A.
Except as exempted by § 99-5, no person shall do any clearing, stripping, grading, construction or other activity involving the disturbance of natural terrain or vegetative ground cover unless he has applied for and obtained a valid grading permit from the Borough Engineer. Specifically, the following activities require a grading permit:
(1)
Modifying, disturbing, blocking, diverting or otherwise adversely
affecting the natural overland or subsurface flow of stormwater.
(2)
Construction, erection or installation of any drainage dam, ditch,
culvert, drain pipe, bridge or any other structure or obstruction
affecting the drainage of any premises.
(3)
Filling, clearing, stripping, excavating and grading of any land,
including stockpiling (temporary or permanent) of excavated or fill
material.
B.
Prior to beginning work associated with a grading permit, an applicant
shall provide proof that the applicant or applicant's representative
has applied for and/or obtained all necessary permits and approvals,
including, but not limited to, permits granted by DEP.
C.
Where proposed work relates to a land development plan approved under the Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance (Chapter 163), the Borough Engineer may grant a grading permit prior to the developer's compliance with all applicable conditions of such approval.
D.
One grading permit may cover all of the grading on one site. If a
major development, such as a planned residential development or a
planned industrial park, is proposed for one continuous parcel or
under a single phase of construction, then one grading permit may
be applied for and approved.
E.
Where a major development is proposed and the work is to be completed
on more than one parcel or under more than one phase of construction,
the Borough Engineer may require the applicant to submit more than
one grading permit application.
F.
Where major modifications or alterations are proposed for work covered
by an existing grading permit, the Borough Engineer may require that
an application for a new grading permit be submitted.
A.
A grading permit will not be required for any of the following situations:
(1)
An excavation that does not exceed a total of 100 cubic yards.
(2)
An excavation for a basement, footing of a building, swimming pool
or underground structure authorized by a building permit, and an excavation
of a driveway between a building site and the street.
(3)
A single-family dwelling site where the land disturbance is less
than 1.0 acres.
(4)
Authorized Borough capital improvement and public works projects;
provided, however, that erosion and sedimentation control measures
as approved by the Borough have been and are being employed.
(5)
Accepted agricultural land management practices, such as plowing,
nursery operations, removal and/or transplanting of cultivated sod,
shrubs and trees and tree cutting at or above existing ground and
logging operations leaving the stump, ground cover and root mat intact.
A.
Whenever the Borough Engineer determines that any existing excavation,
retaining wall, embankment or fill has become a hazard, the owner
of the property upon which the excavation, retaining wall, embankment
or fill is located, or other person or agent in control of said property,
shall, upon receipt of notice in writing from the Borough Engineer
and within the reasonable period specified therein, repair, reconstruct
or remove such excavation, retaining wall, embankment or fill so as
to eliminate the hazard.
B.
If, after such notification, the property owner or other person has
not made the necessary repairs within the time requested, then the
Borough may make the required repairs and the cost thereof shall be
borne by the property owner by a lien or judgment obtained as provided
by law.
A.
To obtain a grading permit, an applicant shall first file a written
application upon forms furnished by the Borough, including three copies
of the application and required plans, specifications and timing schedule
with the Borough. The application must be signed by the owner of the
property or an authorized agent. If the owner is a corporation, firm,
business, partnership, association, limited liability company, or
any other legal entity, it must be signed by the authorized agent
thereof.
B.
A separate application shall be required for each site.
D.
Three types of grading permits exist within the Borough based on
the number of cubic yards to be graded. For excavations between 101
and 500 cubic yards, a minor grading permit shall be issued. For excavations
between 501 and 5,000 cubic yards, a standard grading permit will
be required. For excavations greater than 5,000 cubic yards, a major
grading permit will be required. An inspection by the Borough Code
Enforcement Officer shall be required prior to commencing the excavation.
The minor grading permit may require a site plan or sketch pursuant
to the Code Enforcement Officer's visit.
E.
The plans, specifications, timing schedule and accompanying application
shall be submitted to the Borough prior to commencement of any such
activity and shall include the following data:
(1)
Describe the land on which the proposed work is to be done by lot,
block, tract or street address or similar description, which will
readily identify and locate the proposed work.
