A. All wood sills and plates on top of foundation walls shall be pressure
impregnated with an approved preservative and termite-proof material.
When acceptable to the Building Inspector, in place of the preservative
treatment, a continuous metal shield, without open joints or other
openings, of aluminum, copper or other corrosion-resistive materials,
shall be installed on top of the foundation wall, extending two inches
beyond both faces of the wall and bent downward at an angle of forty-five
degrees (45°) to form a protective hood.
B. When acceptable to the Building Inspector, another alternate to the
use of impregnated sills or protection against termites is the treatment
of the soil around and under the foundation (before the foundation
is laid) with a one-percent chlordane or a five-hundredths-percent
heptachlor, or approved equivalent, solution in water, as follows:
(1) Apply to critical areas along the foundation walls, around piers
and under slabs of porches and entrance platforms.
(2) Apply at the rate of four gallons per 10 lineal feet along both sides
of walls, piers, etc. The chemical solution shall be mixed with soil
as it is being replaced in the trench, increasing the rate of application
by multiplying the base rate by the depth of the foundation in feet.
Apply in on-foot lifts.
(3) Apply to the surface under floors, entrance platforms, etc., at the
rate of one gallon per 10 square feet. If the fill is gravel or other
coarse material, apply at the rate of one and one-half (1 1/2)
gallons per 10 square feet.
[Added 3-7-77 by Ord. No. 318]
Before any new construction and/or alterations or additions shall take place as set forth in §
20-4 below, the Municipal Building Inspector shall require of all
applicants a flood hazard area determination as provided by the office
of the Township Engineer. The fee for such a determination shall be
$15.
[Added 3-5-79 by Ord. No. 379]
Following the installation of a building foundation and prior
to the start of framing, a survey plan prepared by a New Jersey licensed
land surveyor showing the location of the foundation with respect
to property lines and the first floor elevation of the building based
on the data of the approved site plan or subdivision shall be submitted
to the Construction Official for his approval.
