I.* II*
Frequency Displacement Displacement
(Cycles per Second) (Inches) (Inches)
0 through 9 0.0008 0.0004
10 through 19 0.0005 0.0002
20 through 29 0.0003 0.0001

*Steady-state vibrations, for purposes of this Ordinance, are
vibrations that are continuous, or vibrations in discrete
impulses more frequent than 100 per minute. Discrete
impulses that do not exceed 100 per minute, must be
considered impact vibrations, and must not cause in excess of
twice the displacement stipulated.
e. Maximum Permitted Impact Vibration Displacement Level:
I* II*
Frequency Displacement Displacement
(Cycles per Second) (Inches) (Inches)_
0 through 9 0.0016 0.0006
10 through 19 0.0010 0.0003
20 through 29 0.0006 0.0002
30 through 39 0.0004 0.0001
40 and over 0.0002 0.0001
**Impact vibrations, for purposes of this Ordinance, are
vibrations that occur in discrete impulses separated by an
interval of at least one (1) minute and numbering not more
than eight in any 24-hour period.
3. Smoke and Particulate Matter
The emission, from all sources within any lot, or particulate matter
containing more than 5% by weight of 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, and roads within the boundaries of any lot must be kept to a
minimum by appropriate landscaping, paving, oiling, or other acceptable
means. Emission of particulate matter from such sources in excess of
the weight limitations specified herein is prohibited. The emission of
smoke or particulate matter of a density or equivalent opacity equal to,
or greater than, No. 2 on the Ringelmann Chart is prohibited at all times,
except as otherwise provided herein. (The Ringelmann Chart is the chart
published by the United States Bureau of Mines).
a. Smoke Emission
In the M-1 zone, the emission of more than 12 smoke units per
stack in any one hour period is prohibited. However, once
during any six hour period each stack must be permitted up to
12 additional units in a 15 minute period for soot blowing and
