1. COMPLIANCE REQUIRED. No land or building in any district shall be used or occupied in any manner so as to create any dangerous, injurious, noxious or otherwise objectionable fire, explosive or other hazard; noise or vibration; smoke, dust, odor or other form of air pollution; heat, cold, dampness, electrical or other disturbance; glare; liquid or solid refuse or wastes; or other substance, condition or element in such a manner or in such amount as to adversely affect the surrounding area or adjoining premises, provided that any use permitted or not expressly prohibited by these regulations may be undertaken and maintained if it conforms to the regulations of this chapter limiting dangerous and objectionable elements at the point of the determination of their existence.
2. AIR POLLUTION. No person or activity shall emit any fly ash, dust, fumes, vapors, mists, or gases in such quantities so as to substantially contribute to exceeding state or federal air pollution standards.
3. FIRE AND EXPLOSIVE HAZARDS. All activities involving the manufacturing, and storage of flammable or explosive materials shall be provided with adequate safety devices against the hazard of fire and explosion and with adequate fire-fighting and fire-suppression equipment and devices that are standard in the industry. All materials that range from active to intense burning shall be manufactured, utilized, processed, or stored only within completely enclosed buildings which have incombustible exterior walls and an automatic fire extinguishing system.
4. GLARE AND HEAT. No activity shall emit glare or heat that is visible or measurable outside its premises except activities which may emit direct or sky reflected glare which shall not be visible outside their district. All operations producing intense glare or heat shall be conducted within a completely enclosed building. Exposed sources of light shall be shielded so as not to be visible outside their premises.
5. WATER QUALITY PROTECTION. No discharge shall be permitted at any point into the public sewers, private sewage disposal system, surface or subsurface waters so as to contaminate, pollute or harm such waters or cause floating or submerged debris, oil, scum, unsightliness or be harmful to human, animal, plant or aquatic life. In addition, no activity shall withdraw water or discharge any liquid or solid materials so as to exceed, or contribute toward the exceeding of, the minimum standards set forth in Chapter NR 102 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code.
6. NOISE.
   1. Manufacturing Districts. No activity in any manufacturing district shall produce a sound level outside the district boundary or at any point within an adjacent residential district that exceeds the following sound level measured by a sound level meter and associated octave level filter:
      

      Octave Band Frequency (Cycles per Second)	Sound Level (Decibels)
      0 to 75	79
      75 to 150	74
      150 to 300	66
      300 to 600	59
      600 to 1200	53
      1200 to 2400	47
      2400 to 4800	41
      Above 4800	39

   2. Other Districts. No noise in any other district other than a manufacturing districts shall produce a sound level measured at the lot line of the premises producing the activity that exceeds the following:
      

      Octave Band Frequency (Cycles per Second)	Sound Level (Decibels)
      0 to 75	79
      75 to 150	67
      150 to 300	59
      300 to 600	52
      600 to 1200	46
      1200 to 2400	40
      2400 to 4800	34
      Above 4800	32

   3. Mitigation. All noise shall be muffled or otherwise controlled as to not become objectionable due to intermittence, duration, beat frequency, impulse character, periodic character or shrillness. All sirens, whistles, and bells which are maintained and utilized solely to serve a public purpose are exempt from the sound level standards of this section.
7. ODORS. No emission of odorous gasses or other odorous matter shall be permitted as to be offensive, obnoxious, or unhealthful at any point outside the premises from which the emission occurs. Any process which may involve the creation or emission of any odors shall provide a primary and secondary safeguard system, so that control of odors will be maintained by the secondary safeguard system should the primary safeguard system fail. The guide for determining odor measurement and control shall be Table III, "Odor Thresholds," in Chapter 5, "Air Pollution Abatement Manual," copyright 1951 by Manufacturing Chemists' Association, Inc., Washington D.C.; and Chapter NR 154 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code, whichever provides the greater protection.
8. RADIOACTIVITY AND ELECTRICAL DISTURBANCES. No activity shall emit radioactivity or electrical disturbances outside its premises that are dangerous or adversely affect the use of neighboring premises.
9. VIBRATION. No vibration shall be permitted which is discernable without instruments outside its premises which is generating the vibrations. No activity shall emit vibrations which exceed the following displacement measured with a three-component measuring system:
   

   Frequency	Displacement (inches)
   Cycles per Second	Outside the Premises	Outside the District
   0 to 10	.0020	.0004
   10 to 20	.0010	.0002
   20 to 30	.0006	.0001
   30 to 40	.0004	.0001
   40 to 50	.0003	.0001
   50 and over	.0002	.0001

10. LIGHTING. No exterior lighting used for parking lots, recreational facilities, product display, or security shall interfere with the operation motor vehicles and uses of land in the vicinity of the light source. These requirements shall not apply to lighting placed in a public right-of-way for public safety.
    1. Type. Shielded luminaries, or luminaries with cutoff optics, and careful fixture placement may be required so as to insure compliance with this section.
    2. Minimum Lighting Standards. All areas designated on approved site plans for vehicular parking, loading, or circulation and used for any such purpose after sunset shall provide artificial illumination in such areas at a minimum intensity of 0.4 footcandles, exclusive of approved anti-vandal lighting. This standard shall not apply to properties in agricultural and single-family residential districts.
    3. Intensity of Illumination. The intensity of illumination, measured at the property line, shall not exceed 0.5 footcandles.
    4. Location. Light fixtures shall not be permitted within required buffer yards.
    5. Nuisances. Lighting which creates or becomes a public nuisance is not permitted.
    6. Accent Lighting and Low Voltage Lighting. Access lighting and low voltage lighting of 12 volts or less are exempt from these requirements.
    7. Nonconforming Lighting. All lighting fixtures approved prior to the adoption of this Chapter shall be treated as and regulated as legal nonconforming uses.
