If a permit is issued for the placement of soil as provided
herein, the owner or person in charge shall so conduct the operations
that there shall be no sharp declivities, pits or depressions, and
in such manner that the area shall be properly leveled off, cleared
of debris, and graded to conform with the contour lines and grades
as required and shown on the approved plan.
No soil shall be placed or any operation conducted in hours
other than 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p. m., Monday through Friday.
No soil shall be placed nor shall any operation be conducted
so as to violate any of the regulations contained in this article
after a permit is granted.
Soil fill shall not be deposited or in any way thrown or placed
upon adjoining property or public roads. Any soil or material resulting
from any such operation accumulating on any adjoining property or
public road shall be removed therefrom immediately upon notice to
the permittee of such accumulation.
All operations shall be conducted in strict accordance with
any state law, other ordinances of the Township, and the terms and
conditions of any permit granted for such operations.
The operation shall be so conducted as not to constitute a nuisance,
and in no event shall said operation create any hazardous or unsafe
condition with regard to any person or persons. Natural screening
is to be preserved by the applicant.
A.
Upon completion of any operation delineated on the approved plan,
said area shall be properly leveled off, cleared of debris, and graded
to conform to the contours and grades as approved by the Zoning Officer.
A final map for all major soil fill permits shall be submitted containing
and complying with all requirements as set forth in this chapter.
B.
If the Township Engineer, in the course of review, determines that
Township roads may sustain meaningful "wear and tear" damage due to
the passage of trucks carrying the imported materials, the Township
Public Works Supervisor shall review the application. If meaningful
damage is determined to be likely, the Public Works Supervisor shall
provide a reasonable estimate of excess costs attributable to truck
traffic associated with the importation activity. Such estimates shall
fairly apportion and distinguish between the costs associated with
the importation activity and those associated with normal usage of
the Township's roadways, including occasional passage of heavy
trucks. The applicant shall be solely responsible for costs attributable
to the importation activity and shall establish an escrow fund in
the Township Clerk's office sufficient to refund the Township
for this expense.
C.
No trash, junk or debris may be stored in any area, and no safety
hazards will be permitted, either during or after the completion of
operations.
The material stored shall not exceed a height of 20 feet, and
the maximum storage slope shall be 45º.
The Zoning Officer is hereby designated as the officer whose
duty it shall be to enforce the provisions of this chapter. He/she
shall, from time to time, upon his/her own initiative, and whenever
directed by the Township, inspect the premises for which permits have
been granted to ensure compliance with the terms of the permit and
of this chapter. The Zoning Officer shall have the right to enter
upon any lands for the purpose of examination and inspection of the
operation without advance notice.
In the placement of soil or fill operation, the applicant shall
cause such streets to be kept free from dirt and debris resulting
from such soil or fill operation.
