The following items shall be included in the SWM site plan:
A. Appropriate sections from the municipality's Subdivision and
Land Development Ordinance, and other applicable local ordinances, shall be followed
in preparing the SWM site plans. In instances where the Borough lacks
subdivision and land development regulations, the content of SWM site
plans shall follow the county's Subdivision and Land Development
Ordinance.
B. The Borough shall not approve any SWM site plan that is deficient in meeting the requirements of this Part
1. At its sole discretion and in accordance with this article, when an SWM site plan is found to be deficient, the Borough may either disapprove the submission and require a resubmission, or, in the case of minor deficiencies, the Borough may accept submission of modifications.
C. Provisions for permanent access or maintenance easements for all physical SWM BMPs, such as ponds and infiltration structures, as necessary to implement the operation and maintenance (O&M) plan discussed in Subsection
F(9) below.
D. The following signature block for the Borough:
"On behalf of the Borough, (municipal official or designee),
on this date (date of signature), has reviewed and hereby certifies
to the best of my knowledge that the SWM site plan meets all design
standards and criteria of the Municipal Ordinance No. (number assigned
to ordinance)."
E. For regulated activities involving one or more acres, the following
signature block signed and sealed by the qualified licensed professional
responsible for the preparation of the SWM site plan:
"I (name), on this date (date of signature), hereby certify
to the best of my knowledge that the SWM site plan meets all design
standards and criteria of the Municipal Ordinance No. (number assigned
to ordinance)." [Note: Include signature, name, discipline of professional
license, and license stamp or seal here.]
F. The SWM site plan shall provide the following information:
(1) The overall stormwater management concept for the project.
(2) A determination of site conditions in accordance with the BMP Manual. A detailed site evaluation shall be completed for projects
proposed in areas of carbonate geology or karst topography, and other
environmentally sensitive areas, such as brownfields.
(3) Stormwater runoff design computations and documentation as specified in this Part
1, or as otherwise necessary to demonstrate that the maximum practicable measures have been taken to meet the requirements of this Part
1, including the recommendations and general requirements in §
140-13.
(4) Expected project time schedule.
(5) A soil erosion and sediment control plan, where applicable, as prepared
for and submitted to the approval authority.
(6) The effect of the project (in terms of runoff volumes, water quality,
and peak flows) on surrounding properties and aquatic features and
on any existing stormwater conveyance system that may be affected
by the project.
(7) Plan and profile drawings of all SWM BMPs, including drainage structures,
pipes, open channels, and swales.
(8) The SWM site plan shall show the locations of existing and proposed
on-lot wastewater facilities and water supply wells.
(9) The SWM site plan shall include an O&M plan for all existing and proposed physical stormwater management facilities. This plan shall address long-term ownership and responsibilities for O&M as well as schedules and costs for O&M activities and shall include the inspection frequencies in §
140-31.2.
(10)
A justification must be included in the SWM site plan if BMPs
other than green infrastructure methods and LID practices are proposed
to achieve the volume, rate and water quality controls under this
Part 1.
A modification to a submitted SWM site plan that involves a
change in SWM BMPs or techniques, or that involves the relocation
or redesign of SWM BMPs, or that is necessary because soil or other
conditions are not as stated on the SWM site plan as determined by
the Borough shall require a resubmission of the modified SWM site
plan in accordance with this article.
A disapproved SWM site plan may be resubmitted, with the revisions
addressing the Borough's concerns, to the Borough in accordance
with this article. The applicable review fee must accompany a resubmission
of a disapproved SWM site plan.
The Borough's approval of an SWM site plan 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 Borough 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 Borough signs the approval for an SWM site plan. If an approved SWM site plan is not completed according to §
140-24 within the term of validity, then the Borough may consider the SWM site plan disapproved and may revoke any and all permits. SWM site plans that are considered disapproved by the Borough shall be resubmitted in accordance with §
140-22 of this Part
1.
