Bell Rd. <br />Store #0131, 10825 Tatum Blvd. <br />Dear Ms. Piotrowski, <br />Pursuant to your request Dominion �nviro��menta] Consultants, v�c. performed a noise <br />survey on August ] 9, 2006, at Store # 0157 locatcd at 7290 W. Bell Rd. in Giendale, Arizona <br />and Store #0131 located at 10825 Tatum Blvd in Paradise Valley, Arizona. The purpose of th� <br />survey was to measure the level af audible noise on the exterior of the bt�ilding, as a result of <br />barlcing dogs. The survey was conducted on a typical Saturday during peak occupancy times, at <br />both locations. At the time of the measurements each location had in excess of one hundred and <br />fifty (150) dogs present in the Pets Hotel, and ar, additional fifteen (15) dogs iz� the day camp. <br />CONCLUSIONS: <br />Sound levels from the dogs barking at both locations were either not audible or were <br />below the ambient noise level, in a11 cases but one which was barely audible. The sound level <br />detected far this one exception was only barcly audible by the human ear within one foot (1') of� <br />the rear door of Store #0131, However, it was not measurable beyond background. At tr.e fifty <br />f'oot (50') mark fi-om the rear door the sotuzd was not audible by the hitman ear and therefore was <br />again not measurable. <br />The iinal conclusion based on the measurements taken at these two test sites is that there <br />was no measurable noise exposure oP dogs barking to the outdoor enviroiunent. In addition, <br />unless a person was standing within one foot (1') of the rear door of Store #0131 v�hen all dogs <br />were being intentionally agitated, there was no noise of dogs barking that was audible to the <br />human ear outside eitFier facility. <br />FiNll1NGS: <br />The Pet Hotel noise level measurements were obtained during tnaximum noise conditions <br />at each location, on August 19, 2006. '1'he measurements were obtained during tli� inorning <br />hours (9:00 AM and 1 L00 AIVI) and after closing time (10:00 PM - 12:00 PM), at each location. <br />DOMI�fION ENVIRONNiEN"1'AL CONSUL"fANTS, 1NC. <br />733U North 1Gth Strect, Suite B-lUl, Phocnix, Arizona 35020 <br />"IeL (6U2j 943-OOSI Fax: (602) 943-0553 <br />�v���w.daninionenv.itet <br />
