The Township Committee finds and determines
that the transportation, manufacture, keeping, use, storing or handling
for any purpose whatsoever of any explosives, gunpowder, fireworks,
dynamite, munitions and other dangerous and combustible articles and
substances within the corporate limits of the Township of Egg Harbor
may be detrimental to the health, safety and well-being of the residents
of the Township of Egg Harbor. The Township Committee further finds
and determines that, while standards for regulating explosives are
the subject of state legislation, there is municipal authority to
govern the same.
