Disturbance for the purpose of this rule is the placement of impervious surface or exposure 
and/or movement of soil or bedrock or clearing, cutting, or removing of vegetation. Projects 
undertaken by any government agency which otherwise meet the definition of "major 
development" but which do not require approval under the Municipal Land Use Law,  
N.J.S.A. 40:55F-1 et seq., are also considered "major development."
No
All Major Development projects within the Borough go through an Engineering Review which 
includes Ordinance Compliance

SPPP Form 12 – Outfall Pipes 
All records must be available upon request by NJDEP. 
1. Mapping:  Attach an image or provide a link to the most current outfall pipe map.  Maps shall
be updated at the end of each calendar year.
Note that ALL maps must be electronic by 21 Dec 2020 via the DEP’s designated electronic 
submission service. For details, see http://www.nj.gov/dep/dwq/msrp_map_aid.htm. 
2. Inspections:  Describe the outfall pipe inspection schedule and indicate the location of records
of dates, locations, and findings.
3. Stream Scouring:  Describe the program in place to detect, investigate and control localized
stream scouring from stormwater outfall pipes.  Indicate the location of records related to cases
of localized stream scouring.  Such records must include the contributing source(s) of
stormwater, recommended corrective action, and a prioritized list and schedule to remediate
scouring cases.
Outfall pipes are inspected by the Borough Engineer during the spring, summer, and fall 
when able to take a boat along the Passaic River to view them. Due to location on the river 
bank and within private property it is not possible to inspect by land. 
The Borough of North Arlington has checked all outfall pipes for signs of scouring when completing the 
outfall mapping and illicit connection elimination portion of this program. No sites were found to need 
repairs; however, in the future all sites needing repairs will be placed on a prioritized list. Repairs that do not 
need NJDEP permits may be completed first. Repairs will be made in accordance with the Standards for 
Soil Erosion and Sediment Control in New Jersey. The Outfall Pipe Stream Scouring Program has been 
implemented, effective October, 2006. Those Outfall pipes in which scouring had been detected and 
addressed in the past, will be inspected anually there after, to ensure the associated stabilization projects 
were successful. Once it is determined that the scouring repairs have adequately mitigated any subsequent 
scouring, those outfall pipes can again be inspected only once during each five (5) year permit cycle. 
An outfall pipe stream and stream bank scouring maintenance log as been included.
Borough of North Arlington / County of Bergen / NJG0150789/ August 8, 2019

indicate the location of these forms and related illicit discharge records.
Note that Illicit Connection Inspection Report Forms shall be included in the SPPP and
submitted to DEP with the annual report.
No illicit connections were identified at this time. In the future if any are discovered the DEP's 
Illicit Connection Inspection Report Form will be filled out and filed with the proper authorities.
