Surface water management plans shall be reviewed by the Land Use Board with the advice and assistance of the Township Engineer, the Soil Conservation District and the Environmental Commission. The Land Use Board's consideration of applications shall be guided by but not limited to the following factors:
A. 
The suitability of the applicant's proposed surface water management measures, devices and planning techniques, whether involving on-site or off-site measures or some combination thereof, in respect to the total surface water runoff, velocities and rates of discharge which the applicant's proposed construction or land disturbance may generate.
B. 
Existing topography, present vegetation and hydrologic soil factors as shown on the map, Hydrologic Soils, United States Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service, Franklin Township Stormwater Management Study, June 1, 1973, subject to field verification.
C. 
Groundwater recharge and discharge areas, wet soils and seasonally high groundwater table as shown on the map, Alluvial, Poorly Drained and Somewhat Poorly Drained Soils, United States Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service, Franklin Township Stormwater Management Study, June 1, 1974, subject to field verification.
D. 
The design storm.
E. 
Natural drainage flow and pattern throughout the subwatersheds affected by the plan.
F. 
Land uses in both the immediate vicinity and surrounding drainage region.
G. 
Any other applicable or relevant environmental and resource protection ordinances, statutes and regulations.
H. 
Any other factors relevant to the coordinated, adjusted and harmonious development of the site, vicinity, Township and region.
If, after considering the above factors and after consultation with the Township Engineer, Soil Conservation District and Environmental Commission, the Land Use Board determines that the proposed land disturbance or construction will generate no surface water runoff that will not be managed in accordance with standards of this chapter or will not be detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare in light of the paramount interest in the prevention of conditions which may result in surface water runoff damage, the Board shall approve the plan and issue the necessary permit.
If, however, after considering the above factors and after consultation with the Township Engineer, Soil Conservation District and the Township Environmental Commission, the Land Use Board determines that the proposed land disturbance or construction will generate surface water runoff which will not be managed in accordance with the standards of this chapter and which will be detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare in light of the paramount public interest in the prevention of conditions which may result in surface water runoff damage and environmental degradation, the Board shall deny the permit and shall clearly and concisely state the reasons.
