(g) A plan of the site showing the exact size and location of the proposed construction as well as any existing buildings or structures.
(B) If any proposed construction or development is located within, or partially within, any identified floodplain area, applicants for building permits and special permits shall also provide the following specific information:
(1) A plan of the entire site, drawn at a scale of one inch being equal to 100 feet or less, showing the following:
(a) North arrow, scale and date;
(b) A location map showing the vicinity in which the proposed activity or development is to be located within the municipality;
(c) Topography based upon the National Geodetic Vertical Datum showing existing and proposed contours at intervals of two feet;
(d) All property and lot lines including dimensions, and the size of the site expressed in acres or square feet;
(e) The location of all existing streets, drives and other accessways with information concerning widths, pavement types, and construction, and elevations;
(f) The location of any existing bodies of water or watercourse buildings, structures and other public or private facilities, and any other natural or human-made features affected, or affecting by, the proposed activity or development;
(g) The location of the identified floodplain area boundary line, floodway line if available, information and spot elevations and information concerning the flow of water including direction and velocities; and
(h) A general plan of the entire site accurately showing the location of all existing and proposed buildings, structures and any other improvements, including the location of any existing or proposed subdivision and land development in order to assure that:
1. All such proposals are consistent with the need to minimize flood damage;
2. All utilities and facilities, such as sewer, gas, electrical and water systems are located and constructed to minimize or eliminate flood damage; and
3. Adequate drainage is provided so as to reduce exposure to flood hazards.
(2) Plans of all proposed buildings, structures and other improvements, drawn at suitable scale showing the following:
(a) Detailed architectural or engineering or drawings including building size, floor plans, sections and exterior building elevations, as appropriate;
(b) The proposed lowest floor elevation (including basement) of any proposed building based upon National Geodetic Vertical Datum;
(c) Complete information concerning flood depths, pressures, velocities, impact and uplift forces and other factors associated with a 100-year flood;
(d) Detailed information concerning any proposed flood-proofing measures;
(e) Cross-section drawings for all proposed streets, drives and other accessways and parking areas, showing all right-of-way and pavement widths;
(f) Profile drawings for all proposed streets, drives and vehicular accessways including existing and proposed grades;
(g) Plans and profiles of all proposed sanitary and storm sewer systems, water supply systems, and other utilities and facilities; and
(h) Soil types.
(3) The following data and documentation:
(a) 1. A document, certified by a registered professional engineer or architect which states that the proposed construction has been adequately designed to withstand the 100-year flood elevations, pressures, velocities, impact and uplift forces and other hydrostatic, hydrodynamic and buoyancy factors associated with the 100-year flood; and
2. Such statement shall include a description of the type and extent of flood-proofing measures which have been incorporated into the design of the structure and/or the development.
(b) Detailed information needed to determine compliance with §§ 151.063(G) and 151.064, including:
1. The amount, location and purposes of any materials or substances referred to in §§ 151.063(G) and 151.064 which are intended to be used, produced, stored or otherwise maintained on site;
2. For any proposed structure regulated under § 151.063, a description of the safeguards incorporated into the design of the structure to prevent leaks or spills of the above mentioned materials or substances during a 100-year flood;
3. The appropriate component of the Department of Environmental Protection’s Planning Module for Land Development;
4. Where any excavation or grading is proposed, a plan meeting the requirements of the Department of Environmental Protection, to implement and maintain erosion and sedimentation control; and
5. Where a nonresidential structure is intended to be made water-tight below the base flood level:
a. A registered professional engineer or architect shall develop and/or review structural design, specifications and plans for the construction, and shall certify that the design and methods of construction are in accordance with the accepted standards of provisions of NFIP §§ 60.3(c)(3)(ii) or 60.3(c)(8)(ii); and
b. A record of such certifications which includes the specific elevation (in relation to the mean sea level) to which such structures are flood-proofed shall be maintained by the township.
