Noise Assessment Clause Samples
The Noise Assessment clause establishes requirements for evaluating and managing noise levels generated by a project or activity. Typically, it mandates that the responsible party conduct measurements or studies to determine if noise emissions comply with applicable standards or regulations, and may require the implementation of mitigation measures if excessive noise is detected. This clause serves to protect surrounding communities and environments from harmful noise pollution, ensuring compliance with legal limits and minimizing potential disputes or liabilities related to noise impacts.
Noise Assessment. In conformance with COUNTY's Noise Ordinance/Noise Manual, A-E maybe requested to furnish or evaluate acoustical reports/results documenting the effects of the proposed project.
Noise Assessment. Traffic Impact Analysis
Noise Assessment assess the impact of noise levels that the construction activities would have on the occupants. For noise control, consider the following:
5.1 Restricting noisy construction activities to limited hours.
5.2 Arranging for patients to be relocated during noisy activities if not evacuated.
5.3 Evacuate the occupants from the area.
5.4 Providing hearing protection for the occupants.
Noise Assessment. Develop a noise assessment, through a review and comparative noise model outlined as part of the ZETF Applicant Guide Annex A which identifies the need to quantify environmental benefits including noise.
Noise Assessment. If extraction and/or processing facilities are located within (150 metres for a pit or 500 for metres for a quarry) of a sensitive receptor, a noise assessment report is required to determine whether or not provincial guidelines can be satisfied. A Blast Design report is required if a sensitive receptor is within 500 metres of the limit(s) of extraction to demonstrate that provincial guidelines can be satisfied. For the Hydrogeological Report, MOE will review the document as per its legislative mandate. It should be noted that this type of Hydrogeological report under the ARA may not be sufficient to apply for a Permit to Take Water under the OWRA.
Noise Assessment. Implementation of the proposed project could result in an increase in noise levels within the areas surrounding the project site during construction as well as during project operations. Additionally, potential vibration impacts on the immediate surrounding land uses may occur during project construction from the operation of heavy-duty construction equipment. The approximately three-acre project site is currently occupied by single-story commercial/industrial buildings. The nearest existing noise-sensitive receptor location in the project vicinity is the mixed-use residential development located directly across ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇. These nearby sensitive receptors (i.e., residential units) may be adversely impacted by increased noise levels from project construction and operations. As part of the preparation of the noise assessment for the project, ESA will evaluate the potential construction and operational noise impacts on the nearby sensitive uses resulting from construction of the project and implement any necessary mitigation measures to minimize the identified noise impacts on these receptors. The first step in quantifying the impact a particular project may have on the existing noise environment is identifying the baseline noise conditions. ESA will conduct two long-term (24-hour) noise measurements at the project site and two short-term ambient noise level measurements in the project site vicinity using sound level meters that satisfy the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for general environmental noise measurement instrumentation. Construction noise levels at the nearest sensitive receptors will be estimated using the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Roadway Construction Noise Model (RCNM) and based on the type of construction equipment that will potentially be used, the amount of activity that would occur, and the distance that sensitive receptors are from the project site (information to be provided by the Applicant team). The potential construction noise impacts of the project will be evaluated against the applicable noise criteria established in the City of Burbank’s General Plan Noise Element and Municipal Code. Potential vibration impacts associated with construction activities will also be analyzed using vibration data provided by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for different pieces of construction equipment. If significant noise and vibration impacts on nearby sensitive land uses are determined, appropriate mitigation me...
