The purpose of this chapter is to prevent stored salt and other
solid de-icing materials from being exposed to stormwater. This chapter
establishes requirements for the storage of salt and other solid de-icing
materials on properties not owned or operated by the municipality
(privately owned) in Lindenwold Borough to protect the environment,
public health, safety and welfare, and to prescribe penalties for
failure to comply.
For the purpose of this chapter, the following terms, phrases,
words and their derivations shall have the meanings stated herein
unless their use in the text of this chapter clearly demonstrates
a different meaning. When consistent with the context, words used
in the present tense include the future, words used in the plural
number include the singular number, and words used in the singular
number include the plural number. The word "shall" is always mandatory
and not merely directory.
