225. A modification to a storm water management system is exempted from authorization pursuant to this Division on the following conditions:

(1)  the specifications for the work are prepared in accordance with the standard specification BNQ 1809-300 or at least meet the requirements of that specification for the work concerned;

(2)  the completion of the work is not likely to cause the discharge or diversion of wastewater into the environment;

(3)  if storm water is infiltrated into the soil, the bottom of the works used for infiltration is situated at least 1 m above bedrock level or above the seasonal peak groundwater level established on the basis of the oxidation-reduction level observed;

(3.1)  no discharge point is added to the system;

(3.2)  if there is relocation of an existing discharge point, the receiving watercourse remains the same;

(4)  if the modification involves piping a ditch,

(a)  the storm water is not diverted to another drainage basin;

(b)  the watershed where the storm water is directed contains more than 65% forest cover by area, and less than 10% by area within the urbanization perimeter of a municipality;

(c)  (subparagraph revoked);

(d)  the discharge point is not located in a lake;

(e)  the wastewater cannot come into contact with a wetland not situated on a riverbank or in the littoral zone of a watercourse via surface runoff;

(f)  the system does not feed into a combined sewer system;

(5)  if the modification concerns the replacement of a pipe in a system in the 10 final metres before the discharge point:

(a)  if the work is performed by the minister responsible for the respecting roads (chapter V-9), the area of the drained surface, as calculated at the discharge point, remains unchanged and no impermeable surface area is added to the drained surface;

(b)  in other cases, the diameter of the replacement pipe is equal to or smaller than the initial pipe;

(6)  if the modification concerns a flow control device or a water retaining works, the work does not reduce the storage volume of the storm water management works or increase its evacuation capacity.

The conditions provided for in the first paragraph do not apply to the modifications referred to in sections 224 and 226.
