[Ord. 441, 7/2/2012]
This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the "Borough
of New Oxford Stormwater Management Ordinance."
[Ord. 441, 7/2/2012]
The Borough of New Oxford is empowered to regulate land use
activities that affect stormwater impacts by the authority of the
Act of October 4, 1978, P.L. 864 (Act 167), 32 P.S. § 680.1
et seq., as amended, the Storm Water Management Act, and the Borough
Code, 53 P.S. § 45101 et seq.
[Ord. 441, 7/2/2012]
Any other ordinance provision or regulation of the Borough of
New Oxford inconsistent with any of the provisions of this chapter
is hereby repealed to give this chapter full force and effect to the
extent of the inconsistency only.
[Ord. 441, 7/2/2012]
In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction declares
any section, clause or provision of this chapter invalid, such decision
shall not affect the validity of any of the remaining sections, clauses
or provisions of this chapter.
[Ord. 441, 7/2/2012]
Approvals issued and actions taken under this chapter do not
relieve the applicant of the responsibility to secure required permits
or approvals for activities regulated by any other code, law, regulation,
or ordinance. In the event of a conflict between this chapter and
any other ordinance, the more restrictive ordinance shall apply.
[Ord. 441, 7/2/2012]
Any permit or authorization issued or approved based on false,
misleading or erroneous information provided by an applicant is void
without the necessity of any proceedings for revocation. Any work
undertaken or use established pursuant to such permit or other authorization
is unlawful. No action may be taken by the Borough Council or any
board, agency or employee of the Borough of New Oxford purporting
to validate such a violation.
[Ord. 441, 7/2/2012]
Notwithstanding any provision(s) of this chapter, including
exemptions, any landowner or any person engaged in the alteration
or development of land which may affect stormwater runoff characteristics
shall implement such measures as are reasonably necessary to prevent
injury to health, safety, or other property. Such measures shall include
actions as are required to manage the rate, volume, direction, and
quality of resulting stormwater runoff in a manner which adequately
protects health, property and water quality.
