It is hereby declared pursuant to the authority created by the provisions
of the Town Law of the State of New York that to permit or allow or cause
to be permitted or allowed the discharge or escape into the open air of such
quantities of dense smoke, cinders, soot, dust, noxious gases, offensive odors,
trade wastes and other pollutions with inadequate regulations is a menace
to the health, safety, morals, welfare and reasonable comforts of the citizens
of the town; and that the establishment and maintenance of proper standards
for the regulation of the same is essential to the public welfare. Therefore,
the provisions hereinafter prescribed to provide adequate regulations with
respect thereto are enacted and their necessity in the public interest is
hereby declared as a matter of legislative determination.
It is the purpose of this chapter to regulate the emission of thick
or dense smoke, cinders, soot, dust, noxious gases, offensive odors, trade
wastes and other pollutions within the corporate limits of the Town of Eden.
This chapter shall in no manner apply to chimneys of buildings used
exclusively for residential purposes.
Any person, firm or corporation violating any of the provisions of this
chapter shall be subject to a fine of not to exceed $250, imprisonment for
up to 15 days, or both, and each separate day shall constitute a separate
violation with a like penalty.
