AQI (AIR QUALITY INDEX)
The AQI scale is an environmental indicator that provides
an understandable index of environmental quality, namely air quality.
The AQI ratings are 0-50= good; 51-100 = moderate; 101 and higher=
unhealthy
ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS
Shall mean looping, coning, fanning, lofting, and fumigation
as described herein:
a.
LOOPINGLarge-scale turbulent eddies cause sizable parcels of air, together with portions of the plume, to deviate from a straight downwind direction.
b.
CONINGThe shape of the plume is commonly vertically symmetrical about what is called the plume line.
c.
FANNINGSuppressed vertical mixing, but not horizontal mixing entirely causes the plume to spread only parallel to the ground and appears to take on the shape of a fan as seen from below.
d.
LOFTINGThe lapse rate in the upper portion of the plume is unstable and in the lower it is stable. Mixing is vigorous in the upward direction.
e.
FUMIGATIONWhere the plume is released just under an elevated inversion layer. When the low-level unstable lapse rate reaches the plume, the effluent suddenly mixes downward toward the ground. This condition poses a potentially serious air pollution situation.
FIREWOOD
Shall mean trunks and branches of trees and bushes not including
leaves, needles, vines, or brush smaller than three (3) inches in
diameter.
GARBAGE
Shall mean any solid, semisolid or liquid waste generated
from residential, commercial, and industrial sources, including, trash,
refuse, rubbish, industrial wastes manure, vegetable or animal wastes
or other discarded solid or semisolid wastes.
SEASONED WOOD
Shall mean firewood that has a moisture content of twenty
(20%) percent or less by weight.
SOLID FUEL
Shall mean any wood, wood based product, non-gaseous or non-liquid
fuel including but not limited to: manufactured logs, wood or other
pellet products. Not including solid fuel intended for cooking, such
as charcoal.
TREATED WOOD
Shall mean any wood that has been chemically impregnated,
painted or similarly modified to improve resistance to insects or
weathering.
WOOD-BURNING DEVICE
Shall mean any wood burning stove or heater, pellet fueled
device, fireplace, or any indoor permanently installed device used
to bum any solid fuel for space heating or aesthetic purposes.
[Ord. #09-69]
No person shall cause or allow any of the following materials
to be burned in a wood-burning device: garbage, treated wood, wet
or non-seasoned firewood, rotted or diseased firewood, waste petroleum
products, paints and solvents, coal, animal carcasses, glossy or colored
paper, salt water drift wood, particle board, plywood, plastics and
any material not intended or manufactured for use as fuel in a wood-burning
device.
[Ord. #09-69]
a. No person shall cause or allow the operation of a wood-burning device
when its operation and use due to weather or atmospheric conditions
cause the emissions from the wood-burning device to remain close to
ground level and inhibit the emissions from dissipating as they would
during normal atmospheric conditions resulting is offensive odors
and or smoke conditions thus creating a public health nuisance. The
Atmospheric Conditions include but are not limited to: looping, coning,
fanning, lofting, and fumigation.
b. An operator of a wood-burning device shall immediately discontinue
the use of the wood-burning device when he becomes aware, either through
his own observations or that of another, that the emissions from the
wood-burning device are remaining close to the ground, causing smoke,
particulate or odors to be present in the surrounding area. The operation
of a wood-burning device shall be prohibited during this time and
until such time that these conditions no longer exist. In determining
to cease operation of the wood-burning device due consideration shall
be given to numerous weather variables that cannot be predicted in
advance that affect the dispersion of the plume from a wood-burning,
device and the proximity of nearby buildings and structures, natural
and man made, which can adversely affect the dispersion of the plume
from a wood-burning device causing the emissions from a wood-burning
device to remain close to ground level and not dissipate as during
normal operating conditions.
[Ord. #09-69]
Operation of a wood-burning device shall be prohibited during
the days when the New Jersey State AQI is above 100. Operation shall
be prohibited at all times the AQI is above 100 and until the AQI
falls below 100 or is considered to be moderate or good as defined
by the AQI unless the Wood-Burning device is the only source of heat
for the home and the outside temperature is below fifty (50) degrees
Fahrenheit. The New Jersey AQI level can be found at www.state.nj.us/dep/airmon/.
[Ord. #09-69]
a. Any person violating any provision of this §
35-17 shall, upon conviction thereof, be liable for the penalties stated in Chapter
1, §
1-5 of this Code.
b. A separate offense shall be deemed committed on each day on which
a violation occurs.
c. The provisions of this section shall be enforced by a licensed REHS
