Form ER-BWQ-359, "Application for Planning Module for Land Development,"
commonly known as the "postcard" submission, whereby DEP will indicate
to the developer which module components to complete and make other
guiding recommendations, as well as establish a DEP code number for
the project.
(b)
The developer shall meet with a representative
from DEP and the Township Sewage Enforcement Officer (SEO) to discuss
the land development with relationship to the Sewage Facilities Act
"Official Plan."
(c)
The developer shall provide all information
as required by the Planning Module for Land Development (PMLD). The
developer shall submit the completed PMLD to the Township as part
of the supporting data of the preliminary plan submission. Under certain
circumstances, a PMLD is not required. The Township SEO shall be contacted
to verify those conditions.
(d)
The Township shall review the PMLD and take
municipal action within 30 days of receipt of the completed module.
(e)
Preliminary plan shall not be approved by the
municipality until written approval of the PMLD is received from DEP
modules will be reviewed for completeness and conformance to the requirements
of the Sewage Facilities Act and Regulations promulgated there under
25 Pa. Code, Chapters 71, 72 and 73. Incomplete module submissions
will be returned to the applicant and will not be considered for review
until complete.
(f)
The number and spacing of soil profile studies
and percolation tests required for module preparation shall be sufficient
to justify adequate sewage facility planning for the proposed land
development and shall contain general site suitability and soil mapping
designations.
(g)

and clearly represented on plans and supporting documents, for evaluation.
(h)
The developer shall retain a soil scientist,
hydrogeologist, or other competent professional to perform soil evaluations,
percolation tests and additional studies, if required, by DEP or Township
SEO. If soil testing is to be performed by someone other than the
Township SEO, then the Township SEO will function only to observe
the soil tests and review submitted material in accordance with this
chapter.
(i)
Prior to plan approval, the developer shall
test and locate, on each lot, a suitable primary and secondary absorption
area. These areas shall be staked in the field and protected until
such time as the system(s) are constructed and final grading completed
on the lot. No permit will be issued until the site is adequately
marked. Any disturbance to the site by grading, equipment, traffic
or material storage may be cause for permit denial.
A.
Final plan drafting requirements. A final plan for
development shall comprise the following:
(1)
Drafting requirements. The submitted final plan shall conform to the drafting requirements as specified in §§ 22-16 and 22-17.

(See Appendix C[1] attached hereto)
