2. No activities involving the storage, utilization or manufacturing
of materials or products which decompose by detonation shall be per-
mitted, except such as are specifically licensed by the Village of
Elk Grove Village, or are used as customarily incidental to the
operation of a principal use in such quantities, and in a manner con-
forming with applicable performance standards set forth hereafter
under A-5 of this Section. Such materials shall include, but shall
not be confined to; all primary explosives such as lead azide, lead
styphnate, fulminates and tetracene; all high explosives such as TNT,
RDX, HMX, PSTN, and picric acid; propellants and components thereof
such as nitrocellulose, black powder, boron hydrides, hydrazine and
its derivatives; pyrotechnics and fireworks such as magnesium powder,
potassium chlorate and potassium nitrate; blasting explosives such as
dynamite and nitroglycerine; unstable organic compounds such as
acetylide, tetrazoles, perchloric acid, perchlorates, chlorates,
hydrogen peroxide in concentrations greater than 35 per cent; and
nuclear fuel; fissionable materials and products and reactor elements
such as Uranium 235 and Plutonium 239.
3. All activities involving the manufacturing, fabricating, assembly,
disassembly, repairing, storing, cleaning, servicing, and testing of
materials, products, and goods shall be within completely enclosed
buildings.
4. Any use established in a Manufacturing District which involves
the manufacturing, fabricating, assembly, disassembly, repairing,
storing, cleaning, servicing, or testing of materials, goods, or
products, shall be operated in such a manner as to comply with
applicable performance standards as hereinafter set forth governing
noise, smoke, particulate matter, toxic or noxious matter, odors,
fire and explosive hazards, or vibration, or glare or heat for the
district in which such use shall be located; and no use, already
established on the effective date of this ordinance, shall be so
altered or modified as to conflict with, or further conflict with
such applicable performance standards for the district in which such
use is located.
A. Performance Standards - 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. Implusive type noises shall
be subject to the performance standards hereinafter prescribed, pro-
vided that such noises shall be capable of being accurately measured
with such equipment. Noises capable of being so measured, for the pur-
pose of this ordinance, shall be those noises which cause rapid
fluctuations of the needle of the sound level meter, with a variation
of 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 a Residence or Business District 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:

B. Performance Standards - 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, com-
fort, or welfare, is hereby declared to be a public nuisance, and
shall henceforth be unlawful.
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,
except as otherwise provided hereinafter.
The emission, from all sources within any lot area, of particulate
matter containing more than ten per cent 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 area, yards, roads, and the like, within lot
boundaries, shall be kept to a minimum by appropriate landscaping,
paving, oiling, fencing, or acceptable means. Emission of particulate
matter from such sources in excess of the weight limitation herein
specified is prohibited.
Smoke
The emission of more than eight smoke units per hour per stack is
prohibited, including smoke of a density in excess of Ringelmann
page 2 Ord. #302
No. 2. However, during one one-hour period in each 24-hour day,
each stack may emit up to 16 smoke units when blowing soot or
cleaning fires. Only during fire -cleaning periods, however, shall
smoke of Ringelmann No. 3 be permitted, and then for not more than
three minutes.
C. Performances Standards - Toxic or Noxious Matter.
No use shall, for any period of t:Lme, discharge across the bo4.nc.arie:-
of the lot wherein it is located toxic or noxious matter in _--'-ch
concentrations as to be detrimental to, or endanger the public health,
safety, comfort, or welfare, or cause injury or damage to property or
business.
D. Performance Standards - Odors.
The emission of odorous matter in such quantity as to be readily
detectable at any point along lot lines, or as to produce a public
nuisance or hazard beyond lot lines is prohibited.
E. Performance Standards - Fire and Explosion Hazard.
1. The storage, utilization, or manufacture of materials or productF
ranging from incombustible to moderate burning - as detormined for
liquids by a closed cup flash point of not less thsn 187 dorroes F -

for the I°I District,
2� The storage, utilization, or manufacture of materials or products
ranging from free or active burning to intense burning -• as determined
