Noxious liquids. It is unlawful and deemed a nuisance to discharge out of or from, or permit to flow from any house or place in the Town, any foul or noxious liquid or substance of any kind whatsoever into or upon any adjacent ground or lot, into any street, alley or public place or into any municipal storm sewer system in the Town, except discharges described in the Town of Parker Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Manual.

(b)

Liquid fuel products. Neighborhood Services finds and declares that the leakage of twenty-five (25) gallons or more of liquid fuel products into the environment of the Town from any tank, line or delivery vehicle constitutes a danger to the health, safety and welfare of the general public and the citizens of the Town and is, therefore, a public nuisance.

(2)

Such owner, station manager or leaseholder, as operator, shall also maintain and reconcile accurate daily inventory records on all underground liquid fuel tanks for indication of possible leakage from tanks or piping.

(c)

Leaking receptacles - offensive channels. Any unclean, leaking, foul, unsafe or dangerous, defective or filthy drain, ditch, trail or gutter, or any leaking or broken slop, garbage or manure box or receptacle of like character, whenever or wherever found in the Town, is deemed a nuisance.

(d)

Harmful chemicals. It is unlawful and deemed a nuisance for any property owner to apply or use any herbicide, pesticide, insecticide, rodenticide, disinfectant, fumigant or other harmful chemical, gas or vapor upon his or her property in such a manner that the harmful chemical, gas or vapor leaches, escapes, migrates or flows from his or her property and deposits in or on any other public or private property.
