Any use or occupancy, which was not discontinued during any alteration work, shall be discontinued within thirty (30) days after the completion of the alteration if a new occupancy permit is not issued.

8-7A-18: INDUSTRIAL PERFORMANCE STANDARDS:

It is the purpose of this Section to establish regulations and standards for the installation and operation of industrial uses, based upon consideration of the objectionable characteristics of such uses and the zones in which they are permitted. Further, this Section is intended to prescribe procedures and methods of measurement of industrial characteristics subject to such standards.

8-7A-18-1: PERMIT PROCEDURE:

Before the Building Commissioner issues a building permit for a use in any Limited Industrial District, the applicant shall furnish the Building Commissioner sufficient information to enable the Building Commissioner to assure himself that all performance standards and site development standards set forth in this Article can and will be complied with at all times. The Building Commissioner, in order to determine whether or not the applicant will meet such standards, may require the applicant to submit the following information:

A. A plot plan showing the location of all present and proposed structures, drives, parking lots, waste disposal areas, bulk storage areas, streets, streams, or other significant features on or within two hundred feet (200') of the proposed site.

B. A description of the activity to be conducted regarding waste products, external effects or other conditions which are regulated herein; provided however, that the applicant shall not be required to reveal any trade secrets of sufficient detail with regard to a process which would cause any secret process or manufacturing procedure for a closely guarded proprietary compound or product to become public knowledge and be available to competitors.

C. The type and location of abatement devices to control, or recording instruments to measure, conformance with required standards, not including devices and instruments which are inherent in the manufacturing process.

D. Such other data and certification as may reasonably be required by the Building Commissioner to reach a determination.

All information and evidence submitted in applications to indicate conformity to performance standards shall constitute a certification and an agreement on the part of the applicant that the proposed use can and will conform to such standards at all times.

8-7A-18-2: PERFORMANCE STANDARDS:

In Limited Industrial Districts, the following regulations shall apply:

A. Noise:

1. Permitted Noise Levels: At no point on or beyond the boundary of any lot which abuts a lot in the same zone shall the sound pressure level resulting from any use or activity, whether open or enclosed, exceed the maximum permitted decibel levels for the designated octave band as set forth in Table 1 below:

TABLE 1

MAXIMUM PERMITTED SOUND PRESSURE LEVEL IN DECIBELS

Octave Band Frequency

Cycles Per Second		Decibels

0 -	74	67
75 -	149	59
150 -	299	52
300 -	599	46
600 -	1,199	40
1,200 -	2,399	34
2,400 -	4,799	32
4,800 -	and over	32

2. Method of Measurement: Sound levels shall be measured with a sound level meter and associated octave band filter and impact noise filter manufactured according to standards prescribed by the American Standards Association. Measurements shall be made using the flat network and "slow" meter response of the sound level meter. Impulsive type noises shall be subject to the performance standards if those noises are capable of being accurately measured with such equipment. Noises capable of being so measured, for the purpose of this Section, shall be those noises which cause rapid fluctuations of the needle of the sound level meter with a variation of no more than plus or minus two (±2) decibels. Noises incapable of being so measured, but objectionable because of intermittence, beat, frequency or shrillness, shall be controlled so as not to become a nuisance to adjacent uses.

3. Exception: Nothing in this Section shall apply to noises not directly under the control of the property user; noises resulting from the construction and maintenance of buildings and facilities including site preparation, noises of safety signals or warning devices, and noises of railroad or trucking equipment.

B. Vibration: Steady-state vibrations, for the purpose of this Section, are vibrations which are continuous or vibrations in discrete pulses more frequent than one hundred (100) per minute. Discrete pulses which do not exceed one hundred (100) impulses per minute shall not cause displacement in excess of twice the values established in Table 2 below. Impact vibration shall mean vibrations occurring in discrete pulses separated by an interval of at least one minute and number no more than eight (8) per twenty four (24) hour period.

