No person may violate the standards established in part 7030.0040, unless exempted by Minnesota Statutes, section 116.07, subdivision la. Any municipality having authority to regulate land use shall take all reasonable measures within its jurisdiction to prevent the establishment of land use activities listed in noise area classification (NAC) 1,2, or 3 in any location where the standards established in part 7030.0040 will be violated immediately upon establishment of the land use. Statutory Authority: MS s 116.07 subds 2,4 History: II SR 43; 18 SR 614 7030.0040 NOISE STANDARDS. Subpart 1. Scope. These standards describe the limiting levels of sound established on the basis of present knowledge for the preservation of public health and welfare. These standards are consistent with speech, sleep, annoyance, and hearing conservation requirements for receivers within areas grouped according to land activities by the noise area classification (NAC) system established in part 7030.0050. However, these standards do not, by themselves, identify the limiting levels of impulsive noise needed for the preservation of public health and welfare. Noise standards in subpart 2 apply to all sources. Subp. 2. Noise standards. Noise Area Classification I Daytime L50 LI 0 60 65 Nighttime L50 LIO 50 55 20
