Section 323.2205. Discharge prohibitions.

Rule 2205.(1) A person shall not discharge without an authorization under R 323.2204.

(2)      A person shall not discharge through a general purpose floor drain unless authorized by R 323.2210(v) or under R 323.2215 or R 323.2218.

(3)      A person shall not discharge wastewater originating from a structure within 200 feet of an available public sanitary sewer system, except for a discharge of noncontact cooling water or a discharge from  a  groundwater remediation activity. For sanitary sewage, an available public sanitary sewer system is defined by section 12751(a) of Act No. 368 of the Public Acts of 1978, as amended, being R333.12751(a) of the Michigan Compiled Laws. For any other discharge, the department shall make a determination of availability based on the ability of the public  sanitary  sewer  system to treat the wastewater and the costs associated with providing the treatment. Except for sanitary sewage, this subrule  does  not  apply   to  an  existing discharge authorized under the provisions of part 31 at the time of adoption of these rules.