1. Permitted Vibration Displacements: At no point on or beyond the boundary of any lot shall the ground-transmitted steady- state or impact vibration caused by any use or activity (except those not directly under the control of the property user) exceed the limits as established in Tables 2 and 3 below.

40 through 49	.0002	.0001
50 and over	.0002	.0001

2. Method of Measurement: For the purpose of measuring vibrations, a three (3) component measuring system shall be used. A three (3) component measuring system denotes instrumentation which can measure earthborn vibrations in three (3) directions, each of which occurs at right angles to the other two (2).

C. Smoke and Particulate Matter: The emission from all sources within any lot, of particulate matter containing more than five percent (5%) by weight or particles having a particle diameter larger than forty four (44) microns is prohibited. Dust and other types of air pollution borne by the wind from such sources as storage areas, yards and roads within the boundaries of any lot shall be kept to a minimum by appropriate landscaping, paving, oiling or other acceptable means. Emission of particulate matter from such sources in excess of weight limitations specified herein is prohibited. The emission of smoke or particulate matter of a density equal to, or greater than, No. 2 on the Ringelmann Chart is prohibited at all times, except as otherwise provided herein.

1. Smoke Emission: In Limited Industrial Districts, the emission of more than twelve (12) smoke units per stack in any one hour period is prohibited. However, once during any six (6) hour period each stack shall be permitted up to twelve (12) additional units in a fifteen (15) minute period for soot blowing and fire cleaning. Only during such fifteen (15) minute periods shall smoke of a density equal to, but not exceeding, Ringelmann No. 3 be permitted, and then only for fire cleaning and for not more than four (4) minutes per period.

2. Particulate Matter Emission: The rate of emission of particulate matter from all sources within the boundaries of any lot shall not exceed the rate established in Table 4 below:

TABLE 4

PERMITTED RATE OF PARTICULATE MATTER EMISSION

IN POUNDS PER HOUR, PER ACRE

Height of Emission

Feet		Pounds

0 –	49	1.00
50 –	99	1.01
100 –	149	1.06
150 –	199	1.10
200 –	299	1.16
300 –	399	1.30
400 and over		1.50

3. Methods of Measurement:

a. Smoke: For the purpose of grading the density of emission of smoke, the Ringelmann Chart, published and used by the United States Bureau of Mines, shall be employed. For the purpose of determining smoke units, the Ringelmann density reading shall be made at least every minute during the period of observation. Each reading (Ringelmann number) shall be multiplied by the time in minutes for which it is observed, and the products added together to determine the total number of smoke units observed during the total period of observation.

b. Particulate Matter: The total net rate of emission of particulate matter within the boundaries of any lot shall be determined as follows:

Determine the maximum emission in pounds per hour from each source of emission and divide this figure by the number of acres of lot areas, thereby obtaining the hourly rate of emission in pounds per acre. Add together the individual rates of emission as derived above to obtain the total rate of emission from all sources of emission within the boundaries of the lot. It is this total that shall not exceed the rate established in Table 4 above.

D. Odors: No continuous, frequent or repetitive emission of odors or odor-causing substances which would be offensive beyond any property line of any industrial use will be permitted. An odor emitted no more than fifteen (15) minutes in any one day shall not be deemed as continuous, frequent or repetitive within the meaning of these regulations. The existence of an odor shall be presumed when analysis by a competent technician demonstrates that a discernible odor is being emitted. Any process which may involve the creation or emission of any odors shall be provided with a primary and a secondary safeguard system so that control will be maintained if the primary safeguard system fails. The rules and regulations of the Illinois Air Pollution Control Board shall be complied with.

E. Radiation Hazards: The handling of radioactive materials, the discharge of such materials into air and water, and the disposal of radioactive wastes shall be in conformance with 1) the applicable regulations of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and 2) the applicable regulations of any instrumentality of the State of Illinois.

F. Fire and Explosive Hazards:

1. The provisions of 225 Illinois Compiled Statutes 210/1001 through 210/5014 shall be complied with, and no explosives shall be stored, used or manufactured without first submitting to the Zoning Officer a certificate of compliance from the Illinois Department of Mines and Minerals.

