      (1)   All production, processing, cleaning, servicing, testing, repair, or storage of goods, materials, or products shall conform with the performance standards set forth in §§ 159.022 through 159.027; and
      (2)   Within 150 feet of a Residence District, all business, production, servicing, processing, and storage shall take place or be within completely enclosed buildings, except that storage of materials or products may be open to the sky provided the storage area is enclosed with a solid wall or fence, as required within this chapter, or as additionally required by the Zoning Officer. However, within 150 feet of a Residence District, off-street loading facilities and off-street parking of motor vehicles under one and one-half ton capacity may be unenclosed, except for screening of parking and loading facilities as may be required under the provisions of §§ 159.112 through 159.116.
   (B)   Permitted. The following uses are permitted:
      (1)   Any use permitted in the M-1 District;
      (2)   Any production, processing, cleaning, servicing, testing, repair, or storage of materials, goods, or products which conforms to the performance standards established for this district;
      (3)   Cement block manufacturer;
      (4)   Personal communication facility, located on property owned by the village or other government entity.
   (C)   Special uses. Upon recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission, after public hearing on the petition pertaining thereto, in accordance with the requirements set forth in § 159.176, special uses of this chapter, the corporate authorities of the village may, by "special use permit" allow the following in the district:
      (1)   Any use which may be allowed as a "special use" in the M-1 District;
      (2)   Clean construction and demolition debris (CCDD) facility in conformance with the state statutes governing the siting, location, approval, notice, study and fees of such facilities. In addition, CCDD facilities must conform to the following standards:
         (a)   Facilities must obtain and maintain a permit from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA). Facilities must conform to all IEPA regulations and submit to all inspections from the IEPA or its designee, the Will County Land Use Department.
         (b)   The borders of the property shall be screened with a solid fence, wall, landscaped berm at least six feet in height, or natural screen barrier capable of providing 100% screening when the property is adjacent to or across the street from any district other than an industrial district or when the property abuts a public right-of-way.
         (c)   Facilities must ensure that no dirt, mud, dust, or debris is tracked onto any public roadway by vehicles leaving the site. Any costs for road cleaning shall be the sole responsibility of the applicant.
         (d)   All loads accepted for disposal at the site shall be able to trace back to their point of origin through the use of the applicable IEPA Certification form and a profile number unique to each generating source location. Records of loads accepted shall be kept in accordance with the site's IEPA permit or for a period of three years. In the event of consolidated loads accepted containing soils originating from more than one generator, a list of all origins will be traceable from the records or confirmation through analytical testing may be utilized.
         (e)   At a minimum, one random soil load delivered to the facility each day, shall be selected for a discharge inspection. The driver of any randomly selected load must be directed to discharge the load at a separate, designated location within the facility. The load shall be spread out and screened with a PID or other monitoring devices approved by the applicable authorities. Readings shall not exceed the background levels. Loads shall also be screened for non-CCDD materials. Documentation of results shall be recorded and the records kept per the site's IEPA permit. If the load is rejected then the load is to be immediately removed from the site and no further loads are to be accepted from the generating source until compliance with IEPA regulations can be re-established.
         (f)   Any rejected loads shall be reported to the applicable authorities within 24 hours. For all loads the owner or operator is required to report, at a minimum, name and location address of facility, the date and time of the inspection, the weight or volume of the CCDD or uncontaminated soil, the name of the hauler, the name of the hauling firm, the vehicle identification number or license plate number, the source site owner and operator, and the location of the site of origin of the fill.
         (g)   No on-site salvaging of CCDD materials or byproducts shall be allowed unless expressly permitted by the IEPA. Materials serving a beneficial use on site may be re-used.
         (h)   A plan for the reclamation of the land shall be provided as part of the application for the special use permit. The plan of reclamation shall be accompanied by security in an amount equal to the cost to cover the site with one foot of topsoil and appropriate seeding. The applicant shall provide a cost estimate for this work by a certified professional engineer. This estimate may be reviewed every five years and adjusted for the current state of the facility and the Construction Cost Index (CCI). Any security amount required by the IEPA may be deducted from this amount.
         (i)   In the event of facility closure by any enforcement agency, operations shall cease until the facility owner provides written proof that the matter has been resolved with the applicable authorities, and that such authorities or a court of competent jurisdiction have authorized the reopening and continued operation of the facility.
