[Added 3-2-2005 by Ord. No. 2005-1]
The Board of Supervisors of Lower Salford Township
finds that:
A.
Stormwater runoff from lands modified by human activities
threatens public health and safety by causing decreased infiltration
of rainwater and increased runoff flows and velocities, which overtax
the carrying capacity of existing streams and storm sewers, and greatly
increases the cost to the public to manage stormwater.
B.
Inadequate planning and management of stormwater runoff
resulting from land development and redevelopment throughout a watershed
can also harm surface water resources by changing the natural hydrologic
patterns, accelerating stream flows (which increase scour and erosion
of streambeds and streambanks thereby elevating sedimentation), destroying
aquatic habitat and elevating aquatic pollutant concentrations and
loadings such as sediments, nutrients, heavy metals and pathogens.
Groundwater resources are also impacted through loss of recharge.
C.
A program of stormwater management, including reasonable
regulation of land development and redevelopment causing loss of natural
infiltration, is fundamental to the public health, safety, welfare,
and the protection of the people of the Township and all the people
of the commonwealth, their resources, and the environment.
D.
Stormwater can be an important water resource by providing
groundwater recharge for water supplies and base flow of streams,
which also protects and maintains surface water quality.
E.
Public education on the control of pollution from
stormwater is an essential component in successfully addressing stormwater.
F.
Federal and state regulations require certain municipalities
to implement a program of stormwater controls. These municipalities
are required to obtain a permit for stormwater discharges from their
separate storm sewer systems under the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES).
G.
Non-stormwater discharges to separate municipal storm
sewer systems can contribute to pollution of waters of the commonwealth
by municipalities.
The purpose of this article is to promote health,
safety, and welfare within the Township and its watersheds by minimizing
the harms and maximizing the benefits through provisions designed
to:
A.
Manage stormwater runoff impacts at their source by
regulating activities that cause the problems.
B.
Provide review procedures and performance standards
for stormwater planning and management.
C.
Utilize and preserve the existing natural drainage
systems as much as possible.
D.
Manage stormwater impacts close to the runoff source,
which requires a minimum of structures and relies on natural processes.
E.
Focus on infiltration of stormwater, to maintain groundwater
recharge, to prevent degradation of surface and groundwater quality
and to otherwise protect water resources.
F.
Maintain existing flows and quality of streams and
watercourses.
G.
Meet legal water quality requirements under state
law, including regulations at 25 Pa Code Chapter 93.4a to protect
and maintain existing uses and maintain the level of water quality
to support those uses in all streams, and to protect and maintain
water quality in special protection streams.
H.
Prevent scour and erosion of streambanks and streambeds.
I.
Provide for proper operations and maintenance of all
permanent stormwater management BMPs that are implemented in the Township.
J.
Provide a mechanism to identify controls necessary
to meet the NPDES permit requirements.
K.
Implement an illegal discharge detection and elimination
program to address non-stormwater discharges into the Township's separate
storm sewer system.
The Township is empowered to regulate land use
activities that affect stormwater impacts by the authority of the
Second Class Township Code, 53 P.S. §§ 10503, 67703
and 67704.
A.
This article applies to any regulated earth disturbance
activities within the Township and to all stormwater runoff entering
into the Township's separate storm sewer system from lands within
the boundaries of the Township.
B.
Earth disturbance activities and associated stormwater
management controls are also regulated under existing state law and
implementing regulations. This article shall operate in coordination
with those parallel requirements; the requirements of this article
shall be no less restrictive in meeting the purposes of this article
than state law.
A.
Approvals issued and actions taken under this article
do not relieve the applicant of the responsibility to secure required
permits or approvals for activities regulated by any other code, law,
regulation or ordinance. To the extent that this article imposes more
rigorous or stringent requirements for stormwater management, the
specific requirements contained in this article shall be followed.
B.
Nothing in this article shall be construed to affect
any of the Township's requirements regarding stormwater matters which
do not conflict with the provisions of this article, such as local
stormwater management design criteria (e.g., inlet spacing, inlet
type, collection system design and details, outlet structure design,
etc.). Conflicting provisions in other municipal ordinances or regulations
shall be construed to retain the requirements of this article addressing
state water quality requirements.