2. No gasoline or other inflammables or explosives shall be stored unless the location, plans and construction conform to the laws and regulations of the State of Illinois and have the approval of the State Division of Fire Prevention of the Department of Public Safety.

G. Glare and Heat: Every use and activity shall be so operated that it does not emit heat or heated air beyond the boundary of the lot on which it is located. No direct or sky-reflected glare shall emanate from any use or activity so as to be visible at any point on or beyond the boundary of the lot on which such use or activity is located. This restriction shall not apply to signs otherwise permitted by the provisions of this Article or other applicable ordinances of the Village, nor to activities of a temporary or of an emergency nature. Night lighting necessary for safety and the protection of property is excluded from this provision.

H. Electromagnetic Interference: There shall be no electromagnetic interference that adversely affects the operation of any equipment other than that belonging to the creator of such interference, or that does not conform to the regulations of the Federal Communications Commission.

8-7A-18-3: ENFORCEMENT:

The Building Commissioner shall enforce the provisions of this Section. Upon confirmation of a violation, enforcement and penalty provisions of Chapter 11 of this Title shall prevail. In addition, the Village may require the installation, maintenance and operation by the offending industry of continuous measuring or recording instruments to demonstrate the operation and to ensure continuous compliance with the prescribed standards.

8-7A-19: TREE SURVEY AND PRESERVATION:

B. Tree Survey: A tree survey plan indicating the location, size, genus and species of all trees within the subject property shall be submitted to the Village.

8-7B-18: INDUSTRIAL PERFORMANCE STANDARDS:

It is the purpose of this Section to establish regulations and standards for the installation and operation of industrial uses, based upon consideration of the objectional characteristics of such uses and the zones in which they are permitted. Further, this Section is intended to prescribe procedures and methods of measurement of industrial characteristics subject to such standards. (Ord. 91-04A, 5-22-91)

8-7B-18-1: PERMIT PROCEDURE:

Before the Building Commissioner issues a building permit for a use in any II Intensive Industrial District the applicant shall furnish the Building Commissioner sufficient information to enable the Building Commissioner to assure himself that all performance standards and site development standards set forth in this Article can and will be compiled with at all times. The Building Commissioner, in order to determine whether or not the applicant will meet such standards, may require the applicant to submit the following information:

B. A description of the activity to be conducted regarding waste products, external effects or other conditions which are regulated herein; provided, however, that the applicant shall not be required to reveal any trade secrets of sufficient detail with regard to a process which would cause any secret process or manufacturing procedure for a closely guarded proprietary compound or product to become public knowledge and be available to competitors.

D. Such other data and certification as may reasonably be required by the Building Commissioner to reach a determination.

8-7B-18-2: PERFORMANCE STANDARDS:

In II Intensive Industrial Districts, the following regulations shall apply:

A. Noise:

1. Permitted Noise Levels: At no point on or beyond the boundary of any lot which abuts a lot in the same zone shall be sound pressure level resulting from any use or activity, whether open or enclosed, exceed the maximum permitted decibel levels for the designated octave band as set forth in Table 1 below:

8-7G-16: INDUSTRIAL PERFORMANCE STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES:

It is the purpose of this section to establish regulations and standards for the installation and operation of industrial uses, based upon consideration of the objectionable characteristics of such uses and the zones in which they are permitted. Further, this section is intended to prescribe procedures and methods of measurement of industrial characteristics subject to such standards.

A. Permit Procedure: Applicants shall supply the Building Commissioner sufficient information that contains all performance standards and site development standards set forth in this article, which must be complied with at all times. The Building Commissioner may require the applicant to submit the following information:

1. A plot plan showing the location of all existing and proposed structures and features on and within two hundred feet (200') of the proposed site.

2. A description of the activity to be conducted regarding waste products, external effects or other conditions which are regulated herein. The applicant shall not be required to reveal details regarding any secret process or manufacturing procedure for a compound or product to become available to competitors.

