All uses in a Planned Industrial District shall adhere to the following standards:
A.
Dust and smoke. The emission of smoke, soot, fly ash, fumes, dust and other types of air pollution borne by the wind shall be controlled so that the rate of emission and quantity deposited shall not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, comfort or welfare or adversely affect property values.

Glare and heat. Any operation producing intense glare or heat shall be conducted in such a manner so that the glare or heat shall be completely imperceptible from any point along a lot line.
C.
Odorous matter. The emission of odorous matter in such quantities as to produce a public nuisance or hazard beyond the lot occupied by the user shall not be permitted.

Noise. The weighted average sound pressure level as measured at the edge of a lot and which is produced by a mechanical, electrical or other equipment operation on the lot, where said lot is adjacent to a residential area, shall not exceed the average intensity of the street traffic noise in that residential area. No sound shall have objectionable intermittence, volume, beat, frequency or shrillness characteristics. The maximum level shall not exceed 65 decibels on the A-scale measured at any adjacent residential property line.
E.
Vibration. Every use shall be so operated that the ground vibration inherently and recurrently generated by said use is not perceptible without instruments at any point along any property line of the lot on which the use is located.
F.
Fire and explosive hazards. The handling, use and nonbulk storage of flammable and combustible materials shall be permitted only in conformance with New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code requirements and in structures having noncombustible exterior walls, and all operations in connection therewith shall be provided with adequate safety and protective devices against hazards of fire and explosion, as well as with adequate fire-fighting and suppression equipment and devices standard to the operation involved, as determined by the Planning Board.

H.
Fissionable or radioactive materials. No activities shall be permitted which utilize fissionable or radioactive materials if their use results at any time in the release or emission of fissionable or radioactive material into the atmosphere, the ground or sewerage systems which exceeds New York State regulation or more than 25% above background levels.
I.
Liquid wastes. New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and/or Health Department approval shall be required prior to the discharge of any liquid wastes unless said waste is discharged in a public sewer system.

B.
No permitted or permissible use shall be conducted in any manner which would render it noxious or offensive by reason of dust, refuse matter, odor, smoke, gas, fumes, noise, vibration or glare.
