(a)

For the purpose of determining the density or equivalent opacity of smoke, the Ringlemann Chart, as adopted and published by the United States Department of Interior, Bureau of Mines Information Circular 8333, May, 1967, shall be used. The Ringlemann number referred to in this section refers to the number of the area of the Ringlemann Chart that coincides most nearly with the visual density or equivalent opacity of the emission of smoke observed. For example, a reading of Ringlemann No. 1 indicates a 20 percent density of the smoke observed.

(b)

All measurements shall be taken at the point of emission of the smoke.

(c)

In all districts except industrial, no land use other than residential may emit from a vent, stack, chimney or combustion process any smoke that is visible to the naked eye.

(d)

In the industrial district, no use may emit from a vent, stack, chimney or combustion process any smoke that exceeds a density or equivalent opacity of Ringlemann No. 1, except that emission that does not exceed a density or equivalent opacity of Ringlemann No. 2 is permissible for a duration of not more than four minutes during any eight hour period if the source of such emission is not located within 250 feet of a residential district.

(a)

No use in any office, commercial or industrial district may generate noise that tends to have an annoying or disruptive effect upon:

(1)

Uses located outside the immediate space occupied by the use if that use is one of several located on a lot; or

(2)

Uses located on adjacent lots.

(b)

Noise resulting from temporary construction activity that occurs between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. shall be exempt from the requirements of this section.

(a)

For purposes of this section, the "odor threshold" is defined as the minimum concentration in air of a gas, vapor or particulate matter that can be detected by the olfactory systems of a panel of healthy observers.

(b)

No use in any district may generate any odor that reaches the odor threshold, measured at:

(1)

The outside boundary of the immediate space occupied by the enterprise generating the odor.

(2)

The lot line if the enterprise generating the odor is the only enterprise located on a lot.

(a)

No zoning, special exception or conditional-use permit may be issued with respect to any development covered by F.S. Chapter 403 until the appropriate state permits have been received by the developer or until the applicable agencies have certified that the developer will be eligible to receive such permits and that the development is otherwise in compliance with applicable air pollution laws.

(a)

No use in any district may discharge any waste contrary to the provisions of F.S. Chapter 403 (the State law governing discharges of radiological, chemical or biological wastes into surface or subsurface waters).

(b)

No use in any district may discharge into sewage treatment facilities any waste that cannot be adequately treated by biological means.

No use may:

(a)

Create any electrical disturbance that adversely affects any operations or equipment other than those of the creator of such disturbance, or

(b)

Otherwise cause, create or contribute to the interference with electronic signals (including television and radio broadcasting transmissions) to the extent that the operation of any equipment not owned by the creator of such disturbance is adversely affected.
