B.
General requirements for quarry extraction operations, asphalt plants
and ready mix concrete plants. The following regulations shall apply:
Use G-11 Quarry Extraction Operations.
(1)
Application requirement for zoning permits.
(a)
All applications for zoning permits or annual renewal permits
for Use G-11, Quarry Extraction Operations, shall be made in writing
by the owner, tenant, vendee under contract of sale on a form supplied
by the municipality which shall be filed with the Zoning Officer.
The applications shall be accompanied by plans and other materials
to show compliance with the following provisions and regulations:
[1]
Except where a railroad is a district boundary line, there shall
be a berm of minimum height of 15 feet and maximum height of 50 feet
surrounding the entire property site. Berms will be required along
existing quarry faces to the extent which the Board of Supervisors
determines it feasible. The slope of the sides of the berm shall not
exceed a one to one ratio. Berms shall be planted and dusted and erosion
control measures shall be taken as may be approved by the U. S. Soil
Conservation Service. Berms shall, begin at a point no closer to a
street than the ultimate right-of-way line. No berms shall be constructed
closer than 25 feet to a district in which extraction operations are
not permitted. Planting of the berms and yard areas shall be sufficient
to screen the quarry extraction operations. Both planting and berm
construction shall be according to a plan approved by the Board of
Supervisors which shall include a reasonable timetable for completion.
Such planting shall consist of evergreens of such species and size
as will produce, within three years, a complete all season visual
screen of at least eight feet in height.
[2]
A chain link type fence at least eight feet in height surmounted
by three strands of barbed wire shall be required within the setback
area at a point no closer than the ultimate right-of-way line to be
maintained in a constant state of good repair. Appropriate warning
signs shall be mounted or posted along the fence at intervals of not
more than 100 feet.
[3]
An adequate internal circulation pattern of driveways shall
be maintained between the excavation sites and processing areas. Use
of public streets shall not be permitted for hauling between extractive
and processing areas except where required in connection with such
pattern or for weighing or for access of vehicular traffic originating
from or destined to points beyond the limits of such excavation sites
and processing areas. Access shall be regulated in accordance with
the municipal subdivision and land development ordinance.
[4]
No slope shall be maintained exceeding the normal limiting angle
of slippage of the material in which the excavation or extraction
is being made. No undercutting shall be permitted within the setback
area.
[5]
All operations shall be conducted with sufficient lateral support
to be safe with respect to hazard to persons; physical damage to adjacent
lands or improvements; or damage to any street, sidewalk, parking
area or utility by reason of slide, sinking or collapse.
[6]
Stockpiles shall not exceed 75 feet in height from the original
ground surface and shall not be located within the setback provided
for in this chapter. All reasonable precautions shall be taken to
prevent any materials or waste deposited upon any stockpile from being
washed, blown or otherwise transferred off the site by normal causes
or forces.
[7]
All drainage from the site of extraction operations shall be
controlled by dikes, barriers or drainage structures sufficient to
prevent any silt, debris or other loose materials from filling any
existing drainage course or encroaching on streets or adjacent property
or entering into any stream, pond, well, subterranean stream or other
body of water.
[8]
No ground vibration caused by blasting or machinery shall exceed
the limits established by the Act of July 10, 1957, P.L. 685, as amended,
73 P.S. §§ 164 through 168, and the rules and regulations
adopted thereunder, with the exception that no blasting shall cause
a peak particle velocity greater than 1.0 inch per second, measured
at the immediate location of any non-owned dwelling house, public
building, school, church, hospital, commercial or other institutional
building.
[9]
No parking shall be permitted in the front, side or rear yards
except parking shall be permitted behind any berm.
(b)
Any such application for a zoning permit or an annual renewal permit as hereinafter provided shall be accompanied by plans and other information to satisfy the criteria set forth in Subsection B(1)(a) above and, in addition, shall depict:

permit as hereinafter provided shall be initially referred to the
Planning Commission for review and to the Township Engineer for review
prior to final action by the Board of Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors,
in acting upon any original permit application or annual renewal permit
application, shall take into account the following:
[2]
The impact that the proposed operations would have upon the
health, safety and welfare of the community, including specifically
the finding that the use will not impact adversely upon the following:
(d)
No permit for any extraction operation shall issue until the
applicant shall have first demonstrated to the Board of Supervisors
that it has obtained all other permits and approvals required from
any other regulatory agency to conduct the extraction operations.
(2)
Annual renewal permit.
(a)
Each operator/owner of extraction operations within the Quarry
District shall be required to apply for and obtain an annual renewal
permit during each year of its operation.
(b)
The renewal permit application must be received by the Township
along with the appropriate fee not less than 45 days prior to the
expiration of the then-current permit.
(c)
The application shall include updated plans and other materials
showing the information required for the issuance of an original permit.
(3)
Fees. Applicants for zoning permits and annual renewal permits for
extraction operations shall pay a fee which shall be in accordance
with the fee schedule as may be from time to time adopted and amended
by the Township; provided, however, that the fee for the zoning permit
or annual renewal permit for extraction operations may not be increased
by more than 10% per annum over the fee in effect during the previous
year.
