(A) Major alternative energy production devices. The use of a site for the production of energy utilizing methods that do not involve the oxidation, combustion or fission of primary materials. Typical uses include ground-mounted solar collector fields, geothermal energy installations serving more than one property, or water-powered mills or generating facilities.
(B) Minor alternative energy production devices. The use of a site for the production of energy utilizing methods that do not involve the oxidation, combustion, or fission of primary materials. Typical uses include roof mounted solar collector units, geothermal energy installations serving a single property, or other alternative energy production devices that are minimally obtrusive for single property use.
(C) Broadcasting/receiving tower. Any structure that is designed and constructed primarily for the purpose of supporting one or more antennas for telephone, radio and similar communication purposes, including self-supporting lattice towers, guyed towers or monopole towers. The term includes radio and television transmission towers, microwave towers, common-carrier towers, cellular telephone towers, alternative tower structures and the like. The term includes the structure and any support thereto.
(D) Construction batch plant. A permanent or temporary demountable facility used for the manufacturing of concrete, asphalt or other paving materials intended for specific construction projects.
(E) Wind energy conservation system (WECS). Any device which converts wind energy to a form of usable energy, including wind charges, windmills or wind turbines.
(F) Landfill (non-putrescible solid waste disposal). The use of a site as a depository for solid wastes that do not readily undergo chemical or biological breakdown under conditions normally associated with land disposal operations. Typical disposal material would include ashes, concrete, paving wastes, rock, brick, lumber, roofing materials and ceramic tile.
(G) Landfill (putrescible and non-putrescible solid waste disposal). The use of a site as a depository for any solid waste except hazardous and toxic waste as defined by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency and/or the state. Typical disposal material would include non-putrescible wastes, and putrescible wastes such as vegetation, tree parts, agricultural wastes (garbage) and manure.
