Zoning ordinances are concerned with the impacts of an individual's property use and seek to ensure that people use their property in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with other persons' use of their property. The regulations contained in this article shall be applicable to all land uses established in all zoning districts of the Township. Subjective performance standards shall apply. Township police officers and zoning and code enforcement officials, under local and state laws, are empowered to determine those avenues of prosecution.

No operation or activity shall, at any time, cause ground-transmitted vibrations that are detrimental to the public health, safety, comfort or welfare. Vibration resulting from temporary construction activity that occurs between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. shall be exempt from the requirements of this section.

The emission of smoke or particulate matter in such manner or quantity as to endanger or to be detrimental to the public health, safety, comfort or welfare is not permitted.

For purposes of this section, the "odor threshold" is defined as the minimum concentration in the air of a gas, vapor or particulate matter that can be detected by the olfactory systems of a panel of healthy observers. No use in any district, except where fertilizer is used as part of a permitted agricultural use, may generate an odor which is objectionable or noxious that reaches beyond the property line of the enterprise generating the odor.

All on-site lighting of buildings, lawns and parking areas shall be designed so as not to shine or cause glare in excess of 0.5 footcandle at any point onto adjacent property or onto any public street or vehicle thereon. No direct glare, whether from floodlights or high-temperature processes, shall be visible from adjoining public streets or adjacent lots when viewed by a person standing on ground level. Any operation producing intense glare or heat shall be conducted within a completely enclosed building in such a manner so as not to create a public nuisance or hazard.

In all districts, no use, activity or process shall be conducted which produces electric and/or magnetic fields which adversely affect public health, safety and welfare, including, but not limited to, interference with normal radio, telephone or television reception from off the premises where the activity is conducted.

There shall be no discharge at any point into any public or private sewerage system or stream or into the ground of any materials in such a way or of such a nature or temperature as can contaminate or otherwise cause the emission of hazardous materials except in accordance with the standards of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.

Storing of radioactive material is prohibited. All operations using radioactive materials, whether or not licensed by the Atomic Energy Commission, shall comply with the applicable regulations, as adopted and thereafter amended by the Pennsylvania State Department of Health, plus all regulations of any other local, state or federal regulatory agency.

Where the property lines of a parcel on which loading operations or refuse collection is conducted are located within 300 feet of a residential dwelling, truck loading or unloading operations, as well as refuse collection, shall not be conducted between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., except where conducted entirely within an enclosed structure.

It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, organization, contractor, developer or property owner, including agents, employees, independent contractors, or any other entity, to deposit, place, direct or otherwise cause to be placed upon any street, road, highway, lane or alley within the Township any liquid or particulate matter, including but not limited to snow, ice, refuse, mud, debris, dirt or grass. Water is not restricted, provided that it does not run across the street, pool along the street, erode the street or berm, build up on or in a street, or in any way create a danger to vehicular traffic or pedestrians. This section shall apply not only in connection with new construction or development activity but as it relates to any deposits on any vehicular rights-of-way in the Township at any time.