A.

but not limited to, any pipe, ditch, channel, tunnel, or conduit from
which stormwater is or may be discharged, as defined in state regulations
at 25 Pa. Code § 92.1.
The specific area of land where any regulated earth disturbance
activities in the Township are planned, conducted or maintained.
Earth disturbance activities on land which has previously
been disturbed or developed.
Any earth disturbance activity one acre or more with a point
source discharge to surface waters or the Township's storm sewer system,
or five acres or more regardless of the planned runoff. This includes
earth disturbance on any portion of, part, or during any stage of,
a larger common plan of development. This only includes road maintenance
activities involving 25 acres or more of earth disturbance.
Earth disturbance activities within the existing road cross
section, such as grading and repairing existing unpaved road surfaces,
cutting road banks, cleaning or clearing drainage ditches and other
similar activities.
A conveyance or system of conveyances (including roads with
drainage systems, Township streets, catch basins, curbs, gutters,
ditches, man-made channels or storm drains) primarily used for collecting
and conveying stormwater runoff.
As defined under state regulations (protection of designated
and existing uses, 25 Pa. Code Chapters 93 and 96) including:
Each stream segment in Pennsylvania has a designated
use, such as cold water fishery or potable water supply, which is
listed in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 93. These uses must be protected and
maintained under state regulations.
"Existing uses" are those attained as of November
1975, regardless whether they have been designated in 25 Pa. Code
Chapter 93. Regulated earth disturbance activities must be designed
to protect and maintain existing uses and maintain the level of water
quality necessary to protect those uses in all streams and to protect
and maintain water quality in special protection streams.
Water quality involves the chemical, biological
and physical characteristics of surface water bodies. After regulated
earth disturbance activities are complete, these characteristics can
be impacted by addition of pollutants such as sediment, and changes
in habitat through increased flow volumes and/or rates as a result
of changes in land surface area from those activities. Therefore,
permanent discharges to surface waters must be managed to protect
the streambank, streambed and structural integrity of the waterway
to prevent these impacts.
The surface runoff generated by precipitation reaching the
ground surface.
Any and all rivers, streams, creeks, rivulets, impoundments,
ditches, watercourses, storm sewers, lakes, dammed water, wetlands,
ponds, springs, and all other bodies or channels of conveyance of
surface water, or parts thereof, whether natural or artificial, within
or on the boundaries of this commonwealth.
Lower Salford Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
A channel or conveyance of surface water, such as a stream
or creek, having defined bed and banks, whether natural or artificial,
with perennial or intermittent flow.
Region or area drained by a river, watercourse or other body
of water, whether natural or artificial.
A.
All regulated earth disturbance activities within
the Township shall be designed, implemented, operated and maintained
to meet the purposes of this article, through these two elements:
B.
No regulated earth disturbance activities within the
Township shall commence until the requirements of this article are
met.
C.
Erosion and sediment control during regulated earth disturbance activities shall be addressed as required by § 142-113.
E.
All best management practices (BMPs) used to meet
the requirements of this article shall conform to the state water
quality requirements, and any more stringent requirements as determined
by the Township.
F.
Techniques described in Appendix A (Low-Impact Development)
of this article[1] are encouraged, because they reduce the costs of complying
with the requirements of this article and the state water quality
requirements.
[1]
Editor's Note: Appendix A is included at the end of this chapter.
The following permit requirements may apply
to certain regulated earth disturbance activities, and must be met
prior to commencement of regulated earth disturbance activities, as
applicable:
A.
All regulated earth disturbance activities subject to permit requirements by DEP under regulations at 25 Pa. Code Chapter 102.
B.
Work within natural drainageways subject to permit
by DEP under 25 Pa. Code Chapter 105.
C.
Any stormwater management facility that would be located
in or adjacent to surface waters of the commonwealth, including wetlands,
subject to permit by DEP under 25 Pa. Code Chapter 105.
D.
Any stormwater management facility that would be located
on a state highway right-of-way, or require access from a state highway,
shall be subject to approval by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation
(PENNDOT).
E.
