   For the purposes of this Chapter, the following words shall be defined as follows:
   COMBUSTIBLE: Any substance having a flashpoint above eighty (80) degrees Fahrenheit to and including one hundred fifty (150) degrees Fahrenheit as determined by the Tagliabue Open Cup Test, except the combustibility of solids or contents of self-pressured containers shall be determined by methods generally applicable to such materials or containers respectively.
   CORROSIVE: Any substance which in contact with living tissue causes destruction of tissue by chemical action; but does not refer to action on inanimate surfaces.
   FLAMMABLE or COMBUSTIBLE: Any substance which has a flashpoint of above twenty(20) degrees to and including eighty (80) degrees Fahrenheit as determined by the Tagliabue Open Cup Tester, and "extremely flammable" means any substance which has a flash-point at or below twenty (20) degrees Fahrenheit as determined by the Tagliabue Open Cup Tester, and "combustible" means any substance which has a flashpoint above eighty (80) degrees Fahrenheit to and including one hundred fifty (150) degrees, as determined by the Tagliabue Open Cup Tester.
   HAZARDOUS MATERIAL INCIDENT: An incident which threatens public health or safety involving the actual or reasonable potential for release of a hazardous substance or hazardous material.
   HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE or HAZARDOUS MATERIAL: Any substance or material or mixture of substances which is toxic, corrosive, an irritant, strong sensitizer, radioactive, flammable, combustible, or which generates pressure through decomposition, heat or other means and which may cause injury or illness to humans, domestic livestock, or wildlife or as defined by the Illinois Environmental Protection Act or any Federal law.
   HIGHLY TOXIC: Any substance which produces death within fourteen (14) days in at least half of a group of ten (10) or more laboratory white rats each weighing between two hundred (200) and three hundred (300) grams, when a single dose of fifty (50) milligrams or less per kilogram of body weight, is orally administered or when inhaled continuously for a period of one hour or less at an atmospheric concentration of two hundred (200) parts per million by volume or less of gas or vapor or two (2) milligrams per liter by volume or less of mist or dust, provided such concentration is likely to be encountered by man when the substance is used in any reasonably foreseeable manner, or which produces death within fourteen (14) days in at least half of a group of ten (10) or more rabbits tested in a dosage of two hundred (200) milligrams or less per kilogram of body weight, when administered by continuous contact with the bare skin for twenty four (24) hours or less.
   IRRITANT: Any substance, not corrosive, which on immediate, prolonged or repeated contact with normal living tissue will induce local inflammatory reaction.
   PERSON: Any individual, partnership, corporation, trust, firm, company, estate, association or other legal entity.
   RADIOACTIVE SUBSTANCE: Any substance which emits ionizing radiation.
   STRONG SENSITIZER: Any substance which will cause on normal living tissue through an allergic or photodynamic process a hypersensitivity which becomes evident on reapplication of the same substance.
   TOXIC: Any substance (other than a radioactive substance) which has the capacity to produce bodily injury or illness to man through ingestion, inhalation, or absorption through any body surface.
   TRUCK: Every motor vehicle being used or maintained for the transportation of property which includes any of the above-listed substances or any transported substances which are in a frozen state, heated state, liquid state or gaseous state contact with which would destroy living tissue.
6-6-2: PARKING PROHIBITIONS:
   1.   No person shall stop or park a truck or permit a truck to stand at any time, at any place, within the Village within one thousand feet (1,000') of any building or structure used for residential purposes, for school purposes, or for public assembly (more than 20 people), except: in the case where the property on the truck is being unloaded for use on the premises where the truck is parked, and the truck departs the premises as soon as reasonably possible after unloading is complete, or not longer than two (2) hours, whichever is less. However, the two (2) hour restriction may be extended by two (2) hours by the Village, if the Police Department and Fire Protection District are notified prior to the expiration of the initial two (2) hour period and there is no reasonably apparent risk of a hazardous material incident.
   2.   In the event that the driver and/or operator of the truck should be unable to move the truck further than one thousand feet (1,000') of a residential structure, school building, or building for public assembly (more than 20 people) due to mechanical problems, the driver and/or operator shall, as soon as possible, notify the Police Department and Fire Protection District and advise said agencies of the location and cargo of said truck.
6-6-3: NO PARKING WITHOUT CONSENT:  
   No person using any motor vehicle carrying, transporting or containing a hazardous substance or hazardous material shall park or permit said vehicle to stand, other than temporarily for the purpose of and while actually engaging in loading or unloading, on private property without the knowledge and the express consent of the person who is in charge of the property and who is aware of the nature of the hazardous substance or hazardous material the motor vehicle contains.
