Industrial Performance Procedures.

A.

Procedure and Purpose. The purpose of the performance standards procedure is to ensure that an objective, unbiased determination is made in those cases where there may be substantial doubt as to whether an individual land use or group of land uses comply with the performance standards of this Section, and to formulate practical ways for the alleviation of such non-compliance.

B.

Compliance. Should the Zoning Administrator determine that the proposed use may violate the performance standard set forth herein, the Zoning Administrator shall require information from the applicant or owner or operator and initiate an investigation. Should such additional data be required, the Zoning Administrator shall request information including but not limited to the following:

1.

Plans of the existing or proposed construction and development.

2.

A description of the existing or proposed machinery, processes and products.

3.

Specifications for the mechanisms and techniques used or proposed to be used in restricting the possible emission of any of the dangerous and objectionable elements as set forth in this Section.

4.

Measurements of the amount or rate of emission of said dangerous and objectionable elements. Failure to submit data requested by the Zoning Administrator shall constitute grounds for denying a permit.

C.

Report by Expert Consultants. The Zoning Administrator may require any person, firm or corporation to retain an expert consultant or consultants to study and report as to compliance or noncompliance with the performance standards, and to advise how a proposed use can be brought into compliance with the performance standards. Such consultants shall be persons or firms mutually agreeable to the Zoning Administrator and to the owner or operator of the use in question. In the event of inability to select a mutually agreeable consultant, the Zoning Board of Appeals shall select the consultant. The cost of the consultant's services shall be borne by the owner or operator of said use.

D.

Action by the Zoning Administrator. Within sixty (60) days following the receipt of the acquired evidence, or receipt of the reports of expert consultants, the Zoning Administrator shall make a determination as to compliance or non-compliance with the performance standards. The Zoning Administrator may require modification or alterations in the existing or proposed construction or the operational procedures to ensure that compliance with the performance standards will be maintained. The operator shall be given a reasonable length of time to effect any changes prescribed by the Zoning Administrator for the purpose of securing compliance with the performance standards.

E.

Enforcement. The Zoning Administrator shall investigate any purported violation of performance standards, and, if there are reasonable grounds for the same, shall investigate the alleged violation. For such investigation, the Administrator may employ qualified experts. If, after public hearing on due notice, the Village finds that a violation occurred or exists, a copy of said findings shall be forwarded to the owner or operator with instructions to correct the violation. The services of any qualified experts, employed by the Village of Frankfort to advise in establishing a violation, shall be paid by the violator if said violation is established by the Village of Round Lake Park.

F.

Cancellation of Permits. If, after the conclusion of the time granted for compliance with the performance standards, the Zoning Administrator finds the violation is still in existence, any permits previously issued shall be void and the operator shall be required to cease operation until the violation is remedied.

G.

Industrial Performance Standards.

1.

Noise. For the purpose of measuring the intensity and frequency of sound, the sound level meter, the octave band analyzer, and the impact noise analyzer shall be employed. The flat network and the fast meter response of the sound level meter shall be used. Sounds of short duration which cannot be measured accurately with the Sound level meter shall be measured with the impact noise analyzer. Octave band analyzers calibrated in the preferred frequencies (American Standards Association SI 6-1950, Preferred Frequencies for Acoustical Measurements) shall be used with the following tables.

For the purpose of measuring the intensity and frequency of sound, the sound level meter, the octave band analyzer, and the impact noise analyzer shall be employed. The flat network and the fast meter response of the sound level meter shall be used. Sounds of short duration which cannot be measured accurately with the sound level meter shall be measured with the impact noise analyzer. Octave band analyzers calibrated in the preferred frequencies (American Standards Association SI 6-1950, Preferred Frequencies for Acoustical Measurements) shall be used with the following tables.

Exceptions: The following uses and activities shall be exempt from the noise level regulations in the I-1 District.

a.

Noises not directly under control of the property user.

However, once during any six-hour period each stack may emit up to thirty-five (35) smoke units - not to exceed Ringelmann No. 2 - 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 four (4) minutes per period.

The rate of emission of particulate matter from all sources within the boundaries of any lot shall not exceed a net figure of one (1) pound per acre of lot area during any one (1) hour, after deducting from the gross hourly emission per acre the correction factor set forth in the following table:

Allowance for Height of Emission*

* Interpolate for intermediate values not shown in table.

Determination of the total net rate of emission of particulate matter within the boundaries of any lot shall be made as follows:

a.

Determine the maximum emission in pounds per hour from each source of emission and divide this figure by the number of acres of lot area - thereby obtaining the gross hourly rate of emission in pounds per acre.

b.

From each gross hourly rate of emission derived in (a) above, deduct the correction factor (interpolating as required) for height of emission set forth in the table, thereby obtaining the net rate of emission in pounds per acre per hour from each source of emission.

c.

