Any owner, developer or subdivider of property
within the Township of Montville who for purposes of construction,
development or soil removal transports soil to and from the property
in question or during the process of site construction shall take
the necessary measures to prevent the spilling or tracking of soil
onto public streets entering and leading to the site. The owner, developer
or subdivider shall be responsible for cleaning, sweeping and maintaining
the streets when in the opinion of the Township Engineer the spilling

eliminate the hazardous or unsightly conditions. If the owner, developer
or subdivider shall fail to rectify the problem within the prescribed

of Public Works to clean the street surface. The Township shall be
reimbursed for any maintenance work at the rate of two times the prevailing

Should the owner, developer or subdivider not make prompt payment,
