The design engineer shall prepare a maintenance plan for the stormwater management measures incorporated into the design of a major development.

The maintenance plan shall contain specific preventative maintenance tasks and schedules; cost estimates, including estimated cost of sediment, debris, or trash removal; and the name, address, and telephone number of the person or persons responsible for preventative and corrective maintenance (including replacement). The plan shall contain information on BMP location, design, ownership, maintenance tasks and frequencies, and other details as specified in Chapter 8 of the NJ BMP Manual, as well as the tasks specific to the type of BMP, as described in the applicable chapter containing design specifics.

If the maintenance plan identifies a person other than the property owner (for example, a developer, a public agency or homeowners' association) as having the responsibility for maintenance, the plan shall include documentation of such person's or entity's agreement to assume this responsibility, or of the owner's obligation to dedicate a stormwater management facility to such person under an applicable ordinance or regulation.

Responsibility for maintenance shall not be assigned or transferred to the owner or tenant of an individual property in a residential development or project, unless such owner or tenant owns or leases the entire residential development or project. The individual property owner may be assigned incidental tasks, such as weeding of a green infrastructure BMP, provided the individual agrees to assume these tasks; however, the individual cannot be legally responsible for all of the maintenance required.

If the party responsible for maintenance identified under subsection 30-14.11b3 above is not a public agency, the maintenance plan and any future revisions based on subsection 30-11b7 below shall be recorded upon the deed of record for each property on which the maintenance described in the maintenance plan must be undertaken.

Preventative and corrective maintenance shall be performed to maintain the functional parameters (storage volume, infiltration rates, inflow/outflow capacity, etc.) of the stormwater management measure, including, but not limited to, repairs or replacement to the structure; removal of sediment, debris, or trash; restoration of eroded areas; snow and ice removal; fence repair or replacement; restoration of vegetation; and repair or replacement of non-vegetated linings.

The party responsible for maintenance identified under subsection 30-14.11b3 above shall perform all of the following requirements:

The requirements of subsection 30-14.11b3 and b4 do not apply to stormwater management facilities that are dedicated to and accepted by the municipality or another governmental agency, subject to all applicable municipal stormwater general permit conditions, as issued by the Department.

In the event that the stormwater management facility becomes a danger to public safety or public health, or if it is in need of maintenance or repair, the municipality shall so notify the responsible person in writing. Upon receipt of that notice, the responsible person shall have 14 days to effect maintenance and repair of the facility in a manner that is approved by the municipal engineer or his designee. The municipality, in its discretion, may extend the time allowed for effecting maintenance and repair for good cause. If the responsible person fails or refuses to perform such maintenance and repair, the municipality or County may immediately proceed to do so and shall bill the cost thereof to the responsible person. Nonpayment of such bill may result in a lien on the property.

Responsibility for operation and maintenance of stormwater management facilities, including periodic removal and disposal of accumulated particulate material and debris, shall remain with owner or owners' property within permanent arrangements that it shall pass to any successive owner, unless assumed by a government agency. If portions, of the land are to be sold, legally binding arrangements shall be made to pass the basic responsibility to successors in title. These arrangements shall be designate for each project the property owner, governmental agency or other legally established entity to be permanently responsible for maintenance, hereinafter in this section referred to as the responsible person.

The owner of a private stormwater facility is required to inspect the facility after each major storm event and perform any maintenance and/or repairs that may be required in addition to routine mowing and removal and disposal of accumulated debris from the facility. "Major storm event" shall mean the occurrence of rainfall within the Borough of more than 1.50 inches of precipitation within any one-hour period or the occurrence of a two-year storm within the Borough as defined by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, whichever is lesser. The Borough shall inspect the facility once per year and maintain a log to demonstrate compliance with maintenance requirements and any actions taken by the Borough to enforce compliance. If inspection reveals that maintenance has not been maintained by the owner of the stormwater facility, then the Borough Official will issue an order to correct the deficiency within 30 days. If the deficiency is not corrected within 30 days, the Borough will correct the deficiency and recover the cost under the Property Maintenance Section of the Borough Code. The Borough, in its discretion, may extend the time allowed for effecting maintenance and repair for good cause as approved by the Borough Engineer or his/her designee.

The applicant shall enter into any agreement with the Borough (or County) to ensure the continued operation and maintenance of the facility. This agreement shall be in a form satisfactory to the Borough Attorney, and may include, but may not necessarily be limited to, personal guarantees, deed restrictions, covenants, and bonds, in case where property subdivided and sold separately, a homeowners' association or similar permanent entity governmental agency to assume responsibility.

Dedication of Facilities. Where required, the stormwater management facilities shall be dedicated to the Borough of Fair Haven as a drainage easement or right-of-way. Detention or retention facility dedication shall be 15 feet from the top of bank of facilities constructed in fill, inlet and outlet piping and maintenance access shall be contained within thirty-foot-side, minimum, drainage utility easements. No relocation, construction or reconstruction shall take place within the area of the easement, nor shall any structures be located within such area, nor shall any action be taken which may alter or impair the effectiveness of present or future drainage facilities without prior approval from the Borough Council.

Surface Water Runoff Control Plan Standards for Residential Lots.

An outbound survey, inclusive of all easements, of the property on which the structure is proposed, as prepared by a New Jersey licensed land surveyor, indicating the name and the development and/or applicant, Tax Map, lot, block and street address. The scale of the survey shall be no smaller than one inch equals 30 feet.

Footprint of the proposed dwelling unit.

The basement elevation, garage elevation, and finished floor elevation of the proposed building upon USGS MSL data. Spot grades should be provided at all corners of the building footprint and garage apron.

Data showing that the lowest finished floor of the structure, including the basement, is at least one foot above the delineated 100-year flood elevation of any watercourse on or near the property, or one foot above the seasonal high water table, as determined by test pit, soil boring, or investigative work done in conjunction with a disconnected on-site individual sewage disposal system.

Provision of sufficient, existing and proposed contour lines and spot elevations to show the direction of surface water runoff, yard slopes greater than 2% or less than one vertical to three horizontal, elimination of any standing water conditions and grading which will not adversely impact adjoining properties.

The location of proposed potable water and sanitary sewer services or potable water supply water well, and a disconnected on-site individual sewage disposal system. The applicant shall show the location of any proposed sump pump pit and the point of discharge on the property.

Driveway location.
