Air, water and environment pollution. No use shall emit heat, odor, vibrations, noise or any other pollutant into the ground, water or air that exceeds the most stringent applicable State and Federal regulation. Each development shall ensure the minimization of attracting exotic and nuisance plant and animal species. No permit shall be issued for any use where a State permit is required until the State has ascertained and approved the level and quality of emission, control and the level of monitoring to be conducted.

Any application for a proposed development that will generate substantial vehicular traffic or space heating emissions, including development involving 100 or more dwelling units or more than 300 parking spaces, shall require the submission of a traffic impact statement and environmental assessment per Subsection 12-10.3b(35-36).

Storage and waste disposal. No materials shall be deposited so natural forces such as precipitation; surface water, evaporation or wind can transfer them off the lot, directly or indirectly. All materials, which might create a pollutant or be a safety hazard or health hazard shall be stored indoors and/or be enclosed in appropriate containers to eliminate such pollutant or hazard. No bulk storage of materials or equipment shall be in any front yard, nor closer to any street line than 100 feet and no closer to any side or rear lot line than the minimum setback for the principal buildings. Each site shall provide appropriate area(s), properly screened from adjacent property, for the orderly deposit and pickup of trash and garbage.

Drainage. No stormwater or natural drainage which originates on the property or water generated by the activity (e.g., air conditioners, swimming pools, etc.) shall be diverted across property lines unless transported in an approved or existing drainage system.

Electronic equipment.

Glare. No use shall produce a strong, dazzling light or reflection of a strong, dazzling light or glare beyond its lot lines. Exterior lighting shall be shielded, buffered, and directed so that glare, direct light or reflection will not become a nuisance to adjoining properties, adjoining units, adjoining districts or streets per Subsection 12-5.8.

Heat. No use shall produce heat perceptible beyond its lot lines. Further, no use shall be permitted which could cause the temperature to rise or fall in any body of water, except that this provision shall not apply to any sewerage treatment plant which has received approval by the State Department of Environmental Protection.

Noise. Noise levels shall be designated and operated in accordance with local regulations and those rules established by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection as they may be adopted and amended.

Odor. Odors shall not be discernible at the lot line or beyond unless precluded by another section in this chapter. Any process which may involve the creation or emission of any odors shall be provided with a secondary safeguard system so that control will be maintained if the primary safeguard system should fail.

Storage and waste disposal of recyclable material. Per New Jersey State Recycling all development plans shall provide for sufficient area for the storage of recyclable materials as follows:

Ventilation. No use shall obstruct the natural ventilation of adjacent uses nor contaminate the air with excessive heat or odor. Further, no air conditioners or exhaust fans shall be permitted to discharge exhausted air unless set back from all property lines at least 10 feet or equipped with baffles to deflect the discharged air away from the adjacent use. Air conditioners and vents on rooftops shall be screened from view.

Vibration. There shall be no vibration which is discernible to the human senses or which is at low or high frequencies capable of causing discomfort or damage to life or property.

Water quality.
