"a. ... Any necessary permits and approvals including, but not limited to, erosion and sedimentation control plans, and permits under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program pursuant to Section 402 of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. § 1342, shall be obtained prior to the initiation of decommissioning activities.
b. The PSES owner shall then have twelve (12) months in which to dismantle and remove the PSES including all solar related equipment or appurtenances related thereto, including but not limited to buildings, cabling, electrical components, roads, foundations and other associated facilities from the property. If the owner fails to dismantle and/or remove the PSES within the established timeframes, the Township may complete the decommissioning by drawing on the financial security described in subsection c. below. If the financial security funds are insufficient to dismantle and remove the PSES as described above, then the legal record owner of the property and the PSES owner/operator shall both be liable for any shortfall. ... Access roads and landscaping may remain in place if so desired by the property owner and such desire is expressed in writing to the Township.
c. At the time of issuance of the Land Use Permit for the construction of the PSES, the owner shall provide financial security in a form and amount acceptable to the Township to secure the expense of dismantling and removing said PSES and restoration of the land to its original condition, including forestry plantings of the same type/variety and density as the original. ..."