(4)
Rehabilitation and conservation requirements. The following provisions
shall apply to all extraction operations:
(a)
The owner, operator, lessee of any extraction operation shall,
at the time of application for a zoning permit, submit to the Township
its reclamation plan as submitted to the Pennsylvania Department of
Environmental Protection. No permit shall issue where said reclamation
plan provides for quarrying in areas of the site not permitted by
this chapter.
(b)
Along with said plan, the applicant shall include a timetable
for the reclamation proposed for the site in general with an actual
timetable for reclamation of slopes as may be found reasonable by
the Board of Supervisors within the setback areas.
(c)
Owner, lessee or operator of any extraction operation within
the Township shall, within six months from the date of this chapter
or receipt of a zoning permit authorizing said extraction operation,
whichever is the latter, submit a plan which shall include descriptions
and plans for suitable after-conditions or after-uses for all the
land affected.
(e)
Rehabilitation shall commence within one year following the
completion or the discontinuance for a period of one year of any extraction
operation (or the completion of the excavation of a portion of an
entire operation which can feasibly be restored separately from other
portions of the operation and which is not necessary to the operation).
Such rehabilitation shall be completed within five years from the
date rehabilitation commenced except where a longer period of time
is specifically authorized as part of the rehabilitation program.
Normal benching operations for sloping purposes shall not be construed
as requiring the commencement of rehabilitation.
(f)
Rehabilitation shall include removal of all debris, temporary
structures and stockpiles.
(g)
A layer of arable soil of sufficient depth to sustain grass,
shrubs and trees shall be provided in those parts of the operation
where feasible to do so. Grass, shrubs and trees native to the area
shall be planted thereon within six months after the providing of
arable soil.
(h)
Where the extraction operations are to be filled as part of
the rehabilitation process, no material shall be used for fill purposes
other than earth, stone, sand, concrete or asphalt.
(i)
Water accumulation upon the site may be retained after the completion
of such operations where the excavation cannot be reasonably drained
by gravity flow, provided that adequate provision shall be made to
avoid stagnation, pollution and the danger of improperly controlled
release of such waters from the site.
(j)
Upon receipt of the rehabilitation plans, the Township shall
review the plans to ensure compliance with all provisions of this
performance standard. Upon approval thereof, the Township shall issue
a certificate indicating approval of the plans as submitted or amended
and the approved plans shall be permanently filed in the official
records of the Township.
(k)
Plans may be amended from time to time by approval of the Township
upon application of the owners.
(l)
A performance bond may be required by the Township in an amount
determined by the Township to be sufficient to ensure the rehabilitation
of the affected site in accordance and compliance with the standards
for the issuance of any original permit or annual renewal permit in
accordance with the provisions of the plan of rehabilitation as submitted
pursuant to this chapter, if the bond posted with the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection or other agency
is not kept in force or if the Township is not named therein. The
Township may require that the bond posted with any state agency may
not be withdrawn or reclaimed without Township approval. With the
approval of the Township and for such period or periods as may be
specified, an owner maybe permitted to post his own bond without corporate
surety.
(5)
Inspection. To ensure that the provisions of the above sections of
this chapter are strictly satisfied, the Township shall have the right
to inspect any extraction operation within its boundaries. Such inspection
or inspections, as the Township may deem necessary, may be conducted
on any working day of the year, during regular business hours.
(6)
(7)
Application requirements for zoning permits for Use G-14 and Use
G-15.
(a)
Hereafter a use listed as Use G-14 Asphalt Plant or G-15 Ready-Mix
Concrete Plant may not be established until a zoning permit issues
from the Board of Supervisors. In determining whether a zoning permit
shall issue for an asphalt plant or a ready mix concrete plant, the
application shall be referred to the Planning Commission and the Township
Engineer for review. The Planning Commission and Engineer shall make
a report to the Township Supervisors, who shall then issue a permit
upon its finding that the regulations pertinent to the said use have
been satisfied and its further finding that the said use meets the
criteria set forth herein.
(b)
Any application for a use permit for an asphalt plant or ready
mix concrete plant shall be accompanied by the following plans and
materials:
[1]
Plot plan of the site at a scale of 100 feet to the inch showing
the location and dimensions of the plant in relation to the operation
and boundaries.
[2]
Any and all permits necessary from any state or other governmental
agency which may now or in the future regulate such operation.
[3]
Satisfactory proof that all state and other governmental regulations
and guidelines pertinent to the use have been satisfied.

dust and the spread of toxic or hazardous waste will be controlled.
(8)
Regulations for asphalt plant and ready mix concrete plants.
(a)
No asphalt plant or ready mix concrete plant shall operate between
the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m.
(b)
The asphalt plant or ready mix concrete plant shall be located
such that the land surrounding the plant shall be bermed in such a
fashion that the asphalt plant or ready mix concrete plant is not
visible at the property line.
