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.
C. 
Sanitary sewers, including laterals, are to be bedded and backfilled as required by the Township Engineer and the detail exhibit.[1] Pipe trenches are to be backfilled and tamped as required by Article 2.7.3 of the Green Book.

Editor's Note: Exhibit A is on file in the Clerk's office.
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.

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.

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.

Editor's Note: See Ch. 155, Construction Codes, Uniform.
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.
