See Article IV, Section 402.01, of the Bradford County Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance.
The maintenance responsibilities for permanent stormwater runoff control facilities/controls shall be determined based upon the type of ownership of the property.
A. 
Single entity ownership. In all cases where the permanent stormwater runoff control facilities are designed to manage runoff from property in a single-entity ownership as defined below, the maintenance responsibility for the stormwater control facilities shall be with the single-entity owner. In this case, a legally binding agreement between the entity and the municipality shall be made providing for maintenance of all permanent control facilities and allowing inspection by the municipality of all such facilities at any reasonable time. A single entity shall be defined as an individual, association, public or private corporation, partnership firm, trust, estate or any other legal entity empowered to own real estate.
B. 
Multiple ownership. In cases where the property is in multiple ownership (i.e., many individual owners of various portions of the property) the developer(s) shall enter into an agreement with the municipality to determine the maintenance of the permanent stormwater facilities/controls.
C. 
When stormwater management control measures are located on an individual lot and when they are the responsibility of that landowner to maintain, a description of the facility or system and the terms of the required maintenance shall be incorporated as part of the deed to the property.
D. 
If the municipality determines at any time that any permanent stormwater management control facility or the interim and permanent erosion and sediment control facilities have been eliminated, altered or improperly maintained, the owner of the property shall be advised of corrective measures required and given a reasonable period of time to take necessary action. If such action is not taken by the property owner, the municipality may cause the work to be done and lien all costs against the property. This provision is in addition to any remedies under § 140-37 of this chapter.
