A. Amendments of the erosion and sedimentation control plan or grading plan shall be submitted to the Township and shall be processed and approved or disapproved in the same manner as the original plans. Field modifications of a minor nature may be authorized by the Township Engineer and/or Code Official by written authorization to the permittee.
B. If at any stage of the earthmoving and/or stripping activities, the Township Engineer determines by inspection that the nature of the site is such that further work authorized by an existing grading permit is likely to imperil any property, public way, watercourse or drainage structure, the Township Engineer may require, as a condition of allowing the work to continue, reasonable special precautions be taken to avoid the likelihood of such peril. Special precautions may include, but shall not be limited to, a more level exposed slope; construction of additional drainage facilities; berms; terracing; compaction; cribbing; installation of plant materials for erosion control; and/or recommendations of a registered soils engineer and/or engineering geologist regarding requirements for further work.
C. Where it appears that storm damage may result from incomplete grading of any site, work may be stopped and the permittee required to install temporary structures or take such other measures as may be necessary to protect adjoining property or public safety. On a site of at least one acre or where unusual site conditions prevail, and on all stream crossing projects, the Township Engineer may specify the time of start of grading and time of completion or may require that the operations be conducted in specific stages to ensure completion of protective measures prior to the advent of seasonal rains.
