07/27/2015 a. Construction Plan. Prepare a detailed construction plan identifying the schedule for major noise-generating construction activities. The construction plan shall identify a procedure for coordination with nearby noise-sensitive facilities so that construction activities and the event schedule can be scheduled to minimize noise disturbance. This plan shall be provided to all noise-sensitive land uses within 500 feet of the construction site. b. Construction Equipment Mufflers and Maintenance. Equip all internal combustion engine-driven equipment with intake and exhaust mufflers that are in good condition and appropriate for the equipment. c. Equipment Locations. Locate stationary noise-generating equipment required on construction project sites as far as possible from sensitive receptors when sensitive receptors adjoin or are near a construction project site. d. Quiet Equipment Selection. Use quiet construction equipment, particularly air compressors, wherever feasible. e. Temporary Barriers. Construct solid plywood fences around construction sites adjacent to residences, operational businesses, or noise-sensitive land uses. f. Temporary Noise Blankets. Temporary noise control blanket barriers should be erected along building facades of construction sites to attenuate noise from elevated activities if noise conflicts cannot be resolved by scheduling. (Noise control blanket barriers can be rented and quickly erected.) g. Noise Disturbance Coordinator. For projects that would last over one year in duration, the City may choose to require project designation of a "Noise Disturbance Coordinator"who would be responsible for responding to any local complaints about construction noise. The Disturbance Coordinator would determine the cause of the noise complaint(e.g., starting too early, bad muffler, etc.) and institute reasonable measures to correct the problem. Post in a conspicuous location a telephone number for the Disturbance Coordinator at the construction site and include it in the notice sent to neighbors regarding the construction schedule. (The project sponsor should be responsible for designating a Noise Disturbance Coordinator, posting the phone number, and providing construction schedule notices. The Noise Disturbance Coordinator would work directly with an assigned City staff member.) 73. Construction Air Emissions—The applicant shall comply with the following measures to reduce air emissions during construction:[SDR][BUILDING] a. Water all exposed surFaces (e.g., parking areas, staging areas, soil piles, graded areas, and unpaved access roads) two times per day. b. Cover all haul trucks transporting soil, sand, or other loose material off-site. c. Remove all visible mud or dirt track-out onto adjacent public roads using wet power vacuum street sweepers at least once per day. Dry power sweeping is prohibited. d. Limit speeds of all vehicle on unpaved roads to 15 mph. e. Pave all roadways, driveways, and sidewalks as soon as possible. Building pads shall be laid as soon as possible after grading unless seeding or soil binders are used. f. Minimize idling times either by shutting equipment off when not in use or reducing the maximum idling time to 5 minutes (as required by the California airborne toxics control measure Title 13, Section 2485 of California Code of Regulations [CCR]). Provide clear signage for construction workers at all access points. Page 16 of 20 ATTY/RE50.3115/CC RESO APPROVING TM,DPC,PARKING IN-LEU RESO.#15431 REV:07-17-15 VR MUFF#609
