§ 245-6. Application for soil permit modification.

The procedure regarding application for and issuance of a soil permit modification shall be as follows:

A. 

Applications for soil permit modification shall be filed with Borough Engineer and shall be accompanied by the fees prescribed in § 245-9A(3) and C hereof. Applications shall be made in triplicate, on forms prescribed by the Borough and supplied by the Borough Engineer. In addition to any information which the Borough Engineer may require pertinent to the application, the application shall include the following:

(1) 

A copy of the previously issued soil permit as to which modification is being sought;

(2) 

Copies of all previously issued modifications and/or extensions of the soil permit for which modification is being sought;

(3) 

Copies of all site plan, subdivision and/or variance approvals previously issued in connection with the activity to which the subject soil permit applies;

(4) 

A brief description of the proposed permit modifications, including the type and estimated quantity of soil movement to which the modifications would apply, and any new borrow or disposal sites being proposed;

(5) 

An updated copy of the existing topographical data and a proposed grading and drainage plan.

(6) 

An updated copy of the integral soil and/or fill erosion and sedimentation control plan. This plan shall be approved by the Morris County Soil Conservation District where applicable.

(7) 

If necessary, an updated approval from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection for the moving of soil and/or fill in, to or from floodplains.

(8) 

The applicant shall submit a certification from a licensed professional engineer or wetlands expert verifying that there are not wetlands located on the property or within 150 feet of the proposed limits of disturbance. If there is any indication that there are wetland areas within the confines of the lot which is the subject of the soil moving application or within 150 feet of the limits of disturbance, then said wetlands shall be delineated on a map to be supplied by the applicant with the application for the soil moving permit. The applicant shall also be obligated to obtain a letter of interpretation from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection with regard to the wetlands delineation indicated on said map, and said letter of interpretation shall be submitted to the Borough prior to the issuance of any soil moving permit by the Borough.

B. 

Upon receipt of the application, the Borough Engineer may conduct a field investigation and shall issue the permit modification or deny it, giving the reasons for denial. The Borough Engineer will forward a copy of the permit modification to the Borough Clerk, Planning Board, and the applicant. The Borough Engineer shall classify any soil permit modification as a major soil permit application if he finds that the application should be considered a part of a site plan or subdivision application, or that the application may present drainage or erosion problems, or that it may adversely affect abutting property or other property.
