   1.   SWM site plans Independent of Subdivision and Land Development Plans. the Township’s approval of a SWM site plan, when such plan is submitted independent of a subdivision and/or land development 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 Township may specify a term of validity shorter than five years in the approval for any specific SWM site plan, particularly if the nature of the proposed SWM facilities require more frequent maintenance and/or short-term replacement of certain components. Terms of validity shall commence on the date the Township signs the approval for a SWM site plan. If an approved SWM site plan is not completed according to § 19-407 within the term of validity, then the Township may consider the SWM site plan disapproved and may revoke any and all permits. SWM site plans that are considered disapproved by the Township may be resubmitted in accordance with § 19-405.
   2.   SWM site plans Included in a Subdivision and/or Land Development Plan. the Township’s approval of a SWM site plan, which is a part of a subdivision and/or land development plan, authorizes that plan and the regulated activities therein so that no subsequent change or amendment in this Chapter or other governing ordinances or plans shall be applied to affect adversely the right of the applicant to commence and to complete any aspect of the approved development in accordance with the terms of such approval within five years from such approval, as specified in §508(4)(ii)-(vii) of the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code, 53 P.S. §10508(4)(ii)-(vii).