Culverts, bridges, storm sewers or any other facilities
which must pass or convey flows from the tributary area and any facility
which may constitute a dam subject to permit by DEP under 25 Pa. Code
Chapter 105.
A.
No regulated earth disturbance activities within the
Township shall commence until approval by the Township of an erosion
and sediment control plan for construction activities.
B.
DEP has regulations that require an erosion and sediment
control plan for any earth disturbance activity of 5,000 square feet
or more, under 25 Pa. Code § 102.4(b).
C.
In addition, under 25 Pa. Code Chapter 92, a DEP NPDES
construction activities permit is required for regulated earth disturbance
activities.
D.
Evidence of any necessary permit(s) for regulated earth disturbance activities from the appropriate DEP regional office or County Conservation District must be provided to the Township. The issuance of an NPDES construction permit (or permit coverage under the statewide general permit) satisfies the requirements of § 142-107A.
E.
A copy of the erosion and sediment control plan and
any required permit, as required by DEP regulations, shall be available
at the project site at all times.
A.
No regulated earth disturbance activities within the
Township shall commence until approval by the Township of a plan which
demonstrates compliance with state water quality requirements after
construction is complete.
B.
The BMPs must be designed, implemented and maintained
to meet state water quality requirements and any other more stringent
requirements as determined by the Township.
C.
To control postconstruction stormwater impacts from
regulated earth disturbance activities, state water quality requirements
can be met by BMPs, including site design, which provide for replication
of preconstruction stormwater infiltration and runoff conditions,
so that postconstruction stormwater discharges do not degrade the
physical, chemical or biological characteristics of the receiving
waters. As described in the DEP Comprehensive Stormwater Management
Policy (No. 392-0300-002, September 28, 2002, as amended from time
to time), this may be achieved by the following:
(1)
Infiltration: replication of preconstruction stormwater
infiltration conditions,
(2)
Treatment: use of water quality treatment BMPs to
ensure filtering out of the chemical and physical pollutants from
the stormwater runoff; and
(3)
Streambank and streambed protection: management of
volume and rate of postconstruction stormwater discharges to prevent
physical degradation of receiving waters (e.g., from scouring).
D.
DEP has regulations that require municipalities to
ensure design, implementation and maintenance of best management practices
(BMPs) that control runoff from new development and redevelopment
after regulated earth disturbance activities are complete. These requirements
include the need to implement postconstruction stormwater BMPs with
assurance of long-term operations and maintenance of those BMPs.
E.
Evidence of any necessary permit(s) for regulated earth disturbance activities from the appropriate DEP regional office must be provided to the Township. The issuance of an NPDES construction permit [or permit coverage under the statewide general permit (PAG-2)] satisfies the requirements of § 142-108A.
A.
No regulated earth disturbance activities within the
Township shall commence until approval by the Township of a BMP operations
and maintenance plan which describes how the permanent (e.g., postconstruction)
stormwater BMPs will be properly operated and maintained.
B.
The following items shall be included in the BMP operations
and maintenance plan:
(1)
Map(s) of the project area, in a form that meets the
requirements for recording at the offices of the Recorder of Deeds
of Montgomery County, and shall be submitted on twenty-four-inch by

stormwater BMPs that would provide ingress to and egress from a public
right-of-way.
(2)
A description of how each permanent stormwater BMP
will be operated and maintained, and the identity of the person(s)
responsible for operations and maintenance;
(3)
The name of the project site, the name and address
of the owner of the property, and the name of the individual or firm
preparing the plan; and
(4)
A statement, signed by the landowner, acknowledging
that the stormwater BMPs are fixtures that can be altered or removed
only after approval by the Township.
A.
The BMP operations and maintenance plan for the project
site shall establish responsibilities for the continuing operation
and maintenance of all permanent stormwater BMPs, as follows:
(1)
If a plan includes structures or lots which are to
be separately owned and in which streets, sewers and other public
improvements are to be dedicated to the Township, stormwater BMPs
may also be dedicated to and maintained by the Township;
(2)
If a plan includes operations and maintenance by a
single ownership, or if sewers and other public improvements are to
be privately owned and maintained, then the operation and maintenance
of stormwater BMPs shall be the responsibility of the owner or private
management entity.
