§ 68-2. Purpose.

Latest version.

It is the intention of the Town Board of the Town of Brookhaven by the adoption of this chapter to establish and impose restrictions upon the construction and operation of outdoor furnaces within the limits of the Town for the purpose of securing and promoting the public health, comfort, convenience, safety, welfare and prosperity of the Town and its inhabitants. It is generally recognized that the use of such furnaces creates noxious and hazardous smoke, soot, fumes, odors and air pollution. These byproducts can be detrimental to residents' health and can deprive neighboring residents of the enjoyment of their property or premises. The hazards and adverse impacts associated with outdoor furnaces outweigh any benefit their use may realize.