3. The type and location of abatement devices to control, or recording instruments to measure, conformance with required standards, excluding devices and instruments which are inherent in the manufacturing process.

4. Such other data and certification as may reasonably be required by the Building Commissioner to reach a determination.

B. Performance Standards: In Industrial Districts, the following regulations shall apply:

1. Permitted Noise Levels: At no point on or beyond the boundary of any lot which abuts a lot in the same zone shall the sound pressure level exceed the maximum permitted decibel levels for the designated octave band as set forth in table 8-7G-16-1 of this subsection:

TABLE 8-7G-16-1

MAXIMUM PERMITTED SOUND PRESSURE LEVEL

IN DECIBELS - OCTAVE BAND FREQUENCY

Cycles Per Second	Decibels
0 - 74	67
75 - 149	59
150 - 299	52
300 - 599	46
600 - 1,199	40
1,200 - 2,399	34
2,400 - 2,799	32
2,800 and over	32

2. Method Of Measurement: Sound levels shall be measured with a sound level meter, associated octave band filter, and impact noise filter manufactured according to standards prescribed by the American Standards Association. Measurements shall be made using the flat network and "slow" meter response of the sound level meter. Impulsive type noises shall be subject to the performance standards. Noises incapable of being so measured, but objectionable because of intermittence, beat, frequency or shrillness, shall be controlled so as not to become a nuisance to adjacent uses.

3. Exception: Sound level requirements in this section shall not apply to noises from site preparation, safety signals, warning devices, and railroad or trucking equipment.

4. Vibration: Steady-state vibrations, for the purpose of this section, are vibrations which are continuous or vibrations in discrete pulses more frequent than one hundred (100) per minute. Discrete pulses which do not exceed one hundred (100) impulses per minute shall not cause displacement more than twice the values established in subsection B5, table 8-7G-16-2 of this section. Impact vibration shall mean vibrations occurring in discrete pulses separated by an interval of at least one minute and number no more than eight (8) per twenty four (24) hour period.

5. Permitted Vibration Displacements: At no point on or beyond the boundary of any lot shall the ground-transmitted steady-state or impact vibration caused by any use or activity under the control of the property owner exceed the limits as established in tables 8-7G-16-2 and 8-7G-16-3 of this subsection:

TABLE 8-7G-16-2

MAXIMUM PERMITTED STEADY-STATE VIBRATION DISPLACEMENT

Frequency (Cycles Per Second)	Limited Industrial District (Inches)	Adjacent To Any Residential Zone (Inches)
Less than 10	0.0008	0.0004

20 through 29	0.0003	0.0001
30 through 39	0.0002	0.0001
40 through 49	0.0001	0.0001
50 and over	0.0001	0.0001

TABLE 8-7G-16-3

MAXIMUM PERMITTED IMPACT VIBRATION DISPLACEMENT

Frequency (Cycles Per Second)	Limited Industrial District (Inches)	Adjacent To Any Residential Zone (Inches)
Less than 10	0.0016	0.0006

40 through 49	0.0002	0.0001
50 and over	0.0002	0.0001

6. Method Of Measurement: For the purpose of measuring vibrations, a three (3) component measuring system shall be used. A three (3) component measuring system denotes instrumentation which can measure earthborn vibrations in three (3) directions, each of which occurs at right angles to the other two (2).

7. Smoke And Particulate Matter: The emission from all sources within any lot, of particulate matter containing more than five percent (5%) by weight or particles having a particle diameter larger than forty four (44) microns is prohibited. Dust and other types of air pollution borne by the wind from such sources as storage areas, yards and roads within the boundaries of any lot shall be kept to a minimum by appropriate landscaping, paving, oiling or other acceptable means. Emission of particulate matter from such sources more than weight limitations specified herein is prohibited. The emission of smoke or particulate matter of a density equal to, or greater than, no. 2 on the Ringelmann Chart is prohibited, except as otherwise provided herein.

