These provisions, applicable to gray smoke, shall also apply to visible smoke of a different color but with equivalent apparent opacity.
B.
Fly Ash, Soot and Dust. The emission of any particles from any flue or smokestack shall not exceed 0.2 grains per cubic foot of the flue gas at a stack temperature of 500° F. and 50% excess air, and shall not cause any damage to the health of people, to animals, vegetation, or other forms, of property, or cause any excessive soiling. All walks, driveways, and parking or outdoor storage areas shall be paved or dust proofed.
C.
Noise.
(1)
At no point on the boundary of a Residence District, or property line other than a Residence District boundary, shall the sound pressure level of any individual operation or plat (other than background noises produced by sources not under the control of this chapter, such as the operation of motor vehicles or other transportation facilities) exceed the decibel levels in the designated octave bands shown below for the districts indicated:
Table A Maximum Permissible Sound Pressure Levels Maximum Sound Pressure Level in Decibels (1.0002 dynes per square centimeter) | ||
|---|---|---|
Octave Band in Cycles Per Second | Decibels Along Residence District Boundaries | Decibels Along Property Lines Other Than Residence District Boundaries |
0 to 75 | 72 | 79 |
76 to 150 | 67 | 74 |
151 to 300 | 59 | 66 |

(2)
Objectionable noises due to intermittence, beat, frequency or shrillness shall be muffled so as not to become a nuisance to adjacent uses.
(3)
At the specified points of measurement, the sound pressure level of noise radiated continuously from a facility shall not exceed the values given in Table A in any octave band of frequency. The sound pressure level shall be measured with a sound level meter and an octave band analyzer that conform to specifications published by the American Standards Association. (American Standard Sound Level Meters For Measurement of Noise and Other Sound, 224.3-1944, American Standards Association, Inc., New York, N.Y., and American Standard Specification for an octave -band filter, set for the analysis of noise and other sounds, 224. 10-1953, American Standards Association, Inc., New York, N.Y., shall be used.)

There is hereby established as a guide in determining such quantities of offensive odors Table 3 (Odor Thresholds) in Chapter 5 "Air Pollution Abatement Manual," copyright 1951 by Manufacturing Chemists Association, Inc., Washington, D.C. Where said publication gives a range of figures, a simple average of these shall be used.

Direct glare from incandescent exposed lights shall not be visible from adjoining streets or properties.
G.
Sewage. No discharge is permitted at any point in any private sewage disposal system or stream or into the ground, of any materials in such a way or of such nature or temperature as could contaminate any water supply, or otherwise cause the emission of dangerous objectionable elements except in accordance with the standards as approved by water pollution control boards or appropriate agencies of the Department of Health. Furthermore, no accumulation of solid wastes conducive to the breeding of rodents or insects shall be permitted.
H.
Vibration. Any use creating intense earth-shaking vibration shall be set back at least 500 feet from the lot lines on all sides, except for lot lines along or inside the Heavy Industrial District where such setback shall not be required, but in no case shall any vibration be perceptible along the boundary line of any zoning district other than the Heavy Industrial District.
I.
Fire and Safety. All buildings containing uses involving burning materials of any kind shall be of fireproof construction. Incombustible to moderate burning materials: permitted freely. Free or active burning to intense burning materials must be: enclosed within incombustible walls, forty-foot setback or automatic sprinkler, flammable vapors at ordinary temperatures, prohibited. This subsection shall not apply to the use of fuels. If such use is limited to storage, and movement of fuel is within appropriate containers or pipes.