Add together the individual net rates of emission derived in (b) above, to obtain the total net rate of emission from all sources of emission within the boundaries of the lot. Such total shall not exceed one (1) pound per acre of lot area during any one hour.

4.

Toxic Matter. The measurement of toxic matter shall be made at ground level or habitable elevation and shall be the average of any 24-hour sampling period. The release of any airborne toxic matter shall not exceed the fractional quantities permitted of the matters currently listed in the Threshold Limit Values adopted by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists. If a toxic substance is not contained in this listing, the applicant shall satisfy the County that the proposed levels will be safe and not detrimental to the general population nor injurious to plant and animal life.

In the I-1 District, the release of airborne toxic matter shall not exceed one-thirtieth ( 1/30 ) of the threshold limit values across lot lines.

5.

Noxious and Odorous Matter. In the I-1 District, no activity or operation shall cause at any time the discharge of matter across lot lines in such concentration as to be noxious.

8.2-9

Industrial Performance Standards.

A.

Procedure and Purpose. The purpose of the performance standards procedure is to ensure that an objective, unbiased determination is made in those cases where there may be substantial doubt as to whether an individual land use or group of land uses complies with the performance standards of this Section, and to formulate practical ways for the alleviation of such noncompliance.

B.

Compliance. Should the Zoning Administrator determine that the proposed use may violate the performance standards set forth herein, the Zoning Administrator shall require information from the applicant or owner or operator, and initiate an investigation. Should such additional data be required, the Zoning Administrator shall request information including but not limited to the following:

1.

Plans of the existing or proposed construction and development.

2.

A description of the existing or proposed machinery, processes and products.

3.

Specifications for the mechanisms and techniques used or proposed to be used in restricting the possible emission of any of the dangerous and objectionable elements as set forth in this Section.

4.

Measurements of the amount or rate of emission of said dangerous and objectionable elements. Failure to submit data requested by the Zoning Administrator shall constitute grounds for denying a permit.

C.

Report by Expert Consultants. The Zoning Administrator may require any person, firm or corporation to retain an expert consultant or consultants to study and report as to compliance or non-compliance with the performance standards, and to advise how a proposed use can be brought into compliance with the performance standards. Such consultants shall be fully qualified to give the required information and shall be persons or firms mutually agreeable to the Zoning Administrator and to the owner or operator of the use in question. In the event of inability to select a mutually agreeable consultant, the Zoning Board of Appeals shall select the consultant. The cost of the consultant's services shall be borne by the owner or operator of said use.

D.

Action by the Zoning Administrator. Within sixty (60) days following the receipt of the acquired evidence, or receipt of the reports of expert consultants, the Zoning Administrator shall make a determination as to compliance or non-compliance with the performance standards. The Zoning Administrator may require modification or alterations in the existing or proposed construction or the operational procedures to ensure that compliance with the performance standards will be maintained. The operator shall be given a reasonable length of time to effect any changes prescribed by the Zoning Administrator for the purpose of securing compliance with the performance standards.

E.

Enforcement. The Zoning Administrator shall investigate any purported violation of performance standards, and, if there are reasonable grounds for the same, shall investigate the alleged violation. For such investigation, the Administrator may employ qualified experts. If, after public hearing on due notice, the Village finds that a violation occurred or exists, a copy of said findings shall be forwarded to the owner or operator with instructions to correct the violation. The services of any qualified experts, employed by the Village of R.L. Park to advise in establishing a violation, shall be paid by the violator if said violation is established, by the Village of R.L. Park.

F.

Cancellation of Permits. If, after the conclusion of the time granted for compliance with the performance standards, the Zoning Administrator finds the violation is still in existence, any permits previously issued shall be void and the operator shall be required to cease operation until the violation is remedied.

G.

Industrial Performance Standards.

1.

Noise. For the purpose of measuring the intensity and frequency of sound, the sound level meter, the octave band analyzer, and the impact noise analyzer shall be employed. The flat network and the fast meter response of the sound level meter shall be used. Sounds of short duration which cannot be measured accurately with the sound level meter shall be measured with the impact noise analyzer. Octave band analyzers calibrated in the preferred frequencies (American Standards Association 516-1960, Preferred Frequencies for Acoustical Measurements) shall be used with the following tables.

Exceptions:

The following uses and activities shall be exempt from the noise level regulations in the I-1 District.

a.

Noises not directly under control of the property user.

b.

Noises emanating from construction and maintenance activities between 7:00 A.M. and 10:00 P.M. Such activities are those which are non-routine operations accessory to the primary activities and which are temporary in nature, or conducted infrequently.

c.

The noises of safety signals, warning devices, and emergency pressure relief valves.

d.

Transient noises of moving sources such as automobiles, trucks, airplanes and railroads.

At no point along the boundary of a "residential district" or along an "adjacent lot" shall the sound pressure level of any operation or plant exceed the decibel limits in the octave bands designated below:

a.