8. Smoke Emission: In Limited Industrial Districts, the emission of more than twelve (12) smoke units per stack in any one-hour period is prohibited. However, once during any six (6) hour period each stack shall be permitted up to twelve (12) additional units in a fifteen (15) minute period for soot blowing and fire cleaning. Only during such fifteen (15) minute periods shall smoke of a density equal to, but not exceeding, Ringelmann no. 3 be permitted, and then only for fire cleaning and for not more than four (4) minutes per period.

9. Particulate Matter Emission: The rate of emission of particulate matter from all sources within the boundaries of any lot shall not exceed the rate established in table 8-7G-16-4 of this subsection:

TABLE 8-7G-16-4

PERMITTED RATE OF PARTICULATE MATTER EMISSION

IN POUNDS PER HOUR, PER ACRE

Height Of Emission	Pounds Per Hour, Per Acre
0' - 49'	1.00
50' - 99'	1.01
100' - 149'	1.06
150' - 199'	1.10
200' - 299'	1.16
300' - 399'	1.30
400' and over	1.50

10. Methods Of Measurement.

11. Smoke: For the purpose of grading the density of emission of smoke, the Ringelmann Chart, published and used by the United States Bureau of Mines, shall be employed. For the purpose of determining smoke units, the Ringelmann density reading shall be made at least every minute during the period of observation. Each reading (Ringelmann number) shall be multiplied by the time in minutes for which it is observed, and the products added together to determine the total number of smoke units observed during the total period of observation.

12. Particulate Matter: The total net rate of emission of particulate matter within the boundaries of any lot shall be determined as follows: Determine the maximum emission in pounds per hour from each source of emission and divide this figure by the number of acres of lot areas, thereby obtaining the hourly rate of emission in pounds per acre. Add together the individual rates of emission as derived above to obtain the total rate of emission from all sources of emission within the boundaries of the lot. It is this total that shall not exceed the rate established in subsection B9, table 8-7G-16-4 of this section.

13. Odors: No continuous or repetitive emission of odors or odor- causing substances which would be offensive beyond any property line of any industrial use will be permitted. An odor emitted no more than fifteen (15) minutes in any one day shall not be deemed as continuous, frequent or repetitive within the meaning of these regulations. The existence of an odor shall be presumed when analysis by a competent technician demonstrates that a discernible odor is being emitted. Any process which may involve the creation or emission of any odors shall be provided with a primary and secondary safeguard system so that control will be maintained if the primary safeguard system fails.

14. Radiation Hazards: The handling of radioactive materials, the discharge of such materials into air and water, and the disposal of radioactive wastes shall be in conformance with the applicable regulations of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and any instrumentality of the State of Illinois.

15. Fire And Explosive Hazards:

a. Explosives; Certificate Of Compliance: The provisions of 225 Illinois Compiled Statutes 210/1001 through 210/5014 shall be complied with, and no explosives shall be stored, used or manufactured without first submitting to the Zoning Officer a certificate of compliance from the Illinois Department of Mines and Minerals.

b. Gasoline, Inflammables Or Explosives: No gasoline or other inflammables or explosives shall be stored unless the location, plans and construction conform to the laws and regulations of the State of Illinois and have the approval of the State Division of Fire Prevention of the Department of Public Safety.

c. Glare And Heat: Every use and activity shall be operated so that it does not emit heat or heated air beyond the boundary of the lot on which it is located. Night lighting necessary for safety and the protection of property shall follow the exterior lighting standards set forth in section 8-7G-9 of this article.

16. Electromagnetic Interference: There shall be no electromagnetic interference that adversely affects the operation of any equipment other than that belonging to the creator of such interference, or that does not conform to the regulations of the Federal Communications Commission.

17. Enforcement: The Building Commissioner, or such other Village staff member as may be designated by the Village Administrator, shall enforce the provisions of this section. Upon confirmation of a violation, enforcement and penalty provisions of chapter 11 of this title shall prevail. The Village may require the installation, maintenance, and operation by the offending industry through continuous measuring or recording instruments to demonstrate the operation, and to ensure continuous compliance with the prescribed standards.
