[Ord. No. 04-12 § 21-10.19]
Prior to the issuance of any building permit or certificate of occupancy for any use in the district within the Borough of Bound Brook, the applicant shall submit evidence to the Zoning Officer or the approving authority in connection with the site plan review shown in compliance with the applicable approval procedures of all authorized governmental agencies and with the following regulations:
a.
Fire and explosion hazards. All activities shall be carried on structures which conform to the standards of the National Board of Fire Underwriters or the Township Construction Code and Fire Prevention Code, whichever is more restrictive. All operations shall be carried on, and all combustible raw materials, fuels, liquids and finished products shall be stored, in accordance with the standards of said Board of Fire Underwriters.
b.
Radioactivity. Any activity which emits radioactivity at any point outside the confines of a building is prohibited.
c.
Smoke. There shall be no emission of visible smoke at any point from any chimney or other location.
d.
Fly ash dust, fumes, vapors, gases. There shall be no emission which can cause damage to health, to animals or vegetation or other forms of property or which can cause any excessive soiling at any point. Emission of any solid or liquid particles in concentrations exceeding 0.2 grains per cubic foot of the conveying gas or air at any point is prohibited. For measurement of the amount of particles in gases resulting from combustion, correction shall be applied to a standard stack temperature of 500° F. and 50% excess air.
e.
Liquid or solid wastes.
1.
No industrial operation shall discharge untreated industrial wastes of any kind into any reservoir, stream, ditch, pond or detention or retention system. Effluents shall at all times comply with the following standards:
(a)
Maximum five-day biochemical oxygen demand: five parts per million.
(b)
Maximum quality of effluent: 10% of minimum daily stream flow.
(c)
Maximum five-day biochemical oxygen demand after dilution (BOD of effluent, multiplied by quantity of effluent, divided by quantity of stream flow): 0.25 part per million.
(d)
Maximum total solids: 5,000 parts per million.
(e)
Maximum phenol: 0.01 part per million.
2.
No effluent shall contain any other acids, oils, dust, toxic metals, corrosive or other toxic substance in solution or suspension which would create odors or discolor, poison or otherwise pollute the stream in any way. The discharge and disposal of solid and liquid wastes into an underground drainage field shall be in accordance with plans and specifications as approved by the Borough Engineer and State and local boards of health.
f.
Vibration. Air-induced vibration shall be limited to the sound-pressure levels permitted under the paragraph below. No ground-transmitted vibration shall be generated which is discernible to the human sense beyond the immediate site on which such use is conducted.
g.
Noise. There shall be no operational noise, measured from any point on the property line of the lot in which the operation is located, which shall exceed the value given in the following tables in any octave band of frequency. The sound-pressure level shall be measured with a sound-level meter that conforms to specifications published by the American Standard Sound-Level Meters for Measurement of Noise and Other Sounds Z24.3-1944, American Standards Association, Inc., New York, New York, as may be updated.
