Mitigation Measures: The following construction noise control measures are included in the project <br /> to reduce significant short term noise impacts: <br /> MM NOI 2-l: Noise-generating activities at the construction site will be restricted to the <br /> hours between 7:00 AM and 8:00 PM, Monday through Friday. No <br /> construction activities will occur on Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays. <br /> MM NOI 2-2: Equip all internal combustion engine driven equipment with intake and <br /> exhaust mufflers which are in good condition and appropriate for the <br /> equipment. <br /> MM NOI 2-3: Locate stationary noise generating equipment as far as possible from adjacent <br /> residential land uses. <br /> MM NOI 2-4: Acoustically shield stationary equipment located near existing residential land <br /> uses. <br /> MM NOI 2-5: Utilize"quiet" air compressors and other stationary noise sources where <br /> technology exists. <br /> MM NOI 2-6: The contractor shall prepare a detailed construction plan identifying the <br /> schedule for major noise generating construction activities. The construction <br /> plan shall identify a procedure for coordination with the adjacent noise <br /> sensitive facilities so that construction activities can be scheduled to minimize <br /> noise disturbance. <br /> MM NOI 2-7: Designate a"disturbance coordinator"who would be responsible for <br /> responding to any local complaints about construction noise. The disturbance <br /> coordinator will determine the cause of the noise complaint(e.g. starting too <br /> early,bad muffler, etc.) and will require that reasonable measures warranted <br /> to correct the problem be implemented. Conspicuously post a telephone <br /> number for the disturbance coordinator at the construction site and include it <br /> in the notice sent to neighbors regarding the construction schedule. <br /> MM NOI 2-8: Control noise from construction workers' radios to the point where they are <br /> not audible at existing residences that border the project site. <br /> MM NOI 2-9: Prohibit unnecessary idling of internal combustion engines. <br /> 4.12.4 Conclusion <br /> Implementation of the proposed mitigation measures will reduce both noise impacts to future <br /> residents and nearby uses from operation of the proposed proj ect, and temporary noise impacts <br /> associated with construction of the proposed project to less than significant levels.
