In cases where stormwater management improvements are proposed and the design review would not be covered under a subdivision or land development plan application and the accompanying drainage plan, a stormwater management site plan as described in this article shall be provided. The following items shall be included in the stormwater management site plan:
A. 
Appropriate sections from the Township's Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance,[1] and other applicable local ordinances, shall be followed in preparing the stormwater management site plans.
[1]
Editor's Note: See Ch. 230, Subdivision and Land Development.
B. 
The Township shall not approve any stormwater management site plan that is deficient in meeting the requirements of this chapter. At its sole discretion and in accordance with this article, when a stormwater management site plan is found to be deficient, the Township may either disapprove the submission and require a resubmission, or in the case of minor deficiencies, the Township may accept submission of modifications.
C. 
Provisions for permanent access or maintenance easements for all physical stormwater management BMPs, such as ponds and infiltration structures, as necessary to implement the operations and maintenance plan discussed in Subsection D(9) below.
D. 
The stormwater management 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.[2] 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;
[2]
Editor's Note: See § 220-77.1C.
(3) 
Stormwater runoff design computations and documentation as specified in this chapter, or as otherwise necessary to demonstrate that the maximum practicable measures have been taken to meet the requirements of this chapter, including the recommendations and general requirements in § 220-14;
(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 stormwater management BMPs, including drainage structures, pipes, open channels, and swales;
(8) 
The stormwater management site plan shall show the locations of existing and proposed on-lot wastewater facilities and water supply wells; and
(9) 
The stormwater management site plan shall include an operations and maintenance plan for all existing and proposed physical stormwater management facilities. This plan shall address long-term ownership and responsibilities for operations and maintenance as well as schedules and costs for operations and maintenance activities.
A. 
The stormwater management site plan shall be submitted by the developer to the Township as part of the building and/or zoning permit application.
(1) 
One copy to the Township Planning Commission; and
(2) 
Two copies to the Township Engineer (when applicable).
B. 
Earthmoving for all regulated activities under § 220-5D shall be conducted in accordance with the current federal and state regulations relative to the NPDES and DEP Chapter 102 regulations.
A. 
Stormwater management site plans, including the BMP operations and maintenance plans shall be reviewed by the Township Engineer for consistency with the provisions of this chapter and any permits issued by DEP. The Township Engineer shall also review the stormwater management site plan against any additional storm drainage provisions contained in Chapter 230, Subdivision and Land Development, and Chapter 275, Zoning, as applicable.
B. 
The Township shall notify the applicant in writing within 45 days whether the stormwater management site plan, including the BMP operations and maintenance plan, is approved or disapproved. If the stormwater management site plan involves a subdivision and land development plan, the notification shall occur within the time period allowed by the Township's Planning Code (90 days). If a longer notification period is provided by other statute, regulation, or ordinance, the applicant will be so notified by the Township.
C. 
If the Township disapproves the stormwater management site plan, the Township will state the reasons for the disapproval in writing. The Township also may approve the stormwater management site plan with conditions and, if so, shall provide the acceptable conditions for approval in writing.
D. 
The Township may require an as-built survey of all stormwater BMPs and an explanation of any discrepancies with the drainage plan stormwater management site plan.
A modification to a submitted stormwater management site plan that involves a change in stormwater management BMPs or techniques, or that involves the relocation or redesign of stormwater management BMPs, or that is necessary because soil or other conditions are not as stated on the stormwater management site plan as determined by the Township Engineer shall require a resubmission of the modified stormwater management site plan in accordance with this chapter.
A disapproved stormwater management site plan may be resubmitted, with the revisions addressing the Township's concerns, to the Township in accordance with this chapter. The applicable review fee must accompany a resubmission of a disapproved stormwater management site plan.
The Township's approval of a stormwater management site plan authorizes the regulated activities contained in the stormwater management 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 stormwater management site plan. Terms of validity shall commence on the date the Township signs the approval for a stormwater management site plan. If an approved stormwater management site plan is not completed according to § 220-52 within the term of validity, then the Township may consider the stormwater management site plan disapproved and may revoke any and all permits. Stormwater management site plans that are considered disapproved by the Township shall be resubmitted in accordance with § 220-51 of this chapter.
A. 
The developer shall be responsible for providing as-built plans of all stormwater management BMPs included in the approved stormwater management site plan. The as-built plans and an explanation of any discrepancies with the construction plans shall be submitted to the municipality.
B. 
The as-built submission shall include a certification of completion signed by a qualified professional verifying that all permanent stormwater management BMPs have been constructed according to the approved plans and specifications. The latitude and longitude coordinates for all permanent stormwater management BMPs must also be submitted, at the central location of the BMPs. If any licensed qualified professionals contributed to the construction plans, then a licensed qualified professional must sign the completion certificate.
C. 
After receipt of the completion certification by the Township, the Township may conduct a final inspection.
