§ 153. Protection of Drainage Facilities, Utility Facilities and other Private or Public Property.
   1.   All utility facilities shall be located sufficiently ahead of trench excavation work to avoid damage to those facilities and to permit their relocation, if necessary. Permittee shall conform with the provisions of Act 287, as amended.
   2.   Pipe drains, pipe culverts, or other public and private facilities encountered shall be protected by the permittee.
   3.   Monuments of concrete, iron or other lasting material set for the purpose of locating or preserving the lines of any street or property, subdivision, or a precise survey reference point or a permanent survey bench mark within the Township shall not be removed or disturbed or caused to be removed or disturbed unless permission to do so is first obtained in writing from the Inspector. Permission shall be granted only upon condition that the permittee shall pay all expenses incidental to the proper replacement of the monument.
   4.   When work performed by the permittee interferes with the established drainage system of any street, provision shall be made by the permittee to provide proper drainage to the satisfaction of the Inspector.
   5.   When a tile drain or other structure or facility is encountered, it shall be replaced or restored by the permittee in accordance with the prevailing standards of the Township.
   6.   The permission herein granted does not relieve the permittee from obtaining any consent otherwise required from the owner or owners of the abutting property and does not confer upon the permittee the right to cut, remove, or destroy trees or shrubbery within the legal limits of the highway except under such conditions, restrictions, and regulations as the Township may prescribe. If any trees are removed within the limits of the highway by the consent of the property owner, the stumps must be cut to the ground level, or removed entirely, if required by the owner.
