[Adopted 7-2-2001 by Ord. No. 01-9]
It shall be unlawful for any person or entity
to intentionally or unintentionally act in such a manner so as to
impede or obstruct the storm sewers, culverts, natural and man-made
drainage channels, basins, easement areas and/or other related installations
located on lands owned by the Township or a property in which the
Township has an easement or a dedicated right-of-way.
In the event that property owner(s) have been
notified that they are in violation of this article and have failed
to remediate as requested by the Township, then the Township has the
right to restore the property to its original condition and to recoup
such costs of remediation from the property owner(s) in violation.
Anyone violating this article or any part of
this article shall be subject, upon conviction, to one or more of
the following: a fine of not more than $1,000, imprisonment for not
more than 90 days, or a period of community service not to exceed
90 days in the discretion of the court. Each continuing day of violation
after written notice is given by the Township shall constitute a separate
violation under this section of this article. Additionally, to the
extent permitted by law, violations shall run with the land, making
any potential purchasers liable for the above-stated penalties, provided
notice is given to the purchaser in advance of closure of title.
