Dust and vapors.
(a)
No emission which can cause any detrimental effect to
human beings, animals, vegetation or property or which can cause noticeable
soiling at any point shall be permitted.
(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. 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.
(3)
Smoke.
(a)
No smoke shall be emitted from any chimney or other source
visible gray greater than No. 1 on the Ringelmann smoke chart as published
by the United States Bureau of Mines.
(b)
Smoke of a shade not darker than No. 2 on the Ringelmann
smoke chart may be emitted for no more than four minutes in any 30 minutes.
(c)
These provisions, applicable to visible gray smoke, shall
also apply to visible smoke of a different color but with an equivalent apparent
opacity.
(4)
Odor. No emission of odorous gases or other odorous matter
shall be permitted which is offensive at any lot boundary lines. Any process
which may involve the creation or emission of any odors shall provide a secondary
safety system so that control will be maintained if the primary safeguard
system should fail.
(5)
Glare or heat. Any operation producing intense glare
or heat shall be performed within an enclosed building or behind a solid fence
or earthen berm in such manner as to be completely imperceptible from any
point along the lot lines.
(6)
Vibration. No vibration which is discernible to the human
sense of feeling shall be perceptible without instrument at any point beyond
the lot line. Vibration which is not discernible to human sense but which
is at low or high frequencies capable of causing discomfort or damage to life
or property is prohibited beyond the property line and must be monitored and
controlled within the property line to meet the standards of the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration.
(7)
Toxic or noxious matter. No use shall, for any period
of time, discharge any toxic or noxious matter in such concentration as to
be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, comfort or welfare
or cause injury or damage to property, business, marine life or wildlife.
(8)
Electrical disturbance. No activities shall be permitted
(except domestic household appliance use) which produce electromagnetic interference
in excess of standards prescribed by the Federal Communications Commission.
(9)
Fire and explosion hazards. No industrial use shall be
permitted which will create an explosion or fire hazard to an adjacent use
as determined by the New Jersey Inspection Bureau. Any industrial operation
which requires the use of flammable materials shall enclose such materials
in noncombustible walls and shall provide an adequate buffer area to prevent
damage to adjacent property in case of an accident.
(10)
Outdoor storage.
(a)
No toxic waste, gas or solid shall be stored outside
of the structure in which it will be used unless it is stored on a surface
impervious to the toxic waste and a suitable collection system is provided
for any spillage or leaks. In no case shall the toxic waste containment be
located directly on the earth or paved area.
(b)
Flammable or explosive liquids, solids or gases shall
be stored underground except for tanks or drums of fuel directly connected
with energy or heating devices.
(c)
All outdoor storage facilities for fuel, raw materials
and products shall be enclosed by a fence adequate to conceal the facilities
from any adjacent properties.
(d)
No materials shall be deposited upon a lot in such form
or manner that may be transferred off the lot by natural causes or forces.
(e)
All materials or wastes which might cause fumes or dust
or which constitute a fire hazard or which may be edible or otherwise attractive
to rodents or insects shall be enclosed in containers.
