The unregulated and uncontrolled relocation, filling, excavation and moving of soil and/or fill has resulted and can result in conditions detrimental to the public safety, health and general welfare, substantially hampering and deterring the efforts of the Borough of Netcong to effectuate the general purpose of municipal planning, and must be controlled.
The unregulated and uncontrolled relocation, filling, excavation and moving of soil and/or fill will result in serious and irreparable damage to the public welfare by reason of consequent soil erosion by water and wind; inadequate and improper surface water drainage; increased flooding and flood damage both within and without the Borough; the decrease in or destruction of the fertility of soil; the decrease of structural integrity of the Borough roadways; the removal of lateral support of abutting streets, land and premises; the creation of dust storms and mosquito breeding areas; the creation of dangerous depressions; the deterioration of property values; the rendering of lands unfit or unsuitable to their most appropriate uses; and the creation of other factors and elements affecting the coordinated, adjusted and harmonious physical development of the Borough, and must be controlled and regulated.
The purpose of this chapter shall be to prevent the unregulated and uncontrolled relocation, filling, excavation and moving of soil and/or fill by property owners, developers and excavators which may result in conditions detrimental to the public safety, health, and general welfare, substantially hampering and deterring the efforts of the Borough to effectuate the general purpose as expressed herein.
Any person or entity who, either directly or through an employee, agent or independent contractor, or any other representative, engages or intends to engage in depositing, storing, excavating, removing, moving on-site, grading, or regrading 20 cubic yards or more of soil and/or fill, as defined in this chapter, from, to, or upon any lot, lots, or parcel of land within the Borough.

Except in circumstances where soil movement is planned to occur exclusively within the confines of the property upon which the soil being moved originates or any property in common ownership and contiguous therewith, a soil moving fee will be charged at the rate of $0.15 per cubic yard of fill or excavation less the soil application fee. If the application for a soil moving permit is voluntarily withdrawn, the soil moving fee shall be refunded less the expenses incurred by the Borough.

In the event that the Planning Board approves the soil moving permit application, the Planning Board shall forthwith give notice to the applicant of the action taken. When a performance guarantee is required, the Planning Board shall also give notice of the amount of the performance guarantee required as hereinafter set forth in this section. In the event that the applicant fails to post the required performance guarantee within 60 days of said notice, then the approval of the Planning Board shall be automatically rescinded, but in no event shall any soil and/or fill moving activities commence until required performance guarantees are posted.
No major soil moving permit shall be issued unless the applicant therefor shall have posted with the Borough a performance guarantee, in the form approved by the Borough Attorney, in either cash or its equivalent, or a surety bond as specified by the Borough Council, in such amount as the Planning Board, upon written recommendation of the Engineer, shall determine, conditioned upon full and faithful performance by the principal, within the time specified in the application, of all the proposed work in accordance with the provisions of this chapter and of the soil moving permit issued pursuant hereto.
The amount of said performance guarantee shall be determined based on the area of disturbance. The amount of the bond shall be established at $2,000 for each 10,000 square yards or portion thereof of disturbed area. Ten percent of the bond must be posted by the applicant in cash. The Planning Board may request additional performance guarantees for improvements shown on the soil moving application or plan, such as, but not limited to the following: retaining walls, planting, drainage, erosion control, damages to property and public improvements in haul route, etc.
In ascertaining the rate upon which to compute the amount of the performance guarantees, the Planning Board shall take into consideration such factors as may bear upon the facility with which the proposed work may be performed, including but not limited to the type and character of soil and/or fill, the extent of the area over which the soil and/or fill moving operations are to be conducted, the extent and depth of the various cuts and fills, the extent to which the area of operations is wooded, the proximity of the proposed operations to streets, buildings, structures, natural or artificial streams or watercourses and general drainage conditions.
Before the holder of any soil moving permit shall proceed before the Planning Board with any application for any amendment or alteration of the terms and conditions of any outstanding soil moving permit, there shall be submitted to the Planning Board, if a performance bond was posted, the written consent of the surety on said bond approving said application for amendment or alteration and consenting to extension of the bond coverage thereto.

Said affidavit shall be executed by a licensed professional engineer or land surveyor of the State of New Jersey.
The soil moving permit shall be in such form as may be prescribed by the Planning Board. A major soil permit shall be signed by the Secretary of the Planning Board or the Chairman of the Planning Board and it shall contain any special conditions set forth in the recommendation. A minor soil permit shall be signed by the Borough Engineer.
All soil moving permits shall specify an effective date within one year of the date of the Planning Board 's resolution of approval of the soil relocation application. The term of said permit shall not exceed one year from the effective date.
All permits shall automatically expire on the termination date, unless application for renewal has been made and approved in writing, extending such permit. Each such extension shall not exceed one year from the termination date. A permit extension shall not be granted if the application is currently in noncompliance with any of the terms of the permit. No more than two extensions of a major soil moving permit may be granted by the Borough Engineer. For subsequent extensions of a major soil permit, applicant shall reapply to the board of original jurisdiction, which may deny the extension and/or amend the permit to require compliance with new requirements of this chapter or of the Borough's Land Development Ordinance to the extent that the development does not have statutory immunity from same.

After issuance of the soil moving permit, the developer or excavator, before digging or excavating below said twelve-inch level, shall apply to the Planning Board and be granted an amendment of the application and topographical map then in effect, which amendment may be granted upon such terms as the Planning Board may deem necessary to assure adherence to the purpose and objectives of this chapter.
