1. An erosion and sedimentation control plan shall be submitted with all applications wherein excavation, placement of fill, and/or grading activities are proposed. The plan shall include a construction staging narrative indicating the sequence of earthmoving activities, and proposed erosion and sedimentation control procedures. Measures used to control erosion and reduce sedimentation during construction activities shall strictly conform to the standards and specifications of the Bucks Conservation District (BCCD) and to the approved sequence of earthmoving activities. Verification of approval of the E&S plan must be received in writing from the BCCD prior to any site development or construction activity.
2. Existing eroded stream/channel banks, roadside swales and areas of shallow concentrated or sheet flow within a proposed subdivision/land development site must be stabilized by the developer. The subdivision application must include pictorial documentation of existing stream/channel banks for Township review. Use of stone rip-rap is discouraged.
3. All erosion and sedimentation control measures shall be installed in accordance with the approved plan. Where a stormwater management basin is involved, the basin shall be constructed, functional and stabilized prior to any additional site activity. An as-built plan of the facility prepared by a licensed surveyor shall be submitted to the Township for review to verify adequate stage/storage capacity prior to commencement of other site activity. Plan must include a note requiring the same.
4. It shall be the responsibility of each person, corporation or other entity performing grading and/or building activities to install and maintain erosion and sedimentation controls until the site is stabilized. In the event any mud and/or debris is transported from the site onto a public roadway or adjoining property, the mud and/or debris shall be immediately removed as deemed necessary by the Township at the owner’s expense. The roadway shall be swept and/or washed when determined necessary by the Township.
