In approving any site plan, the Planning Board may

A.
Before the issuance of a building permit for any industrial
use permitted in any V-1 Zone, the site plan submitted for the Planning
Board shall include a description of any proposed machinery or process,
its operation and products, as well as a signed affidavit by the applicant
and the owner acknowledging his understanding of those performance
standards set forth and his agreement to conform to the same at all
times.
B.
If there is any reasonable doubt that the intended
use will not conform to any of the performance standards, the Planning
Board shall request a sufficient deposit from the applicant for each
such section in doubt, to be used to defray a reasonable proportion
of the cost of a special report from an expert consultant qualified
to advise on the conformance with the required standards. Said report
shall be made within 30 days of the request for such study. The applicant
shall have the right to approve the selection of any expert consultant.
Agreement must be reached, as to the consultant, by the Planning Board
and the applicant. A copy of the report shall be promptly furnished
to the applicant. If nonconformance is found by the consultant, the
applicant shall correct said nonconformance before further consideration
for approval is made.
C.
Approval by the Planning Board shall be rendered in
the form of a written report authorizing the issuance of a building
permit and further authorizing the issuance of an occupancy permit,
conditioned upon the applicant's completed buildings and installations
in operation conforming to a reasonable application of the performance
standards. Any portion of any requested deposit not used for the special
report and services of a consultant shall be returned to the applicant.
D.
The following regulations must be complied with:
(1)
Fire and explosion hazards. All activities or operations
shall be carried on in such a manner and with such precaution against
fire and explosion hazards as to produce no hazard, as determined

Such activity or building shall provide fire-extinguishing devices
sufficient in view of the nature and extent of the fire risk as determined
by the Chief of the Fire Department, according to the requirements
of the Fire Prevention Code for the Township of Sandyston.[1]

Smoke, fumes, gases, dust and odors. There shall be
no emission of any smoke, fumes, gas, dust, odors or any other atmospheric
pollutant, vibration or noise which will disseminate beyond the boundaries
of the lot occupied by such use.
(3)
Liquid or solid waste. No industrial operations shall
discharge untreated industrial waste of any kind into any reservoir,
pond or lake or stream. All methods of sewage and industrial waste
treatment and disposal shall be approved by the Township and New Jersey
State Health Departments. Effluent from a treatment plant shall at
all times comply with the Health Department's standards applicable
for mingling with the streams of New Jersey. No effluent shall contain
any acids, oils, dust, toxic metals, corrosives or other toxic substance
in solution or suspension which would create odors or discolor, poison
or otherwise pollute the stream in any way.
