be returned to the source of supply.
G.
All pavements, regardless of type, will be constructed
at the density required by the Township Engineer.

Pipes are to be laid true to line and grade as established
by the approved plans, and no curvature or departure from a perfectly straight
alignment, either vertically or horizontally, will be permitted.

unless waived by the Township Engineer. Proper channels must be poured in
all drainage structures, and pipes are to be cut off flush with structure
walls.
G.
All curbing is to be constructed on a firm and thoroughly
tamped subgrade. No departure from true alignment and grade will be permitted.
Cracked or otherwise damaged curb will not be approved. Expansion joints are
to be placed at twenty-foot intervals and false joints at the midpoint of

For electrical work, refer to Division 6 of the Green
Book.
B.
All utility trenches for electrical services or similar
services, such as underground telephone, are to be backfilled and tamped as
directed by the Township Engineer similar to trenches for other utilities,
including storm sewers. All road crossings must be made and backfilled prior
to commencement of the paving operation.
C.
Underground utilities. Every new structure hereinafter constructed, or an existing structure which is expanded or restructured following destruction, renovation or rehabilitation, in either case, in excess of 50% of the then current assessed value of the structure prior to said expansion, or destruction, renovation or rehabilitation, not otherwise subject to regulation pursuant to Chapter 310, Subdivision of Land and Site Plan Review, if it is to be connected to a utility service (that is, by way of example, electric, gas or cable television) shall be served only by underground connection. If, by reason of an unusual topographic or subsurface condition, the provision of underground utility service shall present extreme physical or economic hardship, then relief may be requested from the Township Committee at a public hearing, as otherwise provided for in this Code.

A.
Trees larger than three inches in diameter shall be saved
wherever possible and shall be protected from damage. The Township Engineer
shall designate those trees which are to be saved. Fill may not be placed
around trees. Tree wells are to be provided where necessary and trees to remain
within the improvement project limits are to be trimmed as directed by the
Township Engineer.
B.
Landscaping within the right-of-way or easement will
be as required by the Township.
Those sections of the Green Book regarding materials and tests are to
be adhered to unless waived for specific reasons by the Township Engineer.
A.
Sanitary sewers and appurtenances is a special division
which is not covered by the Green Book. While the Township does not have presently
any sanitary sewers available in the way of treatment facilities, pumping
stations, force mains, etc., where such facilities may in the future exist,
the applicant is bound by any rules adopted by any Township body having jurisdiction
over sanitary sewers.
B.
At such time, sanitary sewers are to be located, designed
and constructed in strict accordance with the rules and regulations currently
in effect and promulgated by the New Jersey State Department of Environmental
Protection. Permits required by that Department must be applied for and obtained
by the applicant. Approval of plans is also required at that time by the Township
Engineer and the Township body having jurisdiction over sanitary sewers.
D.
Gravity sanitary sewer pipe must be cast or ductile iron,
vitrified clay or asbestos cement as shown on the plans. Approved classes
and types of pipe must be appropriate for the intended installation. All pipe
is to be installed in a manner designated by the Township Engineer to protect
against shear or any type of breakage. Force mains are to be constructed of
ductile iron.
E.
Sewers will be tested by the applicant under the inspection
of and as directed by the Township Engineer for infiltration and must meet
infiltration standards established by the State Department of Environmental
Protection. Sewers will be initially tested upon completion and subsequent
tests will be required periodically until the sewer improvement is accepted
by the Township at the end of the maintenance period. All defects found will
be corrected immediately. Hard-to-locate sources of infiltration or inflow
may require televising at the expense of the applicant.
F.
Treatment facilities, pumping stations, metering pits,
force mains and other sanitary sewer appurtenances require approval permits
and testing as required above for sanitary sewers.
G.
All gravity house laterals are to be provided with an
observation/cleanout hole at a location directed by the Township Engineer.
H.
It is the obligation of the applicant to arrange with
the appropriate agency for the sewer capacity he requires.
A.
Public water and appurtenances is a special division
which is not required by the Green Book. The Township does not presently have
public water available within its confines, but where such facilities may
exist in the future, the applicant is bound by any rules adopted by any Township
body having jurisdiction over public water facilities. If water is furnished
within the Township by a body other than the Township government itself, such
permits as may be required by that other body must be secured by the applicant
and the rules of that body are to be adhered to as well as the rules herein.
B.
Water facilities are to be located, designed and constructed
in strict conformance with the rules and regulations promulgated by the New
Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. Permits required by said Department
must be applied for and obtained by the applicant. Approval of plans is also
required by the Township Engineer and the Township body, if any, having jurisdiction
over public water supplies.
C.
Water mains and the portion of services within the road
right-of-way are to bedded and backfilled as required by the Township Engineer
and the detail exhibit.[1] All pipe trenches are to be backfilled and tamped as required
by Article 2.7.3 of the Green Book.
[1]
Editor's Note: Exhibit A is on file in the Clerk's office.
D.
Water pipe must be of the type and material specified
by the agency responsible for supplying and/or regulating the supply of water
within the Township.
E.
Fire hydrants are to be located where directed by the
Fire Department serving the area of the project and must be the type designated
by that Fire Department so as to be compatible with fire-fighting equipment.
F.
Fire hydrants and the total water supply facility for
the project must be certified by a qualified independent agency as meeting
the minimum requirements for fire flows and domestic use. With respect to
fire flows, certification is required from the Insurance Services Office of
New Jersey.
G.
It is the obligation of the applicant to arrange for
the water capacity he requires with the appropriate supplier and to furnish
documented proof of the supplier's ability to supply.
[Amended 2-4-1988 by Ord. No. 88-2]
Any of the improvements to be installed under this chapter may require,
in addition to the provisions herein, permits for the construction and occupancy
of structures falling under the jurisdiction of the uniform construction codes
and the Construction Code Official.[1] It is the obligation of the applicant to ascertain the need for
such additional permits and to obtain the same for items such as but not limited
to pump houses, treatment facility buildings, construction offices and warehouses.
A.
Improvements necessary to the proposed project or required
for the project and not specifically covered by the Green Book or by other
sections of this chapter must follow normally accepted standards for the design
and construction of those improvements currently in use in the area. Examples
of items which might fall under this category are stormwater detention-retention
devices, drainage swales, recharge wells, filter berms and others, without
limitation. Improvements of this nature are to be based on design criteria
currently being used in the Township and specifications are to be approved
by the Township Engineer.
B.
Unique or unusual engineering solutions to problems which
result in improvements under the purview of this chapter will be reviewed
on a case-to-case basis, and the applicant is expected to supplement his submission
of plans with proof that the solution has functioned satisfactorily elsewhere.
