§ 10-360. Mud, dirt, clay, etc., on public roads.  


Latest version.
  • The owner and/or license holder of any site for utilization and disposal of sludge shall take whatever steps are necessary to avoid any motor vehicle carrying or tracking onto any public right-of-way from the site any mud, dirt, clay, refuse, etc. If mud, dirt, clay, refuse, etc., is carried or tracked onto a public right-of-way and it does or might constitute a nuisance or hazard to public safety, the owner and/or license holder shall clean the right-of-way when and as often as is necessary, presuming weather conditions permit. In any case, an owner and/or licenseholder shall not leave any such debris on a public right-of-way after the end of any working day. If notified during a working day by the township of a condition which requires cleaning, the matter shall be taken care of within eight hours, weather permitting. If a nuisance or hazardous condition is left after a working day, or not cleaned up within eight hours after receiving a request from the township, and weather does not prevent the cleanup, the township may issue a citation for each occurrence or take any other legal action that may be necessary because of the violation of this section due to the allowance of such condition to remain on the highway and/or clean the right-of-way and charge the owner and/or permit holder with the cost thereof, which may be collected in any court having general jurisdiction.
