No land area shall be disturbed by any person, partnership, corporation, municipal corporation or other public agency within this municipality unless the applicant has submitted to the Construction Official a plan to provide for soil erosion and sediment control for such land area in accordance with the Standards for Erosion and Sediment Control promulgated by the New Jersey State Soil Conservation Committee and such plan has been approved and a valid land disturbance permit has been issued by the Construction Official, except as exempted by Article
IX.
The Construction Official shall grant approval or denial of the plan,
in writing, within a period of 30 days of submission of a complete application,
unless, by mutual agreement in writing, this period is extended for an additional
30 days. A copy of the decision and other pertinent data shall be sent to
the Morris County Soil Conservation District. Failure of the Construction
Official to make a decision within the aforementioned time period or such
extension thereof shall constitute approval. The applicant shall be provided
with a written notice of such decision by the Construction Official or other
authorized municipal agent. A copy of such decision, including the name of
the applicant, site location by street address and block and lot number and
proposed land use, shall be sent to the Morris County Soil Conservation District.
The Borough shall also make available such other information as may be required
by the District.
Soil erosion and sediment control plans shall be reviewed by the Borough
Engineer and approved when in conformance with the Standards for Erosion and
Sediment Control. The Borough Engineer may seek the assistance of the Morris
County Soil Conservation District in the review of such plans and may deem
as approved those plans which have been reviewed and determined adequate by
said District.
