An applicant for a zoning permit, construction
permit, certificate of occupancy or site plan approval shall provide
documentation that the intended use will comply with the performance
standards enumerated below. In the case of a structure being built
where the future use is not known, a construction permit may be issued
with the condition that no certificate of occupancy will be issued
until such time as this documentation is submitted with respect to
the particular occupant. A new application and a new certificate of
occupancy shall be required in the event of any change of use of any
structure.
[Amended by Ord. No. 11-90]
All electrical or electronic devices shall be
subject to the provisions of Public Law 90-602, 90th Congress, HR
10790, dated October 18, 1968, entitled, "An Act for the Protection
of Public Health and Safety from the Dangers of Electronic Product
Radiation." Radiation products, as defined in DHEW Publication No.
(FDA) 75-8003, shall be limited and controlled so that no measurable
energy can be recorded at any point beyond the property boundaries.
The applicant, upon request, shall produce certified data wherein
measurements made in accordance with the procedures and standards
set forth in the DHEW Publication No. (FDA) 75-8003 adequately demonstrate
compliance with the minimum standards established by the Act. All
other forms of electromagnetic radiation lying between 100 KHz and
10 GHz shall be restricted to the technical limits established in
the Federal Communication Commission's Rules and Regulations. Additionally,
electric or electronic equipment shall be shielded so there is no
interference with any radio or television reception at the lot line,
or beyond the operator's dwelling unit in the case of multifamily
dwellings, as the result of the operation of such equipment.
Exterior lighting and illuminated signs shall
be shielded and directed so that skyglow, glare, direct light or reflected
light will not adversely affect adjoining properties, adjoining dwelling
units, adjoining residential districts or streets.
No use shall produce heat perceptible beyond
its lot lines. Furthermore, no use shall be permitted to discharge
any substance into a natural body of water which would cause the temperature
of that body of water to rise or fall, either temporarily or permanently.
All activities shall be carried on only in structures
which conform to the standards of the National Board of Fire Underwriters,
the Uniform Construction Code[1] or Township Fire Ordinance, whichever is more restrictive.
All operations shall be carried on and all explosive raw materials,
fuels, liquids and finished products shall be stored in accordance
with the standards of the Board of Fire Underwriters.
Any industrial activity which emits dangerous
radioactivity at any point is prohibited.
A.
No smoke shall be emitted from any chimney or other
source as visible grey greater than No. 1 on the Ringelmann Smoke
Chart, as published by the U.S. Bureau of Mines.
B.
Smoke of a shade not darker than No. 1 on the Ringelmann
Smoke Chart may be emitted for not more than four minutes in any 30
minutes.
C.
These provisions, applicable to visible grey smoke,
shall also apply to visible smoke of a different color, but with an
equivalent apparent opacity.
A.
No flammable or explosive liquids, solids or gases
in excess of 300 gallons shall be stored in bulk above ground, provided
that tanks or drums of fuel directly connecting with energy devices,
heating devices or appliances located on the same lot as the tanks
or drums of fuel are excluded from this provision.
B.
All outdoor storage facilities for fuel, raw materials
and products and all fuel, and all raw materials and products stored
outdoors shall be enclosed by a fence adequate to conceal the facilities
from any adjacent properties.
C.
No materials or wastes shall be deposited upon a lot
in such form or manner that they may be transferred off the lot by
natural causes or forces, nor shall any substance be deposited which
can contaminate an underground aquifer or otherwise render such underground
aquifer undesirable as a source of water supply or recreation, or
which will destroy aquatic life.
D.
All materials or wastes which might cause fumes or
dust which constitute a fire hazard or which may be edible or otherwise
attractive to rodents or insects shall be stored indoors and enclosed
in appropriate containers adequate to eliminate such hazards.
E.
No use shall be conducted in such a way as to discharge
any treated or untreated sewage or industrial waste except as shall
be approved by the health officer and sewage authority and the New
Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.
F.
Solid wastes shall be disposed of consistent with
the Warren County Solid Waste Management Plan and the New Jersey Department
of Environmental Protection standards for solid waste disposal.
A.
No emission shall be made which can cause any damage
to health, to animals or vegetation or other forms of property or
which can cause any excessive soiling at any point.
B.
No emission of liquid or solid particles from any
chimney or otherwise shall exceed 0.3 grains per cubic foot of the
covering gas at any point.
C.
For measurement of the amount of particles in gases
resulting from combustion, standard correction shall be applied to
a stack temperature of 500° F. and 50% excess air.
No use shall obstruct the natural ventilation
of adjacent uses.
There shall be no vibration which is discernible
to the human sense of feeling without instruments at any point beyond
the lot line.
A.
Noise emanating from any operation or use shall be
measured from any point on the property line of the lot on which the
operation is located and no noise so measured shall exceed the values
given in the following table in any octave band of frequency. The
sound pressure level shall be measured with a sound level analyzer
that conforms to specifications published by the "American Standard
Sound Level Meters for Measurement of Noise and Other Sounds" Z243-1944,
American Standards Association, Inc., New York, N.Y., and "American
Standards Specification for an Octave-Band Filter Set for the Analysis
of Noise and Other Sounds" Z24.10-1953, American Standard Association,
Inc., New York, N.Y.

For noises which may be objectionable due to intermittence,
heat, frequency or hammering quality or for noise which is not smooth
and continuous, corrections shall be made to the above table by subtracting
five decibels from each of the decibel levels given.
