The Township Engineer is hereby appointed to administer and enforce this chapter and is referred to herein as the Floodplain Administrator. The Floodplain Administrator may:
A permit shall be required before any construction or development is undertaken within any area of the Township of Upper Providence.
Prior to the issuance of any permit, the Floodplain Administrator shall review the application for the permit to determine if all other necessary government permits required by state and federal laws have been obtained, such as those required by the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (Act 1966-537, as amended);[1] the Pennsylvania Dam Safety and Encroachments Act (Act 1978-325, as amended);[2] the Pennsylvania Clean Streams Act (Act 1937-394, as amended);[3] and the United States Clean Water Act, Section 404, 33, U.S.C. 1344. No permit shall be issued until this determination has been made.
Application for such a permit shall be made, in writing, to the Floodplain Administrator on forms supplied by the Township of Upper Providence. Such application shall contain the following:
Documentation, certified by a registered professional engineer or architect, to show that the cumulative effect of any proposed development within any identified floodplain area (See § 1270.17.) when combined with all other existing and anticipated development, will not cause any increase in the base flood elevation. AE Areas adjacent to floodways are exempt.
Detailed information needed to determine compliance with § 1270.24(f), Storage, and § 1270.25, Development which may endanger human life, including:
The amount, location and purpose of any materials or substances referred to in §§ 1270.24(f) and 1270.25 which are intended to be used, produced, stored or otherwise maintained on site.
A description of the safeguards incorporated into the design of the proposed structure to prevent leaks or spills of the dangerous materials or substances listed in § 1270.25 during a base flood.
Penalties. Any person 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 of direction of the Floodplain Administrator or any other authorized employee of the municipality shall be guilty of a summary offense and upon conviction shall pay a fine to Township of Upper Providence, of not less than $25 nor more than $600 plus costs of prosecution. 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. 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 Council to be a public nuisance and abatable as such.
