The emission of odorous gases or other odorous matter from any property in such concentrations as to be readily detectable at any point along the boundaries of said property or in such concentrations as to create a public nuisance or hazard beyond such boundaries is prohibited.

Any process which may involve the creation or emission of any odors shall be provided with a secondary safeguard system, so that control will be maintained if the primary safeguard system should fail. There is established as a guide in determining such quantities of offensive odors, Table III, "Odor Thresholds," in Chapter 5, "Air Pollution Abatement Manual," by Manufacturing Chemists Association, Inc., Washington, D.C.
