Wireless Telecommunications Facility Insurance. The owner of a WTF shall obtain liability, property damage, and personal injury insurance in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 in the aggregate covering all portions of the WTF. The Township shall be listed as an additional insured on these policies and proof of this insurance coverage shall be provided to the Township. The owner(s) shall arrange with the insurance carrier(s) for original certificates of insurance for all renewals or cancellations of said insurance coverage to be delivered to the Township. At a minimum the following insurance requirements shall be satisfied:
 
A. The required insurance must be obtained and maintained for the entire period the WTF is in existence from pre-construction through final decommissioning and rehabilitation. If the owner and operator, and their respective contractors or subcontractors do not have the required insurance, the Township will order such entities to cease operation of the facility until such insurance is obtained.

B. Copies of these insurance policies shall be filed with the Township at the time of application. For entities that are entering the market, the policies shall be filed prior to the commencement of construction and once a year thereafter, and as provided below in the event of a lapse of coverage. In addition to submitting these policies, the owner shall provide the name, address and phone number of the insurance carrier and identify an agent in case of inquiries.

C. The policies of insurance shall contain a provision that coverages afforded under such policies shall not be canceled until at least 30 days' prior written notice had been given to the Township. All insurance policies shall be issued by companies authorized to do business under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
