[Ord. 540, 3/21/2012, § 8-301]
Whenever the Floodplain Administrator or other authorized municipal
representative determines that there are reasonable grounds to believe

or any regulations adopted pursuant thereto, the Floodplain Administrator
shall give notice of such alleged violation as hereinafter provided.
Such notice shall:
B. Include a statement of reasons for the issuance.
C. Allow a reasonable time not to exceed a period of 30 days for the
performance of any act it requires.
D. Be served upon the property owner or his agent as the case may require;
provided, however, that such notice or order shall be deemed to have
been properly served upon such owner or agent when a copy thereof
has been served with such notice by any method authorized or required
by the laws of this state.
E. Contain an outline of remedial action which, if taken, will effect
compliance with provisions of this chapter.
[Ord. 540, 3/21/2012, § 8-302; as amended at time
of adoption of Code (see Ch. AO)]
Any person, firm, or corporation who fails to comply with any
or all of the requirements or provisions of this chapter or who fails
or refuses to comply with any notice, order or direction of the Floodplain
Administrator or any other authorized employee of the municipality
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall pay a fine
to Lower Swatara Township, of not less than $300 nor more than $1,000
plus attorneys fees and costs of prosecution, and in default of the
payment of the fine and costs of prosecution, shall be imprisoned
for a period not exceeding 30 days. In addition to the above penalties,
all other actions are hereby reserved including an action in equity
for the proper enforcement of this chapter. The imposition of a fine
or penalty for any violation of, or noncompliance with, this chapter
shall not excuse the violation or noncompliance or permit it to continue
and all such persons shall be required to correct or remedy such violations
and noncompliance within a reasonable time. Any development initiated
or any structure or building constructed, reconstructed, enlarged,
altered, or relocated, in noncompliance with this chapter may be declared
by the Board of Commissioners to be a public nuisance and abatable
as such.
