[Adopted 6-6-2019 by Ord. No. O-4-2019]
No owner, tenant, occupant, person or entity shall permit, divert
or discharge groundwater or stormwater, directly or indirectly, onto
or across any sidewalk, street, public property or other public right-of-way.
Every owner, tenant and/or occupant of any land or building
in the Township of Elk shall mitigate any water diversion or discharge
within the boundaries of their own property, unless an alternate mitigation
plan has been approved by the Township Engineer.
A.
Any person or persons violating any of the provisions of this article
shall, upon conviction thereof, be punished by a fine not less than
$100 and not exceeding $2,000, and/or required to perform up to 90
days' community service. A separate offense shall be deemed committed
for each day during which a violation occurs or continues.
B.
Any person who is convicted of violating this article within one
year of the date of a previous violation of the same article and who
was fined for the previous violation shall be sentenced by the Court
to an additional fine as a repeat offender. The additional fine imposed
by the Court upon a person for a repeated offense shall not be less
than the minimum or exceed the maximum fine fixed for a violation
of this article, but shall be calculated separately from the fine
imposed for the violation of the article.
