<br />Odors & Dust Durio!! Construction <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The proposed project will not generate any odors during construction. Dust normal to <br />construction will occur as a result ofthis project. Dust generated during construction will <br />be minimized through standard dust control measures such as watering, After construction <br />is complete, dust levels are anticipated to be minimal because all soil surfaces will be in <br />permanent cover (i.e., pavement or grassed areas). <br /> <br />Construction Noise <br /> <br />Typical construction noise will be generated during project construction. Noise impacts <br />caused by construction activities in the project area will vary depending on the type of <br />equipment in use, the location of equipment on the construction site, and the operating mode. <br />During a typical work cycle, construction equipment may be idling, preparing to perform a <br />task, or operating under a full load. It may be congregated in a specific area or spread out <br />over a larger area. For this reason, the total noise impact on a single receiver point resulting <br />from construction of the project will vary both day-to-day and hour-to-hour. <br /> <br />The range of average noise levels monitored at 50 feet from a variety of types of construction <br />equipment is shown in Table 2 I. These types of equipment are generally associated with site <br />grading and site preparation, generally the noisiest phases of construction. <br /> <br />TABLE 21 <br />TYPICAL CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT NOISE LEVELS AT 50 FEET <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Equipment Type Peak Noise Level Range (dBA) (dBA) Average <br />Scraper 80-93 88 <br />Dozer 72-84 80 <br />Compactor 73-75 74 <br />Truck 82-94 91 <br /> <br />Source: From the most recent information published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, <br />Washington, D.C., Noise from Construction Equipment and Operations, Building <br />Equipment and Home Appliances, December 31, 1971. <br /> <br />The actual noise levels that may be experienced near a construction zone depend on: <br /> <br />. The distance between the construction equipment and the receiver. <br /> <br /> <br />. The type of equipment in use. <br /> <br /> <br />. The percentage of the time the equipment attains the peak level. <br /> <br /> <br />.
