A. 
The Council of the Township of Hamilton finds and determines that the unregulated and uncontrolled grading of land, relocation, filling, excavation and removal of soil on a large scale for the sale of or use other than on the premises has resulted or may result in conditions detrimental to the public safety, health and general welfare, substantially hampering and deterring the efforts of the Township of Hamilton to effectuate the general purpose of municipal planning. The Land Development Ordinance, Chapter 550 of the Code of the Township of Hamilton, specifically prohibits mining within the Township of Hamilton.
B. 
The Council of the Township of Hamilton determines that the mining of existing sand banks, sand pits, clay banks, clay pits, gravel pits or other mineral deposits may now or in the future constitute a hazard to public health, safety and welfare, and pollution of the environment and that it is, therefore, vitally important that the Township protect the interests of its citizens from dust, noise, pollution, the danger of deep pits and to conserve needed topsoil in the Township.
As used in this chapter, the following words, terms and phrases shall have the following meanings:
