Any building, structure or tract of land developed, constructed
or used for any permitted principal or accessory industrial use shall
comply with all the performance standards as set forth in this section.
These performance standards shall apply, unless exceeded by any State

[1979 Code § 64-95B; Ord. No. 2017-02]
There shall be no emission of smoke or other visible atmospheric
pollutant to give a plume equivalent opacity in excess of 15%. Opacity
readings may be made visually by a trained observer or by a stack
mounted opacity meter. Steam plumes are exempt from this limit, but
steam may not be used to mask other emissions.
[1979 Code § 64-95C; Ord. No. 2017-02]
Emission of odorous matter shall be below odor threshold concentrations at the lot line and at the point of maximum ground level concentration if this point is beyond the lot line. Recognized compilations of odor threshold concentrations may be used as standards of the granting of use permits, but for an established use, the actual detectability of odor shall be the standard. Odor threshold compilations include Air Pollution Control Association Paper 68-131, 1968; Table III, Chapter 5 of the Air Pollution Abatement Manual, Manufacturing Chemists Association, Washington, 1951; and the United States Bureau of Mines Technical Paper 480, 1930.

a.
Dust, dirt, fly ash and other particulates shall be controlled so
that no such emission will cause damage to human health, animals,
vegetation or other property or which can cause any excessive soiling
beyond the lot line of the source use. There shall be no emission
of any solid or liquid particulate matter in excess of 0.015 grains
per dry standard cubic foot of stack gas, corrected to 12% carbon
dioxide (CO2). Particulate emission determinations shall be made according
to Environmental Protection Agency Method 5.
b.
Fugitive dust shall be held to a minimum by use of good housekeeping
practices and other appropriate control techniques.
[1979 Code § 64-95E; Ord. No. 2017-02]
Under no circumstances shall any use emit noxious, toxic or corrosive fumes or gases. Reference shall be made to Table I, Industrial Hygiene Standards, Maximum Allowable Concentrations, Chapter 5, of the Air Pollution Abatement Manual for determination of toxic pollutants to be prohibited.

in accordance with the standards of the American Insurance Association.
[1979 Code § 69-95H; Ord. No. 2017-02]
There shall be no discharge at any point of treated or untreated
sewage or industrial waste into any stream, lake or reservoir or into
the ground of any material which may contaminate the water supply

discharged into any system nor shall any wastes be discharged in the
public sewer system which are dangerous to the public health and safety.
a.
Maximum five-day biochemical oxygen demand shall be 5.0 parts per
million.
b.
Maximum quantity of effluent shall be 10% of minimum daily stream
flow.
c.
Maximum five-day biochemical oxygen demand after dilution, biochemical
oxygen demand of effluent multiplied by quantity of effluent divided
by quantity of stream flow, shall be 0.25 parts per million.
d.
Acidity or alkalinity shall be neutralized to a pH of 7.0 as a daily
average on a volumetric basis, with a temporary variation of 6.0 to
8.5.
e.
Wastes.
1.
Wastes shall not contain any insoluble substances in excess of 5,000
parts per million, and no insoluble substances shall be noticeable
in the water or deposited along the above or on the aquatic substrata
in quantities detrimental to the natural biota.
2.
Wastes shall contain no cyanides and no halogens.
3.
Threshold odor number shall not exceed 24° to 60° C.
5.
No effluent shall contain any acids, ores, dust, toxic metals, corrosive
or other toxic substance in solution or suspension which may cause
odors, discolor, poison or otherwise pollute streams and waterways
in any way. There shall be no thermal discharges which detrimentally
affect the natural aquatic biota or reasonably anticipated reuse of
the waters. There shall be no accumulation of solid wastes conducive
to the breeding of rodents or insects.

shall be approved by the New Jersey State Department of Environmental
Protection and the Sussex County Department of Health.
[1979 Code § 69-951; Ord. No. 2017-02]
No activity shall cause or create a steady state or impact vibration
at or beyond the lot line causing acceleration in excess of that indicated
in the attached figures. The numbers on the ordinate are peak values
of sinusoidal accelerations or 1.4 times the root mean square values
of random vibrations measures in octave bands. These criteria are
for vertical vibrations and are to be reduced by a factor of 1.4 for
horizontal vibrations. The ordinate unit g is 9.81 m/sec2 (32.2 ft/sec2).[1]

Editor's Note: The "attached figures" referred to in this
subsection are on file in the office of Township Clerk.
[1979 Code § 69-65J; Ord. No. 2017-02]
Radioactivity shall not be emitted to exceed quantities established
as safe by the United States Bureau of Standards or FCC Guidelines,
as amended from time to time. No electrical disturbances, except from
domestic household appliances, adversely affecting the operation at
any point of any equipment other than that of the creator of such
disturbance shall be created.
[1979 Code § 69-95J; Ord. No. 2017-02]
Any operation shall also comply with any applicable State standards
and requirements and particularly to the New Jersey Department of
Environmental Protection Administrative Code, Title 7, Chapter 27,
Subchapters 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 11, 13 and 16.
a.
Enforcement of Performance Standards. An industry desiring to build, develop or utilize a tract or site of land must submit an application to the Planning Board in accordance with Article IX. The application shall include the following detailed information concerning the environmental effects regulated by the performance standards and certification by a registered architect or engineer for the applicant that the proposed use can meet the performance standards of this subsection.
b.
The procedure for enforcement for established industries shall be
as follows: If a violation of the performance standards created has
occurred, the Zoning Officer shall send a written notice of the violation
to the owners of the property by certified mail. The owner(s) shall
have 30 days to correct the violation unless, if in the opinion of
the Zoning Officer, there is an imminent peril to life and property,
in which case the violation shall be corrected immediately. Where
determinations of violation can be made by the Zoning Officer using
equipment normally available to the Township or otherwise obtainable
without extraordinary expense, such determination shall be so made
before notice of the violation is issued.
c.
Where technical complexity or extraordinary expense makes it unreasonable
for the Township to maintain the personnel or equipment necessary
to make the determination of violation, then the Township shall call
in properly qualified experts to make the determination. If expert
findings indicate a violation of the performance standards, the costs
of the determination shall be assessed against the properties or persons
responsible for the violation, in addition to the other penalties
prescribed by this chapter. If no violation is found, cost of the
determination shall be paid entirely by the Township.
