Each act of violation, and every day upon which
any violation shall occur, shall constitute a separate offense.
Any activity conducted in violation of this
chapter is declared to be a nuisance per se, and the Township may
commence a civil suit in any court of competent jurisdiction for an
order abating or enjoining the violation.
In the event of a violation involving illegal
alteration of wetlands protected under this chapter, the Township
Zoning Administrator shall have the power to order complete restoration
of the wetland area by the person or agent responsible for the violation.
If such responsible person or agent does not complete such restoration
within a reasonable time following the order, the Township shall have
the authority to restore the affected wetlands to their prior condition
wherever possible, and the person or agent responsible for the original
violation shall be held liable to the Township for the cost of restoration.
Requirements and specifications for wetland restorations ordered by
the Township shall be coordinated with state and/or federal agency
requirements and specifications for wetland restoration, if any.
The Township Zoning Administrator may issue
a stop-work order or withhold issuance of a certificate of occupancy,
permits or inspections until the provisions of this chapter, including
any conditions attached to a use approval, have been fully met.
The penalties provided for in this article shall
not be exclusive and the Township shall be entitled to seek any and
all other remedies available at law or in equity in connection with
the violation of this chapter.
