Camden County's ordinance bars any industrial, commercial, or community-service facility from exceeding 65 dBA (day) or 50 dBA (night) at a residential property line, with octave-band and 80 dB impulsive limits also applying.
Section 5.1.2(a) prohibits sound from any industrial, commercial, public-service, or community-service facility that, measured at a residential property line, exceeds 65 dBA continuous from 7:00 am to 10:00 pm or 50 dBA from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am, plus specified octave-band pressure levels and an 80-decibel impulsive peak. When measured at another commercial facility's property line, the cap is 65 dBA at all times. This is the county's core stationary-source authority; industrial pretreatment/wastewater noise near sewer facilities involves CCMUA separately.
Violation of Table I / § 5.1.2; up to $3,000 per offense; measurements per N.J.A.C. 7:29B; abatement orders available.
