As evidence of compliance, the Board may require certification of tests by appropriate government agencies or by recognized testing laboratories, all costs to be borne by the applicant. The Board may require that specific types of equipment, machinery, or devices be installed or that specific operating procedures or methods be followed of government agencies or testing laboratories examining the proposed operation shall determine that the use of such specific types of machinery, equipment, devices, procedures, or methods is required by other government agencies shall be submitted to the Planning Board as proof of compliance with applicable codes.

Industrial sewage waste. No industrial waste shall be discharged into the public sewage collection and disposal system unless the appropriate official of the Borough of Dunellen shall have first investigated the character and volume of such waste and shall have certified that it will accept the discharge of the waste material into the system. The applicant shall comply with any requirements of the Borough, including the pretreatment of such waste, control of pH and other methods of improving such waste treatment and disposal shall be approved by the Borough, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and the New Jersey State Health Department.

Glare. Any process producing intense glare or flashing of lights shall be performed within a completely enclosed building in such manner that no discomforting glare shall be disseminated beyond the building.

Lighting of any parking area or of any loading or unloading area shall conform to the strictest standards prescribed in Recommended Practice for Outdoor Parking Area Lighting, published by the Illumination Engineering Society, with spacing and type of luminaries such that spill light shall be kept at a minimum and glare controlled with lenses, louvers, or shields so as to minimize object able glare to any point beyond the lot line. Parking, loading and unloading areas that are in use after dark shall be so situated as to provide maximum shielding and concealment of lighting from adjoining properties. Luminaries lighting any sign, building, exterior, fountain, or decorative fixture shall be placed in such manner that the lighting is directed only toward the object to be lighted and does not disseminate glare.
