Any application for a building permit, site plan or subdivision in the Township shall include sufficient information to carry out the intent and purpose of this article, which shall be administered by the Engineering Department of the Township. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article XX, projects which constitute major development, as defined in § 57-165B below, shall be covered by Article XXXVII, Stormwater Control for Major Development.

Editor's Note: Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. II).
The stormwater disposal system for any land area in the Township shall be devised in such a manner so that, to the fullest extent possible:
A. 
The rate and/or velocity of stormwater runoff from said area shall not be increased over that which occurs under existing conditions.
B. 
The drainage of adjacent areas is not adversely affected.
C. 
Soil erosion during or after development is not increased over what naturally occurs.
D. 
Soil absorption and groundwater recharge capacity of the area is not decreased below that which occurs under existing conditions.
E. 
The natural drainage pattern of the area is not significantly altered.
In order to duplicate as nearly as possible natural drainage conditions, regulation and control of stormwater runoff for any land area to be developed shall be through on-site stormwater detention and/or ground absorption systems, and the total of the detained water and absorbed water shall as nearly as possible equal existing conditions.
