C.

All activities involving the manufacturing, fabricating, assembly, repairing, storing, cleaning, servicing, and testing of materials, products and goods shall be within completely enclosed buildings, or may be out of doors if completely screened by a solid wall or uniformly-painted solid fence at least eight (8) feet in height, and if there is no open storage at a greater height than that of the enclosing fence.

D.

No buildings, structures or parcels of land shall be used for the manufacturing, fabricating, assembly, repairing, storing, cleaning or servicing of materials, products or goods, within one hundred (100) feet of any lot line of a lot located in a residence district.

E.

Any use established in said manufacturing district which involves the manufacturing, fabricating, assembly, repairing, storing, cleaning, servicing or testing of materials, goods or products shall be operated in such a manner as to comply with applicable performance standards as hereinafter set forth governing noise, smoke, particulate matter, toxic or noxious mater, odors, fire and explosive hazards or vibrations, glare or heat; and no use already established on the effective date of this appendix shall be so altered or modified as to conflict with, or further conflict with such applicable performance standards. Compliance with the applicable performance standards shall be based upon a certification from a testing laboratory selected from a panel approved by the village board.

F.

All areas within the districts designated M-1 shall be construed to be within the fire limits.

Sound levels shall be measured with a sound level meter and associated octave band filter manufactured according to standards prescribed by the American Standard Association. Measurements shall be made using the flat network of the sound level meter. Impulsive type noises shall be subject to the performance standards hereinafter prescribed, provided that such noises shall be capable of being accurately measured with such equipment. Noises capable of being so measured, for the purpose of this appendix, 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, such as those of an irregular and intermittent nature, shall be controlled so as not to become a nuisance to adjacent uses.

At no point on the boundary of a residence or business district shall the sound intensity level of any individual operation or plant (other than the operation of motor vehicles or other transportation facilities) exceed the decibel levels in the designated octave bands shown on the following table:

The emission of smoke or particulate matter in such manner or quantity as to endanger or be detrimental to the public health, safety, comfort or welfare, is hereby declared to be a public nuisance and shall henceforth be unlawful.

For the purpose of grading the density of smoke, the Ringelmann Chart, published and used by the United States Bureau of Mines, shall be employed. The emission of smoke or particulate matter of a density greater than No. 2 on the Ringelmann Chart is prohibited at all times, except as otherwise provided hereinafter.

The emission from all sources within any lot area of particulate matter containing more than ten (10) per cent by weight of 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, roads, and the like within lot boundaries, shall be kept to a minimum by appropriate landscaping, paving, fencing or other acceptable means. Emission of particulate matter from such sources, in excess of the weight limitation hereinafter specified, is prohibited.

A.

Smoke: The emission of more than eight (8) smoke units per hour per stack is prohibited, including smoke of a density in excess of Ringelmann No. 2. However, during one (1) one-hour period in each 24-hour day, each stack may emit up to sixteen (16) smoke units when blowing soot or cleaning fires. Only during fire-cleaning periods, however, shall smoke of Ringelmann No. 3 be permitted, and then for not more than three (3) minutes.

No activity or operation shall cause, at any time, the discharge across the boundaries of the lot wherein it is located toxic or noxious matter in such concentrations as to be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, comfort or welfare, or cause injury or damage to property or business.

The emission of odorous matter in such a quantity as to be readily detectable at any point along lot lines, or as to produce a public nuisance or hazard beyond lot lines is prohibited.

A.

The storage, utilization or manufacture of materials or products ranging from incombustible to moderate burning—as determine for liquids by a closed cup flashpoint of not less than one hundred eighty-seven (187) degrees Fahrenheit—Is permitted subject to compliance with all other performance standards for the M district.

B.

The storage, utilization or manufacture of materials or products ranging from free or active burning to intense burning—As determine for liquids by a closed cup flashpoint of less than one hundred eighty-seven (187) degrees Fahrenheit, but not less than one hundred five (105) degrees Fahrenheit—Is permitted subject to compliance with all other performance standards for the M district, and provided the following conditions are met:

(1)

Said materials or products shall be stored, utilized or reduced within completely enclosed buildings or structures having incombustible exterior walls.

(2)

All such buildings or structures shall be set back at least forty (40) feet from lot lines, or in lieu thereof, all such buildings or structures shall be protected throughout by an automatic sprinkler system complying with installation standards prescribed by the National Fire Protection Association, or if the materials, goods or products are liquids, the protection thereof shall be in conformity with standards prescribed by the National Fire Protection Association.

C.

The utilization is manufacturing processes of materials which produce flammable or explosive vapors or gases—As determined for liquids by a closed cup flashpoint of less than one hundred five (105) degrees Fahrenheit—Shall be permitted in this district, provided:

(1)

That the final manufactured product does not itself have a closed cup flashpoint of less than one hundred eighty-seven (187) degrees Fahrenheit;

(2)

That the use and storage of such materials shall be in conformity with standards prescribed by the National Fire Protection Association and the requirements of other ordinances in the Village of Hazel Crest;

(3)

That the storage of more than forty thousand (40,000) gallons of materials or products having a closed cup flashpoint of less than one hundred five (105) degrees Fahrenheit (exclusive of storage in underground tanks and exclusive of storage of finished products in original sealed containers) is prohibited; and

(4)

That the storage of more than one hundred thousand (100,000) gallons of materials or products having a closed cup flashpoint of less than one hundred eighty-seven (187) degrees Fahrenheit (exclusive of storage in underground tanks and exclusive of storage of finished products in original sealed containers) is prohibited.

Any operation producing intense glare of heat shall be performed within a completely enclosed building in such manner as not to create a public nuisance or hazard along lot lines. Exposed sources of light shall be shielded so as not to create a nuisance across lot lines.
