GENERAL REFERENCES
Gravel pits — See Ch. 204.
No person, company, firm or corporation shall raise the level of any land or portion thereof within the Township of Mantua by adding any material or substance other than fill authorized by this chapter. This chapter is not applicable to the addition to the land of any material or substance in the ordinary course of farming, horticulture, gardening or land and site rehabilitation called for under Chapter 204, Gravel Pits, of this Code.
Fill shall consist solely of topsoil, earth,
rock, gravel, quarry process or sand. "Topsoil" is the exposed layer
of the earth's surface, and "earth" is the layer of soil immediately
beneath the topsoil and above rock. Rock excludes boulders; "boulders"
are detached and rounded or worn pieces of rock, the greatest side
of which is no less than six inches. All other materials are excluded.
Not by way of limitation but by way of example, excluded materials
include but are not limited to muck, peat, timber, debris, stumps
and roots of trees and demolished structures, construction or any
other refuse. "Muck" is soft silt or clay, very high in organic content,
usually found in swampy areas or the product of dredging procedures.
"Peat" is a soil composed principally of partially decomposed vegetable
matter.