Noises emanating from construction and maintenance activities between 7:00 A.M. and 10:00 P.M. Such activities are those which are non-routine operations accessory to the primary activities and which are temporary in nature, or conducted infrequently.

b.

The noises of safety signals, warning devices, and emergency pressure relief valves.

c.

Transient noises of moving sources such as automobiles, trucks, airplanes and railroads.

At no point along the boundary of a "residential district" or along an "adjacent lot" shall the sound pressure level of any operation or plant exceed the decibel limits in the octave bands designated below:

MAXIMUM PERMITTED SOUND LEVEL
(In Decibels)

(DAY TIME HOURS - 7:00 A.M. - 10:00 P.M. LOCAL TIME)

(NIGHT TIME HOURS - l0:00 P.M. - 7:00 P.M. LOCAL TIME)

Impact noises shall not exceed the following peak intensities:

2.

Vibration. Any industrial operation or activity which shall cause at any time and at any point along the nearest district boundary line, earthborne vibrations in excess of the limits set forth in Column I and Column II is prohibited.

In addition, any industrial operation or activity which shall cause at any time and at any point along a Residence District boundary line, earthborne vibrations in excess of the limits set forth in Column III is prohibited.

Exceptions. The following uses and activities shall be exempt from the vibration level regulations:

a.

Vibrations not directly under the control of the property user.

b.

Vibrations emanating from construction and maintenance activities between 7:00 A.M. and 9:00 P.M. Such activities are those which are non-routine operations accessory to the primary activities and which are temporary in nature, or conducted infrequently.

c.

Transient vibrations of moving sources such as automobiles, trucks, airplanes and railroads.

Vibrations shall be expressed as displacement in inches and shall be measured with a three-component measuring system approved by the Zoning Administrator.

* Steady-state vibrations, for purposes of this Ordinance, are vibrations which are continuous, or vibrations in discrete impulses more frequent than one hundred (100) per minute. Discrete impulses which do not exceed one hundred (100) per minute shall be considered impact vibrations and shall not cause in excess of twice the displacements stipulated.

** Impacts no more often than eight (8) times per twenty-four (24) hour period; vibrations occurring in discrete pulses separated by an interval of at least one minute and numbering no more than eight (8) in any twenty-four (24) hour period.

3.

Smoke and Particulate Matter. Dust and other types of air pollution borne by the wind from such sources as storage areas, yards, roads, and so forth within lot boundaries shall be kept to a minimum by appropriate landscaping, paving, oiling, or other acceptable means.

For the purpose of grading the density equivalent opacity of smoke, the Ringelmann Chart, published by the United States Bureau of Mines, shall be employed.

The emission of more than fifty (50) smoke units per hour per stack is prohibited, including smoke of a density in excess of Ringelmann No. 2. However, once during any three (3) hour period each stack may emit up to sixty-two (62) smoke units - not to exceed Ringelmann No. 2 - 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 four (4) minutes per period.

The rate of emission of particulate matter from all sources within the boundaries of any lot shall not exceed a net figure of three (3) pounds per acre of lot area during any one (1) hour, after deducting from the gross hourly emission per acre the correction factor set forth in the following table:

Allowance for Height of Emission*

*Interpolate for Intermediate values not shown in table.

Determination of the total net rate or emission of particulate matter within the boundaries of any lot shall be made as follows:

a.

Determine the maximum emission in pounds per hour from each source of emission and divide this figure by the number of acres of lot area - thereby obtaining the gross hourly rate of emission in pounds per acre.

b.

From each gross hourly rate of emission derived in (a) above, deduct the correction factor (interpolating as required) for height of emission set forth in the table, thereby obtaining the net rate of emission in pounds per acre per hour from each source of emission.

c.

Add together the individual net rates of emission derived in (b) above, to obtain the total net rate of emission from all sources of emission within the boundaries of the lot. Such total shall not exceed three (3) pounds per acre of lot area during any one hour.

4.

Toxic Matter. The measurement of toxic matter shall be made at ground level or habitable elevation and shall be the average of any twenty-four (24) hour sampling period. The release of any airborne toxic matter shall not exceed the fractional quantities permitted of those toxic shatters currently listed in the Threshold Limit Values adopted by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists. If a toxic substance is not contained in this listing, the applicant shall satisfy the County that the proposed levels will be safe and not detrimental to the general population nor injurious to plant and animal life.

In the I-2 District, the release of airborne toxic matter shall not exceed one-thirtieth ( 1/30 ) of the threshold limit values across lot lines.

5.

Noxious and Odorous Matter. In the I-2 District, no activity or operation shall cause at any time the discharge of matter across lot lines in such concentration as to be noxious. The emission of matter in such quantities as to be readily detectable as an odor at any point along district boundary lines when diluted in ratio of one (1) volume of odorous air to four (4) volumes of clean air is prohibited.

6.
