A significant water intake or significant water discharge/outfall pipe may be permitted by the Planning Board under the following conditions:
(1)
The installation and physical location of the pipe or pipes does not have a significant adverse impact, if any, on a shoreland regulated area, and the amount of area disturbed by the installation of the pipe is minimized to the greatest extent practical.
(2)
The applicant restores the area disturbed by the installation of a significant water intake or significant water discharge/outfall pipe so as to prevent both short-term and long-term soil erosion and sedimentation and the area is revegetated to present a natural appearance that is consistent with the surrounding area.
(3)
The location of any above ground structures associated with the intake or discharge/outfall pipes complies with the minimum structure setback requirement for the respective Shoreland District, subject to consideration of structure setback requirements that apply to a structure that is a water-dependent activity.
(4)
A person who proposes to install a significant water intake or significant water discharge/outfall pipe shall provide evidence to the City that they can or have obtained any and all state and federal permits associated with the location and operation of the proposed water intake or discharge, including ongoing monitoring, that may be required.
The Planning Board is responsible for the review and issuance of the required City permit. The permit application does not require review by any other City board, committee, or similar body.
