation; Chapter 102, Zoning, Article IX, Division 2, Section 102-1123 and 1124, includes the specific Ordinance citations in the Environmental Standards that address applicable regulations for stormwater and sedimentation and erosion.
 
Information from April 3rd Email:

Chapter 102, Zoning, Article IX, Performance Standards, Division 2, Environmental Standards, Section 102-1123 and 1124 --- Note: These standards apply to all residential uses in Belfast and non-residential uses that are not located in one of the zoning districts identified below. These standards were first adopted in the mid-1980's and there have been few changes since their adoption.

Chapter 102 Zoning, Article IX, Performance Standards, Division 3, Nonresidential Performance Standards for the Rte 3 Commercial Zoning District, reference Section 102-1197. Division 4, Nonresidential Performance Standards for the Route 1 South Commercial, Searsport Avenue Commercial, Searsport Avenue Waterfront, Route 141 and Mill Lane Commercial and Route 137 Commercial zoning districts; reference Section 102-1260. (Note - Standard is essentially identical to the Rte 3 standard). Lastly, Division 5, Nonresidential Performance Standards for the Office Park zoning district; reference section 102-1315. (Note - This standard also is essentially identical to the Rte 3 standard). I note that these nonresidential performance standards ONLY apply to nonresidential uses in the above listed zoning districts. All of the above standards were adopted in 2001, when the above zoning districts replaced the Highway Commercial zoning districts.


Chapter 98, Technical Standards, Article III, Street Design Standards, Section 98-88, Stormwater Collection. Article IV, Street Construction Specifications, particularly sections 98-127, curbing and 98-128, Culverts. Article VI., Water Quality, nearly all sections. The Technical Standards were first adopted in November 1998, and are used to implement Chapter 90, Site Plan Ordinance, the City Subdivision Ordinance, and the Zoning Ordinance. While the parking standards section has been overhauled, few changes have been made to other sections of the Technical Standards Ordinance (Chapter 98) since its adoption.


Chapter 90, Site Plan. This Ordinance applies only to projects which require a Site Plan permit. Few individual residences will require a site plan, however, a housing project would require review as a Site Plan. Refer to Chapter 90, Site Plans, Article II, Review Criteria and Procedures, Section 90-41, CE) review, paragraph 16, Stormwater, and Section 90-42 Planning Board Review, paragraph 16, Stormwater. Also, Refer to Article III, Preliminary Plan, Section 90-72, Required Information, Paragraph 14, Drainage/erosion, and paragraph 15, Utilities. Article IV, Final Plan, Section 90-102, Required Information, which requires final engineering for information presented in the preliminary plan noted above.


Subdivision Ordinance. Chapter 1, Section VII- Review Criteria, paragraph 14, Stormwater. Chapter Three, Street and Storm Drainage Construction Standards. I note that the standards in Chapter Three largely have been supplanted by the Chapter 98, Technical Standard.


Chapter 82, Shoreland. I first note that these standards only apply to property located within the Shoreland zone as such is depicted on the City of Belfast Shoreland Map. Reference Article V, Land Use Standards, Division 9, Stormwater Control.


I believe the above citations identify most if not all City standards that apply to stormwater management concerns. I specifically note that many of the standards apply to specific areas (e.g. Shoreland, Rte 3 Commercial) or specific types of development (e.g. Site Plan and Subdivision). Let me know if any questions.


You also asked if the information I identified is current. I will affirm that there have been no changes to the City Code of Ordinances that would affect any of the above referenced Ordinances regarding stormwater within the last 15+ months; post January 1, 2011. Further, I will affirm that there have been no changes to City Ordinances regarding stormwater that would apply to your property for a period of no less than 5 years.

If you would like assistance in reviewing the City Code of Ordinances to identify any of the above citations I am available to offer that assistance. YOU'RE FIRED !! TAKE YOUR EGO AND BULLYING OUT OF BELFAST. STOP DISGRACING THE GOOD PEOPLE! On Behalf of 17 Seaview Terrace, Laurie Allen, Upstanding Citizen
On behalf of the City of Belfast,
