The disturbance of the site does not result in damaging erosion and sedimentation control problems in order to protect the health, safety and welfare of the Township presidents. These objectives will be pursued at the Township level in conjunction with state requirements for erosion and sedimentation control, as defined in the DEP [25 Pa.Code,] Chapter 102 regulations, as amended, and defined in the Erosion and Sediment Pollution Control Program Manual.

The site design and preparation incorporates necessary steps to ensure the successful installation and long-term operation of soil erosion and sedimentation control and stormwater management facilities.

The disturbance and removal of topsoil is reduced and avoided.

General Provisions.

The applicant shall prepare a soil erosion and sediment control plan in accordance with the provisions of this section. The plan shall consist of a Phase 1 Plan and a Phase 2 Plan provided on separate sheets as described further under plan content. All land disturbance activities shall be conducted in such a way as to minimize erosion on adjoining and down-slope properties.

A grading, excavation, erosion and sediment control plan shall be submitted with the preliminary and final plan applications. Such plan shall be submitted in accordance with the DEP Erosion and Sediment Pollution Control Manual, as amended, and the Special Protection Waters Implementation Handbook, as amended, and in compliance with the most current review requirements of the Lancaster County Conservation District.

Upon recommendation from the Township Engineer, the Township may require the submission of plans, regardless of their size or other outside review requirements, to the Lancaster County Conservation District for review and approval. In such a case, approval by the Lancaster County Conservation District shall be required before final approval of a subdivision or land development, or the issuance of a building permit in the case of a minor subdivision.

The soil erosion and sediment control plan shall consist of two phases on the base plan for preliminary and final plans as follows:

The Phase 1 soil erosion and sediment control plan shall be prepared on a separate sheet showing all existing features on the site, including the perimeter boundaries. The Phase 1 plan shall show only the minimum earthmoving necessary to install the soil erosion and sediment control measures. Wholesale topsoil stripping or complete earthmoving necessary to build the project shall not be shown. That is, this plan must show the erosion and sediment control items that are required to be in place prior to the start of any large-scale earth disturbance.

The Phase 2 erosion and sediment control plan shall be prepared on a separate sheet. It shall show the complete and final earth disturbance elements of a preliminary or final plan relating to grading, storm drainage, impervious coverage and the like which may affect the design of erosion control and stormwater management facilities. Phase 2 plans shall show the complete and final E & S BMPs proposed to control erosion and stormwater runoff related to construction of these elements. Depending on the complexity of the proposal and the time expected to complete all improvements, more than just a phase two plan may be required, at the discretion of the Township Engineer, in order to demonstrate and assure the control of erosion, sediment and stormwater based on intermediate/partially completed stages of construction. If a preliminary or final plan is itself proposed in phases, a separate soil erosion and sediment control plan shall be prepared for each phase.

Plan Content.

Locations of all soil types, along with a tabulation including special notation of seasonally high water table soils, hydric soils, shallow depth to bedrock or other limiting factors. The tabulation of the soils present on site shall include their hydrologic soil group.

Location and results of all soil percolation tests and deep probes whenever on-site disposal of sewage is planned.

Location and results of all soil infiltration testing where stormwater best management practices incorporate groundwater recharge.

Notations including: all trees or portions of tree masses proposed to be cleared as part of the proposed subdivision or land development plan, together with reasons for such clearing; all proposed alterations of the natural grade, whether by cut or by fill, exceeding two feet, together with reasons for such alteration; compliance with all applicable erosion and sedimentation control standards.

Limit of disturbance lines and any protective fencing which may be proposed, such as, but not limited to, that area around on-lot sewage disposal areas, stormwater infiltration areas, and around individual trees or tree masses (per the requirements of § 22-609).

Required element of any soil erosion and sediment control plan shall be a plan for the control of erosion and sedimentation and for stormwater management. Any preliminary and final soil erosion and sediment control plan for subdivision or land development shall be accompanied by a stormwater management plan in accordance with the provisions of the Penn Township Stormwater Management Ordinance [Chapter 23]. Contents of the submitted plan shall reflect discussion by the applicant with the Township Engineer.

The minimum components of the erosion and sediment control plan are as follows:

A narrative summary of the project, including:

General description of the project.

General description of accelerated erosion control.

General description of sedimentation control.

General description of stormwater management, both during and after construction.

Date project is to begin and expected date final stabilization will be completed.

Proposed alterations to the project area, including:

Structures, roads, paved areas and buildings.

Proposed stormwater control facilities.

Finished contours including areas of cuts and fills.

Changes to vegetative cover.

Calculations and description of the amount of runoff from the project area to swales, pipe discharge points, temporary and permanent basins, sediment traps, etc. Calculations shall be performed for both during and after development. Such calculations shall demonstrate that the capacity of the system to control erosion and to prevent sediment discharges is sufficient to control velocity and quantity of discharge to acceptable limits.

The staging of earthmoving activities, described in the narrative, including:

Installation of erosion and sediment control facilities and practices.

Installation of tree protection fencing per Appendix 22-19.

Cover removal, including all cuts and fills.

Installation of improvements, including streets, storm sewers, underground utilities, sewer and water lines, buildings, driveways, parking areas, recreational facilities and other structures.

Program of operations to convert erosion and sedimentation controls to permanent stormwater management facilities, including a chart of the relative time sequence of activities.

Compliance with Regulations and Procedures.

The Township, in considering preliminary subdivision and land development plans shall condition its approval upon the execution of soil erosion and sediment control measures as required by this chapter.

Each application shall contain a commitment to submit for approval, a modified soil erosion and sediment control plan should the proposed plan prove to be inadequate prior to final release of escrow and dedication of improvements.
