[Amended 4-8-2014 by Ord.
No. 198-2014]
A.
An improvement
security (bond or letter of credit) for stormwater-related improvements
shall be supplied by the developer in conjunction with the subdivision/land
development approval, or in conjunction with the stormwater management
site plan approval if no subdivision/land development plan is required.
The applicant shall provide an improvement security to Brecknock Township
for the timely installation and proper construction of all stormwater
management facilities as required by the approved stormwater management
site plan and this chapter equal to 110% of the construction cost
of the required controls. The improvement security shall also include
installation inspections and annual inspections, if required.
B.
In the event that any SWM facilities which may be required have not
been installed as provided in the approved SWM site plan, the Brecknock
Township Board of Supervisors is hereby granted the power to enforce
any corporate bond, or other security by appropriate legal and equitable
remedies. If proceeds of such bond or other security are insufficient
to pay the cost of installing or making repairs or corrections to
all the SWM facilities covered by said security, the Brecknock Township
Board of Supervisors may, at its option, install part of such SWM
facilities and may institute appropriate legal or equitable action
to recover the monies necessary to complete the remainder of the SWM
facilities. All of the proceeds, whether resulting from the security
or from any legal or equitable action brought against the developer,
or both, shall be used solely for the installation of the SWM facilities
covered by such security, and not for any other municipal purpose.
C.
For projects with a NPDES permit, at the completion of the project,
and as a prerequisite for the release of the financial security, the
applicant shall provide certificate of completion from an engineer,
landscape architect, surveyor or other qualified person verifying
that all permanent SWM facilities have been constructed according
to the plans and specifications and approved revisions thereto.
