2. Following receipt of the application and payment, the proposal will be reviewed and a site inspection will be conducted to identify any requirements or conditions of approval.
3. Proof of liability insurance naming the Township as an additional insured, WSIB coverage, and a traffic protection plan shall be provided to the Township.
4. Upon completion of the work or activity, the affected area must be restored to the satisfaction of the Township. A final inspection will then be conducted.