(2)
Provide a plan of the site, prepared by a professional engineer,
surveyor or landscape architect drawn to an appropriate scale:
(a)
The boundary lines of the site on which the work is to be performed,
including the approximate acreage of the site.
(b)
Existing topography on the site, including the location of any
buildings, structures, utilities, sewers, water and storm drains,
wooded areas and other significant natural features.
(c)
Proposed improvements on the site, including proposed contours
of the land after completion of the proposed grading.
(d)
All drainage provisions, erosion and sediment control measures,
vegetative practices or other protective devices to be constructed
in connection with or as part of the proposed work.

The name of the proposed development, and names and addresses
of the owner, developer and persons who prepared the plan.
(h)
For commercial work only, the plans and specifications shall
be supported by such supplemental reports, data and additional information
as the Borough Engineer may reasonably require, including, but not
limited to, the following:
(3)
The Borough Engineer may waive the requirements for plans, specifications,
timing schedule or cost estimate if he finds that the information
on the application is sufficient to show that the work will conform
to the requirements of this chapter.
Before issuing a grading permit, the Borough shall collect a
permit fee from the applicant in accordance with the following provisions:
A.
Application fees and deposits. The Borough Council shall establish
from time to time by resolution fees and deposits to be paid by the
applicant/developer at the time of filing the relevant application
under this chapter.
B.
Review fees and expenses. The applicant/developer shall reimburse
the Borough for all fees and expenses incurred by the Borough related
to an application and/or grading permit under this chapter, including,
but not limited to, the reasonable and necessary charges of the Borough
professional consultants, the Borough Engineer and the Borough Solicitor
for review and report on an application and/or grading permit under
this chapter and the inspection of improvements and/or work related
thereto.
C.
Upon filing an application, the applicant must agree, in writing,
to pay costs actually incurred by the Borough, regardless of whether
the work related thereto is ever initiated or completed.
A.
Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the applicant shall provide the Borough with financial security guaranteeing the completion, timely installation and proper construction of any work within any Land Development, Planned Residential Development or Major Subdivision. The amount of such financial security shall be equal to 110% of the cost of completing the work. Such financial security shall be from a source and in a form acceptable to the Borough Solicitor and shall comply with the requirements of the Performance Guaranty (Chapter 163, § 163-46).
B.
After the completion of the work secured by the financial security,
and as a prerequisite for the Borough's release of such financial
security, the applicant shall request a final inspection by the Borough
to certify compliance with the applicable Borough ordinances and the
Borough-approved plans and specifications for the grading permit.
Within 20 calendars days after receiving a certification that the
work secured by the financial security has been completed in compliance
with the applicable Borough ordinances and the Borough-approved plans
and specifications for the grading permit, the Borough shall release
the financial security and return it to the applicant within 14 calendar
days of final approval.
A.
The Borough Engineer may attach conditions to a grading permit as
reasonably necessary to prevent danger to property, including any
sewer, storm drain or watercourse, or to prevent work from being conducted
in a manner hazardous to life or property, or in a manner likely to
create a nuisance. No grading permit shall be issued until grading
plans, erosion and sediment control plans, specifications, a timing
schedule and a cost estimate are approved by the Borough Engineer
and the applicant certifies that all work shall be performed pursuant
to the approved plans, specifications and schedules.
B.
If the application conforms substantially to the requirements of
this chapter, the Borough Engineer shall approve the same and issue
a grading permit to the applicant within 14 calendar days.
C.
After actual work begins, the Borough Engineer may require additional
or revised erosion and sedimentation controls from time to time in
the event that the Borough Engineer determines that the originally
approved controls are inadequate.
D.
Permits issued pursuant to this chapter do not relieve the owner
of responsibility for securing any and all necessary permits and approvals
as required by any other applicable code, ordinance or regulatory
agency.
A.
If an application for a grading permit does not conform to the requirements
of this chapter, the Borough Engineer shall deny the application in
writing, setting forth the basis for the denial. The Borough Engineer
shall forward the written denial to the applicant within 14 calendar
days.
B.
