§ 135-1101. Establishment of standards.

Any use permitted by right or special permit in any district shall not be conducted in a manner as to emit any dangerous, noxious, injurious or otherwise objectionable fire, explosion, radioactivity or other hazard, noise or vibration, smoke, dust, odor or other form of environmental pollution; electrical or other disturbance; glare; liquid or solid refuse or wastes; conditions conducive to the breeding of insects or rodents; or any other substance, condition or element in an amount as to affect adversely the surrounding environment. The following standards shall apply:

A. 

Emissions shall be completely and effectively confined within the building or so regulated as to prevent any nuisance, hazard or other disturbance from being perceptible, without the use of instruments, at any lot line of the premises on which the use is located.

B. 

All activities and all storage of flammable and explosive materials at any point shall be provided with adequate safety devices against fire and explosion and adequate fire-fighting and fire-suppression devices and equipment, as approved by the Chief of Fire Department.

C. 

No activities that emit dangerous radioactivity at any point, no electrical disturbance adversely affecting the operation at any point of any equipment, other than that of the creator of such disturbance, shall be permitted.

D. 

No air emission shall be permitted except in accordance with the regulations for the control of air pollution in the Metropolitan Boston Air Pollution District under MGL c. 111, § 142D.

E. 

No emission which can cause any damage to the health of animals or vegetation or which can cause excessive soiling at any point, and in no event any emission of any solid or liquid particles in a concentration exceeding 0.5 milligram per liter or parts per million of conveying gas or air shall be permitted.

F. 

No discharge, at any point, into a private sewer system, stream, the ground or a municipal sewage disposal system of any material in such a way or of such a nature or temperature as can contaminate any running stream, water supply or otherwise cause the emission of dangerous or objectionable elements and accumulation of wastes conducive to the breeding of rodents or insects shall be permitted.

G. 

No emissions of odorous gases or odiferous matter in such quantities as to be offensive shall be permitted. Any process which may involve the creation and/or emission of any odors shall be provided with a secondary safeguard system. No objectionable odor greater than that caused by 0.001202 per thousand cubic feet of hydrogen sulfide or any "odor threshold" as defined in Table III in Chapter 5 of Air Pollution Abatement Manual, copyright 1951, by Manufacturing Chemists Association, Inc., of Washington D.C., shall be permitted. No direct sky-reflected glare, whether from floodlights or from high-temperature processes such as welding, shall be permitted.
