10. No operation. manufacture, or building use in said subdivision

A. Noise - Sound levels shall be measured with a sound level
meter and associated octave band filter manufactured according to standards
prescribed by the American Standards Association. Measurements shall be
made using the flat network of the sound level meter. Impulsive type noises
shall be subject to the performance standards hereinafter prescribed providinl:
that such noises shall be capable of being accurately measured with such
equipment. Noises capable of being so measured for the purpose of these
restrictions shall be those noises which cause rapid fluctuations of the needle
of the sound level meter with a variationof no more than plus or minus two
decibels. Noises incapable of being so measured, such as those of an
irregular and intermittent nature, shall be controlled so as not to become a
nuisance to adjacent uses.
At no point on the boundary of any individual parcel or the boundary of the
subdivision shall the sound intensity level of any individual operation or plant
(other than the operation of motor vehicles or other transportation facilities)
exceed the decibel levels in the designated octave bands shown in the
following table:

tion (the periodic displacement, measured in inches, of earth) shall be

e. C. Smoke and Particulate Matter - the emission of smoke or
particulate matter in such manner or quantity as to endanger or to be
detrimental to the public health, safety, comfort, or welfare is hereby
declared to be a public nuisance, and shall henceforth be unlawful.
e. For the purpose of grading the density of smoke, the Ringelmann Chart,
published and used by the United States Bureau of Mines, shall be
employed. The emission of smoke or particulate matter of a density
greater than No. 2 on the Ringelmann Chart is prohibited at all times ex-
cept as otherwise provided hereinafter.
The emission from all sources, within any lot area, of particulate matter
containing more than ten percent by weight or particles having a particle
diameter larger than 44 microns is prohibited.
Dust and other types of air pollution, borne by the wind from such sources
as storage areas, yards, roads, and the like within lot boundaries shall be --
kept to a minimum by appropriate landscapi ng, paving, oiling; fencing; or
acceptable means. Emission of particulate matter from such sources, in-
excess of the weight limitation hereinafter specified, is prohibited. * -
a. Smoke-Light Manufacturing District - The emission of more
than a ten smoke units per hour per stack is prohibited, including smoke of.
a density in excess of Ringelmann No. 2. However, once during any six-
hour period, each stack may emit up to 20 smoke units when blowing soot
or cleaning fires. Only during firecleaning period however, &all smoke
of Ringelmann No. 3 be permitted, and then for not more than four minutes.
The rate of emission of particulate matter from all sources within the
boundaries of any lot shall not exceed a net figure of one pound per acre of
lot area during any one hour, after deducting from the gross hourly emission
per acre the correction factor set forth in the following table:

*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:
1. 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.
2. From each gross hourly rate of emission derived in (1). 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.
-5-
3. Add together the individual net rates of emission derived in
(2), 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 pounds per acre of lot area during any one hour.
b. Smoke - Heavy Manufacturing District - The emission of
more than 15 smoke units per hour per stack is prohibited, including
smoke of a density in excess of Ringelmann No. 2. However, once during
any three-hour period, each stack may emit up to 30 smoke units, for
blowing soot, and for cleaning fires. During fire-clea n ing periods only,
a smoke of a density of Ringelmann No. 3 shall be permitted, and then
for not more than four minutes per period.
The.-rate of emission of particulate matter from-all .sources within-the-
boundaries':af any-lot shall not exceed a net figure..of three-pounds per.
acre of lotarea-during anyone hour,- after deducting-from-the gross hourly
emission:per acre the correction factor set forth in the following table:

*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:
1. 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.
2. From each gross hourly rate of emission derived in (1) 1.
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.
3. Add together the individual net rates of emission derived in
(2) above, to obtain the total net Tate of emission from all sources of
emission within the boundaries of the lot. Such total shall not exceed three
pounds per acre of lot area during any one hour. e D. Toxic Matter - No use shall, for any period of time, discharge
across the boundaries of the parcel wherein it is located, toxic matter in
such concentrations as to be detrimental to, or endanger the public health,
safety, comfort, or welfare, or cause injury or damage to property or
business.
..
-6-
E. Noxious and Odorous Matter - No activity or operation shall
cause, at any time, the discharge of matter across the lot lines in
such concentrations as to be noxious. The emission of odorous matter
in such quantities as to be readily detectable without the use of instruments
at any point along lot lines is prohibited. 0
11. No activities involving the storage, utilization or manufacture
of materials or products which decompose by detonation shall be permitted
in said subdivision.
