For any of the activities regulated by this chapter and not eligible for the exemptions provided in §
170-302, the final approval of subdivision and/or land development plans, the issuance of any building or occupancy permit, or the commencement of any land disturbance activity, may not proceed until the applicant has received written approval of an SWM site plan from the Township.
A modification to a submitted SWM site plan and report for a
development site that involves a change in stormwater management facilities
or techniques, or that involves the relocation or redesign of stormwater
management facilities, or that is necessary because soil or other
conditions are not as stated on the SWM site plan as determined by
the Township, shall require a resubmission of the modified SWM site
plan in accordance with this chapter.
A disapproved SWM site plan and report may be resubmitted, with
the revisions addressing the Township's concerns documented in
writing, to the Township in accordance with this chapter. The applicable
Township review fee must accompany a resubmission of a disapproved
SWM site plan and report.
The Township's approval of an SWM site plan and report
authorizes the regulated activities contained in the SWM site plan
for a maximum term of validity of five years following the date of
approval. The Township may specify a term of validity shorter than
five years in the approval for any specific SWM site plan. Terms of
validity shall commence on the date the Township signs the approval
for an SWM site plan. If stormwater management facilities included
in the approved SWM site plan have not been constructed, or if a record
drawing of these facilities has not been approved within this time,
then the Township may consider the SWM site plan disapproved and may
revoke any and all permits or approvals.