Where, in the opinion of the Borough Engineer, the work as proposed
by the applicant is likely to endanger any person, property or any
street or way, or create hazardous conditions, or damage the ecology
of the area, the application for grading permit shall be denied. In
determining whether the proposed work is likely to have such an effect,
Borough Engineer shall consider factors, including, but not limited
to, possible saturation by rains, earth movements, runoff of surface
waters and subsurface conditions such as the stratification and faulting
of rock and the nature and type of the soil, rock or other minerals.
During grading or other work, the applicant shall be responsible
for:
A.
Performing all work in accordance with the grading permit, approved
plans, specifications and timing schedule and in compliance with all
requirements of this chapter.
B.
Preventing damage to public utilities within the area where work
is performed and along any routes of travel of construction equipment,
and repairing any such damage if necessary.
C.
The prevention and/or repair of damage to adjacent property. No person
shall grade on land so close to the property line as to endanger any
adjoining public street, sidewalk, alley or any public or private
property without supporting and protecting such property from settling,
cracking or other damage which might result.
D.
The prompt removal and legal disposal of all soil, debris, waste
or other material spilled, dumped or otherwise deposited on public
streets, highways, sidewalks or other public thoroughfares during
transit to and from the construction site. The Borough Engineer may
require the construction of a haul road or other approved vehicle
cleaning method to prevent the spread of debris.
E.
The prevention of all sediment from entering into any public sanitary
or storm sewer system or watercourse.
Following written notice issued to the applicant and reasonable
opportunity to cure, the Borough Engineer may revoke or suspend any
permit issued under this chapter for:
A.
Violation of any condition of the grading permit.
B.
Violation of any provision of this chapter or any other applicable
law, ordinance, rule or regulation relating to work authorized under
a grading permit.
C.
Existence of any condition or the doing of any act constituting or
creating a nuisance or hazard or endangering human life or the property
of others.
Unless otherwise provided by Pennsylvania law, every grading
permit shall automatically expire if the authorized work is not commenced
within three months or is not completed within six months for residential
projects, or for commercial projects commenced within three months
or is not completed within one year from the date of such permit issuance.
If the applicant provides satisfactory evidence in writing that unusual
difficulties have prevented the work from being started or completed
within the specified time limits, the Borough Engineer may grant a
reasonable extension of time. An applicant must file an application
for the extension of time before the date of expiration of the grading
permit.
All modifications to the approved plans, specifications, timing
schedule and cost estimate for a grading permit shall be submitted
to the Borough for review and approval by the Borough Engineer. There
shall be no differentiation between major and minor modifications
with respect to this section. Modifications of the approved plans
shall be reviewed and approved in the same manner as the original
plan.
A.
The Borough Engineer shall make the inspections required under this chapter. Following inspection, the Borough Engineer shall approve any portion of the work that has been completed and notify the applicant of any portion of the work that fails to comply with the provisions of this chapter. Where the Borough Engineer determines that the soil or other conditions are not as stated or shown on the application, the Borough Engineer shall stop work on the site immediately until the Borough approves a revised grading plan in accordance with § 99-15 above.
B.
All approved grading plans shall be maintained at the site until
all permitted work has been approved by the Borough Engineer.
C.

activities shall be stockpiled and replaced on the site over all regraded
areas at a minimum depth of four inches.
E.
Fill areas shall be prepared by removing organic material (such as
topsoil, vegetation, rubbish and any other material determined by
the Borough Engineer to prevent proper compaction and stability).
F.
Grading shall be accomplished so that post-development stormwater
runoff flows cause no harm to adjacent properties.
A.
No excavation shall be made with a cut face steeper in slope than
two horizontal to one vertical, except under the following conditions:
(1)
Where the height of a proposed slope will not exceed 12 feet, then
a maximum slope steepness of one and a half horizontal to one vertical
may be allowed where soil conditions permit and doing so will help
to preserve existing vegetation or other significant natural features.
The cut shall be located so that a line having a slope of two horizontal
to one vertical and passing through any portion of the slope face
will be entirely inside the property lines of the site being graded.
