Natural Resource Protection Application
A. Plan information and delineation of natural resources. To ensure compliance with the natural resource protection standards of this article, the following information shall be provided for any application per § 370-223A(7) when earth disturbance is proposed:
(1) A site plan which identifies the limits of each of the natural resources on the site, and the proposed use of the site, including any existing or proposed structures.
(2) All encroachments and disturbances necessary to establish the proposed use on the site, including a grading plan showing existing and proposed contours.
(3) Calculations indicating the area of the site with natural resources and the area of natural resources that would be disturbed or encroached upon. The calculation shall be shown on the plan as indicated in the table (Table 370-1) at § 370-224C.
(4) In those cases where only a limited amount of the site or tract will be subject to disturbance (i.e., 1,000 square feet or less), all natural resources within the area of disturbance, plus areas within 150 feet of the area of disturbance, shall be shown on the plan.
 
B. Continued protection of identified natural resources. To ensure the continued protection of identified natural resources, the following requirements shall apply:
(1) Protected natural resources on proposed individual lots within subdivision and land development applications. Natural resources protection areas on individual lots within proposed subdivisions and land developments shall be clearly identified by metes and bounds on the record plan.
(2) Conservation easements or deed restrictions shall be provided to ensure the continued protection of identified resources, which shall be approved by the Township and recorded by the applicant.
 
C. Changes to approved plans. All applicable plans shall include the following wording: "Any structures, infrastructure, utilities, sewage disposal systems, or other proposed earth disturbance indicated on the approved plan shall only occur at the locations shown on the plan. Changes to such locations shall be subject to review by the Township Engineer for conformance with all applicable Schuylkill Township ordinances."
