GENERAL REFERENCES
Stormwater management — See Ch. 175, Art. X.
Persons installing stormwater piping, controls, or best management
practices facilities that fall within state rights-of-way shall be
required to make a deposit to the East Norriton Township Stormwater
Maintenance Fund (the "maintenance fund"). The amount of the deposit
shall be calculated for 10 years of operation and maintenance expenses
and at a rate of $0.15 per cubic foot of pipe per year based on the
total amount of stormwater piping within the state right-of-way.
If a proposed stormwater piping, controls or best management
practices facility also serves as a recreational facility, the Township
may reduce or waive the maintenance fund deposit based upon the value
of the land for public recreational purposes.
If, subsequent to deposit into the maintenance fund, a stormwater
piping, control or best management practices facility (whether publicly
or privately owned) is eliminated due to the installation of storm
sewers or other storage facilities, the unused portion of the deposit
will be applied to the cost of abandoning the facility and connecting
to the storm sewer system or other facility. Any remaining deposit
amount after the costs of abandonment are paid will be returned to
the depositor.
Should stormwater piping, controls or best management practices
be accepted by the Township for dedication, the Township shall require
persons installing stormwater piping, controls or best management
practices facilities to pay an amount to the maintenance fund. The
amount of the deposit shall be calculated for 10 years of operation
and maintenance expenses and at a rate of $0.025 per square foot of
drainage area tributary to the stormwater piping, controls, or best
management practices facility.
The Township may require applicants to pay a fee, in accordance
with the Township's Fee Schedule, to the maintenance fund to
cover stormwater-related problems which may arise from the land development
and earth disturbance activities on existing stormwater piping, controls
or best management practices facilities.