Where the height of a proposed slope exceeds 12 feet, the maximum
slope is two horizontal to one vertical and passing through any portion
of the slope face will be entirely inside the property lines of the
site being graded.
(2)
Where a retaining wall is constructed to support the face of the
slope, the plans for such wall shall be designed and sealed by a professional
engineer and reviewed and approved by the Borough Engineer.
(3)
A geotechnical analysis, prepared by a professional engineer with
geotechnical training and experience, that demonstrate the steep slopes,
excavations and embankments are stable may be required at the discretion
of the Borough Engineer for major earth moving operations.
B.
Excavation adjacent to any building foundation walls, footings, or
structures shall not extend beyond the angle of repose or natural
slope of the soil under the nearest point of the same unless the foundation
walls, footings, or structures have been sufficiently underpinned
or otherwise protected against settlement.
C.
The Borough Engineer may require an excavation to be made with a
cut face less or flatter in slope than two horizontal to one vertical
if it finds the material in which the excavation is to be made is
unusually subject to erosion or if other conditions exist which, under
applicable engineering practice, make such flatter cut slope necessary
for stability and safety.
D.
A soil erosion and sedimentation control plan shall be prepared in accordance with the provisions of 25 Pa.Code, Chapter 102, Erosion and Sediment Control, as amended, prior to commencement of any grading or other regulated earth disturbance activity, unless the Beaver County Conservation District determines that a soil erosion and sedimentation control plan is not required.
A.
No fill shall be made which creates any exposed surface steeper in
slope than two horizontal to one vertical, except under the following
condition:
(1)
The Borough Engineer may require that the fill be constructed with
an exposed slope less than or flatter than two horizontal to one vertical
if the Borough Engineer finds that under the particular conditions
such flatter slope is necessary for stability and safety.
B.
Whenever fill is to include materials other than clean soil or earth,
the grading permit shall be subject to the following additional limitations
and requirements:
(1)
The fill shall be completed within a reasonable length of time, said
time limit to be determined by the Borough Engineer and to be specified
on the grading permit.
(2)
Clean soil or earth shall be placed over the top of and cover exposed
surfaces of the fill to a depth sufficient to conceal all materials,
other than clean soil or earth, within the fill. Topsoil must meet
Pennsylvania Department of Transportation Publication 408 Specifications.

with the regulations provided in this chapter, including, but not
limited to, inspections.
B.
Retaining walls must be constructed in accordance with sound engineering
practice and plans submitted to the Borough for review. All plans
submitted shall bear the seal of a professional engineer.
C.
The backfilling of retaining walls and the insertion of below grade
drainage facilities associated with the retaining walls shall strictly
comply with the provisions of this chapter and appropriate Borough
specifications.
The developer or the owner of any property on which work has
been done pursuant to a grading permit, or any other person or agent
in control of such property, shall maintain in good condition and
promptly repair or restore all damaged grade surfaces, walls, drains,
dams and structures, plantings, vegetation, erosion and sedimentation
control measures and other protective devices. Such repair, restoration
and maintenance shall be in accordance with the approved plans, specifications
and grading permit as required by this chapter.
Neither the issuance of a grading permit, nor compliance with
this chapter or any conditions imposed by the Borough Engineer, shall
relieve any person from the responsibility for damage to any person
or property otherwise imposed by law, nor impose any liability upon
the Borough for damages to any person or property.
A.
Any person, firm, or corporation who shall violate any provision
of this chapter, or fails to comply therewith, or with any of the
requirements thereof, upon conviction thereof in an action brought
before a magisterial district judge in the manner provided for the
enforcement of summary offenses under the Pennsylvania Rules of Criminal
Procedure, shall be sentenced to pay a fine of not less than $300
nor more than $1,000 plus costs, including reasonable attorney fees
incurred by the Borough, and, in default of payment of said fine and
costs, to a term of imprisonment to the extent permitted by law for
the punishment of summary offenses. A separate offense shall arise
for each day or portion thereof in which a violation of this chapter
is found to exist and for each section of this chapter found to have
been violated. The Borough may also commence appropriate actions in
equity or other to prevent, restrain, correct, enjoin, or abate violations
